When we reached the Adventurer's Guild, I went straight ahead and completed my registration. The card they handed me was plain—just my name and my adventurer rank written on it.
Ranks went from G up to S, and you rose through the tiers by building up achievements. You could only take requests at your own rank, or one rank higher. Naturally, as a newcomer, I was starting at G-rank.
On Jeanne's recommendation, I had my registration handled by a receptionist named Linda-san. She was a lovely woman with shoulder-length dark-brown hair and gentle, drooping eyes.
Of course, Jeanne whispered to me with an annoyed look that Linda-san had recently gotten herself a boyfriend.
"Enough already!!!"
Just as we were about to leave, a girl's angry voice rang out through the guild hall. Sounded like a fight had broken out.
When I turned to look, I saw a strong-willed girl with waist-length pink hair and striking violet eyes glaring fiercely at three men.
Even through the loose black robe she wore, it was obvious she was stacked—her breasts were massive, the kind of figure that screamed erotic without even trying.
"Heh-heh. Don't waste your time with some brat. You'd be better off partying with us. Besides, we'll make sure you feel real good while we're at it."
The classic cliché. A trio of scummy adventurers harassing a girl. She shot them a glare filled with contempt.
"This won't do…"
Jeanne immediately stepped forward to break it up.
"Hey, Don! Cut it out already!"
The burly man called Don grimaced the moment Jeanne butted in.
"Che! Jeanne! Don't think getting promoted to A-rank means you can act all high and mighty!"
With that parting shot, the three men slunk off.
"Thank you, Jeanne-san!"
The pink-haired girl's face lit up with relief as she thanked Jeanne. It looked like that settled things quick enough.
"It was nothing, Marie. I just couldn't stand the thought of someone as beautiful as you getting hurt."
So the two of them already knew each other. Jeanne's face was practically melting as she spoke with the girl—Marie, apparently.
"I didn't know you were such a great adventurer, Jeanne. I really respect you."
I cut in on their conversation, and that's how I learned Jeanne was actually an A-rank adventurer.
"And who are you supposed to be!?"
The moment I opened my mouth, Marie gave me a sharp, downright hostile glare.
"He's Yuri. I came to the guild today just to accompany him for his adventurer registration," Jeanne explained kindly, covering for me. Jeanne really was a good person.
"Hmph. So that's it. How old are you, anyway?"
"Fifteen, but…"
"Ha! So you're younger than me!"
Marie let out a smug little laugh, clearly pleased. What's so bad about being younger, anyway?
"Ahaha. Marie's seventeen, so she's your senpai by two years," Jeanne added with a wry smile, smoothing things over again. Thanks, Jeanne.
"Since I'm older, you'd better show me some proper respect!"
Marie puffed out her chest proudly. Her enormous breasts bounced under her robe as she did so. God, that was sexy. Still… I had definitely just met a very stuck-up girl.
"If only I were stronger…"
As I was still reeling from Marie's attitude, a timid-looking boy with long blond bangs hiding his eyes mumbled quietly. He seemed to know her.
"Al, you don't need to worry about that! I'll protect you!"
So his name was Al. The way Marie treated him was completely different—still bossy, but protective, even doting.
"We're all beginners here. Why not try to get along?" Jeanne suggested, trying to smooth things over again. So despite her attitude, Marie was just a rookie too.
"Well, if Jeanne-san says so, I'll go along with it… but don't you dare drag me down!"
Marie pouted, but at least it seemed she was willing to get along with me.
"Sorry. I'll do my best not to hold Marie back, either."
"Al! I keep telling you, you don't need to worry about things like that!"
It looked like Al was completely under Marie's thumb. And Marie, in turn, was clearly head over heels for him.
Since Jeanne was going to train Marie and Al, I decided to head home first. Marie complained that I wasn't joining in, but honestly, I didn't care.
As I walked through the city streets in the evening, I happened to run into Anna-chan, trudging along with a gloomy look.
When I asked what was wrong, she told me she'd just come back from a date with Tom-kun. But apparently, she was worried that their relationship wasn't moving forward at all.
I promised her that, as someone her age, I'd listen to her worries sometime soon. With that, we parted ways.
When I returned to the tavern I lived in, Lize-san found out I'd come back alone without Jeanne. Until the shop opened for the night, she drained every last drop of semen out of me.
By the time Jeanne returned, Lize-san's skin was glowing, smooth and radiant. Jeanne gave her a suspicious look, but I just played dumb.
And thus, the second day of my life in another world came to a close.
