Chapter 185: Eyes off
A while after Nessa finished freshening up and doing her normal morning routine, she got dressed then approached the two and Isamu handed her their bag and she smiled before collecting it and taking her breakfast out.
"Now, are you two going to walk?" She asked and the wolf looked at her.
"I will walk with Isamu," He responded and she smiled then patted both of them on the head.
"All right, but you will be walking ahead of me, not behind or aside, I don't want anyone snatching you two away and I won't know, got it?" She asked.
"Got it," They replied.
"All right, let's go," She said as she walked away.
They left the inn with her, heading to the guild, where Nessa knew they'd run into some issues, but she didn't care because she had already made up her mind and had no intention of letting anyone take anything from her, at least not without her permission.
"Lady Nessa, I see people with shimmering eyes looking at us," Isamu mumbled, and Nessa chuckled while eating.
"That's because you are both too cute to resist; you'll have to get used to it like Akio did; he runs away so people don't fluff him," She said and Isamu sighed.
"That can be so tormenting," He replied.
"Yeah, I know how it is, all right, since you guys can release a little bit of your weight, one of you can take my right shoulder and the other can take the left, I don't mind how I look," She said and the young wolf chuckled as Isamu sighed.
"You know we will never do that to you lady Nessa, pretty sure that will just draw more unwanted attention to ourselves, that we really don't want," He replied and she smiled before drinking a bottle of juice and finally they arrived at the guild.
"Well, we are here," Nessa said as they entered and saw a few people looking at them and she glanced at them before approaching Yonja and his friends who were sitting by a table and they smiled at her.
"Good morning," They said as she sat down.
"Good morning guys, sorry if I am a bit late," She replied before sitting down.
"You don't have to apologize, you are not late, in fact, I would day you are right on time," Sophia said and Nessa smiled at her before Isamu jumped up and sat beside Nessa then looked down at the wolf who wagged his tail and Nessa smiled before tapping the seat beside her, inviting him to sit and he jumped up then sat down and she patted him on the head.
"He opened up to you?" Yonja asked.
"In a way yes and in a way no," She responded.
"Well, I don't know what will happen, but I guess we will see, hold onto him, I see you got eyes looking at you, some not in a good way, creatures like these are nice to have by your side, after all," Yonja said and Nessa sighed.
"Thanks for the reminder as well, but I will handle them, I have a thing for people who like to be wrong and strong, I will not let anyone stand in the way of what I want, not now or ever," Nessa replied as Yonja looked at her then exhaled deeply.
"You are tough," He said.
"Thank you," She replied.
"That was not a compliment, woman," He said and the others burst out laughing as Nessa grinned and Yonja scoffed while staring at them.
"Hey," Another adventurer said as he approached them with a few of his tall and muscular men.
Nessa looked at him and smiled.
"How can I help you, mister?" She asked.
"Is that the wolf I hear everyone say you collected?" He asked and she exhaled deeply before looking at the wolf who grabbed onto her clothes and she looked back at the guy.
"Not collected, he is mine," She responded and he burst out laughing as her eyes narrowed while staring at him.
"You think you are going to get it? The guild master will not let you, how about you just hand it over to us and keep yourself from getting into trouble?" He suggested and she scoffed.
"Yeah, keep on daydreaming, I am not giving you anything so I suggest that you get lost before you lose something, also, just so you know, I am not asking anyone's permission, not yours or your guild master's, knock that in your head before I do it for you and take your eyes off of them, if I were you, I won't try picking a fight right now," Nessa said and Yonja smirked as Nessa finished off her bottle of juice and the receptionist from her first day approached them.
"Good morning," She said.
"Ah, good morning," Nessa replied.
"What's going on here?" She asked.
"He is trying to pick a fight, she claimed the wolf after all," Yonja responded and the receptionist sighed.
"Please do not start a fight here; I will not allow you to bully anyone here; she will be speaking with the guild master; I recommend you stay out of other people's business," She said then he looked at her and she raised her right brow.
"Whatever, you will see what happens, she won't be able to hang on to them, they can be easily broken," He replied and Nessa gnashed her teeth while clenching her fists.
"Just so you know, I don't like people like him, if he intends to get in my way, I will break him," Nessa said and the receptionist smiled.
"Don't worry, just relax, he won't get in your way, for now, you guys will take your payment, then after that, Nessa alone will be going to meet the guild master in his office, got it?" She asked.
"Yeah, wait, he is already here?" Yonja asked.
"Yes, he has been here for a while now and he wishes to get this matter dealt with because he doesn't want any more problems, I understand why some are creating one as well, come on follow me for the money," She responded before walking away, then they got up and followed her to the counter.
