Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 37: Hooray for a Two-Person Barbecue Party!

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Hooray for a Two-Person Barbecue Party!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Today’s blonde girl doesn’t have ice cream, with a pair of straight long white legs peeking out from under her skirt.

No matter where they are, the Elf Race is always the focus, especially now with a stunningly beautiful elf paired with a villager, this combination attracted quite a few onlookers.

The interior of the building where the Adventurer Guild is located is lavishly decorated. A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling of the lobby, where the space has been planned and divided into sections—a bar area for adventurers to rest, a reception area for adventurers to take on tasks... The varied area divisions and the noisy sound levels made Shami dizzy for a moment.

Reception Desk.

"Honored elf lady, is there anything I can help you with?"

Behind the counter at the reception desk, the female attendant in a low-cut top respectfully asked.

Lureya, following Shami’s instructions, first went to the wanted notice area upon entering and took down the notice for Cash.

Now, she directly placed Cash’s wanted notice in front of the busty female attendant at the reception desk.

"This is..."

"The fugitive wanted by your Adventurer Guild. I happened to encounter a certain swordsman plotting to invade a village nearby yesterday, and after helping the villagers solve it, I found out today that it was someone you were looking for."

Lureya said, handing over the adventurer’s certificate she found from Cash’s Spatial Ring.

The attendant touched it with both hands, glanced at it, and became even more respectful.

"Miss Elf, please wait a moment, I need to get the Guild Master to handle such matters."

The female attendant hurried away and soon returned with a man in a suit with slicked-back hair and a white beard.

"Honored elf lady, please come to our meeting room for a detailed discussion."

Lureya glanced at Shami, not far behind her.

Shami nodded.

She followed them inside.

About half an hour later, Lureya came out of the meeting room, accompanied by the suited man and several attendants.

When adventurers register with the Adventurer Guild, a file with their identity information is left at the guild. Based on the files, the identity of the headless swordsman Cash was quickly confirmed.

Since it was already a corpse, the Adventurer Guild could only release a bounty of 3,000 gold coins to Lureya.

The process of claiming the reward was actually completed in ten minutes.

The remaining twenty minutes were spent with guild personnel inviting the blonde elf to become a member of the Adventurer Guild. They said a simple registration was all that was needed, and there would be no performance evaluations each month. She could receive a monthly elf benefit of 50 gold coins and a year-end title of special-grade adventurer.

In return, Lureya needed to allow them to take an adventurer photograph to be hung in the center of the Gothic-style building’s lobby for publicity.

Even though she could gain so much without doing anything, Lureya eventually declined this olive branch.

She was only there to claim a reward, and half of what she said was lines prepared by Shami; she was completely uninterested in what the place had to offer.

After leaving the meeting room, Lureya wasn’t able to find Shami for a while. After waiting for five minutes at the agreed spot, Shami walked back from outside the door.

"All set?" freёweɓnovel.com

"Mm... Got it all..." Lureya nodded as a matter of course: "As per your request, I wanted everything in physical form, which is now stored in my Storage Space."

"That’s good. Let’s head back."

Shami nodded in satisfaction, turned, and left the Adventurer Guild with Lureya.

"Where did you go just now?"

Lureya matched Shami’s pace, unable to resist asking.

"I went to the market to sell Cash’s sword, equipment, Spatial Ring, and such. Although the prices were suppressed due to the villager status, it still wasn’t bad overall—we gained 69 gold coins."

"I see... But, is it really okay? Letting me take the honor alone. You did some work too."

"Of course, it’s fine. In the public eye, you’re the most credible candidate for killing Cash. Moreover, as a villager, being overly noticed isn’t a good thing." Shami glanced at the flat-chested golden retriever.

Isn’t it because you’re the Demon King...

Lureya inwardly retorted.

Shami walked straight toward the city gate.

"Eh? Going straight back?"

"Yes."

"Oh..." Lureya hesitated for a moment and pointed to the side of the main road: "Well, now that we have so much money, maybe we can hang out in the city for a while, have a nice meal, and then go back?"

Shami stopped and looked at the flat-chested golden retriever whose eyes were already sparkling with anticipation.

"Teammates, right? We’re teammates, after all. It’s normal to celebrate a bit after defeating the boss, right?"

"Do you want to?"

"Eh...?"

Lureya blinked awkwardly, already sensing a bad vibe.

Shami was always like this, highly goal-oriented on the two sorties; completing the task meant leaving immediately, never lingering in Eden City for a moment longer. She knew that Shami was very likely not to agree to this.

If Shami left her alone here and went back by himself, it would take her one to two hours of flying without a Teleportation Gate to get back to Yili Village from Eden City.

Besides, what fun is a victory banquet with only one person...

"I was just saying..."

"We’ll come again next time. Or I can go back first, and you can spend some time here. I need to check on the slimes today."

Sure enough, Shami’s words were anticipated by the blonde girl.

"Well, I’m not that interested either, let’s go back..."

Lureya shrugged.

The trip continued in silence.

Lureya gradually felt a growing sense of indescribable disappointment, and her mood worsened.

The pretty boy doesn’t consider me a teammate at all! We’ve already faced life-and-death situations together... Were we not even going to have a team-building victory banquet, you jerk!...

The two arrived at the woods outside Eden City and used the Teleportation Gate to return to a wooded area outside Yili Village.

Noticing the slight deviation in the landing spot, Lureya, who was immersed in low spirits, muttered curiously.

"Weren’t we going to the maple forest?"

"I cleaned it up only yesterday, there might still be traces of blood and battle smells. It would affect the taste of the ingredients and the mood if we make barbecue there."

Shami glanced around; this place was five kilometers away from the village, an area less frequented by villagers. Beside it was a clean small lake, perfect for camping.

He took out charcoal and tools needed for a barbecue from the Demon King Ring.

"Eh eh eh?!!!"

Lureya’s sudden scream startled many birds around them.

Shami was taken aback, looking over in surprise.

"Why are you shouting so loudly? If you attract villagers, you’ll just have to gnaw on fruits."

The blonde girl clenched her fists tightly at her sides, and on her small face, those eyes that quickly flashed from extreme disappointment to extreme excitement seemed covered with a layer of tearful mist of joy, shimmering as she fixedly stared at Shami.

"Barbecue...?"

"Yes." Shami, unaware of what was going on with the flat-chested golden retriever, said: "I had mentioned it, during the fight with Cash."

Lureya recalled carefully.

It did seem to be true.

During that intense battle, Shami seemed to have told her something like "I’ll make you barbecue when we get back."

But she fully thought it was just something said to boost morale!!

So there’s actually a victory party?!

Hooray!!!
