Boom! The guild door swung open violently. What came in was a shabby man covered in sweat.

    For a moment, the people inside the guild froze, but after confirming who it was, they returned to their daily lives.

    Hahaha! Drink, drink! Today, too, in the midst of people drinking happily, Glenn, covered in sweat, quickly rolled his eyes. Finally, he found someone.

    “Graaaa …

    “Wow??”

    “What, what is that loud noise!”

    “Hey, what a surprise! Did you boil the furnace or something!”

    Glenn quickly passed by the adventurers who were startled and dumbfounded by the loud noise. What just passed by? Before people could even confirm what had passed by, Glenn was caught up in a man who was drinking and hanging out with women.

    Grimes frowned at first, thinking, ‘What a man,’ but then let out a pathetic, terrified sound.

    “Hee, heeek!!!”

    “Grimes! Me, me, me, me!”

    “What, what! I don’t know what it is… but I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Please save me. Glenn! I won’t talk dirty to you and the saintess again. I won’t. I won’t do it again! So please!”

    “Oh my, who is it? It’s cute Glenn?”

    “This guy. I should call him Glenn Oppa. He’s a high-level adventurer. He’s older than us. ”

    “That’s right. Hehe, how’s Glenn?”

    “You, you guys don’t call me oppa… No, no! I’m sorry. I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! ”

    Glenn grabs Grimes by the collar without warning. Three beauties laugh at Glenn. And Grimes, who is holding onto him by the collar and squeezing out tears, pleads. It’s a mess.

    It was a guild no different than usual, but today there was something unusual. Briwen, who was watching from afar, felt and thought so.

    ‘Why does he only act like that when I’m around?’

    “Hot, what should I…I’ll calm down. Let’s calm down. Calm down…”

    Only then did Glenn realize what he had done and naturally sat down next to Grimes. Then, the three beautiful adventurers who had been sitting with Grimes, Frantin, Molly, and Bella, exchanged glances. It was an unspoken agreement to switch partners from Grimes to Glenn.

    And the three moved.

    “Oh my, Glenn. What have you been doing to be so sweaty? Here, a cold drink.”

    “Oh, Frantin. Thanks.”

    “Wow, you remembered my name? I’m so happy~”

    “Oh my goodness. Your face is completely covered in sweat. Here, here’s a handkerchief I embroidered myself. Should I wipe it off?”

    “Oh, yeah. Thanks, Molly. Sorry.”

    “And you remember my name too? You’re cool, oppa.”

    “What happened, Glenn? You look so desperate. You came at me so aggressively. You’re awesome.”

    “Oh, but. Bella. I think Grimes can handle this better than you guys…”

    “Haha, I almost forgot my name. What do you know, Glenn?”

    Before long, the three beauties were huddled around Glenn, giving him drinks, wiping his sweat, patting his hair, and doing all sorts of things for him. They also knew that Glenn was a slut. However, Glenn was a bit different from other sluts who were weak towards women. He just felt uncomfortable being around women, and he didn’t show much interest in them.

    He rarely joins drinking parties, and especially when Grimes is with women, he never joins, which causes regret among many women. In addition, if he takes off his glasses, he looks quite young, so people who know how to look closely call him a hidden gem. If only he took off his glasses.

    Here, the beauties felt a strange sense of affection towards Glenn, who was drinking beverages and expressing his gratitude to the three men, despite being shorter than his peers. If I were to describe that affection in words… it was cuteness. A 26-year-old man could be this cute.

    That bright and innocent face and eyes. Although there was a bit of burden, it was clear that he was genuinely grateful to the three people. Also, although Glenn was not very friendly, he was a very generous person who readily offered a helping hand to adventurers when they asked for help.

    In the adventurer’s guild where all sorts of weirdos gather, there really wasn’t a man who was both a high-level adventurer and so pure. It was obvious just by looking at Grimes next to him.

    “Oh, this isn’t the time. Hey Grimes! You’re good with women!”

    “Oh, huh? What? What did you just say…”

    “That’s not the time. Are you good at it, or not? How to treat women, or how to go on dates with women. Don’t say no. Okay? ”

    To Glenn’s strange words and pressure, Grimes felt reluctant to say ‘yes’ even though she could easily do so. If she said yes, she felt like she would get into a huge trouble.

    As Glenn was growing increasingly frustrated with the mumbling Grimes, the Savior spoke to him from the side.

    “Oh my, Glenn. We’re right here. You’re talking about another woman?”

    “Huh?”

    “Oh, that’s too much, Glenn. You even touched my face and helped me with my hardships. Was there someone else in your heart? I’m sad.”

    “Ah, our innocent Glenn oppa thinks of another woman while leaving us behind. I think the world really is this crazy.”

    “Uh, uh, uh…”

    In an instant, the mugwort was caught up in it.

    There was no way he could win against these women’s attacks, which were not attacks. Even a guy like Grimes would get caught in something like this, but there was no way Glenn, who had never dated a woman, could escape. So, he had no choice but to fumble around like a husband who had been caught cheating.

    “Ah, that. I’m not ignoring you or anything. No, actually, since I just got here, maybe I’m ignoring you and not being honest? Of course, I’ve known you guys for a long time…but I’ve only seen you drinking with Grimes from afar…so I knew you guys first, but our relationship isn’t that deep…Ugh, what am I talking about. Sorry.”

    Nonsense. In fact, the drink was slightly alcoholic. Glenn, who was slightly drunk due to his haste, continued to babble, and in the end, all that was left were the three beauties who were chattering and saying that Glenn was cute, Grimes who was becoming increasingly disheartened by his indifference, and the adventurers who were laughing at the sight.

    There was only one person who had a hard time seeing that sight until the end.

    “I can’t stand to see that.”

    Briwen decided to intervene again, just as she had done last time, but this time she decided to use more drastic measures.

    After walking slowly, she stood behind Glenn. Then she lowered her hand. Then she raised it. One person was caught. The three beauties watched it absentmindedly.

    Of course, the person involved could not hold back his anger.

    “Ugh, what, what! Briwen! Do you think I’m some kind of cat!”

    “If you’re a horny cat, you look similar. Didn’t Grimes have some business to do?”

    “Well, that’s true, but that kid is like that… Get him down quickly!”

    “Wow, Glenn oppa. You can lift it with one hand?”

    “Haha, Briwen is seriously strong among female adventurers, no, even compared to male adventurers. Mainly due to her evil powers.”

    “Oh my, Glenn oppa. One handed, shoo, hoo…so cute.”

    “Ugh, ugh! Come down quickly, Briwen!”

    Sighing, Briwen put him down. How did the guy she once considered her rival end up like this? Well, it was better than the gloomy atmosphere every day like two or three months ago…

    Why are you angry? Your anger made Briwen’s words sting.

    “Suddenly doing something he never did before. Does he think he’s some kind of popular guy after meeting Lady Glen? What, did the Lady ask him out on a date? He was acting all sassy last time too.”

    Given the harsh words, Briwen expected a violent reaction.

    What, what. Don’t have those delusions again. What do you think of me as!

    “It’ll probably come out something like this,” Briwen thought, waiting for a response.

    But. Silence. Glenn was silent. No, when I glanced at him, his cheeks were flushed. What, what. Was it because of the alcohol he just drank? It didn’t look like it.

    Glenn says shyly, scratching the glass in his hand with his fingers.

    “Oh, how did you know? I didn’t even say it out loud…”

    “Huh?”

    “Uh…”

    “What, what, what…”

    “What are you saying???”

    In an instant, all the adventurers who had heard the confirmation cried out in shock.

    Next to the shock was the physical reaction. Immediately, Grimes was the fastest again. He revived in an instant, and slid through the stunned Frantin, Molly, Bella, and Briwen, and grabbed Glenn.

    “Glen! Are you delusional again? This is a date now? Are you confusing it with training again? We proved it clearly before! That’s not a date…”

    “It’s a date, you idiot! I told you to come to the mansion tomorrow morning! I told you to come tomorrow morning, fully prepared! In fact, training ends today, so there’s nothing left! ”

    “What, what! Wait a minute… It’s not a delusion, is it? I told you last time that this guy was mistaken… So you’re not mistaken again… Are you? No way, no way this is real… Why is this real… There’s no way… Glenn… Glenn… Oh my, the day our Glenn becomes a bachelor is approaching! Oh my, Mom, Dad! ”

    “Stop talking so loudly and disrespectfully, you idiot!”

    Glenn protested loudly, but the people around him came first.

    “What, what. Glenn! Is this real? This isn’t a mistake?”

    “I’m jealous, I’m jealous. I’m really jealous, Glenn!”

    “It should have been tied up back then. Let’s resume the execution now. Your Honor!”

    “Well, I can’t handle this reality! I’m single, so I’ll choose death!”

    “Because there are too many captains, the boat ends up in the mountains…”

    Briwen quipped, quoting an old Elven proverb. It’s annoying, but nothing can be done in this mess. She approached Glenn. She placed a hand on Glenn’s head.

    Kwaaak. It was an incredible force. Glenn groaned in pain and protested against such force.

    “Aya! What the heck, Briwen! What violence again!”

    “So. Our little guy grabbed his friend by the collar like a rat to show off? How carefree.”

    “No, that’s not it! It’s just…this is my first time doing something like this. I don’t know how to prepare…let me go, honey!”

    Glenn was about to object, but then lowered his head and muttered like a boy in puberty. Briwen sighed, glad to see Glenn as a child after such a long time.

    There was a time when I saw something like this before. Five years ago. It was Briwen’s birthday.

    ‘What, Glenn? You came to me first. I’m glad. One more round?’

    ‘That’s not it. You brawler! That, that’s…’

    ‘What? No? Then why did you come? You must be bored.’

    ‘I vaguely heard that tomorrow is your birthday…’

    ‘Why? Are you going to take care of it?’

    “Ugh, oh my! I’m not used to this kind of thing! Here, take it!’

    ‘Hey, a headband?’

    ‘Yes, your old one fell over when you fought the monster last time and it broke. No, no! Hansk said it was broken. So, without it, your hair would fly and it would be annoying in many ways… Why, are you looking at me like that? ”

    ‘Hmm. I knew you could do this. For a moment, I thought you were a monster in Glenn’s disguise.’

    ‘You’re being rude!’

    But today, you’re acting that way because of someone else.

    At that moment, he gritted his teeth. However, he absolutely must not show it. If this guy finds out about his hidden feelings…

    I hate to bring up elven pride, but I really felt like something inside me was going to crumble. So, I spoke as calmly as I could.

    “Wow. You’re consulting me about your worries while preparing to go on a date. If the other golden adventurers heard about it, they’d come running right away.”

    “Why are you suddenly dragging those guys in!”

    “Anyway, there’s someone better at giving advice than Grimes on that subject. You’re lucky, Glenn. ”

    “Who will do it for me? Who is it?”

    Glenn asked, looking at Briwen with a blank stare. Briwen frowned at the look in his eyes that was purely questioning.

    What is this look? When did I ever show myself this look? I can’t even remember.

    Even when he was a boy, he was always fighting with me, so every day, he would have seriousness or annoyance in his eyes. Even recently, after that incident, he always showed me a dull and decadent look. Now, now…

    “Come to my room tomorrow morning. Dress in your best outfit. Then.”

    Suddenly, an emotion that was hard to bear came over her, and Briwen declared as she turned around. She then went up to the second floor. As Briwen quickly walked up to the second floor, Glenn had the urge to ask her something.

    “Uh, uh, Briwen. Wait-”

    “Hey, hey, hey! Glenn, Glenn, Glenn! You’ve become a whole new person after getting coaching from Briwen. Alright, to celebrate, I’ll pay today! Pour it, drink it! ”

    “Wow!”

    “Mr. Grimes… no, oppa. You’re awesome!”

    “Glenn rarely does this, so it’s nice to celebrate. Cheers!”

    “Oh, should I be happy? Anyway, since you’re shooting, cheers!”

    “Cheers! Drink, drink!”

    “Okay, wait a minute! Tomorrow I…woof!”

    “You drink too, Emma!”

    The first floor of the guild where Briwen had disappeared began to run wild like a calf that had been freed from its shackles. With his glass slammed into his mouth and his arms still held by the women who were not letting him go, Glenn muttered the questions that were coming to his mind with difficulty.

    ‘That Briwen… why did you look so pitiful… could it be that you feel sorry for the saintess who meets a guy like me? No, no! Then why did you ask me to come to you! Perhaps, to make the saintess realize that I don’t suit her? Wait, then the reason why I told you to come dressed nicely becomes strange…’

    “Drink more, Glenn. I’ll pay!”

    “Wow, whoa! That Grimes!”

    However, before he could lose himself in his thoughts any longer, Glenn was swept away by the waves of alcohol. Today, too, the Adventurer’s Guild was bustling.

    It was the most tumultuous night before the great incident that occurred seven days later.
