Adventures Of A Goblin

"the guild master has been awaiting your arrival".

The adventurer who stood very close to Dexter answered his curiosity.

"okay guys, I appreciate your efforts and all, but I have to go now. You heard the man, the guild master is expecting my arrival".

"you all know how hot tempered the guild master can be if one does not answer to a summon fast?".

The adventurers were well aware of what Dexter was talking about, and so they made way for him to pass.

Dexter with Dana, walked over to the receptionist's desk.

"Anna, how have you been".

He got over to the desk, and called out to the lady dressed in purple colored shirt, with the upper part unbuttoned, revealing her white bra with half the bountiful supplements packaged in the bra.

"looking sexy as always I see".

Dexter's eyes were immediately transferred to her cleavage, his mouth almost drooling.

"and I see you are as creepy as always".

Anna replied as she raised her hand and extended her palms to cover her breast with, away from the salivating eyes of Dexter.

"do you not have to go upstairs to meet with the guild master, instead of wasting your time with me".

"a time with you, is never a wasted time for me Anna".

He tried cozying up to her by sending her heart shaped kisses which she ignored.

"what do you want from me Dexter".

She asked, knowing Dexter's reasons for being so loving toward her could be tied to him wanting a favor from her.

"what makes you think I want something from you? Can't a man just want to get lovey dovey with a woman as beautiful as you are".

"did going to Edevin screw with your mind".

"if you mean, me being more open to the possibility of a date with you? Then sure it did".

"DEXTERRR...."

Her loud voice, and her tone strongly rejecting Dexter's approach.

"hey Dexter, do not anger our angelic Anna unless you want us to come over there and give you some whooping".

One of the adventurer spoke up from his seat, jokingly warning Dexter to cease his approach on Anna.

"got it guys".

Dexter turned over to the adventurers who had called out to him, and he raised his hand, signifying that he would listen to their words.

"if you have nothing more to say, you can head upstairs now, the guild master has been expecting you".

"you sure do want me gone quick, do you not?".

"if it is that obvious, why are you still here".

"no need to get all grumpy with me. I will be gone in a sec, but first I need your help".

"i knew this is where your whole charade was going to lead to. So, what do you want from me".

"i want you, to help me register this little one as an adventurer".

Dexter pointed to Dana, indicating to Anna who he is referring to.

"no problem, she just needs to fill out the form and pass some tests, then she will be good to go".

"except there is one problem with that, she is ten".

She had her eyes focused on Dexter with not a muscle of her moving.

"you want me to register a ten year old as an adventurer?".

Anna said, twitching her eyebrow in disbelief at the request Dexter had just asked of her.

"have you gone mad".

"listen to me first before you start concluding. I know how ridiculous my request sounds, but I have a very good reason for making such request in the first place".

"ridiculous? This is beyond ridiculous Dexter. Do you have any idea what you are asking of me? Registering a ten year old as an adventurer".

Dexter more than anyone, knows how insane his request is, and the backlash that comes with it.

The adventurers age registration limit is fourteen and above, asking Anna for help in registering a ten year old, is telling her to go against the guild's code of conduct.

If she were to fulfill his request and ends up getting caught by the guild, not only will she lose her job as a receptionist, she could even go to jail for it, and also be banned from ever getting work in any guild's branch ever again.

As an A rank adventurer, Dexter is aware of all the punishment that comes with breaking one of the guild's rule, especially the ones emphasis are placed on the most.

Despite knowing all that, he still went ahead to make the nonsensical request to Anna, which made her wonder what was going on with him, and what made him desperate enough to want to risk her own source of livelihood for it.

"believe me Anna, she is not some kind of ten year old you can come across anywhere, she is special".

"and so are the rules. I don't know what is going on with you, but you trying to risk my job for the sake of pleasing you, is not something I am ready to do".

"i am not asking you to please me. All I am asking, is that you register her under a false age, I can assure you that no one will ever find out about it".

"you are wasting your time trying to convince me Dexter. There is no way I will ever listen to you. What if her arents or any relative member comes looking for her? Or what if she gets tangled up in a situation with the guild and she is forced to reveal what her age is then? What do you think is going to happen to me if that ever happens".

"hold on there Anna, you are taking your what if too far and too imaginative. You don't have to bring up all sorts of what if, when you can just focus only on one".

"ho yeah, and what's that?".

"what if, you register her, and nobody else finds out about it, then she becomes a bigshot adventurer in the future and pays you back for the favor you have done for her today? Did you think about that".

Says Dexter, proudly winking at Anna while exuding out his positivity toward her.
