Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

Chapter 361 - Willian’s Resolve

-----

After having breakfast, Ervas and Veronica's group walked out of the manor, reaching the Merchant Guild, and getting into the second floor, where Willian waited for them with a smile…

??

"Lord Ervas, Lady Veronica!" said Willian rather happily.

"Oh, you're rather cheerful today, aren't you?" asked Veronica.

"Why yes! Look at my head!" said Willian, pointing at his head.

Ervas and Veronica glared at it, but they could not see any difference from yesterday.

"Eh? What?" asked Ervas.

"Please look closely! There is small little hair growing! I saw it!" said Willian, as Ervas used his greater vision and finally realized it.

Indeed, Willian's bald head was now growing with new, tiny hair, the hair seemed very colorful and healthy as well as if it were growing from a young teenager.

Veronica quickly noticed it afterward, as the two nodded.

"Oh yeah… I didn't know that the cream would work so fast…" said Veronica.

"I guess it is rather good then," said Ervas.

"It is magnificent in fact! And the wine was very good too!" said Willian.

"I am glad you liked our products, make sure to use them slowly, we still have not planned on selling them," said Veronica.

"I-I see…! I will make sure to treasure them!" said Willian, as he quickly took out more citizenship documents, then, he noticed that there were new people in here, those already registered were waiting outside the building, but new people such as Ragdaz, Pekorina, Pekoran, Acathea, Amelia, Mysticia, and Riaan were here.

"Y-You have brought… new people, I see…" said Willian.

"Yeah… they arrived… just today!" said Veronica.

"I see… well, can they show me the pass they used to enter?" asked Willian, as Veronica and Ervas glared at each other.

"Well… they got in… through the port, so they couldn't get it!" said Veronica.

"Eh? But I am sure that there are guards there as well to…" said Willian, as he was stopped by Ervas.

"There was… no one, we swear," said Ervas.

"Yeah," said Veronica.

Willian realized that they most likely got this person inside the city through another method… but he really did not want to interrogate those that brought him good materials and outstanding items that treated his baldness.

"I-I see, what a pity! Well, they can register anyways, I believe it should be fine," said Willian.

"Alright you guys know the drill," said Veronica.

"Rock, paper, and scissors until four wins," said Ervas.

The group nodded as they began to play the game until four of them were left.

Those were Gaius, Pekorina, Mysticia, and Ragdaz.

"Oh, finally my turn," said Gaius.

"A citizen? Really, peko?" asked Pekorina.

"Fufu, how fortunate," said Mysticia.

"What is even citizenship anyways?" asked Ragdaz confused.

The four quickly sat down and began to fill the papers… Gaius and Ragdaz hands were too big and could not manipulate the tiny pencils as easily as the rest, so Willian wrote things for them.

"Ragdaz… Bear-kin Beast-man… Occupation?" asked Willian.

"Tribe Chief!" said Ragdaz proudly.

"I-I see…" said Willian, without questioning anything.

"Gaius, Bear-kin Beast-man… Occupation?" asked Willian.

"Chef! I work at the restaurant in the Red-Light District," said Gaius.

"You… a bear-kin cooking?!" asked Willian.

"Um yes? What's the problem with that?" asked Gaius.

"My son is an amazing chef!" said Ragdaz, petting his son's muscular shoulders.

"Indeed, he is very good at cooking," said Ervas.

"Yeah, he cooked most of the food in our restaurant!" said Veronica.

"I see… (Such enormous paws and claws… and they are filled with fur! Wouldn't the food get all nasty?)" wondered Willian, without knowing that Ragdaz's' paws' were in fact metal, and the fur was just an illusion to make them look realistic, made of metallic thread.

"Err… Pek… Peko… Pekorina… Rabbit-kin… you're a child, right? Are you studying somewhere?" asked Willian.

"Studying? Ah… well… (I sometimes go to classes inside of the Igni Kingdom, but Ervas said I should keep that a secret…) No, I am not studying… Peko…" said Pekorina.

"I see… Well, if you're interested in studying alongside Lord Ervas, I can recommend you some good Schools, or even the Adventurer School," said Willian.

"Okay… thanks, peko," said Pekorina.

"Mysticia… Raccoon-kin, right? Occupation?" asked Willian.

"Tribe Chief, Malevolent Witch, Concoction Alchemist," said Mysticia.

"Malevolent Witch?" asked Willian.

"Oh yeah! Well… In my tribe, we all work forward to become an evil witch and…"

Mysticia kept babbling for ten minutes about her tribe's strange customs until Willian had enough.

"Okay, okay, I will register you as a… Alchemist," said Willian.

"Works for me, being a witch means that we should hide our identity as one too!" said Mysticia.

"Right… (These people are… really freaks…)" sighed Willian.

After a few more things, the citizenship registrations were done, and Ervas and Veronica decided to ask Willian some things regarding registering in other guilds.

"I see… so you want more recognition? Joining several guilds might be a good choice, as you will be able to forge more connections with people… And seeing how talented you two are, I am sure that you will be able to do a lot of outstanding things in the future," said Willian.

"Could there be a way… to register as Adventurers without registering our Status?" asked Ervas.

"We would… like to keep them a secret," said Veronica.

Ervas and Veronica did not want to reveal their status to the Adventurer Guild, as they were able to have both Ranks and Jobs, and many of their Jobs were also incredibly strange and would awake suspiciousness of who they truly were.

Because inside of the Adventurer Guilds of the Continent of Anir's Hands they registered new members by registering their status through a special appraising crystal ball, they wanted a way to avoid this.

"There should be an easy way out, as long as you show them that you're a VIP member of the Merchant Guild, you can register straight away through documents… (Although why do they want to hide their abilities…? Are they hiding something that they do not want people to see? But what?)" said Willian.

"That works, thanks a lot," said Veronica.

"Indeed, thanks," said Ervas.

"Thank you for attending my Lords, sir Willian," said Percy, who had come back to Seashore after taking a break inside the Igni Kingdom.

"Sure thing… Good luck!" said Willian, waving his hand as the colorful party left his room, peace taking ahold of his office once more.

"What a troublesome group… And they seem to have no intention of slowing down… I am sure they will keep bringing more and more people… are they some kind of underground organization?" wondered Willian.

"Well, no matter what, they bring too many good products and items… I cannot possibly lose a connection with them… And they also do not seem to be inherently malicious… unlike Vampires…" said Willian, he knew about Vampires but had tried his best to not meddle with them, thinking of Ervas and Veronica as better people to make connections and do business with. They also seemed rather strong, and none of the people there was weak at all, he could even employ them for protection if he manages to make himself useful enough for them…

"Maybe I should invite them to my house and have a small party to present them some merchants and aristocrats? Oh! If they bring some cream and more of that wine, I am sure that those old men would love them!" said Willian while sipping some more of that purple wine that Veronica brought to him, unaware that a tiny metallic fly was sitting near his desk, watching over him while connecting its vision to Veronica.

"I see, so he plans to invite us to a party, sounds nice," she said.

"Oh, he does? That might be pretty good, we can meet his family and other stuff," said Ervas.

"Yeah, he doesn't want to let us go… And he talked something about Vampires too, like the wolf guy," said Veronica.

"Is that so? It seems that these Vampires are really troublesome… they are most likely from the Chaotic Faction…" said Ervas.

"Then we should try to get rid of them?" asked Veronica.

"Not yet, let them come at us. I imagine that Allan has employed them already," said Ervas.

"Oh yeah, that old man, his spies ended up biting their tongues, so we had to brainwash them a bit to talk… after you healed their tongues," said Veronica.

"Vampires, huh? Not friendly Vampires? I thought because they were Demons…" said Alesia.

"Nope, these guys are quite vicious, not at all like the sweet Lilith and her sisters," said Ervas.

"Aw, Ervas-sama, am I sweet? It makes me happy that you think that!" said Lilith.

"I don't think they're all that sweet…" said Leonidas.

"What did you say, your mass of muscles?!" roared Lilith, glancing at Leonidas while baring her fangs!

"I told ya…" said Leonidas unaffected.

"Anyways, for now, let's just keep doing what we came here for, and let us handle things as they come…" said Ervas.

"Of course, that doesn't mean that we won't prepare," said Veronica.

"We have, in fact, prepared a lot, and we'll keep preparing some more," said Ervas.

"I can't wait to catch a Vampire!" said Amelia.

"I don't think that's a good thing to look forwards to, my daughter…" said Ismene.

"Is that so?" asked Amelia confusedly.

"Well… if they were not from the Chaotic Faction, I would try to make them our allies… but the Chaotic Faction is… well, chaotic. They are Vampires that are closer to actual monsters than to Demons or people… They had embraced their vampiric instincts too deeply…" sighed Ervas.

"Yeah… But let's try though, we don't lose anything trying to convince some. Like animals, if they are intimidated enough, they might give in," said Veronica.

"Yeah, let's not slaughter them completely," said Ervas.

"Completely…?" asked Jason.

"We might slaughter a few…" said Ervas.
