Chapter 23 - Chapter 23- Problem with huge men

"Search up organ restoring pills," the man didn't directly answer Kishio's question, but gave him a reason to reconsider the offer.

Kishio's gaze remained firmly locked in place with the man's, it seemed the man wasn't going to say anything more.

"Mmm" Kishio gave a small grunt, before turning to leave.

Yue waved the man goodbye before trailing behind Kishio.

"So are you taking me to the water park now?" Kishio heard Yue say and his eyes twitched, but he couldn't afford another chase after the little mischief goddess.

Thinking back to the three Yue-sized footprints, he couldn't help but ask "Yue, how did you manage to do it back there?"

Yue looked at Kishio as they walked, she appeared confused for a while until her mind registered what Kishio was asking about.

"Does big brother want to know?" She replied to his question with one of her own and Kishio couldn't help but nod.

He indeed wanted to know.

"Take me to the water park first," Yue suddenly said, looking away from Kishio and pouting her mouth and Kishio couldn't help but let out a sigh.

He really couldn't even if he wanted to.

"Yue," Kishio called out as he stopped to look at Yue, he bent a bit patting her on the head, his mind flashed as he recalled this was exactly how it had happened few minutes ago before she took off running, he couldn't help but have a bad feeling about it.

Kishio gulped subconsciously before suggesting "How about I take you somewhere more interesting?"

Yue couldn't help but look back to her big brother. Her curiosity truly piqued.

"Where?" She asked, trying to feign disinterest, but her tone gave it away easily.

Truly he had been in this world for less than two weeks but there was one place he had in mind that he knew Yue would like.

As she had always been a girl after adventure and he suspected she was starting to develop her parasite abilities.

"Wooww!" Yue exclaimed, her eyes wide open and glued to the building in front of them. Where Kishio had taken her?

To the living spring guild.

And as he expected, she was mesmerized just by how large it was from the outside.

The duo walked into the building, and for a second Yue froze, her mind taking in all the sights.

From adventurers at the mission's board to equipment used by adventurers to train, the different gear and weapons she could spot.

Her finger just couldn't stop pointing about, as a parasite holder, it was not uncommon to thrive adventures.

Kishio had only brought her here for sightseeing though, he didn't plan on taking any quest or joining any party.

"Kishio?" He turned around hearing someone call out his name.

He could spot a short red-haired girl with a quiver of arrows behind her back and a bow in her hands.

"Sasha," Kishio searched his memory before calling out, he almost couldn't remember the woman's name, but he recalled her to be the team's healer from the last dungeon raid.

"Are you also here to pick up a side quest?" Sasha asked, thinking Kishio was here for the same purpose as her.

Kishio thought for a while, but he immediately came to a conclusion, that they were a team doesn't mean all their raids would be together.

Someone might be in dire need of money, or just after adventure and they can decide to go to the guild to pick up a quest or join another party temporarily.

Especially healers as they were often crucial in dungeon raids, and Sasha being a healer–it wasn't impossible for many other parties to want her.

She could have her own motives for picking up quests though.

Kishio shook his head in response to her question, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Last they had met, she had suggested walking him home, but they were interrupted by the guildmaster. Looking at him now, he seemed different.

"Uhm, you seem to be better now right?" She asked again and Kishio nodded in response.

The moment went from cringe to awkward in just a few exchanges.

'Is he dumb or something? Can't he just open his mouth and say something?' Sasha thought. Her skin was crawling as the awkward air seemed to be biting at her.

She had been the one to initiate the conversation but at least he could say something to keep it going.

If only she could just hide under a rock at that moment.

"Why are you here then?" She posed a different question, unwilling to just walk away like that.

Kishio finally opened his mouth to reply to the question, "I'm here with my little sister."

Turning his head to his side, he intended to introduce Yue when his heart skipped a beat, she wasn't there.

He immediately became alert as he turned around his eyes searching for any trace of the little girl.

"Who's brought a child here?" A loud gruff voice echoed round the receptionist and quest board area.

Kishio turned his gaze over to the quest area and could see a huge man holding a little girl up by her collar.

Her frail legs were wiggling as she tried to escape the man's hold, but it was impossible.

Multiple eyes had already turned to watch what the commotion was about.

"A child?"

"A child to a guild. What does this place look like?"

"Seems the guild isn't just declining but also transforming into a playpen."

The voices of many echoed each commenting their thoughts.

Kishio walked forward slowly before stopping some feet away from the huge gruff man.

'What is it with encountering huge men today?' he scoffed internally, a kind of annoyance growing towards them, did they think they could do whatever they liked because of their size.

"Place her down," Kishio said, his tone anything but polite.
