Looking at Hayata's expression, Gordon knew that she must have listened, so he stopped talking and the two of them continued to walk towards the task counter.
Behind the task counter stood two waitress girls wearing uniforms of different colors, one in goose yellow and the other in bright green.
They were busy processing some documents, so they did not notice the hunters coming here for the first time. However, when the hunters came close enough, the two poster girls still raised their heads reflexively. Bow politely.
Gordon and Hayata exchanged glances, and they both saw a little "funny" look in each other's eyes.
"It seems that the guild in Micheng is really short of manpower."
Gordon chuckled and joked: "Even you, a salty fish, can actually be promoted, Tikki?"
"Huh?"
Tiggy, who was wearing a goose-yellow uniform, raised her head and said, "Gordon? It's you, and you're back too? Ah! So you're talking about pork chop!"
Ti Ji stuck her head out of the counter and looked around, but the pork chop had already disappeared.
The poster girl at the Minagarde Hunter Assembly Hall is very particular about the color of her uniform.
Those in light green uniforms are generally young newcomers, while those in goose yellow uniforms are "veterans" who can receive high-level hunters and handle certain ancient dragon-related matters.
Until last year, when Gordon took Feng Ying and the others away from Minagard, Tiggy had always been "green". At the same time, there was a gentle and calm senior saleswoman named Madge who was responsible for the upper-level business. ,
But now, Madge is gone, the goose-yellow uniform has fallen on Tiggy, and the one wearing the green uniform is a thin, small girl wearing glasses who looks like she is not yet underage.
Hayata, who was more than a head taller than her, was greeting her with a smile, "Little Nellie, long time no see, you are so big now."
It seems that this is Ms. Mapel's daughter, Hayata's future sister, Gordon thought to himself.
The little poster girl named Nellie looked dumbfounded. After Hayata greeted her, it took several seconds for her to react and cheered, "It's Sister Hayata!"
"And I! I am Hayata's hunting partner, Xianglan Meow! You can also call me Xianglan Sister Meow!" Xianglan climbed onto the counter, raised her head and chest, trying to look more mature.
"Eh?"
Before the dumbfounded Nellie had time to react, Panlan was scooped into Ti Ji's arms and rubbed.
"Ah——! What a cute little kitten! Cuter than pork chop!"
"Meow meow meow?!"
"You're looking for death, meow." Pork Chop muttered in a low voice, leaning against the bottom of the counter and using the blind spot to avoid Ti Ji's sight.
Looking at the messy task counter, Gordon suddenly missed the sales girl named Madge.
At that time, under the supervision of that senior, Tiji didn't dare to be too blatant. Now that she has become a senior and has a weak newcomer, she seems to have let herself go.
Just as Gordon was thinking this, he suddenly saw Ti Ji let go of Xiang Lan. Although her face was full of reluctance, she still straightened her uniform and said, "Okay, okay, let's play after get off work, now let's get down to business!" "
"You actually know how to get down to business first?" Gordon couldn't help but look at Tiggy again.
"Hey! What do you mean!" Ti Ji put her hands on her hips dissatisfied, "How do you think I got promoted? By being lazy?"
"Ms. March gives way?" Gordon joked.
Ti Ji choked, and her tone lost two points of confidence, "Although Senior Ma Qi is indeed married and has children, is this the point?"
"Tikki-senpai is actually very serious."
Nellie, the bride's poster girl, spoke softly to defend Tiggy, "Although sometimes I get distracted and sometimes doze off, most of the time I'm still very, very serious, right?"
"... Next time you say something nice for me, you can be more confident."
"Okay, okay." Nellie nodded weakly.
Tiji looked helpless and looked at Gordon again, "Let's not gossip for now, Gordon, and Hayata, are you coming back this time to participate in the defense operation?"
"Um."
"Yes."
Seeing that Tiggy was in working mode, Gordon stopped joking, and the two responded one after another.
"Thank you very much for being able to come back at this time."
Tiji bowed slightly with Nellie, and then took out a special file book, "Did you two receive the order from the guild and come to support, or did you voluntarily participate in this defense operation?
Ah, it doesn't mean anything else, it's just that the guild needs to confirm the presence of the designated hunter under the 'emergency declaration'. "
"I received the order from the guild in Bernard Village." Gordon nodded in understanding.
Hayata said from the side: "I came back voluntarily after hearing about this incident in the Western Continent."
"Ah? So you two didn't come together?"
Ti Ji's face was full of surprise, "Sir Yamos was still yelling around when he was drunk, saying that Gordon had taken Hayata away. Is this a breakup?"
"Sister...brother-in-law?!" Nellie was shocked.
Gordon's head was full of questions, and Hayata's face turned red. She slapped the counter hard, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hee~"
Ti Ji, who was peeping intermittently, laughed, "Okay, okay, let's get back to the topic. Gordon received the order, right? Let me check the list, Gordon, Gordon...
Ah, I found it, Six-Star Great Swordsman Gordon... How come you are already a high-ranking hunter? ! "
Tiggy looked like she had seen a ghost.
Gordon shrugged, "All kinds of stuff happened."
Tiji had a complicated look on her face. She carefully checked the hunter notes of the two of them and found that Hayata not only had five stars, but also had records of fighting ancient dragons several times. She pondered for a moment.
"Wait a minute, you two. I need to ask Madam President about something." After saying that, he quickly left the counter and headed to the second floor where the President's office is located.
Nellie looked at Hayata with bright eyes. She had always admired the latter since she was a child, and now, her admiration continued to increase.
Just when Hayata felt a little unbearable, Tiji finally came back. She came to the two of them and said, "The president asked you to come up and talk about the task arrangements."
"Okay, let's go up now." Hayata smiled slightly stiffly at Nellie, then quickly left the counter and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
Gordon knew that she was following Nellie in a funny way to escape Nellie's overly eager gaze.
The Madam President's office was still in its original location. Gordon and the others, who had been there more than once, could not go wrong. They walked to the door of the office in a familiar way and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Gordon and Hayata pushed open the door and entered.
Sitting in the office at this time was not only the president, Fan, but also several hunters.
Most of them were familiar to Gordon, but a few were relatively unfamiliar. Judging from their equipment, they should be the high-ranking hunters participating in this defensive operation.
Like a bald man who winked at them.
Another example is Yamos, whose brows are furrowed and his eyes are constantly wandering between Hayata and the president. He seems to be a little dissatisfied.
Hayata made a face at him.
She didn't need to guess what Master Yamos was thinking. He just felt that she wasn't strong enough and shouldn't get involved.
Sure enough, Yamos spoke, "President, Hayata is not a high-ranking hunter yet."
"I know."
Ms. Fanshi glanced at Yamos, "But she already has the strength to be regarded as 'combat power'."
