"Hmm... I remember it seems to be coming from this direction?"
After wandering along the direction in his memory for a while, Gaia didn't find a building that was similar to what he had imagined and that was powerful enough to be crowded with people.
Did you remember the wrong location? It shouldn't be, it's all nano-robots assisting memory, it would be too embarrassing to be able to remember things like this.
Just when Gaia was doubting herself, a lazy and familiar voice came from the street:
"Hey, you're so slow, Gaia. I've already called people here, but you're still hanging around the door? Didn't you say you wanted to inquire about something before?"
Hearing this voice, Gaia turned her head and saw Shamis standing against the wooden door of a tavern. Seeing that Gaia had noticed him, he swayed and raised the glass of wine in his hand:
"Or do you want to take advantage of this moment to run out? Don't think about it. I have already greeted the people guarding the city gate, and I will never let you out easily."
If you really want to go out, you won't be able to find me. If you get anxious, you can give up your self-esteem and find a toilet to sneak out.
Silently complaining in his heart, Gaia smiled kindly at Shamis:
"It's nothing, I just saw a lot of excitement on the way here and wasted some time."
Shamis was a little curious about the excitement in Gaia's mouth:
"Oh? What's going on?"
However, when Shamis asked, Gaia's smile suddenly became a little stiff:
"Although people's XP is free, I think some people should still see a doctor."
Shamis: "?"
"No, it's nothing."
Holding her forehead and sighing, Gaia stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction she came from:
"The person has been taken away by your patrol team. If you really want to know, ask your colleagues when you go back. I guarantee it will be an eye-opener for you."
"Ah."
Shamis sneered and took a sip of wine. Shamis was not interested in this:
"Let me tell you, don't underestimate the experience of the patrol team. Many things that make people eye-popping are just as childish and ridiculous as playing house in our opinion."
"Oh, there's a guy having sex with a goblin with a horse head."
"Uh... the taste is a bit unique."
"That goblin is gay."
"...It's not that rare."
"It's only eight years old."
"..."
Even Shamis, who just now claimed to be well-informed, didn't know what to say for a moment.
The two were silent for a while, but Gaia was the first to speak to break the awkward situation:
"By the way, where is the Explorers Association? I walked all the way and didn't see it."
"ah?"
Judging from his expression, Shamis had not yet recovered, but he still pointed to the tavern behind him:
"This is it."
"?"
Staring at the tavern behind Shamis, Gaia was stunned.
This tavern looks antique, and the doorway is made of good wood. The light reflected through the windows is also very warm. It can be called the warmest tavern I have seen in Gaia along the way.
——But what does this have to do with the Explorers Society?
Shamis looked at Gaia, who had an expression on her face, and drank the rest of the drink helplessly:
"Okay, actually it's strange for me when I first come here, but there are some things that may not be believed until they are seen, right?"
After saying this, Shamis turned and walked into the tavern.
After hesitating for a moment, Gaia still chose to believe Shamis and followed him into the tavern.
Just after pushing open the two wooden doors that exuded a faint warmth, Gaia's eyes suddenly opened up.
There are many small groups scattered in twos and threes in a place large enough for thousands of people to gather. There is a huge display board on one side of the internal space. There are ten people of all kinds at the reception desk providing services. There is a scrolling subtitle hanging above as a reminder. The weather in each region and whether there are any special conditions worth noting.
On the other side, there is a large bar. An octopus girl with dozens of tentacles is squatting on the bar, using her tentacles that change in length to flexibly mix and place drinks. , and put away the cups.
At the same time, a dozen or so red-skinned demon girls dressed openly held menus or delicacies and presented delicious dishes to the people sitting near the table.
In addition, the seven or eight-meter-high space is not wasted. Behind the reception desk is the staircase. Going up, there is a terrace with tables and chairs. Some people can enjoy wine, some have elegant meals, and some can watch with a joking smile. The drunken men were clashing below, and a few people even seemed to be playing cards there.
On the other side is an orderly room, with lights on inside to show that someone is there, but I don't know if it is an office or a place to stay.
"Oh, this is really true," Gaia couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the scene in front of her that far exceeded her imagination, "It's quite surprising."
"Right, let me just say that what the eyes see is not necessarily real."
Patting Gaia on the shoulder like an uncle, Shamis casually handed the wine glass to the demon girl passing by, and touched her thigh at the same time, causing the other party to pout in annoyance.
"...Are you okay with this?"
Although she doesn't object, Gaia doesn't quite understand this kind of behavior between same-sex people, especially since she experienced that kind of thing today, so it would be nice if it didn't cast a shadow on it.
"I can't help it. Who told me to hate men?"
Spreading his hands as if he had been greatly wronged, Shamis also glanced at Gaia:
"But I don't react much to you. Are you really a man?"
This sentence directly caused Gaia to fall into deep thought.
What is a man?
Psychological identification, or is it determined by physiological structure?
If it's a physical structure, I don't have any gender characteristics now.
But in terms of psychological acceptance, a scruffy bearded man who thinks he is a woman walks into the women's restroom... This is something that should be called to the police, right?
Unexpectedly, he silenced Gaia with just one word. Shamis's eyes widened immediately:
"I'll go, your reaction, could it be that..."
"It's not what you think!"
Gaia glared with some annoyance and denied Shamis's random thoughts.
However, his reaction made Shamis confirm his thoughts even more. He stretched out his hand and patted Gaia on the shoulder sympathetically:
"It's okay, it's okay. Modern medical technology has become very advanced. If it doesn't work, you can also go to the abyss for help, although they will definitely take the opportunity to trick you."
Gaia was really too lazy to pay attention to this walking yellow waste, so Nunu asked:
"Then where do I go to register?"
"Oh, just come with me. You've taken too long. I've completed all the previous procedures for you."
With a big wave of his hand, he signaled Gaia to follow him. While leading the way, Shamis couldn't help but continue talking:
"If you really can't do it, you can try to find someone from the Abyss. Although the contract process will definitely trick you, after all, the magic that the Abyss knows is all kinds of weird."
"I do not need!"
