Chapter 76 - Noelle
Since they finally got finish talking, They settled it with a simple farewell.
"Uhm… if you don\'t mind. Can I invite you for a dinner with my family?" Verxal asked reluctantly.
Hmm… what\'s with him? Is he attracted to Ellena? I guess he can\'t also escape Ellena\'s charm. Let him be. It won\'t hurt if she adores Ellena.
"I\'m sorry but I have to decline. I am really not into the type of gathering or meal. Please I hope you understand." Ellena answered, almost enough to break Verxal\'s heart.
After that, he just smiled bitterly, that I can at least see through him.
"It\'s okay. Please forget about my selfish request. And if you got something you need in the present when it comes to adventuring, please visit us again." He said.
"Yup! I will surely do it. Anyways, thank you once again." Ellena stood up before bowing.
I saw that Verxal just smiled at her. "
I\'ll take my leave."
"Wait!" He stopped Ellena. "Can I at least escort you outside?"
"Sure thing." Ellena nonchalantly said.
***
Just walking outside the building, people around are looking at them. Almost being curious why they are walking alone, also intrigued of who is Ellena since she wore average garments.
"You don\'t mind wearing that kind of clothes?" Verxal asked in curiosity.
Ellena shook her head. "No. It\'s really okay for me, at least it makes me remembers my humble days."
Verxal was speechless from Ellena\'s vague answer. I guess that he can\'t go on with that topic since it will be mean to ask her more about it.
"We\'re here," Verxal announced after reaching the gates.
Even there are gazes from everywhere, Ellena didn\'t mind it. I guess, she was still ignorant about that matter. They are intrigued by their relationship since the young master was escorting a woman. That, enough to be a gossip topic.
Ellena smiled before bowing again. "Thank you."
"It\'s okay. Also with your help, we finish our task immediately without wasting any effort with that demon." He said.
I guess he was right. If not for Ellena, they would have some difficulties catching that S-rank monster since they almost drain their energy.
But Ellena is trying to get away with people in the meantime. I guess that\'s her reason for declining Verxal\'s offer. Without reputation, she can\'t be confident with talking to other people, also with other powers since she is still dependent on her status as a Lumbert.
If we got successful in the adventurer field, maybe she got to be confident in talking.
"Sorry for the trouble. Let\'s meet if fate wants us to." Ellena said before waving her hands, walking away from the gate.
Verxal also smiled before waving.
Ho… that heavy atmosphere at that place. It\'s not worth the mention since it is heavy. Arrogance is all over the place, even the hallway is also filled with arrogance and pride. Thankfully we got to leave that place.
"Let\'s buy some new clothes," I remarked.
\'Yeah. Maybe we can buy a more decorated masked outfit.\' She added.
Since we got a plan of finally establishing an anonymous identity, buying new things that will leave her previous status would be great.
First, we stopped at an armor shop, buying some light armor. Then after it, we stop at a tailor shop to have some masks.
There, we got to move to a place where people are constantly filling the place. It was hectic since this place is known for adventurers\' haven.
It was a great coincidence that we will also start a new identity here.
Maybe we can still use her previous guild card, it won\'t hurt since the information isn\'t mentioning her last name.
"Don\'t you think we can change your information at the guild?"
\'I guess it\'s worth the effort.\'
"So what\'s your choice? You\'ll still be playing the alias Noelle?"
\'Maybe. It\'s a pretty name.\'
She speaking the truth. Noelle is really a pretty name. Even which reference it is, both Noelle is pretty.
Anyways, it\'s not important. We got to visit the guild. But before that, we must at least have to find someplace to rest.
At the plenty of choices of inns, we picked an inn called "Rest Stop". It was at least made in average talent. It\'s not bad but it\'s not impressive. At least enough to stay, it\'s not important in the first place.
Ellena got into the inn but just as expected, this place is filled with adventurers.
Slowly, passing through the crowd of people, Ellena reached the receptionist.
"Hello. Can I ask for the price?" Ellena sked.
"Welcome! If you are looking for the average room, it is 3 silvers for one night. If you\'re looking for an executive room which is wider than the average, 5 silvers for one night."
"Average room, one week," Ellena said before handing out 21 silvers.
"Right away. Please take room 13, here\'s the key, may I know what name I should register?"
"Noelle."
So this might be the debut of her alias huh…
She took the key then climb upstairs to find the room.
As the receptionist said, it was an average room. There are no impressive in particular.
"This will be my room, huh. Let\'s go to the guild to know if I can change my name there."
After deciding to change her information, we head to the guild where almost the same as the others building. It was filled with nostalgic office vibes, more of a city hall to be seen.
However, it wasn\'t important to me right now. I may have a body right now, but I can\'t still feel the excitement for myself. At least just for Ellena.
She headed to the receptionist.
"Excuse me."
"How can I help you?"
"Can I ask if I can change my name on the card? It\'s outdated, I was given a new name by my foster parents." Ellena said.
Haha. So she got to think ahead huh? Even creating some background in that name. Not bad.
The receptionist willingly accepted the card that Ellena handed. "Yes. But we have to create a new card for you and it\'s 10 gold coins."
From what the receptionist said, I was almost surprised. That\'s a massive price for creating a new card! Is this also their way of not having fake identities? I don\'t know, maybe it is.
"Okay. Here." Ellena took out 10 gold coins from Lushana\'s given allowance to them.
The receptionist just smiled before taking out the card and put it on a machine-type object on the desk.
"Please state your name."
"Noelle."
