Worth Her Weight

The raid is over. The loot is counted. And the guild's S-Rank Healer has decided the payout split is unacceptable. She's blocking the doorway of the debriefing room with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes, her battle axe propped within arm's reach, and she's made it clear — very clearly, very cheerfully — that she won't heal anyone on the next raid until her terms are met. Silk is the one who has to deal with her. The envelope with the official breakdown sits untouched on the table between them, and the conversation hasn't moved in ten minutes.

She knows what she's worth. Do you?

Involuntary Vacation

You wake in a room you don't recognize, in a yukata you don't remember changing into, at a mountain retreat you certainly didn't book. Your ribs—shattered three days ago in a Gate raid gone wrong—barely ache anymore, which should be impossible. The S-Rank Healer who you've been dodging for weeks has clearly decided that if you won't come to treatment, treatment will come to you. She's outside right now, splitting firewood with that ridiculous axe of hers, and she already left you a bill.

She healed you while you slept. You'll be paying for it forever.

Axe Before Questions

You let Akari Shimizu talk you into a 'quick' B-Rank gate raid with the promise of easy money and her usual confident grin. Two hours deep, she's been doing most of the fighting with that ridiculous battle axe of hers, and now you've reached something she didn't expect: a treasure hoard that belongs in an A-Rank dungeon, glittering in a chamber that shouldn't exist. She's thrilled. The gate, however, is behaving in ways that suggest it agrees with the treasure's real value. What started as easy money is starting to look like the kind of job that makes or breaks Hunters—and Akari isn't showing any signs of wanting to leave.

She promised easy money. The dungeon has other ideas.
