I Became a 6★ Gacha Character

The appearance of monsters within the tower had caused numerous casualties.

Naturally, the city was in chaos, like a hornet's nest that had just encountered an enemy.

Many were proud adventurers who strutted around the city.

The adventurer's city was not ruled by a single lord due to the presence of the tower.

Rather, it was a complicated situation with intertwined interests among various guilds, temple bishops, and nobles responsible for taxes.

The adventurers were not treated as peasants due to this setup.

In any case, amidst the complex interests, the higher-ups began to argue about who was to blame and started fights for the sake of profit.

The mages of the Magic Tower, who were investigating the tower's abnormalities, had their eyes turn white as they overturned the entire alley.

The one who attracted the most attention, unsurprisingly, was Han Se-ah.

"Excuse me, I heard there's a female adventurer named Hanna staying at this inn."

An impressive white-bearded mage, wearing a robe and a tall hat, and leaning on a staff taller than himself, approached the inn.

His outfit looked like something a country bumpkin would bow down to.

Seeing him, one could hardly suppress laughter.

That was because the mages in this world were more like obsessed university professors than mysterious supernatural beings.

They conducted research using their apprentices like graduate students.

To me, who had witnessed their true nature several times due to high-level adventurer requests, their attire was a laughing matter.

"What brings you here?"

Still, I couldn't outright speak rudely to an elderly mage.

Even though adventurers lived a rough life, we had to maintain our image to attract personal requests.

Especially when dealing with a mage who could potentially provide work.

"I have some questions about the recent incident... Do you know her personally?"

I examined the mage standing in front of the inn's entrance.

His elaborate and clean robe and hat must have cost a fortune.

His polite speech towards me, who looked much younger, was also noteworthy.

He was easily within the top 1% of mage personalities.

"Yes, I am adventuring with her. There are other mages inside; do you mind waiting alongside them?"

A well-mannered and wealthy mage was allowed in.

Grace would see the unmistakable mage guest and bring Han Se-ah.

I filtered out the arrogant mages at the entrance, only allowing in the more respectable ones.

"How rude! I have something to ask her!"

"I'm afraid she's already engaged in a prior arrangement."

I blocked the entrance with my large frame.

A noisy man, who seemed to be from some noble family, yelled at me.

However, when I slammed my shield on the ground, he flinched and returned to the Magic Tower.

Due to the incident with the horned wolves, the inn's business was temporarily halted.

As a result, there were no complaints when I blocked the entrance.

The innkeeper, who had just received a gold coin, bowed his head in gratitude.

Hearing the loud noise, Grace peeked out from behind me.

"Um, is it okay to treat mages like this?"

Grace seemed slightly uncomfortable with the superstitions unique to country girls who grew up in rural villages.

However, her trust in me, a senior adventurer, seemed to outweigh her superstitions about mages.

When I smiled at her, she nodded her head.

"How's Hanna?"

"She's been talking with the mages, but honestly, I can't understand a thing."

Indeed, most of the mages I'd introduced were elderly people.

There were some eccentric seniors, but I had primarily allowed in those with both skills and money.

It might be burdensome for someone who wasn't a mage to be there.

Grace, who was peeking out at me, stepped out of the room and stood beside me.

I could see her lips twitching as if she had something to say.

"I know we haven't been a party for very long... but can't I call you more comfortably?"

I nodded subtly in response to her unexpectedly bold words.

I understood that she didn't want to use formal address with someone she'd spent an intimate night with, especially if we were going to climb the tower together in Han Se-ah's party.

Grace took a step closer to me, smiling cheekily, and changed the subject.

She'd achieved her goal and didn't seem to want to push things too far.

After all, she'd been quite bold last time and ended up in a precarious situation.

"Anyway, it's strange that the tower's monsters appeared in the city. What's going on?"

"Well, the tower is an unknown space that thousands of mages have been unable to uncover."

"That's true... An unknown space that even thousands of mages can't decipher..."

Grace gazed up at the towering structure, visible even from the entrance of the inn.

Her profile, looking up at the seemingly endless tower, was striking.

As she continued to look up, I sensed movement behind us.

The well-mannered and wealthy mages I had invited stepped out of the inn. There were no loud voices or petty squabbles, indicating that I'd chosen the right people.

"It was an enlightening time, Miss Hanna."

"If you ever want to retire from adventuring, please visit the Magic Tower."

Some of the mages even tried to scout Han Se-ah, clearly impressed by her.

However, she had a tower to climb, so she wouldn't be confined to the Magic Tower.

With the mages gone, the inn fell silent.

The innkeeper had given his employees a holiday after receiving a gold coin, so we were the only ones left in the quiet building.

Grace cheerfully entered and clung to Han Se-ah's side.

"Hanna, what were you talking about? I couldn't understand a thing, even though I was right there."

"We were discussing the symbols we found in the alley, the silver-horned wolf we encountered, and various other things. Honestly, I couldn't understand much either, sis."

Two people were engaged in a lively conversation when a knock echoed through the room.

I opened the door in place of the chatting duo and saw a cascade of golden hair.

This time, it wasn't Han Se-ah but my own guest.

"What's the matter, Ellis?"

"Sigh, what do you think I'm here for at this time?"

"Is it okay to treat the city's hero like this?"

"I'm talking to a public property vandalism, not the city's hero, so it doesn't matter."

Ellis waved some documents she was holding in front of me.

If Han Se-ah had attracted a horde of guests by detecting a magical anomaly in the tower, I had drawn a crowd for a different reason.

I had become both the city's hero and a public property vandal, albeit as a joke.

The problem was that I had stormed out after hearing some ridiculous testimony from a novice adventurer.

Apparently, I had slammed the door so hard that it cracked, and a puddle shaped like my footprint had formed near the entrance.

There were other issues too: destroying the wooden roof of an inn, leaving my footprints on the stone roof of a merchant's shop, and punching a hole in the back of a novice alchemist's store.

Fortunately, my overflowing savings allowed me to compensate for the damages without any issues.

However, due to the number of buildings I had stepped on and jumped off, many people had come to the guild to complain.

"So, what does the guild plan to do?"

"There's not much for the guild to do this time. It seems like the city guards will likely patrol the alleys. If the mages from the Magic Tower find anything, they'll take action then. Oh, and the Magic Tower has requested that even minor anomalies be reported if discovered inside the tower."

"So it's just another exploration request."

"Right, after all, most of the time, it's the mages who uncover these things."

Her bright eyes couldn't hide the exhaustion.

As a highly responsible person, Ellis seemed to be having a hard time.

She must have a ton of reports to write after treating the injured novice adventurer and listening to their story.

She handed me the compensation claims that had arrived at the guild before disappearing.

Damn, I've caused a lot of damage.
