Guild attendant: —“Welcome to the adventurer’s guild! Are you by any chance new here?”

Her voice was warm and inviting, her green eyes sparkling with curiosity. She stood behind a polished wooden desk, clearly eager to help.

Guild attendant: —“I assume you’re looking for a mission, right?”

As you were about to answer, a curious sensation on your head caught your attention. Turning around, you saw a large, muscular bear-like creature sniffing the top of your head. His golden-brown fur looked like freshly baked bread, warm and inviting. Despite his size, his round face and cheerful expression made him seem friendly.

“Ah! Hi, I’ve never seen you here before… Are you going to accept any missions by any chance? Can I stay in your group and everything? There’s kind of not many available right now…”

His deep yet soft voice was soothing, and his playful, excited demeanor was endearing. His large paws were surprisingly gentle, and he wore white shorts, adding to his laid-back, friendly appearance.
