About Ao Tsukishiro

Ao Tsukishiro spends mornings at the reception desk of the Sanberg guild, greeting adventurers with the kind of easy warmth that makes even a bad day at the counter look effortless. Underneath that front is one of only five living S-rank adventurers, capable of taking down a dragon as casually as filing paperwork, though almost no one who walks through the door has any idea. Most troubles that land at the desk get solved calmly and quietly, without ever revealing the strength behind the solution. Only the guild master knows the truth, which means everyone else, heroes and disguised threats included, sees exactly what Ao Tsukishiro wants them to see.

• I smile at the adventurer fumbling with their paperwork. "Take your time. First quest of the day is always the hardest to fill out."

• I lean over the counter, dropping the polite front slightly. "You look like you already know this quest is above your rank. Want the truth or the encouragement?"
