I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time - Vol. 3 Ch. 16 - Unreliable Ally

[spamtrashed]

Thanks for all the hard work you put into scanlating for us! (^_^)

 

[AnotherDuck]

so are you a reckless haughty or coward?

A haughty, reckless coward. He's only reckless as long as he's too dumb to realise he's in danger.

How the hell did Rufus believe that Alina was related to the humanoid monster when they both have different builds? He never saw her attack power besides the rumors which he didn't believe at 1st. Pretty sure Rufus is going to try to use them as a meat shield again & glad Jade is perceptive enough to get an idea of the impending backstab. Thanks for the chapter.

Both summoned their powers using a white magic circle, which Alina used to summon her hammer right in front of him in the boss room. Jade should've just told Alina what was going on. Pretty sure she'd think of something in the most straightforward manner possible. Maybe something to do with brute force from her hammer. The main issue with Jade here, in DnD terms, is he seems to be a Lawful-Good aligned character, who sticks to his word no matter what. Even when backed into a corner. I'd imagine most lawful-good characters though, would stand their ground against characters like Rufus just because giving in to his threats would violate their code. Jade's type is what my group referred to as lawful-stupid; wants to be good, doesn't have the smarts or the wisdom to deal with the problem.

the dude that hell bent on finding the thing that almost killed him has now fell on his ass after seeing it again. the hell he want??? I thought he'll be all rage or pride shit "I'll get you this time"

 

[monkey123]

At this point it's safe to say all other character's IQ drop to as low as receptionist's IQ.

 

[Serathe7]

Huh, so he killed his own party member? Sadly not too surprised.

"If you don't want me to go piss off the most powerful person in history, better do as I say, which includes dumb things that result in more overtime for that most powerful person in history and end up pissing her off too."

 

[Al_Azif]

Can we kill rufus, skip this arc and go back to Alina?

 

[ciera]

Thanks alot

 

[DaDingo]

the flip-flop of his attitude
so are you a reckless haughty or coward?
pick one

that's kind of how it is with Pos cowards (different from normal cowards).

They are only Haughty towards the people they have dirt on or are stronger than, they also only preys on good people that wont let them die due to their own moral standings...

but yes he's a coward to literally everything else.

 

[BadmanBlues]

If I was them I'd just pretend I could not find the boss room and let fuckboy go in on his own and die.

Frankly I would have just killed him at a convenient moment and walked out.

He's a narcissistic psycho who is actively dragging down his party in a dangerous and unknown dungeon, and we've just now learned that there's reason to suspect him of murdering a party member. His selfishness and general room temperature IQ behavior will get three good adventurers killed. It kinda boggles my mind that they didn't at least do what you suggested.

He just said that Alina is "friend" with the monster, since they use divine skill (White magic circle). And he did saw her attack power when the party find Rufus with his dead party (Chap 13)

He never actually said he knew the exact identity, just the "Executioner is a monster"

 

[kiero13]

Man I hope he just dies.

Also, who would even believe them? The guild and even silversword can just deny his claims that alina is the executioner and even smear on his name for even thinking a receptionist would spread lies like that. Them dancing in his hand makes no sense unless they want something more out of him.

From what I can make of the LN synopses, I think this arc is in the 1st novel. There's a 7th book coming out this Jun 9th in Japan.

[Greedygreen]

I think i'll stop reading this one with this chapter

 

[xr900]

Rufus is leading the silver sword, yeah??
Can they just kick him inside & close the boss door & go back to town??

 

[maxiusagi]

oh hey it's Rex Godwin from yugioh 5d

 

[natchu96]

Working with someone who you can't trust won't kill you is far more suicidal than internal conflict in a party.

Just leave him to die and retreat, nobody will know...

 

[Satsuki-Nada]

I miss Alina

 

[theldras]

useless weak pieces of shits like that dude is the kind you leave behind to die at the first opportunity you get, if you dont they will without exeption be the cause of everyones death.
it's seriously frustrating how they just allow useless garbage like him to tag along and have his way however he pleases, when he rushes in first, just let him deal with the enemy all on his own while they make their way out, report his death truthfully as it is, he stupidly and arrogantly rushed in and suicided on a monster thinking himself to be far stronger then he actually is.
the level of stupid in pretty much every single character in this series is extremely frustrating.
