I peek into Mr. Ratluaâs face, but he didnât seem to notice.
âSurely the purpose of the journey was the town next to the kingâs capital, wasnât it?
âYes.â
âHow long has it been decided to go there?
âNo, I havenât decidedâ
âIf so, why donât you spend the time in this town? Ah, leave the current problem aside for a moment.â
â⊠uhâŠâ
âI had a new system in my guild about a year ago. Parental representation system. Itâs to protect the children who are running away from their parents and the children who lost their parents in the guild. Because children without parents are being targeted by a variety of organizations. Besides, in the guildâs system so far, it has been very vulnerable to blood-connected parents. Thatâs the system to make it up to. If you set up a parental representation, information will never flow, even if the parents are lookingâ
Wow.
Adventurer Guild is something more than I thought.
ButâŠ
âIf you sign up for the guild, you can choose a safe job. If anything happens, I can get them to protect me in the guild. Well, this registration requires a one-year period to prove that the parent surrogate didnât just lend his name.â
It makes me sad that my heart is warm and at the same time unable to respond to the serious face of Mr. Ratlua, who speaks with his eyes firmly together.
If you get distracted, youâre going to have zero tears.
âIf you sign up for the guild, you can choose a safe job, and if you work hard, you earn a steady income. It also serves as a guarantee of identity. You can join the team, you can make it. Why donât you think about it?
âŠâŠâŠâŠ
âI want you to join our team. But Sayserk said that Ivyâs personality would make him do it with care. But canât you?
Shake your head to the side and show your will.
And be careful not to let your voice tremble.
âBecause it will be a leg wrap. And where the top adventurers go, I shouldnât. I canât even protect myself.â
âUgh, canât you just stay in town when you say that⊠Make me pay extra attention.â
âExcuse me. But Iâm glad you asked me outâ
âSeiselk and Borolda told me not to talk to you because itâs just going to get Ivy in trouble. Because itâs my fault. Youâre in trouble, Iâm sorry.â
Laugh and shake your head to the side.
Iâm in trouble, but Iâm very happy.\n
Besides, it conveys a great deal about me.
But I canât sign up for an Alliance that requires me to record my skills.
Absolutely.
âThank you. Itâs not a quick journey, but Iâm not going to stay anywhere.â
If you donât have to worry about your skills, Iâm sure youâll jump right at it.
But I canât.
The church I saw earlier.
There was a man dressed as a priest.
The moment I saw the person, the tremor that ran all over my body.
Words screamed by priests who saw my skills ran through my head.
âNo way, thereâs an abominable child who blasphemes God!!âŠâŠ why are you inside the church! Thereâs a filthy man whoâs not even worth living!
I canât forget that scream.
My shivering father looked confused, then sad⊠and the last thing I saw was a look close to hatred.
My father valued the Churchâs teachings very much.
I wonder if itâs because of my memory of the previous one. Sometimes it seemed a little unusual to me when I was young.
I guess thatâs why the priest refused to allow me to exist.
Just enough to cut me off.
âOh well. Canât you? But I need you to think about it for a second.â
Mr. Ratluaâs kindness is delightful and sad.
My voice was about to tremble, so I managed to make a smile and nod.
Grip the basket containing the washed clothes all the way in.
Iâm fine.
Speak with your heart the words that have been repeated many times.
Iâm fine.
When I returned to the square and turned my gaze towards the tent, my legs stopped at being in sight.
Mr. Ratlua noticed, too, and the two of us looked at each other.
Next to our tent, Mr. Meera is smiling and waving.
Next to that, there are two adventurous people I donât know. \nI didnât think youâd make contact so soon.
Itâs a little uncomfortable considering the organization I was hearing about.
Could there be something wrong with the organization?
⊠the control that says it failed, did it hit a little or something?
I donât have time to think about anything else.
I donât know what youâre going to do, so I need to keep you distracted.
âAre you okay?â
âAbsolutely.â
For some reason, Mr. Ratlua has a more nervous vibe.
That makes me laugh at something funny.
In response to that voice, Mr. Ratlua laughed, too.
Take a small, deep breath and head to the tent where Mr. Meera and the others are waiting.
âIvy, long time no seeâ
I could turn a natural smile on Meera with a smile.
Good.
âLong time no seeâ
âHey, itâs been two days.â
âI did. I told her about Ivy today, and she brought a friend who wanted to see me.â
âFriendsâŠâŠâ
Do you want to see me?
Turn your gaze to the two people next to Mr. Meera.
âNice to meet you, Kara.â
âHi, Iâm Luiselia. I missed you because Meera would brag about Ivy. Sorry, suddenly.â
âNo, uh, bragging?
Somehow, I donât feel like I can put you on Mr. Meeraâs pace.
Iâd like to talk to you a little more calmly so you donât fail.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
\nIf I didnât know anything, Iâd stand out for my cuteness because Iâm a beautiful person.
From me, itâs horrible.
âWe should all go.â
Kara embarrasses Meera with a quiet voice.
âYes, butâ
âAll right, decision! Tomorrow weâll go to âFlofloâ or âAmarokal'â
âWhat, why those two exclusives!
âI introduced Ivy to town today, and thatâs when you were talking about going,â
Iâm not talking about that at all.
But I guess thereâs a reason.
âYes.â
âEh, I recommend âMommy Locoâ or something,â
âMommy Rocco is fine, but you havenât got a new one.â
â⊠well, yeahâ
Is that it?
Something was a little crazy right now, Mr. Meera.
Is it your fault?
âAlready! Anywhere!
All of a sudden, Mr. Luiselia, he shouts out loud.
Surprised.
What is it?
âThen tomorrow itâsâ Floflo âorâ Amarocal â. The day after tomorrow isâ Mama Loco ââ
âRight. Letâs do that.â
I knew it was somethingâŠâŠ is it your fault?
Or is there something in there called âMommy Locoâ?
Still, I feel kind of in a hurry.
Both Mr. Seiselk and Mr. Borolda said the organization was good at intelligence.
