In order to make money, it has been a month since we started to prioritize the search requests.
Searcher requests were often nearby, and I did many requests in one day.
Thanks to this, you can now eat properly, stay in an inn, and save a little money for Nikolai to hit you with his sword.
"This is the end of today's request, isn't it?" "The monsters have come out..." Hah, let's go home and train. "
"That's right. If we go home before the sun goes down, we'll have a little time for training." That's all for today. "
When Finn stood up with herbs in his cage, he noticed someone in the back of the bush.
"Who? Name me!"
When he touched the sword, he asked the target for his name.
Finn seemed to have noticed, and he was resting his hand on the sword.
I heard recently that there is a group of middle-level adventurers who are aiming at rushing adventurers to raise money, but I wonder if they are among them.
I only felt one sign.
"Hey, can you not put your hand on the sword?" You haven't shown me your willingness to attack, have you? "
It was a female adventurer about the same age who emerged from the bush.
If you dress relatively lightly, you may be a child who specializes in searchers.
Nevertheless, I can't be alarmed.
I don't think strangers are always on our side.
"Name, if you can't name yourself, I won't take your hand off the sword."
When the female adventurer saw that she kept her hands from the sword, she shrugged her shoulders with a dazed look.
“Sophie, I'm Sophie. Now that I've called you, you should call yourselves yourself, too."
"What can we do for you?" If you need me, stay away from me, Sophie-san. "
I won't let go of my sword.
The middle-aged adventurers in question were warned by female adventurers, and I heard that there was a pattern of hiding people attacking them.
All the damage was said to be caused by the iron adventurers who rushed out, and since Finn had heard rumors that it was happening close to the capital, we had to be careful.
You think I'm one of those group of mid-level adventurers?
What if it is?
“You're mistaken. I'm surprised they think you're one of them!”
"You don't have any proof, do you? Don't come near me on your own."
I pulled out my sword and asked Sophie to stop me.
"Alfine, I've lost my sword." If someone finds out about the private struggle between adventurers, it will resound in the rank assessment. "
"Finn, but--"
"It's called Alfine and Finn. You don't want to be judged by each other.”
"Knock it off. The sword is gone."
Sheathed the sword she pulled out, Sophie gazed at her.
"Why are you still showing hostility?" I just want to talk to you. Why are you so vigilant like a wild cat? "
When Finn saw that I was in a bad mood, he opened his mouth as he stood between Sophie and me.
"Sophie, now is the time when many adventurers have become suspicious in this case, and I think it's natural to be alert to people you've never met." Besides, my Alfine isn't really good at talking to people. "
Huh, is that so?
Sophie's gaze pours over us.
So, what was your errand?
"I was looking for a young black-haired swordsman who had recently become an adventurer." Look, there's even talk of black hair being the bloodline of the royal family. Besides, if you ask me, I'm a female swordsman. Imagine the first Sword Saint. That's why I just wanted to take a look at it. "
"What!? That's the reason!?"
Most people don't superstition that black-eyed black hair is royal bloodline.
Why do you look for it just because you heard the story?
I don't know what that means.
"Look, I think it would be beneficial for you."
I don't know!
"But I'm freaking out!" Alfine and I are definitely going to like it. Now that I know you, you're my friend. "
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Get your hands off me! "
When Sophie dodged Finn, she came to me and shook her hand.
Isn't your maneuver too light? So you're too familiar with it!
"Isn't it terrible? It's not as good as a handshake."
"I don't like being touched on my own!"
"Well then, you can touch it." I'm touching you. Yeah, yeah, you got a pretty stuck-up hand. It looks like you're practicing your sword a lot. "
Sophie's words took me by surprise, and I touched my hand while I was doing it.
No, no, no, no, no.
I haven't listened to people properly.
"Let's go home, Finn! Now!" Now! "
"Oh, yeah. That's right. Mr. Sophie, Alfine hates you, so stop it. We'll take it from here."
"Um, how could I have met you!" It can't be helped, I'll keep it that way today. Alfine, let's talk again! "
I don't know!
Sophie slammed her hand into the gap and I ran away as if I were desperate.
I finished the cash change, went back to the inn, finished the meal and went to bed, but when I think of Sophie, I was thrilled and drowsy.
Even in the orphanage, I didn't get used to being of the same age, so I kept my distance all the time...
Sophie can't understand why she's filling the distance between herself and me.
For your benefit? Or is it Finn? No way, you don't really want to talk to me, do you?
I really don't know what this is about.
Finn said he didn't seem like a bad guy, but he couldn't be trusted that easily.
He's definitely planning something!
When I thought about Sophie, I couldn't sleep and the night began to dawn.
"Yes! Alfine, you've seen me today." Which request will you accept? "
I won't tell you.
"If you're going in the same direction, let's go together." Three people can collect deliveries more efficiently. "
No, no, no.
Why, then, then, shouldn't you be fine, Finn?
No, no, no, no.
"Hey, Alfine and I are friends!"
"I don't remember."
Sophie, who was in the Adventurer's Guild, kept calling out while Finn searched for requests.
Although I thought it was troublesome, I was surprised that I felt the comfort that I had not felt for a child my age who was in an orphanage.
No, you can't trust me!
I don't know what it is and I have to put it on appropriately.
"Hey, Alfine, no!"
"I'll see you when Finn comes back." Finn, did you get my request for today? "
Yeah, it's just a delivery.
Well then, let's get this over with quickly.
"Alfine, I'll come with you. I'll get a request soon!" Wait! Wait! If I go first, that's it! "
While Sophie was watching us, she disappeared into the window at her own request.
Well, let's go, before Sophie comes back.
Before Sophie came back, I decided to go with Finn to his place today.
