"This is a small but current living fund. Take it with you. And food on the road. If you go over there, make sure to rely on the adventurers at the orphanage."
"Thank you for your consideration, Dean Danton. Come on, Alfine has to thank you, too."
When we graduated from the orphanage and became adventurers in the capital, we welcomed the day we left the village.
The number of graduates of the same age who were born shortly after the Great Attack was very small. Since everyone was finding a job in the village and starting a new life, only me and Finn were aiming for adventurers in the capital.
"I know. Director Danton, thank you for your help so far." Thank you for your kindness. "
Feria-sensei suddenly greeted me with a tight hug.
"Alfine, you won't be able to stay in the orphanage with Mr. Finn to help us." After all, I'm not worried about letting you out. "
Repeated conversations with Professor Feria are repeated at the end.
"I want to stand up with my sword." I understand that Dr. Feria is worried, but Finn is here, and I'm an adult, so I'm sure I'll manage. ”
"Adult...? Then, can you sleep alone at night without Mr. Finn?"
Let's go!
Can I cook rice by myself?
"Ugh!?"
Can you properly say hello to someone you don't know at all?
"Ughhh!?"
I can't do it all...
But I can't make enough money in the village, and I'm going to run out of sword arms.
If you're an adventurer, you can make enough money with one of your swords.
That way, we can get some money to live with Finn, and even an orphanage can be a bit more beautiful.
I really wanted to be an adventurer in the capital in order to realize my dreams.
"I can't do everything yet, but I'll try my best." Will you forgive me if I don't make it and come back to the orphanage and help the Feria teachers? "
I told Dr. Feria that I was comfortable with the compromise.
Professor Feria and Director Danton treat everyone equally, but among them, they paid special attention to me and Finn, and they talked about taking over the orphanage as an adopted child in the future.
However, I refused the two of them because I wanted to become an adventurer.
Sensei Feria stares at me with eyes that are worried and irresistible.
After a while of silence, he exhaled and stepped away from me.
If it really doesn't work, you'll come back, right?
Yes!
"In ten years, it's platinum grade. If you don't get here, why don't you come back and help me?"
Yes! OK!
I responded enthusiastically to Dr. Feria's offer.
"Huh? Huh? Alfine, wait a minute! Platinum grade in 10 years!? Dr. Feria, you don't know that the platinum grade is the highest grade of an adventurer, do you?"
Finn, who heard my reply, looked puzzled.
“Yeah, I know. We've heard that even though many veteran platinum-grade adventurers have died as a result of the Great Attack and the assessment has been sweetened with the meaning of replenishment, it seems that only a very small percentage of them will reach the platinum grade in 10 years."
...... Damn it! I'm being plotted!
I'm confident in my sword, but there are many adventurer requests, and I wonder if I can go up to the platinum grade in 10 years...
"Alfine, you can come back whenever you think you can't." You can study social studies for up to ten years. When I get back, I'll be 25 years old. It might be a little late to have a belt, but they'll be fine. "
Ten years from now, I'll have to do my best until the two of you come back.
Dean Danton also nodded as he looked at us with a smile.
"It's okay! I'll make it a platinum grade!" Fern, good luck! "
"Eh! Eh! I'll do my best, but it's a platinum grade."
Even though Fine appears to be wandering, it seems that Dr. Feria has admitted ten years of training, and we have no choice but to do our best.
"Dean Danton, dean Feria! I'm coming! Finn, let's go!"
Ah, oh, I'm coming!
I pulled Finn's hand, which was wandering and confused, and decided to head for the tunnel through the mountain that served as the entrance to the village.
I said goodbye to the village guard in the tunnel, lit the lantern that Director Danton had given me, and walked through the dark tunnel with Finn.
"I knew it was scary in the dark..."
When I became an adventurer, I was told that I had requests for ruins and caves, but I preferred requests for bright days.
The dark world is filled with frightening imagination, and my heart is throbbing, so I haven't liked it since I was a kid.
Grasping the lights, Finn gripped her hand as she walked next to her.
"Alfine, are you okay? You can still turn back now."
As expected, Fine felt a little uneasy about her adventurer's life in the capital, and her lantern-lit face had an uneasy expression on it.
"It's okay. There are lanterns and lights!" Come on, let's go to King's Landing! "
"Hey, don't run because it's dangerous!"
I pulled Finn's hand and ran through the dark tunnel as fast as I could, leaving Lisburn Village and heading all the way to King's Landing to start my life as an adventurer.
