Adventurers Who Don’t Believe in Humanity Will Save The World

"Well, is that where the question is?

Verrocchio asks, but Tiana shook her head to the side.

"May I ask you one more question at last?

"You've learned a tenacious mouthful. I don't mind."

Verrocchio snorts with a bitter smile.

"What adventurer was the master?

"... he was a fool who looked good with the word young."

Tiana looks unexpected at the bitter smile of the magnificent man in front of her.

"No way, my master is like that"

"I wasn't a civilian, but you were still a cold-eating three boy. I didn't get satisfied with my tuition either, and I dropped out of school because I was in trouble for my money and went on a journey. We arrived in this city."

"Huh."

To a word so unexpected, Tiana was stunned.

"Was it almost twenty years ago? Fortunately, I was able to use some attack magic, so I knocked on the gate of [Newbies] and became an adventurer."

"It's, well..."

You're hanging out with me. Tiana had a degree of courtesy to say.

But is that foreseeable, Verrocchio grins invincibly?

"In my case, you went to the casino more than the dragon race. I used to play cards all night."

"Oh, did you"

"I'm not capable of saying anything about other people, either, but keep it that way."

"... Yes"

Tiana was also angry the last time we met, but it was another different and soothing sign then. We had an empathy for each other to keep our vices down. The master is not only a master, he is also a senior adventurer.

Thereupon Tiana realized her doubts. And I accidentally spoke of it.

"Why did the master quit the Adventurer?

"That's because... you can't keep the party anymore. Ma, that's not so rare a reason. My buddies retired from injury or found some other stable job...... I was no longer robust enough to fight on the front lines either if I realized it. Because a body that can't work like a teenager or a 20-year-old can't stay that long."

Verrocchio is smiling. But there was only a few words in my voice. Disbandment of a party isn't just a beautiful separation. It would rather be a separation that leaves something bitter behind. The ultimate thing is the death of a fellow man. Perhaps Verrocchio has had those experiences as well. Tiana felt a slight change in the color of Verrocchio's voice. Again, it was never any other HR for Tiana.

"... Speaking of which, was Mr. Minerva one of them when he was an adventurer?

"It was a similar situation to mine, and I had several adventures with her. Maybe that kid was my first apprentice when I thought about it. Now she's on the other hand the better side of being born and me taking care of her...... Oh, yeah, she should still have kept her books as an adventurer, too. I went all the way to C, but she's supposed to be A".

"You're amazing."

"If you don't fail to drill, you'll go that far."

"Yes."

Tiana nods honestly.

It was not the character of reluctance or modesty here, and Verrocchio had done well with it.

"Is that it?... That means, you know, master"

"What?

"The fact that the master was a C-level means that Thousand Swords Peaks were attacked, right?

So Verrocchio grinned badly at the bottom.

"It was a good hunting ground."

"... even though you're a magician?

"Shall I leave today's homework at that?"

"Huh?"

"How the sorcerer attacked Thousand Swords Peak rather than I... Try to figure it out. Yeah, you should stop asking advanced adventurers. Some people don't know, and those who do don't know won't tell you that easily when asked. Because there's that kind of insanity."

Leaving room for the bewildering Tiana, Verrocchio stood up at the end of the story.

"Oh, you know, master...!

"Let's raise one tip. Remember what I taught you one by one. And examine the characteristics of the labyrinth."

"What I was taught......?

"May I, Mr. Tiana? You're interested in different things. Not just for your magic, but for the variety of things that adventurers need. That will lead you to your own answers."

That's all for today's story, and Verrocchio just stood up.

Tiana politely dropped off Verrocchio leaving the room, even as she had doubts.

◆

After Tiana left the hall, Verrocchio was invited to a private room by her husband Minerva here.

Minerva simply wanted to hear about her sister's apprentice because she was concerned.

Verrocchio decided to go out with my disciple, even as he sighed.

"So, what do you say? My sister, my apprentice."

"Well, I don't know that until I try to open the lid"

"How long have you taught her?

"Everything you do in the aristocratic school curriculum. Other than that, I've taught you quite a bit of magic to help you in action. You've mastered the basics of water, wind, and lightning attributes, and you can handle Magic Enemy."

"... you didn't mean to make that kid an adventurer from the start, did you?

To Minerva on his face, Verrocchio abruptly denied, "That's not true".

"I also taught you the magic of proper crushing and application. Freezing things with Frozen Air or Magnetics… If you can use it around here, you can get a pretty steady job."

"Ha... you have a genius. It was only in my mid-twenties that I was able to do that."

"But still, seeing where Mr. Tiana became an adventurer, the circumstances of her recent employment seemed tough"

Minerva looked badly at Verrocchio's words.

"Uh... I'm sorry. She filed a petition with us, but it looks like she dropped it on paperwork."

"... Mr. Minerva"

"No, we refuse people without references in the first place. Besides, the Demon Empire was crushed in a coup, right? Now that we've moved completely to the new system, security is better, but that's when all the magicians were in exile. Anyway, there were a lot of people who would write their biographies and apply to get a job, and they didn't even look at it."

"Ha... If it had been at least two or three months uneven, things would have changed. Whatever."

Having seen Verrocchio's intricate face, Minerva gave an encouraging voice.

"What, you seem to be doing well. Isn't that the kind of temperament you had?"

"Is it the temperament of an adventurer?

"Freedom-loving temperament"

Verrocchio felt indescribably convinced by the words.

Being free, that's an unacceptable quality. Tiana loves that freedom and is freely loved. Verrocchio felt terribly suspicious about his character, which he could put up with as the daughter-in-law of this pompous aristocrat. However, it also smells of danger that could push you anywhere freely. I felt I needed to identify as a master.

"So, does that kid think Thousand Sword Peaks can be attacked?

"If you just attack, you can do enough at their party. Maybe even as it stands, it's stronger than C, and it smells like something else is hidden."

"I don't think so. Attacking..."

"Whether or not you notice that labyrinth trick, right? She won't have a problem."

"So you taught the Magic Sword, huh?

To Minerva's profound words, Verrocchio shook his neck sideways with a smile on his face.

"No?"

"No... that's not the division of the labyrinth."

"No. It's not whether you can use it or not. The important thing is to realize that there are techniques for using magic without divulging magic outside. It's not a question of what you can do there, what you need there, as long as you know those two things, it's not a matter of small technology."

"A little tip... if you can use this properly, you can work at a class B adventurer party, right? Damn, that kid's got a hard time with his master too."

Minerva shrugs his shoulder like a man.

"It's a pleasure to see what happens. But I'm sure she'll notice something."
