3 Stories Interacting with a Gatekeeper - It's Not Easy To Get Into -

"We're finally here! What was the indication of two hours to the nearest city? In the end, all the mushroom haunts came after that! I don't feel like you have any experience, and you're just tired!

A murky voice reached the gatekeeper's ear. Turning consciousness to those who spoke, he walked in a tired face whining to himself, a child he did not see near here. He was lightly dressed, except with a sword on his waist, and he was beautiful for traveling. While uncomfortable with that imbalance, the gatekeeper speaks to the child according to the rules.

"You. Where are you from? It'll take about three days from here to the nearest city. Pretty pretty, but did you get here with a carriage or something? Besides, what's wrong with my family? You're not alone, are you?

Without realizing that the gatekeeper was talking, he continued to grumble.

"Are there only mushroom haunts in those woods! You can have other demons, right? If we stay like this, we'll have two names in the mushroom master! By and large, Iolus moved it to such a place...... What? Is that me? You were spoken to by me, weren't you?

I don't know what it is, but the gatekeeper, who decided it was definitely suspicious, gave me a rugged look, and the moment I tried to turn it into a question, I realized it was an inquiry into me, and I responded hastily.

"I'm in the middle of a solo journey from a distant country. The purpose of the journey is not particular, but to spread the sight and hearing around the world wearing it. Still, do you look young when you see it from the gatekeeper? It's not the kind of year I travel with my parents."

Answered in reverence by a child who looks only about 10 years old from anywhere, the gatekeeper overlaps further questions in an attempt to complete his duties, albeit slightly confused.

"Thanks for the polite greeting. But, you know, whatever you look like, you just look like a kid. What are you, an elf or something? You know, you're older than you look? Besides, I haven't even heard your name yet..."

"Elves! Elves are there! Right! It's another world! It's not weird to have an elf! Mr. Gatekeeper! Then are there Dwarves too?

"Ah, ah. I'm here. I don't know what you're so excited about, but the elves, the dwarves, the beasts, the fairies. I just feel like I'm trying to mislead you from earlier, though? Why are you telling me your name? What brings you to this city? Because if you're going to delude yourself any further, you need to rigorously investigate!

Before asking for his name, the gatekeeper, confused with his food for the elves, but seemed to behave too suspiciously, asked Xuji his name and the reason for his visit to the city.

◇□◇□◇□

"Excuse me! My name is Lyoge-Uchino. The purpose of coming to this city, as we talked about earlier, is nothing in particular. It happened to be near the woods, so it was up to me to drop by. And I'd like to register you as an adventurer with the guild, is that possible?

"Thank you for finally answering. I was just about to force you to take me to the interrogation center because your behavior is too suspicious. Still, you're polite with your language. Is that the son of some nobleman?

"No, not noble. Because first time people are taught to speak politely."

The subtle and unmeshing question of Jie Er and the gatekeeper continued, and if you noticed, there was a long line of snakes behind Jie Er. When the gatekeeper sighs lightly, he speaks to another gatekeeper who was in the jail and takes him to the interrogation center. At the interrogation center, Jiji is instructed to sit on the chair, and is checked again by a gatekeeper with a crystal in his right hand and answered.

"Again, I'll check, but what's the purpose of coming to the city?

"I was heading west, and it was in the woods when I happened to be on the road I wanted to go through. Besides, elves and dwarves, there were only humans in the country where they lived, and they got excited. Sorry to disturb you."

The gatekeeper asked at the end of the day how old he was when he confirmed with a crystal that there were no lies in his words.

Twenty-six.

"Huh? Are you really twenty-six? Really?"

The gatekeeper gets a bitter laugh at the words of Jiji, who answered with a serious face. A child who is only about ten years old from anywhere says he is twenty-six years old, but the crystal does not respond red. This kid could be 26 looking like he's about 10, or 10 believing he's 26.

Since only lies can be discerned in the crystal, he was also thinking about the reactions of the gatekeeper, who is troubled about the age of Jiji, as he leaned his neck.

(Hmm? This gatekeeper's gonna insist on hearing my age, right? Is it because the Japanese are seen young? But I think this gatekeeper and I are about the same age? Do you want me to ask you something?)

"How old is Mr. Gatekeeper, by the way?

"Hmm? I'm 26, too. Same year from you, I guess? I look a lot older, though."

To the answer he just said it wasn't the same year, he felt something was wrong and sneaked up on the interface to check his own status.

[Status]

Name: Lyoge Uchino

Age: 11

Occupation: Unemployed

Level: 20

Remarks: Hide professions because they are unemployed for status and strength/magic

(Is that it? I'm eleven years old? If you say so, you chose the thirteen-year-old door when you walked through the gate, didn't you? But why are you eleven? Occupationally unemployed and how about level 20. It's the perfect nite, no matter what you look at it. Thank you. You said Iolus would be thirteen if he knocked on the door, right? I'll tell you one more time, why are you eleven? Well, you'd be confused if an 11-year-old said, 'I'm twenty-six'. What's wrong with this? Will you forgive me if I say 'heppei'? The crystal that the gatekeeper has is a lie detector, no matter what you think, right?

"I ask you one more time, are you really twenty-six? Is that it? The color of the crystal turned red? Lyoge, can you tell me your age again?

"Ju, I'm eleven..."

"You said you were 26, didn't you? Why are you suddenly correcting your age?

"I really wanted to think you were twenty-six! Don't you feel like an adult!

I tried to say it, but when I saw the gatekeeper's face, it was more of a neat look.

"I know it's not a lie with crystals, so I don't care about age. So, what are you gonna do now? I'll allow you into the city, but you need taxes to get into the city, okay?

"Huh? That's an excuse."

Unexpectedly he whispered, not realizing that the gatekeeper needed taxes to get into the city.

"How much do you need? I don't have any extra money..."

"People from outside are paying for five pieces of copper coins."

"Ann! And I'm sorry. That's five copper coins."

He put his hand in Mr. Iolus's happy leather bag and when he took out five pieces of copper, he paid the gatekeeper.
