Meili is gone, and a few days have passed.
I worked as a guild clerk as usual, and Lyla was spending a lot of time at home or if she got tired of it, telling me to change into a cat and come visit her at work.
"Mr. Loran... You haven't been well lately, have you?
That's what Miriam said when she was organizing the paperwork as an example.
"How are you?
"Yes, because Meili is gone after all...?
Is that so?
I didn't realize I wasn't feeling well in the first place.
She explained to everyone at work that Mairi had given it back to her parents.
"The inside of my chest feels a little sad."
After Meili disappeared, I just stopped feeling 'warm'.
"Mr. Loran, you say you miss him, don't you?
I see. Are you saying you miss this emotion?
Then I'm sure it is.
I felt neat, like I found pieces of a puzzle I couldn't find.
Me and Lyla have missed each other for the past few days.
As for the troubles of Mairi and the noble Lord Bardell, I was asked by the Iris Branch Manager to explain everything to me when I was alone in the Branch Manager's office.
He seemed willing to scold me for rambling that far within the guild - that's how they all seem to recognize it - but after hearing the circumstances, he rather praised me.
"You're more like a righteous ally than an assassin, you."
I thought righteous allies wouldn't kill people at work, but I swallowed it without saying.
"Um -! Just one more time, please! I'll try harder and study magic."
"Even if they say so..."
A boy was bowing his head to the receptionist at the reception.
"I want to be an adventurer!
"Please come back and take the exam again because you have failed the exam"
Minding the conversation, Miriam told me.
"I was a kid who failed the adventurer exam the other day, and I don't think I'm convinced of it. I was here yesterday."
Adventurer exams can be taken by anyone who is not a felon.
Those deemed qualitative by the examiner and those with a certain level of competence shall be passed.
It was written in the staff manual that the unsuccessful person would be re-tested six months later.
Looks like we're setting a six-month period in anticipation that the unsuccessful will grow.
Turn the paperwork summarizing the results of the Adventurer's Exam.
There was only one person who took the exam after Meili and failed.
A fourteen-year-old boy named Zeppett.
……
Hmm. I see.
The information included was name age, good weaponry, skills (if known), magic measurements, and the name of the examiner.
"It's time for the Alliance to close, so pick it up today"
"... Yes..."
Pump, and drop your shoulders. Zepet boy leaves guild.
It's time for the guild to close and I'm out of the office.
I heard Miriam from behind.
"Oh, that...? Mr. Loran, didn't you see it?
"Argan, you just left."
"Yep, it's too early to go home... rice, I wanted to be with you but no"
A Zepet boy was sitting on a stone staircase at the entrance to the guild.
"Can't you do it in six months?
Face up, you noticed me.
"Staff...... Yes, I want to be an adventurer soon and make it easier for my mother..."
Grabbing a thousand bucks... I think an adventurer really is a dream job.
But it's the same as beating, and there's not a handful of people who can get it.
"Because I don't have the strength, the test, it fell."
The examiner was another male employee, but there was nothing strange about it.
Zeppett Boy says he's from this town and lives fine with his mother.
"I've seen the brave fight the Demon King's Army from afar. Sometimes I admired that. With a sword, I wiped out a whole bunch of demons and demons - it was amazing."
So, the object is the sword?
Almeria, too, when I joined the party, handled the sword poorly and the sword technique was very cluttered with a talent request.
"I was curious, and I was shown the results of Mr. Zeppett's exam. … your skills are called 'piercing'."
"Yes. After I found out about it, I chose a sword because some of them yearn for the brave. But I couldn't use these skills at all... if I'd given you more amazing skills"
Everyone gets some skill. Exceptions also exist.
Like I was "Shadow Thin," Zepet Boy was, "Piercing."
"Will you let me use it? Skills"
"Huh? Fine..."
Creative ideas.
Depends on how you use any garbage skills.
Besides, unlike me, I'm not that pessimistic of a skill.
I came to a vacant lot in town with a Zepet boy with a strange face.
"Well, I'll go"
Pull the sword out of the sheath and set it up.
It was a scheme that was filled with gaps and could be described as smiling.
"Ha!"
Stick out the sword you held in both hands.
Activated skills glowed pale cuttings.
Then he showed me twice and three times, slashing, poking, grunting.
"Literally, 'Piercing' is a skill dedicated to piercing. - You're using your skills at the time of poking."
"Yes!"
When I said it, I replied gladly.
I looked around and discovered just the right thing.
"Now try your skills"
"Uh-huh. But this, it's not a weapon...?
"Do you know how to use it?
"I understand, don't be silly"
The boy, gripping grievantly, stabbed Scoop to the ground.
Zagn...
"Wow, I'm going in the back......!
The scoop went in halfway through the pattern because I stabbed him to the ground thoughtfully.
"Su, wow"
"That's what I mean"
"Oh, you mean... then my weapon is - Scoop? Oh, no... super no..."
Disappointed, both knees nodded about the ground.
"Digging holes is very important. In the woods and caves where there is no safety zone, with this we can create a safe resting place. You can also build walls of excavated soil and rocks into materials."
"Ha, indeed......!
The zeppet boy easily dug the hole so as to spoon the crunchy, crunchy, and pudding.
"I can't fight, but when it comes to convenience, it's convenient"
"It's not just an adventure to fight, is it?
Right, and Zepet boy laughed.
"If the examiner has adventurer experience, he will certainly acknowledge the practicality of Skop's compatibility with his skills"
"Ugh... but I can't take the exam until six months later"
"Wouldn't you like to take it in an approximate town? You won't have to stick to this town."
You can only take quests in a town that has become an adventurer, there is no decision.
The aspirant may be tested in any town.
"Uh, okay? Even if it's approximate."
"I'll get away from this town, but you can take it. I think the receptionist I was asking for today wanted to say that we can't redo the exam, if we're going to take it again here, six months later."
"Were you... Thanks for sharing all this!
Pepper, and Zeppett boy ran away with his head bowed and pleasure.
Another tool...... I tried to teach you how to use a weapon, not a scoop, but if you just pass the exam, a scoop would be enough.
There is no adventurer using Scop as a weapon.
Its rarity should always attract the eye.
It wasn't until a week later that I showed up again to the guild.
"Officials!
The Zeppetto boy called me in the back.
In his hand, he was holding an adventure card.
"I was so praised by the examiner! He said he would definitely continue to live the way he used his skills and his ideas! It wasn't my idea. I really wanted to thank you!
"That's good to hear."
"A special quest... I was told to work hard to find ore in the ground, to excavate, to make my way, and to do that kind of quest for just enough"
I tried to teach you how to use a weapon, but this is probably fine.
Because you won't be an adventurer to grieve your mother.
"Looking forward to working with you in the future"
"No, please don't!
"I didn't say it because I thought I would be a blade even if I told you then...... do you also remember how to handle spears?
I just thought about it and shook my head.
"I'm going on my own adventure. I'll remember you then if I have to."
I laughed back at the boy who laughed more.
With the skill 'Piercing', I'm sure you can't be a hero.
But even with adventurers like that, I think I'm good.
