I Can Speak with Animals and Demons

Adventurer's City Aether

"What are you going to do with me following you all this way?

I slammed the carriage floor with my hand.

Currently, I'm looking for the adventurer's town of Aether.

Four days rocked by a carriage. It came this far via a small village.

We plan to reach the ether by noon today.

And there's no way I can take a goblin to such an adventurous city. The moment he is seen, he will be slapped by the inflexible adventurers.

"Jed. An adventurer is what throws a party, right?

Gigi, sitting around, asks me.

I'm getting bigger too, but they're still getting bigger. Looks like it has a little muscle on it.

"Hmm? Right? It could be two or three. Sounds like a lot of parties for four, huh?

"There are just three of us here. Jed together...... '

"'It's a foursome party!

"Oh and more! There's no way I can work with you guys! How do you get into the city! This is the city of adventurers, right?

When I shout out loud unexpectedly, the goblins look loud with their ears blocked.

"Ohhhhhhh!? Is that how it works?

"Wouldn't it be okay if I weaved feathers in a robe appropriately?

Gigi and Zabu say unscrupulous things.

"No, because your skin is green. 'Cause I can shoot you in one shot."

"Then even a bandage wraps around your whole body?

New adventurers who came to the city of Aether.

Its members are a human being and robe men with bandages wrapped around their skin.

Suspicious, too suspicious.

Such a method can only be used temporarily.

"Paint your bodies all over your skin tones and scrape off your ears and you might be able to figure it out."

After that, if you hide it with clothes to such an extent that it doesn't become suspicious... Is my hand tough?

"What are you talking about?" Still human!?

"I can't believe you cut my ear, which is my charm point..."

"I don't care about Bell's charm point or anything."

"Beep!"

Bell shouts a surprise, grabs my hips and screams.

Yes, yes, because I've been very happy with piercings lately.

By the way, it's a cow's nose ring, but let's keep it quiet. It seems like you like it, so why not?

"Then you can dye Jed's skin green..."

"Zab, are you trying to tell me that would be a goblin if you changed the color of my skin?

'... nothing'

First, then there's no point in just being able to do four goblins.

You want me, 12 years old, to abandon a human being and live as a demon?

"How far is it from forming a team goblin..."

Bell rolls around and looks up at the sky and says.

"The day will never come when a team like that can do it. I mean, you guys are gonna be in town soon, so get out of here."

Inside the walls were busy meeting many adventurers and leaving for the quest. A man who wears metal armor, leather armor, etc. on a fleshy flesh and walks dignified with a large sword.

Some of them have wizard-like canes in their hands, women in robes, and women who only wear cloths and minimal protective equipment like Amazones.

Does that flirty cloth have a function as a protective device?

That's the adventurer's city of Aether, full of adventurers.

I walked out observing the people of the city where I was going.

The Adventurer's Guild first, right?

So I'll have you register as an adventurer and introduce me to the inn.

By the way, this information was given to me by the merchant who put me in the carriage. It's good to hear it right.

Apparently the Adventurer Guild can be reached just by entering and going down the road, you can't go wrong because the most adventurers are going that way.

By the way, all the goblins disappeared into the woods in bad shape. Living near a city with many adventurers is insane.

But I don't think it's easy to screw up because it's about them.

I hope I don't do something weird...

Moving on for a while, I found something that looked like an Adventurer Guild.

I hear a lot of voices from inside about how many people there are.

No one seemed scared or involved, but I was ready to step in.

I smelled good food when I went inside.

That's because there's a tavern in the guild.

Because of lunch, many adventurers were eating food with alcohol in one hand.

And between the tables, two waitresses ran around with empty plates on the tray looking busy.

My presence inside brings together some of the adventurers' gaze.

Is it unusual to be a client, an adventurer or a newcomer?

The curiosity pierced my gaze until I headed straight to the reception counter.

A female guild employee greeted me with a brilliant sales smile as I headed to the reception.

a woman with brown hair ponytailed. He has a cute face that seems nice to people.

"Welcome to the Adventurer Alliance. Would you like a favor? Or is it adventurer registration?

"Please register as an adventurer"

"Understood. I will now charge you two thousand noise as registration fee."

That's what they say. I give two silver coins out of my pocket.

The currency of this world is 10,000 noise for one gold coin and 1,000 noise for one silver coin. It feels like a hundred noises is a piece of copper. They are all made of coins and are sculpted like goddesses. Is this Master Meliárina? You're prettier for real. After that, ten noises feel like a single circle of balls.

I wasn't used to it at first, but now it's tighter this way.

Thank you. I didn't like banknotes because I felt less thankful for the money.

The money my father is bringing me is 100,000 noise. I need to send more money.

After that, I want you to make your own quest and live. I have received weapons and protective equipment from my father, so I have no problem with it.

So it seems like we can afford to live for the time being.

That said, I want to keep it for emergencies, so I can't waste it.

We need to plan it properly and use it carefully.

"Then bring a drop of blood here. If you do that, you will be able to create an Adventurer Card that is a testament to the Adventurer and you will be registered."

Officials who say so and offer a single card with a needle.

What? Just a drop of blood on this card, and that's it? Morning! Morning!

Surprised that it was easier than I thought, I stab a needle in my finger and drain blood over the card.

The card then emitted light and gradually engraved its name and age from a bright white state to a copper color.

Oh, wow.

It must have my information engraved on it.

Then, after the light is emitted, the official takes the card and confirms it.

"Uh, yes, Master Jed, right? You're only twelve."

Get a card from an employee who laughs like a tea eye.

It was well written down there as Jed-Clifford.

Though the family name seems to be attached for once, she must have put it down by not saying it with care.

"Yes, now Master Jed is an adventurer from today on. Would you need an adventurer or adventurer card description?

"Ah, yes. Come out of the country. I don't know, please."

I have no idea, and the employee woman smiles and explains to me without showing me her troublesome face.

"Yes, then I'll explain. Adventurers have their rank first. If you can perform a quest to prove your power and be recognized by your Alliance, it will be updated and the color of your Adventurer Card will change. It feels like bronze, silver, gold in order from the bottom."

"I mean, freshly registered me with the bronze at the bottom?

"Yes, it will. And don't lose this adventurer card because it has a special feature that records the crusade of demons."

"Can you do that?

"Yes, it absorbs splashing magic vegetables precisely when you defeat demons. So please always carry it with you when you go outside without letting your skin go. Undocumented crusades don't pay off."

Although this is convenient again, there are likely to be a lot of problems.

We went outside on a crusade, but it seems like a lot of times we forget our cards and go back to the city.

"It seems convenient and inconvenient."

When I said that, the official replied with a bitter laugh, "Yes, that's right."

"For the quest, go to the bulletin board over there. Please be sure that other information is disclosed on the opposite bulletin board...... Then Dear Jed, The Adventurer Guild welcomes you. The guild looks forward to the upcoming activity!

At the same time as that voice, the other officials bow their heads, and the adventurers who were eating the rice give us a wild welcome.

This is how my adventurer life began............!
