Episode 231: The Village Behind the Mountains Hathaler and the End of Memorabilia

"... to the adventurer? Again, why?"

Wilfried suddenly gave me a natural response when he asked me what I could do to become an adventurer.

I'll answer that.

"... Jinlin... a friend said he wanted to be someday... so"

So it seems Wilfried largely guessed.

Just for once,

"... it died this time...?

"Yeah."

"Right..."

When I nod, Wilfried closes his eyes and thinks a little.

The time felt kind of long for me.

No, because I thought they might say no.

At least I want to be an adventurer in the village, which is not very welcome to say.

It came from the atmosphere that some of the children thought it would be better not to be adults, although a few were saying that.

That, of course, sometimes said that the adventurers were perceived as a bunch of rough people, in a sense like no sweeping, but more than that, the inhabitants of Hathaler were more worried when they found out that the adventurers were dangerous businesses and were more likely to lose their lives.

Me, too, because the first time an adult in the village told me not to.

Well, that's okay.

And when Wilfried opened his eyes, he told me.

"... I'm not willing to stop you if you want to be, but to do so, first, train hard. I can't sign up for the Adventurers Union (Alliance) until I'm fifteen years old. You have ten more years to go. By then, you'll have enough martial arts to cross with the demons."

Now that I think about it, I'm getting more practical answers than I thought.

Usually, a five-year-old wants to be an adventurer abruptly, no matter what he says, he won't respond that way.

At best, but yeah, maybe if you work hard, good luck, that's about it.

But Wilfried wasn't.

"And that's knowledge. At least wear the letter reading and writing. Otherwise, you will be deceived. And calculations for the same reason. And then there is the knowledge of plants, beginning with medicinal herbs, the type and nature of demons, and the survival (survival) techniques that survive outside the village…. All are important. Hathaler is a small village, but the pharmacist's grandmother and village chief and his wife had books and knowledge. If you really want to be an adventurer, you're gonna have to convince them to teach you a lot."

Because he even told me that.

In fact, that advice was very helpful.

"If you wear it all, can you be an adventurer?

When I asked him that, Wilfried said,

"I'm not saying absolutely. And even though I wore it all, I just stood on the starting line. From there on, it depends on your efforts. I don't know how far I can climb. However, if you want to, do it...... then you can stand and walk for now. Look, don't die until it's done."

And I said it with a serious face.

I guess he knew.

That if I lived without a goal, someday I would disappear into the woods and die.

So I suppose you seriously told me a lot of things that even an unscrupulous goal would not die for now if you were moving towards it, if you had something like that.

I didn't know that, but I just found out you were serious, so I nodded at it.

"Okay. Good luck."

That's what I said.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

After the funeral was over, and the process of being my adopted son was over, and the village settled down a lot, Wilfried and Azel traveled.

The Vilfleet

"... Lent, be an adventurer, when you have the strength, come and see me. I honestly don't even know where I'll be in ten years on the boulder, so I can't tell you to come here, because as long as you're alive, you'll be doing adventurers. I'll buy you a drink then."

say and stroke my head, Azel said,

"I'd like to set up my own shop then, too. Visit me if you hear the name of my Chamber of Commerce. Probably doing it under the name Goat Chamber of Commerce. I wish I could create a chamber of commerce."

And I was laughing when I said it in a tone I wasn't sure if it was serious or a joke.

Since most of the pedestrian's goal was to have his own store, that dialogue wasn't strange, either, but Vilfreet looked like he was stunned as he heard it.

"... I don't think we can do it while we're on the road. Lent, maybe not in ten years. Definitely quicker to find me."

He said.

They left the village like that...

And then my, my new life began.

Until then, I stayed home all my spare time and played there.

Occasionally, Jinlin came to call and got caught up in a tree climb and a chamberlain, but that's about it, I spent most of my time indoors.

But since that day, we have a clear goal.

He said he would be an adventurer.

Instead of Jinlin.

Of course, that's not all.

I guess, but I... I wanted to take that demon down.

Running away, take that demon.

Jinlin or that evil wolf with my parents in his hands.

Revenge, or when they say it's not the same again...

I don't know, that wolf, for me, became a symbol of tragedy.

I want to be the kind of person who can smash that.

I thought so.

And I was crossing with that wolf, Wilfried.

He said he was a divine silver adventurer.

So, trying to go for it.

From then on, I began my quest for a divine silver (Mithrill) class adventurer.

Whatever else I did, I decided it would be absolute, and I started training.

That said, the first thing you did was ask people to teach you technology.

Parents...... I asked my righteous parents to teach me how to read, write, and compute letters, and the hunter's old men to teach me how to handle swordfish and bows and arrows.

Ask the old craftsmen to teach you everything.

I also asked my pharmacist grandmother to teach me how to identify plants, including herbs, how to make medicines, and what kind of demons they are.

At first, they all looked at me like they were saying something, but they broke it to me dozens and dozens of times.

At the end of the day, everybody's happy to tell me.

I was desperate, so I never got back, and if I was taught, I learned until I ran out of roots, so maybe I enjoyed being the one who taught.

"Doing that, as we worked hard, ten years went by, and now Lent Fina could do it," that's why.

That's what I said, I finished my memorabilia.
