- Leanbell viewpoint -

My name is Leanne Bell, 19 years old.

In his ninth year in Freesia, he started as the guild's receptionist.

I could only work in the guild from the age of 15, but I got hired specially at the age of 10.

So I'm a veteran receptionist.

A cute boy came to me like that.

You must have gotten lost with your accompanying mom.

He walks slowly with his small hands and feet, his young face, and his small stride.

How cute! My heart is healed!

If you're for such a pretty girl, your sister will do her best.

"Oh, um..."

"Hehe, where did I come from ~? Are you lost?

Your sister's going to look for you with your mother, so can I have your name?

Uh, that's cute.

Because your sister will give it back to your mom properly.

"Uh, I'd like to register as an adventurer."

"Huh? Oh, really, excuse me.

Adventurer registration starts at 10......?

Embarrassing, I wasn't lost.

"I'm 10 years old, how old did you look to your sister?

"I thought I was about 8 years old because I was just looking at my uncle with a scary face.

Because a pretty girl like you won't come here. "

"Look from your sister. Am I cute?

"Yeah, she's so cute."

That's not normal.

I want you to look in the mirror at your cuteness before you ask.

Everything's adorable. Everything's adorable.

It's so cute that I've said it twice because it's important.

... I wonder what you're thinking, I am.

Let's stick together. Let's get to work.

While this cute girl heals me.

- In a few hours--

Even when it got dark around, that kid didn't come back.

I even promised to go back before dark...

I guess I should have let you stop exorcising goblins.

But I can't do any other requests to a little kid who only has skills in the item box.

If you even remembered one of the magic, you might have managed.

If that kid had been knocked down by goblins......

Though I didn't have a request to be able to guide me, it's distressing.

Yeah, we haven't decided yet.

Let's hope you're okay.

Though I think so, reality is cruel.

It's almost time to close the guild.

I'll leave the reception to Marl and start cleaning up after him.

You've had a depressing day.

"Senior Bell, Senior Bell"

"Hmm? What's going on?

"There's a boy at the reception calling about a senior."

It's that girl! Good, you're back safe.

You shouldn't have broken your promise to your sister.

I forgive you for being so cute.

One more finger-cut with your sister, and now it's time for you to keep your word.

"Did the goblins crusade properly?

"Yes, I have 10 goblins and 2 wolves in the item box."

Did you take down two Wolves? That's not true, right?

Because he's an E-rank monster and a fast-moving demon.

Even an e-rank adventurer gets hurt when he's caught off guard.

You're mistaken for something.

Or are you looking good because you want to be praised by your sister?

That kind of place is going to look cute again with one step.

... I didn't know it was true.

I can't believe the little kid came home at night from the first day and recklessly exorcised Wolf.

Your sister's a pump, isn't she?

'Cause I'm gonna be mad at you for thinking about this girl!

I gave a little sermon and got depressed with a shuuuuuuuuuu face.

Oh, that's cute.

What a sloppy kid.

I didn't want this kid to hate me, so I'll be patient and cut to anger in 10 minutes.

Yet......,

"Eh. I'm not looking for a place to stay, but I can still stay..."

"Already! You have to think about what's ahead and act on it, don't you?

Why are you so late... "

I'm just a kid, so I might have no choice but to think about it later.

But I got mad at you for being so cute.

I wonder if they think I'm an angry person......

Finding a place to stay now is difficult if you are a child.

There are many drunks, and they risk being kidnapped.

I have an item box, so I won't be able to deal with it when something happens.

No matter how cute you are, you can't stay in my house.

So, but... if you don't have a place to stay...

"Belle, when you get angry, it's a long time, so you have to be careful, okay?

"Wow, Senior Acorn! Don't freak me out.

I'm mad about this girl!

Bi, I'm surprised! I thought my heart would stop.

I wonder why you're thinking weird again.

I wonder if I'm tired.

Senior Acorn suggested to us that the guild rest room could not be used.

Go to Gilmouth to get Gilmouth's permission.

"Gilmouth, I need to talk to you for a second."

"Hmm? What's up?

"An adventurer. A kid who just signed up has no place to stay.

So can't I borrow the guild's break room?

"Why do we need to bother renting out the break room?

Why don't we go look for him now? "

"That's the 10-year-old boy.

You can't let a child look for you from this hour on.

I have an item box, so I don't think I can handle it when something happens. "

"Have an item box! That's unusual.

Then let him use the break room.

It would be easy to get into trouble too, so be as careful as you can see.

If anything happens, report it to me. "

"Okay."

I went back to that kid and led him through the guild's break room.

I'll sprinkle you with one piece of bread I was going to have for dinner at night.

I knew I hadn't eaten anything, and I received it with regret.

I gave you bread, so forgive me for being angry earlier.

Your sister is moving with a gentle heart.

Maybe I don't have the money to just buy bread.

At the age of 10, when you work as an adventurer, you decide to translate.

But fortunately, I have an item box.

I think if high rank adventurers pick it up, this kid can live a wealthy life, too.

It's a valuable and useful skill, and this kid is adorable.

I'm worried it might be a snatch.

It's said to be a beginner's city, but a tough world for a 10-year-old to continue his adventurer on his own.

I've been working since I was 10 in the same way. I know very well.

Gilmouth told me to be careful.

If that's the case, you can't help it, as an Alliance employee, you can't disobey Gilmouth's instructions.

As long as you work hard as an adventurer, I'll take care of you.

After all, you're a veteran receptionist.

Beh, nothing. You don't want to be alone with your little girl, do you? Is that true?

I don't really want to take it home or anything.

I want to sit on my lap and stroke my head, and I don't even think about it.

I don't even want to see her sleep and be healed.

I'm a veteran receptionist. I've never confused public or private life.

So, but it doesn't even seem like breakfast, does it?

It's also the receptionist's job to care about adventurers.

I'll buy you breakfast tomorrow morning, and I'll have it with you.

One, one, and then I might even look at you sleeping.

- The next morning...

I headed to the bakery first thing in the morning.

I just woke up half an hour earlier than usual but I sleep too much.

I should have washed my face, too, but my eyes are shivering and I can't help it.

Absolutely look at your sleeping face and be healed.

When we got to the guild, we headed to the break room at first sight.

Open the door softly so as not to wake you.

Is that it? I'm awake...

Apparently, she woke up in Gilmouth morning practice.

I can't believe I missed the chance to see this kid's face asleep. He said if I missed today, there wouldn't be any more!

I resent Gilmouth.

But we could have breakfast together.

With a small hand and a small mouth, eating the bread I bought with a mog.

How cute. I want to be bread, too.

Hey, what are you thinking, I am!

I wonder how long I've liked kids. That's crazy.

Let's take paid leave once in a while......

At the end of breakfast, the three of us joined Marr, who had been at work, to talk.

Looks like Marl cares about this kid too.

Suddenly a pinch arrives.

Angry me and naive Marl.

Ugh... I don't see a winner.

Please don't take this girl away from me.

I'm looking for healing.

When he left, he reconfirmed 'coming home early' and 'taking the inn'.

That's all I said, you're coming home early today.

- That evening -

No more..., that kid won't be back again.

Your sister's a dick!

Why don't you have a special sister sit at the reception and pick you up?

Gilmouth tells me to watch out for him.

I'm sure he'll be back at the same time as yesterday.

That kid is back in critical time after all.

"Mr. Lienbell, I'm back now.

You're brighter than yesterday!

"Huh, excuse me."

"I'm sorry."

I don't know why I make you worry so much about your sister.

Besides, now you've brought five Wolves down, haven't you?

He said while protecting the girl!

It's too early to ask you to escort me.

Even if it was an emergency, your sister would be angry.

Because an impotent child needs a drink.

...... I've been so angry for half an hour by accident.

I'm just reflecting that I was too angry.

Ugh, don't they hate you?

I'm telling you, I'm thinking about this kid, so you're telling it right, right?

You're not going to Marl's reception tomorrow, are you? Sister, you're gonna cry, aren't you?
