Clean morning. A gentle light plunges into the room through the light-picking window on the wall. In one of the rooms in that temple, there was the figure of Clark, the chief cleric, who waited for people as he did his morning paperwork.
In that quiet space, the sound of cones and knocks echoes.
"Come in."
The door opened to Clark's voice saying so, and there came a snack and Rachel into the room. The face is nagging like a scolded child, unconsciously or unconsciously shaking the front of the clergy clothes with both hands. Clark manages to almost spill a grin on his face as if it were the first time he came to this temple.
And when I coughed gently, I said in a tone of blame just a little bit.
"Do you have anything to say?
Rachel reacts piquely to Clark's voice.
Rachel came home drinking last night. It's not forbidden to drink alcohol, but Rachel came home after being muddled by Ms Melinda, an Alliance official. Even though I had asked her and Greg to do something about Rachel before, I didn't expect her to come home busted. I was briefly briefed by Melinda on how this happened, and she pushed me just in case you didn't scold me, but Clark didn't intend to do it originally. Speaking of sleeping faces, it's been a while since I've seen Rachel smile so happy. Clark thanked Melinda again and put Rachel to bed in her room. Clark, who cares about high levels, was still that old before breakfast.
And after a comfortable sleep, the night dawns, and it is Rachel's condition now that she is admirably reflecting on herself when she realizes her lapse. I proceeded to the center of the room with an aunt in Clark's voice, and said in a fine voice.
"I'm sorry."
Mindful that she was the clergyman's granddaughter, Rachel even had other manners to talk to when Clark and I were alone. But that Rachel doesn't say, "I'm sorry," she says, "I'm sorry," she apologizes like a child. That was like a relationship between a normal grandfather and granddaughter everywhere, and it felt comfortable to Clark as if he'd gone back in time.
"Pfft."
However, Clark finally blows out intolerably at that young age, which has a huge gap with normal.
And keep pushing your voice and killing it, but keep laughing.
"Don't you have to laugh so much"
Rachel, who tells you to be obstinate. I almost get invited to laugh by accident again, but I'm sorry about the conversation, so I manage to put up with it. I don't know what happened in the two-day course, but Clark thought the experience would have had a good impact on Rachel.
"You seem to be reflecting. You can't repeat the same thing this time, can you?
"Yes, I'm sorry"
Laughing gently and Clark saying so, Rachel went back to her usual other demeanor tone. But it's boring as it is. Clark asked brightly, in as rough a tone as possible, as he recommended his pretty granddaughter to sit in the chair.
"So, did you enjoy the course?
"Yes! I had a cup of company. I learned, and Mr. Jin was amazing!
I guess I couldn't wait to talk to you. Rachel talks with a full smile.
My colleagues who took the course with me. Internship for a variety of purposes. Dinner we all talked about and a look out for our first experience. Jin's preparatory movement. Instruction of gin. Gin strength. The gin......
Clark listens to Rachel as she stirs up a laugh, saying that she's getting more and more specific about Gin's story. Again, as expected, Jin seems to be not only an adventurer, but also a person inside. Suddenly I was surprised that Rachel talked to Jin about shelter or applied for a party, but I guess Jin had the peace of mind to just let him do so. I also feel a little early, but Clark has no objection to that decision either.
I broke up with my parents, who are clerics in another city, and Rachel came to this temple eight years ago. My parents kept it for themselves because of the shelter, but Rachel would have missed her parents. Rachel, who was still young and innocent when she was just here, was also too concerned about her position as the clergyman's granddaughter and her smile gradually disappeared. Ever since I became aware of the protection, I've felt alienated, which I guess accelerated. When did you two turn into "Cleric Chiefs" when you used to call me "Grandpa"? Seriously I couldn't help but lose my mind and worked twice as hard on my workouts. The mere fact that such impossibility was trying to take the form of a dependence on God was almost frightening to Clark. But Rachel, who was so stuck, is now losing her shoulder strength and smiling naturally. Members of the Alliance, of course, cannot thank Jin in particular. Yes, Clark thought.
"Sounds like Rachel loves Mr. Jin, doesn't she?
Clark smiled briskly and asked this lovely granddaughter a question. But Clark's anticipation that he would show a cute reaction such as blushing fell off, and Rachel thought in surprise as she had first noticed when she was told. As Clark questioned the reaction, Rachel, who raised her face, now said she looked a little embarrassed.
"Kind of relieves me that Mr. Jin is like your grandfather."
Parent (grandfather) For Clark, who has something stupid, it was a killing complaint with no more. Clark decided he absolutely had to thank Jin for putting me back in such a cute granddaughter.
And for some time afterwards, he enjoyed a granddaughter-like conversation with his grandfather, whom he would meet for a long time.
The sun dazzles the day. There was an adventurer who still worked in training today on the guild's athletic field. In that corner, the Rin Beauty of Wolf Ears concentrates and pulls her bow. The arrow, released from a bow that squeezed to its limit, pierced the center of the target without a mistake.
"Brilliant. It's been a long time since you've decided in the middle. Remember that feeling." "
It was Melinda who said that, and Elsa, of course, who was told that.
"Thank you"
"Yeah, let's take a break then"
That's what Melinda takes off her seat. Elsa also casually looked over at the athletic field when she took the towel out of the bag and wiped the sweat.
"You don't seem to be here today."
That's when Elsa realizes who she was unconsciously looking for. And it reminds me of yesterday's launch.
Elsa was interested in gin since the first time she saw gin in the inn courtyard. I remember watching Jin make strange moves and wondering what he was doing. The next person I see is the guild's athletic field. I was able to talk to you there for the first time. He taught me the idea of a precious preparatory exercise at all costs, but I remember how hard that polite physical waist was.
Jin is a weird guy if you think about it. I don't look at myself like the other men, or steal from them so they don't notice me. A lot of times I don't know you like a beginner adventurer, but sometimes this one shows off some amazing knowledge. Extremely, I've been an adventurer for a week or so, and they say they have the strength to defeat mutant species by themselves.
For some reason, I felt like I wasn't the only one since I first met him, but now that I've been defeated by one mutant, I've lost my strength. Is that why? Who invited Jin to the party yesterday?
"Phew."
Elsa accidentally spills a grin remembering yesterday's interaction with Rachel. There was no way I could deal with someone like that. Sure, I was drunk, but I can't believe I did that myself.
Think back on your bold actions such as pushing Gin's face against your chest, Elsa, whose face turns a little red. Shake your head and scatter the idea.
"You didn't tell him, but you asked him out on your own."
If you're going to throw a party, it's best to talk to your partner who's temporarily away before telling Jin. But I got ahead of myself and spoke up.
Is that because you saw the power of gin to defeat mutant species? Because Jin trusted me not to look at her as a woman? Because you admired the depth of that nostalgia that makes sense, regardless of gin's money? Or was it a shallow idea to secure it for now before someone else took it?
"Wow, I'll be back soon."
Cover her face with both hands, Elsa gets bored. It's hard not to completely deny your shallowness.
Elsa invited Jin to a party. What's at its root? Some of the emotions that became one of those cuts are not big enough, and Elsa is not aware of them yet.
"What are you doing, Elsa?"
It's Melinda who's back. Somewhere I get a bad grin from someone who reminds me of Greg of what I thought of Elsa trying to mislead me.
"Ha-ha. It was yesterday, wasn't it?
Elsa reacts with a pickle.
"That was fun, wasn't it? Launch"
"Gin, too."
"You were inviting me to a party."
"Give me a big hug."
That's how Elsa responds to Melinda's inquiry, all at once. Melinda really enjoys making fun of Elsa like that.
"You like it."
And that's what Melinda says with the intention of stopping it.
"What?"
"Huh?"
The former is Elsa and the latter is Melinda.
"No, nothing. I don't like gin or anything like that, do I?
Elsa answers with a sober voice. An unexpected answer for Melinda, of course. I don't even have a voice in the exact empty air of a word I let go with the intention of burning.
"Jin and I invited her because she and I are friends. I do think he stands on his arm, he's smart, he's got a big vessel, and he's got a good personality. I got a little ahead of myself, but I don't think there's any other guy like that, so I can't help it. I think maybe my partner will like it, and they won't leave the others alone. Yes, that's why I have no choice. I asked her out. Yes, it is!
At the end of the day, it's a theory of strength that solidifies the grip. I don't know who you're telling me, and if you listen carefully, it sounds like a curse. In the meantime, Melinda decides to put her judgment on hold and change the way she strikes.
If we're partying without romantic feelings, we've never been over it.
"Then you too, Jin, must acquire the strength you deserve."
Elsa can't give it back to Melinda's remarks and gets stuck in words.
"I don't think it's a mistake that you picked a bow to work out, but finish that today. That's enough foundation. Brush it in action next, and grow your strengths as well. That's all you've got, isn't it?
That's right. Make a breakthrough on my pretty goddaughter.
I haven't been blessed with a party yet, for this cute godchild.
Reminds me of myself before I met Greg and the others, to this promising godchild.
And with potential beyond my past self, to this best friend's beloved daughter.
Melinda sends Yale with all her heart.
"You could make it. Good luck."
"Yes!"
I feel the seriousness of Melinda and Elsa also replies with determination.
"Then it's your last training. Brush it well until time."
"Yes!"
That's how Elsa sets the bow again. Melinda's gaze at that Elsa is harsh and gentle.
"(Jin, you can take care of Elsa. Be prepared because I won't let you get away with it)"
Will Melinda's voice, whining so heartily, reach far away Jin? I'm not sure if Jin felt anything at that time.
Evening when the sun dyes the earth red. The Adventurer Alliance, where the adventurers who finished their work today returned to the Inn once they were ready for the evening and fewer people. Earlier today, the busy reception service ended, and Aria and the others now mainly do paperwork. Samantha talks to Aria during that spare time she can work while we chat.
"With that said, Jin, you didn't come today."
"Yes."
Aria's answer to the answer is unscrupulous. I don't know if this is because I'm mad at Jin for not showing her face after a beginner course, or because I'm not going to respond to Samantha's teasing.
"With that said, it was yesterday's beginner course launch, and Jin said you were being held by two girls, right?
Stop the paperwork hand pitted at that moment, Aria turning towards Samantha.
He said, "We're not having a party or anything."
Staring niggling at Aria's reaction, Samantha gave out additional information. The truth is that Jin's "I'm not willing to go out with you right now" statement, etc. is also purchased as information, but I'm not willing to say that. Because it doesn't matter to Samantha because it's something she understands and still makes her care.
"So do you organize it?
"No, they're on hold. You think you'll make a formal decision by the time you get to C-rank? Occasionally, they throw extraordinary parties."
Seeing Aria thinking, Samantha supports her from the bottom of her heart. I don't care if the hang-up is in love or whatever. This cute little sister is about to move again. Whatever conclusions Aria might draw, I don't mind if that's a positive one. Even if that means goodbye to Aria, I'm willing to just laugh and support her.
That's how Samantha gently watched Aria, who still thinks with her hands still stopped.
Samantha's thoughts are interrupted by the loud sound of a van.
There was a group of adventurers who opened the door of the guild entrance vigorously and rolled in with the momentum as it stood.
"I made it."
A shortcut girl who looks active says so and leaks a sigh of relief. On the side were boys as old as they were and some of the grown-up kids from Short Bob.
"Look, I'm relieved after I finish the process at the reception. Good luck with that."
It was Jin, the person in question, who was making the breakthrough to the other one, those three.
"Yeah, okay. Then I'll come."
That's how the three come to Samantha. Samantha confirmed that the deadline was today's request for herb collection. For now, Samantha concentrates on reception.
And Jin, on the other hand, smiled briskly and headed straight to Aria.
"Good evening, Mr. Aria. I'm sorry for the criticism, but is a constant request for chilli grass and mel grass processable?
Constant requests are not the same as regular requests, and I'm pretty sure you don't mind ex-post reporting. However, this is my first case, as it was usually a gin that I would report after receiving a request.
"Good evening, Mr. Ginn. I'm fine, but what happened?
Aria asks Jin as she handles the reception. And Jin answers easily, too.
"No, after I went to Mr. Gantz's, I just met them. I only helped collect a little."
Dan pinches his mouth while processing a request to Jin to say so.
"No, that was really helpful. Thank you, Jin. I would never have made it without you."
The deadline was critical and I couldn't overlook them in a hurry, and it was at the end of this time that Jin lent a hand. I led them so they couldn't use [MAP], but of course I didn't simply tell them where. By mastering [sampling], Jin became more aware of the changes, and even gave guidance on how to find herbs to help in the future. It is also true that time has become critical for that matter, but we would not have made it without gin. There's no way Dan and the others wouldn't appreciate it, including Jin's guidance.
"Yeah, because I happened to be going to collect it this time, too. Here we go, here we go. But let's be careful next time."
I see Dan and the others trying not to feel burdened, but thankfully Dan and the others got that care.
"I really appreciate the gin - what would you like to thank me for? You want me to give you a hug like Rachel?
Jin pins lightly on Shelley's forehead, laughing like a prank. Ah, Jin says to Sherry, who holds back the pain and forehead.
"You mustn't let a girl say that. And this is the reception, right? Think of a good place to joke."
"Eh, heh, sorry."
I'm gonna laugh and apologize to Shelly for that. Jin doesn't have a tough face either. Smile bitterly and forgive.
That kind of friendliness was natural for the four Jins, but it was unexpected for Aria and the others.
"You look very close, don't you?
Aria's voice, who hears that, is also upset somewhere.
"Huh? Oh, because you're one of those people I adventured with. Look, Shelly, I want you to apologize to Aria and the others."
Shelly apologizes to Jin for urging her to do so and also making noise to Aria and Samantha. Jin, who nods satisfied to see how it goes, will be closer to his parents than to his companions. That's how it got so noisy. After processing, the four Jins get together and head to the teller. Samantha shrugged like she was tired when she saw how it went.
You can't be alarmed.
"Yes."
It seemed that Aria's voice, who answers whether it was imputed to her youthfulness, was also somewhat tired.
A night of covering and hiding everything in the dark, and healing. In one of the rooms of the Inn, Jin is reading a book at the light of the magic props. That's a book about magic borrowed from Aria. Gin going to go ahead and read it with the intention of getting back the minutes I couldn't read in the beginner's course. I raise my face to take a breath after concentrating and reading for a while, raising my hands wide, stretching my back and relaxing my body.
"With that said, you've finally greeted Aria"
I was supposed to just say hello on my return within yesterday, but it wasn't the right time because Aria was busy at that time. I plan to go to the guild again this morning, but it ended up in the evening because Dan and the others got involved in the request.
"I see you, okay? I really enjoyed it."
Jin laughed and squealed like that, concentrating again on the book. And a few hours before going straight to bed, Jin spent reading.
And each day was thus ended.
