I want to be an adventurer with my master!"
One day.
One day, while I was doing paperwork in my office at the lowest level of the "Nadir," Nazna came to visit me.
Mei asked her what she wanted, but she insisted, "I came to ask a favor from my master.
So I listened to her for the time being, and the line I just mentioned jumped out at me.
I let out a faint giggle at this request, and May lets out a light sigh.
I turned to Nazuna and asked her again.
What's wrong? I thought I had asked her to protect the lowest level of the Abyss while I was gone.
Of course, guarding the lowest level of the "Abyss" entrusted to me by my master is an important job! But I also want to have the kind of adventure that Nemmu was talking about, with my master!
Nazna's eyes sparkle as she tells her story.
When I asked her more specifically about "what Nemumu was talking about," she answered with a smile.
Just a few days ago, when Nazna went to the store to buy some snacks, she saw Nemmu standing in the corner of the corridor, talking about my adventuring activities on earth at the behest of the fairy maids on their day off.
Nazuna was intrigued by the content and wandered over to join in the conversation without buying any sweets.
Because of his high level of interest and the fact that Nazuna had approached him out of sight so as not to interrupt the conversation, Nemmu did not notice and continued to talk eloquently about his adventuring activities on earth.
As she was telling them about the glamorous aspects of being an adventurer for the amusement of the fairy maids, she seemed to have captured the heart of Nazuna, who was listening to the story with her eyes off the screen, and made her think, "I want to be an adventurer with my master on earth too. I heard that he became
Unable to resist, he knew I was in my office doing paperwork, so he went to me directly to ask for my opinion.
This is how the story goes.
The girls are at ......
After hearing the whole story, May held her forehead with one hand as if she had a headache.
But as for me, I rather sympathize with Nazna's behavior.
(When I was a child living in the countryside, I longed for the city in vain. ...... I left the village to avoid inconveniencing my family, but I remember I also had a little bit of a desire to live a glamorous life in the city.)
I miss the past.
I dreamed that if I went to the city, I could lead a glamorous life even as a countryman.
As a result, I was racially discriminated against in the adventurer's guild, lived in extreme poverty without a decent job, and finally was almost killed deep in a dungeon after being tricked by a "gathering of the races" party. ......
Nazna's figure overlaps with my own before I went to the city.
(I'm not sure how to get Nazna to the surface, though. I can't make this all happen, no matter how much she asks. ......)
It's not that I don't like Nazna, and it's not that I 'can't be an adventurer with her.
On the ground, there is a lot of racial discrimination, and we need to be resourceful in dealing with any sudden problems that may arise.
I can't say for sure that Nazna, with her straightforward personality, can handle it, and she is level 9999.
A single city could suffer serious and fatal injuries and numerous deaths just by a bad outburst.
(That said, it would be pitiful to dismiss her without question. ......)
It was difficult to reject her, as she was looking forward to being an adventurer with me on earth with her big sparkling eyes.
While I was hesitating, Mei opened her mouth first.
Nazna, I can't let you become an adventurer. Not only would it be a drag on Master Light, but I don't know how much damage you could do if you were to go out of control on the ground.
I can go easy on you, too!
You can't have it both ways. Listen to me.
No, no, no, no! I'm going to be an adventurer with my master!
May disagrees with her head on, and Nazuna shouts out in a stubborn voice.
She is about to lie on her back on the floor and flail her arms and legs.
Frankly, the interaction between Mei and Nazuna was like that of a parent and child, and I personally found it hilarious.
But I can't just stand there and watch forever.
I cleared my throat and gathered their gazes.
May has a valid point. We don't know what kind of problems will arise on the ground. If Nazna, who is too strong, makes the mistake of going easy on us and hurts innocent people, we will have a big problem.
Ugh. ......"
Nazna shrugs at my statement.
She became depressed at the thought that her opinion would be dismissed.
I continued my story.
I continued, "But even Nazna wouldn't be convinced if she were told that her opinion would be dismissed out of hand, would she? Then why don't we do a test?"
A test?"
May asks with a tilt of her head.
Yes, a test. We can test Nazna in advance to see if she can really make it as an adventurer on earth. If she passes the test, Mei will be able to send her back to the surface with peace of mind, won't she?
It certainly makes sense. ......
............"
Nazna silently looks up at May, the light returning to her eyes again.
It seems that May could not resist these expectant eyes, and she reluctantly agreed.
I'm sorry," she said. If Nazna passes the test, I will see her off to earth without a word.
Yay! I will do my best to pass the test and become an adventurer with my master!"
Nazna innocently raises her hands and expresses her joy with her whole body.
May also smiles happily at her joy, but then makes a face as if to say, 'I'm still worried.
If Nazna passes and goes on the ground as an adventurer, what kind of problems will she cause ......?
Just imagining it must have given her a headache.
Personally, I can understand May's feelings, too, .......
(Probably because of Nazna: ......)
For my part, I made these suggestions because I have some idea of what to expect from this one.
It will not be as bad as May imagines.
Thus began Nazna's "Adventurer's Examination.
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Nazna's "Adventurer's Test" was first held in the multipurpose space at the lowest level of the "Abyss.
The lowest level of the "abyss," the multipurpose space, is a place that has not yet been touched.
Rather than completely developing the lowest level of the "abyss," it would be easier to deal with emergencies by creating a certain amount of untouched space.
If the number of people increases, it can be used as a residential space.
It could also be used as a field for food production.
In some cases, it could be developed as a recreational facility.
It is a place with such a high degree of freedom.
This time, with everyone's help, we made it the site of Nazna's "Adventurer's Examination.
With Ellie's help, we remodeled the interior to look like the inside of an adventurers' guild room.
We asked fairy maids and Mohicans who work on the ground to participate as receptionists and other adventurers.
At first glance, it really looks like an "Adventurers' Guild" on the ground.
I explain the rules.
I'll be your examiner and adventurer partner. Let's actually go through the process of registering as adventurers and accepting and accomplishing common quests.
All right, master!"
I call out to Nazna, who is standing next to me in her dark adventurer's outfit, the one she wears on the ground.
She, too, is in full armor with a large sword on her back, and her spirits are high.
At the edge of the Adventurers' Guild, Ellie, who has been working on the building and interior design, is playing the role of an adventurer and looking at Nazna with concern.
Nazna is in a good mood from start to finish, perhaps oblivious to her gaze.
Nazna was in a good mood the whole time, perhaps oblivious to Ellie's gaze.
Oh, I'll do my best!"
Nazna replied cheerfully.
Once we were outside the building.
Once inside, the test would begin.
Nazna steps lightly and triumphantly into the Adventurers' Guild (fake).
I followed her.
Inside the Adventurers' Guild (fake), there were adventurers (fairy maids who pretended to be adventurers), and party members were conversing with each other.
Perhaps because of this, the atmosphere was quite similar to that of an adventurers' guild on the ground.
I took Nazuna to the counter.
Nazna, this is where you register as an adventurer.
If I complete my adventurer registration here, I'll be an adventurer with my master!"
(You didn't forget it's just a test, did you?)
Nazna's eyes sparkle, as if she is happy to be an adventurer with me.
However, this is only an examination, more like an informal plaything. ......
I'm a little worried that she forgot that.
'Gahahahaha! Hey, look. That kid's gonna be an adventurer!"
Bokkies, this is not a playground!
'You kids go home and suck on your mama's titties. You human (inferior) brats!"
Mohicans yell at us like adventurers on earth.
The Mohicans are a race, but this time, because it was a test, they were asked to say things that other species might say. ......
"Hey, who's this? Who insulted not only me, but also my master. ......
Nazna lowered her voice and stared in the direction from which the yajis flew.
That alone made the temperature in the room feel chilly, as if it had physically dropped.
The Mohicans who had been yajacked, even though it was an act, turned pale as if all their blood had been drained out of them in an instant.
I hurried to stop her.
'Nazna, calm down! This was an exam, and I just got yelled at as an act!"
But Master! No matter how much of an act it is, you can't call your master a 'human (inferior species)'. ......!
Nazna ...... 'Human (inferior) kid' is just a greeting for the races on earth."
Yeah. ......"
Nazna's anger fizzles out at my statement, and she is a donkey.
She can't believe it, or asks back.
She says, "I heard that race is indeed discriminated against on earth, but to be suddenly mocked by a complete stranger as a 'human (inferior)' or something like that, I think that's a bit rude. ......"
I understand what Nazna is trying to say, but it's true."
To a perplexed Nazna, the Mohicans, who are active as adventurers on the ground, told her more facts.
Nazna-sama, it is still better to be called 'human (inferior species)' with your mouth.
In some cases, I've been told by the Adventurers' Guild, 'There's no way a human (inferior species) can be a proper adventurer. If you want to be an adventurer, you have to defeat me.
Oh, there are sometimes, aren't there? "Oh, there are those guys. I was lucky enough not to run into them.
To become an adventurer, one must visit a guild and register as an adventurer, but there are rare cases in which an old, but not well respected adventurer interferes with those who wish to become adventurers before registration.
In such cases, it was considered a good idea to give up the registration and start over.
Sometimes young people from the countryside would challenge the competition, get beaten up, and have their hearts broken a few times a year.
Nazna tilted her head when she heard this story.
He said, "You mean ...... that you can do that? Because isn't it obstruction of business if you're not an employee of the Adventurers' Guild and you take the liberty of sorting? Above all, can't an adventurer get caught messing with civilians?"
Oh, yeah, normally that would be the case, but when you're dealing with racial ......
I see." Most of the time, it is the other species that prevents racial adventurers from registering. ...... The guilds and security soldiers are usually silent about it. ......
Me and the Mohicans let out a self-deprecating laugh.
From the perspective of the Adventurers' Guild, race is not that useful, so they don't really care if a few are disturbed and registration is slightly reduced.
The security guards are not taken seriously, either, unless there is a major incident, because in other countries, the security guards are of a different race and racism is at the root.
Even if you sue someone for interfering with your registration as an adventurer, you will probably end up being blackmailed and told, "Don't sue for every little thing like that.
Yeah. ......
Our response causes Nazna to donk again.
We could see her "yearning to be an adventurer" rapidly shrinking.
