CH 4

"Wait. Keiji, it's better not to do this right now, because you could get hurt."

Shiraishi stopped him. It's a reasonable decision.

"Why are you stopping me? I'm just testing my strength."

"No, it's .......

"If you're going to do it, do it in the open field. And if you're not registered with the guild, you're a civilian. Don't let them get hurt."

A staff member calls out to us from behind the counter as I sit down, but this seems to indicate that fights between adventurers are a regular occurrence.

Good grief.

"Well, kid, I'll wait for you, so get your registration done."

"Mm, okay?"

"Keiji, you really need to stop this. This is not a game, okay?"

Kojima stopped him.

"I know what you mean. But I put all my energy into my muscles, so I'm probably stronger than that old man."

Keiji said. I wonder if he did the same character makeup. If I'm in that setting, well, it's the best character makeup possible, so I can't do much better than that, but... I should have looked at my skills a little more.

I failed.

"No, what are you talking about? No matter how you look at it, he's more powerful than you."

"Well, well, well. Uncle! Is this okay?"

He seemed to have already decided to do so, and showed the application form to the guild employee at the counter.

"Which one, um, Kagoshima? I've never heard of this town, but that's okay. Your handwriting is so dirty. Did you write "Hero" on this?

"Yes!"

"Well, let's rewrite it. I'll change it to "Warrior."

"No, no, I'm a Hero."

"'Even if you did, that's not, how do you say, a profession I can register here. Hero change jobs, too."

"Hmm? Oh, I remember they are saying something like that. Well, that's fine for now."

"Yeah. Okay, just give me a minute."

"Come on, hurry up!"

"Keiji, did you write that in Japanese?"

Kojima asks.

"That's right."

"Mmm, so that's how it works..."

"I can read the characters over here, which is strange. It seems to be different from Japanese. Oh, and what about Erwin?"

"It's probably looks the same as you guys. I mean, you guys are speaking English."

"Huh? I'm speaking Japanese."

"Well, I guess it just sounds like you to me. It's strange, but convenient and helpful."

If that's the case, then I'd better go ahead and register while I'm at it. I'm going to need it anyway.

"Register me, please."

I said to the receptionist who was standing next to the counter, looking bored.

"Then fill this out. You can't put a Hero on registration form. A warrior is fine."

"Can I write down any profession I want?"

"No advanced job profession, but the rest is fine."

"Mmm-hmm."

On the parchment he handed me, I wrote my name, class, hometown, and age.

I chose Erlandt, the name of this royal city, as my birthplace.

"Excuse me, can I register too?"

Shin said.

"Fill this out then."

The other three registered and waited for their cards to be made.

"Here you go, kid."

"You're late. I'm tired of waiting. So this is the adventurer's card, huh? That's cool."

Keiji is happy.

"Well, kid, come out in the open. I'll give you a little adventurer's baptism."

"Oh, great. Take it easy on me!"

"Hmm, hey, do you want me to stop it?"

Shiraishi says to me.

"If you want to stop it, don't. Well, He's not going to kill Keiji."

That's what he said.

"If it looks dangerous, you can go in and stop it, but we can defeat the Demon Lord, right? I think we're strong."

Erwin was naive, but if he had listened carefully to the king, he would have known that the basic premise was to become strong by defeating monsters. And seeing that there are only twenty or so brave men left who are called upon once every few years, we should assume that half of them are probably dead.

"I'm going to have a little look around. Call me when the card is ready."

I told the attendant, and I went out the front.

"All right, Vargas! Teach that hero son of a bitch the ways of this place!"

"Kid, you're a hero, you can't lose!"

Onlookers had already gathered, and things were lively.

"Errr, status open, oh."

Shin says something like that beside me, but then again, the king said that I can call up my status with it.

I can't see Shin's status, so I guess I can call it up too.

"Status open.

I knew it.

That's the status of the character I was making up.

『Charm ☆ Lv 3』 is newly attached, but it seems that that glasses-wearing god kept her promise. But it could have been a bit higher level.

Is this really going to make me popular?

As far as Shiraishi's attitude is concerned, it has zero effect.

"Hm?"

『Charm ☆　Lv 3』

【Description】

For the owner of this skill.

The opposite sex of the same age is strongly attracted to the owner of this skill.

The effect is permanent.

I see. The description skill has been activated. Apparently, all I have to do is focus on it, and it will automatically explain it to me. That's convenient, but the important thing, the charm effect, isn't showing up?

Damn, I thought it's make me popular. That glasses-wearing god.

"Then, here I go!"

"Ha, come on!"

Oops, the battle between Keiji and the adventurer had started.

I turned my attention away from the status, but the status automatically took my will and disappeared. That's convenient.

"[Face Strike]!"

Keiji shouted and lunged, but the adventurer quickly moved to the right and dodged it.

"Ah! Damn it! Move!"

Keiji seemed to be trying to turn his body around, but his body felt stiff. What is it?

"Haha, you idiot. You're too low level to use a skill with such a big gap. Take this!"

The adventurer kicks Keiji in the side.

"Uwoo!"

Keiji rolled over, gurgling with great force.

"It's hurts..."

He seemed to be okay, but he couldn't seem to get up right away.

"Hey! What do you mean, you don't take it easy on a kid!?"

Shiraishi is angry, though.

"Oh? I've gone easy on him, aren't I? If I was serious, I'd have killed him already."

"Muu."

"If you got a problem with me, I'll deal with you. Come at me."

"I'll do it."

"Wait. If you want to go, I'll take your place."

Erwin controlled Shiraishi and stepped forward.

Then he held up his staff. Are you going to use a spell?

"Hmm, a mage, huh. I don't mind, but if you shoot a spell in the street, even the heroes will end up in jail."

"Oh, that's right."

The king told us in his warning. You can't use attack magic in the city.

"So, what are we going to do? You want your little girl to do it?"

"No! I'll fight with my staff."

"Haha, I've been taken for a fool, too."

The adventurer said, and raised his axe.

"Don't! Avoid it!"

As Shiraishi said, a wooden stick would be useless if it took a hit like that. But Erwin was planning to do that from the beginning, and he dodged it well.

"Yes! Whoa!"

Erwin was blown backwards.

What? I'm sure He dodged there.

"That's fast...."

"Let's see who's next!"

You're kidding, I'm not going. Anyway, Keiji started this fight on his own, and I had nothing to do with it.

"That's enough, Vargas. Taking on a level one novice won't make you a name for yourself, it will make you look like a fool."

The slender swordsman said.

"Tsk, so be it. Boy, when you get to the level up, I'll take you on again."

"Damn it, why!? Why is the hero so weak!?"

Keiji shouted in frustration, but this is the reality.

Heroes in this world are not special.

That's the way it is.
