83 80 stories. Sad because it's sweet.

"Ivy, it's a different story..."

"... eh, yes. What is it?

Voices, trembling. Didn't you hear me?

I peek into Mr. Ratlua's face, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Surely the purpose of the journey was the town next to the king's capital, wasn't it?

"Yes."

"How long has it been decided to go there?

"No, I haven't decided"

"If so, why don't you spend the time in this town? Ah, leave the current problem aside for a moment."

"... uh..."

"I had a new system in my guild about a year ago. Parental representation system. It's to protect the children who are running away from their parents and the children who lost their parents in the guild. Because children without parents are being targeted by a variety of organizations. Besides, in the guild's system so far, it has been very vulnerable to blood-connected parents. That's the system to make it up to. If you set up a parental representation, information will never flow, even if the parents are looking"

Wow.

Adventurer Guild is something more than I thought.

But...

"If you sign up for the guild, you can choose a safe job. If anything happens, I can get them to protect me in the guild. Well, this registration requires a one-year period to prove that the parent surrogate didn't just lend his name."

It makes me sad that my heart is warm and at the same time unable to respond to the serious face of Mr. Ratlua, who speaks with his eyes firmly together.

If you get distracted, you're going to have zero tears.

"If you sign up for the guild, you can choose a safe job, and if you work hard, you earn a steady income. It also serves as a guarantee of identity. You can join the team, you can make it. Why don't you think about it?

…………

"I want you to join our team. But Sayserk said that Ivy's personality would make him do it with care. But can't you?

Shake your head to the side and show your will.

And be careful not to let your voice tremble.

"Because it will be a leg wrap. And where the top adventurers go, I shouldn't. I can't even protect myself."

"Ugh, can't you just stay in town when you say that... Make me pay extra attention."

"Excuse me. But I'm glad you asked me out"

"Seiselk and Borolda told me not to talk to you because it's just going to get Ivy in trouble. Because it's my fault. You're in trouble, I'm sorry."

Laugh and shake your head to the side.

I'm in trouble, but I'm very happy.

Besides, it conveys a great deal about me.

But I can't sign up for an Alliance that requires me to record my skills.

Absolutely.

"Thank you. It's not a quick journey, but I'm not going to stay anywhere."

If you don't have to worry about your skills, I'm sure you'll jump right at it.

But I can't.

The church I saw earlier.

There was a man dressed as a priest.

The moment I saw the person, the tremor that ran all over my body.

Words screamed by priests who saw my skills ran through my head.

"No way, there's an abominable child who blasphemes God!!...... why are you inside the church! There's a filthy man who's not even worth living!

I can't forget that scream.

My shivering father looked confused, then sad... and the last thing I saw was a look close to hatred.

My father valued the Church's teachings very much.

I wonder if it's because of my memory of the previous one. Sometimes it seemed a little unusual to me when I was young.

I guess that's why the priest refused to allow me to exist.

Just enough to cut me off.

"Oh well. Can't you? But I need you to think about it for a second."

Mr. Ratlua's kindness is delightful and sad.

My voice was about to tremble, so I managed to make a smile and nod.

Grip the basket containing the washed clothes all the way in.

I'm fine.

Speak with your heart the words that have been repeated many times.

I'm fine.

When I returned to the square and turned my gaze towards the tent, my legs stopped at being in sight.

Mr. Ratlua noticed, too, and the two of us looked at each other.

Next to our tent, Mr. Meera is smiling and waving.

Next to that, there are two adventurous people I don't know.

I didn't think you'd make contact so soon.

It's a little uncomfortable considering the organization I was hearing about.

Could there be something wrong with the organization?

... the control that says it failed, did it hit a little or something?

I don't have time to think about anything else.

I don't know what you're going to do, so I need to keep you distracted.

"Are you okay?"

"Absolutely."

For some reason, Mr. Ratlua has a more nervous vibe.

That makes me laugh at something funny.

In response to that voice, Mr. Ratlua laughed, too.

Take a small, deep breath and head to the tent where Mr. Meera and the others are waiting.

"Ivy, long time no see"

I could turn a natural smile on Meera with a smile.

Good.

"Long time no see"

"Hey, it's been two days."

"I did. I told her about Ivy today, and she brought a friend who wanted to see me."

"Friends......"

Do you want to see me?

Turn your gaze to the two people next to Mr. Meera.

"Nice to meet you, Kara."

"Hi, I'm Luiselia. I missed you because Meera would brag about Ivy. Sorry, suddenly."

"No, uh, bragging?

Somehow, I don't feel like I can put you on Mr. Meera's pace.

I'd like to talk to you a little more calmly so you don't fail.

Mm-hmm. Okay.

"Uh, I'll make you a cup of tea, so wait"

"Nice. Ivy, nice to meet you."

Mr. Ratlua matched me right away.

"Yes, yes. Ivy's tea is delicious."

Looks like Mr. Meera got into the conversation, too.

I'll make sure Mr. Meera and the others are seated in the chair, and then I'll go get the tea leaves for the tent.

Out of the tent, Mr. Ratlua was finishing preparing the fire.

Water is also added to the pan.

"Thank you"

"Mm-hmm. Fine."

Mr. Ratlua has also prepared a glass for me.

You're very handy.

Add tea leaves to boiling water and steam slightly.

Pour tea into a cup and prepare my share with the three waiting and Mr. Ratlua.

"Thank you for waiting"

"Thanks"

"Ah, it smells really good"

"Right!"

Mr. Luiselia seems to enjoy the smell of tea.

Mr. Kara is drinking quietly.

"Ivy, what are you doing tomorrow or something?

"Tomorrow?

"Yes, why don't we go have some sweetness together?

"Like ~"

"Hey, I didn't ask Rutlua,"

"Isn't it awful to ignore me knowing I like sweetness?

"Eh."

Mr. Meera looks unfaithful.

If I didn't know anything, I'd stand out for my cuteness because I'm a beautiful person.

From me, it's horrible.

"We should all go."

Kara embarrasses Meera with a quiet voice.

"Yes, but"

"All right, decision! Tomorrow we'll go to 'Floflo' or 'Amarokal'"

"What, why those two exclusives!

"I introduced Ivy to town today, and that's when you were talking about going,"

I'm not talking about that at all.

But I guess there's a reason.

"Yes."

"Eh, I recommend 'Mommy Loco' or something,"

"Mommy Rocco is fine, but you haven't got a new one."

"... well, yeah"

Is that it?

Something was a little crazy right now, Mr. Meera.

Is it your fault?

"Already! Anywhere!

All of a sudden, Mr. Luiselia, he shouts out loud.

Surprised.

What is it?

"Then tomorrow it's" Floflo "or" Amarocal ". The day after tomorrow is' Mama Loco '"

"Right. Let's do that."

I knew it was something...... is it your fault?

Or is there something in there called "Mommy Loco"?

Still, I feel kind of in a hurry.

Both Mr. Seiselk and Mr. Borolda said the organization was good at intelligence.

No, I don't get the impression.

Don't get me nervous.
