To Kelm
(I can see the town~) Joule
“”Arrived~””
After meeting with the Battle Eagles, we arrived at the town of Kelm after enjoying gathering and hunting monsters in the forest for a few days .
(Aniue, there are people from now on, aren’t there?) Bolt
(Then, Niisama, this is as far as we can go . ) Feat
(We arrived, huh~ I wanted to run some more, but it can’t be helped~) Vector
(Takumi Nii, call us immediately were something to happen, okay?) Mile
“Thank you, everyone . I will call you again when it’s time to play . ”
Although I told those we are close with about the existence of Joule and others, I did not disclose it to the general public yet, so I decided to thank everyone before returning them to the shadows .
“”See you again~””
(See you soon, Allen, Elena . ) Vector
(Allen-chan, Elena-chan, make sure to be good kids . ) Feat
(Feat, the two are always good kids . ) Bolt
(Oh my, I know that . However, you have to caution them just in case . ) Feat
(That’s true too . Allen, Elena, be careful not to injure yourselves . ) Bolt
(That’s is also important . Also, make sure to take care of your physical condition . ) Feat
(Also, let’s see…) Bolt
(Isn’t that enough already? Allen, Elena, see you again~) Joule
(True! See you again!) Mile
Everyone had words to say to Allen and Elena before returning to the shadows, but Feat and Bolt were especially worried about the children .
“”Onii~chan!””
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“N? What is it?”
“Allen will be fine!”
“Elena will be fine too!”
“Eh?”
“”Will be a good child!””
“Ah! Yes, I know that you guys are good children!”
Allen and Elena must have been concerned about what was said . They insisted that they are “good children” so when I told them that I know, they showed the faces of relief .
“Then, let’s make our way to the town?”
“”Yeah!””
We safely arrived in the town .
I thought there would be many shops selling ores because it was a mining town, but that didn’t seem to be the case as I looked around .
“What’s the matter, brother?”
A gate guard noticed that I was tilting my head in puzzlement and called out to me .
“I thought there would be more blacksmiths around, you see~”
“Oh, so it’s about that? As you thought, there are more blacksmiths here than in ordinary towns . Most of the stores are on the other side of the market in the North . ”
“Heeh~ So it’s divided into districts?”
“Yeah, the blacksmiths are banging on the metals all day, plus the heat is unbearable . ”
“I see, I can fully understand now that you say it . ”
“Right?”
I asked the very easy-to-talk to gate guard about the inn he recommends and where the Adventurer’s Guild is .
“Now then, Allen, Elena . Shall we show our faces at the Adventurer’s Guild first?”
“”Guild~?””
“Yep . Let’s sell some materials we found on the way first . We were requested to by Andy-san, weren’t we?”
Allen and Elena declared “”Will work hard~”” to Andy-san, so they defeated a lot of monsters and gathered many herbs .
“… You are Takumi, aren’t you?”
“N?——Huh? Rudolf-san?”
My name was called immediately after entering the Adventurer’s Guild’s building, so when I looked towards the direction the voice came from, I saw Rudolph-san standing there with a very surprised face .
“Long time no see, Takumi . ”
“It truly has been a while . How are you doing?”
Rudolph-san is A-rank adventurer and a leader of an adventurer party called “Dragon Breath”, he’s someone that accompanied us with the Knights Order on the expedition to the Gaya Forest in Shirin .
Rudolph-san’s party seemed to leave Shirin immediately after the expedition finished, so we had not the opportunity to talk since returning from the expedition . The expedition happened right after I came to this world, so… it’s been more than half a year?
“Ou, I’m good . I heard about it, Takumi . You have become an A-ranker . ”
“It’s all thanks to your support, Rudolph-san . ”
“I saw that you had the ability, after all . ”
When Rudolph-san approached, he patted my head for some reason .
Not Allen or Elena, but me . Why~?
“W, wait, Rudolph-san, we are gathering a lot of attention on us~…”
The deed of Rudolph-san patting a stranger man’s (adult) head would naturally attract the attention of the adventurers inside the guild . Of course, the guild staff also stared at us with shocked expressions .
“N? Ah, don’t mind it . ”
Although I tried to tell Rudolph-san to stop patting my head in a roundabout way, he didn’t stop .
Don’t mind it, he said!! Nono, you would normally mind it, right? Once you become A-ranker, do you stop minding other people’s gazes!?
“Rudolph-san, what are you doi…——Oh my, Takumi-san?”
There, a member of Rudolph-san’s party came over… Iris-san, was it?
“Zack, Gilm, this is great! Takumi-san is here!”
And then, Iris-san noticed me and called the other two members of the party in a loud voice .
“What did you say, Iris? Who is Takumi again?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oi, oi, Zack, was that supposed to be a joke? To forget such an impressive person, just how dull is that head of yours?”
“Shuddup, Gilm!——Huh, so it’s this Takumi! There’s no way I would forget a fellow like that . I just couldn’t remember his name, that’s all!”
All of Rudolph-san’s party gathered and it became lively at once .
“Gee~ you two are too loud . Err… You are Allen-kun and Elena-chan, right? How have you been? Do you still remember me?”
“”Yea . ””
“”Onee~chan . ””
“Who . ”
“Healed us . ”
“Yeah, yeah . I am glad you still remember~”
“Not good . ”
“At cooking . ”
“”Onee~chan . ””
“……”
“””Puh…”””
It seems that Allen and Elena remember even the bad things as they properly reported .
Iris-san was silenced by the children’s words while Rudolph-san, Zack-san, and Gilm-san were laughing with their faces averted .
“T, the pipsqueaks have a wonderful memory, don’t they~”
“Geez~ Allen-kun, Elena-chan! You can forget that part!”
“”Forget~?””
“Yes! Forget it!”
“”N~… might not be possible~?””
“Eehhh!?”
“””Puh . ”””
Iris-san was at a loss for words because of the children and Rudolph-san and the other two burst into laughter .
