It's been a year since I left my brother
This year, I have been active as an adventurer
Although my brother once told me not to be too showy, but... it doesn't matter.
After all, I was once an A-level adventurer, so I upgraded to an S-level adventurer easily.
Of course, I do commissions, rescue people, kill people, etc. It all depends on my mood.
Well, but I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately
at this moment
Sitting in the adventurer's tavern, feeling the emptiness
It shouldn't be like this
The time I had adventures with my brother... I was very happy
Although my brother always carries out tasks with a straight face, he doesn't joke much when he acts.
But I'm just happy
I understand this is because I love my brother and I am satisfied just being by his side.
"Adventuring alone... is not as fun as I thought..."
I muttered to myself, but a voice responded to me
"Indeed, beautiful lady, it is such a waste for a beauty like you to take risks alone."
I turned to look at the source of the sound
It's the adventurer team
There are three adventurers in the team
The leader is a man with red hair
The man approached me and smiled smugly.
He doesn't think he's handsome like this, does he?
Well...
"I don't form a team..."
If there are some interesting people, you might want to consider teaming up with them.
"No! I'm not here to form a team, I'm here to pursue you, beautiful lady."
"I have a sweetheart"
Get up, I'm ready to leave
What a boring group of people... Such a conversation would happen to me
If my brother were here, I would definitely beat this guy up
Seeing me turn around and leave, he shouted
"Hey! Woman! What's your attitude! Do you know who I am? I'm an A-level adventurer!"
wow
Good standard lines for miscellaneous fish
I didn't look back
"Hmm...?"
Feeling someone pulling on my shoulders
I turned back
"Only your left hand... cut off your left hand, how dare you touch the robe I took from my brother with this dirty hand..."
"What?!"
With one slash of my sword, I cut off the left hand of the man in front of me.
There was silence in the adventurer's tavern
"Ahhhhhhhh!!"
The man was stunned for several seconds and shouted
In front of that man, I used fire magic to burn his arm to ashes
Really...
I'm so lax...
To be encountered by such a person...
"Healing magic! Give me healing magic!!"
The man shouted and asked the magician in the team to treat him
The bleeding has stopped, but his face is already very pale
And around me, a bunch of adventurers gathered around me
It seems that he is unhappy with my actions here.
I just arrived here, so most of the adventurers here don't know me.
Well~ I'm not a brother after all, so I'd better run away at this time.
If it were my brother, I might have killed them all.
Just when I was about to run away, a rough voice came from among them
"Get out of here, everyone."
He's a bald man... and he looks familiar to me
He dispersed all the people around him and said to me
"Is it Aisha?"
"Barn...?"
"Yes! It's really you!"
"How old are you and are you still an adventurer?"
"Can't you get used to an ordinary life?"
Barn
I was an S-class adventurer a long time ago
I looked behind him
two people standing
two women
all young people
"Where are the former teammates?"
"Lodis got married and the other two died"
Lodis...
Ah
The woman who pursued her brother
You're married, that's good
"Died while adventuring?"
"How is it possible, you know my command and strength"
"Then why?"
"You may not be able to tell that I am bald. I am already 58 years old, and they are all old. One of them died of illness, and one of them died in the previous war when he returned to his own country."
"Yeah, I'm sorry."
"Ha! What's there to feel sorry for? They have absolutely no regrets about their lives. They are tired of living and drinking."
As we reminisced, the man who was on the ground stood up
he shouted
"Barn! What are you doing!"
I smiled and said to Barn
"You know him?"
Barn turned around and glanced at that man because of my words
Raise your foot and kick him away
"Go away! Don't disturb me and my old friends!"
Then he turned to face me again and smiled.
"He knew me unilaterally. You may find it funny. After you and your brother left, I became almost the most famous adventurer."
"Yes, this is Holy Country of Millis, and everyone here knows you."
"Yes, I have been enjoying the scenery and adventure all the way from the Ranoa Kingdom to here."
"You? Do you still have such interest?"
"Yeah, I think for adventurers, the word adventure occupies a large proportion. Now when we say adventure, it's more like traveling around the mountains and rivers."
"Do you have the money?"
"During the time when you and your brother were here, I made a lot of money! Hahahaha!"
I looked at the two people behind him
Not too young either...
Probably the same age as my brother
"How about it? Will you go on an adventure with us? It's not about accepting a commission, it's about taking an adventure. Of course, you will also receive some commissions on the way."
"It's not impossible"
"Hahahaha, that's OK. With you here, I feel completely at ease."
Then, Barn started to introduce me to the three members of his team
Sara, the scout, was accepted by Barn after losing his family due to the monster invasion. Now he is still looking for a stable place. He feels that this kind of adventure is interesting, so he will live like this for the time being.
Polina, a magician, simply wanted to take risks, so he followed Barn, because Barn is very famous.
"Sara, Scout"
"Polina, Magician"
"I don't need to introduce myself, right?"
I smiled and said
"How dare you take risks with this lineup without even a single person in the front row?"
"Hahahaha! That's why it's an interesting adventure! We often run around together!"
Barn touched his bald head and laughed indifferently
The woman named Sara spoke
"Obviously Uncle Barn often messes with monsters that he shouldn't mess with for no apparent reason."
"That's right! The bald man should be more careful!"
Polina opens and echoes
Looking at them reminds me of a time when
I have also teamed up with Barn. His past behavior has nothing to do with the adjective "careless".
People will change...
Thinking of this, I asked
"Barn You have changed... Where is the next place?"
"It doesn't matter where you go, right? Where do you want to go?"
"Have you ever heard of the Heaven Continent?"
"The one above the legendary King Dragon Kingdom?"
"Yes, I want to go there"
"Hahaha! Okay! This journey will last for a year or two!"
"We will disperse when we reach Bi Jianli Jianlu Kingdom. You will die if you go there."
"Okay, no problem! You have no problem too, right?"
Barn turned to Sara and Polina
They all nodded
"Then let's leave tomorrow!"
