It’s been a month since Sephilia returned to Minerva, and my easygoing life is going smoothly.
I’ve accumulated plenty of points in the adventurer guild, so I’m going to go up to A rank soon.
“This is the date of the A rank test. It will be pretty hard compared to the last one, but I’m sure you will pass easily.”
Says Isolte with a gentle smile while giving me documents with the outline of the test.
It does look pretty complicated. It’s not just about hunting monsters like before, I have to gather specific materials.
Memories of Ruby cross my mind, but I’m over my trauma, so I don’t mind it too much.
“If you pass, you will be A rank like me, so you can become a foreman.”
“What can I do if I do?”
“Create your own guild. Basically, become a leader.”
“Eh!? So be like you?”
“Basically. It’s a tough, but rewarding job. You should consider it.”
So I’ve received this invitation. I don’t have what it takes to be a leader, but it’s important to tackle everything, so I’ll keep that in the back of my mind.
I’ve completed today’s quest in the morning, so I’m free in the afternoon. I might as well go to the market.
Once I get there, I quickly run into Mars and Lela. They’re looking friendly as always, walking around while having ice cream.
“Ah, Master Loyd. What a coincidence. Are you shopping for something?”
“I’m thinking about buying casual clothes. It’s boring wearing the same stuff all the time.”
“That’s nice. Can I join you?”
“Sure. What about you, Mars?”
“I will accompany you.”
And so they join me as I make my way to an apparel shop that’s popular here in Minerva.
When we go inside, a female employee walks over and sounds happy when she sees me.
“Oh, Mister Loyd! It’s been a while! I’m so glad you’re visiting our store again!”
She says with a polite bow.
“Sensei’s really is popular.”
“Of course, Master Loyd has a good character!”
Both flatter me, and when I tell the employee I’m here to buy casual clothes, she brings me three outfits with different patterns.
“I think this one suits you, Master Loyd!”
“And what about this, sir!?”
“Wah! That’s really cool! Don’t you think so, Master Loyd!?”
Lela and the employee hit it off, and start looking for stuff while discussing the latest trends.
I’m basically a dress-up doll as they keep bringing clothes.
I think a lot of women tend to get very talkative at times like these.
I end up buying ten outfits they pick.
“Isn’t this a bit too much?”
I ask Lela.
“Hehehe, it’s because you looked cool.”
Yes, cute. I know she’s just flattering me, but being treated like a hot guy doesn’t feel bad.
As we walk along the street, I hear young people cheering in the training area.
Did something happen? I’m kind of curious.
I’m not the only one, so are Mars and Lela, so we head there.
But what we see there surprises us.
“What’s with this little girl!? She’s super strong!”
“She’s taking on trained knights!”
“That’s the tenth one!”
A girl that looks to be about ten years old. She has pink hair neatly trimmed in front, and somewhat long on the sides.
She’s wearing a crown with a long leg, like one an emperor would wear, and an oriental deep blue outfit with sleeves so long that I can’t see the tips of her fingers.
The slit from her waist to her crotch is very deep, and her white legs are clearly exposed.
A knight charges against her and swings his sword down, but the girl uses minimal movements to attack him as he passes by her and incapacitates him.
This fresh new move makes people cheer again.
Meanwhile, my mouth is hanging open. After all, this is director Jeru, who raised me.
