Chapter 12 (1/2)

____

After finis.h.i.+ng their self-introductions, the four people left together.

「Est’s level is high. How long have you been an adventurer for?」

Amyl is unreserved when speaking to others, even though it’s our first meeting. I’m not a timid guy, so I answer promptly.

「I just registered yesterday. Claire registered then as well」

「Yesterday!? You’re a high level even with that….well, it might be thanks to your skills that your experience has risen so high」

He seems to have convinced himself. Sorry, I am a 15 year old from another world with a cheat ability.

I hear their circ.u.mstances from Amyl. They were both childhood friends in the same village, they had grown up listening to stories from adventurers who pa.s.sed by. They became attracted to that way of life.

I showed a bitter smile.

With admiration in their hearts, they vowed to become adventurers when they grew up. It has now been 2 years since they left their village.

For the first year, they spent their time doing odd ch.o.r.es, raising their levels and arranging their equipment. It was only recently that they began to receive requests from the town.

Amyl was huddling close together and said in a low voice.

「If this request goes well, I think I’ll propose to Lelena」(TLN: Death flag?)

He said those ridiculous lines with a joyful expression. Hey, think about you timing? What if you die later. Also, your both only 17-18, isn’t it too early to marry?

「I think everyone is married around this age in the village? We’re different from aristocrats who marry early. We still have to work or else our house will be poor」

I see. So there is an economical reason. Though in j.a.pan, people of this age would be seen as children, they are adults in this world.

Lelena keeps looking back, the conversation between Claire and Lelena seems joyful, it’s difficult to hear what they are talking about.

Like this, we arrived in front of the forest, which was our destination. From here on out, we are silent. When I check the map, the Orcs aren’t moving, they seem to be standing still in one spot. Just what are they doing?

Before battle, I managed to acquire a skill from watching Amyl. 『Swordplay: Level 1』 now has the additional skill 『Crus.h.i.+ng head attack』. I managed to get it by swinging a sword straight down.

Lelena has the skills 『Recovery Magic: Level 1』 and 『Detoxification Magic: Level 1』. Healing a serious injury would be impossible, but light injuries seem ok.

Our status doesn’t seem to have changed. My experience boost has risen to level 2 after the goblin attack.

I go a little closer to the Orcs. They seem to be enjoying a meal, several dead bodies of animals are scattered about.

On average their level is 10, it’s slightly higher than the other people with me, but we still have a chance to win.
