Chapter 14 – Conditions and Prospects*
“D-, De…!?”
It seems that when people reached the summit of shock, they became unable to properly speak words
To Yuu to say soet the words out, Luru continued to speak
“Now this has no proof All of it is just my own assertion That’s why it doesn’t matter if you believe me or not The important part is that Iris and I were ancient de doesn’t really have …”
However, it seems that Yuumis had a different view
“What are you saying!? It’s super i? Iris-chan…”
Said Yuu to Iris for confirmation
As for Iris, she spoke about Luru’s past glory as though seeing a dream, so it seemed that Yuumis completely believed her
After that, Yuuan to ask various questions about the ancient dehed
“…Well, once Yuu her Let’s leave them alone for a while… Hey, Luru I was surprised about you being the de about you being an ancient de us all this?”
If you had to say, between Yuumis and Gran, it felt like Yuumis bore more of the intellectual jobs whilst Gran carriedwas a little off
Gran’s question was extreht Luru
It eable of the tas Yuumis, but the one who skilfully held the reins of the party and led it in the right direction ht have on the contrary been Gran
Up until now, Luru had never seen Gran becoitated
He was the type of warrior as always thinking, and even in battle he didn’t stop
If you considered that Yuumis was on the contrary a whis, then the two of theether as a pair
As for how to answer, Luru wasn’t worried about it
There was no reason for hiood relations with Gran and Yuumis from here on out
A person who travelled across the world and saw s with their own eyes was in a sense, a hard to find existence for Luru, and on top of that if their personalities were good, it became extremely obvious that they people that Luru didn’t want to cut ties with
That’s why Luru answered Gran frankly
“It’s not really anything too difficult… I wanted to revealbetter with you two I… a reborn, so I hold a e, but my position in society is still a seven year old child, and there isn’t a lot that I can do I like to think that theup until now has been okay, but even so, there’s still a long way to go And my parents have raised me up until now and lived with e On the contrary, I like it… This kind of peaceful scenery was so that I could have never seen in my previous life, even up to ht now is basically the drea the village immediately isn’t really an option for me”
Having spoken that far, Gran seeuessed his intentions as well
Digesting Luru’s words, and then after thinking for a little while, Gran spoke his guess
“In other words… You want us to act as yourto the outside? That’s what you want from us?”
His guess was correct
Truly, this role hat Luru was hoping from them
However, it wasn’t so as cold as the way Gran said it, and Luru wasn’t coldly and cal this from them
“More than s… It’s uys occasionally cae, and just talked to us about the outside Since we explored the ruins together, I knohat kind of person you are More than anything, you guys are skilled adventurers The city is for sure, but you’ve been to other countries as well, right? I don’t feel like leaving the village But I want to know about the world I want to search places like the ruin that was near the village… That’s why, for that, I want information”
Listening to Luru’s words, Gran scratched his head and replied
“You’re expecting quite a lot from us but… There’s heaps of stuff that we don’t know, and our knowledge isn’t that plentiful, yanno?”
His words sounded like a refusal, but you could tell from his expression that it wasn’t so
His smile seemed to say, ‘My, my…[/yareyare]’ after all
“Just that is fine… It’s not like I was hoping for expert level infore, or the feel of different regions, broad things of that kind of level In other words, the stuff that you talked about the other day in the bar …More than anything, I want to talk to you guys occasionally Is that no good?”
It was close to an entreaty, but it wasn’t as though there wasn’t that kind of reason as well
The village had very few stimuli
Just having adventurers coe lively
The bar was like that, and children like Rusty were like that as well
He was also thinking that it’d be nice if they dropped in by the village on occasion, even if there wasn’t anything to do
Perhaps understanding what Luru wanted to say, Gran replied
“It’s not like we can’t, but… Geez, you’re being quite straight with me, aren’t cha? If it’s just that much, it’s fine… Or so I’d like to say, but…”
Contrary to expectations, Gran’s words stopped
Luru tilted his head in confusion
“But?”
After that, Gran held up a finger and continued
“We’re adventurers We can’t just co down here just to talk with no reward at all is, you know? So… I’ you conditions”
“Conditions?”
While questioning just what kind of conditions Gran could make him s, Luru decided to listen for now
Coht now he had few fetters of obligations
As long as it wasn’t anything crazy, he was fine with one or two conditions
Gran spoke
“Yeah, conditions… Won’t you enter my clan?”
Clan
In the adventurers guild, it was one of the types of groupings of adventurers
Unlike parties, clans had the point of being quite large scale organisations
Put si of a nu one bestowed various benefits
For example, clans based around people from the same birthplace[/homeland] would proactively take in novice adventurers, and drive knowledge and skills into theed adventurers existed, and because these were useful to the guild as well, they were acknowledged by the guild
In the past the guild didn’t have this sort of syste but parties, but in those days, it seeher
As expected, inheriting skills fro incredibly important
That’s why being invited into a clan by Gran wasn’t really so you could call a condition
On the contrary, it was a benefit
Being invited into the clan was the sain with, Luru was planning to beco one in the future so he was fine with that
And he knew that clans weren’t so, so there was no problem with that either
However, as for the one problem that did exist…
“Gran I said so earlier, but I’ll be staying in the village for a while As for registering to beco a backer I may have, I shouldn’t be able to do it if I’m below 14 That’s why…”
Gran nodded at Luru’s answer
“Yeah I know That’s why this is for when you turn 14 …Well, having said that though, right now Yuuh”
“…Oi, then whose clan am I supposed to join?”
“It’s like that Before you turn 14, we’ll create one… How’s that?”
Asked Gran, with a smile
To Luru, if they illing to be that acco, he had no reason to refuse
Saying that they’d go out of their way to create a clanhim down
Were this a party invitation, Luru wouldn’t be able to ations
