Vol 3 Chapter 34 (1/2)
Prologue
The Bahnseidom’s capital city, Centralle
Befitting of the capital city of the e with people
It’s said that all the people and products of the country gather there, but looking at its difference in scale from the other cities, one would have no choice but to accept that fact
Centralle was a city filled with a loomy back alleyways
In a place like that, I, the『Idiotic noble Brat』 of Dalien, 【Lyle Walt】, my former fiancée【Novem Forxuz】, and the one who became comrades with us in Dalien, a city nice to newbie adventurers, 【Aria Lockwarde】made a stop on our travels
Froe, became an adventurer, and went to the capital to prepare to head to whatever toould set as our next home
While Centralle was in the center of the country, it wasn’t a city friendly to adventurers
It’s because they couldn’t have their scarce jobsaid adventurers
The public safety was hts, so there was barely anywhere left for adventurers to get a turn
Even if work did co on the work of some noble or merchant
The rest of the lot could only barely scrape by
In a city like that, masses of people came and went, and the streets ell cared for
In order to rate to another part of the land, it was quite a convenient place to stop by
With bright brown hair tied in a side ponytail, Nove after-meal tea in the store we stopped by for lunch
Her pale skin and violet eyes seemed to suck one in
If there was anything I had to brag about, it would be this well-put-together former fiancée Novem
But perhaps she was a little too devoted, as she was truly trying to actualize the harem plan I voiced as a lie
As perfect as she was, could it be there was so out of place somewhere?
Novem, and the other…
With red hair grown out to her back that curled up out of habit, there was Aria
We ade, and froside us The coained in Dalien
The two girls and I, the three of us were seated around a round table at a snack food shop
After finishi+ng our athered
I went up first
“I’ve gone around, and looked at the weapons and armor, but I still think it may be a bit too early for us to head to the free city of Bei there, I better pile up some more skill”
Beim was a city ruled by merchants, and its abundance of jobs made it an easy place for an adventurer to live
But at the same time, the areas out of the scope of merchants had a tendency to have a lack of public order
Without enough experience, if ere to head to Bei adventurers like us would soon be looked upon as prey The possibility was high
I have the confidence to get back at whoever would do such a thing, but raising a ruckus wouldn’t be to e
Novereed
“I a with Aria-san, but it sound like Beih Our lack of numbers is another problem they spoke of”
For adventurers, a group of three was on the lesser side
Numbers are power, and that alone would make an opponent hesitate to play their hand
However, teenage adventurers with scarce nueted
Aria was the same
“They told irly like e nuades set up residence there, and there are plenty of people there who shouldn’t be approached”
It was definitely true it was an easy place for adventurers, but the sack of public safety was just as true
But for adventurers, heading to Beim was an unavoidable trial A majority of fa there
Of course, it’s not like oal was to succeed as an adventurer
… More so, I didn’t have a goal in general
I sis weren’t all too bad
But I don’t plan on going on like this
“Since it’s coo, it would be better if we gathered up numbers first Anyways, we just need to join in a party with adequate numbers”
As I said that, Novem showed some disapproval
It’s not rare for parties of two or three to act together Many adventurers cooperate on jobs, and don’t get involved with each other in other matters
But it looks like Novem was opposed
“I’ainst it The leader of this party is Lyle-sae, both you and I are but of fifteen years It we are to link with another group, ill definitely be treated as inferiors”
And Aria whispered so unrelated
“… I’m sixteen, you know…”
“Is that so? I’ on you from here on as well, Aria-san”
It looks like Novem wouldn’t allow anyone but me to be the leader
In the city of Dalien, our experienced advisor taught us quite a few things
In a period of three months, we hammered the experience that would build our foundations into our bodies
But in the end, it was but the foundations
“Ifwith another party is impossible, then… the only option left is to invite people into our own Do you think there are that many adventurers ant to enter our party?”
We were all generally young
Rather than the prirowth
If they buy into our future prospects, perhaps our comrades will increase, but the usual pattern is that it’s the party with greater nuer eneration
Partiespeople don’t have it that easy
“Considering that, should we just head to the city of scholars? 【Arue library, and I’ve heard it has nu halls There are campuses for study, and they take in a wide variety of youths”
Hearing that, it sounded as if going there would be like co to school
I’m the same, but Novem was born into a noble House
Starting with reading and writing, she’s received a proper education
Aria didn’t have probleument’s sake, she even committed etiquette to heart
“So we’ll be applying to learn specialized fields? It will be hard to find the time and money for that I’ve no intention to commute to a school for years”
As I said that, Novem shook her head
“There is no need for us to enroll They call out to those who’ve graduated for to find adventurer work in the city of scholars as well”
Satisfied with that, Aria nodded a few times
“Come to think of it, the leftover kids of imperial nobles also enroll there Like second and third sons not succeeding their houses, or second and third daughters and the like You often hear of theovernmental work Of course, there’re also so to adventurers or mercenaries”
Novem took over Aria’s explanation
“If there are youths there with an extent of knowledge, experience and technique, then how about we try recruiting at Arumsaas? We aren’t in any sort of hurry, so we can even study while doing guild work”
Hearing that, Aria started talking as if she had re
“Arumsaas is the city of scholars, so I heard in the past that they were full of really strange requests Also, there are plenty of adventurers there like us Searching for co in order to search for a party Those sorts of people are numerous”
Having heard both of their opinions, I began considering whether it was best to set out there
There, a voice ca on my neck
Jewel… they recorded the single Skills that eht Skills
The Jeas a tool that held the function to teach the stages of a Skill a gem could not, and also whatever other useful applications the Skill held
The blue one inSupport Class Skills to ee
The red reuard Class
And Yellow Geuard Class Skills
Hers was a gee comes about
『Library, is it… inI think it was 【Town of Sages】? It was called a gathering of bigoted old men back then』
The one I heard was the Third Generation
The Third Generation Head of the provincial noble Walt House, 【Sleigh Walt】’s voice
Right
The memories stored in the memories of the Skills, their hearts… those hat transmitted the ways to use the Skills
OF course, that wasn’t just a good thing
Silky blond hair that hung down to his shoulders
While the Walt House currently held Count Status, back in the Third Generation’s time, it was at Baron level…
Froher
He was a uarded the retreat of a king, but… I can’t think of this person as anything so righteous
He looked stylish, and he was always sood tempered older brother
That was the iave off
Following on from the Third Generation, I heard the Fourth’s voice
『You really do love books If only you ran your internal affairs with so much zeal when you were alive』
On the Fourth’s rehed
『It’s best to take everything in moderation Also, even if I didn’t do it, I had subordinates for that, and all we had to do ork based on the Second Generation’s plan』
Despite the Third Generation being the first one to carve the Walt Fadom, he truly seemed to have a carefree personality, and he didn’t see
His interest in doht
(Really, as this eneral…)
As I thought that, Novem seemed worried about me Her expression looked dark
“What’s wrong, Lyle-saht?”
In comparison to Novem’s worried words, Aria was cold
“I-it’s because you stay up so late at night! I-it’s because you say things like that…”
Her face was tinted red, but I shot back
“Things like that? More so, I slept quite early yesterday The only tiht we arrived here What’s more, the one who looked sleepy the next day was you, Aria”
I returned those words, but Aria’s reaction was strangely sharp
“W-whose fault do you think that is!? Whose!?”
By the way…
The people around me cannot hear the voices from the Jewel
I’ll also put this out, but there are as many voices in the Jewel, as there are people who had their Skills recorded into it
There are Seven… no, there were
