Litty, Always Aiming for an Adventure

Since Yggdrasia’s arrival, Litty and her friends had been unable to accept most of the requests they received.

The requests for the higher ranks had been completely wiped out, and the only requests left were simple gathering requests for the lower ranks and the killing of vermin that were destroying village fields.

Litty found herself stuck in the situation, where she was not able to get requests suitable for her rank. One needed to collect sufficient points by doing Rank 3 requests in order to get the right to challenge the Rank 2 promotion examination.

If she passed the promotion exam, she would become a semi-Rank 2, and if she received a certificate of recognition from some important figure, she would become a Rank 2.

“Oh, thank God. Now the fields won’t be destroyed for a while.”

“It’s fine. I am also relieved that everyone can continue eating delicious vegetables now.”

“Delicious vegetables, huh? When was the last time someone said that to me…. Well, how about having some?”

The vegetables that Litty and Roma ate were so fresh and tasty that they could be eaten raw.

Litty was impressed when she felt that it was comparable to the ones produced in her own village. She even thought that this alone was worth coming to a village far outside the royal capital.

“Recently, adventurers don’t come here anymore. We used to have a resident knight, but he was too arrogant… Fortunately, he left.”

“So, in the end, the young people of the village decided to report it to the royal capital asking for help by making it a task for adventurers to receive.”

“What was that knight’s group called again? The… the fly squad or whatever it was?”

“…The Amphisbaenians?” (Roma)

The old men in the village nodded their heads in agreement to Roma’s answer. Even though it had not been that long since Roma and Litty came to the capital, the bad reputation of the Amphisbaena was well established in their minds.

Litty was able to picture how much trouble the villagers must have gone through with those people around them.

“I’ll ask for someone’s help, a better knight.” (Litty)

“You will?”

“Yes. I know someone who might be able to help you guys.” (Litty)

“I appreciate that, but…”

The old men in the village knew Litty’s rank, but did not consider her to be in the same league as the others of the same Rank as her because of how she looked. Half-heartedly but gratefully, they waved goodbye to Litty who completed the request and turned to return to the capital.

***

Unable to take high rank requests, Litty and Roma decided to focus on Rank 6 requests.

In addition to Litty’s natural motivation and vitality, she now had Roma with her. The two of them sweated, laughed, and hit it off with their clients.

It was different from the kind of work Roma wanted to do in the capital, but she thought it wasn’t so bad. It changed her perception of adventurers once again.

“Ah, I’m tired…”

“Aldis-san, I’m going to go pay the bill.”

“Oh…one more restaurant after that, I guess.”

A flushed Yggdrasia and Grand Sharks, and the adventurers who followed them, entered the guild. Their staggering steps showcased a far cry from what was expected of dignified adventurers.

The strong smell of alcohol emanating from them irritated Litty and Roma’s nostrils.

Roma couldn’t help but murmur in a low voice, “Stinky…”

Litty said to Roma, “Roma-san, now that the clearing is over, let’s go get some rest today.”

“Oh? Well, well, well… aren’t you a Rank 3 adventurer of some sort?”
