50 – 3. Two adventurers (3)

3.

Even Mira, who would normally agree with what I said, tried every possible means to evade it this time——Either avoiding me, flirting with her body, using mean stealth techniques, or trying hard——Nevertheless, my I couldn’t break my stubbornness.

Originally, people have to leave one way for themselves to live. It’s me, maybe not what I’m talking about, but at least I’m not penniless like her without her pennies. In the end, she decided to leave the inn with me the next day, and as soon as her eyes met Celine’s, she turned her head to me and winked.

“Yes, the future——no, thinking about the ‘future’ means you have to make money.”

“The future?”

The choice of words was strange, but I nodded my head. Planning for the future is important. It’s unfortunate in many ways, especially when a talented human like her rots her talent. Seeing that, Celine glared at me and gnashed her teeth, but I don’t know why. There should be one or two points of anger.

If you have a weapon and have beaten monsters, you can call yourself an adventurer just for that, but in order to at least become a recognized adventurer, you need to visit an adventurer’s guild in each region at least once. In fact, isn’t the biggest reason guilds exist is to promote savage adventurers as mercenaries or jobs? Sooner or later you will see that pale face again. Clearing my throat in advance, I crouched down on the roadside in front of the inn.

“Jin, are you okay? Is it because the sun is hot?”

“No.”

How do you view me as a weakling? Well, let alone first-class, I am weak compared to second- and third-class thieves. However, just standing under the autumn sky for a while is not enough to make you dizzy. Mira, watching my face to make sure I was really okay, asked me, tucking her pink hair back to the back of her neck.

“But you said you were going to the city, why are you sitting here? If we could walk from now on, we should be able to get there before the sun goes down.”

“Wait a minute. A carriage will come.”

“Wagon?”

Yes, a wagon. Indeed, after waiting for another ten minutes, a carriage with a familiar appearance appeared, clattering down the hill. Guy Isaac, if you don’t like hitchhiking, just change the time you leave for the city every time. At this point, in fact, it may be that they are always anxious to burn me. I hid as low as I could until Isaac spotted me and turned the wagon in the opposite direction, then straightened my back as he anxiously passed in front of the inn. But today, it seems that the wagon is coming obliquely towards the inn. I waved his hand loudly at him, the eldest son of the wheat farm.

“Hey, Isaac!”

“Kek, Jin.”

In fact, I like it, but I hate acting like that. If his face was a little more attractive, I think Isaac could have joined the theater company. However, he looked at me for a moment and made a sound of pain, and he was distracted somewhere today. What are you looking at?

“Jin, who are you?”

“Huh? Oh, hello This is Isaac. From yonder to yonder, he’s the eldest son of a family with a wheat farm. Isaac, this is Mira. Thief…… I am an aspiring adventurer.”

Ah, she’s strangely wary of what she says about her thief, perhaps because of the fact that her bounty was placed on her not too long ago. Thieves and thieves have different meanings. Huh? However, Isaac’s freckled cheeks were strangely red. Like Mira said, is it because the sun is a bit strong today? …… Alas, indeed.

“Isaac? Nice to meet you. I am Mira.”

“Uh, uh, uh… ….”

Isaac hadn’t opened his eyes at all by the time Mira held out her hand and shook it. As is the case with all men of this age who can’t afford beauty, he seems to have forgotten Celine and fell in love with Mira this time. That doesn’t change the fact that you still have Celine’s underwear, her friend.

Anyway, if it’s like that, it’s rather fast. I whispered to Mira about how to pamper her Isaac, and while her Isaac looked at me with envy, she asked Mira, bringing her face closer to her.

“Hey, where are you taking this wagon?”

“Huh? That, this, Eastside. I have to go get the balance and go buy some stuff. Huh.”

“Really? We also have business on the East Side right now. This is also meant to be, so it would be nice to ride together, right?”

“No, of course! Don’t hesitate, get on!”

You are very confused. Well, if I hadn’t been resistant, I think I would have listened to Mira’s request. Of course, I can take him to the guild now because I have shaken off all the temptations. Great job myself.

Isaac stared at the swaying pink hair of her cheering mummy, then opened her mouth in bewilderment as she crossed her arms around her and headed for her hold. Like I did last time, I didn’t care and this time Mira sat next to me and imagined going with me. But already knowing that she couldn’t be like that, I just sent her pitying glance at Isaac, who bowed her head.

Cheer up, Isaac. You look more like a shady underwear thief than a simple country boy. Does this fit the top? Anyway, we rode side by side in the back of the wagon.

Even though the smell of wheat was overwhelming, the comfort of the ride was not bad throughout the ride. My butt didn’t hurt, thanks to the soft cloth I spread on the floor to prevent the sack from tearing. In the end, it was only Isaac who suffered, basking in the sun and riding the reins hard. We stretched out in the luggage compartment all the way, and got out of the wagon when we reached the checkpoint.

If it was just the two of them with Isaac, they would have pretended to be together and just got on the wagon and passed the bridge, but now that the mummy is attached, that shortcut doesn’t work. I proudly approached the bridge pillar where the guard was yawning, and when he recognized me, I smiled and spoke to him.

“Hello, Max.”

“Huh? Mr. Jin.”

Maximus, a large young man with a height of 190, looked at me with his high cheekbones and bowed his head. The reason why he is obedient to me, who is unemployed, is that he still misunderstands me as a noble person who came out to drink. It’s comfortable, so I’m not really clearing up that misunderstanding. Anyway, with that face, now 19 years old, the future of this country is really bright.

“How are you today?”

“Ah, I have something to do with the adventurers guild, so I’m going to have a good time.”

“I see. Can I get you a horse?”

“Oh, no, no. There’s no need for that, and there’s one person in the party, isn’t it okay?”

“Party? Who… ….”

Seeing me talking, Max tilted his head. Huh? Where did he go I looked back and could see the mummy, hidden behind my back, somewhat shrinking. Are you still afraid of articles? No, after all, Max didn’t even wear plate armor, and he’s just a big hunk? When I was puzzled, Mira grabbed the hem of my clothes and whispered.

“Wow, the guards are a bit like that…… Maybe it’s because I’ve been chased around so much…….”

“… ….”

I looked at her with her jaded eyes. Of course, she knows now that Mira wasn’t stealing for her own self-interest. Still, being overly afraid of public power is the same as an ex-convict no matter how you look at it. I told her an obvious fact in her ear.

“You don’t even have a bounty anymore. Cover your back a bit.”

“Oh, I see.”

You are no longer a criminal. When I said that, Mira suddenly appeared from behind as if she had been hiding, and smiled at Max. Those little eyes go all the way up the cheekbones and turn blue. Max must have thought I was talking into the air. I’m glad I wasn’t mistaken for a crazy person.

“It’s a mummy! It’s a group!”

“Ah, that’s right. Excuse me, but what about Jin…….”

“I am a lover!”

She grabbed me and crossed her arms before she could finish her words. The action draws the attention of everyone passing near the checkpoint. Oh please Couldn’t you just call me a friend? When I smiled awkwardly as I felt the pressure on my side of my chest, Max, far from being jealous, said something rather moved.

“That’s right, you look good!”

“Oops. Really?”

“Your lady is full of grace too! Pass by!”

“hehehe. They say I’m full of dignity when they see me, Jin.”

You must be thrilled. There is not a single word of fact in the conversation. I couldn’t raise my head because I was stung for nothing, even as I admired the strange feast of collaboration created by the two. In the end, I moved her steps without being able to get out of her soft arms until I passed the checkpoint with Max’s loud send-off.
