54 – 3. Two Adventurers (7)

7.

“I told you I was looking at that request first! Why are you tearing the paper at will?”

“If you had the heart to do it, you should have brought it to the window earlier. Don’t force yourself, goblin.”

“Ghost…… !?”

As the half-orc turned away as if he had no intention of fighting, the half-elf again blocked his way. A rugged half-orc and a slender, slender half-elf. It is only natural that people’s eyes are gathering as two people who do not fit together are raising their voices. The only thing they have in common is that they are both of mixed human race.

──Hey, look over there.

──You’re an elf. Why in this place

──That must be an adventurer. A face you’ve never seen before?

──You really look pretty. Just as good as the thief?

──Should I ask you to join the party? I’m not going to fly because I’m an elf. I just needed a ranger.

–You idiots, that’s not an elf, it’s a half-elf. Ears are different

──I must have seen an elf somewhere. Is that different?

Gossip adventurers. Well, it’s rare for a non-human race, whether it’s an elf or a half-elf, to roam around the outskirts of this place. Even when I first met Punta, a dwarf was obsessed with her alcohol, so she caught my eye right away. Considering that most non-human races live in their own territory, it is difficult to distinguish between half-elves and elves. I also see the real thing for the first time.

After hearing the whispers, the elf voluntarily covered his ears with his palms and shouted at the half-orc.

“Don’t call me a demon! You know that’s an insult!?”

“I don’t know. If you have no other business than that, get out of the way.”

It’s like that again. That half-orc, it’s not like I’m the first to start a fight with someone, but if it bothers me even a little, I’ll say it mercilessly. The half-elf seems to have her own personality just like her. Other adventurers, including myself, watched the fight between the two with interest.

“…… There’s no such thing as recklessness in case someone isn’t an orc. Do you think you can take on that request by yourself?”

This time, the half-orc didn’t respond, but looked at the request form he was holding for a moment——it looked like a post-it note because of his big hand——. The half-elf smiled and continued.

“If you are not blind, read carefully. Wizard Required. 1 Or more fighter, 1 or more rogue, ranger class preference. It’s a quest that can only be received if at least 3 people gather together. I was looking for an ally.”

“Hmm.”

Are you ready to hear the story? Seeing the half-orc snort, the half-elf asked if he thought his words were being eaten, holding out his palm as if to get his request back.

“Now, you know you can’t force yourself, right? Give it back at once Let’s each find a colleague. Take it to the window next.”

“──Girl, don’t you have any friends?”

“Huh?”

The half-elf stared at the half-orc’s gnarled face in bewilderment. He stared at her, touching the corners of her mouth where her fangs had sprouted.

“Didn’t you just say that you were looking for a colleague? If I had a colleague to carry out the request with me, he would have taken this off before me. Is not it?”

“That, that… ….”

“After all, isn’t it the same situation as being single? Why do I have to yield this request?”

For a moment, silence falls between the two. Half-orc bastard, you hit the point. Certainly, I had never heard of a half-elf adventurer who looked like that in the guild or inn. Of course he does too. It seems like they both moved here from another city not too long ago…… Can’t we just do it together? As I stared blankly, Mira poked her cheek with her finger.

“Jin, don’t stare at other girls too much.”

“What are you talking about again?”

If anyone sees you, you’ll know she’s a great wife. I am too free a soul to be bound by the bonds of marriage. I’m free, but I prefer to hide away. The life of raising children while your wife earns money is truly terrifying.

“Is it because of the weapon? Well, an elf swordsman is rare.”

Mira said with a sullen face. As she listened to her words, she definitely had an image of an elf with a bow. Even I thought she was looking for fighters and wizards by calling herself a ranger class. However, if you look closely, the length of the sword and the shape of the body are like that of an agile swordsman. Also using a quicksword. People who use bows generally have bulging back muscles on the pulling side.

“Yeah…… Because I have the confidence to do better! What is your adventurer rank!”

Ah, they finally started to swarm. I don’t know if I just asked to be honest, but the two of them crossed a river too far to have a party together. This is just a simple feeling, but that half-orc is an adventurer who has overcome quite a bit of adversity, even though he did get a shot at Mira, but the opponent was just bad. On the other hand, half elves have the impression that they lack experience, apart from their skills. It’s not just a rough and pretty appearance difference. The half-orc sighed, then pulled out a jingling adventurer’s plate from a gap in the leather that was made from plucking sheep in the midst of attention.

Green. A jade-colored, infallible mark of a skilled adventurer. The half-elf’s eyes widened, and the gaze of the adventurers who had looked at him disapprovingly also changed. The elf immediately tried to refute it, saying it was an impersonation, but soon felt instinctively that it was genuine and shrunk like a rabbit.

When the half-elf refused to show his adventurer colors, he put the plate back into his pocket. He snorted at her as he looked at the thin sword slung around her waist before heading to his window. As he passed, a wave of adventurers split into one and opened the way.

──Because it’s green. Why is such a talented person here?

──Aren’t you kicked out? Shall I ask you to join our party? The pay distribution is expensive, but it’s worth it.

──Still, orcs are a bit…….

──If there is a difference of opinion, I might cut you down with that axe. It’s creepy.

──Anyway, if you’re a half-orc, is one of your parents human? Either way it’s terrible

──Shh. I can hear you.

The whispering voices. Mira and I watched him trudge along with sullen eyes. Although we all didn’t have good feelings for him, it was because we could clearly feel the discrimination and contempt experienced by the mixed race of monsters and humans, unlike the relatively enviable elves and their mixed blood. He must have gone through quite a bit of hardship before getting the green adventurer’s mark.

But neither of them felt pity or sympathy for him. Because you can’t pity the strong. Me and Mira also knew that those countless voices would keep their mouths shut as if they were dumb in front of them.

──That elf took a hit.

──Kuh-kuh, are the descendants of the moon useless in front of an orc?

──You can go and talk to me. You can comfort them and make them a party.

──You do it. Asshole Isn’t it the color of poop?

Meanwhile, there were also voices directed at the downtrodden half-elves. Although they easily win favor with their better-than-human appearance, this place is not a low-end street, but a den for adventurers. That half elf has already revealed my weakness. You’ll be looked down upon for a while, at least until you prove yourself.

By the way, no matter how green the plate is, can you take on the 3-person party quest by yourself? I decided not to care about them, and I decided to try to find an adventurer who would have a party with Mira among the people I knew. However, the half-elf who was standing in front of the poster suddenly stared at me and took a sneak peek. Uh, maybe?

“Jin?”

“Shh, don’t turn your head.”

Mira was puzzled, but for now, she stared at me as she was told. Why do you look a little better than that? Facing me, she smiled at me and patted her knee as if this could happen even for an hour. In the meantime, the half-elf hurriedly approached the table.

“Hmm, hmm.”

“… ….”

“Hey there.”

“… ….”

“Are you ignoring me!?”

Bang. As she tapped her table with the palm of her hand, I clicked her tongue and turned to her. It doesn’t work either. As I looked at her with her suspicious eyes, the half-elf placed her hand on her thick chest and recited her self-introduction in her oriole voice.

“You guys are newbies who just registered as adventurers, right?”

“By the way.”

“My name is Chloe. He’s a veteran adventurer who’s quite well known in the places he’s been before he came here. Aren’t you looking for a party?”

Me and Mira looked at each other at the same time. Then I stare at her doll-like face again.

“A newbie adventurer must complete the first quest to be recognized as an adventurer, right? If you like it, I will lead you as a senior. Well, I think it’s a great opportunity to work with a veteran like me…….”

“What is the rating?”

“Huh?”

“Adventurer grade, what color is it?”

As I looked at her with her questioning eyes, the half-elf was momentarily taken aback, then held out her yellow-painted metal plate as she writhed in sweat. As expected, I pressed my arm against the table and raised myself up.

“Ah, open. Opened up let’s go.”

“Yes.”

When I got up, Mira also left without saying a word. This time she didn’t even have to hit it herself. She sleeps as a half-elf, and she wants to make Mira go through the elite course as much as possible so that she can wear the same blue color as Gerald’s. But I can’t let you get involved with such an obscure adventurer. Is this the heart of her father who wants his daughter to make friends only with her good environment? (No).

“Wait a minute! Wait for a sec! Why don’t you just go without listening!”

“Senior, let’s not do this. It’s too ugly. Besides, what is the color of sh*t when you say that you are a veteran?”

“It’s not sh*t! The blue color, that, fell for a reason!”

Did you fall? Then no more Being demoted to an adventurer level is impossible without committing a lot of mistakes. Doesn’t it mean that he fled here after causing trouble in other cities? Her mummy was looking down with her cold eyes as she held onto her crotch of her pants inside her, but suddenly her window was in a commotion again.

“No, I can’t.”

“Um… ….”

Looking back, the half-orc and the guild staff were looking at each other in trouble. Come to think of it, I won the argument, but wasn’t that orc a solo after all? They wouldn’t let you into a dungeon without a wizard or rogue class. And while the two men confronted each other without concessions, the luxurious wooden door inside the window squeaked open. A young man with his hair swept back all back appeared, yawning.

“What is it, what is it?”

“Ah, deputy guild leader… ….”

He suddenly saw the large silhouette of a half-orc hanging in front of him and let out a small sigh…… Seeing me waving from afar, he let out a big sigh this time.

Have you been? Don’t tell me if

Frederick wrinkled his white brow as always.
