When her eyes trembled like the whole earth was shaken under my grip, her throat dryly gulped as I jumped off my feet, giving her my best grin rather than best regards. Locking my hands behind my back, like my old man so often did, I grew more dignified and royal-like by the minute. When the panicked royal lady called out to her soldiers, who now also stared at me, "You… fools…! …Fools of generals…!" I belatedly reverently bowed to the princess, playfully, following the System's instructions, and…

…Ring! ❮ New instructions: … ❯ Oh? " —What should this ruckus be about, my generals?" And the noble lady made her appearance, flashed by the spotlights of reverence. Her voice came from the back, opposite to one of the many offices of the Guild Bureau's trading grounds. "Your Highness!" The stern general, the one who was just the "colleague," quickly sprang into action, reacted with joy and discipline, and bowed his head, bringing one of his knees down. The other big person who wanted to…

I stepped into the structure and was warmly greeted in by some humans, who, when they saw the "young and tender" human kid come in, all guffawed at "that kid who's barely got a thing to do here comin' with his sack o' heads so he gets his share!" and that was my entrance. There were a few stools and tables with a higher counter, on one side of this empty room, and some other bland furniture on the other side with piles of documents and a clerk on duty scrambling away. How did go my time out on the…

Lost, huh? That's me. That's "lost." One sorry lost lamb who wandered off without the flock, and ran straight to the wolf's den. ❮ — Head over to the trading grounds. 1/1 ❯ The wolf's den could also be referred to as the Guild Bureau. I knew I shouldn't have come here on my own, but here I was anyway. And now… ❮ — Witness the general's fury. 0/1 ❯ That's right—at least my predicament seemed to be part of the quest. "Whatever comes my way, I'll handle it right!" Or so I said earlier,…

"You know… in all the turmoil and struggle we found ourselves in, I'm grateful to at least have you guys as partners." He didn't say "friends," he said "partners." "Especially you." "U-Uh… We are, too. …More importantly, here." The babe presented me forward, still gripping my shoulders. "Yes. Speaking of gratitude, where are my manners? I shouldn't forget to thank the little man here, should I?" "Right, so you recognize him, too. I've actually just met him again by chance… Oh, but gee, let's not…

"You were brave today," the leader nodded, placing a hand on his companion's shoulder. After he slid a leather purse into the adventurer's pockets, he told him to go get that sword of his fixed at once. "Sure, you can go right now. Meet back up at the North Gate. Same village as always." "Don't need help with the trading and all?" "I don't." "North Gate?" "Tomorrow, first thing in the morning." "See you then." After a moment, the angry adventurer disappeared in the distance, happy to have received…

The second to speak was a chunky human sack of fat, he was a male, about the same age or a bit older, with a huge broadsword hanging by his side. He was timid, so small in presence, but so gigantically big and imposing in volume. He held his broadsword tight with a hand and meekly nodded at the adventurer babe, silently greeting her. What a sluggish, timid ball. "Jeez, then…" The babe's fighting spirit was diminished after she greeted her three friends—yes, the one I just bumped into was part of…

"Thank you, bab— ma'am." The adventurer lady sighed. "You're sort of like my old man: I'm grateful that you helped me." "A-An old man, huh…?" "Yes, an old man." "Don't call me an old man." "I won't call you an old man. Thank you, ma'am." "You're awfully polite despite your rude comments every now and then, aren't you, boy? I helped you and you helped me. One can say we're even." "Even." "Yes. Even. Now tell me. You did know about all I explained to you, didn't you?" "No." "...We're seriously…

The girl probably gauged my reaction, she blinked twice and slowly tilted her head to the side, with a genuine smile, this time, building on her face. Her lips were pressed together, but she unsealed them and began to speak… but I cut her short right away. "Say, what is it that you, er, is it rude if I say humans…?" I grimaced. "What is it that you people want with me, babe— You know, you and the bigger soldier out the walls. What was it that you wanted again?" As I had said earlier, at the time,…

The world behind the soldier-wall was just— "Whoa." Passing through, I couldn't see much of anything with my own eyes, as, though I wasn't one, my Character's appearance was that of a young human teenage boy. I was small and had to wait. But then it was the end of the tunnel, and I had to speak every letter of this "woah." My hand was still locked with my babe's fingers. She was the person who "saved" me, just a minute ago. Thanks to her assistance, I was allowed to pass through the dense sea of…
