Chapter 14 – Little Trouble in Bahran (4)

It was harder than I thought to appease the angry Kara. After clinging to Seris and finally calming down, we headed to the adventurer’s guild.

“But why is your sister following you? She’s an older sister, too. She’s interested in adventurers?”

This morning, Seris suddenly announced that she would join the adventurer’s guild. Kara wondered why. Me too.

“It’s not that I’m interested in it, I’m just curious about what kind of place you will work, Kara.”

It was a slightly disappointing answer. From my point of view, since I have to do the main quest with Seris, it would be nice if she was interested in being an adventurer.

“Okay? It’s a shame. I think it would be fun to go on an adventure with you.”

“I know. It’s a pity that Seris doesn’t do it either.”

“Yes? That means… Will Yoosung be an adventurer too?”

“Huh? Are you going to be an adventurer too?”

“Kara, didn’t you know?”

“I heard it for the first time too. So? Are you thinking of becoming an adventurer too?”

Kara asked, her eyes shining. I smiled a little.

“Huh. While you’re doing it, I’m going to start with you too. Is it like that?”

“No no! Good! Let’s do our best together!”

Kara held out her fist. I put my fist on it. Seris stared blankly for a moment as her two fists met.

* * *

There is no city without an adventurer’s guild.

When she heard it before, she thought it was so and moved on, but now she realizes that it is true.

“Wow… It’s an adventurer’s guild, after all. Bigger than other buildings!”

“I know…”

The adventurer’s guild was bigger and a little more rugged than the other buildings, as if it were proud of its majesty.

I entered the guild with the admiring Seris sister.

-What kind of request will you take on this time?

-I then cut the kobold’s leg…

The guild was crowded with adventurers each wearing different armor. I dragged Kara, who was trying to snoop around, and headed to the reception desk.

“What are you here for?”

A receptionist in a neat uniform greeted us with a smile.

“I came because I wanted to be an adventurer!”

Kara raised her hand and responded briskly. The receptionist opened her eyes for a moment, then gave a small chuckle.

“I see. All right. Then, I’ll take the registration fee of 3 silver each.”

“…Is there a registration fee?”

“Yes. We can’t issue adventure certificates to just anyone. 3 silver is the minimum proof of identity.”

No one can get…

Well, if some weird guy pretends to be an adventurer, the guild’s image will only get worse.

However, if all the people who register were meticulously investigated, the number of new adventurers could decrease. So 3 silver is really a minimal device.

I glanced back at Seris.

Sure enough, her eyes through the cloth were trembling.

“Ugh… Isn’t that too expensive?”

“Because cheap doesn’t mean anything.”

“Uh… Is that so..?”

Kara, who was confused, looked at Seris with her eyes shining again.

“Sister, please!”

“Uh, yeah… That… Kara? Do you really have to be an adventurer?”

“…Is that why you came now? Come all the way here?”

Kara pouted her mouth, and Seris waved her hand in embarrassment.

“Ah, I see… You said 3 silvers..?”

Seris opened her purse with her trembling hands and took out her three silvers.

It wasn’t good.

I am in a position to seduce Seris into becoming an adventurer as well.

However, if Seris spent 3 silver here and later spent the money to match Kara’s armament, she didn’t have the money to become an adventurer.

I grabbed Celis’ wrist and restrained her. She met her eyes with hers and shook her head.

“Mr. Yooseong?”

“Brother?”

Kara and Seris were puzzled. I told the receptionist without paying attention to the two of them.

“Sorry. I will come to register next time.”

“Ah… Yes, I see.”

I greeted the receptionist and left the guild with Sister Seris.

“Brother, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”

When she came out, Kara tilted her head and asked.

As I came out, I brought out what I had been thinking about.

“Kara, what did you say your dream was?”

“Huh? My dream? Why is that all of a sudden?”

“Answer me. What did you say?”

“My dream is to become a famous adventurer. Did you tell your brother too?”

“It did. You said you wanted to be famous enough to have your adventures made into a song?”

“Huh! I’m going to become so famous that everyone on the continent doesn’t know about my adventures! Like the song of Hero Sieghart!”

“…Warrior?”

It was shocking that he was a warrior who came out of nowhere.

“Don’t you know brother? A song featuring the hero Sieghart, his wife Esika, and the wizard Mary?”

“…Is the Demon Lord Baal also out there?”

“Ah, you know my brother too. Yes, with me It’s not long.”

The hint for the main quest was closer than I thought. I tried to ask Kara to play that song, but I held back. Now is not the time for that.

I decided to find out the song later, and I continued what I said.

“Well, so Kara, you said you would one day become famous like those warriors. I believe you can do enough.”

“Lol. Thank you!”

“By the way. Kara, if there is a line in your song that says, ‘She took care of her older sister when she was young’, it’s a little… Don’t you think so?”

“…Huh?”

“Honestly, if there is such a line in an adventure story, it’s a bit like that, isn’t it? Something is missing.”

“Yeah, that’s right…”

Kara lost a little bit of laughter in her voice.

“Yes? I also boasted to others that the adventurer in that song was my younger brother, but I think it would be a bit embarrassing to hear such a line.”

“Yes..”

“On the contrary, I think it would look better if it was said that I started out dignifiedly without relying on others. Kara, don’t you think so too?”

Kara pondered for a moment, then nodded her head.

“Your brother is right.”

I smiled and held Kara’s hands. Just like that, I met her eyes. Kara was taken aback by my sudden action.

“Oh, brother? If you suddenly hold her hand…”

“Kara.”

“Eh, huh?!”

“Good idea. It will be a bit difficult, but let’s work together with you so that you don’t burden Seris.”

“Uh, uh… I see…”

Kara lowered her head to hide her blushing face.

“…What is this..?”

Seris did not understand the current situation.

* * *

On that day, Kara declared her independence. She tried to stop her by asking Seris how independent she was, but Kara had already made up her mind.

She started working as a maid at an inn to become completely independent, and it’s been a week since she knew it.

“Two ales here.”

“Yes! Two ales!”

After taking her order, Kara walked her gun to her kitchen. Seris and I watched it from the corner of the inn.

“Look. You are doing well. It’s because you’re worried too much.”

“Ugh…But not too long ago, I almost got into a fight with a drunk man.”

“It was worth fighting for. I’m openly trying to sexually harass you.”

“But what if I get hurt in a fight…”

“The innkeeper will take good care of it. And Kara is quite strong, though not as strong as you.”

“But…”

My words did not lessen Seris’s worries. That’s what she always feels, but her overprotectiveness was a bit harsh.

I sighed and opened the status window. Click Seris’ name at the top.

=================================

Seris’ status window appeared.

This has been my concern these days.

Considering that it wasn’t there when I killed the goblins, I think it’s a recent one…

‘Why is this showing me?’

It’s understandable that Celis has her status window. Seeing that he keeps getting involved in quests, it seems that the creator of the status window cares about various things.

However, it was strange that this status window was visible to me instead of her.

At first, I wondered if people with status windows could see each other’s things. So I tried Seris, but she didn’t know. Plus I could manipulate her status window.

I had a sudden thought.

‘Are you asking me to nurture you? Like Princess Maker?’

Otherwise, there was no reason to see Seris’ status window only for me.

It’s a bit ridiculous, but when you think about it, it wasn’t too bad.

An ally with a status window can be a great force. In addition, since I have her status window, I have the initiative.

‘Of course, this is also the story when Celis said she was an adventurer…’

When she says she won’t, she’s a jerk. Therefore, I carefully thought about how to attract Celis as her adventurer.

‘I think it’ll work somehow if I use that overprotective personality…’

“Brother?”

“Huh?”

Before she knew it, Kara was by her side.

“What are you thinking that there is no answer when I call you?”

“It’s nothing. Is the work over already?”

“Huh. He told me to rest early today.”

Kara sat down next to me. Seris, who pulled out her chair in the seat next to her own, sulked.

“By the way, do you and your sister and brother have to watch over me every day like this?”

“Surveillance…! We’re just worried about you…”

“I mean, you’ve noticed the uncle.”

Uncle means the innkeeper’s uncle.

“Well, I hate it when the two of us occupy a table from broad daylight to night.”

“Did you order drinks and food? We are our legitimate guests.”

“That’s about it. Let’s stop this from tomorrow.”

“Uh… But…”

“If you’re so worried about me, why don’t you try working here too? There’s a vacancy because the kid I was working with quit.”

“You said you quit?”

“Huh. The uncle said he gave notice that he would quit in the morning with a pale complexion?”

“Okay..?”

Seris’ expression brightened a little. Because the guy she quit with was the guy Kara was flirting with.

Seris was restless, so I called her at night and gave her a warning. I thought she was only moderately intimidating, but she thought she would stop.

‘Was it too much to put a knife to my throat?’

It’s a bad habit picked up in the slums. I need to fix it soon

“Oh right!”

She clapped her hands as if she remembered something Kara had forgotten.

“Brother.”

“Why?”

“Can I sleep at my brother’s house tonight?”

– Poof! Cool… Cool…!!

Seris, who was drinking ale, stopped by her. Even as she coughed, she looked back and forth at me and Kara in disbelief.
