Chapter 131 – People With the Same Name -1-

Rike stopped by the bakery early in the morning, ate breakfast together, and went to the academy.

Since I didn’t have any actual training, I did some training in the yard and then came to the Adventurer’s Guild to wait for Eclair.

Robert subtly annoyed me, but in preparation for today, I hired a filthy expensive person from the information guild and attached it to Robert, so I was less worried.

‘I should spend the money like this.’

What kind of guys are taking their places in the adventurer’s guild today?

If the guys from out of town were fighting with the adventurers in the capital, there would be something to see and the time would pass.

…

When an adventurer who is often seen in the Adventurer’s Guild suddenly disappears.

In general, most of the cases were just quitting adventurers for reasons like guest company or injury.

That’s why, if you can’t see your face without rumors, you won’t open the lid of the result.

If there is a gloomy reality in it, it reminds us of the future self that may come someday.

The life of an adventurer is a gathering of people who claim to be a comedy and live a pleasant life.

If you succeed in retrieving a corpse or remains after failing a request to deal with a monster that uses humans as your staple food or attacks, that alone is considered a very lucky guy.

This is something like an unwritten rule among adventurers.

If there is no news of success after leaving the request and he does not return even after a sufficient amount of time has elapsed, the adventurer is treated as dead among adventurers.

On rare occasions, in order to avoid taking responsibility for not being able to handle things after they explode, there are cases where they run away to a federal country or a small independent country whose name I don’t remember…

Like this, adventurers and the guild that manages adventurers are an eventful job.

It’s just as nice to meet adventurers who are good friends after a long time.

‘How are you feeling today?’

When I opened the door to the guild and entered, a miracle that did not smell of cigarettes greeted me, spurring my unfounded intuition with a good feeling.

After being greeted by the busy receptionist in response, I stood and pondered about where to move his feet.

‘Shall we go down?’

There was still quite a bit of time to spare, so when we went down to the tavern in the basement, there was a clear increase in the number of new faces, just as rumors had it that the number of newcomers and adventurers from other places had increased.

Then, through the gap, a familiar pink-haired woman caught her eye.

“Lily~ It’s been a while.”

“Ah! Mr. Roman!”

I’m in the position of teaching Seria in a practice class once a week.

At her academy, she saw Ceria’s carefree and lively expression and expected that her older sister, Lillie, was doing well.

If Lilyne also heard that I was continuing classes at the academy, she would be declared alive just for that.

“Roman! Can’t you see me?”

“Uh-yeah. He’s alive. Sergeant Sergeant.”

I gave a rough answer to Lark, who was sitting at the same table, and pulled an empty chair and sat down.

Chambers at this party. There’s someone younger and more cultured than Lark to talk to.

After having a serious accident with alcohol, he stopped going to the tavern saying he was sober. It’s surprising how long that commitment has lasted.

The adventurer’s sobriety remarks are like smoke or illusions that disappear instantly.

“Lark. I’ll eat well.”

It used to be a picture that I used to do often, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been living with Rike.

Lark also laughed heartily as if he had similar thoughts when he saw me eating the food on the table for granted.

“Truly- do whatever you want. But why don’t you act a bit according to your position?”

One of the best adventurers in the empire.

Act like a ‘platinum’? It’s an adventurer to live as he pleases, but I don’t know what to say.

I know it’s because of me, but I was dumbfounded to think that I would listen to myself and not someone else’s words.

“Then, wouldn’t Lark, who is staying in the gold, use honorific words that show respect to me first?”

“…”

I started to inhale the food, ignoring the boyfriend who showed signs of disliking it at my polite words.

As I sat down and finished my cup of food and drink, Lilyne leaned over to her and asked in a low voice.

“Roman. Seria is that…”

To the expected question, I conveyed my feelings to Seria during her class.

“You’re doing well. The passion burns me.”

Lilyne grinned when she said she worked hard, but she was straightforward and seemed worried about her brother, who only dreamed of her career as an adventurer.

“I guess he’s only interested in the classes Roman is doing at the academy. The theory classes are just trying to avoid failing… I wish I could broaden my knowledge and think about the possibilities of various jobs, but it’s a big deal…”

“That’s strange. My class must be quite difficult? It’s full of things that show off things you don’t want to do.”

I thought the red-haired girl showed such passion for all classes, but she seems to be weak in theory.

It’s an easily predictable picture because it’s the exact opposite of Lily’s and her worries are understandable, and it’s funny.

I giggled and Lilyne slapped her on the shoulder.

“It’s serious, so don’t laugh…! Phew…! Seeing that Seria doesn’t even talk about other adventurers these days… Isn’t Roman-san talented at teaching others?”

“Me? I’ve never taught anything really great… It’s all the basics, the basics.”

Growing Rike is really putting her heart and soul into continuing her remarkable growth even at home, away from class.

Chloe is aware that she is also Eclair’s younger sister, and she calls her older brother, and she is cute when she follows her carefully.

Then what about Seria…? It’s just that she gets it back exactly as much as Seria works hard.

“I know it’s really not possible to ask for something like this, but… Let Seria take even the slightest interest in theories like economics and alchemy—-.”

As Lilyne spoke her words carefully, her shrill voice echoed through her tavern and cut her off.

“Roman…You stupid bastard!! Come up quickly!”

It wasn’t Eclair’s voice, but I naturally turned my head to the woman’s voice calling my name.

*****

ㅡI’m sorry… Since the two of us have experienced how hard life is for mixed races in the Commonwealth, we didn’t have the confidence to see a child suffering from mixed-race parents…

One day, her father and mother called and said that I was born in the Commonwealth of Vollasen.

As there were a group of people who defected to the Commonwealth even in the Empire, my parents were the opposite case.

Her father is a mixed blood of a dragon and a human, and her mother is a mixed blood of a dark elf and a human.

Mixed races are not welcome anywhere. It is no different from the Federation, which embraces multiple races.

If it wasn’t pure blood, it wouldn’t be much different from living as a different race who was allowed to show competence in an empire that puts forward the human-first principle without hiding it.

I went into exile at a time when I was dumbfounded with the expectation that it would be better than the federal government pretending to embrace mixed races on the outside.

Now, as much as I put in the effort, I have entered a stable period.

Surprisingly, on the outside, both of them are no different from humans.

When his father uses skills or mana, horns, a characteristic of the dragon race, grow, and his body, such as eyes and molars, shows a form unique to the dragon race.

Her mother was more beautiful than anyone else, befitting a mixed race of beauty, and she had a special talent for magic.

Having inherited that blood, I am truly a hybrid.

When I look in the mirror, I always worry about my identity.

‘Am I… Human? Yongin people? Elf? Or is it nothing?’

Her appearance resembled her mother, and she had a talent for certain attribute magic… But her skin was a dark color close to brown, like a child playing in the sunlight all day.

I am more concerned about the comfort of my father, who always says that he is happy because he looks healthy.

If you use magic or mana excessively, horns will sprout, and your eyes and molars will change like those of the dragon race.

Still, it is rare to use mana in everyday life.

Even if you don’t use mana to strengthen your body, you are strong.

It can turn stones into powder with simple muscle strength, and blades wielded by ordinary people who have not learned swordsmanship cannot pierce the skin.

When he was caught by a homeless man who was trying to kidnap him when he was young, and struggled, he was so surprised that he shook his fist and the homeless man’s face sank into death.

Even though he was of such an unusual mixed race, there were no major problems in his daily life.

There was a path that my parents had worked hard to pave.

Her father runs a small martial arts guild that teaches pure martial arts, and her mother uses her magical talents to work as a researcher and housewife in a renowned wizard guild.

Seeing her multi-talented parents and contemplating her own future, she decides to head down the path of her adventurer.

At Edelman, when others are preparing for a wedding or when nobles enter the academy, their party has reached the gold level.

She was not the youngest among the Empire’s adventurers, but she wanted to rise higher with the sense of accomplishment that she had accomplished an unprecedentedly great job in Edelman.

She herself is a gift given to her by her parents.

‘If I… Become platinum…’

Discrimination against mixed-race parents is still revealed in the middle of the day.

My parents laughed at the unfair discrimination because they didn’t want to raise my job, but I wanted to change myself.

Unless you are a high-ranking aristocrat, the fastest way is to become a platinum and proudly announce that you are of mixed blood, and build a story of good deeds and feats.

If it starts to spread through the mouths of bards, its fame will surely give strength to those who are discriminated against.

She made up her mind and summoned her friend and party member, who was also an adventurer.

“Roman. Let’s go to the capital.”

“···Suddenly?”

“So, are you going to be satisfied here?”

Roman, a childhood friend who grew up together since childhood.

On the other side of my father’s martial arts guild. As the second son of the swordsmanship guild run by retired gold-grade adventurers.

He also inherited his parents’ genes and has a great talent for swords, so we partyed together and acted as a twosome.

He is an ordinary human being unlike himself, but he did not discriminate against himself and his parents and was good at his skills.

“For us who are aiming for a gold grade or higher, there is a limit to the requests that fall to Edelman.”

“Um…Wouldn’t it be nice to just stay like this? The pay isn’t bad either…”

Although I didn’t like this indecisive look sometimes. She had already made up her mind and took notice rather than persuade her.

“Do whatever you want… I’ll go alone. You can get a party in the capital.”

“Su, how dangerous the capital is!”

“I don’t know. I’m leaving tomorrow right away.”

Leaving a word for Roman, who jumped up and restrained herself, she headed for her house.

…
…

Convincing her parents wasn’t too difficult.

She shows concern, but she is a parent who does not block the path she wants to go.

After making her promise that she would visit her occasionally when he wrote her letters and asked for her requests. After she was ready, she left Edelman and rode through the gate to Roman and the capital.

Upon arrival, the adventurer’s guild was definitely overflowing with high-risk jobs.

She was able to face herself and her peers, the gold ranks, quite often, but she was certain that Roman and she were the youngest.

In the adventurer’s guild in Edelman, there were also rare talented people.

When I talked to those people, I couldn’t go up to the blue gold level, but I had a career worthy of being called a veteran.

It was clear that even the same gold was much stronger than them.

The more veterans she faced, the more the girl’s expectations for a high-ranking adventurer continued to grow.

‘If you’re lucky, wouldn’t it be possible to encounter lapis lazuli or platinum…? If it’s blue gold, will it be stronger than my father?’

I wondered how strong it would be.

Rumor had it that Roman and her same name were famous adventurers who were the youngest to reach platinum, and she knew it herself.

A true liar who went around solving dangerous commissions alone and reached platinum as the youngest person.

‘If I work hard, I’ll be able to meet them someday.’

As a solo artist, it was difficult to find information about his achievements.

At first glance, there are only strange rumors spreading to cover up the information, so finding information about the inaction of Roman, an adventurer of platinum, has been fruitless so far.

The adventurers in the capital said that they sometimes show up at the guild when there’s work… But I’m not naive enough to easily believe that.

I didn’t expect that there would be great figures like blue gold or platinum in such a shady guild and an underground tavern with stale air.

Even if you become a blue-gold adventurer, you will be treated differently from gold grade, so if you wait while drinking luxurious liquor, the receptionists may come directly to the mansion with a request.

So he thought that he would have a chance to talk face to face only when he was on the same level as them.

You have to run without stopping. I have to run.

“Oh really···!”

I went down and checked to see if there was a person from the church who could carry out the mission together, and asked to come up, but there was no news from Roman even after a long time.

Annoyed by the gazes of adventurers glancing at her, the girl stomped her feet angrily toward the tavern in her basement and ran down her steps.

‘That idiot…!!’

The moment she saw Roman sitting in the corner among the female adventurers, smiling stupidly and drinking from her, it felt like her eyes went wide.

She strained her stomach and called out to Roman in a loud voice, as she did every time to finish off the indecisive Roman.

“Roman…You stupid bastard!! Come up quickly!”

As she spoke herself, her silence fell as if she had poured cold water on her tavern.

‘Huh···?’

Her anger evaporated at her sudden change of mood, and she came to her senses.

Exciting faces with a look of fear and anticipation of what will happen in the future.

Dreuk-

A muscular man pushed a chair and stood up.

Jerk- jerk-

Stood in front of himself
