Chapter 329 – Letters You Don’t Want to Receive

Lily was confident that her body was in perfect condition.

Since she had many grateful people around her who cared about her, she chose a relatively low-difficulty request to rehabilitate her senses and prove that she was okay.

But she is not relieved that such a premise has stuck.

It is common for requests to be accompanied by unexpected risks or events.

The act of letting one’s guard down goes against the very principles of the adventurer profession.

Because I have this spirit.

After completing the request, the vanguard can return home instead of the church.

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

“Thanks for your efforts.”

Although it took a day longer to complete the request than initially expected.

This is such a common case that no one is upset about it.

“Before, I still had stamina left after this, so I only thought about the next request. But these days, I’m desperate to think about home.”

Following in the footsteps of Lark, who often laments that he doesn’t want to grow old.

Chambers and Liline got into the carriage to head to the gated estate.

After completing the request, Lark’s party naturally moves on to Saddam.

Minor matters such as distribution according to merit have been decided since ancient times.

“I don’t have any problems with my activities, but I’m a bit worried about the direction of the party if Lily’s gets married to Roman.”

“Hmm… I’m sure it would be right to think about that.”

The two men can easily continue their work as adventurers even if they have spouses.

The case of female adventurers is different.

That’s why Lark and Chambers targeted Lilyne’s possibility of pregnancy.

It wasn’t sexual harassment, but it was an important story that adventurers’ parties needed to plan ahead of time.

“Ahaha…”

Let’s see Lily’s unique embarrassing smile.

Lark, the leader of the party, asked seriously.

“Do you have any plans or schedules with Roman?”

“The situation is complicated in many ways… But I also want to watch over Seria until she takes her place.”

When Lark and Chambers heard Ceria’s story, they immediately nodded in understanding.

From Lily’s point of view, she desperately wants to marry Roman right away.

Starting from Rike to Seria.

There are a variety of serious circumstances that cannot be easily disclosed to the outside world.

“But Roman doesn’t stop doing it, does he? Even the Yongin girl was so excited that Roman treated her so well.”

The two even know about the relationship between Roman and Alice, as Liline is haunted by her demons and works with Alice on her request, which left a hole in her.

On the day I returned from the Mist Nest, the church openly sent people away with the intention of doing something to Roman, so it would be strange not to know.

“Roman is very kind. Now that I have someone I can rely on, I feel calmer and have found a sense of stability.”

“That rough guy is kind… It’s really amazing.”

Until there.

That was enough without any further questions, so Lark and Chambers took out their equipment and began working on it.

“Mr.! The blood has completely hardened.”

“I told you to clean it up in advance.”

No matter what the two people were talking about in the rickety carriage, Lily continued to look outside and cast her gaze towards the distant mountains.

“···.”

When the mountain suddenly broke off from the continuing scenery.

I made a promise.

“I think I should tell you two in advance.”

She talked with Roman and decided on a direction, but it took a long time for her to speak out.

“Hmm?”

Lark and Chambers, who were organizing their equipment, focused their attention on Lilyne.

“···About future plans.”

Lily’s voice cracked and she let out a loud sound.

Chambers gave a signal to Lark by tapping him with his elbow to create a comfortable atmosphere.

“Even if you don’t know what you’re going to say, just say it comfortably. If you go back to making a blank face like that, Roman will come for me first with a knife.”

“It will be me the second time. It’s scary to even think about it.”

Chambers takes the joke and ends it cleanly.

Lily’s eyes were tearful, but the corners of her mouth were raised.

She is trying to hold on to her heart.

The past and experiences I had had since I started becoming an adventurer were pouring out of my head.

“Until now, I’ve never thought that being an adventurer was a good fit for me…”

Because I thought that being an adventurer was the fastest way to take Ceria out of the territory and take responsibility for it.

With only meager magic skills, I entered the industry without any plan.

However, her natural nature could not adapt to her adventurer status as time passed.

Not only did she experience numerous crises, but she also experienced human malice that was more horrifying than monsters.

In the early days of my adventure, I spent every day soaking my pillow with tears of loneliness and pain.

“We know that.”

“So there was a part of me that felt relieved when I said I was dating Roman.”

The two people nodded as if they knew.

Lily, feeling relieved by the gentle response, followed in her calming voice.

“When the time comes, I plan to seize the opportunity Mr. Roman gives me.”

“What if it’s a chance?”

“···I want to quit being an adventurer.”

It was a shocking statement that a talented wizard would be left out, but no one was surprised.

She had expectations from the beginning.

Lark smiled as lightly as possible, knowing that Lily had suffered from pain in her heart since long ago.

“I have no intention of stopping it just because I quit. It’s not a problem that can be stopped even if I try to stop it.”

“Thank you for your understanding…”

Lily lets you lower her head and then raise it.

The inside of the carriage was filled with the sound of the wheels clattering and Chambers drooling.

“Lark. We have to think carefully here too.”

“Hmm? No matter what, we’re not catching people who leave.”

“That’s not the story. It means that we can’t make being an adventurer our life’s work.”

Chambers said that they, too, should consider when it is time to stop being adventurers.

Those words weighed heavily on Lark, as he had recently been feeling tired easily.

“Ah – indeed.”

“Of course, the dream of reaching Cheonggeum is important. But quitting being an adventurer while your limbs are intact is also one of the luckiest of luck.”

“···Well, it’s not wrong. It’s hard to imagine what it would be like after I quit being an adventurer.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if we raise Lark together by helping Bruna with her blacksmith work?”

Lately, Lark has been desperately missing his children.

When he imagined that future, he realized that it wasn’t so bad.

“Let’s think about this seriously.”

*****

After Lily finished her request, she is returning from afar.

It’s a time for Seria to reminisce and reflect on her brief experience as an adventurer that happened two days ago.

“It’s finally today!!”

As Ceria shouted out loud, today was her first practical class.

Not the scary male instructor who makes the cadets’ eyes fall to the floor.

This was the first practical class conducted with a cute assistant instructor who immediately caught the attention of men.

“Today is the first class, so the instructor only wants to give advice to cadets who have no experience in this class.”

After completing the attendance, Roman looked around at the standing cadets and then lowered his gaze towards Alice standing next to him.

“The assistant instructor will be responsible for dealing with each cadet.”

The eyes of several male cadets flashed at Roman’s words.

Cadets who have completed their first year of school have expectations that they may not be beaten to death today.

The cadets who came to class for the first time dreamed of having fun with Alice’s delicate wrists.

But.

Alice’s cute bare fists were incredibly hot for a single cadet to endure.

“Keo-eo-ok!”

Although it is clearly pure strength that does not use mana.

When a tiny fist gets stuck in my stomach, my eyes get bloodshot and I tend to brag about everything I ate for breakfast.

“If you get hit in the stomach and can’t straighten your back, you should at least try to fall back.”

Bye!

The moment when you get a low kick disguised as a check.

You even have the strange experience of your body floating up and kissing the floor.

“I’m still not good at falling, so practice it until it comes out unconsciously. If you break your neck, you’ll die.”

– Hiss!!

In contrast to the calm Alice, the excited Thero fluttered its buds and tail on the girl’s head.

Alice checked on the cadet being moved to receive treatment.

I turned my head towards where the cadets were gathered.

“Next.”

Now, there were no cadets who approached her lightly after seeing her appearance or her position as a wizard.

Fortunately, there were only three people who had the skills to avoid being in trouble.

“Kwaaaaah!!!”

Alice’s punch, which has no skill in controlling her strength.

The singing did not stop until the class ended.

··
··

“Whoa!! Alice, I almost broke my arm with her fist.”

After receiving treatment, her bruises disappeared.

Ceria checked her arms again to see if any remnants of that dizzying strength still remained.

“But you’re good at stopping it?”

At Rike’s praise, Seria walked forward and smiled happily.

“The adventurer told me to learn how to use her fists and feet properly. So I often learned from her older sister.”

After a sweaty practical class, a shower is essential before starting the next class.

Seria stopped by the academy dormitory with Rike and Chloe on either side.

She didn’t miss the sight of one of her envelopes sticking out of her own mailbox.

“Who else confessed?”

“Wow! Really?!”

At Rike’s words, Chloe covered her mouth and let out her characteristic exclamation.

But Ceria raised her sassy nose like usual and she couldn’t help but smile.

“···.”

Sarah-

Ceria’s expression became stiff after checking the front and back of her letter several times.

– Gerritz Electra

A disgusting name that cannot be welcomed.

It was a letter from Baron Electra’s eldest son.
