Who Says I’m Not a Legitimate Adventurer?

Nia suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as if a lump of damp cotton had been stuffed inside.

So from beginning to end, she had been the only foolish one—believing that everyone could stay in this small town forever, always playing cards together, always this happy.

But she remembered that today was Lance’s housewarming—a day worth celebrating.

Everyone had broader futures ahead of them. Their lives would only get better. I shouldn’t feel sad. I can’t ruin the mood at a time like this.

Nia desperately warned herself in her heart.

I can’t cry.

But the tears refused to listen, already welling up in her eyes.
