Book 3: Chapter 3
The application for a meeting with a Lev citizen who lives in the Lev Magic Empire has been completed. I wrote and submitted the names of Emma-san, the daughter of old man Hinga, and his granddaughter, Lulusha-san. After this, they will contact the Empire on the other side, and if Lulusha-san wishes to meet, they will schedule a date for the visit, and if she does not wish to meet, they will inform us of that.
The application result will be put up on a bulletin board at 7:00 in the morning, so I just have to wait for it.
Incidentally, the person in charge at the counter was a Lev citizen, and their eyes, from behind the spectacles sitting on the nose bridge, was looking at me as though trying to get a read. Even if that person was a Lev citizen – to be honest, I don’t think I can tell apart one Lev citizen from another – the impression I got from them was quite different from Muge-san.
We camped in the public square that night. A huge bonfire was lit in the center. Adventurers gathered around it, wrapped in blankets to sleep, and to serve sake. There was a small inn, but it couldn’t accommodate the number of people gathered here.
Dante-san talked about Leon and the Golden Brigade while biting into a dried meat that had been cooked over fire.
「Well, it’s not a uncommon story, though.」
A young man venturing to the city because he couldn’t make a living in a rural area, or else wishing to get rich quick. However, even in the city, you have to compete for work, and those who are confident in their skills become adventurers.
In the case of Dante-san, he lost his wife to an epidemic early and left his daughter, Non-san, in the care of the church and chose to be an adventurer to earn money quick.
「I would always be talking about being solid and steady… so before long, my companions pushed the defensive position onto me.」
