Peace returned after I reported the stalking actions.
Is what I would like to say. But like usual, the cook was glaring at , and Neil continued to annoy . No, I guess the cook was alright? His attitude was bad, but he still properly cooked food for .
Thus, the problem was Neil. After I reported him to the guild master, it seems he was lectured, but despite that he was still following . He ambushed in front of the inn, tried following to the gathering site (as expected his friends stopped him), and he even tried inviting to dinner after I completed my sales at the guild. Rather, inviting to dinner didnt really make sense. Dont you already have a lover? Invite her instead. Thanks to him, Tess was giving harsh looks. Why? I didnt do anything wrong.
Collie was as brazen as usual. She was acting like the two of us were friends rather than acquaintances. And she also said stuff like: please share so of your herbs with us, or I heard youre good at cooking, make so, and such. Which didnt really make any sense. I pity Beck who had to keep these three people in check. But please continue working hard for my sake.
I spent a week dealing with things like that, but I had reached my limit. Alright, lets run away. Or to be more precise, I guess I would be taking a brief refuge? Rather, I was interested about the seaside village located towards the southeast that I heard in my eavesdropping. As such, I decided to go there.
I guess I should inform Lily first? In the morning, I decided to inform Lily before going to work.
Lily, I will be leaving the inn tomorrow. Can I get a refund for the days Ive prepaid for? Eh!? What do you an!? Did I do sothing to upset you? Or did the cook do sothing again!?
No, no, that wasnt the case at all. And so I began explaining. That there was a disgusting stalker following , and that I wanted to go to the sea for quite a while now, so I was just going to take a quick look. And that I was planning to return after that. I was also worried about the children.
The misunderstanding was resolved after my explanation, and I was told that there would be no problems with the refund. Apparently, there was also no cancellation fee, which made a bit happy.
I briefly scanned my surroundings after leaving the inn. That person wasnt here. There was no reaction from Detection. Good. I hurriedly exited the town. After exiting the gate I look around for the children. But they all gathered imdiately before I had to search around. And so we headed towards the forest near the river. The restrictions for the south forest had been lifted. But the forest near the river was much more abundant, so I ended up continuing to gather there. And if I were to go to the south forest, I would end up eting Neil and the others..as it seems they were mainly hunting around there, and thus that was the case.
We arrived at the usual gathering spot and start gathering. Now then, when should I tell them? I decided to tell them a bit later, so I broke the news at noon, but everyone was a lot more calr than I expected. Rather, the reaction was more along the lines of it couldnt be helped.
I knew that the ti would co soday, so it cant be helped. We will buy our own weapons to defend ourselves with, and we will do our best. We cant keep on relying on you. From now on, we will gather in the shallower parts of the forest, that way we can escape more easily.
.Everyone was being quite positive. For so reason, I felt happy. Good, do your best.
On the way back that day, I gave two recovery potions to Shin and Yui. It wasnt ant as a farewell. I just thought it could be used in place of an insurance if sothing were to happen. Even if these children were to get seriously injured, they wouldnt have enough money to see a doctor. I couldnt take care of them forever, but I also couldnt abandon them at this point. I knew I was just being a hypocrite. I told them that they could also sell it, but judging from the expressions on the two, they probably wouldnt do it.
Lily was crying when I returned to the inn after I finished my sales at the guild. Stuff about being lonely, food, and etc. I might have fed her a bit too much. Ill reflect on that.
The next day I woke up a little earlier than usual and left the inn. I ate so bread for breakfast, then said goodbye to Lily. I wonder if she will be alright?
Before leaving town, I went to the guild. For starters, I should drop by and say goodbye.
If I could get an escort job that went towards my destination, then I could also earn money while I was at it. But escort requests could only be accepted by D rank or higher. Or to be more accurate, it was recomnded to be D rank or higher, but I decided to give up since I was still only F rank.
The morning in the guild was like usual. The bulletin board was crowded and the counters were also crowded. Salena..I found her.
Salena. Oh, Ren? What brings you here today? I was thinking about heading south. Eh? Are you leaving this town? Well, yes. But Im planning to return here afterwards. Although I dont really know when that will be.
Is that so.ah, can you wait for a bit? Itll be over quickly, so would it be possible for you to lend your guild card? Yes? Ren, youre being promoted to E rank, so I just need to process that. Eh? Promoted? Isnt it too soon? Ren has made nurous contributions, so the decision was made yesterday.
It would seem I was being comnded on the stable and large supply of herbs I was bringing in, including rare ones, the sale of orc at, for helping low-ranking child adventurers, and for eliminating an ogre. But still, it has only been a month since I beca an adventurer, so isnt it still too soon? Those under thirteen years old would usually have their adventurer rank kept the sa. So I was supposed to wait two more years before being able to rank up.
Alright, I have finished. Here is your new card. Thank you very much. Not at all. Then take care. Yes.
Since Lily was acting up when I was leaving, I thought Salena might also be the sa, but she was quite easy. Well, it would be difficult to start crying when there were so many people around.
After finishing my goodbyes, I exited through the gate. When I gave a brief glance around, the children were a bit further away in the distance. Upon noticing , the children started waving towards . I gave a slight wave back before continuing on my way. After seeing that, the children also began moving towards the gathering spot. Good, do your best.
Now then, for the ti being, it would be just Norn and Bell again, so just us three. Norn said that Bells hunting skills have improved a lot, so I guess I could look forward to that?
And with that sort of feeling, I headed for the sea.
