Chapter 14 An Adventurer's Daily Life

In a very distant age, when famous craftsmen emerged in succession, it was the peak of development for human, beastman, and elven civilizations.

And at that time, there was a human blacksmith who could be called a legend.

In order to broaden his horizons, he embarked on a long journey alone.

The long journey ended, and it was time for the blacksmith to return.

But when this blacksmith returned, what people saw were his eyes, filled with the vicissitudes of life.

The first thing he did upon his return was to dive headfirst into his workshop and begin forging swords day and night.

It is unknown how long it took, but the blacksmith walked out of the workshop with a simple and unadorned sword.

After handing the sword to his apprentice, the blacksmith went to sleep… and it was an eternal slumber.

As the last sword forged by the blacksmith, his apprentice named it 「Final Echo」.

No one knew what had happened during the blacksmith's journey.

The only thing known were the words the blacksmith spoke on his deathbed.

——“This sword was not forged for killing.”

——“Please let the one who holds it remember to be prepared to move forward.”

The blacksmith's words piqued the interest of many.

Unfortunately, in the end, this sword was not remembered by people.

「Final Echo」 had a reasonably sharp blade, but it was far from the level of being rated a famous sword.

Even though its texture was hard, it was still not favored by sword users.

After all, it was a sword; hardness alone was not enough.

It had no ornate patterns on the blade, and even the hilt was simple, causing people to overlook its long, slender, and perfectly streamlined body.

In the end, the world's evaluation of the sword that the blacksmith had exhausted his life to create was "an excellent work," rather than a famous sword.

Just like that, 「Final Echo」 was forgotten, placed in some unknown corner.

When it came to swords, perhaps only famous swords could catch the eye of connoisseurs and be remembered by everyone.

In the end, what was generally acknowledged was that 「Final Echo」 was just an ordinary sword.

Carrying 「Final Echo」 on his back, Bray walked into the Adventurer's Guild.

In reality, though it was called a guild, it was essentially a place of an intermediary nature.

Through a good period of hard work, Bray had at least progressed from an F-rank salted fish to E-rank.

He was just one step away from becoming a "big shot" D-rank adventurer!

Without a dream, there is no motivation to work; this was what Bray thought.

Bray walked several circles around the guild's notice board but still couldn't find a quest suitable for him to complete alone.

"Eek!!!! Don't touch there!!!!" A young girl lay in the middle of the guild, her face flushed red, tightly clamping her legs together.

The girl's long, sky-blue hair was slightly curled.

Right now, the girl's emerald-green eyes looked as if they were about to overflow with water.

Her azure, off-the-shoulder short robe was covered with exquisite patterns.

The girl struggled to get up, the scenery under her short skirt faintly visible.

Bray could even hear the rising waves of wolf howls in the guild.

Although Bray himself really wanted to join in the howling, he sighed and looked away.

"Young Miss… if you don't come back with me, I will continue."

A young girl with short black hair and slanted bangs, dressed in a maid outfit, pressed her body down on her.

"I won't go back!!! I definitely won't go back!!!"

"In that case, please forgive Blanche for her rudeness."

"Mmm~ Eek~"

Bray covered his right eye, observing this good show through the gaps between his fingers.

——“In broad daylight, this is just great.”

Bray, pretending to cover his eye, nodded, giving a thumbs-up to this welfare art.

“However, these two people probably have nothing to do with me.”

Bray shrugged and continued to look for a suitable quest.

Unfortunately, Bray found that he was still too naive.

"Hello, sir, I am Virginia, and this is Blanche."

The sky-blue-haired girl brought the maid before me, smiling as she introduced herself.

The two girls who had just put on a welfare show were quickly targeted by the major lechers.

The swarming adventurers coerced and enticed the two girls to join their teams.

That's right, these two girls were adventurers, and new adventurers at that, meaning F-rank.

But it was clear that the two girls had no intention of paying any attention to these lechers, nor did they have any interest in those who were playing hard to get.

In the end, they chose someone who looked a bit more reliable among those present, yes, that was Bray.

Wearing an eyepatch, not rough-looking, and even seemed to have a certain air about him.

Virginia's eyes lit up, and she approached Bray.

Bray glanced at Virginia and Blanche.

Blanche had a cold expression, while Virginia's eyes were shining brightly.

Could it be love at first sight?

——“Am I an idiot… to actually be hoping for something like this.”

Bray couldn't help but roast himself.

The two's appearances were truly stunning, and the vast majority of people would be moved by them.

Bray… could be considered one of them, right?

But after a couple more glances, Bray, whose mind was momentarily clouded by lust, calmed down.

"Is there some…"

However, before Bray could finish his sentence, Virginia spoke excitedly.

"Sir, how many people in your party?"

"Um… just me.,"

"Then~ can you team up with us?"

——“A young lady going out, being an adventurer for the novelty of it…”

Bray seemed to realize that he had no room to refuse.

After his dead-fish eye swept over the two outstanding girls, Bray's face was full of dejection.

"Alright…"

Seeing Bray like this, Virginia suddenly felt that perhaps she shouldn't have chosen to join Bray's team.

"Schlick——"

Blanche's eyelids were lowered as she deftly twirled the two daggers in her hands.

In front of her was a bovine-type magical beast that had been dismembered into eight pieces.

"Young Miss, the butchering is complete."

Blanche frowned, clearly this kind of work was not to her liking.

In the past two months, the number of times Blanche had frowned was too many to count.

Virginia chanted in a low voice, and the rising cold air coated the magical beast's corpse with a layer of frost.

"The ingredients have been collected."

Virginia flicked the hair by her ear and said to Bray with a smile.

For Virginia, being an adventurer was a novel experience.

Full of fun and challenges.

"This makes us D-rank adventurers, right?"

Virginia asked Bray.

Bray nodded, walked over to the cryo-preserved corpse, took out a rope, and began to tie it up.

He had been working with Virginia and Blanche for two months now.

And during this time, Bray probably understood just how much of a salted fish he was.

Sigh, I just got carried to D-rank.

"Virginia, give me a hand, make a simple pushcart."

Bray let out a breath.

Being able to use magic was truly a good thing.

"Okay, Bray~" Virginia replied with a smile.
