Aoi-chan and Hina-chan discussed with each other whether or not they would become adventurers, and as Alice had predicted, they ultimately decided to become adventurers.
With Luna-san’s help, they prepared and submitted the documents to be submitted to the Adventurer’s Guild, and completed the several-day basic course without any problems.
I was wondering what they would do regarding their family register, but Lilia-san seemed to have talked to Ryze-san about it, and the two of them soon received their certificates as citizens of Symphonia Kingdom.
I feel like Alice may have already arranged it back then, but at any rate, the preparations were complete and my two kouhais became adventurers.
Then, the day they’re getting their first quest, and will be meeting with the escort arranged for them…… the disguised Alice.
Alice said that she would be preparing an appropriate quest for them, so we only made preparations and waited for the escort in front of the mansion.
I don’t know if they’re interested regarding this matter or not, but Lilia-san, Luna-san and Sieg-san were also here, and Lilia-san seemed to be a little uneasy about the escort that Alice had arranged.
[Even so, you two are going to become adventurers too huh. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult with me. Phantasmal King-sama is going to arrange an escort for you this time, so there shouldn’t be any problem, but if need be, you can always ask me and I’ll be your companion. Well, there may be some things I’ve forgotten now……]
[Luna is a former Peak-rank adventurer after all.]
Luna-san was a Peak-ranking adventurer who used to be known as the Black Lily Adventurer, so she naturally has a lot of experience as an adventurer. She seems to know a lot of trivia, so I think it’s very reassuring for the two to have someone close by that they can talk to.
While Luna-san and Sieg-san calmly spoke to the two, Lilia-san, looking around with a slightly anxious expression on her face, muttered.
[……The scheduled meeting time is close, but I couldn’t see the escort?]
[Ahh, you’re right. If they’re coming, I think it should be about time we saw them around the gate……]
As I responded to Lilia-san’s words, the conversation turned to the said escort.
[However, I wonder who it is? I guess it would be one of the Peak-rank Adventurers huh?]
[Hmmm, I wonder? Indeed, if they’re also teaching adventurers, it isn’t enough for them to have a high fighting strength, and it wouldn’t be surprising that the Phantasmal King-sama can arrange Peak-rank Adventurers……. but if she’s going to commission for a Peak-rank Adventurer, couldn’t I just escort them myself?]
[……I guess so. There must be some reason why the Phantasmal King is arranging for someone else instead of Luna.]
Sieg-san, Luna-san and Lilia-san exchanged a few words with each other, while Aoi-chan and Hina-chan looked a little nervous.
Well, the companion would be Alice herself, so as for why not Luna-san…… I guess it’s a choice that is typical of the helpful Alice.
However, I also don’t know what identity Alice was going to disguise into. For someone who would make Lilia-san and the others, who were thinking of leaving the two to Luna-san, consent with Alice’s decision, I guess it would have to be someone famous?
[Hmmm, I also haven’t heard anything from Alice myself…… I wonder who that is?]
[Let me answer your question! That would be me!!!]
[ [ [ [ [ [!? ] ] ] ] ] ]
As if in response to my mumble, a voice suddenly resounded…… from above. Surprised, we looked up and saw someone standing on the roof of the mansion…… but I couldn’t properly see her because she stands with the sun shining behind her.
[First: Sipping the lifeblood of the Humans’ world. Second: Indulging in insolent misdeeds. Third: “Whatever I said has nothing to do with today”! Touu!]
What is this…… This speech is filled with undisguised idiocy…… While I was in a complicated mood, reflexively feeling disappointed, with the sun behind their back, the figure leapt from the roof and landed in front of us.
[Shutaaa!]
The sound of her landing…… was something she verbally spoke, but I wonder what this feeling I have? I feel like the person that arrived here has quite the character.
Her hair had two colors of brown and black, just like custard pudding, and only the right side of hair is braided into a long braid. The hair on the back of her head was quite long, but it was tied in a thin strand, and combined with her movements, it looked like a tail.
The woman of about 150 cm, wearing light clothing that seemed to be easy to move around in, slightly peculiar circular pouches on both of her hips, and a cloak that covered only the upper half of her body, looked towards us, and making a pose, she spoke.
[Traversing the Three Realms, the Great Chivalrous Thief of Love and Justice! Hapti makes her entrance!!!]
The name she loudly announced sounds rather familiar. I mean, if I remember correctly, that’s a pretty big name in this world……
Thereupon, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lilia-san slumped down and kneeling on the ground.
[My Lady!?]
[……Luna…… She called herself Hapti……]
[……That, she did.]
[……It’s the same name as one of the Hero Party, whose “whereabouts became unknown a thousand years ago”……]
[I- It could just be another person with the same name……]
[……But this is a situation related to Kaito-san, you know?]
[She’s the real one. I’m sure of it.]
That’s strange. Why the heck are they naturally saying that I’m at fault here…… No, well, since it’s related to Alice, I guess it really is related to me……]
A- Anyway, the person who showed up was unexpectedly the last member of the First Hero’s party, the self-proclaimed Chivalrous Thief Hapti-san.
……Incidentally, the book I read before described her as an all-around “Thief” and according to Neun-san, she was a money-grubbing troublemaker…… so I guess her, being a “Chivalrous” Thief is just self-proclaimed.
