“Thank you, oneechan.”
“You’re welcome. But…. what should I do now?”
Perhaps she thought that she couldn’t leave a baby alone, the girl furrowed her eyebrows a little worriedly.
“Perhaps, is Fana-oneechan an adventurer?”
“Hmm. That’s right.”
“Then, I wonder if you are going to the Adventurer’s Guild now?”
“I’m going. You are quite perceptive.”
“Well, I want to be an adventurer.”
“I see. Good luck.”
“Mmm. That’s also why I want you to take me to the Adventurer’s Guild.”
“Do you want to visit?”
“No. I’m going to register as an adventurer.”
“………… At that age?”
Anyway, I ended up being taken to the Adventurer’s Guild. What came into view is a fairly sturdy three-story building. Once inside, the smell of sweat and alcohol hits my nose. There seemed to be a tavern attached to it, and the adventurers who had finished their work were already having a drink there. The lobby of the guild was quite noisy, but their gaze gradually gathered on us.
“Look, it’s Miss Fana.”
“She’s as beautiful as ever… I want to get close to her.”
“Haha, you’ll just get a kick and that’s the end of it.”
“I didn’t hear any rumors about her with a man though.”
“She’s been doing it solo for a long time now. I guess she is not interested in people, let alone men in the first place.”
“That’s possible. Hn? Isn’t she holding something?”
“That’s… a b-baby!?”
“D-Don’t tell me… she has a child!?”
Apparently, Fana-oneechan is well-known among adventurers. She’s certainly beautiful, and it’s not surprising that there are many men who want to get close to her. Thanks to that, we attracted attention.
But Fana-oneechan looked unconcerned and she just carried me all the way to the reception desk.
“Ilia”
“Oh, Fana-san, how can I help you today?”
The person who responded was another beautiful receptionist. Her name is Ilia huh.
“It’s not me, it’s this child.”
Saying that, Fana-oneechan put me on top of the counter.
“Oh my, what a cute baby.”
The receptionist’s face beams at me.
“He is so cute. Yosh, Yoosssh.”
It appears that she likes children, she strokes my head and she baby talks at me.
“Right. What’s the matter with this child?”
“I picked him up outside the city.”
“…… Did you pick him up?”
“Yes, he just suddenly talked to me.”
“He talked to you….? Ah-, his mother asked Fana-san to raise him because she couldn’t raise him on her own…”
“No. This kid talked to me.”
“……Ah?”
“He wants to be an adventurer he says.”
“Uhm… I don’t really get what you’re saying…”
She seemed confused, so I opened my mouth to explain myself.
“Receptionist onee-chan, I want to be an adventurer, can I register?”
“Fufufu, I’m sorry my dear. You have to wait until you are a little older… Eh? W-Wait…, t-the baby just… he just talked!!!?”
The receptionist was so shocked that she almost fell out of her chair.
“H-Hey, w-w-what’s going on….!?”
“As you can see, this child is a gutsy one.”
“You-, this outrageous matter…. you just said, he’s gutsy…?”
I asked the receptionist, who looked perplexed.
“There is no age limit for adventurer registration, right?”
“C-Certainly. Anyone can take the exam, but….… Even if you did, I don’t think you could pass…”
“Exam? Is there an exam to become an adventurer now?”
“What do you mean now…?”
When I asked for details, it appears that to become an adventurer, one needs to pass two exams: practical and a written one. In my previous life, all I had to do was go to the reception desk and become an adventurer.
“Is there an age limit for the exam?”
“Well, there’s no limit, but it’s too unheard of for a baby to take it… Can I check with the Guild Leader for a moment? No, if you don’t mind, will you come with me? If I just talk about it, he’ll never believe it you see.”
“Alright. Then please take me to the Guild Leader.”
I said so and then I jump off the counter.
“Ah! It’s dangerous—”
“It’s okay.”
“……”
When I landed firmly, the receptionist muttered,
“Really, what’s with this baby…?”
