It was not until the next day that the final result of the practical exam was announced by the examiner, Maricia. While everyone is waiting for the results with a nervous face, Maricia opens her mouth.

“There will be a retest.”

“““R-Retest!!?”””

 Everyone is surprised by the words as they never expected it.

“We didn’t know beforehand that there was a goblin lord there. And that there could be such a ridiculous number of goblins in that lair. If we knew from the start, we wouldn’t rush in with a fledglings like you guys. It was even in the kind of level where a skilled party of adventurers working together could get by you see.”

It seems that it was an unexpected situation. Considering the level of the examinees, at that time, I just thought the level of difficulty was ridiculous.

“The examiners like me didn’t even do much to justify an evaluation, so this exam is invalid. We will hold another practical exam at a later date.”

The examinees let out a sigh of relief after hearing that.

“T-thank goodness…I couldn’t do anything at that time.”

“Phew!.…I thought I was going to fail the exam because I rushed into things like that without thinking about the consequences…”

They seem to be satisfied with the retest.

“But you guys, keep this in mind. Irregularities like this one are not uncommon when you’re on an adventure. Every request has a difficulty level set, but when it comes to subjugating low-rank monsters, you can’t let your guard down. It’s a daily occurrence that when you actually go there, the set difficulty level is actually completely different.”

The examinees swallowed their saliva.

“There are probably some people who have lost their resolve to become adventurers after this incident. Of course, such people can decline the retest. Look here, I’m not trying to fan the flames but, even when we first met, as I had said, it’s definitely smarter to settle down and get a normal job than to be an adventurer. As someone who was about to die a while ago, I can vouch for that, kuhahahaha!”

“““(It’s not funny…)”””

It seemed that perhaps some of them would not actually come to the retest. There are a few people here and there who clearly have that kind of face.

 But a retest huh….

 It can’t be helped, but it’s troublesome.

“Mmmm. I’ve been unemployed for a long time now, I want to be able to earn my own money as soon as possible…”

“““Is that something a baby should say!?”””

When I mumbled to myself, everyone poked at me. Fortunately, Fana said that I could use her house freely, there are food in my subspace so it wasn’t much of a big problem.

“No, only you kid has passed.”

“Eh?”

As I was thinking about this, I was surprised when Maricia suddenly told me that I passed.

“Is that okay?”

“No matter how we think about it, there’s no point for you to retake the exam.  At that moment, you’re much stronger than me, a B-rank adventurer you see. So, in your case, it’s a different story. Quickly take your adventurer license and take on more and more difficult tasks.”

That is to say, I was able to become an adventurer safely.

　⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

“Hey, Guild Leader.”

“Maricia, I’ve heard the general story. There was a Goblin Lord, right? It was my fault. Our lack of investigation put you guys in danger. I’m sorry.”

The guild leader, Dorje, stood up and bowed his head as soon as a boyish female adventurer entered the room. He has already received the first report.

During the adventurer exam’s practical test, where she was the examiner, an unexpected situation occurred and the participants were almost wiped out. The content of the exam is decided by the guild. The examiner was only evaluating the examinees at the request of the guild so there was no fault in this case.

“It doesn’t matter. No, well, it did not go as planned but more than that, I am concerned of something else.”

It seemed that what Maricia wanted to ask was something else.

“What’s the matter with that baby!? It’s already unbelievable that he could talk and walk, yet he even easily cut the goblin lord in two with a sword! He also easily wiped out a large number of goblins with magic! On top of that, he also used Extra Heal! That magic is more effective than any other healing magic in this city at the moment. No one else could do that. Where the hell did that kid come from?”

“Ah? What… w-well, he is about a hundred times more amazing than I expected…”

“Uh!? Maricia-san!!? H-Hurry! Use healing magic right away!”

Maricia collapses with a pale face, and Colette rushes to her. The other examiners also took out potions and approached her.

“T-This wound is… it’s too deep…”

“It reached the internal organs! Just with this ordinary healing spell or potion… this…”

The severity of the wound made them gasp. Maricia pants and said in a voice that seemed to disappear at any moment.

“Right… Maybe… I can’t do it anymore…”

“U-uuh… Please don’t say that Maricia-san! I’m still confident in my healing magic!”

Colette desperately tries to heal her. Indeed, as she says, her healing magic seems to be quite good. However, a deadly amount of blood was already flowing from Maricia’s back after she was slashed by the goblin lord. At this rate, Maricia’s life force will run out before her treatment is finished. I pointed Lindwurm towards Maricia’s wound.

“Huh!? W-Wait, please don’t disturb me!”

“Leave it to me, I can heal a wound like this in an instant.”

“Eh?”

(Lindwurm, please help me with the magic you have saved up for a while.)

『Understood, Master.』

 I’m going to cast the highest-level healing magic.

“Extra Heal!”

The next moment, a fierce healing light burst out. As we watched, the blood flowing from Maricia’s back stopped, and the deep wound was closed. Furthermore, as the lost blood was regenerated, her pale complexion had improved.

“E-Extra Heal!?”

“D-Don’t tell me…. is it the legendary healing magic that can heal all kinds of wounds…!?”

“T-This kind of baby…”

 Maricia, who should have been almost unconscious, slowly sat up.

“Eh? I… Did I survive?”

“Maricia-san!? Are you okay?”

While everyone around her is worried, Maricia stands up on the spot.

She said, “I clearly felt like I was about to die, but now, I’m so powered up…In fact, it’s as if power is rising from the depths of my body…”

Extra Heal will restore any physical strength the target has lost or any chronic illnesses he/she may have had. If I applied it longer, it could heal the defects in her body. Well, I don’t have the magic to make that possible yet. I even consumed the magic I had supplied to Lindwurm before I was finally able to use Extra Heal.

“H-Hey! Look, even my wounds are healed!?”

“M-Me too! When did it happen!?”

Those who were nearby were also healed from their wounds in the after effects of the Extra Heal.

“The after effect alone can heal wound…”

“As expected from a legendary healing magic!”

“No, wait-, how can such a baby able to use that…?”

Colette came up to me.

“What do you mean by that!? Just now, that was really Extra Heal!? It’s the final goal that all healing magicians are aiming for! H-How, just how can a two-month-old baby use such a thing!?”

“Uhmm…”

As expected, I cannot say that I was the great sage in my previous life. If I don’t explain it well, I may not be able to escape just because I’m a baby. Worst, I may no longer be held in their arms.

『……Master』

 I struggled for a moment as to how to explain it, and then I simply said, “I don’t know either.”

“Is it talent?”

“““That was enough to convince youuuuu!!!?”””

 ……Then, for some reason, everyone teased me at the same time.

“Anyway, it all thanks to you kid. You’re my lifesaver. Well……if you hadn’t warned me then, I might have died instantly from the goblin lord’s sword.”

Maricia tells me that because she was able to react slightly, she was able to get away with just that wound.

“And…. I now understand. It is a fact that you are a ridiculously dangerous being. From the magic that annihilated the goblins earlier, and the healing magic just now…. it seems to me that you, a baby, that can talk, is within the realm of common sense.”

“Even the goblin can talk though.”

As Collete slumped on the ground, I got off her chest and tried to slash at the startled Goblin Lord. However, perhaps wary of me, a mysterious baby, the Goblin Lord immediately jumped back and distanced itself.

“W-What’s…going on…? Human…baby, doing some…thing like this…”

“It’s no use running away.”

“~~~~!?”

From the goblin lord’s point of view, he probably thought he was far enough. However, that position is still inside my reach. I closes the distance with a leap and slams Lindwurm into its head. The goblin lord panicked and tried to block it with its sword, but it was too late.

Clang!!

Lindwurm’s blade cut the Goblin Lord’s sword then directly sliced its body into half from the top of its head. Slowly, its body part ways and cries could be heard from the left and right side.

“Ga, a, aa-aaaaaaaa~~~~!?”

Thud. The left and right side of the body fell to the ground at the same time.

“G-Goblin Lord…”

“With one blow…?”

“T-The goblin lord that even seasoned adventurers struggle with…?”

The examiners and examinees were stunned. Colette suddenly made an enigmatic cry, “Awawawa.”

“““~~~~~~~~~~!?”””

On the other hand, the goblins were greatly panicked when their leader was killed. I’m not sure if all their power from before was gone or it’s just that they now don’t know what to do next, they just yelled, “Gaa-gaa-gaa”.

“Go! What are being dazed about!? Kill as many as you can right now…-ugh!”

“Y-Yes!”

In response to Malicia’s yell, the examinees went on the offensive in unison. The goblins outnumbered them, but the death of the Goblin Lord must have been a big deal. It was difficult for them to recover from the chaos and the tables were easily turned.

“Ga-gya-gya!”

“Gugya~~!”

“They’re going to run away!”

There are quite a few goblins running away. Goblins jump into a side hole like the offspring of a spider scattering. It would be a pain to annihilate them if they were scattered around the nest like this. I raised Lindwurm, which had returned to staff mode, and countless light blobs appeared at its tip.

“That baby…. what is he going to do this time?”

“Eh? W-What is this magical power… ?”

“Rather than that, this baby can even use magic!?”

 I then unleashed the blobs of light.

“Tracking type wide-area extermination magic, —Hunting Shower!”

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do!!!!

Countless chunks of light were emitted, directly hitting and penetrating the goblin’s head one after another. The goblins that fled to the depths of the nest were no exception, they were firmly pursued and killed.

Well, since the opponent is a goblin, the power is quite suppressed. In my previous life, when I seriously unleashed it, I was able to annihilate about 90% of the horde of demons in a stampede of tens of thousands with a single blow.

For a while, we heard the “Gah!” and “Gugee!” screams coming from various places. After that, the goblin’s screams stopped and like a storm that has just ended, it became quiet. Just in case, I deployed my search spell to check if there was a goblin who escaped.

“……Un, I think I’ve defeated all the goblins in the den.”

I don’t feel any living presence from the holes. The purpose of this exam, the extermination of goblins, has now been completed.

“““……”””

Everyone looks at me in disbelief. I took away the opportunity for the other examinees to appeal, but it could not be helped as it was no longer a case where I could lay low. Many of them have been injured or have lost their will to fight due to the appearance of the Goblin Lord after all.

One of the most severely injured is the examiner, Maricia.

“Geez…. that went way beyond my expectation! That darn guild leader…. if there is such a dangerous guy, he should have told me in advance…………Gah-…”

Maricia collapses with a pale face. Her back, which had been slashed by the Goblin Lord, was stained bright red with her blood.

Apparently, we were completely lured inside by the goblins. Surrounded by a group of goblins that easily exceeded a hundred, our escape route was blocked.

“……For god’s sake, I already told you guys. Don’t let your guard down!”

Maricia, the examiner, spoke dumbfoundedly.

“But even so, these goblins are too well organized… And this number… Don’t tell me…”

As she muttered thoughtfully, the goblins rushed towards us.

“U-Uh…. They’re coming!!”

“W-What’s with the fuss!? No matter how many there are, they’re just goblins! We can do it!”

“R-Right! On the contrary, it saves us a lot of trouble!”

While chiding each other, the examinees face the approaching goblins. However, in the face of the overwhelming number of goblins, even the bloodthirsty examinees, who had been dashing earlier, quickly realized that the situation was bad.

“T-Their number is too much, right!?”

“You can’t handle it!?”

“Gah-… D-Damn it!… Hey, rearguard, hurry up and cast a healing spell… uuh!”

 They are pushed in at once, and the formation is broken in no time.

“Gugaaaaaaaa!!!”

“W-What the hell is that guy!? Is it a goblin?”

“Ho-hobgoblin…!!!”

In addition, a giant goblin that is nearly two meters tall were among the goblins, making them suffer. It was a mutant specie called the hobgoblin, and although its movements was slow, it was a troublesome opponent as it has monstrous strength and high durability.

“……It can’t be helped then.”

At that moment, probably seeing that it was no longer possible for the examinees to handle it alone, Maricia pulled out the sword that was hanging on her waist.

“Oneechan!”

“Huh!?”

“Too late.”

At the sound of my voice, Maricia looked up quickly but the goblin came down faster than her. A sword curved like a saber slashes through Maricia’s back.

“Aaah!?”

“““Examiner-san!?”””

Maricia collapses with blood spurting from her back. What her stunned examinees saw was a goblin that was more than twice as large as a normal goblin and had a muscular physique.

“W-What is this guy…?”

“It’s not an ordinary goblin, right?”

 As the examinees held their breath, the active C-rank adventurers who had accompanied them exclaimed,

“N-No way… G-Goblin Lord!?”

“O-oi… I’ve never heard of such a thing!?”

Goblin Lord. As the name suggests, it’s the king of goblins. It is a special individual that is born by evolving from a goblin but happens very rarely. Moreover, its strength is in an order of magnitude different from that of a normal goblin. With a high level of leadership, the horde led by the Goblin Lord will reproduce at a tremendous speed and grow huge if left alone.

“……This one, fe…male. Fe…male…no… kill. Our….seedbed. Male….kill.”

“W-What’s more, this guy is able to speak!!?”

With the appearance of the Goblin Lord, the goblins roar out a brave roar.

“S-Seriously?? ….In addition to this number of goblins, there is even a goblin lord… -uh!”

“I-, I don’t want to die…!!!”

Even the reliable B-rank adventurer was slashed in the back and collapsed. In this desperate situation, the examinees were already in a frantic state.

“……Damn…… what did I…”

“Maricia-san! Right now you need to be healed! -uh!”

Colette tries to cast a healing spell on the fallen Maricia in a panic. But the goblin lord wasn’t the kind who would wait quietly until she was healed.

“Hea…ling magic…trouble”

“Hii!?”

The Goblin Lord swings his raised sword mercilessly down on Colette’s head.

Shing!

The sword had been stopped by my beloved staff, Lindwurm, who is now in sword mode.

“……eh?”

“It’s okay, oneechan.”

 I swung Lindwurm up with one hand and deflected the Goblin Lord’s sword.

“Gaa!? Im..pos…sible? Hu…man baby… stop… sword…?”

“Hello. Indeed, I’m a human baby.”

“Baby,… talking!?”

“You’re one to talk.”

It takes about two hours to get out of the city as we travel on foot. Basically, we were following the main road, but eventually, we deviated from the official road and approached a rocky area.

“Hey kids, we are almost there. See that big rock over there? Behind that is a cave, it is said that there is a goblin lair in the depths of it.”

Examiner Maricia said so. This is said to be the exam for us to become an adventurer. We are currently in the middle of that practical exam. This group of thirteen people, three examiners and ten examinees, will charge inside the goblin-infested cave and destroy it. That’s the content of this practical exam.

“Goblins huh. Isn’t it the weakest monster?”

“I went out near the village once before, even I, was able to beat it back then.”

“It looks a lot easier than I thought.”

Some of the examinees seem to have experience slaying goblins so they have plenty of time to spare.

“Oi oi, don’t let your guard down. You all, goblins are indeed small-sized monsters. If you have a weapon, even an average adult can kill it. But these guys are troublesome once they form a group. If they attack in groups, even the most seasoned adventurer can fall behind.”

It was Maricia who reprimanded them.

“By the way, we basically won’t interfere. We just need you to annihilate the goblins in the cave.”

It seems that the accompanying adventurers intend to devote themselves as examiners who judge the abilities of the examinees.

“That, you have to do your best…”

“Yes, Colette-oneechan.”

“Uhm… And how long should I hold you?”

I was being held by a girl named Colette, who is also one of the examinees. There was a girl with big boobs in just the right place, so when I asked her softly, she picked me up easily.

“Oneechan…. I still want to stay like this… Is it no good?”

“~~~~~~~Uh! I-It’s not that it’s not good. If you’re fine with me, I’ll give you as many hugs as you want!…”

Fufufu. That was easy. It didn’t work for Maricia, but her ability to control her maternal instinct to hold a baby is still wonderful. As we walked through the rocky terrain, we encountered several goblins.

“Oraaa!”

“Gya?”

“Fireball!”

“Gugya!?”

 However, each time, the examinees finish them off without danger.

“““Gya-gya-gya-gya!”””

“Oh, they’re going to run away.”

“Look! There’s a cave over there.”

 Eventually, we found a gaping cave at the base of a large rock. Seeing the goblins run away there, I guess that’s their lair.

“I’m going to show you what I’m capable of!”

“Haha, I’m sure I’ll pass!”

Despite Maricia’s advice earlier, the bloodthirsty examinees rush into the den with great prowess.

“Oi! Hey, isn’t that dangerous? We don’t know how many goblins there are yet…”

“But if this continues, they’re going to monopolize the credit, right?”

Even the slightly cautious group felt that they had to appeal in order to pass, so, not to be outdone, they immediately rushed into the den.

“Gya-gya-gya!”

“Gugye-gye-gee!”

“Gigigigi!”

While defeating the goblins that attack one after another, we advanced deeper and deeper. By the way, I’m in the last place. This is because Colette is the rearguard who specializes in healing and support magic.

“.…Everybody’s amazing…”

“U-n, but it’s dangerous if we keep going.”

“Eh?”

Eventually, we arrived at a space so large that it was hard to believe that it was inside the cave. The ceiling is also high, probably more than 20 meters high. Moreover, Eventually, we arrived at a space so large that it was hard to believe that it was inside the cave. The ceiling is also high, probably more than 20 meters high. Moreover, in the wall of this space, there were countless holes here and there.

“……For god’s sake, I already told you guys. Don’t let your guard down!”

Right after Maricia said that, goblins jumped out of the hole one after another.

“Wha-!?””

Even if they try to run back quickly, a large number of goblins stand in their way. Before we knew it, we were already surrounded by swarm of goblins, which easily exceeded a hundred.

“D-Don’t tell me….. they lured us inside!!?”

“……No matter what you say, he’s definitely going to pass. By the way, his score is 100 points. He got all the questions right.”

Apparently, it was a perfect score. Well, it’s not surprising as it’s just a matter of common sense.

『……So, why are you usually like that? Is it because you got little common sense?』

(No, I have it, you know.)

『You’re on to talk!』

The boy, who failed the exam with 47 points, raised his voice,

“I-Impossible!!! So, you’re saying that I lose to this kid in a commonsense question!?”

Isn’t he embarrassed to say it himself?

Well, if I were a real baby, it would certainly be embarrassing. However, I have knowledge of my past life. Even if he loses to me, it’s not something to be so pessimistic about.

“.…Damn! Anyway, even if that kid passed the written exam, he won’t be able to do anything in the practical exam!”

“That’s not true, though?”

“Ahn? ~~~~uh!?”

It would have seemed to the boy that I had suddenly disappeared from sight. Unlike the guild leader, he couldn’t follow my movements with his eyes at all. I could easily take the back of his neck.

“I’m here.”

“Uh! Y-You… when did you do it!?”

The boy tried to shake me off, but it was too late. The boy ended up hitting himself on the head.

“Ouuuch!?”

“Hey, even a baby like me seems to be able to fight pretty well, right?”

 Sitting back on my desk, I asked the boy who is writhing in agony.

“W-W-What, t-this brat… yo-!?”

Perhaps he was scared of me, but in the end, he retreated with a frightened expression and walked out of the room as if to escape.

A total of 10 examinees who successfully passed the written exam proceeded to the next practical exam. The designated meeting point an hour later is just outside the city gate.

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

“Okay. We’ll start the practical exam now. My name is Maricia. Listen kids. This time, I’m the B-rank adventurer who has been entrusted to be your proctor.”

She is a short-haired female adventurer with a sword at her waist.

“Let me tell you, the job of an adventurer is several times harder than you think. Of course, depending on your ability, it’s not a dream to make a lot of money and turn your life around. However, only a handful of geniuses can do that. Most adventurers are struggling to make ends meet. However, their lives are always at risk. You can’t do it with just a longing, right? Only those who are prepared to take this test, should take it. If not, just get a normal job. There are plenty of jobs in the world besides being an adventurer.”

It’s a sudden harsh word for those who are about to become adventurers. Some of the examinees’ cheeks stiffened in fear, but none of them really backed out.

“……Well, that’s fine. You are not really an adventurer yet so you guys can quit whenever you want to.”

“If only you hadn’t lost your life at the time.”, the examiner added softly.

“Uhm… I’m Lot. I’m a C-rank adventurer. I’m here to help you in this exam.”

“I’m Lana, and I’m also a C-rank adventurer.”

Apparently, these three active adventurers will supervise and judge this practical exam. By the way, the letters “B” and “C” refer to the rank of an adventurer. It’s a system that didn’t exist in my previous life. I was told by Fana and Ilia that it would always appear in the written exam. You can tell their experience and ability just by listening to their rank, so it’s probably not a bad system.

In the past, people used to judge someone’s ability based on their “Nth year of being an adventurer”. However, it didn’t necessarily correspond to his actual ability or strength. It was just a reference, and I think one could manipulate the figure to his advantage.

“Well, it looks like you’re all ready. Let’s get going……. well, I’d like to say that but,”

Examiner Maricia lowers her gaze to her chest for the first time.

“Hey, why have you been clinging to my chest for a while now?”

“Eh? Is it no good…?”

I asked as I hugged her chest and looked up at her with moist eyes.

“Ugh… No, you can’t look at me like that.… I’ve heard from the guild leader, but as long as you’re one of those taking the exam, even if you’re a baby, I can’t give special treatment, right?”

Mmm, it seems that her heart has wavered a little. However, it seems that my baby face, which is supposed to be filled with maternal love, doesn’t work.

 I had no choice but to jump off her chest.

“……It’s time to leave. The destination….. it’s the goblin den found in the northwest of the city. In other words, your goal is to annihilate the goblins. That’s what this practical exam is all about.”

I came to the exam hall. Well, the venue is in the Adventurer’s Guild building. There were about 20 boys and girls there. Like me, they must be an examinee as well. These are people who are about to become adventurers, and many of them seem to be relatively young. There were a few children who were only ten years old or so.

As expected, I’m the only baby, who is a little over two months old.

In the morning, there will be a written exam and the practical exam will be held in the afternoon. It also appears that only those who pass the written exam can proceed to take the practical exam in the afternoon.

According to what I heard from Fana and Ilia, the questions asked in the written exam are very simple general knowledge and common-sense questions that are necessary for adventurers. The passing score is 70 points.

The content of the questions does not change much every time, so the difficulty level is not high. ……However, it is said that the breakthrough rate is not very high, probably because many aspiring adventurers are weak-minded.

The content of the practical exam seems to vary depending on the time, but it seems that most of them will be a practical battle-style test, such as going out of the city to defeat monsters and completing actual requests.

The pass rate for both is only about 30 percent.

“Tsk! Who is it!? Who brought their child to the exam? Taking your child and be an adventurer, I guess you’ve been looking down on adventurers, aren’t you?”

When I was sitting down for the written exam, there was a boy who looked at me and said something like that. Apparently, he thought someone had brought their newborn child.

“It would be annoying if he starts crying during the exam. I don’t know whose kid it is, but at least let him out.”

 I corrected the misunderstanding.

“No, I’m going to take the exam too though?”

“……Huh?”

 The irritated boy’s eyes widened a lot.

“B-, B-, B-Baby… a baby that can taaaalk!!?”

“Yes.  As you can see, I can speak. Let’s do our best in the exam.”

“W-What the heck is this baby!?”

In the midst of the commotion in the hall, the examiner clapped his hands.

“Hush, it’s time to start the exam. ……Don’t worry about that baby. I can’t believe it either, but I heard that the guild leader himself has allowed him to take the exam.”

With a dazed look on their faces, the examinees took their seats. Questionnaires and answer sheets were distributed, and the written examination began.

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

The one-hour written exam is over.

“Aaah, I’m so tired. This is the first time I’ve sat for so long…”

“How was it? Did you do well?”

“Frankly, I’m not confident. I’ve filled in only about half of it…”

For adventurers who prided themselves on their physical strength, sitting still for long periods of time seemed painful in itself. In addition, many people say that the result was not very good.

No, it was insanely easy though…..

Honestly, it was all common sense problems at the level of children. Naturally, common sense must have changed from the past to now, so I had been supplementing my knowledge by asking Fana a lot of questions over the past two days. That was enough to complete my answers.

“Alright. We’ll announce the results in half an hour, we’ll meet again when it’s time.”

Grading seems to end in 30 minutes. There’s only about 20 people at most. I’ll just wait here for about 30 minutes.

“Wow!, this baby can really speak!”

“So cute. Hey, let me hold you too!”

“Hey, what about your father or your mother?”

While being loved by the girls who took the exam, I waited for 30 minutes. The examiner then returned.

“Alright, from here on, I’m going to announce the results. Okay, first, Azel…… Failed.”

“S-Seriously?… This is the second time in a row that I have failed the written exam…”

“Next, Ileira….. Passed.”

“I did it!”

“And then, Emidel… Failed”

“Dammmmn!”

It seems that the name of the examinee is read aloud, and then whether they passed or failed is announced.

“Balzer… Failed.”

“Huuuh!? How come!? I thought I have filled everything!?”

The examiner was approached by the boy who had been annoyed with me before the exam.

“……Certainly, they were all filled, but the correct answer was less than half of them. Your score was only 47 points.”

“Yo-, 47 points…”

He received giggles and laughter from the other examinees.

“I’m going to proceed. Next. Reus…”

Oh, it’s my turn.

“Passed.”

 Okay, it looks like I’ve made it through safely.

“Oi Oi, that’s impossible, right!? Why did that kid passed but I failed!?”

 It was Balzer, the boy from earlier, who spoke up again.

Sigh. No matter how much you complain, you just haven’t reached the passing grade.

The examiner talked to him in little annoyed voice,

“……No matter what you say, he’s definitely going to pass. By the way, his score is 100 points. He got all the questions right.”

Indeed, it may not be an amusing sight to see a baby camping alone in a park or square. Thus, I decided to indulge in the kindness of Fana.

Fufufu, this is also a baby’s privilege. If I were a grown man, I wouldn’t even be able to enter inside her room because she will be on guard.

『……Master is a grown man on the inside though.』

(Hey. Hey. What’s inside is not important, it’s the appearance that is important.)

Then, held in Fana’s chest, I was brought to a large building that was no less than the Adventurer’s Guild building mentioned earlier.

“We’re here.”

“Wow, it’s a pretty nice apartment.”

“Mmm. It’s a good place.”

It seems that she is renting a room in a high-end apartment complex. She must be making a lot of money.

“I don’t have to spend money on anything else. I just want a place to live. But a house is too big.”

Even so, her room is more than large enough for one person to live in. There is a living room, a kitchen, and three rooms. There are almost no things inside so it feels extra spacious.

“I go on a lot of adventures, so I just sleep here most of the time.”

 As she spoke, she placed me on a plush couch.

“Is your food, milk?”

“No, I’m okay with a normal ones.”

In the forest, I was already eating nuts and grilled meat. Since I have strengthened my stomach with magic, compared to most adults, I can already eat anything without being a picky eater.

“That saves me the trouble then.”

 Fana lightly touched her breasts and said a little apologetically.

“……I don’t have breast milk you see.”

Of course that’s a given. She hasn’t had children after all. Well, even if it doesn’t come out, let me suck it. Kufufu.

I don’t think she has read my thoughts, but while I was thinking so, Fana suddenly took off her clothes. No, it’s not strange at all. This is her house, and as she can see, I’m just a baby. There’s nothing wrong with her being naked.

 ……I can’t help but stare at it, but let me tell you, I’m not looking at it with lewd feelings. Mmm, she has nice, firm breasts.

“I’m going to take a bath, do you want to go with me?”

“I’m in!”

 Of course, my answer is immediate. I stripped off the clothes I was wearing—made from animal fur when I was in the woods—and instantly went in my birthday suit.

『…… Master?』

I felt that Lindwurm, who was supposed to have no eyes, was looking at me with squinted eyes. But I guess it was just my imagination. Besides, I’m just a baby so it’s not weird to take a bath with her.

“Hn. Let’s get in.”

Then, I was picked up by her, who is also completely naked. I poked and caressed it. Fufufu…… Well, bare breast is still the best. Since it’s not a big deal, let me bury my face in this enchanting gap. Kufufufu.

Even though I reincarnated, unfortunately, I couldn’t get my mom’s boobs. Well, Wolf Kaa-chan’s breasts are bare but… there were almost no boobs, just a few nipples.

『……Erojiji!』

 (No, you’re wrong there. Even with this, my libido is zero.)

Even that thing is still about the size of the tip of my little finger. I’m currently a baby after all. After that, we washed each other’s bodies and then I soaked in the bathtub while being held.

I super enjoyed a bath with a beautiful girl.

　⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

For two days I was taken care of at Fana’s house. It seems that she has been taking a long holiday, but she will go on an adventure again from today.

“I’m going out for a period of time. I won’t be back for a while. Do you want to use this room in the meantime?”

“Eh? Is that okay?”

“Mmm. I don’t mind.”

It was quite a pleasant offer. In the form of a baby, even if I can earn money, it seems difficult to rent a house and I wonder if I will be able to get a lodging.

“This is the duplicate key.”

“Thank you oneechan.”

“You won’t lose it, right?”

“It’s okay, I’ll put it in here.”

 I stored the key I received in my subspace.

“……Where has it disappeared to just now?”

“It’s a subspace created by magic.”

For now, it also contains food obtained in the forest. At present, it’s still at the limit of my current magical power so it’s only about the size of a small mansion at most. But in my previous life, it should have had enough capacity to hold an entire city.

However, my appearance as a baby is definitely the strongest. It seems like she trusts me completely.

『Don’t you feel any guilt? 』

 (What is that? Is it delicious?)

Lalala. Let’s continue to make the most of this baby’s appearance in the future.

“Haaaa? W-Wait a minute!? What’s with this baby!?”

The Guild Leader was surprised by Lindwurm, but when he noticed my presence, his eyes opened wide. Ilia, the receptionist, repeated her words, with a wry smile.

“So that’s how it is. Guild Leader, Miss Fana brought this baby to the reception just now.”

“Fana did?”

“She said she picked him up outside the city…”

“……I don’t really understand.”

I said hello again.

“Hello, I’m Reus. I want to be an adventurer.”

“To be honest, I haven’t been able to accept this situation at all yet. Furthermore, you are still at that age.”

“But, there’s no age limit for the exam, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right. So technically, it is possible for a baby to take it. However, even if you did, I don’t think you would be able to pass it. Even if you could speak and take a hundred steps, you still couldn’t walk properly. No, usually the order would be reversed, but…”

“It’s not like I can’t walk though. Here, look.”

I jump off Ilia’s boobs and land lightly. The next moment, I kicked the floor and I instantly moved to the ceiling.

“Eh?”

To Ilia, it must have looked like I disappeared, so she wandered her eyes around. On the other hand, albeit with a slight delay, the Guild Leader seemed to see my movements as his gaze followed me. Then I kicked the ceiling and moved to the wall behind the Guild Leader. Kicking that wall as well, I jumped onto the guild leader’s back.

The Guild Leader hurriedly looked back at me, but it was too late. Before he could turn around, I had already wrapped my legs around his neck and completed the shoulder ride.

“Wha-!?”

“See? I can move reasonably well, right? What do you think? Can I take the exam now?”

I asked as I pat the Guild Leader ’s bald head.

“I-Impossible… Even though I was caught off guard, I didn’t think that you would be able to get behind my back so easily. No, I couldn’t even catch it with my eyes in the first place. Even though I’m retired, I’m still a former A-rank adventurer…”

He muttered to his self and doesn’t answer my question at all.

Ilia was also perplexedly asks,

“Huh? Eh? When did you get to the Guild Leader?”

“Well, it wasn’t just that you can talk…. But you-, who the hell are you?”

“Huh? I’m just a baby.”

“You can’t be just baby!”

 It’s true though. The Guild Leader exhaled heavily,

“Well, the world of adventurers is a meritocracy. I can’t just turn away someone with that much power.”

“Then, can I take the exam?”

“Yes, I’ll tell the examiners beforehand. ……They’d be surprised if someone like you suddenly appeared you see.”

It looks like I can now take the exam. Ilia then gave me the schedule.

“Well, for the time being, the most recent exam date is the day after tomorrow, but…”

“Then please do that oneechan.”

“I-, I understand…”

　⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

-Dorje’s POV-

Ilia, the receptionist, leaves the room with the baby in her arms. The moment the door closed, as if the thread of tension that had been holding me tight had been broken, I involuntarily fell to my knees on the spot. Sweat dripped from my forehead and it wet the floor.

“…… A ridiculous monster has appeared.”

That staff was terrifying, but it was definitely the baby who was truly dangerous. Instead of being taken behind, he tightly attached to my neck. If he had wanted to, I would have been killed.

 I’m a former A-rank adventure but I’m almost killed by a two-month-old baby!

 It is so ridiculous.

“And if my hunch is right.…. He is not serious yet…”

　⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

“Are you done?”

“Ah-, Fana-oneechan. Yes, it looks like I will be able to take the exam safely.”

When I returned to the reception desk with Ilia holding me in her arms, Fana was still there. Maybe she felt anxious and waited for me.

“I see. Good luck.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“When is the exam?”

“The day after tomorrow.”

“What are you going to do until then?”

“Hmm, maybe camp in the wild? I don’t have any money you see.”

Naturally, since I have been living in the forest, I am currently penniless. I couldn’t afford to stay at an inn.

“W-Wait! That’s no good right? If you camp in the wild, with your appearance like that, you’ll look like a completely abandoned baby!”

Ilia, who had been listening to our conversation, exclaimed outrageously. But, in the first place, it’s true that I have been abandoned though.

Then, Fana said,

“In that case, would you like to stay in my room?”

-Dorje’s POV-

My name is Dorje. I am the guild leader of the Adventurer’s Guild here in Volante City.

“Oh-Ouch. U-uuh, just what the hell is this…?”

I groaned involuntarily to myself. This is because I, who is a former A-rank adventurer and has been through a fair amount of trouble during my active career, can’t stop the shaking of my whole body and this started a while ago.

This feeling once took over when the party I am with challenged the Great Mountain Range in the demon territory. It felt exactly like that time when I passed near the nest of an ancient dragon that made the area its territory. The fear of that time comes back to me and sweat gushes out of my whole body.

But the problem is, I am now inside the city. It was impossible for an ancient dragon to appear in such a place.

“Then, what is this tremor about…?”

Step. Step. Step. Step

My teeth chattered as I heard someone’s footsteps getting closer. It seems that it is approaching this room. And for some reason, as if in proportion to that sound, the trembling of my body increases more and more. Eventually, the footsteps stopped in front of my room. I’m profusely sweating now.

Knock. Knock.

“Hiii!”

“Excuse me, Guild Leader.”

 After knocking, the door opened and a familiar face walked in.

“Eh? I-Ilia…?”

“Guild Leader? What happened to you? You are sweating a lot you know. But, well…”

It was Ilia, the receptionist who worked at our guild. She has a good reputation among adventurers and other staff members. She is an excellent receptionist.

 ……It can’t be her.

There are probably other reasons for my fear. In that case, it should be the suckling child she is carrying……

No, it can’t be. I don’t think it’s him either.

“Uhm, it’s about this baby…. Actually, he wants to be an adventurer so he would like to take the exam. According to the rules, there should be no age limit for the exam, but I came here to confirm if that’s alright just in case.”

I felt like she was saying something I couldn’t understand, but that wasn’t the problem I need to check right now.

I concentrated all my attention to find out the reason for this fear. Then, in the space just behind her, I sensed something strange. It seems that it erased its presence, but I can tell. There is a tremendous monster right there that rivals an ancient dragon….

Gulp!

“Guild Leader, are you listening?”

“Ah-, perhaps, have you noticed my staff? Guild Leader-ojichan is quite sharp huh. I was hiding it for the time being you see.”

“Staff…?”

The next moment, a beautiful staff of white and silver color appeared soundlessly from the void. It floats in the air as it is.

It’s true that when I’m in front of this powerful weapon, it feel like I am facing a terrifying monster. However, this was the first time I had encountered such a formidable weapon that is comparable to that of an ancient dragon.

“Eh? What is this beautiful staff…? And it’s floating…”

“It’s mine, oneechan.”

“It’s your staff…?”

 I never thought that this staff would be the property of such a baby…………

Huh?

That’s when I finally realized it.

The one talking normally to me from a while ago… is this baby?

“Haaaa? W-Wait a minute!? What’s with this baby!?”

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Held by Ilia, the receptionist, I came to the office of the Guild Leader of this Adventurer’s Guild. I could walk normally, but maybe she thought it was unbearable to let a baby walk by himself, so she picked me up.

 ……Mmm, this girl also has pretty good boobs.

『……Master. Isn’t that why you’re sticking to the form of a baby? 』

(Huh? What are you talking about?)

『……』

“Excuse me, Guild Leader.”

Ilia knocked and went inside. There, I saw a large bald man. He looked to be about sixty years old, but he had a well-trained body that you could see through his clothes. But for some reason, he was sweating like a waterfall and he is staring diagonally behind me with frightened eyes.

Even if Ilia calls out, he didn’t respond.

“Ah-, perhaps, have you noticed my staff?”

『Master, there is no doubt about it, I am sure that he is looking at me.』

“Guild Leader-ojichan is quite sharp huh. I was hiding it for the time being you see.”

Well, right now, I still don’t have enough magic so I can’t apply that much advanced concealment magic. Anyone with skill can see Lindwurm. Judging by his physique, he must be an adventurer who has risen to rank of a Guild Leader.

Also, his current senses are quite sharp…. He seems to have gained a certain amount of experience during his active career.
