Alfine's point of view


　With a sense of urgency, I walked through the open door of the Adventurer's Guild.


　The adventurer's guild in the southern frontier city of Yuguhanotes in the Kingdom of Hartford: ....... So this is the place where Fynn's last footprints and insignia were discarded.

　I hope there's still a Fynn in here ......, but there's no way it's that convenient.


　When I entered the adventurer's guild, I immediately turned my attention to the waiting room full of adventurers having a light meal.


　Even though it's a frontier, there are still a lot of adventurers in the morning ....... Ah!　That dark hair ...... and the physique ...... looks like him!


　My heart began to beat rapidly and prematurely when I saw the back of a young-looking adventurer with dark hair, a rarity in this country, at the back of the waiting room.


'Fi--'

Yes, Dame. Al, I told you not to make a fuss because you were new to the Adventurer's Guild.


　I was about to call his name, but Meira's hand was blocking my mouth.

　As it was, she whispered in my ear.


I'm sure that if you call his name here, Gilead's pursuers may be there. I'm sure you've escaped from King's Landing and this is the only place you can go.　


　Speaking of which, on the way to this Ygghanotes, a knight in the Kingsguard was hanging out with some adventurers.

　I forgot to disguise myself for that.


'Sorry, I forgot. But can I just go check his face for a moment?

"Just for a glimpse. If it's Mr. Fynn, don't be so quick to talk to him.


　I nodded silently and took a seat with her, where I could see the face of the dark-haired young adventurer.

　Then I glanced at his face.


　Whew, that wasn't even close!　I'm sure he's at least changed his hair, but he's a strong face that doesn't look like the kindness of the Fynn we're used to seeing: .......


'Well?　Do we look alike?


　I shook my head at Meira's question.

　The pounding in my chest that had been soaring had died down and I was feeling dizzy thanks to the release of tension.


　I didn't expect to find the wrong person ...... so easily, but maybe he's not in the city anymore .......

　I can't even call him by his name ...... and with my appearance, even if Fynn were here, he wouldn't be able to recognize me .......


　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has been disappointed by the fact that you've been disappointed.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.


Well, finding what you are looking for is not so easy. The search and the investigation of archaeological sites are the same thing, so leave it to your sister. First of all, you need to gather information. Anyway, we're going to be staying here in the Yuguhanotes for a while, and it wouldn't hurt for Al to register as an adventurer. Surprisingly, the receptionist will be light-hearted when you get to know her.

Oh, you ...... no, I'm signing up?　No, that's not a good idea: ......


　I am a fledgling adventurer ...... who has achieved success in defeating monsters in King's Landing, rising to the platinum level, hunting demon dragons and becoming a sword saint.


　For a moment, the unpleasant memory of the time when I first became an adventurer, when I couldn't afford to stay at the inn in King's Landing with the little money I had earned, and I spent the night in the lodge with Feen and his wife, flashed through my mind.


　I mean, no, no. No, no, no.

　I'm the one that Feen was trying to teach me, that I should have discarded my arrogance along with my name.


　I'm going to register as Al, the new fledgling adventurer, which means I'm going to throw away my noble status, my swordsmanship title, my name, and all my achievements and start from scratch.

　When I see him again, I'll be able to honestly say sorry.


　I noticed Meira looking at me with glittering eyes.


'Haaaaah, Al-chan, you're so cute. Shuki-ii.''

"'Sister Meira,' you need to pull yourself together in public.


　As I changed my appearance and became a boy, Al, I remembered that I was Meira's half-brother, and I nailed her with a disturbing look.


'Huh?　Well, then, if it wasn't in public--


　The hand that was stroking my head moved with lightning-fast speed, and before I knew it, Meira had grabbed my hand firmly.


''It's not!''


　With the hand of the one that remained free, he lightly struck the sword on Meira's forehead as she came closer to his face.


''Ah!　Because Al told me to pull myself together in public.

I'm sorry, I didn't say enough. I'm sorry I didn't speak up for you. Maela.

'Err, Al's Kechee. Oh, my too-beautiful brother doesn't understand how this brother-loving sister feels ....... Now, so I have zero motivation for my sister today.


　Plopping down on the table with her hand on her forehead, Meira slumped down in a huff.

　It would be a bit troubling if she bent the navel here, so I decided to offer her the maximum reward I could pay for having nothing.


Meira sister, you'll need to change your mood. Oh yeah, after I finish my adventurer registration, come have dinner with me here.


　Meira's head snaps up at my suggestion.


　The response is yah!　I thought they were just sulking.


Will Al be arming me?

What?

I want you to ern.

　The expression on Meira's face that said, 'I won't fix your mood if you don't arn't give me an arn' was evident.


　You are a spoiled child who wants something you like!

　It's not just a matter of time before you're able to get your hands on a new one.

　It's really a good idea to have a good time with Meira and realize how badly you've behaved towards her.

　I must grow up to be a more mature person.


　I swallowed what I wanted to say and replied to Mayra's selfish suggestion with a gulp.


'I respectfully accept sister Mayra's offer.


　That word brings a smile to Meira's face.


I'm going to say it. It's the privilege of being a sister.


　There's a lot to say, but I've been exposed to her personality on the journey to this point, so strangely, I didn't get the urge to bite my nails that happens when I'm stressed.


'Huh, I can't even compare to sister Mayra: ......'

Well, I need you to get your arsing in early, so go register as an adventurer.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, I'm off.


　I let out a sigh again as Meira smiled and waved at me, and I decided to head to the adventurer registration window.
