Volume 10 Chapter 266

Haruto’s Proposal

I’ve been in this world for ten years now.
This year, I turned fifteen.
As a member of the human race in this world, I’ve reached adulthood.
In October of this year, after Luna, the youngest in the Elnor family, celebrated her birthday, the party ended the next day.
I gathered my family together and made a proposal.
「Let’s register at the Adventurers Guild!」
「Adventurers? Master, do you really want to become an adventurer?」
「Yeah!」
It’s been my dream since I was reincarnated into this world.
To register as an adventurer and raise my guild rank.
It seems like so much fun.
Even back in my original world, I loved collecting game trophies. Seeing my titles and ranks slowly increase was always exciting.
There might be a chance of getting teased by senior adventurers, but honestly, that’s part of the fun too.
I want to surprise adventurers who try to make fun of me by showing a bit of my strength and making them think, 『H-how is this guy so strong!?』.
And I want the beautiful receptionist to be amazed when I show her the monsters I’ve hunted and say something like, 『T-that’s!? That’s a C-rank monster!!』.
Ah, my fantasies are running wild.
My goal is to become an S-rank adventurer!
Ever since I saw Tina’s guild card, I’ve wanted that. The one with black card and gold letters containing information written on it looked really cool.
It seems like only a limited number of people can become S-rank adventurers, like those who have reached their third class. I’m only level 1, but……
But for now, if I accumulate enough achievements, I should be able to become an S-rank adventurer!
「Haruto…… Even if you don’t work as an adventurer, you won’t have money problems, right?」
Ryuushin said something tasteless.
He just doesn’t get it.
「It’s not about money, Ryuushin」
I feel bad for the real adventurers who are desperately defeating monsters to make a living, but I certainly don’t have money problems.
Right now, along with the fourteen members of the Elnor family and Shiro, Luke, Riel, Ryuushin, and Hinata, a total of eighteen people and one beast are living in my mansion.
Tina covers all the living expenses, but even though we live extravagantly, it doesn’t seem like her savings are decreasing.
Rather, they’re constantly increasing.
So, I’m not becoming an adventurer for money.
「Being an adventurer…… it’s about having dreams」
「Dreams?」
Yeah, even Luke doesn’t understand.
Oh well.
「For example, traveling to undiscovered lands—」
「In the past few years, Haruto-san has already set up teleportation magic circles all over the world, right?」
「As Rifa says」
「Undiscovered lands…… don’t really exist anymore, do they?」
……
「For example, searching for hidden treasures deep in dungeons—」
「Haruto cleared the most difficult dungeon that even past heroes couldn’t clear last year!」
「He even got a sword blessed by the Creator God as a reward」
「Besides the dungeon where I’m the boss, everything’s been cleared, right?」
「That’s right. The dungeons here have been cleared by Haruto and Tina, but—」
「Citri, I want the difficulty lowered a bit more」
「It’s impossible as it is now」
「Hehehe. Please consult with Master about that」
……
「A-and what about creating the ultimate equipment by collecting super rare items—」
「We have a world tree growing in our backyard. Isn’t that branch an incredibly rare item?」
「As Luna says. With that branch, you can create the ‘Staff of the World Tree,’ the highest-ranked weapon. The world tree here seems to like Luna, so I think it won’t get mad if Luna prunes it」
「Sylph, are you sure about this?」
「Of course. I’m sure it would be very happy if you pruned it」
「And there’s a vein of mithril underground here, and you used it to make armor for Elmia, right?」
「Oh, that. It has incredible performance. Not only is the armor protected by something invisible, but it also doesn’t get damaged by any weapons or magic. Haruto, thank you so much」
「As far as I know, there’s no ultimate equipment better than mithril armor……」
……
「And defeating monsters to get their materials—」
「The most valuable monster is…… right in front of you, isn’t it?」
「Huh, me!?」
「As Shiro says」
「The scales and fangs of the black dragon Ryuushin are worth more than mine or Luca’s」
「That’s right…… Ryuushin, Haruto-san wants your materials, right?」
「Ryuushin-san. I won’t hurt you」
「Seira-san? Is that a holy element spell!?」
「Ryuushin-sama……」
「H-Hinata, help—」
「I’m sorry. It’s just for the rent I’m paying for living here」
「Huh, wai—aaaahhhhhh!?」
Hmm…… Sorry, Ryuushin.
Hinata seems to have gotten used to living in the Elnor household.
Hmm, what should I do……?
Ah!
「Guild cards!」
「Eh?」
「Tina, show everyone your guild card」
「Understood」
Tina shows her guild card to everyone.
「Oh! So this is the guild card of an S-rank adventurer!」
「I-It’s amazing……」
Luke and a tearful Ryuushin, whose scale was peeled off, were sparkling as they looked at Tina’s guild card.
Alright, good!
「I want this」
「If you want it, I’ll give it to you. Here」
「Eh?」
「I’m just kidding」
Tina’s smile as she chuckled was adorable.
……Well, that’s fine.
「Anyway, I want to become an adventurer!」
I’ve decided to push forward with this.
It would be nice if a few people agreed, but—
「I understand now」
「If Haruto becomes an adventurer, I’ll become one too!」
「I’ll go register together as well」
「「Us too」」
「I’ll become one too!」
「I’ll take care of healing」
「I’ll assist everyone to the fullest!」
「It sounds interesting. I’ll register too」
「Will I be able to go as…… Haruto’s familiar?」
「Shiro-sama, it’ll be fine」
「Elmia, we’ll register too!」
「Y-Yeah. Understood」
「Me too!」
「Of course, me too」
「Us too」
「We’ll become adventurers too!」
In the end, everyone agreed.
I can’t help but think that trying to come up with various reasons was pointless.
「Haruto-sama’s will is the consensus of the Elnor family. You should do what you want, Haruto-sama」
「That’s right」
Hmm, maybe this was the right way from the beginning.
「Alright, then let’s go register at the adventurer’s guild now!」
「「「「Yeah!」」」」
