A Reason to Become an Adventurer

[Meanwhile, Ceobe POV]

After Eris and I left the inn, we both stroll around the street of Millishon while heading towards the adventure guild.

While strolling the streets, I observed a lot of prestigious stores that sells high-quality clothing, armors and weapons.

There's also a bakery that sells plenty delicious pastries that makes my mouth drool. I even unconsciously walk towards the store's entrance due to the savory smell that is luring me in.

Unfortunately, Eris grabs my shoulder and gives me the look of disappointment. I instinctively lower my ears and hide my tail in between my legs because of the fear I am feeling.

"Ceobe, don't wonder off without me knowing, understood?" Eris strictly said, which I nodded frantically.

"Y-yes, I understand"

"Do you want to buy something there?"

Once I heard Eris's question, I immediately nodded my head. She ponders for a while before giving me a thumbs up, permitting me to enter the bakery.

I smile cheerfully after she gave me the permission and went inside to look at the pastries. Then a set my eyes on one pastry in particular. A food that I am familiar of and this character's favorite food.

"Eris, I want this one~" I cheerfully said as I point at the certain pastry. Eris looks at what I am pointing at and asked.

"Honey Biscuits?"

"Yeah, I always wanted to try these" I enthusiastically said, which confuses Eris.

"I hate to break it to you, Ceobe, but those were expensive"

"What?"

I was taken aback by what Eris said and look at the price of the Honey Biscuits.

[Honey Biscuits = 1 Milis silver coin]

When I saw the price of the pastry, I was disheartened. However, this gave me the motivation I need to help Eris in her Goblin hunting quest.

"Eris, how much money do we get when we finish your quest?" I asked, wanting to be sure if we have enough to buy the honey biscuit.

"I'm not sure, but I guess we will get plenty if it is successful" says Eris while shrugging her shoulder.

"Well then, let's do this, Eris. Let's finish that quest. For the Honey Biscuits!" I shouted while raising my fist.

"Heh, for the Honey Biscuits!" Eris also shouted and raised her fist in response.

After that conversation, we both exit the bakery and head towards the adventure guild with a goal in mind.

--------------------------------------

Once we arrived at the adventure guild, I was amazed by the size of the building. It is two-stories larger than the surrounding buildings and it has a glowing sliver color.

After admiring the exterior of the guild, Eris and I entered the building and I was more astonished of the interior because of how spacious it is in the inside.

I also observed a lot of people from different races were wondering in the adventure guild. Aside from the humans, there were a lot of elves, dwarves, hobbits and beast race in the building.

"Come on, Ceobe. Let's register you as an adventurer" Eris said, prompting me to follow her.

I complied to her words and accompany her to the main lobby counter where I was greeted by a female receptionist.

"Hello, welcome to the adventure guild. How can I help you two?"

"I need you to register my friend here as an adventurer" Eris commanded the receptionist while pointing at me. The receptionist looks at me and I wave my hand at her.

"I understand. Please one moment please" says the receptionist as she turns around and walks towards the shelves. After a while, the receptionist came back with a piece of paper and a pen. Then she gave it to me and said: "Kindly fill out this form, please"

I complied to the receptionist and wrote my information on the form. Thanks to the lesson that Rudeus gave me, I am capable of writing on my own.

Once I'm finished filling up the form, I kindly return it to the receptionist and she brought out a transparent slab with a metal card underneath it.

"Please place your hand over here" says the receptionist.

Following her instruction, I place my hand on the middle of slab while they press their fingers on the edge.

"Name: Ceobe Adoldia

Job: Magical Warrior

Rank: F"

The receptionist read the information on my form and she presses down the slab like a stamp. Then the slab begins to glow and small writings appear on the metal card.

"Kindly please take this card, it's your adventurer card" the receptionist said as she handed me the metal card.

I look at my card and I can see my information printed on the surface. I turn around and look at Eris.

"I'm an adventurer~" I cheerfully said while showing her my card. She then gave me a thumbs up in response.

"Alright, let's go to the job board and find the goblin quest" Eris said, prompting me to follow her.

--------------------------------------------

Once we arrived in front of the job board, we scan the whole board for the goblin quest. I observed a lot of job papers for different rank adventurers, as well as notes and news posted here.

However, there is one notice that caught my attention and it looks worn out, meaning it is posted here for a long time. I take a closer look at it and read it.

[Dear Rudeus,

Zenith, Lilia, and Aisha are missing. Norn is under my protection.

I don't know where you are now, but I believe you can arrive on your own.

That's why I will postpone my search for you.

I'm going to the Milis continent because that's where your mother was born.

I'll leave a message to Lillia's hometown and her parents too.

You search the north of the Central Continent. If you find them, contact me at the following address. Zenith or Lilia, if you're reading. contact me too.

Also, to anyone who knows me or my family, or if you're member of the [Fang of the Black Wolf] party: I'd like you to help with the search.

Some of you might don't like me. I won't ask you to forget the past. You can scold me if you want. If you ask me to lick your boots, I'll do it.

I lost all of my property, so I can't give you any reward, but I'm depending on you.

Please search for my family.

Address: Adventure Guild of Capital Millishion, Holy Kingdom of Milis, Milis Continent.

Party name: Buena Village Search Team

Clan name: Fittoa Region Search Group

Best wishes, Paul Greyrat]

After reading the notice, I was utterly shocked because someone from Rudeus's family is searching for him and his other family member.

Judging from the message, I guess that the sender is quite desperate in finding his family and he lost a lot of their possessions. How pitiful.

"Hey Eris, come take a look of-"

"I found it! Come on, Ceobe!"

Before I could finish my sentence, Eris excitedly pulled my arm and rush me towards the receptionist counter.

"Hold on, Eris"

"No time talking. Let's go already"

Oh well, I guess I will tell her about this news after finishing the quest.
