Dwarf_Cat-Eared_Elf
"So you're the Adventurers' Party... Huh?... Dwarf_Cat-Eared_Elf?... What kind of weird creature is that?!"
The female receptionist sitting behind the counter of the Adventurers' Guild stared at our group with a puzzled look as she said those remarks.
"It's a creature of legends! A being who holds a great power of the three Demi-Human Bloodlines!"
Felin, the youngest member of our group, proudly and cheerfully said those explanations to answer the receptionist's question.
"So it's a mixture of three Demi-Human bloodlines? A third of both Dwarf, Beast Kin and Elf?... Is that even possible to exist?"
"Of course not. There is no way a creature like that could exist. The name, Dwarf_Cat-Eared_Elf, just describes the members of our group. It doesn't really mean anything."
Mifumi-sama, the oldest member of our group and our leader, clarified the meaning of the name, Dwarf_Cat-Eared_Elf, which Felin and I put so much effort into coming up with.
Although, I wish she wouldn't say that it describes our group. After all, that reason is not entirely true.
"Ohh!... I got it..."
The female receptionist looks at us with a smile that says she has solved the great mystery that stands before her.
"It's because Ms. Mifumi is a Half-Elf and Ms. Felin is a cat-like Lightning_Beast kin. With the name, Dwarf_Cat-Eared_Elf, it means Ms. Vier is probably a Dwarf kin or a Half-Dwarf. Is that right?"
The female receptionist looks at me, waiting for the confirmation of her deduction. However, she is definitely wrong.
"I'm sorry Ms..."
"My name is Klea."
"I'm sorry, Ms. Klea. But your deduction is wrong. I'm not a Dwarf kin or a Half-Dwarf but a completely normal Human being."
"Ehh?!... Even though you're so small?"
"Don't involve my height in this conversation!"
I yelled at that while being a little bit annoyed.
Seriously... Don't accuse someone of being a Dwarf just because of their height. Besides, I'm only 14 years old. I'm gonna be taller once I become a full-grown adult.
"Even though your Adventurers' Party is named Dwarf_Cat-Eared_Elf?"
"Please give it a rest already, Ms. Klea."
"I'm sorry... I don't mean to offend your group, Ms. Vier. I'm just a bit curious about how your group came up with that name."
"We're not the ones who came up with that name."
"Ehh?... Then who?..."
"It's a long story of Lies, Deception, and even Betrayal. So please don't ask about it anymore."
"Now I'm even more interested."
"Please get over it."

***Going back a few hours before the current event.***
[A place full of dangerous and unknown Monsters.]
[An inhabitants made up of different Humans, Demi-Humans, and Magical creatures.]
[A life with endless possibilities and adventures.]
[A world different yet alike to the one I once knew.]
[A Re_World of Fantasy and Magic.]
That is how Onee-chan, the person who I sometimes see in my dreams, describes our world.
According to her, our world is not a different or what she calls 'Another World or Parallel World' but possibly, a Recreated World.
She made that assumption based on the fact that all the Relics that were discovered from the floating islands in our world resemble the objects that she once knew from her world.
She also believes that those floating islands that revolve around our world are parts of the continents of the world she once knew.
For me, that theory is kind of outrageous. Something like an... 'Out of this World' ...idea if I said so...
"Pfft... Hahaha..."
That is actually kind of funny considering all of these thoughts.
"Mifumi-sama. Vier is being weird again."
"Vier-chan. Don't start laughing all by yourself while staring into nothing like a cat."
However, I can't utterly disregard Onee-chan's theory. After all...
"Mifumi-sama. I can see the giant golem lady!"
"It's not a giant golem but the statue of Liber, Felin-chan."
Yep!... That giant statue of a lady who is holding a torch in her right hand and something like a book in her left hand is one big piece of evidence that Onee-chan's theory might be true.
That the Floating Island of Liber, where our group is heading, was once a part of the world that Onee-chan knew.
.
.
.
A few minutes after the statue of Liber came to our view, the Mana_Airship we are aboard eventually lands at the port of Liber.
""" We finally made it here!!!"""
..."""Ehh?!"""...
Our cheerful yelling startled the people around us. It probably made us looks like some kind of country bumpkin who arrive at the Royal Capital for the first time.
Even so, we don't really care. We're actually some kind of country bumpkin after all.
It took us two weeks to ride the Mana_Train from our town, Greendale, at the Smilodon Kingdom to the Port Town at the southernmost part of Albus Kingdom. We travel half of the continent, plus a few hours of riding the Mana_Airship just to get here.
I even throw up a little bit at the first hour of being in the Mana_Airship.
Therefore, our enthusiasm upon taking our first step into the Floating Island of Liber is reasonable.
"So where do you want to go first, Felin-chan, Vier-chan?"
"Let's find something to eat first, Mifumi-sama!"
"I think we should go to the Adventurers' Academy first and register for the Entrance Exam. Or we could try to find the place where we're staying... Ugh!..."
"Are okay, Vier-chan? Maybe you still need a bit of rest."
"I'm sorry, Mifumi-sama... I feel like I need to throw up again... Ugh!..."
"Wait, wait, wait... Use your bag, Vier-chan!"
"Don't do it on the street, Vier."
"Please don't say misleading things, Felin... Ugh!..."
Of course, I didn't lie about the fact that I only threw up a little bit at the first hour of being in the Mana_Airship. I indeed managed to endure not throwing up until the rest of the flight. However, all of that enduring backfired after I got out of the Mana_Airship.
Seriously... I can't believe that I will be afflicted by motion sickness not only from riding a carriage but also from riding the Mana_Train and Mana_Airship.
.
.
.
After resting for an hour, I was finally able to recover from my motion sickness. Then we decide to go first to the Adventurers' Academy and register for the Entrance Exam. From there, we can ask them for directions to the place we're supposed to stay, and along the way, we will find something to eat.
However, I don't think I have the appetite to eat after throwing up.

***Back on the current event at the Adventurers' Academy***
"So for the Adventurers Party, Dwarf_Cat-Eared_Elf, your members are...
...Ms. Vier, Age: 14 years old, Class: Hunter...
...Ms. Felin, Age: 13 years old, Class: Swordmaster...
...Ms. Mifumi Greendale, Age: 15, Class Sorceress...
...Wait, Greendale?"
Upon seeing Mifumi-sama's family name, Ms. Klea starts to ponder something. Then a few seconds later, her eyes open wide as it could as if she realizes something unbelievable.
"Ehh?... Greendale?... As in the Noble Baron House of Greendale?!... Ms. Mifumi, are you perhaps the granddaughter of the Half-Elf, Misaki Greendale?!!... The successor of the Black_Elf_Sorceress title?!!!"
..."Ehh?... Did she say Misaki Greendale?"...
..."The Black_Elf_Sorceress?"...
..."Greendale Town?"...
The crowd of people lining up at the other counters, probably Adventurers and others alike, started to look toward us.
Felin and I immediately jump to the top of the receptionist's counter to cover Ms. Klea's mouth and stop her from revealing Mifumi-sama's identity to everyone at the Guild.
"Wait, wait, wait... Please stop shouting, Ms. Klea."
"Shush... Don't shout, Miss."
"It's kinda embarrassing if you keep shouting my family's name, Ms. Klea."
The embarrassment is the least of our problems, Mifumi-sama. After all, different kinds of troublesome things might come to us if everyone learns that you're a Noble along with the fact that you're Misaki-sensei's granddaughter.
"I'm sorry... Please stop covering my mouth, Ms.Vier, Ms. Felin."
.
.
.
After Ms. Klea has calmed down, we ask her for the reason for her sudden outburst.
"Of course, I will be excited to meet the granddaughter of the Black_Elf_Sorceress."
"Is Misaki-sensei a famous person, Vier?"
"She might be, Felin. Probably."
Mifumi-sama's grandma, Misaki-Sensei, is a Half-Elf just like Mifumi-sama, and a Mithril_Rank Adventurer. The highest rank is given to an Adventurer. There is no way she won't be famous inside the Adventurers' Academy and Guild.
"Misaki-sensei?... Are the three of you perhaps her students?"
"That is right, Ms. Klea. After all, my grandma handles the Adventurers' School at the Greendale Town."
"I can't believe I'm meeting three of her students and her granddaughter. The Adventurers' Academy will be delighted to have the three of you us new students. Please do your best to pass the Entrance Exam, Adventurers' Party Dwarf_Cat-Eared_Elf."
"""Mhm!... We'll do our best!"""
That is our plan from the start after all. Besides, if we failed the Entrance Exam and went back home, Misaki-sensei would surely be mad at us.
We will definitely be hanging on our feet for an entire week as punishment.
