"... Are you sure that's all right?

"It's okay. Because it's the usual..."

I don't think so... Kako's dried meat suddenly worried about whether it was falling as an expense for the party and whether she was getting paid well. If you look closely at her, she also looks pretty thin.

"... are you having dinner properly?

……

She slipped her gaze uncomfortably to my question without answering. Probably hasn't eaten much? I thought. When I approach her like that and grab her hand, all I have is bone and skin, right? I walk out with a little surprise in her hand, which I think is so thin.

"Huh?"

And she came after me without any particular resistance, I said. Is she really going to be okay? and with that in mind......

Then when I leave until I can't see them, I confront her. She turned to me properly, though she seemed confused. I look at her again but still lose weight overall. It also appears to be ruined by the overall neatness of the face but lean.

"Duh, what's wrong?

That's what they told me. Maybe I just looked at her seriously. I took out the dried meat with that in mind.

"You, don't do this. Eat this."

So I took out the same dried meat I was eating earlier and gave it to her.

"Huh?... okay?

And can I really have it? I advised him to eat quickly because he seemed to be asking how this one was doing like that.

"Eat it."

Saying so, the girl, when she received the dried meat as a snack, rattled her throat and then slowly ate it out. Then I was eating it at an early pace to see if the dried meat was tasty but the way it was eaten was beautiful. Well, maybe that's what I thought extra because I saw them eat like they were greedy earlier... And with that in mind, I also started eating dried meat on the verge of eating. Then I waited for her to finish eating.

When she finished eating, I put water in the glass and gave it to her.

"Oh, thank you"

When I said that and received it, I drank the water all at once, so I added another glass of water to it. Then, for some reason, he looked at me with surprise. I didn't know what I was surprised by, but when I said I could drink it, I was drinking water with pleasure.

Then the girl turned to me and thanked me when she finished drinking the water.

"Thanks for all the food and stuff. I'm Yua. Can I ask your name?

and came to me asking my name as I asked how I was doing.

"I'm Lena."

"Lena, can I call you Lena proper?

"Nothing, I hope."

"Really? Then you can call me Youre, okay?

"Okay, Youre"

"Yeah!"

Yua nodded with great pleasure when I called her by her name.

"... Youre, I want to ask you something, okay?

"Fine?

Yes, when I asked Yua, she replied feeling somewhat in a good mood. It felt like I said I'd given up on the feeling of sadness until earlier, but was there something good going on? and I asked what bothered me as I thought about it.

"Why are you partying with those kids?

When I heard that, Yua looked confused. Would it have tasted bad if I asked? And I thought about that a little bit, but she told me she was waiting for something to say because I was really curious to see what they did earlier.

"Uh... I originally lived in the same place as them"

"Huh!? Like that?

I was surprised by Yua's exact statement and Yua was laughing a little bitterly at my story.

"Well... we're orphans. That's why we're partying together."

"If that's not the reason, why don't you let me in another party?

I wouldn't want to party with those people if I were you. If we don't have a party to organize, I think we'll do what we can by ourselves.

"That's because I'm an orphan..."

Yur saw how I was and told me why I was tilting my neck because I didn't know how the orphan could be the reason.

"Well, it's hard to party with other people when you're an orphan. I can say no for a lot of reasons like it's dirty or something. If you put it in another party, you can't read, write, calculate it, so they often give you less rewards, so it's hard to get into another party."

Is there such a prejudice against orphans...... Still, how many people can read, write and calculate?

"Are there few people who can't read, write or calculate?

"? I don't think so... Most adventurers look at the request and choose, but I don't think they can say they can do anything else even if they can read it. But do you feel like the higher the rank of the adventurer, the more people can do it?

I mean, aren't there too many people who can read, write, and calculate everything? Then can Yua read, write, and calculate?
