Old man, come on! It's too late for them to make a request for reinstatement to the habit of ba

After I left my parents' shop, a mild shock came behind me as we walked side by side.

Looking back, it looks like the boy who came running hit me in the back.

I had impressive white short hair and skin burned in wheat with sunburn, and clothes that were falling apart and worn out due to landslides.

"Oops, Uncle, I'm sorry."

"Whoa. Be careful."

The boy tried to run away when he said so.

"See you later!!

At the next moment, Lion, who should have been beside me, was moving in front of the boy at some point, taking the boy's arm and twisting it up and restraining him.

The boy was twisted in the arm and dropped the sachet he had in his hand in pain onto the ground.

"Ah, that bag is mine..."

"Mr. Label, this kid just paid for my wallet. What are we gonna do with this kid? Stick it out to the gendarmerie?

"Sorry. Sorry!! Because I won't do it again. Please, forgive me."

I carry my money in small bags.

I thought that the amount in one sachet was small, so there was less damage if it was taken, and not enough to stick it out to the gendarmerie.

So as far as I'm concerned, you can forgive me if you swear you won't sleaze again from now on.

"Truth is, only the gendarmerie doesn't taste good. Then you can hit me until you feel better."

The boy seems quite afraid of being stuck out by the gendarmerie.

Is there any reason why you shouldn't be sentenced to hard labour if you're about to attempt a pickpocket?

I'm curious. I'll ask the boy a question.

"Why don't you want the gendarmerie to stick you out?

"Tell me, will you forgive me?

"Right. For whatever reason, just talk about it."

"I'll talk to you right, so don't ever stick it out. Actually, I live in an orphanage..."

The boy looked like he slept for the orphanage.

He wanted to do something about it when he heard officials lamenting that subsidies from the state alone wouldn't make the kids eat a glass of dinner.

He wanted me to forgive him because if the gendarmerie stuck him out, he might even lose subsidies for the orphanage.

I stared into the boy's eyes.

It didn't look like a boy was lying to me.

I've spent decades with adventurers of great habit.

If I hadn't spotted their lies, I wouldn't have been able to continue my profession until today of being a porter who deposits his life with adventurers.

"Okay. If that's the reason, I'll just miss you this time, but don't ever commit a crime again, okay?

"But there's no learning, no money, there's no way for orphans like us to make money..."

The boy was squealing so in a voice full of despair.

"Mr. Label. I was able to capture this child because I could see it with the power of my skills. If I didn't have the skills, I wouldn't have noticed. It moves very fast. I think this kid has talent..."

Looks like Lion wants to help the boy, too.

Suddenly, I told the boy I had the talent to be an adventurer.

I was thinking the same thing.

There is a strong will in this boy's eyes, and such a human being grows greatly.

That was a guess from my experience of seeing so many adventurers.

And I get to one answer, if adventurers all over the city are my enemies, I hope to raise those who are not adventurers to be adventurers!!

"What's your name?

"Mine, huh? Dan..."

"Do you say Dan? Dan, listen, you really want to make money, don't you?

"Of course it is"

"Even if that's a dangerous thing, can we not escape?

"What are you gonna let me do?

"If you're serious, aren't you willing to be an adventurer?

"You said I'd be an adventurer!?

"Oh yeah. You can make money on your own if you become an adventurer. That way I can send you to the orphanage that raised you."

Dan was only thinking a little, but he immediately stared at me and nodded.

"If it's okay with me. If I can be an adventurer... I'll be an adventurer"

"Okay, well said. Don't worry, I won't tell you to suddenly fight demons or anything unscrupulous. If Dan is serious about becoming an adventurer, I'll raise him. You ready to follow me?

"Your uncle was an adventurer."

"No, I'm not an adventurer yet. I'm a porter for adventurers. But I got you, Lyon is a one-man adventurer who attacked a C-level dungeon."

Dan said he was going to be an adventurer. I was surprised to learn that the old man wasn't actually even an adventurer.

I was ashamed to say it myself.

"If I can be an adventurer like this, I'll be an adventurer. Make me an adventurer!!!

Dan screams out loud.

Soon Lyon had untied Dan.

"Oh, I got it. Let's get you trained to be an adventurer. You can never be an adventurer."

"Okay."

That's what I say. Take Dan and Lyon out of town.

I asked about Dan on the way.

Dan is an abandoned son, he is fourteen years old, and lion is sixteen, so he is two years younger.

He's about the same height as Lion, which is older in appearance? I can't tell the difference.

We go through the city and reach the vast meadows.

There were several fences surrounding the large grounds around here, and dozens of cattle were eating pasture inside the fence.

I found a man watching a cow and spoke up.

"Mr. Galiver. Long time no see. How have you been?

"Oh, isn't that a label? Long time no see. I hear rumors about Cain. Are you okay?"

"Cain's probably okay, too, because the Squad is leading the search party to salvation."

"Ha, I agree with you. No matter how old you are and how old you left active duty, there's no way that Cain would fall behind just a human opponent. Plus, if the squad is on its way, don't worry. So what brings you here today?

"I came here today to ask for a favor from Mr. Galiver. I want you to train this boy so he can fight in the dungeon."

"You train the boy beside you? How long do I have to tell you, by the way?

"Right...... at least tell me how much you can dive into the dungeon"

"Hmm... I owe you one. If it's such a wash, I can help you."

"Thank you, Mr. Galiver"

"Kid, I'm not gonna let my archery sound a little tight."

"I'm going to be an adventurer. I'll put up with any training!!

"Dan, listen carefully. This man was a famous adventurer when he said Mr. Galiver. Dan gets Mr. Galiver trained today. Faithful adherence to this man's teachings will make him a great adventurer. If Mr. Galiver admits it, he'll be diving into the dungeon with me and Lion at the end of his training. Is that all right?

"Okay. Thanks uncle."

"Never mind. If training is hard or you don't want to be an adventurer, you should run. I don't force myself either. But if you really want to be an adventurer, you have to learn a lot from Mr. Galiver."

"Yeah. Okay. I will never run away. You didn't say your uncle's name."

"I'm a label. And she's Lion. From today on, we're buddies, thank you!

"Thank you."

Dan, nice to meet you.

I give you my hand and Dan shakes it back.

Lion put his own hand on top of our handshake.

"I have a suggestion for both of you, I'm going to go to Alliance headquarters and make a new Alliance. If you're not a member of the Alliance, you can't go in there. Some admin dungeons. Is that all right?

"Our guild..."

"I kind of got to the tongue clap and I can't keep up with it. It doesn't mean I can be an adventurer."

Dan seemed anxious.

"What, under Mr. Galiver's guidance, as long as Dan doesn't escape, he'll be absolutely fine"

"Don't make fun of me. Running away or something!!

"I'll be waiting for you in my new guild."

Me and Lyon are leaving Dan for the Guild Hall.

Along the way, Lion talked to me.

"I know it's okay because Mr. Label says, how awesome is that Mr. Galiver?

"Right... that guy's one of those monsters I know"

"I'm afraid of what Mr. Label calls the level of the monster."

"It's okay, because the roots are gentle people. Dan won't die either."

With that said, I remembered an old party member.

After that, when we arrive at Alliance headquarters, we'll know Hans' dungeon attack failed there.
