Watashi No Hanayome's

Daytime, hour - - -- -

Garden and I were on our way to the gear figures to buy me a gun.

A few minutes walking we finally arrived at a place that sold equipment for an adventurer. And Garden started opening the door to the shop.

Ting. The bell behind the door rang because Garden opened the door.

"Welcome to my shop. Can I help you?" a man in his 30s greeted us.

Inside the store it looks like the store in general nothing special.

"Yo Felix." (Garden)

I saw Garden greeting that person and it seemed like he was familiar with that person.

"Oh, it turns out you're Garden. What about your mission this time?" (Felix)

"Good enough, I've accomplished all of his missions." (Garden)

"As I expected from a high-level adventurer." (Felix)

I didn't understand what they were talking about so I just kept quiet.

"Haha ... As usual, your praise is too much." (Garden)

"Haha. So what is it that you came here for? And who's that kid you're with?" (Felix)

And once again I was called a boy, I was tired of thinking about it, again.

"He's Hiroaki, the boy I met yesterday in the meadow area. I brought her here, and she said she wanted to be an adventurer so I just brought her here." (Garden)

"Oh, so. Hey your name is Hiroaki, right." (Felix)

"Yes." Yeah." I was quite happy that he called my name and was probably the first person to call my name when I was in this world.

(Rin not included.)

"Do you need a gun?" (Felix)

"Yes." Yeah." (Hikari)

"Then, come with me." Felix walked into a room in his shop.

"Good." I also came in. And when I got inside, I was so amazed because in the room there was a large enough place and there were many types of weapons such as swords, spears, shields and others.

"Please choose whichever you want." (Felix)

"Good." I smiled a little because this is the first time I will have a real weapon.

I searched for quite a while and I found something that really caught my attention.

"Of." I called him om because he looked older than me.

"Call Felix. Did you find him?" (Felix)

"Yes. Can you get that." I pointed at a thin sword with a blade so sharp and almost a meter long (katana) in the corner of the room.

"Well, you just wait outside, I'll be right there with this sword." (Felix)

"Good." I don't know why Felix told me to come out, but that's okay because I'm gonna get a real sword. And that doesn't bother me at all. I followed his words and walked out of the room.

When I came out of the room I saw the Garden sitting quietly in a chair inside the store.

"Yo boy, did you finish picking your weapon?" (Garden)

"Yes, I've."

"Alright then. Now we just have to wait." (Garden)

"waiting? Whatchu mean?" (Hikari)

Kreeek. The door sounds open.

Suddenly I saw Felix coming out of the room with the sword I had shown.

"Hey Felix, why is it so fast? Usually it takes a long time to make a sword that has the ability." (Garden)

"I don't know either. But apparently, this sword is one of my grandfather's first swords, and I don't know why it's this fast." (Felix)

As usual, I didn't understand the conversation between the two of them and I just kept quiet.

"Well then, how much does it cost?" Garden asked about the cost of the sword, and intended to pay me.

"It looks pretty cheap. 15 copper coins only." (Felix)

"Hey Felix, those 15 copper coins are good, come on down, my coins are not enough to register this boy and his partner later to be an adventurer." (Garden)

"Huh?! He already has a partner?!" I saw Felix was shocked and also confused after hearing Garden's words.

"Yes, her partner was already waiting for her in the Guild along with Leona." (Garden)

"I can't believe a kid as young as he already has a partner." (Felix)

"Come on Felix, don't you see that mark on his right cheek." (Garden)

"Huh?" (Felix)

Suddenly Felix came closer to me, I was a little scared, because not only was a girl even an om who brought his face closer to me.

"Hows it? Have you seen it?" (Garden) Talk to Felix.

"Hmmm... Wait a minute, wait, wait, there's a star, yeah. Hmmmmm alright, then you can grab this weapon for free." (Felix)

"Ehhhh?! Seriously you're Felix? Not your income from this, if it's free to do with your efforts?" (Garden) Surprised.

"Take it easy, Garden, because it's free doesn't mean that my business will go bankrupt, I want to help him." (Felix)

"helpful? Why why?" (Garden)

"Forget it, it's a company secret." (Felix)

"All right then." (Garden)

"Hey Hiroaki, this is your sword." Felix gave me the sword I had chosen.

"Thank you." When I was about to take it, Felix held it.

"Wait a minute, you have to name your weapon first, and then you can pick it up." (Felix)

"Ehh? Should anyway?"

"Yes." Yeah." (Felix)

"Of course, boy, do you think that this gun I have has no name. My sword's name is Saki." Garden told me.

"Cononce if the sword has a name, the soul of the knight will be born on it. Therefore you must name it" (Felix)

"So, you have to, yes. Hmmmmm, what's a good name?"

"Think well boy, make a good name." (Garden)

"Shirame, how about Shirame?" I said to both of them

"Hmmmmm. It seems possible too. Alright, now your sword's name is Shirame." (Felix)

Then Felix put my sword on his desk. "Please take this, I have some business to do." then Felix goes into the room, again.

I took it too. But, unexpectedly, it turns out that the weight of my weapon is not what it looks like. "Why is this so heavy?" I was confused by the weight of my sword which was about 10kg even though the size and shape of my sword was very slim.

The garden approached me and took my sword. He easily raised my sword with one hand.

"This? This you say heavy? I think it's the lightest sword I've ever held, lo." (Garden)

I was shocked, that heavy sword he said the lightest. "Eventually? What swords have you ever held?"

"Nothing, it's just Saki I use a lot." (Garden)

I began to wonder, if this thin and flimsy sword is already heavy, what about the great sword that the Garden always carries on its back? It may be heavier than my sword, or it may be heavier.

"Hey, take the boy." The garden gave my sword directly to my hand.

"Ehhhh. Waiting dul-"

Gubbrak. I'm fallin.

Because I was not used to lifting such a heavy weight, so I could not bear it and fell directly overwritten by my own sword.

Garden laughs.

"Woy a-what's funny, please-quickly help me."

"Of course, I won't help you. Lifting a sword alone cannot. How about you fight later." (Garden)

"Alright then, I won't ask for your help for now, let me try myself." I answered him with confidence.

This sword is quite heavy, so I have to use both of my hands to lift it. And not long after, I managed to lift it even with considerable effort.

I stood up and held my sword with both hands.

"A pretty good old man. Now let's go to the Guild, they'll be waiting for us." (Garden)

"Good." Garden and I walked out of Felix's shop to the Guild that was some distance away in the city.

On the way to the Guild.

I saw people looking at me, and I felt uncomfortable about it.

"Hey Garden, why are they looking at me? Is there something strange about me?" I asked the Garden.

"You still don't realize boy?" (Garden)

"What do you mean?"

"They see you because you carry your sword like that. Definitely attracting attention." (Garden)

I carried 'Shirame' using both hands because it was too heavy for me to carry with one hand. "What happened to the way I carried it? Is something wrong?"

"Usually, an adventurer carries their sword in two ways, either putting it on his back like me or holding it in one hand. And they saw you because you carried your sword like that." (Garden)

I defended myself. "How else, it's heavy. Besides, I can't carry it on my back let alone carry it with one hand and anyway, I'm not an adventurer yet."

The garden breathed. "Ha~ is up to you."

After a few minutes of walking, we finally reached the Guild, and I saw Rin and Leona sitting on one of the seats outside the Guild.

"Leona, did you get paid for our mission this time?" (Garden)

"It." (Leona)

"Okay boy, it's time to register you as an adventurer. We better get in. Come on, you guys come along too." (Garden)

Garden entered into the Guild, I Rin and Leona followed behind the Garden.

Within the Guild, I saw several different races like elves, demihumans, and other races gathering within these Guilds, but I did not see the demon race.

We reached one of the tables like a reception desk, and there was a pretty lady with short blue hair who was at the table.

"Hello welcome, how can I help you?" (the receptionist)

"Alice, I want to enlist the two of them to become adventurers, can you take care of that?" garden said to the receptionist he called Alice.

"All right then. There are some things I want to ask you both." Alice looked at me and Rin.

"All right."

"Then can you come with me?" (Alicia)

"Good." (Hikari)

Rin and I followed Alice into a room inside the Guild and didn't forget to put my sword in the Garden. When I got inside I saw several chairs and also one table that was quite large in the room and also I saw some books on the table.

"You please sit down." (Alicia)

"Good." Rin and I sat side by side.

I saw Alice open one of the books on the table. Then Alice started asking us questions.

"Well, you can introduce yourself first." (Alicia)

"Okay, my name is Hiroaki." I said firmly.

"And you?" Alice looked towards Rin.

"My name is Rin." (By)

Then he wrote something in the book.

"Hmmm, Hiroaki and Rin, alright already. Now the next question, why do you want to be an adventurer?" (Alicia)

I answered. "I want to get stronger." I answered originally because I don't know what the right answer to this question is.

"And you're Rin?" Alice saw Rin, again.

"I-I want to be able to continue with Hikari." (By)

"Eh? Ehhhhhhh?!" I was surprised to hear Rin say that.

Rin's face flushed and so did I.

(Because of the couple effect.)

Alice looks ordinary.

"Hmmmm, like that. All right, now the last question." (Alicia)

"Hey Alice, what kind of excuse is that okay?!" (Hikari)

"Of course, I'm just asking her why, and as long as she answers, I'll definitely accept whatever that reason is." (Alicia)

Then he smiled.

"Good." (Hikari)

Alice was right, she was just asking for an excuse, so whatever reason she would accept it. But, I was quite surprised by what Rin said just now.

"Now answer the last question. Have you ever done that?" (Alicia)

"Doing? Did what? What's to be done? I don't understand." I said a little confused. Rin remained silent after he heard that.

"Hmmm... Seems not yet. All right, now the last step..." Alice took two pieces of paper and a candle that had been burned. "...May I have a few fingerprints for you to stick on this paper."

"All right."

Before that, I saw a piece of writing that I did not understand, and without caring about it I also gave a fingerprint on one of the papers taken by Alice, as well as Rin.

After that, Alice took and burned the paper with the candle she took along with the paper. I, curious, decided to ask him.

"A-anu, Alice? Why is the paper burned?"

"Indeed, it is a ritual to make you an adventurer. And from now on you are adventurers, and you can take a quest that is on the board, and also you can take a quest that is in another kingdom, to rank you two it is a beginner or a D rank. You can't take missions above your rank and vice versa. And you can leave because you're already registered as adventurers." (Alicia)

"Good."

After Alice said that, Rin and I turned around to leave the room.

"Ehhh!! Wait a minute, I forgot something." (Alicia)

I heard Alice calling us. And we stopped.

Suddenly I saw Alice approaching me and Rin, carrying two black cards.

"Take this." (Alicia)

Alice gave us the card.

I who was curious about the card immediately launched a question to Alice.

"What card is this?"

"This card is the mark card of an adventurer. By showing this card to the receptionist, you can take a quest and also by handing over the evidence in the form of pieces or anything that indicates that your mission has been carried out, you can take the action, you can take the payment for the quest you've successfully done." (Alicia)

"All right then."

"Oh, one more thing, your rank can go up by completing some high-level missions that are in your current rank, and that is also true for the other ranks." (Alicia)

"All right."

After that I walked out.

"May 'Sakusha' protect you." Alice said in a soft voice.

Of course I heard what he said. "Sakusha?" But I didn't know what he meant, so I decided to ask Garden. He said he would answer all my questions.

Seriate.
