A moment later, the two of them, holding freshly-baked potato balls in their hands, sat on the bench at the entrance of the guild.
"Well...I'm really grateful to big brother for buying me snacks."
The "dwarf" girl named Lilyluka smiled awkwardly.
"But it seems you haven't answered the previous question yet."
"Hmm…"
Kevin then realized that he had probably developed a habit of feeding the baby.
Seeing a creature even smaller than Hestia, I couldn't help but feed it a portion of fried potato balls.
After thinking about it, he said casually.
"Supporter? I really need an assistant."
"Huh?! Really?!"
This answer made Lily very excited, and her amber eyes sparkled with excitement.
Her eyes couldn't help but scan the emblem on Kevin's chest.
That is the symbol of the famous craftsman family in the city - the Hephaestus family!
For a supporter like her who has no fighting ability and is bullied.
If only I could get by with a member of Hephaestus's family.
It is definitely more reliable than following some adventurers from a small clan with no background.
And Lily also has her own little thoughts.
Since they are the followers of the forging goddess.
This black-haired big brother might have some high-end equipment to protect himself.
You should know that the equipment produced by Hephaestus's family has always been known for its excellence and high cost.
If she could steal one or two and resell them, she would be rich!
While thinking, Lily patted her chest without hesitation and recommended herself to Kevin.
"Lily is an experienced supporter!"
"Big brother, are you willing to take Lily on an adventure in the dungeon?"
The petite girl looked at Kevin expectantly with innocent and pure eyes.
The latter responded without hesitation.
"It's okay."
"But I haven't registered yet."
"…Huh?"
Lilyluka was stunned for a moment, as if thinking about the meaning of this sentence.
"'Not registered'——Isn't my brother an official adventurer yet?"
"Just as you said."
Damn it, I thought it was a handsome, rich, fat fish.
Unexpectedly, he is a completely new rookie adventurer!
There was a barely perceptible hint of disappointment in Lily's eyes, but she concealed it very well.
"Then Big Brother must want to go to the guild to register as an adventurer, right?"
"I can wait outside the door until big brother finishes the formalities!"
Kevin looked at Lily thoughtfully.
It seems that even if he hadn't met Bell, this kid would have been a habitual offender in trapping newcomers.
Such a bad kid...needs to be properly educated.
If she really attacks me, it would be an opportunity.
After thinking about it, Kevin looked puzzled.
"You won't be coming with me to the guild hall?"
Hearing this, the dwarf girl scratched her head and revealed a pitiful expression.
"The hall is full of aggressive adventurers. If a weak supporter like Lily appears in their field of vision, she will be bullied."
In fact, Lily was just afraid that her identity would be exposed by other adventurers in the guild.
And the guild staff recognized him and reminded Kevin to stay away from them.
However, her words were not exaggerated. The status of supporters among adventurers was indeed very low.
It is common for adventurers to exploit their supporters and delay paying their share of the adventure and remuneration.
Lily suffered the most and had many similar experiences.
"I see."
Kevin nodded and didn't force it.
"Then you have to wait outside for a while. I will complete the registration as soon as possible."
After reaching out and touching Lily's little head covered by the hood, Kevin turned and left, following the crowd into the Adventurer's Guild.
After his figure completely disappeared, Lily stopped smiling and murmured softly.
"...What a strange guy."
If it is another new adventurer, the supporter's request will be approved.
They will also immediately set rules in a firm manner to determine the distribution of profits when exploring the dungeon.
But Kevin seemed to be completely unconcerned and didn't take the matter to heart at all.
He even took her to the stall to buy some fried potato balls as soon as possible.
This was the first time for Lily, who had experienced being exploited by a team of black-hearted adventurers and had to pay for adventure supplies out of her own pocket.
"Do you really want to betray him during your adventure like before?"
"…There's nothing we can do about it."
Lily's gaze gradually dimmed, and her eyes lost their luster.
"Who made Lily so weak? If she wants to survive in Orario, she must do whatever it takes."
...
Adventurer's Guild, business window.
"Hello, I'm here to register as an adventurer."
The clear and crisp voice of the young man made Aina look up from the pile of documents.
It is not difficult to tell from her pointed, slender ears that curve upward.
This adventure and guild teller lady is half elf.
Aina's eyes fell on the young man in front of her, and she had already made a judgment in her mind.
It's a child I haven't seen before, and his race is probably human.
In terms of human age, he should have just reached adulthood, right?
Is it really okay for you to explore a dangerous dungeon at such a young age?
Although many thoughts of wanting to dissuade him flashed through my mind.
However, Aina still put on a professional smile and took out a form.
"Okay, can you write the common language? Of course, I can also write for you..."
"Don't bother, I can do it myself."
Kevin said casually, took the form and began to fill it out familiarly.
This surprised Aina quite a bit - she had seen many powerful adventurers in the guild.
But it is rare to see someone who can write so fluently.
After all, most of the guys who can become adventurers are uneducated and rough people.
In most cases, it is sufficient for the adventurer to write his or her own name.
You will pass the test if your vocabulary reserve is enough to understand the announcements on the notice board in the hall.
Only clerks like her who have been going to the "school district" since childhood have a higher level of education.
The teenager took less than 5 minutes to complete a registration form.
"Kevin, human, age... 16, so he has just reached adulthood."
Aina's eyes barely noticeably passed over the form in her hand and secretly observed Kevin in front of the window.
Even by the elves' aesthetic standards, this young man could be considered handsome.
However, when browsing the "Family Member" column, Aina couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Eh? You've already joined the clan?"
"And they are... the followers of Lady Hephaestus?"
In her impression, most of the members of Hephaestus's family, who were famous for forging, were muscular blacksmiths.
Although there are women like the "One-eyed Master", they are just exceptions.
"That's right."
Kevin nodded, curious.
"Any questions?"
"No, sorry... I'm just a little surprised."
Aina quickly shook her head and continued to scan the following content.
After a moment, she had a general understanding of Su Ye in her mind, so she looked at him again.
"The information you filled out is very complete and there is nothing to add."
"But before you register as an official adventurer, you need to choose an 'Adventure Consultant'."
"Adventure consultant?"
Noticing the puzzled look from the boy, Aina coughed lightly and explained.
"To prevent new adventurers from losing too many lives in the dungeon due to lack of common sense and other issues."
"The guild has set up the 'Adventure Advisor' mechanism in the hope of reducing such casualties."
"The adventure consultant will give corresponding advice and information based on the progress of the new adventurer."
"There are currently several staff members in charge of this matter, including..."
Suddenly, Su Ye interrupted Aina's words.
"I would like Miss Aina to be my adventure consultant, is that okay?"
"Huh? I am indeed in charge of adventure consulting as well."
The half-elf lady was stunned for a moment and answered subconsciously.
"But there are other experienced seniors in the guild. You can consider it before making a decision..."
"No."
Kevin smiled and confirmed it in a decisive tone.
"I believe Miss Aina."
