Chapter 10

"Miss, what's your name? Where did you get this monster, and how did you obtain it?"

As soon as the uncle rebooted, he squatted in front of me and asked. Hmm, is it okay to answer honestly?

The appraisal magic remained silent. Since the appraisal magic is like a mother who tells you if someone is bad, its silence means it's okay to tell.

"My name is Sheena. This is my maid, Kiri. We hunted this monster in the Glass Forest."

At my words, the uncle's eyes widened, and he groaned in a strange voice.

"Ah, all those monsters? The two of you? Just the two of you?"

"Yes, about half each, I think."

"The big ones are mostly Sheena-sama's achievement. I just helped."

Is that so? Kiri was also pretty good at hunting, right?

"Can Sheena-sama use magic? What kind of magic?"

The uncle, who was holding my hand, asked such a thing. Hmm, I don't have any Kendako on my hand. Did he think I could use magic because he assumed I didn't hold a weapon?

"I can use almost everything. Anything."

"Zo, what attributes?"

"Anything? I'm best at holy magic."

I've been using it without a break for five years.

"If that's true, it's an incredible talent. But looking at those materials, it's highly credible! Recently, the number of monsters attacking Eil Street has increased, and we've been recruiting excellent adventurers. Hunting in the Glass Forest! It's a dangerous area where ordinary adventurers enter in groups of dozens!"

I heard that to sell materials to the Adventurer's Guild, you need to register as an adventurer, so that's fine. Wait, what?

When the uncle picked me up, he started walking with big strides. Hey! I'm not a stuffed animal! Don't pick me up so easily!

Before I could protest, Jin snatched me away from the uncle. While holding me, he even growled at the uncle. Is the muscular lion a feline? But I don't like being held by Jin either, so I quickly slipped out of his arms and ran to Kiri.

"Excuse me, Your Highness. I got carried away. Let's immediately appraise Sheena-sama and Kiri-sama's abilities."

"No way. I won't let Sheena become an adventurer!"

Don't decide things on your own. Whether I become an adventurer or not, I want to register as an adventurer to sell materials. I heard that some people register just to sell herbs and materials.

"Such a talent!"

"No way! I'll take care of Sheena."

No way, I don't want to be taken care of by the royal family. Is this going to be another exploitation life?

"Anyway, isn't it necessary to be an adult to become an adventurer? Sheena, isn't it a few more years for you?"

"Oh!"

At Barry's words, the uncle exclaimed in surprise.

He compared me and Jin, then his shoulders drooped, and his face lit up when he saw Kiri.

"Then, let's register Kiri-sama as an adventurer and register Sheena-sama as her apprentice!"

The apprentice registration system is used when an adventurer's child or apprentice wants to become an adventurer. Normally, only adults can become adventurers, but when an adventurer's child aims to become an adventurer or an adventurer trains an apprentice, they can register as an apprentice before adulthood. With apprentice registration, you can receive various benefits, including material purchases, just like regular adventurers. Hmm. But...

"I'm an adult. I'm 15!"

I shouted without thinking. Everyone treats me like a child!

"Eh? An adult?"

Barry looked at me and Kiri alternately, as if thinking it was a joke.

Seeing that Kiri wasn't smiling, he stared at me in surprise.

"Sheena-sama came of age this year during the Flower Season."

By the way, in this world, the year is divided into four seasons: Flower Season, Light Season, Harvest Season, and Snow Season, each lasting about 90 days. There are no specific birthdays, and everyone ages on the first day of each season. I was born during the Flower Season, so I came of age on the first day of this year's Flower Season.

At Kiri's solemn words, everyone in the room let out a silent scream.

◇◇◇

"An adult, and yet so small! Is Sheena sick? Get a doctor!"

The overprotective muscular lion. Annoying.

"Eh? An adult? But her chest is flat?"

The rude comment came from Barry. Kiri's eyes turned absolutely cold. It's the worst thing to say. Ahaha, I don't care if I'm hated.

"Ha, I need to give more snacks to Kiri."

Grandpa, you've been scolded for giving Kiri too many snacks lately. It's my fault for eating so much that I can't eat my meals.

"An adult! Congratulations! You can register as an adventurer! Please consider an exclusive contract with the Eil Street Adventurer's Guild!"

The uncle exploded with joy. Yeah, you're loyal to your desires.

If we continue like this, it won't end well. Let's at least register as adventurers, okay?

We returned to the room we were originally shown. One person is loudly demanding a doctor, but I'm ignoring them. I'm fine, so it's unnecessary.

Adventurer registration is completed by dropping a drop of blood on a thin card. The card has a spell that reacts to the blood, recording age and abilities. Interesting.

I cut my finger with a knife and dropped blood on the card. Immediately, I infused it with magic to heal the wound. I also healed Kiri's finger. The uncle was impressed, saying, "No incantation to activate it!" It's just a small cut, so it's no big deal.

The card glowed dimly, and the spell activated. Kiri's card glowed red. Maybe because she's good at fire magic?

My card, well, what is this? What color? Various lights swirled, and it was beautiful.

Then, various information appeared on the cards.

Kiri

Age: 19

HP: 120

MP: 250

Attribute: Fire

"Kiri-sama's HP is average for a male adventurer, but 250 MP is excellent. That's A-rank level!"

The uncle praised her. As expected, my Kiri. My child is amazing. By the way, Kiri's HP and MP are her true abilities without her bracelet and anklet. She's been trained by hunting in the Glass Forest.

Sheena

Age: 15

HP: 60

MP: ∞

Attribute: Holy, Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Dark

I don't have much HP. But I can cast recovery magic when I'm tired, so it's not a problem. It's said to be the level of a toddler or a sick person.

"MP ∞. I've been working at the guild for years, but I've never seen such a display."

The uncle gulped and trembled nervously. But I have something I'm more curious about!

"Can I be the same A-rank as Kiri?"

I want to match Kiri! It's recommended to form a party with adventurers of the same rank.

"Based on MP and the number of attributes, you're SS-rank. Overall, you're S-rank. But there's a concern about your HP."

"S-rank? Isn't the adventurer rank from A to F?"

"S-rank is above A-rank."

At the uncle's words, I was taken aback. What kind of invincibility is this? I don't need superhero elements. Do I have to register my rank as an adventurer?

"Unregistered rank? Some merchants and those who only sell materials do that... But you'll be looked down upon by other adventurers. Please register!"

"Registering your rank gives you many benefits, like discounts on stagecoach tickets, hotel discounts, and priority access. But you'll also receive mandatory requests from the country and high-ranking nobles."

Jin provided additional information. Good to know!

"I'll be unregistered!"

"Same as Sheena-sama."

Freedom over money! Good assist, Jin!

"No way! Such a high-rank adventurer is rare! Your Highness, that's terrible!"

The uncle looked like he was about to cry. His cool uncle image is completely ruined, how disappointing.

Jin and Barry are also unregistered. Due to their positions, they can't accept mandatory requests from high-ranking nobles. They act first in times of national crisis, so it's fine. That means Jin and Barry are also high-rank adventurers. Well, they seemed strong from the fight I saw before.

Thank you for reporting typos and missing words.

I really appreciate it.

I'm also writing another long story simultaneously.
