Chapter 41: Becoming Adventurers

"What? You want to become adventurers?"

The blonde-haired counter girl looked slightly surprised at the four (Three?) of us

"Um— Are you students from the Royal Intermediate Academy? You all look quite young. Are you already third-year students? Where's your captain?"

"Captain?" Laphae tilted her head in confusion.

"Hmm? You don't know?" The counter girl instantly perked up, slightly widening her eyes. "Are you guys really students from the Royal Intermediate Academy?"

"We are indeed students from the Royal Intermediate Academy, but we're not third-year students; we're first-year students."

The one who answered the counter girl is my female self (Yue), even though in reality, Xue'er is a first-year student. And I (Night) am not a student of the Royal Academy—but let's not mention that.

However, even without saying it, what I (Yue) said was enough to make the counter girl show an angry expression. "What are you kids doing here messing around? First-year students want to register as adventurers? Don't you know that even third-year students from the Royal Intermediate Academy need a high-level adventurer of at least C-rank or above as their captain when registering as adventurers?"

"Huh? Is that so? Aren't adventurers supposed to register whenever they want?"

"Of course not! Without an experienced and strong adventurer leading, whether it's the school or the Adventurer's Guild, they would never allow a group of kids to undertake adventure tasks on their own. Even for the lowest-level I-rank adventure tasks, though they're mostly safe, without the guidance of an experienced adventurer, a group of kids can't handle it, and no client would agree to let a group of children complete their tasks—let alone without a C-rank or above high-level adventurer accompanying them, a group of kids can't even connect the tasks."

After hearing the counter girl's long explanation, I (Night(♂)) nodded in understanding, "Hmm, I see. So go ahead and register us quickly."

"Didn't you completely misunderstand everything!?"

The counter girl was already furious.

Although I knew she meant well, I shut her down with a simple sentence: "The Adventurer's Guild has never had a strict rule against allowing children to register as adventurers on their own. Certainly, there is no rule stating that a group of children registering as adventurers must have a C-rank or above adventurer as their leader. So you have no reason to stop us from registering."

"Uh..."

The counter girl was momentarily speechless, her face turning red.

Surprised that I knew that much? Where do you think I grew up?

Due to my mother's (Fay) job, The Adventurer's Guild can be considered as my home; I'm quite familiar with the rules here.

"Don't worry, miss. We just want to play adventurer games and won't take on any dangerous tasks. And, as you said, without a captain, no client would agree to let us take on tasks, right?"

I (Yue(♀)) smiled and reassured the counter girl.

She hesitated, "Even so, there are many adventurer tasks that don't limit the number of participants. Clients only care about the final results, and such tasks are usually very dangerous."

Hearing this, I (Night(♂)) calmly said, "Enough, stop the nonsense. Hurry up; don't waste our time. We've said you have no reason to stop us. If you waste more of our time, I'll complain to the higher ups about you."

"Night, that's too rude." I (Yue) scolded me, "Miss, I know you are just looking out for us. But we are more than capable to handling ourself, and beside, we would not be doing anything than the lowest level task, don't worry; I'll make sure my team don't do anything dangerous."

"Fine, I understand."

In the end, The counter girl could only force a smile and take out the application form.

"I hope you keep your promise. Remember, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely do not take on any dangerous tasks."

Hearing this, as I took the application form, I (Yue(♀)) and I (Night(♂)) finally smiled together.

"Thank you very much."

The counter girl looked a bit stunned, then couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you two siblings?"

"No." I (Yue) was puzzled by The counter girl's sudden question.

"Then, are you a couple?"

"We are not." I (Night) looked at The counter girl with confusion.

Upon hearing our replies, The counter girl playfully patted our shoulders, saying with a teasing tone:

"Then you two will definitely become the best couple when you grow up. Remember to send an invitation to me on your wedding day."

Crack—

At that moment, both of my body can hear the sound of teeth grinding right behind us.

I decided not to look back.
