【Adventurer Mitran】Adventurer Registration

“Aah!? A brat like you wants to register as an adventurer?”

“Forget it, forget it! You'll just end up getting eaten by wolves and dying!”

“I mean, look at this scrawny little brat. Forget wolves, wouldn't he get eaten alive by a Chiwanwan?”

“You're not wrong!”

““““Gya-hahahahaha!!!””””

......Like this, surrounded by booze-reeking old guys in broad daylight: that's me, and my name is Mitran.

A boy who wants to be an adventurer, age 7!

Well, because of my face, I'm usually mistaken for a girl, but putting that aside.

This is the Adventurers' Guild branch office in the town of Sondor, a gathering spot for rough adventurers (people like the booze-reeking, grubby old guys around me).

The reason I came to this place, which is a bit intimidating for a 7-year-old to step into.

It's because, just as Old Guy A said, I'm here to register as an adventurer!

Being an adventurer is a dangerous profession.

Exploring vast territories where various threats lurk, gathering materials, and subjugating monsters.

That's the kind of job it is.

Normally, it's not the kind of work a small 7-year-old boy would do.

Normally, that is!

But, I was confident.

Confident that I could make my mark as an adventurer, and then rise to the top!

Because, you see, I am.

An isekai reincarnator!

◇ ◇ ◇

I was born as the fourth son of a poor tenant farmer in a farming village with the haphazard name of Pe. I only realized “I am an isekai reincarnator” just a little while ago.

At the time, I was fighting with my big brothers.

The trigger was something trivial.

I accidentally stepped on the foot of my eldest brother.

That sparked the fight.

With a bonk, I got smacked on the head.

And then, I remembered!

The memories of my previous life!

And the god I met when I was reincarnating!

That god called himself the “Adventure God.”

He was a wild-looking old guy of a god, the type a beard really suits.

That god said to me:

“I'll grant you power, so I want you to become an adventurer and make a name for yourself.”

Apparently, if I become an adventurer and succeed, and people's longing for adventurers grows, the old guy's power gets stronger too.

Wait, what, it's for his own sake?

Isn't it supposed to be ‘please save the world’ or something like that?

I thought about that, but well, if he's giving me power, I figured that was fine, so I accepted the god's offer.

The god also said, “Strong adventurers are great. They're super popular with the ladies.”

In my previous life, my name was “Araya Shinta,” but I was a bit chubby and lacked confidence in my looks, so I lived a life far removed from girls.

Before I knew it, I was nodding at top speed, you know!

Well, anyway.

The moment I remembered that, an indescribable power surged through my entire body!

I immediately beat my big brothers to a pulp, leaped out of the house, and headed straight for this Adventurers' Guild branch office in the next town!

◇ ◇ ◇

So, here's the situation.

I'd just asked the guild's receptionist lady to register me as an adventurer when these grubby old adventurer guys started picking on me, and now I'm surrounded, that's the deal.

This is, that thing, isn't it!

This is what they call the staple development!

I used to enjoy isekai reincarnation works in my previous life, so I know this well.

This is the scene where I unleash my power without realizing it, knock the old guys flat with ease, and then blink in confusion at how easy it was!

“Hey, you lot! What the hell are you doing!”

However!

The moment I put strength into my body to clear out the old guys, a voice like that echoed from the entrance of the branch office!

“Tch! Silver-haired brat...... it's Kamasse, the rank-3 adventurer.”

“Should we take him on, boss?”

“No, he looks like that, but his skill is the real deal. He'd turn the tables on us.”

“The odds are bad against an elite like him. Let's back off......”

Saying such things, the old guys backed away and distanced themselves from me.

With the filthy obstacles gone from my view, the interior of the branch office became clear.

I turn my face toward the source of the voice, the entrance of the branch office.

Standing there was a silver-haired boy.

In terms of my previous life, he was probably around middle-school age, with an appearance that suggested he was still growing.

He's a handsome guy with beautiful silver hair and almond-shaped eyes, but somehow those refined features give off a cold, arrogant impression.

“Hey, brat...... what the hell are you doing in a place like this? This isn't a playground for kids.”

The silver-haired boy...... did the old guys call him Kamasse?

Saying that, Kamasse now glared at me in turn.

This person...... is strong!

He's incomparable to those old guys from before!

I could understand that just from the pressure of his gaze.

But, he's no match for me, not with the power I got from a god.

Putting strength into my body once more, I fire back, refusing to lose!

“I didn't come here to play! I came to register as an adventurer!”

“What'd you saaay......!?”

Hearing those words, Kamasse's pressure grows even stronger!

I already had a feeling.

This is, that thing.

This is where it turns into me fighting Kamasse!

Earlier, the old guys called this Kamasse an elite.

In other words, the elite Kamasse simply can't stand the idea of me, who looks like a kid from a poor farming family, becoming an adventurer.

Then, he'll say something about teaching me my place or whatever and come at me, but I'll turn the tables on him.

I'll break that arrogant nose of his and a little ‘serves you right’ scene will unfold, completely crushing the elite's prestige.

That's how it's supposed to go!

“You! Don't screw with me!!”

Saying that, Kamasse reaches out toward me!

Here it comes, here it comes!

But I won't counterattack immediately!

I'll let him land one hit.

That's necessary to establish self-defense.

Anyway, my body is brimming with the god's power, so it won't hurt one bit.

......But.

The development from there on was quite different from my expectations.

The hand Kamasse extended didn't strike my cheek, nor did it hit my stomach...... it was placed gently on my shoulder.

“Hey...... you, where are you from?”

“......Eh? Uhm, Pe, but......”

“The neighboring village...... looking at your clothes, you're a farmer's son, right? You're wearing proper clothes, so it's not like you escaped from abuse by your parents or anything, right?”

“Ah, y, yeah......”

“And yet, you've got no luggage. Just the clothes on your back, by the looks of it...... I've got you figured out, it's that, isn't it? You had a fight with your family or something and stormed out of the house, right?”

“U, um...... well, I guess that's about it......?”

“You idiot!!”

Kamasse's eyes go wide, and he gets angry!

The hand gripping my shoulder tightens, and the pressure coming off his body grows stronger!

“You stormed out of the house on your own, and you want to be an adventurer!? Don't screw with me!! Think about how your parents feel!! You suddenly vanish, how worried do you think they are!?”

E, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?

Kamasse is so sensible!!

A COMMON-SENSE LECTURE JUST STARTED, THOUUUUUUGH!?

“Come on, follow me! I'll take you back to Pe. Are you hungry? Want some skewers from a stall? Don't be shy, I'll treat you to that much.”

“U, um, um?”

◇ ◇ ◇

After that, unable to resist Kamasse's overwhelming push, I was led by the hand back to the village of Pe.

Along the way, I heard a few things from Kamasse.

He said there's a girl he absolutely wants to see again, and while searching for her, he's traveling and helping people as an adventurer wherever he goes.

When I asked if he liked her, he turned bright red and gave me a little knock on the head.

It seems he likes her.

Oh, and he did treat me to skewers.

They were delicious.

When I returned home, my parents cried with joy that I had been found.

Running off on my own...... that was really not okay, I thought, and I was sorry.

I apologized to my big brothers, and we made up.

We fight often, but we're actually quite close brothers.

After seeing that, Kamasse smiled with satisfaction and returned to the town of Sondor without accepting any thanks.

And now, in the present.

I'm tilling the fields together with my parents and big brothers.

We're tenant farmers.

There are no fields for me to inherit.

That's why, when I grow up more and reach the age to stand on my own......

That's the time I'm going to become an adventurer.

After properly saying goodbye to my parents and big brothers, of course.

Until then, I'll be a good son.

I'll cherish the time I spend with my family.

That's, what I decided.

That much, you'll let slide, right?

Right? Adventure God?
