I Was Reincarnated But I Don't Know Why Chapter 33

TL: Yuki

「Toto-san, I want you to join the Aries Royal Knights」

「Don't want to」

It was an immediate answer.

I looked around without even thinking about the strange atmosphere, and my parents also displayed a shocked face, and even Vanil Mirth-san had his mouth wide open from shock, while Zanbarsan was holding her stomach from laughing too much.

Even though knights usually have good salaries, the way they work feels really stiff and I don't like it, you know? I'm fine just becoming as adventurer, I want my job to be something that won't really restrain me after all, beside, I am finally living in a Fantasy-like world, and going on an adventure is a must.

「Why don't you want to? 」

「I want to be an adventurer」

Wa, why did you turn to my parents to ask, but Dad only shook his head sideways, Mom also only confirmed with a nod.

「That kid, she probably won't listen even if you ask her」

「I did hear that she actually joined the tournament because of hearing the price money. Working as a knight would be much safer than being an adventurer, and also the salary would be much more stable」

Hey, the fact about joining because of the money was only what Lutie concluded.

『Oh, now that I think about it, Toto, you did become more enthusiastic in partic.i.p.ating in the arena when you heard about the a million Gris price』

You don't have to deliberately say it.

You see, it's not because of the money at first but the fact tha, 《I could easily win lots money if I win in a fight》 so it's not because of the money, that point should be taken.

「The Order, too strict」

「Well, it deals with protecting the peace and order, so there are certainly tough situations……」

「Adventurers want more」

I proudly declared what I wanted and I can't something like that definitely. I think it would be easier for me to agree with what Zanbarsan might request in comparison to that.

After thinking for a bit with his arms crossed, Vanil Mirth-san then told me the real reason as to why he wants to recruit me.

「The real reason you see is that the knights have determined that your ability to fight alongside your age is currently dangerous. That's why we would like to at least put you under our supervision until you are at least 15 years old, the age where you would be considered as an adult. That's what we really like to ask of you 」

Well, if you think about it, children can easily be influenced by a lot of things, that includes bad things and they may be taken advantage of by bad people.

That seems to be the reason why he invited me to join the knight's order, it also seems like I would be able to invite my parents along with me, but if possible they want me to go by myself.

「If alone, will be fine probably, but, is it okay to stay there? 」

「Well, if you are really aiming to be an adventurer, then staying in the capital would be more advantageous for you. Also, in case you have a place to live in, we can a.s.sign someone to stay with you, but if you don't have any residence, then we could find an appropriate house for you to reside in.」

「But, but?」

「Of course, our side will handling everything free of charge, because just having you come to the royal capital would bring more convenience for us as we watch over you」

Well, the offer is certainly very attractive, and there's really nothing to worry about, but if I will be spending my days with a knight watching over me, it would be really awkward if it's a person that I'm not acquainted with.

「Um, who will be coming? 」

「It will be a female knight definitely, but is Toto acquainted with any of the knight members? 」

Hmm, if it's the knights then I only know a few of them that I was acquainted with like Lutie or Ornicsan or Griffit-sanor Ansel-san maybe?　When we talk about female members, then it would either be Lutie orAnsel-san, but Ansel-sanis the deputy chief, so if anyone from the knights would be good enough then the only choice would be Lutie.

「Lutie」

「You mean the apprentice, Lutie Esta Aries right?」

「right」

「Hmmm, even though she's still an apprentice, the age is closer to yours and she is also living in a dormitory」

While Vanil Mirth-san was thinking about the conditions, Zanbarsan took that chance to talk about her side of the conversation.

「Sorry but, I would like you to do that that after my request is resolved, my client really want to meet her you see, you may then take her to the capital after that」

Uuh, I have a feeling that me going to the capital is already a done deal. Well, I already have my parent's permission and have no real reason to refuse it. It's also the best chance for me to live in the capital almost free of charge.

「Haah, alright」

He could only let out a sigh after agreeing to Zanbarsan, and so it was decided that I would go after we finish with what Zanbarsan want. I probably won't be able to say my farewell to everyone. But well, even if she said that the person want to thank me, I don't really know who it was. And because I don't really know anyone who that person is, I'm kind of nervous.

「Knight Commander-san, is that fine? Then she will come with me first」

「Alright, its fine already, but be sure to bring her back and for her to come to us after you have completed your business」

「Aiyo」

「I don't really know as to what you are after this time but I did hear about you and what you do to some extent. All I could say is that if you take too much time, I won't hesitate to form a search team to find you」

「You don't have to, it would only bother not only me but my employer too, it's not really something that would be worth your attention after all」

I look at the two who was still bickering at each other as they go out, and I turned towards my parents.

「Um, will go」

「I didn't expect for this to come so soon, but please tace care over there. The tools I have in our house is already old so it would be better for you to buy new things over there. Oh, and don't forget to buy a tool bag first」

「Got it」

「Mom and Dad will also visit you if they can when they are celebrating the country festival」

「Un」

When I chased the two people who went out, I found Rikkchan watching from a distance, and also the people were saying 「Toto brought some weird people again」.

It might have been sudden, but it was really awkward for me to tell her that I'm leaving for the capital again when I have just returned from that place.

Vanil Mirth-san and Zanbarsan continued complaining at each other until they reach the place where the horses were tied up. They then finally stopped when they were already preparing their horses to move out.

「Well then, shall we go」

In response to those words, Rikkchan ran towards us.

「Ne, Toto-chan, will you be going somewhere again? 」

「Um, Un, also, maybe, will not be back for while」

「Um!」

In just a moment, her face flushed red and then she started crying. She closed her mouth for a moment then started crying louder again. It was far worse than any of times she had cried before.

「You, Liar! 」

After shouting that will all her might, she then ran away. I who was stunned from her sudden outburst don't know what to do if I should chase her or not.

I know it was sad but I chose to become an adventurer when it was a choice between staying with my friend and becoming one.

In the first place, even if I did postpone it until I grow, my decision have already been decided…… it only happened a little earlier.

「What's wrong, is that a friend of yours? 」

「Un, but, already decided, don't know what to say」

「Oh, if it's that girl, maybe she would like to join you when you grow a little bigger」

「Hmmm, but Rikkchan is……」

Because she was sick all this time, I didn't really find her to be the outgoing type, she did act like she was one when she finally recovered and would be the one to drag me out of the house to go pick up wild vegetables in the forest.

Even though I was allowed to be an, it would still be a while for me to leave the capital because I will be under surveillance as told by Vanil Mirth-san, so I won't be able to meet her in a long time.

「For the time being, let's get on the horse, be sure not struggle too hard」

「Nn」

Zanbarsan lifts me up and positioned me at the base of then of the horse, and then Zanbarsan straddled behind me.

「Yoshi, Well then let's go, be sure not to fall off」

「Haaahー…… Liar……」

During the four day trip, I could still remember the words that Rikkchan told me.

Our movement was faster than a horse-drawn carriage and I don't really as to where we were heading to. We pa.s.sed by Ruveria in just one day and now we are staying in an Inn in a town far beyond that place.

The direction we are headed to was not towards the capital so the destination is probably a place far away from it.

『You don't really have to worry about that so much, it might only be a temporary parting, you know?』

「I know, but you see」

Helevetia showed herself sitting in the corner of the bed as I was about to sleep and is currently lying down.

It's not that I don't understand, but you see, I still feel lonely and will probably continue to do so building up the loneliness like a bomb. Ahh, I don't really like this.

Seeing me becoming more and more depressed as I sink into the bed, Helvetia laughed at me without being concerned. Isn't she just terrible?

As to why I am able to talk to her at the moment, it was because Zanbarsan went out to things that we would need on the journey and right now there's no one else around other than me and her. That's also why I'm currently just sinking myself into this bed.

『But you know, I am more interested about something that Zanbara and the others were talking about』

All of a sudden, Helvetisan asked me in a serious voice when she looked straight at me.

「What do you want me to ask?」

『It was the reason as to why she has to travel a long way, so I just want to know the reason for that, and also about the person that we are going to see』

「Un, it's fine, but why? 」

『Let's just say that if I caught a fish, I was expecting for that to be a whale, but』
