Chapter 2 Episode 15: Inquiry

I see. ‘F and G rank adventurers’ would include them as well.

“Yes! Thank you for yesterday!”

“Thank you for yesterday!”

The others echoed the words of the girl who spoke first, bowing their heads and attracting the curious eyes of people around us. I suppose there was no point in telling them not to look. Since my surroundings were dominated by countless slimes on standby to assist with the job, their presence alone was quite eye-catching.

“Umm, what’s this about...?”

Their attitudes were quite different to yesterday, though I had an idea why.

“We wanted to thank you for saving us and apologize for our attitude yesterday.”

“Well, thank you for that. I’m glad you were safe too. I’m Ryoma Takebayashi, a human. As you can see, these are my slime familiars.”

This was my third time meeting these kids, but I still didn’t know their names. I introduced myself since they came to thank me, but it caused them to stiffen nervously as they introduced themselves back.

And to my surprise, they were...

A monkey beastkin named Beck, aged 13.

A dog beastkin named Ruth, aged 12.

An ape beastkin named Wist, aged 11.

...Those were the boys, and as for the girls...

A half elf named Martha, aged 12.

A half dwarf named Finia, aged 12.

And a dog beastkin named Rumille, aged 12.

I had assumed they were two beastkin people and four humans, but I was wrong.

The two halflings were completely human in appearance, and the ape and monkey beastkin were also misleading!

For the record, Beck was the shortest one that spoke the most. Unfortunately, his height and rude tone had made him seem like nothing more than an arrogant child, but he was actually the eldest and trying to act as the leader.

Also, the ape beastkin Wist was actually the youngest, despite being the biggest. I had assumed he was the oldest.

“The adults said my height was an issue with my species...”

His personality was also the picture of timidness. I asked about the different impression I had of him yesterday when he was cornered against the wall, and he said it was because he squeezed out all his willpower while working so that the other adventurers wouldn’t look down on him. He did seem intimidating for his age when he was standing silently, though.

An ape beastkin and monkey beastkin. Now that I knew that, I could see the resemblance to a gorilla and golden snub-nosed monkey when I looked at them... especially in their hair colors. I didn’t say it out loud to be polite, but now I couldn’t see them as anything but that.

But that aside...

They were still children, but they all excelled in their respective species traits of physical abilities and magic energy.

Ruth and Rumille had the dog beastkin characteristics of a sharp nose and good physical balance, while the half-elf Martha specialized in magic. The monkey beastkin Beck could nimbly scale any tree with ease, while the ape beastkin Wist and half-dwarf Finia had extraordinary strength for children, which they showed me.

It was interesting to compare the traits between species.
