Chapter 118: Onward to Sarenza

I’d already left the Adventurers Guild to meet Lynne. It was past noon, and the sun was high in the sky. I was in a bit of a hurry—I hoped everyone wasn’t waiting on me—but when I arrived, I saw only one person I recognized.

“Rolo!”

He turned upon hearing my voice. “Noor. It’s been a while.”

“Are you coming to Sarenza too?”

“Mm-hmm. I asked if I could, since I might get the chance to see some people I know.”

“Oh, that’s right. You were born there, weren’t you?”

“Mm-hmm. I never got to spend much time outside, though, so it’ll be just as unfamiliar for me as for you.”

Rolo spoke and moved with confidence; the timid boy from when we’d first met was nowhere to be seen. It was honestly reassuring that he was coming with us.

“Are these people coming too?” I asked, looking at the others who had gathered. “I don’t think I’ve met them before.” I could see several men and a woman, all clad in black robes. The latter was petite and wore glasses. There was also a girl with a bow slung over her back and strange animal ears atop her head.

“Most of them are here to see us off,” Rolo explained. “Only Sirene over there is coming along.”

He had gestured to the girl with animal ears, who casually strolled over and stood next to him. “Rolo,” she said, “is this the ‘Noor’ I’ve heard so much about?”

“Mm-hmm. This is him.”

She took a few brisk steps forward, then stopped right in front of me and stood up straight. “My name is Sirene. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. At Captain Mianne’s recommendation, I was granted the honor of accompanying you all on your journey. I have heard a lot about you, Noor. Though I might not be as skilled as the captain, I will not be a burden. Our time together might be short, but I look forward to traveling with you.”

Sirene’s greeting was polite and no-nonsense. Ines and Lynne were like that too; I supposed etiquette was a big deal for everyone in the royal capital. I got the impression that Sirene really had her act together, despite her young age.

“Right. I’ll do my best not to burden you either,” I replied. “Good to be traveling with you.”

I went to shake her hand, and she reciprocated. Though her arms looked slender, she was far stronger than I’d expected. Her beautiful golden bow caught my eye.

A bow, huh? That takes me back.

The first time I’d touched one was when I attended the hunter training school as a child. I hadn’t known how to control my strength, so I’d ended up breaking every single bow the school had on hand. I’d even bent my instructor’s precious bow out of shape, ruining it.

As a result of that incident, I was forbidden from touching another bow. The rest of my hunter training had consisted of throwing rocks. I still managed to learn a lot, though; my instructor taught me things like how to read the wind and hit fast-moving targets from far away.
