“Truth is,” Jil began, “we’re not originally from this town. We come from a smaller one, west of here.”

As I listened to Jil and Shuri’s disjointed explanation, I tried to summarize the key points in my head. The two had been born in a small town to the west. Their mother had passed away early on, and their father had remarried. However, due to an epidemic years later, their father, too, had passed.

The two had lived for a while with their stepmother and their newly born younger brother, but life was tough. The stepmother, wanting to leave the farm to her own child, conspired with her family and drove the two siblings out of the house, abandoning them in this town.

Apparently this had only just happened when they met me. It was difficult for children with no knowledge of the necessities of daily life to survive on their own in the slums. However, it was very likely that Viktor, the owner of the general store, had watched out for the siblings, despite his nagging.

“You saved us and even gave us money back then, Alia. It was a big help,” Jil said.

“Yeah! You were so cool that it inspired us to become stronger, so now we’re adventurers,” Shuri explained.

“I see...” I hadn’t done anything, though. I’d seen an enemy and killed him, no more than that.

“We sold rabbits to the old man at the general store and bought weapons from Galvus with the money,” Jil continued.

“Look, see?” Shuri said as she and her brother proudly showed me their weapons, a short blade and a knife, both made of steel. The pieces did indeed seem to suit the two “just fine.”

I doubted the raggedy rabbits they’d brought in would’ve fetched enough to buy weapons of this caliber, though, so the cranky old duo must’ve given them the weapons as a gift of sorts. They really were soft at heart.

The siblings continued to explain that when Shuri turned ten, she and thirteen-year-old Jil had started adventuring— Actually, no, they still had no combat skills, so they’d started making a living by carrying gear for adventurers.

“There’s some people at the Adventurers’ Guild here who knew us from our old town,” Jil explained. “We lug gear around for their party and other people they know.”

“They teach us to fight sometimes!” Shuri added. “We don’t get sorcery at all, though!”

And thus, the two had been living like that, until one day they heard a strange rumor.

“Orcs, you said?” I asked.

“Yeah,” Shuri confirmed.

Earlier, while I was talking to the receptionist, she’d mentioned that it wasn’t public knowledge yet, but orcs had apparently formed a settlement a little to the west of the ruins near, where other monsters lived. Not only that, they were located between the ruins and a town, so there had already been a few casualties.

In such a case, I figured it was the baron’s job, as the lord of these lands, to send soldiers to the town. That, or the town should’ve petitioned the Adventurers’ Guild for help.
