Semi-retired Adventurer Lives Leisurely

assure you of the events to come.

 

Jend: “He’s the captain of the knights and a Hero, right?”

 

Henry: “He’s the captain and a Hero, yup”

 

And to be frank, he’s still one of the more normal ones for his title.
I had a theory of how far off a person’s personality was is directly proportional to their strength.

 

Lana: “Then, we’ll just leave the address as here for now…I’ll send off the letter to the university first thing in the morning.
But even so, the reply back may take some time.”

 

Well, that was expected and according to plan.

 

We were going to go sight-seeing in the meantime.
The Capital Library, live theatre, art museums and various other exhibits.
We can go around to many locations that will be nurturing to our souls and expand our horizons.

 

Teo: “I’m looking forward to it.”

 

Lanal: “Yeah, me too! Is there some place you want to go?”

 

Teo: “There’s a place that sells delicious snacks.”

 

Lana: “Then let’s have dessert there!”

 

Teo and Lana are making their plans while checking out a Capital Tour brochure.

 

Lana’s the Quest sponsor, and Teo is the youngest, so letting them choose our route will be fine.

 

Cyril: “Umm… could I add something?”

 

Lana: “What is it, Miss Cyril?”

 

Cyril: “After we go to the university, could we drop by a certain place? I believe it’s called… Ah, here it is.
The Torineko Street? I wanted to go here.”

 

Torineko Street? I’ve never heard of it.

I’ve done my fair share of guard quests for people visiting the Capital so I have the majority of tourist sites memorized.

 

Jend: “Hey Cyril, we’re here for work.”

 

Cyril: “But I want to see Miss Ferris.
It’s been too long.”

 

…..ohhhhhhhhhh, I get it now.

 

We’re in the barracks if the knights.
In case there is some sort of trouble in the city, they have the Capital City map posted.
In fact, there is a huge one posted in the dining hall.

 

The Black Dragon Knights do not reside in the Capital most of the year, but it’s there for just in case.

 

Henry: “Torineko… Torineko… Ah! Found it.
It’s not that far from the university so we can drop by there I think.”

 

Cyril’s childhood friend, and Jend’s crush – Ferris.

 

I wonder what kind of girl she is.

 

<<<<>>>>

 

So we arrived at the university reception desk to deliver the letter.

 

Afterwards, we dropped by the Torineko Street nearby.

 

This area is nearer to the castle, so there are some luxurious residences lined up……I know her family had a vacation home in Flowtier, but they must be really wealthy.

 

Cyril: “But even so, I just remember her telling us that she lives on this street, but we don’t know her address.”

 

Henry: “Oh, in that case, why don’t we ask someone who lives in this area? You said she’s from a family of knights, right? What’s the family name?”

 

Cyril: “It’s Harshall.
Ferris Harshall.”

 

We’ll ask that lady right over there taking care of the lawn.

 

Henry: “Oh, excuse me.
Sorry to bother you.
I wanted to ask you a question.
Do you have a moment to spare?”

 

“Oh, hello.
….what could I do for a Heroic Warrior like yourself? Are you looking for a Quest Sponsor in this area?”

 

She gives a glance to my Guild tag, and becomes friendlier as she recognizes the rank.

 

Yeah, having a Heroic Warrior title in these circumstances is really handy.
There are some real trouble makers who are adventurers, and if she mistook us for those ruffians, she would have quickly vanished inside the house.”

Well, there’s a high level of security and patrolling done in the area, so any trouble would invite a swarm of knights to descend upon us.

 

Henry: “Oh, yes.
We’re looking for the residence of the Harshalls.
It’s not a quest, but one of our party members is a friend of the Harshall’s daughter.”

 

As soon as I mention the name, her expression tightens.

 

“I see.
You’re a friend of dear Ferris…Unfortunately, they no longer live here.
They used to live across the street from us.”

 

Okay! We found their neighbor! But she’s not here anymore?

 

Henry: “Did they move?”

 

“Well, not really.
…Ferris’ father, who served as the captain of the White Dragon Knights, was arrested and convicted for embezzlement of public funds.”

 

OUCH!!

 

Geesh~ Ferris’ dad has some guts to sneak money out from inside a Knight’s group..
and she said the White Dragon Knights – they directly protect the Capital.
They are literally the perfect symbol of innocence, justice, and strength.
oh man…

 

“At the time, the house was surrounded by the White Dragon Knights, and… it was a terrifyingly frightful scene…”

 

Henry: “Umm… would you happen to know what happened to the family members?”

 

“They would not convict a child for her parent’s crimes, but I’m afraid that I don’t know what has become of Ferris.
Her mother passed many years ago, and it was just her and her father.
I really do hope that she’s okay.”

 

With a deep and worrisome sigh, our conversation ends.

 

Okay.
That was really unexpected…

 

If it’s just her, I hope she had a relative that would have taken her in.
Without that… it’s a very wealthy country, so I’m sure she could find work to survive.

 

There are also bleaker possibilities but…

 

Henry: “Umm, so yeah, Jend.
Apparently it’s like that.”

 

Jend: “If it’s Ferris, I’m not worried.
She’s one of the toughest girls I know.”

 

He says this with fists clenched.

 

….we meet back up with Teo and Lana we left behind at a café.
They didn’t know Ferris so we thought that would be better, and it turned out to be the best decision so far.

 

Okay, so what do we do now…
