Third Person POV -

"A book about magic?!" asked a young man no older than 15, with surprise and excitement in his voice.

"Yes, a customer left it here, so you can take it to learn a bit about the magic you've been wanting! You've always complained about not being able to increase that stat, so maybe this will help. Just return it after you've read it, Bell-kun," said the beautiful gray-haired waitress, Syr Flova, as she handed a peculiar book to the young adventurer with white hair.

"Really?! Thank you so much, Miss Syr!" said the excited young man. Looking at the book in his hands, he seemed radiant with the anticipation of learning more about magic, as he currently had no spells and couldn't increase that stat in his Falna, which remained at zero.

"Maybe this will really help me!" he thought to himself as he studied the book's cover in front of him for several seconds.

Bell bid farewell to the waitress and began running back to the old abandoned church where he and his goddess lived alone. Meanwhile, a young woman in front of the famous bar "Hostess of Fertility" watched the adventurer running through the streets of Orario and getting further away. Her eyes sparkled with an amethyst hue, revealing a mischievous look. However, her expression quickly changed when an authoritative voice reprimanded her.

"SYR! Get back inside and start working! Customers are starting to arrive, and we're about to open!" The voice echoed from inside the pub, causing the young woman to lose her composure and rush back inside.

Meanwhile, Bell continued running, lost in happy thoughts as he entered the Orario slums and approached the abandoned church. However, his distracted mind caused him to collide with someone else without noticing. Being an adventurer, Bell had a sturdier body than the other party, who seemed to be an ordinary person. This made the ordinary person fall to the ground like a marionette.

"SORRY! NO!... I MEAN... I'M SORRY FOR THAT!" Bell quickly exclaimed when he realized he had unintentionally knocked someone down and rushed to help.

"Are you okay..." replied the other person cautiously, revealing a tone of pain.

"Are you really okay?" Bell asked with concern, extending a hand to assist the man who had fallen.

Bell helped him to his feet, but he was still concerned for the ordinary person. He had come to Orario with the goal of becoming a hero and clearly didn't want to harm ordinary people.

Bell noticed that the man, seemingly in his twenties like most of the waitresses he knew, got up with his help and tried to brush some of the dirt off his clothes. He turned his face to Bell and gave a shy smile. Bell noticed that the man was poorly dressed and had an unpleasant odor, but he didn't mind these details, as he was more concerned about the idea of having hurt someone.

"It was nothing, but I have to admit, you're quite strong, kid. Are you an adventurer by any chance?" He asked without anger in his voice. Bell was relieved by the other person's reaction and responded enthusiastically.

"Yes, I'm a level 1 adventurer, but I'll soon reach new heights! Still, I'm sorry about that!" Bell bowed as a sign of apology to the ordinary man.

"It's alright, young adventurer. I can continue on my way. Thanks for the help either way, young adventurer," said the man, thanking Bell, and began walking in the opposite direction.
