A Blade Made of Slime

Chapter 17: New Faces

<Notice. It is time to awaken.>

...mmm... alright...

I stretched a bit before getting out of bed. Another day, another quest for Fran to complete.

I was wondering what we should do today. Maybe another Herb Gathering quest? Hunting?

Regardless, it was up to Fran to choose.

I made my way out and was already preparing to open up Fran's door until someone bumped into me.

"Uuf!?"

"?!"

I ended up being knocked to the ground as some other person fell over top of me. I should have kept an eye on my surroundings!

"O-oh n-no! I-i'm sorry!"

The girl immediately began profusely apologizing.

She was a rather average looking girl with white hair and brown eyes, she didn't look remarkable at all and she wore some glasses that didn't perfectly fit her face. No impressive assets either, they were mostly below average for the most part.

"It's fine, it's fine, you alright?"

"Y-yeah..."

She seemed to have no chill whatsoever, she was like a nervous wreck... she was frantically picking up her books from the floor. There were loads... like actual loads of them... along with them was a little slip that said the expiration date for... a library?

"S-sorry. I was heading over to the library over at the guild."

The guild has a library? That might be interesting to get a look at. I could have Great Sage quickly scan through the books for more information... Now that I think about it, why didn't I try looking for a library before?

"U-um?"

"Ah, sorry. I was busy thinking about something."

"Nn... mastah?"

Fran had opened the door, it seems like she heard the commotion outside and decided to check what was going on despite being rather sleepy still.

"Oh? Hey Fran, I was just about to wake you up."

"Nn... ok..."

"Oh... wait a minute, I could have sworn I heard a name like that floating around at the guild."

"Nn?"

"Are you an adventurer?"

"Ah yes, I am. I-i'm Vesper."

Their stats were pretty pathetic... except for the gigantic intelligence stat which dwarfs every other stat besides magic but even then magic was still way up there! In terms of their dexterity, it was horrendous to the point I'm not even surprised they ended up bumping into me. Their strength, vitality, and agility weren't much to go by either. It just mostly lays with their Skills and their absurd intelligence.
