The next day, EeDeChi and Barrett abandoned their ship and came ashore, arriving at Tansburg City. Tansburg City was located on a plain, built along a river, with frequent trade between surrounding towns, a thriving economy, and a highly mobile population. People came and went in the city, and various carriages entered and exited through the city gates, bringing goods and wealth.
The two adventurers decided to begin their "recruitment" here. Barrett went to the tavern, the bulletin board, and the Adventurer's Guild hall to post recruitment notices for their adventure team, while EeDeChi rented a small wooden house at a corner of the market in the city as an interview location.
Everything is ready, just waiting for someone willing to bite the hook... No, wait, join the great cause of justice.
They waited and waited, and the old man selling snow lotus fruit across from them had already sold half a basket, yet EeDeChi and Barrett's booth had not attracted a single visitor. EeDeChi boredly sat behind the table, her head tilted, propping her chin up with one elbow.
Cheeko stepped onto a stool and jumped up onto the table, sitting obediently. EeDeChi's eyes lit up. "Since we have nothing to do, Cheeko, you can fill out the team application first."
Cheeko looked up at her, meowed, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind EeDeChi's words.
EeDeChi pulled out some parchment and a quill, quickly writing out a Team Application and spreading it on the table. Cheeko stretched their front legs forward, arched their body high, lazily stretching, then walked over to the parchment, grabbed the quill with their mouth, and soon finished filling out the Team Application.
Barrett leaned over to take a look and saw the following written on the paper:
Name: Cheeko
Race: Cat
Abilities: Eating
Hobbies: Eating crystals, glass, and other translucent things
Aspirations: Eating, Sleeping, Travel Around the World
What stood out as much as the word "eating" that filled the page was Cheeko's neat and elegant handwriting, as if carved into stone. In contrast, EeDeChi's handwriting was slanted, uneven, looking like it had been written by an earthworm crawling.
"People are worse than cats, this is so frustrating," Barrett shook his head repeatedly.
"This is cursive," EeDeChi defended herself. She scooped up Cheeko's round, plump body. "I've decided! I officially appoint you as the scribe of the Last Defender of the Way adventurer team!"
"Meow~" Cheeko happily chirped, indicating agreement.
"Here, sign your name, then leave a paw print," EeDeChi pointed to the lower right corner of the parchment.
Cheeko took the pen in their mouth, wrote their name, then dipped their little paw in the ink pot, pressing it onto the parchment, leaving behind a small, delicate paw print.
A clear, melodic female voice rang from outside the room: "Excuse me, is this the adventurer interview location? I saw your recruitment ad outside."
EeDeChi's face lit up with joy: "Come in, come in, this is the place."
But as she looked up to see the visitor's appearance, her excited expression immediately faltered.
The person entering was a young girl, dressed in shining grandmother-green armor that reached her knees. Her deep green eyes sparkled, and her long silver hair was tied into neat twin tails, giving off the air of a determined warrior.
