Okay, dear readers, I apologize in advance and I would like to inform you that...

I SUCK AT EXPLAINING THINGS.
(♡˙︶˙♡) Sorry.

1 hour has passed and Grandma Finally calmed down.

I'm currently sitting on a chair, Grandpa sitting on an identical chair in front of me while Grandma is behind me wrapping my head with bandages.

"But still, to face a group of goblins by yourself, You really are my Grandson haha haha!" Grandpa laughed, amazed.

"Grandpa, this isn't a thing that you should laugh with, Keita almost died! Do you want him to die early like those adventurers and soldiers!"
Grandma exclaimed.

Grandpa, surprised by the angry Grandma.

" ah, erm. Ehem! Keita Grandma is right you shouldn't fight a monster by yourself, especially a group of them. When you see a group of them again run away as fast as you can okay?" Grandpa corrected with a gentle voice.

Grandma nodded in agreement.

I nodded my head too for understanding.

But a question suddenly pops out of my head.

"What's an adventurer?" I asked both of them.

I have heard of soldiers since Grandpa is a former soldier but adventurer is new to me and I don't have a single clue of what is it.

"Oh, curious?"

"Yes!"

Grandpa looked upwards to think.

"Let's see in what I understand, adventurers are people who's ready to risk their lives. Like subjugating monsters, clearing a labyrinth, treasure hunting, serve for the country and other things." Grandpa started.

"They can be of any race humans, elves, dwarves, demi-humans.
They accept any class starting from a noble, commoner and slave.
Anyone can join I think... Hmm, that's all I remember." Grandpa finished explaining.

I see so adventurer or adventuring is basically just a job, the end

"What, do you want to be an adventurer, Keita? Heh, you still need to eat a lot of rice to be one which means you need a lot of training! I'll train you even harder so you can kill a group of goblins, hell, even a horde will be a peace of ca-ouch!!"

Before Grandpa can finish his words.
He was stopped by a pan meeting his head.

"I told you already stop teaching Keita things that may kill him!" said Grandma while hitting Grandpa's head repeatedly.

"OUCH-OUCH! I'm sorry, and where the heck did that pan came from!?"

"Questions are prohibited. Since Keita risks his life for hunting a wild boar, we'll going to have a feast tonight!!"

Scratching his head, Grandpa helped Grandma to dismantle and prepare the meat.

I see, so it's roast boar tonight, this is good!

After happily eating the meal with my Grandparents, The exhaustion of today's event hit me to the point that I nearly past out, luckily I endured it.

I was heading to my room when I noticed a man standing beside the table.

"???"

"..."

I stared at him and he stared back at me.

Who is he again?

Man, age 15-19, black hair, black robe... Ahh!!

"Ahh! I remember now!!!"
