“There are ranks up to S+, and if you reach B rank or higher, you’re considered a top-rank adventurer. Tauro-kun, please aim for the top rank.”

After that, the rules of the Adventurer’s Guild were explained.

The basic ones were all over the place.

The point of interest was that if you committed a crime, it would be recorded in your tag.

In other words, if you commit a crime, you will be expelled from the guild at once and of course, you will be turned in to the guards, no matter how big or small the crime.

Fortunately, Tauro’s theft was not recorded because it ended in an attempt.

“There are a lot of rough adventurers, but most of them follow the rules and complete their quests, so don’t worry.”

As Tauro looked around at the adventurers in the facility, they all looked healthy and strong. He was impressed.

“I’d like to do a quest right away, but…”

(I just want to earn some money and get some food.)

“Well calm down, It’s already noon, so let’s eat. I’ll buy you a drink to celebrate you becoming an adventurer.”

“Are you sure?”

Tauro hadn’t eaten in a few days, so he had no intention of refusing this kind offer.

Nei warned me to start slowly with soup.

I soaked the bread in the soup to soften it before eating it.

“Tauro-kun, I’ve been thinking, did you come from a good background? You’re polite, you have good manners, you eat well… Oh, you don’t have to answer me if you can’t, okay?”

He was only eight years old, orphaned, skinny and ragged, but in contrast, he was polite. 

“No, my Dad is just a poor farmer. My mother died soon after I was born, and at the age of six I was about to be abandoned in the Forest of Misfortune because I was deemed useless, so I ran away.”

“So you’re saying you’re a runaway?”

“That’s right. I was beaten and kicked on a regular basis, so I have no regrets.”

This is a fact.

Before he regained the memories of his previous life, Tauro was in a miserable situation.

He ran away from home when he was only six years old because he knew he would die if he was abandoned in the evil forest.

The only thing he could think of was the existence of the city of Saishi, which he had heard about from the adults in the village.

Even though it was relatively close to the village, it was still a few days’ walk away, which was a big adventure for a six-year old.

He kept walking during the day, trying to resist the urge to cry out in anxiety and at night he hid his breath quietly while being frightened by the noise and waited for dawn.

After sleeping a little until noon, he continued his journey again.

After a few days of walking, he arrived at the city of Saïshi.

However, the town of Saïshi was not kind to the weak.

There were many children in the same situation as him. Scavenging for leftover food was even a territorial competition.

It was a tough world for a newcomer, a stranger, and a child of only six years old.

For the past two years, Tauro had been living on the edge.

It was truly a blessing that he was able to regain his memories of his previous life, albeit by accident.

It’s hard for a child without a good education to make a breakthrough in this life.

He would not have dared to go to the adventurer’s guild.

It was his desire for survival that somehow kept him alive.

And thanks to this meal, he could live for a few more days.

Tauro Satou’s eyes were not dead yet.

After returning to the guild, Tauro immediately took on a quest.

There were not many quests left in the afternoon.

So he chose one of the so-called “errand quests” that are given to beginners and adventurers who break the rules.

If he could get paid for it, he was all for it, even if it’s dirty and hard.

He might even be able to eat at night now.

The only thing he was worried about was where he would sleep tonight.

It was obvious that even if he made money, if the elder vagrants targeted him, they would take all the money.

First of all, he had to eat a lot to get his body back and become stronger.

The Adventurer’s Guild also offers training, and he heard that they have a full-time martial arts instructor who can teach them.

They say it’s part of their efforts to increase the survival rate of adventurers.

He had to participate in this!

He needs strength to protect himself.

“Nei-san, the ditch-cleaning quest is over.”

Tauro appeared at the reception desk.

“You’re dirty kid. Go round back, go round back!”

One of the adventurers said with a frown.

Then Nei said

“Tauro, there’s a well in the back, so go take a bath. There is also a change of clothes, it may be big but I’ll put them out so you can wear them.” 

“Okay. Thank you very much.”

He thanked her and quickly ran to the back.

There was a man at the well in the back.

The man who had preceded me smelled bad, as if he had been covered in sludge.

He smelled just as bad as Tauro.

“Boy, you stink!”

Garh!

No, you stink too!

Tauro felt disgusted and sick to his stomach.
