Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Sarah was staring at me intently, her face flushed and her eyes were a little vague.

Are you drunk?

Come to think of it, she is only fifteen years old.

Children should drink less alcohol.

but……

Let’s just forget it now.

If you keep talking a lot and preaching, people will think you are an old man.

all in all……

"Cheers to [Counter Arrow] gaining a foothold in this city!"

"cheers!"

……

I drank a lot of wine that day.

As a solo adventurer, it is really inappropriate to get yourself drunk all of a sudden.

In Orsted's words, it was a lack of vigilance.

However, neither the people from [Counter Arrow] nor Rudeus will abandon me.

So I just drank it freely.

As we drank, even the lifeless Rudius came over to clink glasses with me and said some words of thanks.

What exactly is the content...

My mind was in a mess, so I couldn't hear clearly.

However, I was also very relieved to see Rudeus cheer up a little.

Although I can't help him much with my current abilities, I can feel a little relieved when I see him getting out of the shadow left by Alice.

A happy ending for all...

I sincerely hope so.

……

As a result, I got drunk that day.

In the end, I couldn't even get back to the hotel by myself. I had to ask Rudeus, who was worried about me and kept me until the end, to use antidote magic to save me from the pain of drunkenness.

Magic is really useful.

I couldn't help but think so.

If there were healing magic, even damaged internal organs could be healed, and a broken arm could be reattached.

If there were magic to detoxify, even something like drunkenness could be easily resolved.

Fire magic can start fires and keep people warm, water magic can bring rain and create drinkable water, earth magic and wind magic also have their own uses, and there's also barrier magic, divine strike magic, and transfer magic...

All kinds of magic have incredible power.

By comparison.

A swordsman can only fight by swinging his sword.

Outside of combat, swordsmanship is completely useless.

However, since I don't have any magic power, even just swinging my sword requires me to put in more effort than others. In simple terms, it's twice the effort for half the result...

Is there any need for me to work hard now?

The answer is yes.

After seeing this happy scene today, I understood the meaning of becoming stronger, which is to be able to better help the people around me.

We cannot stand idly by while people are in trouble.

This is what motivates me to become stronger.

……

Three months passed since then.

During these three months, I continued to act as a lone adventurer.

Giant bears, giant wolves, and demonic trees that grew too large due to negligence.

Monsters like this are my targets.

For three months, I basically only accepted commissions to subdue powerful individual monsters, and I was able to complete them successfully every time.

In battles like this again and again.

I can feel that my strength is improving little by little.

Well, there is still some distance to go before reaching Saint level.

On the other hand, there is more to growth than just strength.

Because each commission I completed was quite difficult, my reputation began to spread slightly around Rosenberg. Of course, under my control, the nickname "Gut Ripper" never appeared again.

As for the adventurer level...

Still Class B.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, it’s only been less than a year since I officially started being an adventurer.

This progress is already amazing.

Once I get promoted to A-level, I’ll report my recent achievements to Qixing, and then show off in front of her.

……

In addition to doing commissions, I also started to get involved in another kind of business.

It is the production and sale of magic scrolls.

Before leaving, I learned how to make scrolls up to the advanced level of healing magic. As I made them more and more times, my yield rate also began to increase significantly, and I could almost sell them for money.

So when I wasn't working on commissions, I would sell these scrolls on the street.

Strictly speaking, selling this kind of scroll requires a license issued by the Magicians' Guild.

But this is an area where adventurers are active after all.

I only sell to adventurers.

In addition, I did not deliberately lower the price to disrupt the market balance, so the Magicians' Guild turned a blind eye.

Today is the same as usual.

I came to my own stall in the commercial district, placed the healing magic scrolls I had prepared in advance on the stall, and waited for customers to come to me.

In fact, this business is quite good.

Thanks to this business, my savings have grown rapidly.

Add to that the magic crystals I got from Orsted earlier, just in case, and I feel like I can live quite comfortably for the next ten years even if I don't become an adventurer.

Of course, it is not good to live off the savings.

You still have to work hard to make money...

Think so.

I suddenly noticed two familiar figures approaching.

A boy with brown hair, and a girl with short blond hair.

It's Rudeus and Sarah.

The two of them walked side by side on the streets of the commercial district, seemingly strolling leisurely, chatting from time to time and smiling at each other.

"..."

See this scene.

I couldn't help but murmur.

The relationship between the two people has become so good.

Could it be that I have missed the key plot when I didn't notice it?

Adventurer: 32, Two People on a Date

Looking at Rudeus and Sarah who were shopping side by side.

I calculated the time silently in my mind.

Some time ago, I accepted a security commission and didn't show up in the guild for several days.

That is to say...

Maybe I've missed the plot?

If that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it.
