In just one night, Kaede's reputation had spread throughout Orario.
Of course, what people were passing around wasn't Kaede's name, but...
"Have you heard? That person who looks exactly like the Sword Princess."
"Two Sword Princesses."
"The Sword Princess's older sister, younger sister..."
So, it wasn't Kaede's name that had spread throughout Orario, but rather Kaede who had spread through Orario using the Sword Princess's reputation.
And it only took one night, which also showed one thing from the side: Adventurers are idle, and those gods who were as idle as could be were most interested in such gossip.
Eina was a low-level staff member at the Guild. She had a young Adventurer who looked like a rabbit under her care; she was his advisor.
As an advisor, all she really needed to do was provide some necessary advice to Adventurers, telling them about the monsters on each floor and their data.
However, looking at the young boy's figure, Eina always felt like she was looking at a younger brother, so she unconsciously began to care for him.
At the same time, she also knew who the boy admired: Aiz Wallenstein Wallenstein. After Eina found out, she just laughed dumbfoundedly.
The gap between them was truly too large. No matter how hard the boy tried, he wouldn't be able to reach her, right? But this should also serve as his motivation, right?
Eina thought to herself as she stood there, waiting for an Adventurer.
The documents showed that this one was a new Adventurer from the Loki Familia, and she would act as her advisor.
"I hope the person who comes isn't someone too rude," Eina thought with a sigh. As a half-elf, she really couldn't accept those burly, rough Adventurers, which was why she looked at that young boy differently.
Then Eina saw a person wearing a cloak walking towards her. In such a public place, Eina naturally wouldn't be startled.
"Are you... my advisor?"
"Are you Kaede from the Loki Familia?" Eina didn't answer, speaking gently instead.
"Yes." Kaede nodded. "I heard that an ordinary Adventurer needs an advisor, and then explores the Dungeon under the advisor's guidance?"
"Guidance is a bit much; it's more like advice." Listening to Kaede's voice, Eina felt relieved. It was a girl, not one of those burly, rough Adventurers.
"Mm, where is the Dungeon?" Kaede asked directly.
"Over there..." Eina said subconsciously, and then she saw Kaede turn and walk in the direction she had pointed. Only then did she react.
What was she trying to do? She didn't know anything, and she wanted to go to the Dungeon before she had even said anything?
"Wait a moment," Eina called out.
"Hm?" Kaede stopped and looked at Eina, looking a bit confused.
"You haven't heard my advice yet, have you?" Eina said with a wry smile.
"Oh." Kaede knew, but she felt she didn't need it, so she hadn't planned on listening. However, since she had brought it up, she would listen for now.
The wry smile on Eina's face deepened. Why did she feel like she had ended up with an Adventurer with a not-so-good personality?
However, even though she thought that, she still earnestly fulfilled her duties.
"You just became an Adventurer. Not to mention your low stats, you probably don't have any experience fighting monsters either. So, for your first time entering the Dungeon, it's best to just train your skills on the first floor and get familiar with how to fight monsters," Eina said.
"Mm." Kaede nodded. She also sensed that Eina was serious and that what she said was very responsible. Although it was useless to her, she shouldn't continue with that attitude.
Seeming to sense the change in Kaede's attitude, Eina's voice softened slightly, and she then introduced the monsters on the first floor of the Dungeon and the requirements for increasing stats to Kaede.
After some time, Eina finally finished speaking.
"I understand." Kaede nodded, looked at Eina, and then pulled down her cloak slightly, revealing her face only to Eina.
Looking at Eina's stunned face, the corners of Kaede's mouth curled up slightly.
"This is what I look like. Don't mistake me for someone else in the future. See you~" After saying that, Kaede tidied her cloak again and walked towards the Dungeon.
"Sword Princess?" Eina said blankly, then shook her head. No, Aiz Wallenstein's eyes were golden, and it couldn't be a novice Adventurer.
Then Eina remembered the gossip that had swept through Orario overnight.
"I didn't expect the protagonist of the story to be the Adventurer I'm in charge of." Eina muttered to herself. She finally understood why Kaede wore a cloak; if she didn't, she would definitely be surrounded and unable to walk, right!
"But to think someone from the Loki Familia would come to find an advisor." Eina didn't really understand. A major Familia like Loki's had its own system; they shouldn't need to find advisors like ordinary Adventurers.
"Mm." Eina suddenly blushed. Did that mean everything she said was just nagging? But Kaede had still listened earnestly. Mm, it seemed she had misunderstood her; she was actually a pretty good Adventurer~
