Exploration (3)

- "Speaking about the monsters of this world... here you have things like goblins, dragons, slimes ?"

She made a very surprised expression.

-"Hey, how did you know about all this? How scary!

Um, so there are those kinds of beings in this world, that's quite interesting...

-"I know this is going to sound a little too nosy, but I have to ask... You're not a human are you ?!"

-"Um... You're quite perceptive aren't you ?! Yes I'm not a human, but let's play a game! What do you think is my race?"

For many a very difficult question, but for me, who has watched many anime and played many games, this is easy.

- "Are you an elf ? Aren't you ?!"

- "Wow, you are really scary... but you are "half" wrong, I am a half elf. In case my father was an elf and my mother a human."

- "So there are half humans here ? I didn't know that different races could get along so well."

- "Again, you are only 'half' right. In this world, there are many different races, in this case the elven race, get along very well with the human race, but there are many races that are destroyed in this world and you will meet them sooner or later."

A world with powers, full of different races, full of different monsters, mazes , dungeons , rare crystals.... I feel like I'm dreaming...

- "Each race has its peculiarity different from each other, giving an example, elves usually do well with healing, support and with nature."

- "You really are lucky, aren't you? You were born into a race that does well with healing and have an Elemental Healing Crystal."

- "Hehehehe..."

The subject was interesting, but I had to get a few more things out of her.

-"You said I can get good items from monsters, right? How can I sell these items to get money?"

-"Oh, you reminded me of something important. After you've trained a bit, I advise you to go to the city of Ur to register as a hero in a guild."

- "You had already told me about these guilds, now about this hero registration... what is it ?"

-"The hero registration is a document that professionalizes you as a hero, once you are documented in a city, you can see your stats like level, your name, who is on your team, and much more. Also, you will know about the items you have on hand and the items you will get from monsters."

- "Is this a game?"

Normally this girl has a more relaxed and playful face, but as soon as she said this her face changed completely.

-Although I don't know exactly what a game is, I have heard reports of people from another world saying the same thing when they come to this world, they start deliberately killing beings, races, and treating everyone as if they were a 'thing'. Although it may seem or remind you of a joke or something from your world, remember: this is not a game here. When you kill someone, even if it is a monster you are really taking a life. And even if it's you, if you become like one of those people, I'm not going to have any mercy on you, remember that well."

The mood that was light changed completely, from the tone of her voice it was obvious that she was quite serious.

- "Well... I know you are a nice person, so I know you won't give any problems, besides, there is no problem killing monsters, or animals of this world if you need food or items, just have limits."

- "Right..."

With that conversation, I didn't even realize that we were already leaving the forest. As I came out, I saw large green fields full of grass and animals living everywhere. I have never been in a building with a million-dollar view, but I know that none of these buildings can compare to the view I am getting... and for free...

-It's beautiful isn't it... I want to be strong so that one day I can protect this world, these beings... hehe, maybe because I am half elf, my love for nature is a little greater than that of humans. But I would like that one day all beings and animals of this world could live in unity. Is that too much to ask? Perhaps..."

I think this is the wish of most humans, but the hatred of another race, of what is different, will always exist. So, maybe it's a selfish wish, but it's also a noble wish.

-"Well, this is where we part ways. I have to go home urgently, if you wanted to, you could come with me. Surely, my staff would be happy to help you."

- "I appreciate that, but... I'd really like to manage on my own from now on, but thank you very much for everything."

- "I totally understand, well... before I leave I'd like to know my name... oops! It's not polite, without introducing myself first... my name is Sheele Mayumi, I'm an aspiring hero !"

- "My name is Satoru Iori."

- "Iori-kun is not... pleasure Iori, I wanted to teach you more things but I really have an important event."

- "I understand, but I'm curious... what event would that be?"

-"A hero was summoned in my village, so I need to go back, to meet him. I've wanted to be a hero for a long time, but without two others it's impossible, I wanted to get my companions alone, but the people in my village gathered too much power inside the summoning crystal to summon a hero from another world."

That sounds familiar...

- "Well, visit Yve's village sometime, I'm sure you will be welcomed there."

-"..."

Hahaha, I sure will...

- "Well, goodbye Iori-kun ! Stay strong!"

- "Eh, bye !"

-"Oh, yeah... take this."

She pulled a strange piece of paper from her skirt and gave it to me.

-"This is..."

-"A map, of some cities in the regions. Near here is a good place for beginners to train, and some towns that you can look at, well here is the town of Ur you see, and here in this forest is where we are. So if I were to advise you I would go to Ur City after training a little bit along the way, to get the hero registration."

- "Okay, thank you very much."

Then she said goodbye and went back into the forest.

I didn't really connect the dots, she was going when she found me in the direction of Yve's village...

Well, I don't have time to think about it, I have to go train as soon as possible.
