---------------------------------------------0--------------------------------------------------

After I finished exchanging magic stones with Valis, I decided to go to the Kami-sama's stall and took her to a celebration.

But the moment I exited the guild building, I heard the system's voice in my head.

<Quest {Get a girl} generated.>

<Host, you can see the quest in the quest tab, but let me give you a brief explanation.>

<Since all of the quests are always related to your desires and fate, this quest is also related to that. There will be these types of quests, too, in the future. But the rewards for those quests won't be combat related since the quests themselves are not.>

Iris said while explaining what those quests are about.

It looks like these types of quests are story related, and I won't refuse either.

Although my other self was a loner, that doesn't mean I don't feel anything or I don't have any interest in the opposite gender. It is just that I have never had the opportunity to get close to someone.

But it looks like this will change soon, or rather this might change soon.

<Host, the quest is just as simple as shown in the name. You need to get a girlfriend in order to complete this quest. As a reward, you will learn the skill [Dexterous Hands], which is quite a good skill in daily life and other things cough, cough. And in the future, you may receive this type of quest more.>

She said and explained to me.

From the looks of it, this skill [Dexterous Hands] can be used for daily life, and it won't be only a combat-related skill, which is good.

And for the girlfriend part, it is meant to happen eventually.

Although I am planning to become strongest for the sake of myself, that doesn't mean I can't or shouldn't enjoy other things.

After I became the strongest, if I will still be alone on the top, what is the good thing about it?

Well, I won't deny that it is good to be the best, but then my life will be boring after I achieve it.

Anyway, I will try to get a girlfriend, but I don't have anyone that close to me right now, so it should wait for a bit since I am not some sort of pick-up god.

With that in my mind, I started walking all around Adventurers Street to find Kami-sama, but I couldn't find her anywhere.

Where is she selling all those Jagamarkuns?

I wanted to taste them too, and I didn't want my goddess to work at a place like this.

Don't be mistaken, and I am not trying to degrade people who work like that. It is just that she is my goddess, and I want her to be proud of her family and lift her face with pride.

But, seeing her selling Jagamarkuns just for the sake of money makes me feel like I am lacking, although I am not.

Well, anyway, it is not that important right now.

She said something about Northern Main Street before, so I presume she is working in there.

With that, I decided to look for her in Northern Main Street and headed there.

Since Orario has a circular structure, although it is a bit cramped, it is not that hard to navigate through this city.

After walking for a bit, I reached Northern Main Street, and there I saw an empty stall.

Although I don't know if this stall is Hestia's or not, in case I should ask someone close.

But before I could even ask someone, I heard a voice of a group of girls.

"Ais-san, what kind of clothes do you want to buy?"

"Yes, Ais. We should hang out more, you know. You somehow always want to go to the dungeon. It is pretty boring, you know? Always going to the dungeon."

"Ahh, should I buy something for captain? He would be happy to get a gift from me, right?"

The moment I turned my back, I saw a group of girls.

But all of those faces were familiar to me, some from anime and one from the real world too.

Yes, they are Loki Familia people.

I think I heard their manor is located on the northern side of the city, so they are probably coming from there.

What was their home's name?

Twilight Manor?

Well, it is not that important right now. The important thing is that Ais-san is looking at me with a weird gaze.

Although I don't know how she looks at someone in general, I don't think this is the ordinary look people give each other.

It feels like she wants to say something, but at the same time, she doesn't want to.

Normally speaking, in the anime, Ais was a bit of an airheaded person. Although I don't have any preference for something like this, I thought she was pretty cute at that time.

But seeing her right now with her friends, it must be hard for Loki Familia executives since even though she is level 5 and close to leveling up and is one of the strongest adventurers in Orario, she doesn't look like someone who can be responsible for others at all.

It is like she is strong and she can fight, but she needs someone who controls her like she is a game character you designed, and you need to give your character a command to execute in order for it to operate.

This is my opinion, and I think her airheaded personality won't change any time soon.

Well, it is what it is.

There is no reason for me to fret over it.

However, seeing Ais looking at me with that strange gaze, the other girls in the group also started looking at me, and I must say the gaze of the elf girl near Ais was also a bit weird.

It is like I did something to her since she is looking at me with an angry kitten-like expression.

Although I think I saw her in the anime, I don't remember her name at all.

She must be that magician girl Riveria teaches but aside from that, I don't have any knowledge about her.

Although I know the other two girls from the anime, I am not that familiar with them since Bell was not interested in them too much.

They are both amazons, and it is pretty obvious from the clothes they are wearing and their skin tone.

Although there are some other people with tanned skin, most time, when people see a tanned skin person, they tend to assume that person is an amazon.

Since the silence was getting pretty uncomfortable for me, I decided to initiate the conversation. You know, being stared at by four strong adventurers is a bit taxing mentally.

"Hello, miss Savi-"

The moment I opened my mouth to greet Ais, I got interrupted by the elf near Ais.

"Who are you? What did you do to Ais-san?"

She said with a questioning tone.

I don't like this girl's attitude. Who does she think she is?

"Sorry, but who are you?"

I said with a slightly irritated tone.

"I am Lefiya Viridis, a member of Loki Familia. Who are you then?"

This girl, just what is with her?

"I am Wayne Jervain, just a newbie adventurer. Wait, did you just say Loki Familia and Ais?"

I decided to act ignorant since it would be better for my first impression of the situation.

The moment I said that all of them nodded their heads.

It looks like they are proud of their famila since they all have proud expressions on their faces, aside from Ais.

"I see, so I was saved by Sword Princess at that time, huh? Here I thought, all adventurers were that strong. But it looks like I got saved by one of the strongest adventurers out there."

I said while nodding my head. Not because I understood something, no, it was because I am proud of my acting, although it was nothing much.

"So you are that boy Ais talked about. Were you the one who massacred all those over 30 monsters by yourself? And you also said you are a newbie adventurer. When did you start being an adventurer?"

The amazoness girl, well, with the flat chest, said while coming closer to me suddenly.

I got startled since she was a bit fast, too fast for me to follow her movements with my eyes alone.

The moment she came close to me and started looking into my eyes from a very close distance.

"Well, before I answer, can you please leave me some space first?"

I said with a slightly uncomfortable tone.

"Hey, Tiona leaves some space for him; you know you are clearly bothering him right now."

The other girl, Tione, said to her sister, and she gave me the space by backing up a bit.

"But, but, I am really curious. You know, it is an achievement itself for killing that many monsters alone."

I see, so this girl is really curious about me.

Well, it is not like I hate her or something, and they can all learn about me just by asking someone.

"Well, I just became an adventurer two days ago."

"WHAAAAT!"

The moment I said that there was a loud shout coming from the elf girl…
