Chapter 7: One Year Later

―――One year later.
In a small town in the Barony of Reinbach, there was a boy.
His name is Samuel Reinbach.
He is the eldest son of Baron Reinbach.
However, he is treated unfairly as an “incompetent” by his family.
He is not treated as the eldest son of a noble family, and all the people living in Baron Rheinbach’s territory know that.
However, only a few people in the territory who made fun of Sam.
In fact, Sam was adored by the people.
This is because of the two wild bears in the arms of a young boy of ten years old.
Sam was in the middle of carrying the monsters, which were more than twice the size of his petite body, all by himself.
Wild bears were dangerous monsters that inhabited the forests of the Baron’s domain, attacking people and sometimes even entering the city.
It was not uncommon for several adventurers and residents of the barony to be killed every year, and it was also a monster that was designated as dangerous.
The sight of a ten-year-old boy dragging such a wild bear was bizarre.
Moreover, the wild bear had no head.
It looked as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade.
When the people saw Sam, they were not surprised, but rather smiled.
「Sam-sama! Thank you for your hard work today!」
「Sam-sama! Are you hurt?」
「That’s my boy Sam. You did a great job killing the Wild beast today. It’s a blessing.」
「Sam-sama, you’re so cool―!」
People on the street called out to Sam and waved.
Sam responded with a smile.
Then he stopped in front of the Adventurer’s Guild building.
「I’m sorry. I’d like an assessment for today, please!」
「Yes! Oh, Sam-kun, you’re amazing again today.」
The person who came out of the building was a woman in her mid-twenties.
Her name was Melia. She is a charming beauty with flaxen hair in a ponytail.
She was dressed in the Adventurer’s Guild uniform and was also the receptionist in charge of Sam.
「Hmm, just two Wild Bears?」
「Oh, there are three more in the forest, so it would be great if someone could pick them up as usual.」
「Leave it to me. I’ll send someone who’s not busy right away.」
Sam bowed to Melia, who winked at him.
「Thank you for everything.」
「What are you talking about? I should be the one to thank you. The Wild Bear can only be defeated by a team of D-rank adventurers or E-rank adventurers who are willing to die for it. That’s why it’s so hard to find people to take them down, but Sam-kun kills several by himself every day, so the town is safe.」
「I do what I do because I like it.」
「Geez, don’t say that. To be honest, I was surprised when Sam-kun came to register as an adventurer with his maid, and I was against it, but now I’m glad that I gave in to your enthusiasm.」
「Hahaha, I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you then.」
Sam remembered what had happened about a year ago.
He had reported to Daphne and Derrick that he had acquired the magic to enhance his body and had defeated a wild bear.
They were surprised and very angry.
Aside from the fact that he’s practicing magic, they are also angry with Sam for not running away when he encountered the monster.
After lecturing Sam for a while, they both hugged him tightly, shed tears, and were happy that he was safe.
At the same time, they were pleased to see that the nine-year-old had the skills of an adult adventurer.
After some discussion, Sam said that he wanted to be an adventurer.
Of course, the two of them disagreed.
They have not opposed Sam becoming an adventurer someday, but they think it’s not too late to at least become an adult first.
Daphne, who was worried about Sam’s safety, especially disagreed.
After much discussion, Sam promised to show them what he could do, and killed the Wild Bear in front of them.
As a result, he reluctantly agreed to become an adventurer.
Since then, Daphne has been overprotective of Sam as he goes about his business.
This tickled Sam, but it also made him happy.
