Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

Book 10: Chapter 3: Halt’s Proposal



Ten years had passed since I first came into this world.

I’m currently 15 years old, a human adult by this world’s standards.

In the tenth month of this year, we celebrated the birthday of Luna, who had the latest birthday among the Ernol family.

The day after the celebration, I gathered my entire family and made a proposal.

“Let’s register at the Adventurer’s Guild!”

“Adventurer?... Master, do you want to be an adventurer?”

“Yup!”

It’s a dream I have had ever since I was transmigrated into this place.

I wanted to register in a guild as an adventurer, and also rose in their ranks.

It seemed really fun.

Collecting game trophies had been my hobby even back when I was in my former world. It was pretty exciting since my titles and my ranks would rise bit by bit.

There was also the possibility of getting into fights with the senior adventurers, but that was also part of the charm.

I wanted to see the shocked faces of those adventurers who tried to trample on a newbie like me and hear them say “T-This guy is strong!?” when I flex a bit.

I also want to show off the monsters I hunted to the beautiful receptionist and hear her say “I-Impossible! This is a C-rank monster!!” — and stuff like that.

Oh dear, I got ahead with my wild ideas.

Anyway, let’s aim to be a S-rank adventurer!!

Ever since Tina showed me her guild card, I couldn’t help but want one of my own. The gold information text on the black card really looked cool.

Only those with tertiary occupations could become S-ranked adventurers, apparently, so it’s quite fortunate that I’m a sage, a tertiary occupation. Although I’m still Level 1…

Anyway, as long as I stack up all my accomplishments, I would definitely become an S-ranked adventurer!

“Halt… you don’t have to worry about money even if you don’t work as an adventurer, right?”

What a boorish thing to say, Ryuushin.

You really don’t understand a thing, huh.

“It’s not about the money, Ryuushin.”

I’m quite apologetic to the genuine adventurers who had to defeat monsters in desperation, but yeah, he’s right, I don’t have to worry about money.

Right now, a total of 18 people and one beast comprising the fourteen members of the Ernol family and Shiro, Luke and Lielle, Ryuushin and Hinata were all living in my mansion.

Tina paid for all our living expenses, but no matter how luxurious we lived, it seemed that it didn’t make a dent in her bank deposits.

In fact, it was constantly increasing.contemporary romance

That’s why I wouldn’t become an adventurer for the sake of money.

“I have dreams for when I become an adventurer.”

“...Dreams?”

What, so Luke also didn’t get it?

Can’t be helped then.

“For example, traveling to uncharted lands —”

“Halt, didn’t you already set up teleportation circles in every corner of the world these past few years, right?” (Leaffa)

“Leaffa’s right, meow.” (Merdie)

“Uncharted territories… there’s no such thing anymore, you know?” (Mai and Mei)

………..

“F-For example, searching for treasure that lay deep inside the dungeons —”

“Didn’t you just clear the most difficult dungeon of all that even generations of heroes didn’t manage to do last year!” (Youko)

“You got the sword that was blessed by Creator God-sama.” (Hakua)

“Haven’t you already completed all the dungeons aside from the Dungeon Ruins that you entrusted to me and set me as the boss? Danna-sama and Tina-sama already cleared mine, too.” (Sitri)

“Sitri, I wish you would lower the difficulty level of that place.” (Youko)

“It’s definitely impossible for us at this rate.” (Hakua)

“Fufufu, please consult Danna-sama for that matter.” (Sitri)

…….

“Y-Yeah. How about gathering super rare items and create the ultimate equipment —”

“The Yggdrasil is growing right in our backyard, isn’t it? Those branches are considered super rare, aren’t they?”

“It’s just as Luna said. If we use those branches, we can make the ultimate weapon called “Yggdrasil Wand”. This Yggdrasil loves Luna, so it wouldn’t get mad even if Luna cut off some of its branches.” (Sylph)

“Sylph-sama, will that really be alright?” (Luna)

“Of course. It will be very happy if Luna pruned it.” (Sylph)

“Besides, there are deposits of scarletite underneath this place, right? Didn’t you use that to make an armor for Elmia?” (Seira)

“Oh, yeah, that one. That one got some quite amazing properties. Something invisible is protecting the parts not covered by the armor, and no weapon or magic spell can damage it. Thanks a lot for that, Halt.” (Elmia)

“As far as this concubine knows, there’s no ultimate equipment that can surpass the armor made with scarletite…” (Kikyou)

……..

“Hunt some monsters, and the raw materials —”

“The most valuable monster… is right in front of you, Halt.” (Shiro)

“Eh, me!?” (Ryuushin)

“Shiro’s right.” (Youko)

“Ryuushin is the Kokuryuu, so compared to Hakuryuu like me and Ryuka, raw materials from him will definitely sell higher.” (Hakua)

“Yes, that’s right…Ryuushin, Halt desires your materials, you know?” (Ryuka)

“Ryuushin, I will make it painless.” (Seira)

“Miss Seira!? Wh-what’s up with that divine attribute spell!?”

“Ryuushin-sama…” (Hinata)

“Hi-Hinataaa, save me —”

“I’m so sorry. We are permitted to live here. It’s for the living expenses.” (Hinata)

Eh, no, wai — aaaaAAAAHHHHHHH!!”

Uh…Soirry, Ryuushin.

It seems Hinata has also adapted to the life of the Ernol House.

Hmmm, so what to do now…

Ah!

“Guild Card!”

“Eh?” (Everyone)

“Tina, show your guild card to everyone.”

“I understand.”

Tina showed her guild card.

“Whoa!! So this is the guild card of an S-ranked adventurer, huh!!”

“A-amazing…”

Luke and Ryuushin, who had a scale from his arm peeled off, stared at Tina’s guild card with glittering eyes.

Alright, this looks great!

“I want this.”

“If you want it, then I’ll give it to you. Here.”

“ —Eh!?”

“I’m just kidding.”

Fufufu, laughed Tina. She looks adorable grinning like that.

…Well, it’s fine.

“A-Anyway, I want to be an adventurer!!”

Argh, I’ll just force my way into this.

It’d be nice if someone approved, though…

“Got it.” (Youko)

“If Halt is going to be an adventurer, then I’ll be one, too!” (Hakua)

“I’ll also register with you, then.” (Leaffa)

“We, too.” (Mai and Mei)

“I’ll also become one, meow!” {Merdie)

“Please leave the healing to me.” (Ryuka)

“I will support everyone with all I got!” (Luna)

“Seems fun. This concubine will also register.” (Kikyou)

“Then I…will go as Halt’s familiar?” (Shiro)

“That’s alright, Shiro-sama.” (Tina)

“Elmia, let’s register, too!” (Seira)

“Y, yup. Okay.” (Elmia)

“Me too!” (Ryuushin)

“Count me in, of course.” (Luke)

“We, too” (Hinata)

“Will become adventurers~!” (Lielle)

In the end, everyone approved of it.

I tried a lot of reasons, so what made them agree — I couldn’t help but mull over it.

“Halt-sama’s will is the Ernol family’s consensus. As long as Halt-sama wants to do it, it’s fine.”

“That’s right.”

What the, I should’ve just said it from the start

“Alright, then let’s go to the Adventurer’s Guild and register right now!”

“Yeah!!!!!!” (Everyone)
