And so one day when I was getting used to the town of Morto and the Adventurers' Guild there.

I was looking at the request form posted at the guild first thing in the morning.

I will only accompany you on beginner level quests if you are a first timer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm afraid of intermediate level quests and above because they involve a certain amount of mortal danger, so I'm afraid of them unless I'm dealing with people who know my abilities to a certain extent.

"Albus. Have you already decided who you're going to carry today?

The one who approached me was a middle-aged solo adventurer, "Burgess, the magic swordsman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He is quite a big man, with a thick stubble beard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He was wearing well-worn equipment and had a very strong face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He has the look of an adventurer.

If you were approached on the street without knowing your acquaintance. I would run away as fast as I could, thinking that he would try to mug me for a hard bargain.

However, he is a skilled craftsman.

And he's the type of guy who doesn't get hung up on the finer details of materials.

If Burgess accepts the "[Intermediate level] Defeat of Ullefes in the Ars Forest.

It might be a good idea to let me accompany him, even if it's for free, and get a share of the monster materials, including the Ullefes as a henchman.

Not yet. Mr. Burgess..., you'll be taking on this Ullefes today..."

"Oh! Oh!

Interrupting my words, Burgess took, "[Work] Helping pick medicinal herbs in Yak Village.

Come to think of it, two months ago.

I bought a lot of medicinal herbs from a herb farmer in the village of Yak. As I recall, her name was Arcana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The daughter who was with her was a beautiful woman, I think.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If I can pick medicinal herbs while cackling with Puddin'.... I'll take the job!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess, despite his face, is extremely shy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He can't even talk to a woman without a reason.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's why he was super hungry for a request that could be the reason.

And now you're this high-strung guy. It seems that when you go in front of them, you get embarrassed, you become silent, and they get scared of you.

'No, but that girl over there is not yet an adult, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She's almost 16!　When she turns 16, she'll be an adult, and she'll be looking for someone to marry in earnest!　But it's too late to move on then!　If she becomes the concubine of some rich guy, she's done for!　The game has already begun. Somehow I'm going to..., I'm going to...?

"Ah ....... So..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And even though he's older than me, he has an unparalleled fondness for younger people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He has a particular fondness for girls around the age of adulthood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure he's been a fan of women since he was a novice adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His taste for women must have stopped since he was a novice adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His widowed mistress, Arcana, is much closer in age to us than his daughter, Pudding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If anything, Arcana must be younger than us from Burgess' point of view!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess, wake up!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And....

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No matter how much the adventurers around him admonish him, he won't listen, so they leave him alone already.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By the way, he is single and, like me, has no history of marriage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In a world of polygamy. Except for a few with power and money, men are always destined to be in surplus.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But Burgess is a good adventurer, so he should have a good amount of money in his pocket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So there is certainly no chance of him getting a young wife even now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is possible, indeed, that he may get a young wife.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By the way, I'm hoping to get a wife one of these days, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not going to be so harsh, but I'm going to keep a warm eye on her as a kindred spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wait for me, Puddin'!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess quickly peeled off the request form and headed for the reception desk.
