One day at a time, I struggled to survive.

　As early as half a year into my service to the Adventurer's Guild, I finally managed to leave the Adventurer's Guild and shop for new underwear and clothes myself.

''I wonder. It's so natural, but I'm so happy.
Thank you.
　For some reason, the shopkeeper who saw me off saying so looked at me pityingly, but I returned to the Adventurer's Guild with a hokey face and went straight to the privatized napping room.
　It bothered me that for some reason the adventurers were looking at me with pity and the guild staff were looking at me with warm eyes before I returned to my room, but I decided not to worry about it since I hadn't shopped in a long time and I was getting excited.

　In front of the nap room, the adventurers who had healed and become familiar faces approached us.
''That something? Is it a cure?
I'll be there for you if you need anything.
　THE warrior approached me.
'If there's anything you want, just let me know.
　A female adventurer gave me a kind look like she was looking at her brother.

　...Is that one? I didn't go shopping for six months, so I was a pity kid who couldn't even shop... or was it certified as such?
　I went into the nap room while thinking about this.
''The fact that this nap room has already been privatized means that they think I have no common sense and can't live on my own except in battle and heels?

　Each day the proficiency level increases a little bit, and the proficiency level in this world never degenerates.
　No, I think that's right, probably because my proficiency level has never been lowered before.
　Not once or twice have I thought about the idea of being able to assess proficiency on Earth as well.
'Well, even if I could have used the proficiency appraisal when I was on Earth, my previous life would not have been dramatically different.
　I muttered something like that as I took a drink of Object X and moved to the training ground.

''Good. Your physical skill level is now at III.
　Yes. I've finally reached level III in my body skill. This is the standard for an adventurer's F-rank, and it's said to be a technical skill that can win even if you fight multiple goblins. In this world, if he attended the dojo diligently for a year, he could obtain the skill even if he hadn't been selected for a profession. It's a level that could be mastered as early as adulthood. However, it is a level that is generally considered to have the skills of a fledgling adventurer. However, there is a huge difference between the vanguard profession and the rear-guard healers in status, and since their status is difficult to grow, they will lose quite a bit if they fight. This can't be helped. That's what I tell myself.

''This is also thanks to Instructor Brod.
'Don't flatter me. Kid, no, because Luciel worked hard to reach his goal.
Thank you, sir.
Hmm. It's just that from now on, it's going to be harder and harder to raise the skill level.
　I nodded.
'Luciel came to the Adventurer's Guild to survive, didn't he?
Yes, sir.
Hmm. Starting today, we'll be adding gait training.
What the hell is that?
It's the art of muffling footsteps, walking in a gliding motion, or walking in a low position without getting tired.
I understand.
If you can do these things, you may not express the skills, but you will develop your lower body core.
Yes, sir.
　Thus began the training for the art of walking.

'I can hear your footsteps, you're just sliding along, your posture is high. You'll be rushed into a wild boar like that.
　In that minicar? Absolutely not. I immersed myself in training.

　Wake up, magic training, breakfast and ingesting object X, throwing training, simulated bodily arts combat, lunch and ingesting object X, throwing training, bodily arts training, dinner and ingesting object X, magic training.

　To be exact, the adventurers are heeled at least ten times a day, or more than fifty times a day if they are badly injured or in large numbers.
　Thinking about where to devote the training time for the walking technique, I put in an hour each in the morning and night for voluntary training in the walking technique.

　For some reason, the instructor began to spend more time on walking than on combat training.
'Isn't there an unusually large amount of training in walking techniques these days?'
　I asked him in doubt.
"Because walking is what Luciel needs most right now. You got that? Okay, let's get started.
　There was no reason or explanation given for this.

　Perhaps they would think he was at an age where he wanted to test his strength because of his increased physical technique level.
　Normally, that would be understandable. However, I'm not a child or barbaric enough to dream of such a dream.
　Well, I'd like to promote my guild rank at all costs, but at the very least, I won't do it when I'm not satisfied with myself.
　Thus, a year has passed in the blink of an eye since I came to the city of Meratni, where there is no romance and an extremely narrow range of action and no movement, and I've almost forgotten the name of this city.

"You've put in almost all the time and effort over the past year and this is the result... I don't have an indicator, so I don't even know if it's great.

'What are you mumbling to yourself about?'

'Oh, good morning, Instructor Brod. No, it's been a year since I came to this city today, and I don't really feel like I'm growing.

Don't worry. You're growing up.

'Really? I still can't see Brod-san's attacks sometimes, and our attacks don't hit him properly, and his magic is only heels and cures.

''Well, a difference in combat experience and status exists between you and me. If Luciel's attack comes in properly, there's enough of a difference to make me fall asleep in shock.

Yeah.
　Even in a game, if you fight a mid-level demon at level 1, you'll die before you can do any damage.

''d*mn it, show some gumption.
　He slapped me on the back with a bang.

It's painful. Well, it's only been a year, but I think I've faced myself properly and completed my training. Thank you, Instructor Brod. Now, even if you encounter a demon, you'll be able to escape.

'No, I think we can beat that part. Yes. But I don't know how you didn't get away with it for a year.

'A lot of times I wanted to run away. But I decided it was what I needed to do to survive.
　And there was no way out.
"Hey, Luciel. Why don't you just get a job with the Adventurer's Guild?

'No~ I'm pretty snobbish with this, so I want money and I want to learn new magic, just a little bit at a time.

Well, I suppose that's normal.

''Last year, the offerings to the Healer's Guild were also paid by Instructor Brod rather than the Adventurer's Guild, and if you don't save up the money, it will come slowly later.

I see. But you should think about becoming a guild employee, too.

'Yes. Well, I'll be based in this city and I'll be back to train. Oh, and if you need a healer, just ask for one. I'll take care of it at a reasonable price.


　I thus exchanged a stiff handshake with Instructor Brod and greeted everyone who had taken care of me, and he sent me off with a smile.
　This was the end of my time in the Adventurers' Guild.
　As I left the Adventurer's Guild, I looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, it's another fine day. It's another fine day," I said, and then started walking towards the Healers' Guild.

　I had no way of knowing that I would be returning to the Adventurer's Guild soon.
