Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

It was about her two best friends and the lovely little boy they had. She could only cry at the sudden and sad parting.

(This is so strange. Why did I suddenly remember this?)

Leonora forced herself to shake the image from her mind and began to discuss the next plan with Malgili.

In the near future, these memories will be closely related to the fate of Xu Zhen and others, and she will learn about these things from her son, becoming a mother who regrets not being able to participate in them, while her husband shows a helpless attitude towards this——

But right now, no one knows all of this.

----------------------

Deep inside the Adventurer's Guild is the Guild Master's office. The interior is spacious enough to accommodate several people and is very clean. There are several very large and delicate magic devices placed in the room, which is also a notable feature.

Alicia was there, discussing the escort mission with Guild Master Wesley.

"I have received a notification from King Santono. I am glad to have your safe return."

"Ahahaha... Thank you, Guild Master."

Under Wesley's consolation, Alicia nodded repeatedly with a wry smile. After completing the escort mission, Alicia was almost stunned. She thought she might be blamed for coming back late and encountering troubles along the way.

Just as Alicia was touched by the unexpected arrangements, Wesley started the next topic: "So, although your escort mission has ended...what are you going to do next?"

"You mean that?"

"It will take a few days before Russell and the others return. During this time, you will be alone..."

"Yeah, maybe I can take on some small tasks...ah!"

The image of the young man who came to the capital of Sforia with her suddenly appeared in Alicia's mind.

(In that case, why not stay with Xu Zhen and the others for a while? It seems like we can accompany them on some missions...)

With this exciting thought, Alicia raised her head excitedly: "I have some friends who came with me, and I plan to do some tasks with them."

"Really? Well, that's a pleasure, too."

Wesley nodded after hearing what Alicia said. Then, Alicia left the office and returned to the guild hall again.

Just as she was looking around and thinking that Xu Zhen and the others seemed to be away, the door of the guild was opened. The main people she was looking for walked in with a girl of the same age, and they seemed to be on good terms.

(What is that?)

For some reason, Alicia felt uneasy in her heart, and the expression on her face quickly disappeared. At this time, Xu Zhen noticed Alicia's presence, waved and smiled to greet her.

“Isn’t this Alicia? Is the report over?”

“…Yeah. It’s been done very thoroughly. By the way, that cute child is…” Alicia emphasized the word “cute” with a bit of sarcasm, while Xu Zhen remained calm, as if he realized something.

“By the way, Alicia, is this your first time meeting Courtney?”

"Indeed...it seems like we have been missing each other all the time."

Hearing Xu Zhen's words, Lati seemed to understand something and nodded. At the same time, Alicia seemed a little surprised as she listened to the conversation between the two.

Whether unintentionally or not, her eyes moved back and forth between Xu Zhen and Courtney at a very fast speed.

"Um, that... Courtney, was she with Xu Zhen and the others before..."

“Yes, we just reunited here.”

“We’re going on another adventure together!”

Facing Alicia's question, Xu Zhen and Lati answered. However, the answer that Alicia wanted to hear most was not given there.

“…Isn’t it a boy?”

"Yes, I am a proper boy... don't I look like one?"

“Oh, no, that, this…”

Courtney, who was used to such questions, just smiled bitterly. Alicia seemed even more confused by the direct answer. At this moment, Courtney stepped forward and bowed to Alicia: "Are you Miss Alicia? Nice to meet you. My name is Courtney."

"This is also the case. Nice to meet you."

"I am very sorry that I gave you a surprise when we first met."

"No, no, it's not your fault! I was just surprised!"

Alicia seemed a little flustered by Courtney's calm and humble attitude, and just kept nodding. Xu Zhen seemed to find this situation interesting, so he asked the question that Alicia had been concerned about.

"By the way, Russell and the others haven't come back yet?"

"Ah, yes. Actually, it's about this matter..."

Alicia hesitated a little, and Xu Zhen blinked. She walked to an open area and briefly explained her current situation.

"Well, so you're alone for now?"

"Yes, so I want to be with you guys for a while..."

"I have no objection. What about you guys?" Xu Zhen asked the other partners, and they all nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Alicia also showed a very happy smile, and Xu Zhen's expression naturally unfolded.

"So for a period of time, we will act together as three people and three monsters, is that ok?"

Xu Zhen summarized the decision, and the three monsters, Courtney, and Alicia all raised their fists excitedly in response.

------------------

After completing the registration at the front desk, Xu Zhen and his friends were taken to a data room to view the task illustrations corresponding to their respective levels.

The illustrated guide only lists the task name, completion conditions, reward amount and a brief description. The details can only be confirmed in person after accepting the task. This is the basic test for adventurers.

Xu Zhen couldn't help but nod as he flipped through the pages, "Well, that should be the case." Instead, he should be grateful that the guild at least provided so much information.

“There are a lot of tasks to collect materials.”

"Not only are there medicinal and poisonous herbs, but there is also the task of fetching water... It looks simple, but it must be difficult."

The water-collecting mission that Lati found aroused Xu Zhen's interest. Just as the name of the mission indicated, one only needed to go to a specific place to collect a specified amount of water. This reminded him of the herb-collecting mission he had accepted in the capital of Santono, but the difficulty seemed to be set higher.

Although the level now is different from that time, which should be taken for granted, Xu Zhen always feels that it is more than just that, which arouses his interest even more.
