"Well, you'll go to tea as promised?"

"No way, since it's an agreement."

At this point, she simply found the boy's carefree nature endearing, and her wariness had disappeared.

The boy seemed to be leading the way to a store, but he was clearly unfamiliar with the place. This showed that he was not a local, nor a typical adventurer. He quickly chose a small restaurant that looked clean and unlikely to cause any problems, and sat down.

“My name is Ye Kai. I would be happy if you would tell me your name.”

She replied, "My name is Cham Natron. As you can see, I am a risk-taker."

“Wow, you have a family name. That’s great. I was worried that it would be bad if it was misunderstood.”

The boy named Kai seemed to have told her his family name in order to gain her trust.

It seems that Kai is not as cheerful as she thought, but the type who can read other people's reactions and behaviors. She realized that she needed to be vigilant in this regard.

"Can I call you Cham?"

"Of course. I'd be happy if you could forget about the rest."

“Yeah, I see. I won’t forget it, but I won’t tell you.”

"If you're going to be so mean, I won't tell you anything else."

“Wow! That’s not what I meant! I really just wanted to keep it a secret.” Hearing that Kai seemed to be about to cry, Cham smiled and replied, “I forgive you.”

"By the way, why do you want to save me?"

"Because if a man sees a woman in trouble and doesn't do anything about it, then he's useless."

"..."

She remained silent, determined not to be deceived by the prompt reply, though it smacked of falsehood.

“…because Cham is beautiful.”

"..."

"At least you looked in the mirror! If Cham isn't beautiful enough to attract men's attention, it would be hard to find a beautiful woman even if you traveled all over the world!"

"No need to exaggerate. I'd be embarrassed."

She hurriedly asked him to stop because his compliments were too enthusiastic, but for Kai, the words were undoubtedly from the heart.

He did know some beauties, but he thought Cham was as beautiful as any of them. The other beauty was indeed very beautiful, with a gentle beauty that made people feel comfortable.

In contrast, Cham is like what a famous artist claims is a "masterpiece in life." Her beauty is sharp and clear. Her figure is not simply gorgeous, but a balance that makes people feel that it cannot be more perfect.

With a face like that, her beauty was simply out of this world, and Kai's words of praise were by no means polite.

"If you have any other plans, I might have to say goodbye."

Even though she was Cham, she didn't think she wasn't beautiful. She knew that it was necessary to maintain chastity, so she had to convey such words.

"Hmm. Uh, I was thinking, maybe you could sign up to be a member of the team?"

"That's it? Or do you think it will take time to figure it out?"

These are the words he uttered after an inner struggle, if these words are to be trusted.

“I’m very happy now.”

That said, just being with her was enough.

Hearing this, Cham was not completely unwilling. Although it was obviously reckless to be completely defenseless, she began to think that maybe she could let this boy stay by her side.

"Well, let's start over. I'm Cham, a wandering adventurer."

“Great! I’m Ye Kai. I’m also considering becoming a wandering adventurer. Please give me your advice!”

"Although there are some things worth complaining about, please still take care of me." Cham shook Ye Kai's outstretched hand, "My level is a high-level hunter, what about you?"

She took out the adventurer's badge that had been transformed into a pendant from her chest and pointed at the silver medal in the center.

This adventurer badge is an item that proves the identity of the adventurer, also known as a medal. The medal-shaped object in the center is made of crystal, and magical words such as accumulated points, level, merit, and violation records are engraved inside.

These contents are protected and can only be changed through special devices installed in the Adventurer's Guild.

“I’m a low-level novice.”

"Huh? A lowly newbie?"

"Ah, you are disappointed?"

“…No, it’s not like that…”

Seeing the white medal that Ye Kai took out, Chamu made a strange sound in surprise. It was not because she was blaming him for his low level, but because the level of his martial arts skills that she had seen before did not match his level.

The levels of adventurers from low to high are: "Beginner", "Low-level Novice", "Novice", "Advanced Novice". These are white badges and are called the levels of general adventurers.

Next are "Hunter" and "Advanced Hunter". These two levels are silver medals and belong to advanced adventurers.

Finally, there are the "Limit Breakers" and the few "Dragon Hunters" in the world. These are the Black Medals. They belong to the highest level of adventurers, but are usually called Black Medals.

In other words, Ye Kai's level is the second from the bottom. He is just starting out.

"Did you just become an adventurer?"

“This is the sixth round in six years.”

“…What on earth are you doing?”

He spent six years and only rose one level. She had no idea how leisurely he was.

"Let's talk a little bit." This was Cham's silent compromise.
