The Hero in Exile

"Two bowls of beef rice, please."

"Okay...Okay." This time, the receptionist saw Lingyu stuttering and shouted.

On the other hand, Lingyu was humming a tune from her hometown while waiting casually.

"I'm sorry it's a bit slow. If you are not satisfied with the dish, we will make a new one for you." Compared with last time, he was much more respectful this time and bowed deeply.

"Oh, okay." Lingyu picked up the plate woodenly and returned to his seat, but he really couldn't understand why he seemed like a different person this time and he was so uncomfortable.

"I said you have feelings for this meal? This thing again."

The man sitting in front of him complained, thinking that he still had about three gold coins on him, so why should he eat these again? He might as well go to a high-end restaurant and have a good meal.

"I don't know what's in here. If you want to eat it, then eat it. If you don't want to eat it, then forget it."

Lingyu stuffed a spoonful into her mouth unhappily, and the aroma of beef immediately burst out of her mouth, the rice grains mixed with the sauce were rich and dense.

"I ordered beef rice last time too, why do I feel there is such a big difference?" Lingyu scooped up a spoonful and looked at it carefully.

"This beef tastes very obviously like high-quality beef specially prepared for the nobility, and this meal is definitely not something that an adventurer's association like this can afford to hire casually."

Moran said calmly, using a fork to pick up a piece of beef and carefully put it into his mouth, like a gentleman. This also gave Lingyu goose bumps.

Moran continued, "Common people can only earn a few gold coins in their lifetime. You just took out one so casually before, and with your clothes, they would definitely think that you were some adult's child who ran out to play."

"Is that so?"

"So we have to pretend like this as much as possible, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion." Moran said and looked at Lingyu with some concern.

"Hey, what do you mean by looking at this?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"I learned these etiquettes from the church after all."

Why do I always feel that she is unreliable? Of course I can't say such things, otherwise who knows what kind of temper this woman will get into.

"I'm so full after eating so much, burp~"

After finishing this plate of food, Lingyu slumped happily in the chair. Looking at the appearance in front of him, Moran could hardly see any connection between her and the word "noble". However, this was a secondary issue. The main thing now was to inquire about information or something like that, perhaps someone could break the curse.

The best place to collect intelligence is to start from the Adventurer's Guild. Although I don't think highly of human organizations, internal gossip in such places often spreads very quickly and it is difficult to judge whether it is true or false, but it is better than nothing.

"Pack up and prepare to register as an adventurer later."

"So sudden?" Lingyu was a little confused by Moran's sudden words.

Although I don't understand what Moran wants to do, at least he won't be hostile to me. Besides, it would be a shame if I didn't become an adventurer when I came to another world. I am good at killing monsters, leveling up and taking quests.

"Hello, we want to become adventurers, please register."

The receptionist showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it and come back right away."

After saying that, he turned and went into the president's office.

"President, there are two people outside who want to become adventurers and look like nobles. What should we do?"

"A noble." An old man with a face covered by white hair was the president she mentioned. The president took a small puff of the cigarette and said, "Just follow the usual procedure."

"But if an accident happens during the mission, I'm afraid..."

"Just give them D-rank adventure cards. Usually, just let them rescue cats and dogs. At most, they can chop down slimes, which won't cause any trouble."

"Yes, President."

……

"You two just need to give us your ID cards to confirm your information and pay a five-silver-coin handling fee to register."

"Yeah, okay." Lingyu handed out her and Moran's ID cards.

At first Lingyu was a little worried that her ID card might be found to be fake, but in the end she was told to confirm the information and it was done just by looking at the name.

She skillfully opened the drawer at the front desk, took out two bronze plates, and easily engraved something on them with a special pen.

The two took their adventure cards, which had their own and Moran's names engraved on them, with a big D written next to them.

"Is it the lowest level adventurer, D-level? How disappointing." Moran complained.

The receptionist replied awkwardly, "It was like this at the beginning, Ms. Moran and Ms. Lingyu. My name is Eve. You can come to me to take on tasks in the future. When the time is right, you will naturally upgrade your level."

"Then what is our first mission?" Lingyu looked at Eve with some excitement.
