Starting My New Life As An Adventurer
the city of paradise 'lozagon'

A few years later, I was 5 years old. The year before was normal even though I was very happy with my normal life of being a child. Breakfast, playing, helping Kiara nee-san, and having dinner together. Things like this are sometimes the things I missed in my previous life.

my growth is so fast compared to my age, I can even talk and run better than a 10-year-old in my village. Because the language in this world is the same as the world I used to be, I don't have to bother to learn to read or write anymore. That much free time I spent reading books on grandfather's bookshelf or helping Kiara nee-san clean the house.

Some of my neighbors say that I am a genius because I can read, write, count at the age of 3 years even they gossip that I am a giant descendant because of my rapid growth, really nasty mouth.

"Master Hikaru please put down this cup." Kiara gave the cup that had just been washed to me.

"Good Kiara nee-san,"

right now I'm helping Kiara nee-san wash the kitchen utensils.

"Mr Hikaru, you don't need to call me nee-san as if I were your brother, I was the servant in this house, you can just call me by my name." Telling me in the tone of a servant.

"Hmmm if I am free to call you I will still call you Kiara nee-san.or maybe do you feel uncomfortable?" I saw it right in his eyes.

"(a little smile), you are indeed a good child.then I will still call you Hikaru from now on huh?"

"Yes, I'm so glad nee-san called me that." I smiled at him.

*krrekk

(The sound of the door opened from the grandfather's room)

"ahhhh, I slept bad last night, my body hurts so much." Grandpa yawned while coming out of his room.

"Well amazing, why did Grandpa just wake up at this hour? It's 9 in the morning, isn't grandpa

seeing Kiara nee-san already working from earlier?" I scolded my grandfather who was like that almost every day.

"haa? ahh males ah I just woke up, after waking up it was obvious I should drink coffee and sleep again." Grandpa walked limp onto the sofa and slept again.

"Damn this old geezer, after all how can a lazy grandfather like this be appointed as the village chief. He should be a bum."  I grumbled.

"Hikaru, (while patting me on the shoulder) should not say such harsh words, Mr. Rondo is a respected person in the village and he is a reliable figure, he said, anyways the task of cleaning the house is my duty as a servant and there's nothing wrong with that." Nee-san.

"no, no, no. This old geezer had to learn at least to clean his own room, after all, is he not ashamed? I'm just cleaning my own room."

"(with a face of shame and annoyance) ahhhh, yes I understand. after drinking this coffee I will clean my room."

"no, grandpa has to do it now." I went back to scolding him

"Hmmph, Hikaru is stingy." Grandfather went to his room with a pouting face while cleaning his room.

"Kiara nee-san is the laundry done? is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No, just the rest of the house sweeping and cooking lunch.Thanks to Hikaru, you can already rest now." Nee-san put the last plate on the plate rack.

"All right then I'll go walk the way out ok?"

"Well, be careful on Hikaru's path and remember don't forget to go home for lunch huh."

"All right, I'll go first." I walked out of the house.

(When I'm gone, while it's in the house.).

"(Grandfather peeked out of the door of his room), has the boy gone?"

"Yes, he's gone, Mr. Rondo. oh yes, you don't have to bother cleaning your own room, let me do it."

"Hmmm no, this time let me do it, I'm not busy today either, sorry Kiara seems like I've been bothering you a lot." Grandpa apologized sincerely.

"What Mr. Rondo said, Taking care of the house is my duty, after all I will not forget the kindness of Mr. Rondo who would accept me as a servant in this house."

"Hmm well then, I'm greatly helped hahahaha" grandfather turned again into an annoying person.

(In the middle of my trip around my house)

"This place is very quiet, there are only a few houses, forests and plantations.It's possible that grandfather was ostracized by his own people and they stayed away from him hahahaha" I laughed bitterly at grandfather.

"Hey son Hikaru, what are you doing here?" Suddenly someone called me from behind.

"(While turning my head), oh it turns out that lady arima, I just walked for a while.Where does the madam want to go?

" Call me mother arima. I want to go to the center of the village, there are some items I want to buy. oh yes, do you want to come?

"Can I be Miss arima? I'd be very happy if I was allowed to accompany you."

"What's wrong, I'm also happy to be accompanied by shopping by a good boy like you, let's go." He held my hand

"Wait a minute, I have to ask Kiara nee-san for permission because I'm going to be late for lunch." I pulled my hand from her

"Don't worry, we'll just go. Let me take care of it if there's a problem." Arima's mother held my hand again.

"Alright then, I don't think it's a problem to go like this once in a while."

We walked for a while and stopped to rent a horse-drawn carriage to get to the center of the village, passing through the green meadows, some houses and we reached the center of the village.

"What a cool arch" I looked up at the gate that we had just passed.

"There are many chariots here, the roads are rocky and many people pass by. This place is very different from the view in grandfather's house" I kept looking around.

"Wait until you see the market, it's the most crowded place in the village."

"Although this area is called a village, but this view is clearly like the center of the city. Why is this region not called the mother city of Arima?" I asked him

"Truely, this village is large enough to even be large enough to be said to be a city. rondo's village chief was really amazing to develop this village that was once an ordinary village like any other village into a prosperous place like this."

"What's!? the old grandpa?"

I was surprised to not believe it.

"Don't say that, in addition to his sometimes ugly behavior but he is the figure behind the construction of this village. the only reason this area is not called a city is because I heard that rondo-san seems to have a problem with the royal side, even though if this village becomes a town this village can invite adventurer guilds to help this village."

We walked into the village market full of shop stalls and people, the very bustling sounds of merchants filling the hearing

"Welcome! please enter see the goods we offer here."

"come here fresh new wine from the farm."

The village market crowd was full of interaction and very lively, our train stopped.

"Don't be far from me huh, stay behind me and don't stay away, this place is very crowded.get it?

Arima's mother warned me

"i understand." I nodded in understanding.

The market sells many things, ranging from Bread, flour, meat, fish flowers, fruits, vegetables, handicrafts and also unique objects such as talismans and magic stones.

"i bought this 3 tie." Arima's mother pointed to a plant.

"It cost 3 bronze coins." The merchant smiled.

(Arya's mother gives money and smiles). "Thank you."

"Thank you, come again" the merchant waved his hand

Arima's mother kept walking, buying some things she needed. There were too many interesting things to see here, until I finally stopped at a very amazing gun shop.

"What a cool thing." With a dazzling face I went into the store.

All kinds of weapons and armor are on display around the store swords, spears, arrows, shields and armor that look neatly arranged on the shelf.

"This sword looks so cool." I saw a giant sword on the wall.

"Hey little boy, where are your parents?" A man called me.

"Eehhh", I realized that I was separated from Arima's mother.

"I think I'm lost."

"You're lost, let me take you around here" with a happy and enthusiastic face to me, he took me for a look.

"Are you lost from seeing all these glittering weapons?"

"Yes they are so amazing" I replied with enthusiasm

"Hahaha, it turns out that you understand as well. They are all good quality weapons, this one is the twinblade of the famous elf army, this one is the western kingdom Crusader sword."

"Oh, and look at this spear." He took out a large spear with a dark red handle and a long blade from the wall. This spear was the spear used by the royal cavalry of the gazelles in the 1000-day war with the country of silvania, do you know about the 1,000-day war, son?"

"I don't know."

"The 1000-day war was a battle for a strategic city called lozagon between the gazel kingdom and the silvania state."

"The city has a very large port, housing and fort.it is located in the middle of the sea but is always crowded and visited by swords, some traders even call this city a paradise city."

"Well, who won that fight?"

(While wiping the spear)

"The fight to capture the lozagon city lasted exactly 1000 days, which is why it was called the 1000-day war.

The fight for the city was very fierce, the two countries took control of the city alternately but in just a few days were captured again by the enemy country and continued like that."

"Until the end the king of Gazel sent a fleet of ships he named 'hakurou', a fleet of warships that could accommodate many soldiers and was full of cannons. This spear is the kind that the soldiers wear."

"The "silvanian kingdom was overwhelmed by the attacks of the hakurou forces, coupled with other attacks from neighboring countries that attempted to invade silvania. Finally the leader of the silvanian state was forced to withdraw his troops from the city of lozagon and the battle was won by the kingdom of gazel, the spear that brought this victory was named the spear hakurou in accordance with the name of the army."

"Where is the city, uncle?" I asked curious.

"Hahaha, that city is very far from here.You have to pass through some dangerous kingdoms and seas to get there." He said as if it was impossible to just sightsee there.

"Hmm, it might be good if I go there one day."

"Well little boy are you interested in becoming an adventurer?"

"An adventurer yes....."

"Yes adventurous, you can explore many places that people have not visited and meet great people all over the world."

"It looks like fun."

"Yes, it was fun. I was once an adventurer and finally settled here after I got married.Hear son, there are still many mysterious places that no one has been to before."

"Certainly that?"

"Yes, until now there has been no one who has mapped all parts of this world.The world is very vast full of wonders and mysteries that the purpose of adventurers wandering, to find the miracle. Sit down son, I'll tell you some other good stories."

The store owner continued to tell me about many things until it was dark and finally Arima's mother came.

"Excuse me, did you see a little boy with blue hair around here?" Arima's mother asked every store.

"Nyona arima I'm here!" I waved my hand at him.

"Where have you been, I'm so worried." Arima's mother hugged me.

"He's lost and I'm keeping him here" the uncle came and told Arima's mother what happened.

"Thank you so much store owner. Now Hikaru, let's go home."

"Well mother arima, uncle shop owner I go first" I waved my hand and walked away with mother arima.

"Let's wait, before you go I'll give you something"

He gave me an object wrapped in cloth.

"What's this?" I asked him

"It's a wooden sword, you can start training to become an adventurer with it, No need to pay it hahahaha."

Thank you very much, well then I'll go first, see you again uncle."

"Yes heart is on the way." The uncle waved his hand at us.

When we came home it was dark and when I got home of course I was scolded by Kiara nee-san for a very long time for not giving news because I came home late, arima's mother ran away and did not want to defend me.
