Walking in Another World

t to rest and someone else will take over.”

Talia then disappears into the darkness, and the tense atmosphere eases a bit.

Being nervous is just going to make us more tired.

“Master, I’m going too.”

“Don’t you need to rest?”

“No, I’m fine.”

Hikari also disappears into the night.

“Is she all right?”

“Yes, don’t worry.
She’s a lot more reliable than me.”

“…What are you two anyway? You have the same hair color, so are you brother and sister?”

Hair color… That’s right, and her eyes are black too.

I look around, and see Leila, Casey, and Luilui are all blonde, although their eyes aren’t quite the same color.
Trisha and Talia are also blonde, and only Yor has silver hair.

If we don’t count people that were summoned with me, I’ve never seen someone with black hair and black eyes, except Hikari.
Is it a coincidence?

“We’re not brother and sister.
Some stuff happened, and I took her in.”

“I see.
I don’t know your circumstances, but I object to bringing such a small child along.
Even if she does seem fired up.”

I’m sure she’s saying that with good intentions.
Her way of speaking might be a bit strange at times, but it’s clear that she’s very caring towards her fellow party members.

“I know you’re concerned, but it’s fine.
Hikari is wiser and stronger than me.”

Yep, she doesn’t look convinced.
But even though I have higher stats, Hikari really does have a lot more combat experience.

“So Miss Leila.”

“Call me Leila too.”

“…Leila, are you adventurers?”

“You’re asking that now? We are B ranked adventurers… Why are you surprised?”

“I’ve only heard about it, so I actually don’t really know, but isn’t rank B pretty high up there? Are all of you actually older than you look?”

“Rude.
I am seventeen, and the others are fifteen.”

“Really? That’s incredible.”

“Not really.
There is a dungeon in our home, so it is easier for us to level up compared to others.”

I see.
Are their levels high too? If I remember correctly, you need to be twelve to register with the guild.
So does that mean Leila has been an adventurer for five years, and the others three?

“And although we are B ranked, we are still beginners.”

“Have you fought orcs?”

“Yes, more than I wish I did in the dungeon.
So don’t worry too much, although carelessness isn’t allowed.”

And then, something moves.

It’s Talia.
She’s back, and tells us the orcs are changing shifts.

Casey and Luilui, who were silently resting, also stand up and get ready.

“Luilui, snipe them as usual.
Talia, be ready just in case.”

Instructs Leila, and the two silently nod.
