When we checked our status, however, it turned out I was the only one without the title of “Hero” and I didn’t even have the special ability called “Gift”, normally granted to all heroes. When Mariana — princess of the Glicente kingdom and the one responsible for summoning us — found out about my situation, she said that “useless people would bring the others down” and kicked me out of the capital.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-2/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-2/Chapter 2 – Subspace and Wyvern Extermination # The next morning, I was preparing breakfast and Finne woke up, maybe attracted by the smell. “Morning, Finne. Breakfast is almost ready.” “Good…moor…ninng…aawn…” Finne replied while rubbing her drowsy eyelids. “…maybe go wash your face first.” “Nnh…yes, I will…” Finne was still unsteady on her feet, but she nodded to me and headed towards the river. I looked at her while stirring the soup in the pot.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-3/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-3/Chapter 3 – Emergency Request # “Emergency…” “…request?” Finne and I checked the contents of the request. EMERGENCY REQUEST Content: A large herd of monsters has appeared to the north of the capital. Cause, exact numbers presently unknown. All adventurers capable of fighting are to gather in the guild immediately. Obligatory participation for adventurers of rank B and above. Reward: 50,000 Gould I was ranked A, so I was forced to go…I was told that rank S adventurers were allowed to not comply with forced participation requests, so if I was promoted could I have ignored this one too?https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-4/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-4/Chapter 4 – S Rank Adventurers # After a few more minutes of running, I reached the location where, among other soldiers and adventurers, Dyne and Norverne — characteristically naked from the waist up — were fighting. There was another man naked from the waist up, defeating monsters one after the other like them: surely the other S rank adventurer. I looked at him more closely and had the feeling I had seen him somewhere before.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-5/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-5/Chapter 5 – The Four Celestial Kings # I’m definitely going to get chewed out this time…what could I say to get out of this mess…? I was lost in such thoughts, when I suddenly felt someone’s gaze on me. It was too far to make out clearly, but definitely hostile. I looked all around, but despite my sight reinforced by Physical Boost, all monsters were gone; Dyne and the other people at the frontlines were still frozen, so it couldn’t be one of them.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-6/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-6/Chapter 6 – Second Name # “Oh!! Boss! Where did you disappear to?” “Ah, I just had something to do. More importantly, there aren’t any monsters in this area anymore. I’ve checked the surroundings thoroughly.” Dyne and the others ran up to me as soon as I returned to the frontline. I had checked only with Detect Presence, but I really found zero monster presences, so it was fine, right?https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-7/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-7/Chapter 7 – Finne’s Special Training # I returned to the New Moon Inn and explained to Finne about what Garguin told me. “You will truly be promoted to S rank, congratulations! I…I have to become stronger too…” “The promotion ceremony will be the day after tomorrow, apparently. We have plenty of time until then, why don’t we do some special training?” She seemed pretty motivated, so I thought it’d be better to strike the iron while it was hot.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-8/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-8/Chapter 8 – The Carnival before the Promotion Ceremony # The next day, we started training early in the morning. The promotion ceremony was scheduled two days from now, but I wanted to be back in the capital today. Because of that, I had to train Finne as much as possible today. I planned to make her fight repeatedly, so she could get used to the katana and her Unique Skill.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-9/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-9/Chapter 9 – Promotion Ceremony # The following day was the scheduled date for the promotion ceremony. Finne and I, wearing our usual clothes, ate breakfast in the inn. I expected to feel nervous but was actually pretty relaxed, maybe thanks to my usual attire. Jayn and Sofia then approached us. “We’re going to see the ceremony too, Haruto.” “We decided to close the inn until the evening, actually.”https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-10/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-10/Chapter 10 – The Party # In the evening of the promotion ceremony, a party was held in the royal palace, gathering the kingdom’s upper elite, high-ranked military officials, nobles, and more. It was a celebration of the victory over the monster horde and my promotion to EX rank. Dillan had prepared a fitting outfit for me to wear: a black swallow-tailed coat, white shirt, and red necktie, formal wear that was very different from my usual clothes.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-11/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-11/Chapter 11 – Tour of the Residence # The next morning, Finne and I were having breakfast at New Moon Inn, when the entrance’s door was opened with brisk momentum. “Haruto, Finne, I have come!” All the eyes in the cafeteria turned towards the entrance. On behalf of all of them, I voiced the question that surfaced in everyone’s mind. “Iris, why are you here?” The sudden visitor was indeed Princess Iris, accompanied by her maid and friend Asha.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-12/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-12/Chapter 12 – New Servants # The day after I turned in the job posting, we bought the essential furniture and started living in the residence. At the same time, we had to leave our room at the New Moon Inn. Jayn and Sofia looked forlorn, but it wasn’t like we wouldn’t see each other anymore. We could always drop by and visit on our way to the guild, for example.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-13/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-13/Chapter 13 – The First Slave # The slave trading post Sebas told me about was located in a back alley rather close to the nobles’ district. There were several places selling slaves in this area; it was pretty close to the nobles’ district, probably because only nobles could afford slaves. “…so it’s here.” I was standing in front of the building marked on Sebas’ map. It was easily the largest building in the alley.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-14/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-14/Chapter 14 – Ephyr’s Past and Haruto’s Truth # It happened about one year before Haruto bought Ephyr. She lived in a hidden elven village located in Tonitia, a large forested area on the border between the Perdis and Glicente kingdoms. Elves did not occupy large tracts of land or built countries: they lived in hidden settlements all over the world, which were all independent from each other. Ephyr’s home village was the largest of such settlements.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-14-5/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-14-5/Interlude – The Heroes’ Search Continues # Vaana, the border town of the kingdom of Glicente closest to the kingdom of Perdis. A Hero party formed by five of Haruto’s classmates — Tendo Koji, Ichinomiya Suzuno, Asakura Natsuki, Shinonome Aoi, and Mogami Shinya — was now visiting this town. In Glicente, the royal family told them that “Haruto was apparently dead”, but they believed he was still alive somewhere.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-15/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-15/Chapter 15 – Reunion # Three days after I bought Ephyr, I visited the royal palace to see Dillan, together with Finne, Iris, and Asha. I had sent a letter about Ephyr the day she told us her story, but the king’s reply said that he wanted to talk about it in person. We thus waited for her to recover completely, then headed to the palace to report. That day, Ephyr would stay in the residence, to receive Lyla and Mia’s maid training.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-16/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-16/Chapter 16 – Another One Joins the Group # “W-w-w-w-wives….!?” Ichinomiya reacted to the truth bomb by turning purple, her mouth flapping like a fish. I ignored her for a moment and protested to Finne and Iris first. “Hey, you didn’t have to just blurt it out!!” “B-but I am your first wife, Sir Haruto…” “Haruto? Does it trouble you in any way for us to state the truth?”https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-17/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-17/Chapter 17 – Rest & Relax # After deciding our plans for the near future, we returned to the residence. I called Sebas and the others in the guest room, introduced Tendo’s group, and told them what happened in the castle. “ — is that so, milord. Quite an unexpected reunion…o’ Noble Heroes, friends of our Lord Haruto, I am Sebastian, a butler in service of this residence. Pleased to make your acquaintance.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-18/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-18/Chapter 18 – The Heroes’ Strength # The next day, I was in the residence’s garden, facing Tendo, Mogami, Suzuno, Shinonome, and Asakura, armed and ready to fight. Iris and Finne were watching from the side. “Are you really sure about this?” “No problem, come at me with all you’ve got.” “ — okay then.” I replied and Tendo nodded firmly. ~ It all started the day before, after dinner.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-19/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/chapter-19/Chapter 19 – New Items and Battle Preparations # We proceeded to have lunch and trained again in the afternoon: it was a rather active day. Because the previous day was so busy, I decided to take a rest the next day. Everyone had free time in the morning, then we gathered at noon to have lunch together. I used the opportunity to talk to everyone about the trip to the elf village.https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/short-story/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tienthieusac.github.io/docs/twem-en/volume-2/short-story/Digital Version Short Story – Nighttime Excavations in the Forest! # In a forest located several Kilometols from the Perdis capital, in the middle of the night… I, Yuki Haruto, an adventurer recently promoted to EX rank, was using Earth magic to dig deep into the ground. Not because I enjoyed making tunnels, of course: my aim was to gather materials to craft weapons, armor, and magic tools. Normally, one would go to a mine to gather such minerals.
