After lunch I left the inn because I needed to talk to Mary about becoming adventurous. I don't know if she would accept it easily, but I don't think she will try to stop me from becoming an adventurer.

I was walking around the capital, the capital was very busy, there were a lot of people on the streets and a lot of open tents along the way.

Wherever you looked, you could see a salesman selling something.

'It's a very prosperous city.' That was what I thought as I walked to the inn and looked around at the whole operation of the capital.

I was also seeing the castle, it was in the highest part of the capital, it was a wonderful palace.

But now is not the time, maybe someday I can get into that castle.

After walking for a few more minutes I arrived at the door of the inn where Mary was staying.

Again the innkeeper gave me Mary's room key when I arrived at the front desk.

I hope Mary accepts everything easily, I don't want to see her sadder than she is now, as she is still very upset that her mother didn't show up after she won the tournament.

I opened the door to Mary's room.

She was sitting on the edge of the quiet bed saying nothing, I didn't know she was so upset about that.

"Mary." I approached Mary and bent down to look into her eyes, I had to do something for her, I couldn't leave her so bad.

"Endl." Mary called me in a weak, tearful voice.

To leave her own daughter in this state, her mother is certainly a horrible person.

'Isabell, if this girl is your daughter, we'll talk very seriously if I meet you again.' I was determined to do that, because leaving Mary in this state made me furious with her.

"Mary, I have something to talk to you about." I said as I sat next to her and held her hand.

When I said that, Mary just turned her face to me and looked deep into my eyes.

"Well, I decided to become an adventurer so I'll have to leave school." I said as I shook Mary's hand because I didn't want to make her feel even worse.

"Endl, don't leave me you too." Mary said and jumped on me, she was hugging me tightly, her hug was warm and made me happy.

"Mary, I won't leave you, I'll come visit you every day." I said as I continued to hug Mary and run my hand through her hair to calm her down.

Was she so afraid of me leaving her? I would never do that, I've already decided that Mary will be the woman I want to marry.

After a while Mary stopped hugging me, she had tears in her eyes.

"Listen Mary, I haven't given up on finding your mother yet, so don't be so upset about it." I said as I tried to cheer Mary up, because I wouldn't want to see her like this again.

"Lily will also keep going to school, so you won't be alone, all right?" I said that and hugged Mary again because I wanted to make her feel better anyway.

After I explained the circumstances to Mary I left her in the bedroom because she wanted to get some sleep.

I left the room and went back to the inn I was staying at.

'Tomorrow I will do my first mission.' I was thinking of doing my first mission tomorrow, as I was looking forward to it.

It was another day and I was heading towards the adventurer guild, I received many glances, as apparently very few children drop out of school to become adventurers.

When I arrived at the guild, inside there were several stinking men like before, I was used to that of course, but I was one of the adventurers not drinking, so I just stood aside feeling the stench of the drink.

I never liked to drink, so in this new life I don't think I will drink either.

Or maybe I change my mind and end up drinking something, I don't know yet.

But leaving that aside, I need to get a mission.

The guild had a huge board with several missions glued, it is exactly the same as my previous world.

'I want some E-RANK mission' I wanted to get up from F-RANK quickly, so I was looking for an E-RANK mission to do.

After searching for a while I found a mission very easy, so I would not risk even doing the mission alone.

Mission: Kill 5 Goblins.

Reward: 6 copper coins.

RANK: E

It was a very easy mission as there is a forest near the capital where adventurers could find goblins easily .

'Well then, come on.' I took the mission and started toward the guild receptionist.
