(fran POV)
Opening my eyes, and seeing the sunlight seeping through the gaps of the curtains, I woke up hurriedly and a sharp pain ran through my whole body.
I writhed in agony on top of the bed.
Thinking about what was happening in my chaotic head, I realized that this room was much more modest than my own room.
And then I finally remembered that i was currently travelling.
“aaa…..”
A voice that did not seem suitable for a young girl like me leaked from my mouth.
As I endured the pain for some time, I finally became able to move.
And finally, I slowly raised my body.
Currently I was wearing a pajama that really doesn’t suit an adventurer.
“……it hurts.”
It had hurt even when I had to sleep outside for the first time and had ended up pulling an all-nighter, but right now the pain is worse than that time.
Since it’s the first time I’m having muscular pains like these, I don’t know what I should really do about it.
The man travelling with me did say to massage well but since I was too tired I had fallen asleep soon after taking a bath.
I think, that’s probably the main reason.
I regretted as I hung my head,
But, no matter how much I dwell on it now, my muscular pains won’t go away. So resigning myself, I endured it and decided to change my clothes.
Removing my silk pajamas, I put on thick adventurer like shirt and trousers.
I had chosen clothes that wouldn’t emphasize my body line too much but I guess the womanly curves would end up showing even then.
I don’t know whether I should be happy for that as a girl or should I feel bad as an adventurer.
Thinking about such things, after changing I sat on my bed.
I was told that today I should rest but I can’t think of anything to do.
Or rather, the pains make me don’t want to move at all.
Even while I sit like this, my joints are still aching with pain.
“I wonder how everyone is doing.”
Saying that, I became a bit anxious.
Did everyone at school, already finished their exams?
Everyone was challenging the monster subjugation exams along with those god slaying heroes.
For the heroes who saved the world, it would be an easy task.
But, for us who haven’t travelled like this, it was extremely difficult.
Actually, I had been really at a loss when I ended up having to travel alone.
I had invited those who had been unable to make a party with the heroes but for some reason I never got an answer back from them.
Maybe they had some pressure from home.
Anyway, I ended up having to travel alone.
If I had kept waiting, I would have run out of time.
Where should I go? What should I do? Without knowing anything, and roaming around in a carriage, I had almost ended up dying in the village I had ended up reaching.
Even though I am a student of the Magic Academy, I don’t have any combat experience.
I had believed, without any reason, that it would be easy to fight monsters with magic.
If people of the same age as me could become God Slayers, I could also at least fight.
I’m sure, everyone else is also thinking like that.
It’d be nice if everyone is fine. Thinking that, I slowly stood up.
As expected, every part of my body still hurts.
Enduring the pain, I exited through the door.
“I’m feeling hungry……”
Judging by the height of the sun from the window, it should be around noon right now.
This is the first time I had overslept like this. I could only smile wryly at that.
As I came down to the first floor that had been made into a diner, I saw the man travelling with me taking his breakfast right now.
Renji-san.
An adventurer.
The man who saved me when I was about to die.
Defeating all those goblins instantly, he is an amazing man…….I think.
I’m not sure.
He’s probably strong but, but I can’t understand what kind of guy he is.
He taught me various things as well.
He’s really reliable but he would sometimes look at me with the same perverted eyes as those guys of my own age.
I guess being older in age doesn’t mean much but for some reason I can’t seem to hate him for it.
He would soon avert his gaze and I can’t sense any evil thoughts like normal men.
It’s, as if, he’s just looking at me.
Am I paying too much attention to it, I wonder?
That’s why, I can’t understand him.
I should probably be a bit more cautious but I simply can’t think of him badly.
Whether that’s because he had saved me from those Goblins or was it Renji-san’s natural virtue, I do not know.
“Good Morning, Renji-san.”
“It’s already noon though.”(renji)
“……haha, mind if we share a table?”
Speaking that, I sat on the chair. Renji-san was, as usual, playing around by flicking his medal with his fingers.
A ping ping sound resounded in my ears.
He was simply sitting on his chair lazily and was flicking his medal but for some reason he still seemed good looking.
