In the room that Sam rent in the inn, there is was a new guest, a crying Petunia in the bed. Sam was currently trying to sleep in the floor, but he was analyzing what he hears from Petunia.
Sam felt awful. –She is kind of right, if I went to join the party sooner, the story was going to be a lot different-
First, if he didn't take his time in Magda city, Liam party didn't have to bring an unknown adventurer for the mission. Next, Liam was right, he couldn't possible escape with the rations causing the party to shoulder extra weight making them more tired easily. And finally, seeing that Liam party could defeat an Orc on they own, they could definitely defeat the Orc group with him and allowing Petunia to help without worrying about surviving.
-I said that I will take responsibility in case if I was a little responsible, so I would do just that; I will take care of little pea from today own-
Making his decision, Sam feeling proud of him tries to sleep with a crying child in the room. –This is going to be a long night-… he fell asleep a minute after.
The next morning
Little Pea was staring down a drooling Sam, "This idiot can sleep like that after all what happen? He didn't feel anything?"
Feeling angry looking at the happy face of Sam sleeping, she started to call him to wake him up.
"Wake up stupid uncle!" Little Pea was shaking a dead asleep Sam. –He still is sleeping like that, he don't believe that I will kill him in rage and sorrow?-
"Five minutes more" Responded a still sleeping Sam.
"That's it" Throwing a kick at Sam stomach, finally waking him up.
"Oh Oh… why the violence?" Sam was in pain in the floor thinking if adopting little Pea it's a good idea.
"It's your own fault since you didn't wake up when I call you" Seeing that Sam still didn't stand up, she throw in another tantrum, "get up you weak man, I'm hungry and you still need to pay for my breakfast" Said as she go outside the room.
Standing up, he retorted "I kind of prefer a crying Pea to a bossy one" he could easily deal with a crying child.
Little Pea still nearby head that, "What do you just say!?" She was now looking with killing intention at Sam.
"I said if you prefer fried eggs or milk for breakfast" Responded Sam with a survival instinct.
"You better said that, and crying if for child's, and I'm no longer one" Little pea said as she went to the dining room and ignoring the fact that she was still a child and she did cried all night yesterday.
After the breakfast, Sam has a talk face to face with Little Pea.
"So, what are your plans from now on Little –Pea- girl?"
"My plans are that you have to pay me a gold coin for emotional damage after you buy me all kind of things like new clothes, and with that money crossing the border" Little Pea was looking at Sam expecting to him to do just that.
"Denied" Sam was not changing his mind about her.
"But, why? Don't you feel somewhat responsible for the entire thing that happens to me?" Little Pea was using her plan B… puppy eyes.
"It's exactly because of that, from now on, I will be your guardian, taking care of you"
"No, absolutely no!" Shaking her little head, she rejects all options of following him.
"You have somebody else to take care of you?" Sam looks with a questioning gaze to her.
"No, but…" Little Pea cant denied that.
"Then it's decided" Sam get up closing the conversation. "First thing to do its buying clothes for you, you look like a homeless person" Sam activates another landmine.
"You stupid man! This is all because of you!" The landmine explodes in the form of a kick from Little Pea.
This way, they went fighting all the way up to the clothing shop, were Sam was denied entry. Sam could only stay outside while the girl was on shopping, and almost fainted when he saw the total to pay.
"My gods, how can you spent two silver in clothes!?" Sam was calculating in his head. "That almost it's the price for a good armor!" Sam was contemplating the possibility of not taking care of her.
"That is the regular price to woman clothes, so do you still want to take care of me?" She was smiling to Sam with a wide grin in her face. "It only cost a gold coin to lose me".
"Never!" Sam sticks with his decision. Sam then came to a realization after repeatedly hear –gold coin- The surprise that George told him.
"Follow me to the adventurer's guild, I have something to do there"
In the guild, Sam talks to the second floor guild. "I was told there is a requisite before doing a bronze rank mission"
Little Pea open her eyes wide hearing this, she don't believe Sam could pay for "that".
"There is, and it cost a gold coin. Do you want to do it?" The guild lady looks at Sam and the little girl with doubts.
Taking out a gold coin Sam ask if could still do it even without the guild card as he still didn't receive the replacement, after an affirmative response Sam pays the guild lady.
The lady smiling happy thinking in her commission goes inside for a minute bringing an extra person in a robe.
"Hello, I'm the stay magician for a time in the guild, you don't deserve knowing my name" with this modest introduction the pair meet a magician.
"Now let's get over this" the magician does some hand sign and aim at Sam.
"I have some second's thoughts now" Sam feels a little doubtful now.
The magician ignoring Sam, finish what he was doing and after a blinding light he speaks again.
"It's done, now try saying Status"
"Status?" Sam said it on impulse.

AN: This it's what everyone can see
-Perfect, I paid for something I already have- Sam thought having a heart attack.
Everyone becomes speechless, even more the guild lady that have something in her mind, but looking at little Pea she changes her mind.
"As you can see, the payment it's for awakening this magic" The guild lady recover from her shock. "For a bronze rank mission, you need to be at least level 25 and to be Novice in one area." Looking at Sam Status page again then continues. "You still need the level requirements to try the mission, when you reach the level you can try it for free one time."
-At least I have that- Looking at the still shocked Little Pea he thought. –Look how awesome I am!-
