Shane naturally didn't know what would happen next.
However, Shane could more or less guess a part of it.
"If possible, I really hope to have a simple and smooth first experience of life in the otherworld."
With this thought, the slight excitement and elation that had been lingering in Shane's heart since leaving the forest had completely vanished without a trace.
Basically, Shane wasn't someone who liked to act ostentatiously.
Although he couldn't remember anything about himself from his previous life, Shane still retained certain aspects of his personality.
Therefore, Shane knew himself well and was aware of what kind of person he was.
He was someone who was curious about new things but didn't like overly stimulating events. If possible, he hoped to live a mundane life, not get involved in the hustle and bustle, nor become different from others, just quietly watch all sorts of new things amidst the crowd.
However, on the other hand, if something irreversible really happened, Shane wouldn't blame the heavens or resent others. He wouldn't deliberately avoid it but would accept it as something unavoidable.
Therefore, for the extremely unbelievable matter of reincarnating into another world, Shane didn't have any special feelings, just an acceptance of it as an unavoidable thing, occasionally showing some curiosity when the situation was appropriate.
Thanks to this, Shane's ability to accept things was very strong, or rather, he was good at facing objective facts and even better at finding joy amidst hardships. Even if he was curious about the adventurer industry and the customs of the otherworld, he never wanted to attract attention or, like the protagonist in a novel, make a great name and career in the otherworld, leave his mark in history, and change his past ordinary and dull life.
In other words, Shane actually hoped more to live a plain and peaceful life.
Even if reincarnated into the otherworld, having a second life, becoming the legendary Hero, and being entrusted by the Goddess to defeat the Demon King, he didn't want to act too conspicuously.
If possible, Shane planned to become an adventurer in an ordinary manner, complete various commissions and tasks, gradually level up and improve his strength, and wait for the right moment to find an opportunity to defeat the Demon King and fulfill his mission.
Moreover, Shane even hoped he could defeat the Demon King quietly and unknown, before everyone even reacted.
By then, perhaps people in this world would be extremely surprised and greatly shaken, but no one would know Shane did it, allowing him to continue living his second life in this world, hiding his merits and reputation.
That was what Shane wanted to do.
Ambitious people might despise such a Shane, thinking he got reincarnated into the otherworld, became a Hero, had such cheat-like capabilities, yet lacked a bit of ambition, which was really wasting his fortunate encounter.
Those who fantasize about having such a life, like a protagonist traversing to the otherworld to unfold a grand life, might also complain about such a Shane, considering he got what others dreamed of and still was so unprogressive and despicable.
However, Shane was such a person, not seeking thrills, nor wanting to achieve fame and fortune, just hoping to live a stable and peaceful life, and that was enough.
"Making a living from adventurer work, if possible, also traveling around this world, seeing all sorts of new things, then steadily leveling up, isn't it possible to live such a life?"
Shane sighed like this while walking down the busy road.
Shane didn't notice at all that a person happened to pass by him and, by chance, heard what he had said, thus stopping.
"Hey, adventurer over there, you seem to be saying something quite interesting, huh?"
When such a pleasant voice reached Shane's ears, he looked blankly for a moment, halted, and turned to look at the source of the voice.
This glance made Shane stunned.
Because a beautiful girl came into Shane's view.
She appeared to be only about seventeen or eighteen years old, one or two years younger than Shane, yet she was tall, standing over 170 cm, exuding a noble and elegant aura, making one feel as if seeing a young lady taking a walk, like a lady of a wealthy family.
The girl had long, shiny black straight hair, red eyes, and wore a dress that perfectly matched her aura and was convenient for movement. Though the dress wasn't elaborate, the girl's overly beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament enhanced the dress as if it were a princess gown from the royal court.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. People need clothes, and Buddhas need gold embellishments. Supposedly, it should be the clothes that highlight the person, but in her case, it's the person highlighting the clothes, which is a bit incredible.
This kind of girl was holding a snack similar to an unwrapped pancake, eating it bite by bite, her gaze cast on Shane, casually starting a conversation with him.
"You're an adventurer, right? Don't adventurers all wish to make a big name for themselves to achieve something?"
The girl asked with this kind of curiosity.
Her words were not wrong.
Basically, adventurers hoped to make a name for themselves so they could get into the sights of the Great Nobles and even the Royal Family, thus undertaking more high-level, high-difficulty, and high-reward commissions.
It could be said that the thing adventurers needed most was fame.
Having fame could attract more attention, gain more lucrative opportunities, eventually leaving a mark in history, which was something every adventurer pursued.
Many people held expectations and yearnings for the adventurer profession because successful adventurers were as dazzling as stars, receiving hospitality from powerful forces and even countries, gathering money, fame, and status.
Therefore, becoming an adventurer was a desirable thing for ordinary commoners and even for Nobles.
In this situation, Shane gave such a statement; no wonder the girl was curious.
It's just...
"...May I ask who you are?"
After a moment of silence, Shane surprisingly asked this question with a confused tone.
He wasn't flustered upon attracting a pretty girl's curiosity and attention, nor lost his wits when a pretty girl suddenly talked to him. He didn't even feel any admiration, speaking eloquently to gain the girl's attention or setting a flag for a beautiful encounter, instead expressed confusion in a completely unromantic fashion.
This made the girl raise her fine eyebrows and put down the snack in her hand.
"Are you asking me to introduce myself?"
The girl's attitude was a bit playful.
"But you should know, not everyone can make me say my name, you know?"
The atmosphere, due to the girl's words, began to subtly change.
