Morning. Sunlight passing through my window, brightened my room. Sleeping soundly on the bed when suddenly,

*Thud*

I woke up with my face flat on the wooden floor which is the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.

"Owww..."

...

—Early in the morning, as per usual, I walk down the stairs and enter the bathroom then took a bath and brushed my teeth. After that, I changed into my usual black blazer with purple ends that I washed and dried last night and headed to the kitchen. I took an apple in the table then headed outside.

"I'm leaving, Dad."

Shouted loud enough for my old man to hear in the basement.

Not waiting for a reply I closed the door and then heard some people talking and shouting in front of the house.

You shouldn't even be here, damn girl. I didn't even invite you!"

"Who cares if you didn't invite me? If Suzu is going then it's obvious that I will as well. Got a problem with that?"

Those two are at each other's throats again even though it's this early in the morning… I say that but it's already seven-thirty.

"You should calm down, Alex-kun. We should just let her come with us since we don't go out of the village much."

Haruko was separating Alex and Mizuko who are close enough to rub their foreheads. As I turned my gaze away from them, I noticed three girls who are sitting at the table near our garden. The small girl between them sighed and asked,

"Akemi-chan, Kasumi-chan, how much time 'till the carriage comes?"

"Ehehe... They won't be coming here because we haven't secured a carriage yet."

"We'll be on our way after Hiroki comes out of the house. Ah! Speaking of the devil."

Akemi noticed me then the others turned to me as well.

Then the two loudmouthed creatures yelled,

H"iroki! You're finally up, you bastard! What took you so long?! Did you forget what day today?!"

"You got some balls to make us wait. Why don't you come here, I'll give you a nice punch!"

That's right. Today is the day we would be visiting the Southern Guild in the Kingdom because the Guild Master invited us, bunch of children yet to mature from adolescence yet craves for adventures of life. He asked us to visit so that if the time comes, we'd join in if we like it. How did this happen? Well… It all started about a month ago—
