Now that I think about it, many people have told me that I resemble a woman because I am very sensitive. Is it strange to cry over small things? Even if they are small, the things I cherish I value very much, is that wrong?
My mind is full of thoughts and memories that I can't ignore. I wonder if all people experience this kind of mental torment.
I remember someone once told me that I should always smile, because my smile was cute.
I wonder if it really is....
I don't have any more money from the beast bounties, should I go back to the tower?
I wonder if I should continue to live this way.
Sigh( I should stop thinking like this).
I've been level 1 for a year now, while I've seen many people reach levels 2 and 3 long before me.
My strength and stamina stats are the lowest, but I have 61 points in luck skill.
I don't believe in that skill, as only bad things happen to me.
Maybe I should go to the village tavern and distract myself a bit.
"What's up man, you're still looking as down as ever," the head of the tavern spoke to me. It was Kato-san, an older man but full of energy.
"Yeah, truth be told things are still not going well," I replied with a smile.
"Man, don't worry. You know you can always come here to vent," Kato-san reassured me.
"Thanks, Kato-san, but now I just want a porridge," I said.
"The usual rice one?", he asked me.
"Yes, thanks again," I replied as I sat down at a table.
Then Euri-san, a nice young woman who had been working at the tavern for two years, appeared.
"Here I bring it to you, a rice porridge. How are you doing, Yuzuru-kun? How are you doing in your adventures?", Euri-san asked me with a smile.
"I'm fine, Euri-san," I replied sincerely.
I took the spoon and tasted the porridge.
"This is tasty," I said quietly.
The taste of the rice porridge enveloped my mouth.
Euri-san always cooked delicious, and at very good prices for me, which allowed me to save every copper coin I got on my adventures.
I left 3 copper coins on the table and was about to leave.
But suddenly, a gruff voice interrupted my tranquility.
-Hey, did you hear that? Northeast of the 10th floor, there is a place called the Garden of the Hesperides. They say its golden apples make you go up four levels in an instant.
My ears opened wide. Golden apples?
-They must be lies. You know those things are just myths. They must be a trap.
replied a man who seemed to be the bearded man's friend, though he was smaller.
-But don't deny me, it's pretty good if it's real. -repeated the bearded man.
Golden apples?
See you later, Euri-san, I have to go. -I said goodbye with a smile.
-Sure, Yuzuru, see you later. -she answered.
I didn't care if it was real or not. If there was a chance, I had to try.
If I managed to eat that apple, I could go up four levels in one go. I could impress Lachesis and, perhaps, she would fix her attention on me.
Maybe luck was finally working on me.
