After breakfast, Alen and the others went near the city center. A lot of people passed by on the street and there were also many small shops that were still made of simple wooden boards, they sold various items that were often found at home such as fruit, vegetables, meat, knives, and others.
Somewhere far from the crowds they stopped and in front of them was a large building with a large courtyard, the entrance was closed with an iron wall and fence, and outside the gate there were also two guards wearing armor.
They walked towards the two guards, and it was the two guards who saw them. Both of them bowed slightly and one of the guards with orange hair and eyes greeted first "Hello Mrs. Sarah, Lady Hestia told us that you and other guests would come to visit, and she is waiting for you inside."
They both opened the gate and let us in.
"Please come in Mrs. Sarah, Miss Layla and..."
"Ah, Billy, Wagon. This is Alea and her son Alen" The man called Billy looked at Alea briefly and then looked at Alen carefully.
'He's a boy?' Billy asked in his heart, and Alen could guess what he was thinking. But Alen could only smile.
Sarah continued her introduction "And Alea, Alen. Introducing, Billy and Wagon" Sarah first pointed towards the one with orange hair, Billy, he had the stature of a thug but he knew his manners and then pointed towards Wagon who had black hair, unlike Billy, Wagon had the vibes of a normal person with a little beard that seemed to be growing.
"Hello" Alea and Alen said at the same time while slightly hunching their shoulders. And the guards also bowed slightly.
After a brief introduction, they proceeded to enter. They were not guided by the guards because Sarah was often invited by Layla to play here. Because her daughter was good friends with the owner's son.
"Woahhh!!!"
Arriving in front of the large house, Alen and Alea were amazed by the building, the house was white with a mixture of brown colors from the wooden pillars that supported the building.
Sarah giggled at her best friend who was mesmerized by the noble building in front of her.
"It's natural for Alen to be mesmerized by a noble building, but haven't you seen many buildings like this" Sarah asked.
Alea flinched slightly at Sarah's words, she could only smile a little. "I'm just surprised Reinhart and Hestia could get this far, they deserve this kind of achievement"
Alen and Layla just listened to what the two of them said.
*****
There was a sound from inside and *Duak The door opened with a 5-year-old black short-haired girl coming out of the house.
"Come on Rain, if we stay inside the house. Uncle Reinhart will make us practice"
"Wait Sera, dad will scold us if we skip practice" Then behind her was a boy who was still small but could be seen at a glance that this child was very handsome.
"Oh come on, skipping one day won't be a problem" the girl replied.
"Rain, Sera. I'll tell uncle if you guys skip class."
They both saw Layla hearing their words, not only Layla but also Sarah and the other two strangers.
"Layla!" A surprised Sera also greeted Sarah "H-Hello Aunty" They both greeted Sarah but fell silent when they saw two people who were strangers to them.
"Ah, Hello. You must be the guest that my mom and dad have been talking about." Rain greeted Alea "Sera, please tell mom that her guest has arrived" Rain whispered to Sera and she just nodded her understanding and ran into the house.
Alea smiled at the adorable behavior of the two of them.
"Hello~, hearing your name, you must be Hestia's son. My name is Alea and this is my son Alen, he's the same age as you and I hope you guys can get along well."
Rain looked at Alen who smiled sweetly at her "Hello~" Alen greeted her with a smile. But Rain just stood still looking at Alen 'He's so pretty, cute, sweet, pretty, cute, sweet, pretty, cute, sweet, pretty, cute, sweet' Rain muttered in her mind, and until finally she was awakened by Layla "..ain? Rain? Rain? Why are you silent?"
"Huh? Oh, Ah sorry" Rain finally came out of her reverie.
"Why are you daydreaming?" Layla asked. But Rain changed the subject "What's more important, let's go in first."
They all entered the house and sat on chairs and the table was provided with snacks in the form of cakes and tea.
And soon Hestia finally came to meet them. "Gosh, I'm sorry if I'm late to greet you"
"Ah Hestia"
They all stood up and introduced themselves again and chatted with each other, because the children did not feel at home if they were just silent. Alen, Layla, Rain, and Sera decided to play outside.
*****
"So? What are we going to do today?" Layla asked them.
"Since we've got a new partner, how about we introduce the roles we're filling first? Alen might be a good teammate. Right Rain? Rain?" Sera called Rain many times but Rain was silent and only looked towards Alen.
"Hey Rain!!!"
"Huh what? Oh yeah let's just do it like that" Rain actually didn't hear what Sera said, she just agreed.
Layla could only giggle at the behavior of the two of them "Hihi, then Alen, I'm Layla who fills the role of Mage at this Party"
"Huh Party?" Alen wondered what she meant.
"You want to be an adventurer right? We also want to be adventurers, that's why we made this party trained by uncle Reinhart. And I fill the position of Mage."
"I'm Sera, who fills the position of Scout like Assassin" Sera smilingly continued.
"And I am Rain, who fills the position of Warior as well as the leader of this Party" With her relaxed face she introduced herself well this time.
"So, what are you good at Alen?" Layla asked.
Alen thought 'So if I join, I will be able to adventure freely?' Alen became excited 'Hmm, the portion of this party is good, but lacks a Healer. Maybe I'll fill that position. After all, I will also tell everyone that I can use the power of light.
"I can heal people"
