After saying goodbye to Mrs. Phiona politely, Daren pushed open the bakery door and walked out.

Then, he saw Diana, a white-haired woman with a cane, and Enid, a little girl with a big bulging cloth bag next to her, waiting side by side.

"How is it?"

The little girl with light flax hair stared at her curious big black eyes and was eager to ask for the results.

"What can it be... Tracy is only ten years old!" Daren squeezed out a smile with a bitter face, "Please, can't you spare me... I'm really not in a hurry to do this..."

"Boy, we didn't force you to do anything, we just met you." Diana cursed with a smile, closing her eyes, "In the end, you must like the other person, and the other person likes you too... But if you don't meet and don't chat, how can you know if it's appropriate for each other?"

"Dalen, come on, don't be discouraged!" Enid also covered her mouth and giggled, ran up and pushed him with both hands, "Even if the first one fails, you still have a chance. Let's go quickly. Let's have three more appointments next... Don't forget the guide I wrote for you!"

She said as she found a piece of paper full of words from the big cloth bag, stuffed it to Daren's eyes, and swayed: "Did you memorize it last night? Look, review it again on the way~"

As he said that, he stuffed the note into Daren's palm without saying anything.

Daren had no choice but to take it and handed Enid a small bag in his other hand, "This is a little gift before leaving me that Mrs. Fiona gave me... Don't just wait for me, eat something."

"This is...ah, meat floss butter bread?" Enid opened the bag and glanced at it, immediately let out a happy cry. He immediately pinched one and handed it to Diana, and then took one herself and tasted it in small mouthfuls! It's not a big deal that she showed her greed and incredible appearance. Mrs. Fiona's exquisite snacks are still very expensive. The most common black hard bread at home is usually eaten by Daren's family, which is not very good.

Daren looked down at the palm of his hand as he walked.

The words on the paper are the results of Enid running around yesterday afternoon:

"2. Marcy, the daughter of the laundryman Uncle Taylor:"

"Masie is the same age as you, and she is a lively and active young lady! I heard from her playmate that Masie admires people who are better than her since she was a child. She often chats with Little Hans in the training ground and has a good impression of blonde Eddie... She hates the smell of onions and mint the most, and of course, the smell of sweat from boys without taking a bath..."

"Sister Marcy likes adventure stories. You may tell her a few. After all, most people don't have the chance to get into Herbert's mainland adventure story. This is your advantage... I bet that underground gold mine adventure in Goblin City will definitely fascinate her!"

"A gift to Sister Marcy - a Lagas puppy with pure bloodline! I asked the one next door that the two big dogs had a litter of 6... As long as they were well fed, they could grow to a big size, as tall as adults, and they were a good helper in fighting. Sister Marcy should like it!"

Seeing this, Marcy's appearance gradually emerged in Daren's mind - Marcy is one of the three village boys who are like Gene who are attracted by Eddie's talent, and she is the only girl! She looks good and has a slender neck, especially when she is carrying a long bow, she looks very handsome and upright!

[He is a very excellent girl...] ​​Delan touched his nose with some guilt.

Nervous is certain.

But Enid had already done all the homework that he should do in detail and had prepared a gift for him to meet. I don’t know where this little girl got the energy? In short, there was no reason for Daren to retreat at the last moment.

There is more than that on paper:

"3. Next is Lydia! Green-haired Lydia! You must have seen it, the daughter of Aunt Kelly in the grocery store... Lydia is two years younger than you and will become an adult next year. I often go to the grocery store to buy seasonings, and we two have long been good friends. Don't speak too loudly, she will blush easily..."

"Lidia is very yearning for the legendary big city and always wants to see what the bustling streets look like. She likes fresh and fragrant wild flowers and shiny little things! The pebbles on the red abate river are stringed into a red bracelet, which will be a great gift... You dare not go to the riverside, so I prepared a bunch of them in advance... In addition, the garlands of wild flowers can also be selected, you can leave them until next time to send them to her, if Lidia doesn't dislike you!"

"4. Laura, granddaughter of Grandpa Conrad, the winery shop: Sister Laura is one year older than you, I am not very familiar with it. There are very few people in the village playing with her... She seems to be devoted to brewing, and it will depend on your performance at that time... But I know a gift that will definitely make her look at you with admiration..."

"At the edge of the forest in the dark valley, a spherical flower grows. I vaguely know its effect - the juice of the petals is soaked in wheat beer that can precipitate the impurities of the beer, and the remaining wine tastes more refreshing! This flower seems to be called hops..."

While Daren lowered his head to review the notes, Enid had already pulled him and Diana to the laundry room.

Sometimes, even if you have a strategy, you may not be able to win.

"Sorry...what did you say just now?"

In the laundry, Marcy, who had just smiled a little when she received the puppy, suddenly frowned when she heard Daren's words: "You don't plan to be an adventurer anymore?"

"……Yes."

"I just envied that your father is a great man! He is an intermediate adventurer no less than Lord Eddie! But my father is just a cowardly laundryman... You don't know how much I envy you for being able to grow up by listening to adventure stories... I didn't expect that you had such good conditions and were so unambitious?"

"Dalen, I haven't talked to you much before, but I've heard of your awesomeness. I know that you have defeated Hans more than once, and I have admired you a little... But when I met today, I realized that what I heard was not reliable."

"We are not suitable!" Marcy stood up slowly with her neck straight, like a proud white swan, holding the table and shook her head, "I always say something, I won't date an ordinary person... I'm sorry, so let's just talk here, don't say goodbye, anyway, I will leave the village this winter and never come back... And the Lagas dog you sent, do you want to take it back?"

The girl's attitude changed so quickly that Delen was a little off guard.

"A gift is a gift, and it will not be taken back."

Daren shook his head and stood up and left.

——————————

But more often, the role that an insider can play is huge.

In the afternoon, grocery store.

"What a beautiful red bracelet!" The girl with light green ears and short hair was very happy. She took it with her hands, but didn't know what she thought of. Her face, which was slightly fat, quickly filled with red and cute apples, "Dalen, thank you, thank you!...How do you know that I like shiny things?"

"Ahem... It's a coincidence." Daren almost told the other party that this was a gift prepared by Enid himself. He pinched his thighs hard before he could hold it back.

Thinking of Enid's advice, Daren quickly talked about the topic of "big city".

"I heard that the statues of the light in big cities are very large! Under the power of the goddess, there will be no monsters in a large area nearby, and people live and work in peace... I really want to go and see..."

"Really? I want to! I've seen the statue of the Belita Market, wow, it's as high as the roof."

"I may not stay in one place for a long time in the future. I may travel to various parts of the mainland and see different scenery. I heard that there are endless lakes like the sea... I want to find where it is."

"Really? I also want to be a carriage merchant. My mother taught me how to do business, but I don't want to stay in the village all my life. It's great to be able to travel to the mainland!"

"Ahem... I might bring Enid with me when I traveled to the mainland."

"Hey? Dear little Enid? That's even better...I can't wait to set off with you..."
