The Tutorial Is Too Hard

I cleared all the messages that plastered were in front of me.

Given his personality, the messages would come in constantly for a while.

“You know your task, right?”

“To investigate the lake where the anomalies occurred.”

Raising her glass again, Sicia said she was glad that I knew this.

“So, is there anything I need to know about the research task?”

I asked Sicia to tell me something important.

Sicia shook her head with a red face caused by the wine that went to her head.

She was less tolerant of alcohol than I thought.

“Nope, nope. We’re not actually a research team. We could just wait in the base and Yata will take care of everything, don’t worry about that. And……”

“And what?”

“I should have asked about your ability, I’ll do it tomorrow. Anyways, you have more alcohol tolerance than me. Ugh, I’m drunk now.”

After saying that, Sicia stood up from her seat and staggered to her room.

According to what she said, Sicia had formed a fixed team with the person called Yata.

I followed Sicia who kept walking to ask her more questions.

I asked whether she had teamed up with Yata before.

“No, never. Another person had been with us before he left. Mister, you are new here, so it’s natural that they will arrange for you to be our team.”

I nodded my head and asked her about the people that had quit.

“Could you tell me something about the person who had left, kid?”

Sicia screamed instead of answering me.

“Why I am a kid?!”

I was just joking.

“Then how old are you?”

“15!”

She was totally a child.

I had been talking and drinking with a 15-year-old child?

It was shocking.

I thought she was at least 20 years old.

“Fifteen, you are indeed a kid.”

“I said I’m not a child.”

Sicia protested for herself by raising up the wine bottle in her hand.

Did she really think that the people who wore little and could drink were adults?

“Okay, Okay, kid.”

“I said I am not.”

“Okay, you’re a kid.”

Sicia sputtered and argued that she was an adult, and then, she returned to her room panting.

[Why did you squabble with a child, Warrior?]

That’s what I wanted to ask, why did I do this?

It was a useless exchange.

Of course, I was also a little sad when she called me ‘Mister’, but it didn’t matter, I just forget it.

[I think both of you are kids……]

In order to shut the holy sword up, I opened the inventory and pretended to throw the holy sword into it. Then I entered my room.

I sat on the bed wrapped in my thoughts.

I was surprised that Sicia was only 15.

She looked young, but I didn’t think she was only 15.

None of the summoned contractors I saw as I entered the accommodation after exiting the carriage appeared to be Sicia’s peer.

On the contrary, there were some people who looked even older than me.

Maybe she is always regarded as a child and that’s why she reacted sensitively when I called her ‘kid’.

I was also surprised that she contracted with the church and became a summoned contractor who had to perform tasks at her age. Regardless of her identity of a summoned contractor, I knew she was extraordinary since I sensed her mana.

The next thing that I pondered about was summoned contractors in general.

To be honest, I’m worried about the mission.

KiriKiri said there would be no big problem and I thought the solo stage couldn’t be too hard as well.

By contrast, I wanted to know more about the summoned contractor and the apostles that are related to them.

Perhaps God hoped the challengers who cleared the tutorial to become summoned contractors.

After killing the monster on the earth, the summoned contractor can help to deal with the problems of another world if they had spare time.

This was plausible.

I accosted Ahbooboo who was a little angry because I threatened to throw him into the inventory.

Ahbooboo is a gift that the God of Light granted to the people.

Although his character is somewhat flawed, he knew the Gods and the church very well.

I asked Ahbooboo if he had any information regarding summoned contractors.

[The summoned contractor? You’re not a summoned contractor?]

Ahbooboo said that with surprise.

“… Obviously, I’m not.”

[You were summoned in order to kill the demon king when I first met you, so I naturally thought you were the summoned contractor. Although your tasks were somewhat strange……]

So… Ahbooboo always regarded me as a summoned contractor till now.

But it made some sense to think so.

Even I had lots of questions about the tutorial system, stage, waiting room, and messages, but he never doubted those and never felt incongruous.

Based on partially interpreted information, he understood and accepted all these situations.

[Summoned contractors are not special. They are just those who have signed contracts with the church, then summoned by the help of God and performed tasks. They’re the same with people from other worlds. You can call them summoned contractors, warriors or dimensional mercenaries, etc.,  but they are all essentially the same.]

After listening to Ahbooboo’s explanation, I lie on the bed and took the time to sort the information.

He didn’t tell me this before when I asked him.

Hearing about the summoned contractor and the fact that they signed a contract with the church, the information was unlocked and therefore the holy sword could finally reveal that information.

I organized the information heard from Sicia and Ahbooboo today.

I decided to gather more information tomorrow and concluded my thoughts.

I knew I couldn’t fall asleep till morning, but I still closed my eyes and decided to take a break.

I was able to recognize the problem when I closed my eyes.

Without any warning, a message appeared in front of my mind.

However, ordinary people could easily fail to realize things that appear on the side of their view in an emergency.

Because of that, there is always a signal before a message appears.

It doesn’t need to have a gorgeous effect or a sound.

It just needs to make people aware of it.

No matter how many people want to ignore it, but once the new message appears, people must focus on it.

It is as if the message reading is mandatory.

Therefore, when I close my eyes and prepare to have a rest, my vision became dark, and the message appeared constantly is very annoying.

[The God of Light is extremely unhappy.]

[The God of Light is extremely unhappy.]

* * *

[The God of Light is particularly satisfied.]

[The God of Light wishes you a bright future surrounded by beautiful and glowing lights.]

After I was forced to make a promise with the God of Light, the message bombing stopped.

I decided to tell Sicia that I signed a contract with the God of Light as soon as I meet her tomorrow morning.

Then I felt that the world was quiet and I pulled the quilt over it.

[The God of Adventure silently became sulky.]
