Chapter 265 What Do You Want To Be In The Future?



The entire main town was surrounded by big brick walls as well, but there were small groups of houses surrounding the brick walls as well, some of them were taking care of their own plants and making up farms. I don\'t know if they sold the vegetables or consumed them themselves though.

"What a pain, we have to wait a while…" Sighed my mother. "I wish we could just fly and enter."

"Well we technically can but we shouldn\'t do that." Said my father.

"Yeah…" Sighed my mother.

We had no other alternative than to wait. And as we waited I looked into the people in the line. There were all sorts of humans I had not seen before in this world, but they all looked oddly enough the same as the ones I saw and meet from my previous life, young adult hunters carrying big prey they just caught in the nearby forest, greedy and fat-looking merchants looking at everything as if it could be a potential profit maker, entire families coming through carriages by themselves, perhaps travelers or merchants.

And even adventurers, groups of four to six members that were all armed with different weapons, armors, and clothes, they all looked like they fit different roles inside their groups by merely looking at their weapons and clothes. So these are humans… Well, they look just the same as my previous life, but I had never seen adventurers before, they certainly stand out a lot from the more normal crowd, as they wear more expensive clothes and wield weapons in variety. Seeing a young priest girl with a big and burly armored man was a strange sight to behold.

"Well, well, there\'s a lot of people around here, isn\'t it?" Said my father. "I guess you kids can get a good view of how varied humans are out there." My father seemed proud of something normal. Aquarina and Zack quickly ran to my side and looked through the window as well, their eyes shone brightly with light filled with amusement. I guess my reaction to this people and the town faraway was rather boring as I wasn\'t as excited as these children.

"Ooohh! So many people!" Said Aquarina, suddenly pointing her finger to a group of adventurers. "Who are those people? They look strong!"

"Those are an adventurer party, they often go out to hunt monsters, or explore dungeons to gain their keep." Said my father. "It is a free-living profession where people simply go out and hunt monsters to live, they often gather other materials, and can also help in other things around the town, they\'re like freelancers to be honest. But the adventurer guild gives them benefits, the higher their rank in that thing, the more benefits they get, they can also accept works from people that leave certain requests in exchange for money or other prizes… I did live as an adventurer for  a small time, I can\'t say it was anything good, most adventurers are dirt poor and barely not homeless."

"Of course, you kids can be whatever you want when you grow older, but I would prefer if Sylphy worked in something that paid well so she can become an independent person. We won\'t be able to provide you with money all your life after all." Said my mother. "So I was thinking in letting you work as a teacher eventually, you\'ll have to learn a lot though."

"Eeeh? A teacher? I want to explore the world, not get stuck in a classroom…" I sighed.

"Well you can always explore the world while teaching! You don\'t know how needed magic teachers all around the world are, anywhere you\'ll go that has people will have a generous offer for your teachings. Also, learning alchemy through it will also be profitable so you can create your own products to sell one day… Crafting and Blacksmithing could be learned, you\'re very talented." Said my mother, she seemed enthusiastic about me becoming an all-rounder and master of all that both traveled and taught people… I cannot say I dislike the idea, she\'s right in various things, and I might end up doing as she said at the end… But not without enjoying myself beforehand!

I also actually want to be an adventurer, smacking some monsters for money seem like the easy way to go than teaching kids or something… But it is not like I dislike kids, so I would still enjoy teaching them at the end I suppose, it is all a matter of circumstances, we\'ll see what happens in the future when the future comes.

"Huh, I\'ll see what I do, mom… You don\'t have to plan my entire life…" I sighed.

"R-Right… Sorry, that wasn\'t really my intention. I just had said I would let you be anything you wanted…" Said my mother while she caressed my head gently.

"I\'ll become whatever Sylphy becomes in the future, so I\'ll stick with her… If she becomes a teacher, I\'ll be her secretary or something!" Said Aquarina.

"Ehhh?" I asked in surprise. "Aquarina, you don\'t really have to… You can be anything you want to be, don\'t feel forced to stay at my side…"

"But that\'s what I want to be…" She said while pouting and blushing a bit. "I\'ll stay with you forever…"

"I-Is that so?" I wondered. She was a little girl yet, so whenever she develops she\'ll probably change eventually… Well, she had been saying similar things since she was like two years of age, but I am sure that she\'ll change eventually and realize she got dreams of her own…

…I hope.
