Episode 130 [Twin Adventurers 1]
That was when we had only recently become bronze-class adventurers, and I was introduced to Ren and the others as Chloe's acquaintances.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Jin and I'm having a party with Chloe."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Rei! And it's my older brother, Ren, who is unfriendly to me. Nice to meet you!"
“Don’t finish introducing people without permission, that’s fine.”
When we first met, my impression of the two of them was that Rei was still a cheerful girl, but Ren was more of a cool guy than someone who could tell at a glance that he wasn't good at socializing.
When the two were introduced as twins, they both had the same red hair color and black eye color, but Rei had bright eyes and Ren had stern eyes, so I thought they didn't look alike. .
"Is it Jin-kun? How old is Jin-kun now?"
"I'm 12 years old. What about Rei and the others?"
"She's 14 years old. She's older than us! But if you're Chloe's friend, you don't have to use honorifics!"
"Thank you. I don't usually use it, so that would be easier and more helpful."
While thanking him, I looked at Ren, and he said, ``I don't mind either,'' and received permission from the two of us to talk to each other on the same day we met.
“Now that I think about it, I heard Chloe-chan, were you okay with being used as a decoy by your friends?”
"Yeah, Jin saved me when I was being chased by monsters."
"Wow, that must have been a very fateful encounter. Please tell me the story in detail!"
At this time, Rei and the others had traveled a little far away on a request, so they didn't know about Chloe's incident.
So we had a good topic of conversation, and we were able to deepen our friendship a little on the day we met.
“Jin-kun, how was your first conversation with an adventurer of the same age?”
"Well, it was fun. Maybe because she's Chloe's friend, she treated me like a friend from the beginning."
Rei in particular has a friendly personality, and we quickly became friends.
Well, Ren said he wasn't good at socializing with people, so he only said a few words in our conversations and then read a book, but he didn't seem to be a bad guy.
“I mean, why did Chloe end up with such strange people even though she had friends like that?”
``After I joined the party, I met Rei-chan and the others, and because of the number of people, I couldn't have Rei-chan and the others in, so I didn't form a party.''
"Of course, if there are too many of us, we won't have any role in the party, so for now, the two of us are enough."
When I actually met them, I felt they were nice guys, but I didn't even think about inviting them to join my group.
Since she's Chloe's friend, I thought at the time that she was a game character that I had forgotten about.
So I spent some time trying to remember if Rei and the others were characters that appeared in the game, but I couldn't find any similar characters.
"Hmm, the fact that you can't remember after all this time means you're completely from this world..."
Honestly, it's been a month since I was introduced to him before I started to think of him as someone from this world, and at that time I was so busy with various things that I didn't have a chance to talk properly with Rei and the others.
So when we met for the first time in a while, I decided to ask Chloe what the two of us liked and bring them as gifts.
“Eh, is this from Jin-kun? Even if I get a good one!?”
"Ah, I heard that Rei likes sweets, so I bought some at a candy store that sells them in the royal castle."
What I gave Rei were sweets from a famous confectionery shop in the capital.
As commoners, we can't even go in and out, but we asked the princess and got the right to go to the store.
That store sells items to increase your favorability in the game, and I used to use it a lot, but each item was expensive and I didn't have enough money even if I tried to make money.
It was still expensive in this world, but it was still affordable.
"Wow, I've been wanting to get some sweets from this shop someday! Thank you, Jin-kun!"
"If you were that happy, it was worth it for me to bring it. So this is it for Ren."
"……Book?"
"Oh, I heard that Ren likes books."
At that time, I gave Ren a book for the first time.
When I gave him the book as a present, I gave him a random book on medicine, thinking it would be useful as an adventurer, but I later found out that Ren loves books so much.
"Thank you, Jin. I'll cherish it."
Instead of his usual calm demeanor, Len seemed a little excited as he thanked me while holding the book tightly.
