Sein.
You have stayed too long.
You shouldn't just stay in our ordinary Village for a lifetime.
You are a priest with great talent!
Become a brave adventurer!
Embark on an unknown journey!
Help those in need!
Achieve extraordinary experiences!
This is what you should do, Sein!
[But...]
Sein!
Don't hesitate, don't think!
Don't let ordinary days drag you down!
The Village chief calmly looked at Sein.
Under the Village chief's meaningful gaze, Sein also gently nodded.
All-in is a kind of wisdom!
Sein slowly placed all his chips on small.
At this moment, the outcome of the gamble in Sein's heart was no longer important.
He would resolutely join Yulian's team.
Their eyes were the same as the gorilla warrior's back then—eyes full of dreams and hope!
He had already missed one chance!
This time, he chose to grasp destiny with his own hands!
"Besides, isn't this how fate is arranged?"
Sein chuckled slightly.
The dice rolled in yesterday's gamble were 5, 6, 6, a total of 17, which is large.
What else could this be but destiny's arrangement?
"I didn't expect you could actually convince him."
Frieren looked at the grinning Sein, then turned and whispered to Yulian.
In just one night, Sein, who was strongly resisting joining the adventure, successfully joined the team?
Frieren was greatly shocked!
"Actually, it's not bad..."
Yulian looked strange.
He also didn't expect the Village chief to say such astonishing words just to win a few chips.
Anyway, Yulian couldn't say such things.
"Sein!"
"Be careful on the road!"
"Come back and see us if you miss home, I'll always be here!"
Sein's older brother, the priest in the Village, was clutching a handkerchief and couldn't help but burst into tears.
His dear younger brother had finally embarked on a journey. Theoretically, he should be happy, but facing the separation, an unspeakable feeling surged in his heart!
"Okay, big brother!"
Sein laughed boisterously, a sense of heroic spirit naturally arising.
This journey is the Goddess's arrangement!
We will surely return with a full harvest!
"And Village chief, you also take good care of yourself!"
Looking at the other person standing at the entrance of the Village, Sein laughed and waved.
"Mhm!"
"Sein, take care!"
The middle-aged man in blue clothes smiled and gently waved goodbye to Sein.
For a moment, he felt a bit reluctant.
After all, with Sein gone, it would be hard to find another gambler and drunkard who shared his tastes...
Speaking of which, I really shouldn't have encouraged him to make up his mind for just one or two silver coins...
Alas...
The Village chief sighed slightly, while Frieren and the others had already walked away.
...
Era of Peace, twenty-nine years later.
Northern Lands.
Raad Region.
The melodious sound of bells echoed through the city.
Reminding people that it was already noon.
At noon, the originally bustling crowds on the street slowly thinned out with the ringing of the bells.
Those eating were eating, those napping were napping.
This small city had a sense of relaxation independent of the Northern Lands.
"How strange, suddenly there are so many fewer people."
Fern looked at the gradually decreasing crowd around her, showing confusion.
"It should be because of the bells..."
Frieren smiled faintly, pursing her lips.
"In this small city of Raad, due to its geography, its summer is relatively hotter than other places in the Northern Lands."
"People have the habit of taking a nap to avoid the heat for a while."
"So that's how it is!"
Fern's eyes sparkled.
Thinking to herself, as expected of Mistress Frieren, she has never lost when it comes to knowledge!
"So amazing!"
Stark, on the other hand, directly exclaimed in admiration.
"Then should we find an inn quickly..."
Yulian glanced at the sky.
The sun also became 'larger' with the ringing of the bells.
"But..."
Fern hesitated slightly.
According to the plan, they were supposed to split up after entering the city, with her responsible for purchasing supplies with Stark.
"As for supplies, let's buy them in the afternoon."
Sein smiled slightly and offered a suggestion.
The others also agreed without the slightest hesitation and began looking for an inn.
"Do you have to talk about me like that!"
"Always bullying me!"
"Am I that bad!"
Stark's indignant shout echoed within the inn, attracting the attention of many passersby and travelers who looked upstairs.
Yulian, who had just returned after purchasing supplies, also looked upstairs with a bit of confusion before heading up.
"Stark..."
Just as he reached the hallway, Yulian met Stark, who was running down from upstairs in a huff.
Unfortunately, Stark seemed to be in a fit of anger and didn't notice Yulian, who was carrying large and small bags, at all.
"What's going on? Why is he so angry?"
Yulian looked at Stark's angry retreating figure, feeling quite helpless.
"Never mind, I'll go ask Frieren."
Yulian sighed and continued upstairs.
But after only a few steps, he saw Fern coming down the stairs with a puffed-up face.
"Fern, what happened..."
...
Yulian didn't finish his sentence and wisely closed his mouth, even quietly shifting his feet a few times, afraid that Fern would vent her anger on him.
"Hmph!"
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Fern walked down the stairs, her back slowly disappearing from Yulian's sight.
"What's going on, what's going on!"
Yulian couldn't help but quicken his steps towards Frieren's room.
All I did was go buy something, okay!
They were perfectly fine when I left!
"Alright, I also need to prepare a gift properly."
Yulian had just arrived at the entrance of Frieren's room.
When he heard Sein's voice coming from Frieren's room.
"Did something happen?"
The door opened.
Yulian blinked his large, curious eyes and looked at Sein.
He didn't want to step on Fern's landmine because he missed something.
Mama Fern is very fierce when she's angry!
"Oh, Yulian."
Sein looked at Yulian, who was carrying large and small boxes, smiled, helped take the items into the room, then waved goodbye.
"Ask Frieren, I have to leave first."
"What? So urgent?"
Yulian looked at Sein, who was leaving in a hurry, feeling confused.
"It's Fern's birthday today, and Stark didn't prepare a gift..."
"So Fern is angry."
Frieren quietly got up from the ground.
She had been squatting on the ground just now, rummaging for something, but it seemed she didn't find it.
"I see..."
Yulian scratched his head.
"Men, as creatures, don't really pay much attention to anniversaries and birthdays anyway..."
"Is Fern perhaps a bit too angry...?"
Yulian asked tentatively.
Speaking ill of Fern?
Impossible, okay!
My Mama Fern cannot be wrong!
But!
Putting subjectivity aside, Yulian felt it was still necessary to look at the issue objectively.
"Mhm..."
"She did go a bit overboard."
Frieren nodded helplessly.
"No matter how Stark explained, Fern didn't listen."
"Also..."
After speaking, Frieren quietly raised her eyes and looked at Yulian.
"What?"
Yulian curiously touched his nose and looked behind him.
Fern didn't come back either?
"Why do you all say the same thing?"
Frieren looked helpless.
"What, what's the same?"
Yulian blinked his large eyes innocently.
[Men, as creatures, don't really pay much attention to anniversaries and birthdays anyway,] this..."
Frieren said softly.
"Ah, this..."
Yulian thought for a moment.
"Did Stark or Sein also say the same thing?"
Frieren nodded gently.
"Then perhaps it's because that's just the way it is."
Yulian smiled slightly, looking a bit helpless.
