The Great Sage Who Did not Remain in Legend - 39.2

“What did you say—”

“You said it yourself. And you don’t even know where they are now, right?”

“Shut up. It’s true, but it pisses me off when others say it.”

“Cisco and Vanessa have known each other for a long time?”

“No, I just thought there was a dirty, poor girl at the coming-of-age ceremony.”

“What did you say?”

“Both of you, stop it. Cisco, don’t be rude just because she’s family.”

“But it’s the truth.”

“Cisco, you’ve got guts. I’ll give you a good beating tomorrow.”

“I’m using a bow from the start. Don’t die.”

“What did you say?”

“Both of you, stop it.”

Rikka scolded the two who had started arguing.

“Sorry about this. They’ve always fought easily.”

“And they live together well despite that?”

“Well, there’s a reason for that. They have separate bedrooms, so it works out.”

“If Iris joins, will there be enough room?”

“There’s another room we use as a storage. It’s full of Vanessa’s junk now, but I’ll have her clean it up.”

“Instead of cleaning, she should just throw everything away. It’s all garbage.”

“It’s not garbage! It might be useful someday!”

“It’s full of broken magical tools and incomprehensible stuff. That’s garbage, garbage.”

So Vanessa is someone who can’t throw things away.

“I understand that Vanessa was poor. Could it be that Cisco is from a wealthy family?”

Vanessa muttered, “Don’t say poor so clearly.”

“Cisco is the daughter of a large merchant house.”

“Then why are you a hunter?”

“Because it’s a hassle to stay at home. The employees fawn over me awkwardly, and those desperate for promotions try to hit on me even though they don’t like me. The merchant house is taken over by my younger brother, so it’s no problem if I’m not there. And as a hunter, there’s no one to worry about me.”

And with that, she glanced at Vanessa.

I see, they fight but it’s not uncomfortable for them.

—The Coming-of-Age Ceremony Vanessa and Cisco Attended—

There were some very dirty girls there.

Cisco thought this looking at Vanessa.

Tch, there was an unpleasant rich-looking woman.

Vanessa thought this looking at Cisco.

Then, the two reunited at the Hunter’s Guild.

“Hey, you’re graduating from apprentice today.”

“I see, Vanessa has finally come of age. But…”

The receptionist looked at Vanessa’s chest.

“What’s wrong?”

“Well, even though you’re of age, you still look like a child. Here, you’re graduating from an apprentice and getting a real hunter qualification. Do your best to earn.”

“Leave it to me!”
