"I'm So, So Sorry!!!" The girl shouted, embarrassed, as she bowed a lot of times. She was apologizing because of what she did to Grim. Grim, on the other hand, was slouching back and caressing his jaw which hurt.

He flinched back a little because of the pain. To be honest, it was a high-quality kick made by a young teen-looking girl. Grim was impressed.

The girl saw that he flinched and she started sweating due to her nervousness.

"H-here! Let me help..." She spoke to Grim. She then closed her eyes and clasped both her hands and whispered a prayer.

Suddenly, a bright light shun in her hands and then after a second, it disappeared.

Grim went to caress his jaw only to feel no pain.

"Huh...thanks..." Grim muttered.

"N-no problem!" She said as she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sup Grim." George piped in.

"Where were you?" Grim asked curiously. Somehow, George disappeared when the girl kicked him in the jaw.

"I asked someone how to remove Cilian mushrooms properly." George informed him.

"Oh..." Grim replied. George then looked at the girl who was wearing a nun's outfit and near Grim.

"Who's the nun?" George asked.

"Uh, my name's Yu, sir!" Yu introduced herself to George, nervously bowing a lot again. "I'm so, so sorry for hurting your son!"

George did a spit take from hearing that. He leaned slowly towards Grim and whispered.

"What happened?" He asked.

"She got scared when I bumped into her and did a roundhouse kick to my jaw." Grim whispered in reply.

"Huh..." George muttered.

"I-it's all okay now though because I already healed him!" She replied with a hint of relief and satisfaction.

"Why's she sweating...and she's a healer?" George whispered to Grim.

"She's nervous, I think she has a shy demeanor like the one Mileena? has...also, she's a follower of Sarusi." Grim replied.

"Sarusi?"

"The goddess of light...or mostly known as the goddess of divine healing."

"Ohh... aren't you a god? And do you have followers?"

"Yes...no" Grim answered.

"Hey, Yu, what happening here?" A voice came. A boy most likely the same age as Yu appeared. The boy had a slender stature, only being taller than Grim by an inch or two. The boy had the same skin color as Yu...which was glistening white. The boy also had short black neat hair. He was wearing some leather armor, leather boots, and a brown ragged scarf while having a bag behind him. He had a sword in his left and a round wooden shield in his right.

"O-oh, I-chan!" Yu said to the boy, slightly blushing.

"Chan?" George recomposed his stature and asked.

"She's Trisian sir. Or rather, half Trisian and half Bologn." 'I-chan' replied to George's question.

"Elaborate please..." George leaned to Grim again and whispered.

"Basically, this world's Japanese or Asian...Bologn is this world's European." Grim replied, whispering.

"Oh, what's your name again?" George then asked 'I-chan'.

"The name's Isaac sir!" Isaac introduced himself with a toothy grin. "I-chan is the nickname Yu gave me..."

A blush appeared in Yu's face.

"Ok...well now that you guys have introduced yourselves, it would be rude to not introduce ourselves now." George said. He then introduced himself with a polite tone. "The name's George."

"Grim." Grim replied bluntly and bored, raising a hand.

"Nice to meet ya!" Isaac replied with a smile. Yu merely waved her hands shyly. "So, what rank are you guys?"

"Bronze." Grim and George both replied at the same time.

"Same!" Yu and Isaac both replied at the same time as well.

"Wanna form a temporary party?" George asked.

"Sure! The more the merrier!" Isaac said. "By the way, what are your classes? I'm a warrior and Yu here is a healer."

"Well..." George tried to think of something before realizing that the class part of his adventurer id or card was blank.

"We're mages" Grim was the one who answered.

"Oh cool!" Isaac exclaimed while Yu just stared in amazement.

"W-what can you do Grim-san?" Yu asked.

"I can cast elemental spells and...teleport." Grim informed the two. 'Better not say I'm a god and that I'm super powerful yet'

"Woah..." Yu was visibly amazed, her eyes widened with amazement. "How about you, George-san?"

"I can...summon a demon..." George answered with much honesty. 'I'm a mage? maybe more like a summoner'

"Woah" Yu's mouth opened with more amazement. Stars were in her eyes.

"C-can you call them?" Yu asked.

"I think she's busy doing something." George replied. Yu was visibly disappointed but did not ask George to force her to come.

"Wait...I must ask this. How old are you guys?" George asked the two.

"I'm 13 and Yu is 14!" Isaac replied loudly.

"..." George didn't reply. 'What...'

"..." Grim didn't reply as well. 'A 13-year-old is taller than me...'

George looked puzzled while Grim looked sad. George then tried to change the subject.

"So, what quest shall we do?" He asked.

"We could do some Cilian mushroom collecting quests." Isaac suggested.

"Speaking of Cilian mushrooms." Grim started, not looking sad and depressed anymore, he looked at George. "How do we even gather them?"

"Well, you-" George was interrupted by none other than Yu.

-"What? Expecting someone else?"-

"To pick them up without breaking them, you must first carefully remove the dirt around them. Then you can slowly pick it up without breaking nor destroying them" Yu explained to Grim.

"..." Yu was met with silence as Grim and George didn't reply. She then got a little bit embarrassed.

"Now let's pick the quest." Isaac spoke up as he looked for one in the quest wall. He then picked one that had a reward of 1000 silver coins and a difficulty of a bronze rank.

"Here!" Isaac showed the poster to both Grim and George. "Gather 100 Cilian mushrooms!"

"That seems good." George said. "I mean it's just picking up mushrooms. Not kill wolves."

"Yeah, seems good. It won't be that hard..." Grim paused. "Right?"

"Well, it gets easier the longer you do it. So, it won't be a problem with the two of us here!" Isaac said.

"Ok, let's do this!" George exclaimed excitingly.

Meanwhile, near them. Two adventurers were just watching the four. One had a mace on his back and the other had a bow.

"Hey, Tyler..." The one with the mace asked.

"Yeah, Zack?" Tyler replied.

"Doesn't that seem weird to you?" Zack pointed to George talking to Grim, Yu, and Isaac. "He seems like he's a pedophile, talking to children like that."

"Just ignore them, Zack, I don't wanna cause trouble." Tyler said as he downed a drink.
