As a result of my efforts over the past three days, my quick aiming and high-speed reloading skills have reached level 2.

It was very tiring and difficult, but it was worth it.

If you continue to work hard like this, you will soon be able to reach the highest level of 10.

‘It’s a bit noisy outside.’

Today was the day I left the village, so the villagers gathered in front of the village chief’s grandfather’s house.

I put on my street clothes, packed my bags, and came out of the house.

As soon as the villagers saw me, they rushed to greet me and tried to give me gifts.

I was grateful, but since there were a lot of things that were difficult to store, I politely declined.

However, I couldn’t refuse all the favors, so I compromised by only accepting small amounts of preserved food in boxes or containers and snacks that I could eat right away.

‘They are really nice people. If you don’t want to go on adventures, it’s okay to continue living in this village.’

I was sad to part ways with the people who had shown me almost infinite kindness, but I didn’t want to just settle down and live here.

Now that I have a new life, I want to travel the world, experience various things, and enjoy it to the fullest.

“Rebecca. I will pray that the God of Creation’s protection be with you.”

“Thank you, Rebecca!”

“Please stop by our village again!”

I was seen off by the villagers and boarded a wagon heading to a city called Franca.

Although I only stayed for three days, it felt like I was leaving my hometown.

It’s truly shocking to think that such good people were almost exterminated by the beast race.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have set up a demon or something.

“Thank you so much for being so good to me. Stay happy everyone.”

I said goodbye to the villagers as soon as the wagon departed.

I hope you live happily without being tormented by demons for the rest of your life.

However, the riding comfort of the wagon is literally the worst.

There is almost no shock absorption, so my butt already hurts and I feel motion sick.

The funny thing is that my pain tolerance rose to level 2 due to motion sickness.

Fortunately, the coachman was considerate of me and gave me plenty of time to rest.

He is a truly grateful person.

As I was taking a break and looking at the road, I saw that there were more people using the road than I expected.

Most people used horse-drawn carriages or carts, and there were quite a few people walking.

Most of them were people traveling alone or in families, and these people were armed with cold weapons such as bows and spears.

And in cases where there were a large number of people moving at once, like at the top, adventurers were hired.

Since I have to visit the Adventurer’s Guild anyway, I think I should become an adventurer and make money.

If you want to make money, you can join the Knights Templar as a soldier, but I don’t like that because it just feels like a soldier.

“Get out of the way!”

Suddenly, someone passed quickly on a horse and gave instructions to the people.

Then people naturally parked their carriages on both sides of the road and waited.

It looked like an ambulance was passing by, but what was coming was not an ambulance but drivers.

‘There is no such thing as an ambulance in this world. But it doesn’t seem like they were the knights who saved the village last time.’

I was bored so I used my analysis skills on the knights.

Along with his status as a knight, his race and gender were roughly indicated.

The knights are made up of various races, but there is not a single short race like the dwarves.

Perhaps there are regulations such as height restrictions.

The knights were all armed with magic rifles, long swords, and cavalry spears, and all secondary weapons were magic pistols.

The magic rifle has a revolver structure like the magic pistol, so the loading method appears to be the same.

However, because the gun barrel is long and the caliber of magic bullets is large, it is expected to have a much longer range and higher firepower than a magic pistol.

The knights were wearing unusually shaped plate armor like the knight commander I met last time, and when I used my analysis skill, I was able to figure out that it was lightweight magic armor.

I’m not sure what magic armor is, but it’s definitely enough to block magic bullets, so I guess I’ll spend a lot of money, say a salt coin, to get it.

I’m sure he carries a long sword and a cavalry spear because he needs to use them.

“Ah, it’s truly an honor to see you guys again.”

The coachman looked up to the drivers, and so did the people around him.

I felt this before too, but public opinion toward the Knights Templar is much more favorable than I thought.

Commoners respect knights, and knights do not treat commoners carelessly.

Even the ruling class seems to follow certain lines and protect the people with a sense of duty.

Listening to the stories of people around me, I learned that children dream of becoming knights, and adults also taught their children to follow the example of knights.

‘It’s fortunate that people with power are exemplary.’

When I created this world, I set the political part to automatic.

It’s because I didn’t want to complicate things for no reason.

Still, I felt fortunate that it was made in such a good way.

‘If all powerful people were evil, humanity in this world would have become extinct a long time ago. But it looks like that driver has some business to see to me.’

I felt nervous for no reason as I saw a knight approaching me.

Do I look too suspicious?

The knight commander said he would tell me in advance, so you can rest assured.

“Excuse me, but could you show me your ID and magic weapon possession permit?”

what? Has the knight commander’s order not yet been delivered?

I’m sure they won’t be arrested for illegal residence and illegal weapon possession.

Something big happened. Maybe this is good?

“Well… I lost it yesterday while fighting the beast tribe.”

First, I covered it up with lies mixed with the truth.

It is true that we fought against the beast tribe, but there was no registration certificate to begin with.

I wish I could just ignore it, but when I look at the driver’s eyes, my suspicions seem to be deepening.

Fuck it, I’m not really going to be taken to jail if I do this.

“Driver! This person saved our village from the beast tribe. Here is the proof. And here is the village chief’s certificate.”

The unexpected driver came out.

The coachman presented the village chief’s certificate to the driver who was suspicious of me and showed him a bundle of magic cores in the luggage compartment.

“Hmm. The young lady’s magic remains in the magic core. Okay, I will trust you.”

Lived! Thank you, coachman!

It was a much more tense moment than fighting the beast tribe.

In that short period of time, my back became damp with cold sweat.

“Hey… Where can I get a reissue?”

“Please wait here for a moment.”

The knight who became friendly towards me rode towards the leader.

After chatting with someone there for a while, he came back to me, leading some soldiers.

“The vice-captain has given orders to escort you to the government office. Please accept the vice-captain’s favor.”

The knight began to use polite language.

This time, it was not the leader, but someone called the vice-leader who gave orders to take good care of me.

Is this because he is the hero who saved the village? Well, good things are good things.

“I will gladly accept it. But what should I do if I don’t know how to ride a horse?”

“Don’t worry. You can ride behind me.”

With the help of the knights, I got on the horse and grabbed the waist of the knight in front of me.

The driver looked shocked, but since they were of the same gender, it wouldn’t be a problem.

The driver handed me a bag containing my share of magic cores and politely said goodbye.

I headed to Franca escorted by a knight holding a flag symbolizing the Knights Templar and four ordinary soldiers.

As I was escorted by the knights, people around me turned to look at me.

It was a bit burdensome, but it didn’t feel bad.

Anyway, thanks to the knights, I passed right through the checkpoint and entered the city.

The city is surrounded by thick walls and guards stand on guard duty.

The brick-paved road was crowded with carriages and people, and three- to five-story buildings were built in rows.

‘Unlike the village, the city feels closer to modern times rather than the Middle Ages. There are streetlights in the transparent glass windows, and there are also things like vans driving around. And I like that the roads are clean. If the cleanliness setting is a cheat, it is a cheat.’

The first thing I felt when I saw the city of Franca was that it was vibrant.

People’s faces were always full of smiles and their appearances were relaxed.

Seeing children laughing and running after the knights and people walking around the streets with peace of mind somehow makes me feel good.

While I was looking around the city, I had already arrived in front of the government office.

There were many civil servants in government offices, and there were a reasonable number of civil servants to respond to them.

Seeing the familiar figure made me feel like I was back in the old world, and something didn’t suit me.

‘Still, I’m glad I fell into a world where administrative skills are in place. Considering that I asked to see your ID card from the beginning, I guess it’s only natural.’

I followed the driver who gave me a ride into the government office, and without waiting in line, I was able to sit right in front of the official in charge of ID related work.

The strict-looking civil servant was suspicious of me at first, but after hearing that there was a guarantee from the vice-captain and then hearing my name, his attitude changed to a very positive one.

Fortunately, the words of the knight commander seem to have reached government offices in advance.

This knight must have escorted me all the way here because it also reached the vice-captain’s ears.

I think it’s worth doing a good deed without losing anything.

After submitting all the relevant documents, I watched the government official create an ID card and a magic weapon possession permit.

I thought it would use some kind of magic, but I just made it all by hand.

“This is Rebecca’s identification card and magic weapon possession permit. Always carry it on your person and always respond to the Templar’s request for identification.”

The official gave me precautions and handed over my ID card and magic weapon possession permit.

Because it was such a familiar design, I felt reluctant again, but I guess it can’t be helped.

Anyway, I officially became a citizen of the United Empire of Humanity, the only human nation in the world.

‘It’s kind of funny that there is only one country. Should I have touched on the political setting as well? No, no. ‘If you just live without getting involved in politics, it doesn’t matter how many countries there are.’

Okay, what is politics in my personality? I have to go sell some hemp cores.

You clearly said you had to go to the Adventurer’s Guild, right?

“Driver. Where is the Adventurer’s Guild?”

“It’s not far from here, but I’ll take you there myself.”

“Thank you!”

The driver did me a favor once again.

Thanks to this, I didn’t have to ask people for directions and went straight to the adventurer’s guild on horseback.

The Adventurer’s Guild was located in the commercial district on the west side of the city and was a large five-story building.

When I went inside, there were quite a few adventurers, all of whom had magic guns, and many of them were armed with cold weapons.

As expected, it seems like they are preparing for a situation where magic bullets run out.

Among the adventurers, none had the traditional wizard style.

Perhaps, with the creation of magic guns, wizards who used to fight by memorizing magic spells disappeared and entered the practical field? I wanted to see a wizard like that, but it’s a bit disappointing.

“Welcome. How can I help you?”

A short, cute-looking receptionist kindly welcomed me.

Because they use analysis skills, they are said to be dwarves.

As I set it up, dwarven women are short and look like elves with short ears.

Anyway, it’s a bit harsh to only have a drum body with stocky proportions.
