"Wake up Shiro," Crystalia said as she patted her head.

"U-ugh… What happened? Was that all a dream?" Shiro muttered as she groggily got up from the bed.

"What dream? What are you talking about hun?" Crystalia asked her worriedly.

"N-nothing mom…" Shiro said as she realized it was all a dream.

'Thank god it was a dream, I can't stand Kias being like that…' She thought inside her head as she went to the bathroom to wash her face.

…

"Hmm? What was that I wonder. She looked like she just saw a nightmare," Crystalia muttered to herself as she went to go make Shiro breakfast.

"Chase! Wake up! It is almost time to open!" Crystalia shouted at Chase who was still sleeping on his bed.

"Ughh! Would you keep it down Crystalia! Why are you so loud in the morning? Just let me sleep… What if you wake up the customers that are sleeping above?

"They're already awake! Besides, I am helping them if they're still asleep! I wake them up so they can go to do their jobs and gain money! Instead of being lazy and late all the time!" Crystalia shouted at Chase.

"What do you mean!? Literally, everyone who lives here is an Adventurer! Or someone who is just traveling!" Chase replied.

"Well, the earlier it is, the less stronger monsters there are! And for those traveling people, maybe if they wake up they can sightsee more!" Crystalia retorted.

"Fine! Let me go wash my face then," Chase said as he got out of his bed.

"Alright, make sure you tell Shiro to come eat breakfast before she goes with Kias," Crystalia reminded him.

"Yes yes, I got it," Chase said as he went into the bathroom.

…

"Can those two lovey-dovey's keep it down? I am trying to sleep and regain my energy here! ow ow ow ow ow," A random man said as he laid on his bed with injuries.

"What do you mean weaker monsters! They are still strong!" He said as he tightened the bandage around his leg.

"As for sightseeing, what the hell could you sightsee here? There is nothing! This is literally just a normal place!" He complained as he laid down on his bed after tightening his bandage.

"Ugh… If only I could get stronger… These monsters aren't weak at all…" He said as he closed his eyes.

What the man lost to were goblins, literally one of the weakest monsters in the world. He doesn't know how to fight at all. Thus causing his downfall of an injured leg.

Most adventurers are like this, they see the rewards and benefits. But they don't realize what they need. In order to have rewards and benefits, they must risk their life as well.

And tantamount, most adventurers don't even know how to fight. This is the reason why there is an age requirement to become an Adventurer unless you can prove yourself that you are able to take care of yourself.
