When Ize opened her eyes, the world was still draped in dim, gray light. For a fleeting moment, she wondered if it was raining — the gentle morning sun had been a regular guest of late — but the canvas wall just inches from her face quickly reminded her where she was. She sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, and quickly checked over her adventurer gear. Satisfied, she crawled out of the tent on all fours. The campsite was still and quiet. Neither Hal nor Fieda were up yet.…-

Roughly an hour after receiving the Treant branches, Ize detected a group of Gold Jackets rapidly approaching within her Perception range. “About twenty of them, coming from the front,” she reported. “…That’s more than we’ve faced so far,” Fieda muttered, narrowing his eyes. “Don’t worry. I’ll blast them with wind as Ize works on her magic,” Hal reassured, flashing a confident grin. “Thanks, Hal. They’ll be on us in fifteen… ten…” Ize’s voice remained…

When Ize woke the next morning and stepped outside, something felt… off. She squinted at the clearing, her eyes flicking from tree to tree, searching for the source of her unease. Hal and Fieda, already awake and seated at the table, noticed her strange behavior. “What’s up?” Hal called out. “…Something’s different,” Ize muttered, still scanning the area. “Different how?” Fieda asked, brow furrowed. “Give me a second. There’s something on my map…”…

The inn known as Sage’s Table was one of the most popular lodgings for adventurers. It had always been a favored spot, but lately, the place had grown even busier. The reason: A steady stream of new dishes that had become the talk of the town. It wasn’t just adventurers anymore; locals and travelers alike came seeking a taste. By nightfall, most adventurers had retired to their rooms, resting up for another day of Dungeon exploration. Yet, at one particular table, five men remained, their…

Morning came, and Ize changed into her nicer off-day clothes — tailored trousers and a crisp shirt,. As she stepped out from behind the folding screen, Hal was already dressed, waiting for her. “How about we go shopping for dresses or skirts later?” he suggested. “I dunno… do I really need them?” “Just one isn’t enough, is it?” “But I’ll be spending my rest days on horseback practice for a while. When would I even wear them?” “Good point, but…

“Hmm… yeah, it’s a little bigger than Hiro,” Hal remarked as he sized up the horse. “Hiro’s coat is gray, right? What about this one?” Ize asked, stepping closer. “Chestnut, I think,” Fieda replied, running a hand along the horse’s neck. “And the name?” Ize prompted. “Haven’t decided yet. You two want to name it?” “Uh… Hal, your time to shine!” “Me!?” “Well, it’s still up to negotiations with the owner. If things go well, just have a name…

One week before Ize’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony, after returning from their latest Dungeon exploration and taking a long, refreshing bath, Hal sought out Etta. “Miss Etta, I have something I’d like to ask. Do you have a moment?” “Oh my, what’s with the formality?” Etta turned to him. “Well, if you don’t mind talking while I do the dishes, take a seat at the counter.” “Thank you.” With that, Hal pulled out a chair at the counter, settling into a spot where he could…

That single word echoed in Ize’s mind. “Ize.” Before she had even processed his approach, Hal’s hands — warm and steady — enfolded her own cold, motionless fingers. “Ize, look at me.” She heard him. Yet her body remained frozen, locked in place by a tension she couldn’t shake. Hal let out a sigh, shifting his weight. “Guess I’ve got no choice, huh?” And with that, he crouched lower, settling directly into her line of…

Spring had begun to take hold, its gentle warmth seeping into the air, and the sunlight spilling through the window above the bed was almost dazzling in its brightness. Ize stretched languidly as she sat up, the motion causing Hal to stir awake in almost perfect sync. “Morning, Ize. And happy birthday.” “Thank you. And good morning to you too.” Hal let out a quiet chuckle at her oddly formal reply, the sound barely disturbing the tranquil morning. He rolled out of bed and…
