Chapter Seven: The Ordeal of Rookies

In Royal Capital Altea, in the front of the Adventurer’s guild — Paladin Ray Starling.

After we had taken the quest at the adventurer’s guild and began getting ready to go to Gideon, Rook spoke up and raised his right hand.

“You can leave the means of travel to me,” he said. There was a pale, gem-like object on his hand.

“What’s that?” I asked.

“It’s a ‘Jewel’ — an item where you keep your monsters,” he answered. “It’s the reward I got for my modeling.”

Rook began explaining. In the process, he also answered a certain question I’d had while looking at his skills.

Being a Pimp, he had a skill that strengthened his underlings, and seeing that had made me curious about what happened to them outside of battle.

Since we were players, we would return to reality every now and then. Thus, I wondered what his little minions would do while we were away. I was saddened by the very idea of a player who stopped playing after having left some monsters or slaves in a cage or something.
