Isekai Yururi Kikuo~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer

Idle talk I

I’m Isaac Risner.
I’m the vice captain of Shirin’s branch’s second Knight unit.
The captain I work under is Grunwald Ruven, an honest man who can’t stay idle for a minute. He’s a musclebrain who charges at everything without thinking.
I should be an assistant of the captain, but it always ends up with me doing all the paperwork.

「Captain!」
「What? Why are you so flustered」

While working in the office, I see a figure of a person walking to the town gates from Gaya Forest, so I report while flustered.
No person passed this gate leading to the Gaya Forest in last several days.
All gates except this west gate are usually used to get out of the town. If you miss the highway and come to this gate, you would be coming from northwest or southwest.
However, the figure I see is coming from the west. It’s coming straight from the Gaya Forest.
There are occasionally some reckless people who go to the Gaya Forest, but they would be someone coming from the town, we would be able to confirm their identities.

「Isaac, I will go take a look」
「I understand. Please, return properly. If not, you won’t be sleeping tonight」
「……… I know」

He was already restless, he wanted to escape from the work.
I approve, allowing him to take a breather from work.
Captain decided to go to the west gate and wait for the person in question.
After a while, Captain returned back to the office.

「Captain, what happened?」
「He apparently went out to gather some medicinal plants. Moreover, he even took two children with him」
「… Children, is it?」
「Yes. Two little ones were with him」
「………」
Just a naive youth. Is what I’d like to think, but that youth apparently successfully returned from Gaya Forest with medicinal plants.
If it’s like that, he must have a considerable ability.
Unfortunately, he just arrived here from a village and didn’t belong to any organizations or guilds so we couldn’t identify him.
Well, it turns out like that when you don’t have identification papers.
Because I didn’t have that much interest at that time, I ended up forgetting about that youth.
However, Captain apparently had another encounter with that youth and the children.
And because he had an interest in that youth, he requested him to join the subjugation expedition in Gaya Forest.
I found out later that day.

Really, Captain is always so selfish…… letting children participate in a request with the overbearing adventurers, how foolish!
Thinking about the place we are going, I begin to worry.
Nevertheless, because an official request can’t be turned down, they ended up participating.

「Ah, oi!」

It was after entering the forest for a while.
Cain, one of my subordinates points his finger and shouts in panic.
When I look towards the direction… aren’t those children charging at a Red Wolf?
Hey, wait a second, please! Why are you running that way!?
Haa!? The boy kicked the Red Wolf from below, a splendid kick.
Eeeeh!? Why is the Red Wolf’s body lifting up!? It’s a kick of a child, you know?
Even though the monster is on the smaller size, it’s still twice as large as the children?
This time, the girl drop kicks the Red Wolf from above!?
The Red Wolf has been blown off!!

…………

What has just happened? Didn’t they just easily defeat a C-Rank monster?
Those small children? I feel like I have just seen something outrageous.

「「Defeated~!」」
「Ah, un. Good job~ Are you unhurt?」
「Un」
「Ok~ay」

The two children return back all smiles while dragging the Red Wolf behind them. Looking at the situation, this seems to be the usual occurrence.
I’m glad they are not hurt, but…… it was probably not just me who felt helpless just a while ago.
