The 7-Year-Old Adventurer

I moved to the reception room to register as an adventurer. I wondered why it had to be the reception room, but I quickly understood the reason.
I registered as just “Arius” instead of Arius Gilbert. I thought it would be troublesome if people found out I was the son of the Prime Minister. But…
“Hey, Gray. This name Arius, could it possibly…”
“Gignus, I don’t think it’s appropriate to pry into the adventurer’s background.”
Serena interrupted and silenced Gignus. It seemed like Gignus had realized that I was the Prime Minister’s son.
Well, it’s not surprising that they knew the name of the Prime Minister’s child. Darius and Reina were former adventurers and used to be Gray and Serena’s companions. If anyone related to the Adventurer’s Guild knew about the four of us, they could easily guess who I was from the name Arius.
“Yeah, you’re right. My bad. But if we were to be adventurers in Ronaudia, wouldn’t it be revealed soon?”
“No, we’ll be leaving Ronaudia, so it’s not a problem. The dungeons in this country are not challenging enough for us.”
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it have been better to register as adventurers in another country? It would be rare for someone in another country to know the name of the Prime Minister’s son. Well, it’s my convenience, so I can’t complain to Gray and the others.
“You know, Arius, it’s more convenient for us to get the exception recognized in the Ronaudia Adventurer’s Guild.”
As if she had read my mind, Serena whispered… Well, it’s not like she suddenly whispered. Serena is a beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes. It would be bad if she suddenly whispered something.
Both of them seem to have realized that I am a reincarnator, but Serena treats me completely like a child. Well, it can’t be helped since I look like a child.
“Darius was granted an exception at the age of 12, and the Ronaudia Adventurer’s Guild has always been flexible when it comes to age. Besides, Grandmaster Gignus doesn’t pay much attention to us.”
So they registered as adventurers in Ronaudia to push it through by force. But Serena’s explanation didn’t really convince me.
I could enter the dungeon with Gray and Serena even without becoming an adventurer. There was no need to go through the trouble of getting an exception recognized.
While I was thinking about that…
“Hey, Arius. Now you’re also an adventurer. We can form a party as fellow adventurers, not as a tutor and student anymore.”
“Huh…”
“Why are you surprised, Arius? Of course.”
Serena smiled mischievously. This is something I heard later, but apparently, Gray had his own reasons for not fighting alongside me until I became an adventurer.
Gray and Serena acknowledged my strength and made me an adventurer so that we could form a party together.
Well, even now, I know I’m not at the level where I can join Gray and Serena’s party. But I was genuinely happy to be recognized by them.
“By the way, Arius. If you’re going to join our party, you don’t need to use honorifics and you can call me Serena.”
“That’s right, Arius. Call me Gray too.”
There was no reason to refuse their invitation to join the party.
“Hey, Arius. If we’re going to form a party, we’ll use first names and no honorifics.”
“That’s right, Arius. You can call me Serena too”.
“Uh… I understand, Serena.”
“Yeah, that’s fine. Arius, let’s continue working together from now on.”
That night, I informed Darius and Reina that I had become an adventurer and would be forming a party with Gray and Serena.
They didn’t oppose it at all. I guess they trust Gray and Serena, or maybe it’s just parental foolishness after all.
No, I’m not really belittling my parents. It’s just that the way these two unconditionally dote on me in this reincarnated world is a bit uncomfortable. They should have noticed that I’m a reincarnator too.
I think I can talk about my past life when I died at the age of 25 to these four people without any problems. But the fact that they don’t ask about it means that they accept me regardless of my past life.
I don’t intend to be bound by my past life, so I don’t plan on mentioning it now. It might bring up lingering attachments if I talk about it.
Once I grow in this world and can objectively think about my past life, I want to talk to everyone about it, even while having a drink.
“But Arius, promise me one thing. It’s fine for you to become an adventurer, but don’t forget that you have the option to inherit the position of the Prime Minister of the kingdom.”
Darius says with a serious expression. The position of the Prime Minister of the Ronaudia Kingdom is not hereditary. However, the current king trusts Darius a lot and apparently wants his son, me, to be the next Prime Minister.
“In the end, it’s up to you what you want to do, Arius, but don’t voluntarily limit your future choices. So, while being an adventurer, I want you to continue studying and enroll in the Royal Magic Academy when you turn 15.”
To inherit the noble title in Ronaudia, graduating from the Royal Magic Academy is a mandatory requirement. And the Magic Academy is the setting of the game ‘Love Study Koigaku.’
In other words, it’s a coercive force aimed at me, Arius, who is one of the capture targets in ‘Love Study.’
“Of course, I will continue studying. I don’t plan on being too stubborn about it.”
I’m not interested in the world of otome games, but I don’t mind attending the academy. Besides, it’s still eight years away, so I haven’t thought about it seriously yet.
By the way, Darius apparently graduated from the academy at the age of 12 as an accelerated student before becoming an adventurer, but I don’t have that intention.
