Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

"Hello everyone, I\'m Lizzy. A bigger healer who likes cooking.

First of all, I would like to thank all of you here because this is my first time having people like this around me that I can talk this much freely with.

Truthfully speaking, I\'m an orphan from the holy kingdom and I grew up in the slums there in my early childhood days.

Back then in that filthy place, I was just like some little kid that had no one to be with and no close person to talk to. But, then I met a certain person that helped me and showed me the little talent I had, the powers I never knew I possessed, and things that I never knew I could do.

But then they vanished all of a sudden on a cursed day, leaving me alone once again.

I don\'t know who they were, or… strangely, I don\'t even remember how they looked.

Still, I clearly remember their warm presence and that voice that was just too different from any voice I have heard till today.

Haaa… I don\'t know why I\'m telling these things like this but, somehow I feel you all understand how I feel.

I owe a great lot to that person and thanks to them, I was able to get out of that place, earn some money, get a little better life, and when I got to know about this place, I thought of giving it a try and see if the little unique gifts I have could be honed further, and used in a way that it could help the world.

After hearing you all, I at least know even after being of different origins, you all have had your own unique difficulties and challenges in your lives.

I know you all are already more amazing than this little young me, so I would love it if you help me with all the things I would greedily ask for, and teach me many basic things that I\'m oblivious to.

And I\'m pretty sure I don\'t know many things, many common things even. Just like Miss Quin.

I\'m taking (Insight to Healing), (Humanities), (Cooking), (Science of Life), (Makings of support magic), and (Origin power harnessing) classes. 

I have an origin skill but I don\'t know how to properly use any of the innate skills that I have so if you can, please help me with that too. I would be heartily grateful to you all."

She bowed before them, and there was a surprise on their faces.

They weren\'t expecting she would tell them something personal and on top of that, the fact that she was from some slum place.

The reaction she would have gotten from any other group of people would have obviously been something much more different and definitely negative.

She would have been cursed, disrespected, or looked down upon if it was some other higher class group of people but, she knew, and they knew it too, that the group around them was nothing like the common people that they would see or usually deal with.

They were special themselves, had unique personalities and interests, and more than anything, they were also house captains that the great ancient tree behind them had chosen from the hundreds and thousands of people.

This group was different, and though Med wasn\'t a house captain, she certainly was no less than the people around her.

Lizzy had even guessed their cute Med probably had the most accepting personality. Which was true to some extent too.

She was a good person, a young noble that was from a wealthy family and still ate the amazing food prepared by two amazing people like some normal person that was eating the best meal of their entire lives.

She was cute, her first friend Zoe was amazing, her big sister Carla was admirable, and her brother Alfred was also very humble even with all his genius and talent.

Her fellow house captain Quin was unique and sweet, the one she would struggle with, knight Chryses, was also a gentle person.

And lastly, the two most unique people she met today, the one sitting beside her, Miss Uriel, and her amazing partner that created all these amazingly beautiful delicacies was the most \'different\' person she had met today.

They all were unique on their own, and she didn\'t know why even after living in a hellish place like that, she could feel the people around her had, strangely but surely, lived through their own hells and are still struggling there, something different from her.

Their hells were inside them, while she had escaped the physical hell that bound her for probably not even as long as their hells were restraining them.

They were special people and now she wanted to be with them even more than she was previously thinking.

But still, she couldn\'t accept them completely just yet. Maybe because of that dirty past, but she was still not ready to accept anyone completely in her life.

She had lost one, and she was still not yet ready to lose someone just as close and special as them.

"Awwwww Lizzy…"

Rein hugged her from one side and Zoe joined in from the other side. Wrapping her from both sides.

"You have suffered. But don\'t try to suffer alone anymore. Drag us in your troubles. We will help you wherever you want, dear."

Zoe\'s words were strange but they were as effective as always. And this hug from her \'friends\' sparked something warm inside the heart of the healer that would later spark warmth inside the hearts of the helpless.

This moment, this lunch table, would be the start of a unique friendship that would first create many new waves in this great academy, and later, throughout this entire world.

But that was for later. Their lunch wasn\'t finished yet so Eon looked at this warm scene before him for a moment, and then shook his head with a happy smile.

"Alright, alright everyone. Now that we have finished the introductions, let\'s have our desserts while continuing with the chat.

We only have a little while left before the first personal classes so we should go early. Being late for the first class isn\'t very good, right?"

He was looking at Rein while saying that last line as he reminded her how she almost wasted most of their time this morning.

She also knew what he was saying but she would do it again tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, and this fiancé of hers wouldn\'t have any choice but to wait for her with that same cute expression he had this morning.

It was the greatest fun seeing him like that for her, and the smirk she gave him told everyone about this fact.

"If you are thinking I wouldn\'t do anything if you do something like today every day then just remember the special ice cream, your favorite chocolates, and that certain thing you love so much are all in my possession.

Do something like that again and say goodbye to them for at least a week."

He was smiling as a reply to her smirk and the smirk on her face instantly transitioned into a frown of dislike.

"Bastard. Hump!"

She turned her face from him and moved a little towards her cute Med.

She was trying to act angry but that just seemed cute and funny to people around her so they all started laughing.

"Huhuhu."

"Hahaha…"

"Hehe, Uriel is cute."

"Hmmm, true true."

"Usual Uriel, hehe."

"Mhmm."

Med also wanted to laugh like everyone but Rein in was holding her, and her cute anger was a punishment for Med as this new friend of hers was strangely stronger than she looked. 

That grip and arms were quite something… 

"Alright then. What sweets do you all like?" Eon asked, and everyone around him swiftly shifted their attention from the two girls and looked at him, and shouted in almost perfect harmony.

"Hot ice cream~!"

"Orange milkshake with fresh ice cream!"

"Strawberry cake!"

"Mint chocolate chip cookies for me."

Those were Zoe, Carla, Alf, and Chry, and their answers were instantaneous. And though not as quick as them, the other three also spoke up after them.

"Ummm, I like ice cream too but prefer the rolled ones that chef uncle used to make with fresh strawberries."

Med was finally able to speak up when Eon forcefully pulled Rein away from her and made her sit there properly. 

And this scene surprised everyone there again, but they were used to this peculiar couple by now.

"I like hot chocolate the most, and one that\'s still warm and served with fresh cream is precisely something I would like at this special moment."

Lizzy was smiling at Zoe and everyone else but others were too focused on Eon to respond to her happiness.

"For me-"

"I already have the thing you talked about yesterday."

Quin was speaking up but he cut her off midway and her eyes widened as soon as she heard him.

"Really?! But how?! The ingredients-"

"Don\'t underestimate the inventory of countless things he has, Quin. This bastard has almost everything and if he doesn\'t, he somehow knows how to get it. Hump! Bastard!"

Quin was surprised again and Eon was giving his partner a helpless look as if she was a headache he couldn\'t help but enjoy.

"Alright."

But then he shook his head with a sigh that wanted to kiss his partner and started taking out things from his storage space, his unique white crack.
