First Chapter. Carol’s hometown.
Before becoming an adventurer, Carol was an ordinary girl who lives in the town of Colon on the border of Amst.
Originally, she lived in the capital city, but after her mother became ill, her family moved to the rich natural Colon.
Carol loved books.
She also liked going into the forest with her father who had worked for the royal palace as a pharmacist.
“Because I go in and out of the forest so often, I remember that the townspeople looked at my green hair and eyes and laughed saying that I got stained with the color of the forest.”
When she grew up, Carol began to help his father's pharmacy, and also delivered medicine to the people in the town.
Carol thus grew up surrounded by abundant nature with her family and loved towns people.
However, her mother was originally weak, and died when she was twelve years old.
Carol and her father decided to continue the drugstore in the town where her mother sleeps, despite their grief.
The townspeople often care about them, who have lost one member of their family.
Having been comforted by such love and care, when Carol came to be able to remember her mother without pain, his father suddenly died in an accident.
At that time, Carol was sixteen years old. She became completely alone.
The people in the town were very worried about Carol. So she decided to continue with the store of her father on her own.
At that time, Gran appeared in the town of Colon.
They said they were adventurers that encountered a monster in the forest near Colon.
Monsters are usually not close to the village. They like the deep parts of the green and thick forest and rarely come out.
Monsters coming out is obviously an abnormal situation and dangerous. Depending on the type of monster, the town can easily be destroyed.
When they heard that there was a monster nearby, the people in the town became noisy. Seeing the angry people, Gran said with a loud voice.
“Please rest assured. The monsters have been exterminated. There is no threat to this town.”
A low sweet voice that appeases people. Blond soft hair and blue bright eyes, and a gentle expression.
He said he was a hero and was traveling with his three friends.
The mayor of Colon tried to give them a reward for the monster extermination. However, they refused saying that it was only done to raise their rank.
“If we report to the guild that we have defeated a monster, our rank will go up, so it’s not a completely free service.”
If the rank is higher, you will be able to receive a request with a higher reward. Gran says that they’re still young and inexperienced, and that they’re traveling because they want to be able to make money quickly.
However, for the townspeople, he was a benefactor who quickly exterminated a threat to the village.
Ordinarily, when a monster appears near the town, the mayor asks a guild, and adventurers like them are dispatched from there. But while waiting for an adventurer to arrive, the town can be severely damaged or even destroyed.
The residents of Colon thanked Gran very much and they quickly became heroes who saved the town.
Gran then stayed in the town for a while and came to Carol's store, the only drug store in Colon.
It seems that Gran's party does not have a healer. That's why he came to buy medicine, saying that recovery medicine is indispensable for the trip.
"Are you running this shop alone? It's great to be young"
Gran was surprised to know that Carol was running the drug store alone.
“Can I buy a little bit of this recovery medicine and give it a try?”
Gran says that and looks into Caro’s eyes. His blue eyes shined in gold, and Carol was impressed.
There are no such fine looking men in the village. Carol opened her mouth, feeling her face hot from embarrassment.
"You’re our benefactor. If you want to try the medicine, I will give you some free of charge.”

This feels so much worse then the manga...
I mean how would they know about a monster in an area they rarely inhabit if no one in the village had reported it.
