Rick’s dream is met with skepticism

The episode starts with Reanette observing that Rick remains composed as they wait for news, despite his earlier panic. Rick explains that his mind has wandered, leading us to a memory of a younger Rick engrossed in the Legends of Yamato stories.

As a gamer, I’ve heard the legend of Yamato and how he was no match for the formidable Kaiser Alsapiet. He put his faith in future explorers and heroes, believing they would triumph over this monster. But when I shared my dream of becoming an adventurer with my parents, their skepticism made me question if I truly had what it takes.

Rick’s parents advise him to aim for a respectable career, which unfortunately clashes with his cherished dreams. Later on, a doctor reveals that Rick has a unique trait in his makeup. Unfortunately, this skill cannot be developed through learning, so Rick is left with no choice but to be patient and wait for it to surface.

Rick, full of enthusiasm, expresses his dream of being an adventurer again once he develops the necessary skills. However, as the years go by, Rick’s abilities fail to materialize. Although his friends urge him to seek employment and earn money in the meantime, Rick’s motivation stems from a deeper desire – he longs to follow in the footsteps of Yamato.

Rick meets Reanette, an S-Rank adventurer

With great delight to his parents, Rick eventually lands a job as a receptionist at a guild. However, despite his efforts to showcase his abilities while immersed in the Legends of Yamato, Rick fails to make any progress. Fast forward through the years, and Rick’s longtime friend, Zaid, who frequently embarks on adventures, informs him that he has been promoted to the rank of B-Adventurer.

On his journey home, Rick offers his congratulations to Zaid. However, deep in thought, Rick ponders over his own life. Satisfied with his secure employment, he can’t help but wonder what could have been if he had chosen the path of adventure instead.

When Rick comes to, he becomes aware of a large troll creating chaos. A woman approaches just in time, leading Rick to protect her from the troll. To his astonishment, this woman, revealed to be Reanette Elfelt, swiftly eliminates the troll. Reanette then identifies herself as an elite-level adventurer.

Rick shares with her his aspiration to overcome Kaiser Alsapiet and reveals a hidden talent of his. He wonders aloud if he could succeed as an adventurer, starting at the age of 30. Reanette responds that it would be a challenge due to his insufficient magical powers.
