This is "The Raging Kelpie's Tail Fin Tavern," an adventurer's establishment in a port town.

Into this unremarkable adventurer's establishment, where down-on-their-luck adventurers gather, an innocent, pure-hearted child inexplicably appears.

The bewildered proprietor. Adventurers keeping their distance. Startled clients. And the child, gradually growing worldly-wise.

Like a pebble cast into water, it spreads ripples, gradually transforming the adventurer's tavern.

———This is the story of one child becoming an adventurer.

"Heh heh heh! Adventurers, I tell ya, it's a foregone conclusion they're all no-gooders!"
