Reborn in another world as a Hermaphrodite

Once again, Alex had to wait.

It took another hour for the two girls to be done with their alchemy homework.

"We're finally done with homework," Mary complained as she leaned back in her chair.

"Mom, what are we doing next week that we need to finish homework this week?" Alex curiously asked.

"I'll tell you guys more about it on Sunday, okay?"

Katherine once again avoided answering the question, just like everyone else they tried to ask.

"Mom, are we going to go out now?" Sophia hurried, having already finished packing all her work into her backpack.

"Of course. Come on, get ready. We're going to go sign up to be an adventurer."

Alex and Mary immediately shoved everything back into their backpacks, rushing back to their room along with Sophia.

When they came back out to the living room, they were fully dressed in their outdoor clothes.

"Let's go!" Mary excitedly yelled, with the other two looking just as excited as her.

A few minutes walk later...

As the four of them stopped by a building, they could see a bold adventurer guild written right above them.

Hundreds of people were walking in and out of the guild, with the front desk having a long line before them.

Fortunately, there was a separate line for signing up, which was empty as they walked straight to the other front desk.

"Ma'am, are you signing up for the upcoming event or the registration to be an adventurer?"

The front desk lady asked, seemingly busy writing something on a piece of paper.

"I'm signing up to be an adventurer for my kids."

The front desk lady didn't bother looking up once again as she handed over three registration forms.

"Hand it back when you're done."

"Okay, you guys fill this out yourself... Don't fill in the personal information part."

After filling out most of the registration forms, Katherine took back their forms before signing her name as the guarantor.

As soon as Katherine handed the paper back to the front desk lady, she seemed a little shocked when she looked up to get the paper.

"L-Lady Katherine?"

"Ahem, I don't want to cause a scene. You understand me, right?"

The front desk lady instantly shuts her mouth before taking out a small little machine.

"Sophia, come up. It needs your fingerprint. Just put their thumb here."

After all three of them took turns putting their thumbs on the machine, the front desk lady handed them an ID card with their names on it.

"Thank you."

As Katherine brought the three of them to the other side of the building, the three kids' hearts beat fast.

They couldn't believe they had finally become an adventurer.

They had always grown up hearing Katherine's bedtime story, going on a fascinating journey as an adventurer.

"Let's go get your guy's first missions."

As the three followed Katherine to a machine, a display table immediately appeared in front of each of them.

In it, they could see various kinds of missions, from slaying a monster that had been harassing nearby villages to finding a lost cat in the city.

"Since you guys are at F rank, you guys should only pick the lowest rank missions, okay?"

Much to the kid's disappointment, the lowest-rank missions were almost all manual labor.

But after looking for a while, Alex finally found something that made him a little intrigued.

"Fighting slime in the swamp village. Mom, can we do that one?" Alex pleaded, despite it being a mission one rank higher than them.

"Yeah, Mom, can we do that one? We don't want to just carry boxes around the city," Sophia pleaded.

"Mom, please!"

With Mary dealing the final blow, Katherine reluctantly nodded to let them take the mission.

A popup suddenly appeared that requires an Adventurer ID with the rank of at least E.

All three of them turned over to Katherine, looking at her with glowing eyes.

With a swipe, Katherine accepted the mission for them before the three of them swiped their card as well to add themselves to it.

"Mom! You're S rank——"

"Shush, do you want us to be trapped here?"

Katherine quickly covered Alex's mouth, stopping him from finishing his line as people in the guild turned towards them for a second.

After seeing nothing was going on, they turned back to their business, and Sophia and Mary looked just as shocked.

"Come on, we're going to finish this mission before dinner time."

The three quickly followed Katherine out of the guild, not mentioning what they had seen earlier until they were outside.

"Mom, Mom! How did you become an S rank?" Sophia curiously asked.

"You just need to do a lot of missions," Katherine answered as they continued walking down the street.

After walking for a while, they began heading toward the city's exit.

"Wow... The outside looks so barren," Mary murmured, as the outside was the polar opposite of a lively city.

There were layers upon layers of snow on the side of the road, and everything was white across the plain ahead.

"Well, it's December. Usually, in the spring or summer, you can see a field of greenery."

Fortunately, as they walked down the road, the layer of snow on the road itself wasn't thick enough to make traveling impossible.

"How far is this swamp?" Mary impatiently asked.

"It's about a ten-minute walk from here——"

"Wait, how is there a swamp in the middle of a snowy season?" Sophia asked, with the other two just realizing it as well.

"You'll see."

After walking in the snow for a while, the three finally see something different.

It was an almost muddy landscape, with almost clear cuts separating the snow from the swamp.

Even the sky above the swamp had almost no clouds as if it were a completely separate world.

"Why does this side have no snow?" Alex questioned as they entered the swamp land.

"Because there is an active volcano below us... And magic."

"A volcano?"

All three of them looked even more confused as everywhere they looked was just a bunch of swamp land.

"Just be patient."

As they continue walking down, they finally see a village ahead.

But rather than what a typical village looked like, it was a bunch of almost levitating houses built on top of shallow waters.

Katherine took a short turn, clearly not intending to walk into the village itself as they continue down the path.

After walking for a bit, they finally understood why Katherine said it was an active volcano.

A small hill ahead of them had a massive crack, with a small amount of lava jumping out of the hill arch.

More importantly, they could see a bunch of red slimes jumping out of the crack, turning green after rolled down the hill and into the mud water.

"They are resistant to fire and water-type spells."

As soon as Katherine finished talking, all three of the kids stepped into formation, with Sophia being in the center.

The groups of slimes soon noticed the intruder and started bouncing towards them as well.

Every time the slime bounced into each other, they merged, forming a bigger and bigger blob of slime.

Yet, the three remained focused, still casting their spell as the slime was still hundreds of steps away.

A orb of light began to merge above all three of them, becoming bigger and bigger until Sophia finally directed towards the slime.

With a blinding bang, the slime was instantly shattered into pieces, with a small little red orb lying on the floor.

"Now, this is the hard part... Someone has to get that orb to bring back as proof of completion."

The three of them looked at each other as if they did not want to step into the muddy water.

But in the end, Alex volunteered himself to step inside it and walk all the way to the slime corpse's body.

After picking up the orb, he quickly began to walk back before more slime appeared in the distance.

"Mom, does this slime ever finish disappearing?" Sophia curiously asked as more kept coming out of the volcano.

"Nope, it's just an endless slime coming out of there."

"Then what's the point of clearing them? They seem to be just sitting there."

Mary pointed out after noticing the slime just doing nothing in the distance.

"They become a problem when there's too many of them. Just imagine millions of them in a giant blob."

All three of them imagined it, shaking their heads to get the image of a city-sized slime out of their heads.

"This mission is just to reduce the population once in a while. Anyway, you guys need ten more to finish the mission."

The three of them immediately got to work, reusing Alex's strategy of gathering all the slime together, with Sophia and Mary casting spells.

Just as the sky was about to get dark, they finally finished gathering all ten slime orbs for the mission.
