By the Grace of the Gods

Ryona Takebayashi meets a group of distressed travellers in the forest, and decides to save them.

It turns out that the travellers Ryoma saved were the local duke and his family; impressed by Ryoma's various skills and enamoured by his personality, they offer to take Ryoma along on their journey.

Ryoma and the Jamil family travel to Gimul, a mining town; there, Ryoma and Eliaria take the first steps in becoming professionals in their crafts.

Ryoma arrives at Miya's house, overflowing with trash from a nearby dump.

Eliaria and Ryoma practise magic and combat in Gimul against the weak but numerous monsters now infesting the abandoned mine shafts.

The Adventurer's Guild sets up a large-scale group of adventurers to deal with the massive monster infestation discovered in the abandoned mines.
