Synopsis
Hello! My name is Pastel, a 16-year-old adventurer, mapper and poet. I am also in charge of recording our quests. Our party is 6 people and 1 animal. Clay the Warrior, Trap the Thief, Rumi the Elf, Kitton the Learner, Nor the Giant, and Shiro-chan and the White Dragon. Everyone's level as an adventurer is still low, but I'm doing my best.

We decided to go back to our hometown and meet our family, so that we could relax once in a while.
