This is my first story ever published. I figured I'd do something easy and fun to read, and hopefully it is fun enough that I can keep writing it! I hope you enjoy! Please feel free to leave me (gentle) feedback! Thank you <3
CHAPTER 1: The Strongest
"My name is Kimimi Mimiko, and even though I just turned 18 years old, I've never even had a boyfriend! Gosh! I've always been really strong! My mama said that I was gonna become the hero that would save the whole world from the demon king; but, I never really wanted that. All I've ever wanted was to have a normal life full of romance!"
"That's nice ma'am, but uh… All I asked for was your name."
"Ah- Right."
Now that I have come of age, today is the day that I become an adventurer. Even if it's not what I wanted, I'll somehow find love while beating the demon king!
"Filling out your paperwork is just the first step on one's path to becoming an adventurer." The guild's representative explained, "Of course, after getting one's details, the next step is called "Judgement." During the Judgement phase of an adventurer's journey, a novice adventurer is paired with a veteran to join them on a C rank quest. Leading you on your Judgement will be Alfred Mox, an A-Rank adventurer with the ranger class."
As if on queue, a young man appeared before me, tall, handsome, just my type! He had a bit of an older face, some silver in his sideburns, but a kind smile. The scars on his face only made him MORE handsome! Oh, be still, my beating heart… "Hello there, I'll be watching over you for now, so no need to be scared. As long as you've got my bow around, I'll make sure no harm comes to you." And so polite! My heart feels like it might jump out of my chest! Such pretty brown hair, and slender muscles. I feel like he could just carry me off somewhere for all kinds of things! "Are you alright? You've been staring for an awfully long time."
"Y-Yes! Nice to meet you, I'll be in your care then!" I'll just put on my cute side for him! I may have just started, but already there's a mega-hotty in front of me! Adventuring is so great!

And so she was off, onto her first adventure with the veteran ranger, Alfred. The poor man never stood a chance.
---
"So tell me, miss Mimiko, have you decided on the class you'll be going with as an adventurer? Once Judgement is complete, you'll have to decide for real." Alfred filled the air as the pair walked side by side on the way out of the small village. "I imagine for someone as cute and soft as you, you'll probably be a priest, right? Don't worry, I know plenty of parties that would take you in."
Is this what they call "being hit on"?! We've just met though… Oh Alfred, such a womanizer… I bet you call all the new girls cute. No no, play along! He wants cute, I'll give him cute! Grabbing hold of his arm, I'll perform the "boob hug"! A powerful move passed down from woman to woman, guaranteed to win a man's heart! I'll just grab his arm, push my chest into it, and smile really cute-like and bat my eyelashes at him! Yeah! He'll totally take me into HIS party! Just you wait, Alfred, I'll win your heart yet! Now's the time, I have to make my move! GO, KIMIMI ULTIMATE MOVE, MAIDEN'S EMBRACE!
Diving into his side, I grabbed hold of his arm with a fierce grip. Fabric straining against fabric, slamming my chest into his arm, my blow landed with critical momentum. This is it! The moment! I have to show him my cute side! "HAAA!!!"
KRRACK!!
"AHHH!! OH MY GOD, THAT'S MY ARROW ARM, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Flailing and tumbling over, her found himself in the grass, grasping at his arm, now twisted in more directions than it really should have been. Elbow… Shoulder… Wrist… What's that bend? Oh no. "YOU BROKE MY ARM, ARE YOU CRAZY?!! WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THAT GRIP?!
"Oh no." I forgot… How could I have been so dumb. "I USED TOO MUCH STRENGTH!"
My name is Kimimi Mimiko, and even though I just turned 18, I've never had a boyfriend even once! I've always been really strong… REALLY STRONG. REALLY STRONG. Like, seriously freaky strong! The truth is, ever since I was little, everything I touched would fall apart in just one hit! Target dummies would splinter if I slapped them too hard, weapons would crumple in my hands when I gripped them, and spells… They were just way too dangerous. I always knew I was strong. My mama told me that when I was born, I broke the doctor's hand just by gripping their pinky. I guess, even now, that strength hasn't left me… So now, as I watch this poor guy, Alfred Mox, squirming on the ground, all I can do is knock on my head, stick my tongue out, and giggle. "Oopsie~"
We never even finished the quest before we returned. Upon our arrival, Alfred was taken into care to have his bones mended while shouting about how freaky strong I was, and I was given a rank… "Since you couldn't finish your first quest properly, I have no choice but to give you a D ranking on your adventurer's card, but with time you'll be able to climb the ladder! Please tell me your chosen class, and you will become official."
"My class? I guess my class would be… Hero or something, right?"
"Actually… That class is reserved for S rank adventurers, but you can change your class later… Your first options are Warrior, Ranger, Priest, Magi, Thief, and Fighter."
"Then… Fighter it is!"
"Here you have it then, I wish you luck on your adventures, fighter Kimimi Mimiko, D rank adventurer!" With that, the guild rep bowed her head low, offering forth the sign of my job, my adventurer's card. Finally, I can go out into the world and find a boyfriend! Assuming I can learn to control my strength, that is…
