Apart from the sharpness, Nikolai's melancholy sword was unmatched by any wooden sword he had ever used.

The grip is easy to apply force, the weight of the handle is also optimal, and it is easy to swing out.

It was ideal enough to handle a sword the way I thought it would.

But the blade is ruining everything.

"Finn, I'm gonna--"

I'll take care of it!

Finn, who was watching the monster attack, opened up space for me to attack.

The Wood Spider is a large spider that hits people in a group.

It's about the size of a person.

I swung my sword at the head of such a Wood Spider.

If the sword itself is not sharp enough, you can increase the speed of swinging it out the moment the blade touches it!

When the blade touched Wood Spider's head, it suddenly exerted its power to swing out.

"Ugh! I failed!" Finn, cover me! "

It's okay, I'm already here!

The blade was slow enough to swing through, but it only hit Wood Spider in the head.

Head to the frightened Wood Spider, where Finn switches positions with me.

From the time I was dealing with wild animals in the village, Finn was guiding me and I was in the shape of a toad.

An angry Wood Spider moves her mouth to spit out sticky threads, and Finn hits her body and gets in the way.

Alfine, can we go?

Um, yeah! It's time to make up your mind!

I slammed into the back of the Wood Spider and swung my sword across the side of it.

This time, you have to shake it faster the moment you touch it!

As soon as the blade touched Wood Spider's head, he concentrated his nerves and increased his swinging speed.

The shockwave caused by the swinging speed slashed the Wood Spider's head and did not return a dull blow.

This is more of an airborne sensation than an enemy!

"Well done, Finn, well done!"

"Wow... it's a beautiful cut." It's definitely not the sharpness of this sloppy sword..... "

It's interesting to observe Wood Spider fall to the ground with Finn losing his head.

"If it's a sword that can't be cut, I should've swung it out faster!" Nikolai's sword may not be too bad for training. "

"Well, Alfine is the only one who can do that, right?" I don't feel like being slashed. "

"I can do it! I did it!" As soon as I hit it, I just shake it out with all my strength! "

I'll show you the sample, but I can't put on Finn's face.

"No, that's because it's Alfine, right?" With my swinging speed, you can't do that. "

"Well then, we need to practice!" That's all I asked for today, right? "

"Yeah, that's right... but that's all, then it's time for your stay to go down." The cost of moving and the request fee don't match, so if you don't accept a request other than a crusade... you won't save any money at all. "

Not only did Finn's sword arm not rise, but he also had to pay for his stay.

Hunter's work as a Monster Crusader is often a deficit, even if it is accomplished, as there are only far off and poorly implemented requests in the iron grade.

It's already been a month since I came to the capital.

About 10 crusade requests have been fulfilled, but there is no increase in the amount of money left on hand due to the cost of staying.

When I started talking about money, my stomach suddenly rang.

”Even though you're cheating on meals... can't you do it?”

"Yeah, the money you get for today's request disappears after paying for the hotel you're waiting to pay for." If that happens, there's no place to stay, no money to eat... "

"Finally, camping... I'd like to be in the King's city, if possible." I'm going to find something to eat on the way home? "

"From now on, it's almost time for the castle gate to close, so I don't think I have time to look for it..." After all, let's do the Searcher's job. After you make a little money, you'd better accept the hunter's request again. "

Finn develops his usual theory.

Well then, I'll have to ask for delivery all the way until I can calm down.

Many adventurers missed the growing season and told me they couldn't make it as a hunter.

We only have sword skills, so we have no choice but to keep asking for a crusade, even if the money is bitter.

Once again, my stomach rings small.

"But I don't have any place to sleep or eat, so I'll have to accept a request from the searcher..."

Tomorrow, if I don't have a hunter, I'll get a searcher.

Really?

Blood shone back on Fine's face, which could not be seen.

If it was a Searcher's request, I knew there were some efficient requests nearby.

I've only been rejecting it for a long time.

Honestly, I was wondering if I'd get more crusades and get a higher rank.

However, since seniors and adventurers will accept orders first, we can only make money by rushing out, no matter how hard we try.

The first thing to do now is to make sure that you can eat your rice properly.

"Yes, I understand that if we can't eat dinner, we won't be able to continue."

“You just need to understand. Tomorrow we'll find a searcher.”

When Finn had finished taking out the Wood Spider's thread bag, which was a testament to the crusade, we hurried back to the Royal Adventurer's Guild to report that we had fulfilled our request.

On that night, he didn't have the money to stay at the inn, and he couldn't eat dinner, and he ended up spending the night in the corner of the slum in the downtown area, where the only camping in the king's city is allowed.

When you remove the dried meat from the last preserved food, Finn and I will cut it in half.

"You ate so full..."

"I'm sure I can make money from tomorrow." There are many delivery requests available, and there are many nearby places. You'll be saving up in no time. ”

When you put dried meat fluffy with water into your mouth, it will go down until the taste is gone.

The doctors said that the life of an adventurer was tough, but I didn't expect it to be this tough.

It's important to raise your sword arm, but the big premise is that you can make money.

I needed money to get Nikolai to hit me with the next sword.

It's going to be a delivery life for a while, but you can use your free time to practice your sword.

The growing body seemed to be more than just dried meat shards, and it gave off more and more stomach chirping.

"Alfine, this is good too." I don't have to eat. "

Finn brings out the fragments he got for himself.

"No, I've done half of it properly." That's Finn's. "

Finn cut the pieces of dried meat in half and pushed them into my mouth.

"Alfine knows she can't sleep when she's hungry. If I don't go to bed, it'll sound like tomorrow. I'm fine because I can stand it."

Finn's gentle words and shards of dried meat squeezed into his mouth are delicious, and tears flow naturally from his eyes.

"I'll do my best. I'll make good money."

"Well then, we have to get ready for bed tomorrow." It seems cold today, and we only have one blanket, so let's hang out together. It'll be warmer that way. "

Yeah, thanks!

When I slipped into the blanket with Finn, I was able to greet the morning without freezing on the night of the royal capital, which began to cool down.

Then, we decided to do a request for a searcher, and during that request, we will meet Sophie, a searcher who will be our second friend in the capital.
