An A-Ranked Adventurer’s “Slow-living”

As I proceeded northward through the west forest, my usual hunting ground, the flat road turned into a slope.

"Here is the back mountain."

Lauren walking in front says that.

In short, both me and Kyle are the first places from here.

A place that looks like a steeper and denser road than before. The scaffolding is uneven because there are not many people, and the grass is unlimited.

The visibility will be worse than ever, as the trees are growing overburdened. The monsters come out of them, so you have to tighten your mind.

Kyle and I follow a little from behind, with Lauren moving forward as she gets used to it.

"What demons are here?"

I know most demons, but there may be monsters that live only here.

"A goblin, black wolf, olive, dial, bug bear, unicorn, rock bird? There are other varieties, but these are the ones you see mostly."

In particular, the monsters that come out are not a kind of magical zone, so the kind of demon that comes out is kind. However, there are still many other types, so be careful.

Have you never heard of a monster called Olibou?

"What kind of monsters are Olibou and Dial?"

Kyle just asked me when I was asking about Olivev.

"Oribou is like a little boar with a hard head. It has no fangs like them, but instead has a ridiculously hard head. And rocks. "

Indeed, a monster with a skull that developed abnormally.

It seems that it is easier to measure the time because there are no fangs compared to the common boar monsters.

That said, if you hit your feet properly, you'll definitely be blown away and break your bones.

"Even if you make a mistake, don't you try to shoot your head with an arrow? I'll be played.

""understood""

You may be a little unfamiliar with pure archers like Kyle. Well, is it okay if I and Lauren show a sample of how to defeat it?

"Then next is the dial, a big deer with twisted horns. It's more intelligent and more brutal than a deer. Even if you shoot an arrow from it, it will play at the corner, so if you finish it you will not notice it. ''

Dial is a little smarter and more active than normal monsters. If you're killing from a distance, it would be easier for him to stop before he knows, as Lauren says.

Once found and rushed, he seems to be troublesome in the unfamiliar mountains. There is quite a lot of power because the body length is larger than human.

"Well, now Kyle is a tough opponent."

"Among the adventurers, it's a monster that you can beat at a C-rank party."

"Is that so?"

Kyle is surprised to hear my words.

It is vague in words, but with such a clear indicator, it is likely that the threat level is easily conveyed.

The guild guild's rating of the demon's threat rating can sometimes be alarming, but it also has the effect of reminding you.

However, when it comes to demons after rank B, my experience is that the guild's rating isn't much addressed.

"Is the one who rejoices to hunt in this is a rabbit, a rock bird?"

One of the hunters of this year who has to work hard is marrying Flora, the daughter of the village chief. The next village chief may be me, so I want to help you here and show that you have the ability to deserve Flora.

If so, it would be better to hunt for the most difficult and delightful demons.

"Oh, there are other dials and olibours, and especially the dials are difficult to hunt, so it would be a pleasure for the villagers to get one every year."

"Let's hunt about ten heads this year."

A monster of the order of a dial can afford it alone.

"Hey, how much Aldo ... I thought I already beat Red Bear alone."

"It looks like Aldo would really do it."

By the way, Red Bear is a monster classified as B rank, so it is more difficult than Dial. Compared to that, it seems easier to have multiple dials.

"Well, I don't hunt so much today.

"Oh, good. The dial is so big that it wouldn't be hard to transport it if you hunted so much. Please refrain from today."

My ear caught a faint noise when I was talking lightly with Loren.

"... Lauren"

"This guy!"

When I lowered my voice and said with a serious expression, Loren also noticed.

As expected, it's Lauren. Did you notice the sign immediately?

I was so impressed, but when Loren shut down for a while, he scratched his head unwillingly,

"Sorry, I don't know yet."

"... Master"

Kyle, who was nervous about this, was also amazed.

"No, no sign! @ Kyle, do you know!"

"I don't know. I'm suspiciously quiet in the first place, but there's something Aldo says."

"Chikisho, Aldo's range is still strange. Where is he?"

They look around, close their eyes and explore the surroundings.

But they don't seem to know yet.

"I feel like a small creature in that direction."

"……I do not understand"

"I do not know"

I pointed my fingers, and they stared at that one and answered them flatly.

"Let's get closer."

One word of Lauren decides to approach me under the initiative.

As I stepped forward and took the lead, Loren noticed along the way and Kyle noticed late.

"... Hey, you're far away. Why do you notice there?"

"Is that so?"

I don't mean to detect such a distant creature.

"And there's a pretty big sign over there. Is it a dial?"

"It's easy to see where Aldo is, even on the mountain where the monsters are."

"That's it! Kyle will have a good time! Hey, Aldo. You don't have to talk about distant prey next time!"

"Oh yes.

It's the first time I've been told I don't have to tell me what I sensed. It's a bit guilty to pretend you don't know, but let's put up here, thinking it's for Kyle.

For the time being, we decided to go to see the sign of the first notice, so we approached quietly, killing the sign.

Then, about 20 meters ahead, a rabbit-like silhouette with brown fur was seen. However, there is a splendid horn that is disproportionate to its lovely appearance.

One-horned rabbits are popular as novice quests for run-away adventurers, but they are insidious because they have caused a number of casualties.

"Is that a rabbit?"

"Oh, yes. It's a monster that jumps and skewers its prey at the corner of the forehead.

When Lauren asked with a serious expression, Kyle swallowed her and nodded firmly.

At this distance, Kyle's normal skill can be firmly applied.

"I wish I could get it with a bow, but if you remove it, it will hit you. One-eyed rabbits use a dagger on their hips because it is difficult to get rid of the horn jump with a bow. Perform the action of collecting with your legs.

If you put together and avoid, pierce from the side. ''

"understood"

Kyle nodded firmly, but there was some tension.

Lauren looks at Kyle somewhere with anxiety.

Only Goblins have defeated Kyle's demons. Goblins are, of course, dangerous monsters, but looking at the horns on the one-eyed rabbit's forehead makes it obvious which one is more frightening.

If you remove it, you may attack here and the pressure will be great.

"Kyle, in case of trouble, don't worry me and Lauren will help me."

"Thank you"

I thought I would relax my shoulder a little, but Kyle's voice was hard.

Is it Kyle's distraction to call out any more? We just have to follow up.

I and Loren decided to watch a little further away from Kyle.

Kyle holds a bow and counts the arrows.

There is no obstruction from the bush where we are to the rabbit. I mean, I decided to take a position that was easy to aim.

The unicorn rabbit is sniffing the ground while moving his nose, and he is not aware of this.

It doesn't work so much. Now is your chance if you aim.

Kyle took a deep breath and fired an arrow as I and Loren watched.

The arrow fired from Kyle's bow went straight into the rabbit, and pierced the ground a bit off the rabbit.

The one-horned rabbit immediately looks back here.

Then, Kyle with an expression of impatience was caught in his sight.

The one-eyed rabbit distorts his pretty face and shoots Kyle with red eyes, full of anger and murder.

"What?"

Kyle stared in the eyes of a rabbit and shook his shoulders.

His calm expression always disappears, trying to reach his quiver as if he was impatient.

"Is your arrow hit! I'm determined and go through the dagger!"

Perhaps calm down after hearing Lauren's scream, Kyle threw his bow and pulled out a dagger from his waist.

Meanwhile, the one-eyed rabbit comes to Kyle at first sight.

Bouncing on thin legs with disproportionate leg strength and eating away.

However, Kyle does not move while holding the sword. I wondered if he was watching the movement of the rabbit, but it was different.

His complexion was so blue that he felt unwell, and his forehead was sweating cold.

It was the expression of a man who was swallowed by the demon's murder, which I have seen many times before.
