Apparently, I made a deal with a strange demon. [M]

Normally, you shouldn't be able to force a demon contract from the demon side to use blood as a mediator, but what do you mean, I could do that.

In contrast, Schiff was pretty upset, but if you're demonic enough to force me to sign a demon contract, there's nothing wrong with you? He seemed convinced first when he heard Reefa's opinion that

"Mai, do you have any more requests?"

The day after I finished my request for Benommonkey.

Once we took a break and returned to the guild, we were visiting Mai at the receptionist to take the next request again.

"Uh, in short, I only ask you to do the trick for the tunnel"

……

"Yes. You can't afford such cute, infidel rot. You guys can go up to silver in a little while. We're doing well with requests for battle..."

Mai, who turned the materials around, confirms our successful request.

"Yeah, if you say it in terms of your contribution at the guild, you're doing me a favor enough to get into five fingers this month....... keep this to yourself, but as a newbie adventurer who hasn't been in for a while, it's an unusual achievement?"

"But I..."

We need to be stronger.

She groaned so small that she seemed unhappy, unchanged.

Exactly no more, I can't waste any more time annoying Mr. Mai, so I'll stop it.

"Reefa. Let's do it in the tunnel. Sure, I know what we're asking for is not enough, but the first thing we need is experience and habit. It's just dangerous to fight such a suddenly strong demon."

"Kate's right. I don't know how you feel, but Kite and Kite aren't enough to fight a strong enemy."

"... ok"

Shin, and depressing Leafa.

And with a lot of guilt, I turn back to Mai, who was watching me.

To her, when I try to question the request I can now receive -, I notice a man being asked by an official of the Alliance at the reception next door.

"Request for nomination from Mr. Rick."

"Griffon exorcised? Who are you calling me on purpose?"

"It's a request from a central nobleman..."

"Ha, you're as big as ever."

This is Rick, who supervised the exams for me and Reefa's adventurers.

He looked at the paper on which the request was made, carrying a sword on his hips with purple embellishments that he did not have at the time of the exam, with the same troublesome look he had when he met him before.

"Do I need to take this?"

"I don't have a choice. My client wants to eliminate it for sure..."

"Damn, I'm glad you stayed silver if this is the case...... hmm? You guys..."

You'll notice us, Mr. Rick.

He was in a carefree motion and raised his right hand.

"To Kite, is that Reefa? Ever since the exam. Are you doing well here?"

"Yes, I've finally gotten used to it in a month."

"... for once"

When he saw us answering without difficulty and thought about it for a few seconds, he smiled slightly, comparing his request with the documents in Mai's hand.

"Mai. Hey, can I see their accomplished request?"

"Oh, uh, you, kite, Reefa, can I show you?"

I don't mind at all.

"Me too."

That said, Mai shows some of the paperwork to Rick.

When he glances at it in a serious way, he nods as impressed.

"Even though we're combing, how did you get inside... Wow, did you do that sewage request? You've had a rough time."

Me and Reefa snort hard at Mr. Rick's words.

While smiling bitterly at the way it was going, he put his hand on his chin as he conceived while returning it to Mr. Mai, who finished looking through the paperwork.

"... you guys want to follow my mission?"

!?

"Mr. Rick!?"

Mai shouts her surprise.

Rick is one of the few Rank Gold adventurers in the Alliance.

I know it's not normal to be invited to such a person's request.

"Mr. Rick! Whatever it takes, these kids are too early!?"

"It's not weird how powerful these guys are that they want to go up there. Only one Griffon crusade."

"But..."

"Besides, these guys stretch. Sure."

Come on, you're expecting me...!

You can't be glad Rick said that to you, who understands it to be far superior.

Still make reluctant Mai laugh casually as Rick slaps the sheath of his sword.

"Hey, don't worry, I'll take a good look at this."

"I'm worried because you are! You're acting like a big mess!!"

"Isn't it usually terrible?"

You're used to Mr. Rick, and Mai's tone is spicy somewhere.

Then Reefa, who kept her mouth shut next to me, talks to me.

"Kate, do you mind if I accompany you on Mr. Rick's request?"

You said you wanted to take the request above earlier, so I know exactly how Reefa feels.

"... what do you think of Schiff? As far as I'm concerned, I don't think we should miss this chance."

"I agree. It's dangerous, but it's a difficult experience to see the battle of the powerful up close. You should be sweet here, Lord Rick."

All right, if that's what you mean -,

"Mr. Rick."

"Hmm?"

"May I accompany Reefa and I to your request?"

"Oh, it's not that difficult."

If you ask me about Griffon, I have the impression that a monster with a four-legged beast torso and legs on the head and wings of a bird... is it not a bitter opponent for Mr. Rick to defeat?

Then came the flow of accompanying Mr. Rick to his request.

After all, I was a little anxious to be accompanied to Rick's request by Rank Gold, but as an adventurer, it doesn't seem so uncommon to accompany the request of someone above.

"Be prepared. The requested location is a short distance from the city. It's gonna be a little long journey."

From the reception, me and Reefa, who moved to the usual table in the guild, hear the explanation again.

Long journey by request?

Don't get a little excited.

"Departure will be in a carriage in the morning in three days"

"Eh."

Carriage, I am as upset as I think. [M]

I noticed that, Mr. Rick, talking to me with surprise.

"What's going on? Anything?"

"A carriage means a horse...?"

"Rather, that's all I have..."

So both Schiff and Reefa notice or leak a "Ah" voice.

Until now, I didn't even care because it was a walkable distance... but I was in a physical condition that could be avoided by normal animals because of the magic of pure demons.

Explaining that to Mr. Rick, he waved beside him just saying he didn't need to worry.

"I'm not worried about that. A horse pulling a carriage, but a demon horse."

"Is that what you have?"

"It's out in the public, but mine is a demon horse I borrowed from someone I know. So don't worry about it."

Good.

I was just about to leave a message...!

But what do you mean, a demon horse?
