"Yeah-! Kate, you and Reefa, are going to accompany Rick on his request!?"
"Yeah, I think that happened somehow"
Me, Schiff, Leafa, and Lyla had dinner at the inn the night Mr. Rick asked me to crusade Griffon? So as she was surrounded and eating, Lyla raised her surprise when she heard the daytime story.
"Yeah, lucky...? Both of you."
"Is that unusual?"
"Sure, Mai was surprised, too"
Me and Reefa ask, and Lila answers as she sits back in her seat.
"It's not uncommon among adventurers to ask for a favor in and of itself. In fact, you're allowed to take promising newcomers to a request for a higher rank."
"Don't you need to be surprised by then?"
She shakes her neck sideways to Schiff's particular question.
"What surprised me was that it was Rick who invited me!"
"Because it's Mr. Rick...?"
"Rick is one of the few Rank Gold amazing adventurers here, but he's strong, but he's apt for a lot of things, and he rarely interacts with newcomers before that, so it's rare in itself to take me to a request."
So, what do you mean, "rare"?
It would be an honor to be accompanied to such a person's request.
"We need to keep our feet together. Reefa."
"Yeah."
Nodding to each other with Reefa sitting next to Lyla, a plate of dishes is served before us.
The plates are served with luxuriously cut meat and boiled vegetables, which stimulate the appetite.
The woman who brought us the dish, Mr. Merck, with the same unpleasant look on her face, put her back on the wall and put her arms together when she left us.
"Are you following Rick's request?"
"Oh, do you know Mr. Merck?"
To Lila's doubts, Mr. Merck nods.
"He was in our inn, too. It wasn't as glamorous as yours."
"Yeah!? It's my first ear! Why didn't you tell me!!"
"There was no reason to talk.... Have dinner now. I'm the one cleaning it up."
Mr. Merck urges me to get my hands on the added meal.
Yeah, I knew it was delicious.
It's been quite a while since I've been in this world, but Mr. Merck's cooking is the best.
●
After the meal, before washing my body, I was in the back yard of the inn, making a bare gesture of my weapon.
It's only training, so watch close to Schiff and Lime, and I'll wave a wooden stick.
"Ha!"
"Kite, let the little circle live! Be aware of the moves that lead to the next attack!"
Bum, and the stick sounds like a wind cut.
Until now, it was a big move, but I learned that as I made the request and built up practice with monsters, bad attacks would be avoided.
"Not yet...!!"
The starting point of the attack is in stepping in, not weapons, and stepping in is in foot judgment - and with the hyperbole shiv, we are committed to fighting in such a way.
Honestly, I'm not sure yet, but it's about my life.
I have to desperately do it.
"Humph!"
Step your foot to the ground while rolling forward a thrust of weight and momentum.
Your torso won't collapse so your strength won't flow.
Keeping that attitude for about a few seconds, breathing slowly, I unbuckled and looked back at Sif as I wiped my sweat.
"How'd it go? Schiff, Lime"
"Not yet, but we've made a lot of progress compared to the first."
"Queue!"
He also seems to like Schiff and Lime.
Thanks to physical strengthening, my body is working out, and if I work hard at this rate, I might be strong enough to fight alone to some extent.
Honestly, I'm still stuck with Shiv and Lime.
"Now practice your sword."
When I say that, I realize something has flown in here, and I catch it in an aggressive manner.
It was a metal water bottle with water inside.
When I saw who flew in, there was a reefa at the back door of the inn.
"Good luck, but don't forget to rehydrate"
"Thanks, Reefa"
She sat down in a chair in the backyard with shiv and lime as she toweled and wiped her slightly damp hair in a magic shower.
Contains water in the water bottle she gets and moisturizes her throat.
"You're working hard."
"I wasn't originally the type to move my body. Besides, there's no reason to rely on Schiff and Lime."
"I'm honestly glad you're stronger than me. You're the only one who's unique to me."
Now Schiff and Lime are partners and companions.
But I'm the one who has to use them and keep them alive as demons.
There's no way that I can't pull out my original power because of my lack of power.
"I found something to do in this world, too. Being strong as the Lord of Schiff, being able to help you, I can't say it's a core thing, but I want to do my best for my purpose."
"... really, thank you. Kite."
I wave to the side with a bitter smile at Reefa, who comes to thank me in a strange way.
"It's my decision. But if we're going to be an adventurer, if we're going to be looking for Reefa's sister, we have to grow up. I'm sorry to bother you, but life depends on you."
"Huff. Right."
No, it's true that life is at stake, isn't it?
Honestly, the income from the request at this stage is not that great. Instead, you can call it a cutlet, including the cost of maintaining your gear.
Even in that sense, we have to go up there, so it's imperative that we be strong.
"That's why I'm fighting my way - which means I have to look for a way to fight that presupposes the physical strengthening of Schiff"
"--Hmm? Well, yeah?"
"I mean, I don't feel like referencing human movements. Instead, in essence, the beast... the demonic movement is close"
"Wait, I don't think that's what this is about"
Reefa stops in a hurry.
You must be caring about my body.
But I can't move on as I am now.
When you're not strengthening your body, you can imagine how you fight as a human being, and when you're strengthening your body, it's like surpassing people's common sense--it's like it's a comic book world--superhuman movements.
"When I destroy my stereotypes as a high school student in the world where I was...!"
In order to do this, we must acquire training to make physical strengthening a little longer.
Take the wooden sword and start swinging.
The way you wave your sword shouldn't be wrong because Lyla taught you.
"Nooo! Nooooooooo!"
You wind-cut noise!
Really comfortable!!
"And, Schiff, shouldn't we stop? Kite's going to have a weird fight, huh?"
"Kite...! Please, that's it for us...!"
"No, you can't, you subordinate..."
Schiff, it's still too early to cry.
Schiff wiping his eyes with his forefoot as he was impressed and Lime jumping on his shoulder to comfort the leafer dropping his shoulder.
Request invited by Mr. Rick.
Although I have some anxiety, I am just as excited about it.
