Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga S Rank ni Natteta

Eight. Large and small, west of the city of Orphen

In the west of the city of Orphen, on a rolling terrain with large and small rocks, I thought that a lot of complex geometric patterns drifted in the air, and a strong lightning strike blew out and charred the spider monster running around the area .

"I'm still going!"

Each time Miriam shakes his cane with a light tone, geometric patterns appear in the air, and lightning strikes from one to the next. Slightly behind that, Angelin and Anessa were watching.

"... Such an extermination battle is magical." "It's really true.

Miriam's magical momentum is extraordinary. It looks as if he is angry. Angeline laughs grinously.

"Maybe ... my favorite candy was sold out." "... I'm sad that I can't say it's impossible."

Anessa agilely moves three arrows together and shoots them. The arrow exploded, exploding exactly through the eyebrows of the spider monster that the lightning strike failed to kill. It seems that the method of explosion is engraved on the arrow. A large triangular cap of Miriam flew away, blasted by a blast.

"Oops"

Angelin runs and catches the hat. Soon after, the spider monster wandering in the wilderness was annihilated. The girls have cool faces. It is a disaster class monster of AA rank. Angeline grew.

"Arne, in this condition, get to the S rank quickly and let me enjoy ..." "What's that ..."

Miriam rushed quickly.

"Oh, my hat has flew."

On the head without the hat, the cat's ears are shaking. I don't know because I'm always hiding it with my hat, but Miriam is a beast. The tail is hidden in the robe. Angelin handed her hat to Miriam, who ran very close.

"Hoi" "Thank you, Angers"

Miriam receives a hat from Angelin and wears it deep. Then shake your body.

"Well, it's already winter." "Well. Let's go back and drink some mulled wine."

The three take them back to Orphen. On the way home, the clouds that had drooped thickly since morning became darker and began to snow. The wind was completely cold and the blossoms began to mix. The bare ears and nose are exposed to the cold wind and turn red. The breath is white. Orfen, located in the northern part of the continent, has cold winters. However, Angelin, who grew up in the northern part of Tornella, never had this cold. Anessa muttered, breathing into her hand.

"Winter ... I don't want my hands to bite." "I don't mind bowers being fingertips. Buy gloves too?" No ... rather, I should take a break during the winter because of Ane's inactivity and I'll return to Tornella. Perfect. "" Something like that ... roughly this time it's snowy and you can go north. "I don't think so." "Gummu ..." "But I also want to rest. I want to go to a hot spring."

Although there was a small break since the beginning of autumn, there is certainly no memory of resting for more than three days. No matter how much the subjugation, the beasts seemed to be moving rather than calm down. Recently, Angelin and others have voices even with A-ranking monsters. Adventurers who were tired of the great number of demons are leaving the town of Orphan little by little, and the number of adventurers is not enough.

"... the guild has a serious shortage of adventurers"

Angeline muttered. Anessa agrees and nods.

"Yes, that's what I think. I'd like to increase the rank a little more because it's good at B rank." "It seems that there are many adventurers who leave Orfen .... They are out of the higher ranks. It's bad." There's no time to take a break because all the monsters happen. "" Hey. The disaster class has a lot of commissions, so everyone is usually happy, but it will be tired just to continue this much. "" Well. Adventurers are originally bound. Because they just don't like being done. "

Anyway, the three return to the guild and report completion of the suppression request. The receptionist smiles, but presses the done mark somewhere in a tired state. Miriam grew well.

"Okay, go to the tavern. I want to drink sweet hot wine." "... go ahead." "What happened? What happened?"

Anessa and Miriam tilted their heads, but said they were going ahead. Angelin turns to the reception.

"Hey, have a guild master ...?"

The reception lady was scared and flustered by Angelin's mushy words.

"Eh, uh, why? What's wrong?"

The receptionist was lost, but eventually entered the back door as he had thought. After a while, a middle-aged man appeared with sloppy brown hair mixed with white ones. I'm Lionel, the guild master of the Orphen city. Lionel scratched his head with a tiring appearance. Angelin snorted gruntly.

"I came out without escaping today, Guild Master ..." "What do you want? Wait for a long vacation, wait for me, Angers." "It's not that today ... There are too few adventurers. It's weird that high-ranked adventurers are like working in a guild, adventurers aren't really locked-in, they're free to ask for a commission ... so adventurers also flee from Orphen "

Lionel scratched his cheeks in trouble.

"No, because nowadays, disaster class monsters are abnormal, so if you leave it to free will, the deaths of ordinary people will increase, and even collapsed villages and towns will increase ..." Investigate the cause of the beast outbreak ... it's unfair to be bound all the time ... "" No, I'm sorry for that and I'm really grateful. The high-ranked adventurer explained that there could be some restrictions on the measures against disaster-class beasts, but it wasn't until now that the disaster-class was just that far, so that area was loose, There's no help in the current situation ... Either way, keep your promise. There is a certain obligation to those who have the power. "" If you do not try to break the status quo, you have to complain ...! "In Datte to me" So, to have increased also by that amount request fee, Is not it also has issued fixed salary.'M there was no such a thing until now? Come on something I is the time of active service. "

Angelin says frustratedly, blocking Lionel's words.

"It's not a matter of money ... I'm not an adventurer to keep killing monsters! I don't think we'll be spoiled forever! "If you don't clarify the cause quickly, you're poor, do you know!" "Well, I'm thinking, but that kind of investigation would be an adventurer's job? It's faster and I don't have much time to spare, I can't afford to ignore the human lives and invest in the investigation, and the guilds in the neighboring towns are the same, so I'm going to work one after another with a lot of adventurers, I was in trouble, thanks to my uncle. "

Angelin lifted her eyebrows.

"Don't give me a guild master ... I'm just neglecting because I'm awkward ... If you don't have enough people, you can scout for mercenaries and pride in your work, and retired adventurers if you feel like that You can be a temporary adventurer by pulling on it, or if there are no adventurers around Orphen, ask an Estgal adventurer for support and let the lord move the army! That's not the problem! "

Lionel bends badly.

"Because ... if you add more work, your uncle will be overworked, you're already thirty-nine." "Let us work hard and say what ... Let's do it a little harder, so even the adventurers flee! "

Angelin hit the counter with a fist bone. The receptionist draws one step with "Hiee". The cracks became deeper. Lionel says he gave up.

"Ok, it's okay. I can't do it right away because there are various procedures." "It's a promise, Guild Master ... If you don't do it soon, the dead will really increase ...." I'm really serious too.

Looking at the soothing Lionel, Angeline sneered at.

"... I guess I'm gonna lose me with a single blow." "Cho! That's a promise I don't say!

The receptionist is looking straight at Lionel.

A long ago ago, Lionel, who was amused by Angelin's tremendous rise in rank, applied for a mock battle secretly. There was a desire to put a little moxibustion on the little girl who was in tune, but the result was Lionel's complete defeat in a blow to the brain. Lionel asks Angelin to keep this secret, as his guild master's dignity is gone. But Lionel doesn't have that kind of dignity. Nobody says it, but everyone from guild staff to adventurers think so. His friendliness was his strength and weakness.

Anyway, Angelin, who had taken the word, left the guild, angering his shoulders, and headed to his usual bar. The snow is getting stronger and the clouds are thick and very dark. Even though it was still before sunset, the streetlights were starting to light. Although the bar was small, there were many people and it seemed to be hot. The fire is burning red in the fireplace, and drunks are making a fuss. The wind blowing through the gap seems cool. Sit next to the two sitting at the counter seat.

"... Hot wine. Add plenty of spices. Saute duck."

The bar tavern looks at Angelin and nods while dealing with other guests. She is already familiar with this master. I haven't talked much about it because it's horribly silent and unfriendly, and I still don't even know his name. Miriam licks the wine and says it.

"What was it for the nightlife?" "... I stabbed my nails to focus on elucidating the cause of the mass outbreak of monsters."

Anessa said she recommended cheese.

"Will it work? High-ranked adventurers are all being pulled out on request or fleeing to another guild with dissatisfaction with the status quo, who will investigate?" "If you pull in retired people, Good ... Shirogane's uncle or General Muscle "" Don't call Cheborg General Muscle ... but they're already pretty old ... Is it okay? " Arne "" ... No, I can't imagine what that person is going to be due to senility. "" Well?

Angelin licked the mulled wine in front of him. It is full of honey and spices, sweet, hot and savory, with a fire that shines on the bottom of your body. The duck saute is also delicious with fat as usual. The wind seems to be getting stronger outside, and the closed windows rattle, making a whining sound. Snow blows in with the wind from the entrance that opens each time people enter and exit. It looks particularly cold tonight.

When I lived in Tornella, I remember that on such a cold winter night, I slept more than usual on the Bergryph. After deciding to go to the capital of Orphen to become an adventurer, I tried to sleep alone as much as possible, but when it was too cold or meager, I fell into the belgryph bed. Berglyph was surprised by Angeline's cold limbs, but ended up sleeping with a smile. Angeline screams.

"Dad was warm ..." "What is it?" "Dad was very warm to hug. Especially on such a cold day." "Ange is really a spoiler.

Angeline pointed to Miriam's grinning smile.

"It's not embarrassing to give my dad a thing ... what about those two people?" "Well, we're orphanages? In winter we had separate beds, but the number of futons increased. Well, some people got stuck in the same bed, and then laid down the futon and slept. "" Yes. Arne was so cold that she was often hugging me. " Don't say stupid! You're the one who hugged me! "

When she notices, Miriam has already dried many glasses of mulled wine and turned around. Her cheeks turned red, her eyes melted, and she swallowed with Angelin and Anessa.

"Funyan, Ikibun-" "Oh, I'm too crazy to drink too much. It's not so strong habit." "It's cold and good ... there's no help." "Take me home before it's too late .... "What do you do?" "I drink more. I'll relieve my resentment ...." "Ah, more straw strings." "You're not good! Then again tomorrow."

Anessa left the store after pulling Miriam, who fluttered. They seemed to rent a small house together. Do you sleep on the same bed this night? Angelin thought.

Angelin, alone, asks for another glass of mulled wine, grilled intestines, and pickled turnips. If you scout for mercenaries and pride in your work, and the former high-ranking adventurers return, the number of adventurers will be covered. Elucidation of the cause will be quicker, and measures after the elucidation will be easier to take. Angelin's burden should be much less. Even ex-adventurers who are unable to receive a request due to their age, etc., will be able to provide guidance to lower-ranked adventurers. Raising the quality of adventurers will eventually make Angelin more comfortable on vacation.

"But ... I wonder if it works ..."

Remember, Dad was very good at teaching. I didn't talk too much, but I always looked at me and gave me advice when needed. I wish my dad was a guild instructor. Thinking there, lightning ran behind Angelin's mind.

"Why ... I couldn't think of it ..."

Shouldn't I just call Bergriff into the city instead of returning? If you have your own income now, it is possible. That way, every time you come back at the request, you will be stroked by the Bergglyph. It's easy to introduce to people you know. But sad now is winter. Tornella is closed to the snow, and it's hard to get to the city. Letters are not easy to reach.

"Gee, my idiot ..."

Angelin drank half a glass of mulled wine, and suddenly gasped.

"... but ... but ..."

Somehow, Bergliff and Tornella are Angelin who feel like a set. Certainly, I'd like to call Bergriff in the city and take him to this tavern and delicious candy store. I would like to introduce my friends, including Anessa and Miriam. But more than that, I want to go to the mountain of Tornella to get rock cowberry, wash the dishes in that little house, plow the fields, and so on. There's nothing to say if there's a Bergliff over there and watching over.

"... I really want to go home."

Angeline sticks his chin on the counter. It's cool and comfortable with a face lit by wine.

Another customer sat next to the vacant seat. Despite being so cold and snowy, customers are coming and going. Angelin thought that everyone would surely want warmth.

"……Hmm"

The master preceded the addition of intestines and pickled turnips and mulled wine. There is no amiability as ever. Angelin bows and places some coins on the counter. When he was biting the intestine, which was full of gravy, he heard a voice from the neighbor. I saw a blue-haired female peddler sitting. Angelin squints, as he meets a surprising person.

"Oh ... someday" "Hey, Angelin. That verse was taken care of."

The merchant smiled. She was with her since she helped a thief. She hasn't seen her for almost half a year, but Angeline remembered her for her days alone, the turmoil of selenium and bandits, and the impressive event of returning to Bordeaux. . Female merchants can't forget about the "black haired war maiden".

"I'm fine and above all ..." "Yeah, thanks" "... I'm at Orphen" "Ah, I just arrived. I brought Elbren fish to Bordeaux. "It's cheaper and you don't need magic," "Bordeaux ... it was colder than here ...?" "Well, it's completely winter. Nevertheless, he came to the northern part ... "" That was the causal place of the peddler. Since then, the Bordeaux family have also remembered it better, making it much easier to do business in the northern part. I bought a sledge. "

The merchant laughed at her, sipping a sip of hot wine. She seems to have received various benefits from the Bordeaux family as one of Selenium's benefactors. Suddenly, the merchant said as if she remembered.

"Speaking of which, I went to Tornella during the Autumn Festival and met my father."

Immediately, Angelin approached a merchant. The woman merchant shouted, "Hie".

"How was it? Dad, how are you doing?" "Yeah, yeah. I didn't feel sick, I was treating the Bordeaux family guards with ease." "Eh ... what is that ... ...? "

The merchant described the agony between Helvetica and Bergliff at the Autumn Festival. Angelin frowned grossly, bent his mouth in a curvy shape, and beat the counter with his fingertips.

"Oh ... I'm trying to steal my dad, and I'm Selenium's older sister ..." "Well, well, that's the end of the story." … Cool, cool, was n’t it cool? ”“ Yes, I was surprised to be honest. There was no waste in the movement, and I didn't notice for a while even though my right foot was a prosthesis. ”“ Yes… surely if I had both feet, ”“ ” He had such a wonderful red hair that he felt like “Akaoni.” He was calm, an adult man, and I knew that Angelin wanted to meet you, fufu. ”

Probably a lip service, the merchant says in a light tone. But Angelin shines and grabs the shoulders of a woman merchant.

"You know the story ..." "Oh, yes," "If this happens, there's no other way to talk about my father's charms tonight ...", "Cho, little Angelin?" "I have it." "Thank you, but I'm grateful for me tomorrow." "I don't mind. I'll pay you if you lose." Add two wines, and cheese.

Angelin grabs a coin from his wallet and places it on the counter. My eyes are set. Is hot wine running well? No, this is unavoidable, the blue-haired woman merchant laughed with a sigh and decided. Explaining that he had been caught by the S-rank adventurer, he hopes that the business partner of tomorrow will be satisfied.
