Can I Become an Adventurer Without Gift?

"Hmm... you were strong"

A sighed Lunaria comes to Hull and smiles and speaks.

The defeat of the mighty enemy also seemed to relieve Lunaria.

"Oh, when it comes to this in toddlers, they're going to have a lot of power when they grow up..."

The harsh expression Hal wipes the body fluid on the sword with a cloth and then sheaths it. The gaze remained directed at the fallen toddler Black Iron Dragon.

"Now, shall we strip the material? Was it scales and skins, and fangs and nails?"

"Eh, you did say that fangs and nails feel extra. If you can, you better take it, but you have to."

I told him to remember. That was the explanation I received from the receptionist, Kana.

"For now, turn it over."

Hull flips a fairly heavy young body, the black iron dragon, over at will.

"If it's on the back, it's definitely less intense..."

After observing his body still, Hal plugs his sword in and cuts it open from the back as he aimed.

"I'll take care of that one. I'm going to take a scale."

Kneeling on the other side, Lunaria carefully slices the scales, one by one, and Hal cuts the skin.

It took about an hour to complete.

"Oh, I'm tired..."

Because it was quite hard to say how many young bodies it was, it was also difficult to cut out the skin.

"You might want to have a knife or something for cutting out..."

Lunaria points out the problem with the tools in a neat way.

"Right...... and then chronic understaffing is the problem"

Hal and Lunaria were a party of two, and it was a pretty heavy labor for the two of us to dismantle all this prey.

But you can't just let anyone in because you two have secrets you can't tell people.

"You have to think about it a little bit."

There's always a chance that the two of us will come across issues that we can't follow each other.

Neither of us has spoken before, but we both thought it would be better to have two or one more as a party, even considering aspects other than battle.

"In the meantime, shall we go back to this request as an achievement"

"Right...... that's a successful request!

The moment Lunaria says that happily, she hears an explosion from a remote location.

"... bigger than just now, right"

Lunaria twinkles anxiously at more volume than she thought.

I don't see any changes in smoke or anything like that within sight, but it was the loudest explosion I've ever heard.

"The sound of other parties fighting, or..."

The two ears wonder if the next change will happen.

Then there's another explosion. The sound was slowly approaching the two of us.

"- Lunaria!"

"Ha!"

The two will be ready for battle as soon as it is clear that they are headed this way as they fight from the signs of sound.

Hal holds his sword, and Lunaria is distancing herself from the direction in which the sound comes so that she can use magic at any time.

The two of them took a breath and waited for a few dozen seconds to figure out who the sound was.

"Coming!

It was several adventurers with traces of battle everywhere who showed up.

"... Lunaria!?

"Elissa!"

And one of the things that caught my eye was my friend Elissa from Lunaria, who I met at the Adventurers Guild.

Looks like she was coming to this rock with the same request as Hal and the others.

"Oh, run. Yeah!

I was surprised for a moment to see who I knew. Elissa immediately screams with a desperate look to inform her of the danger.

Some of her parties, running away at full speed with party members, were injured.

And I see who they are, what they're after.

"- Become!? Big!!

The most accurate word to describe itself was' big '.

Hal had one prediction - if the adventurers became so much demons that they fled, wouldn't the Black Iron Dragon's adult beast have come out? and.

"Ha, Mr. Hal! Is that... what!?

But it was an incredible sight to show up in front of both of us. Lunaria solidifies her surprise and asks Hal a question.

It wasn't the Black Iron Dragon that was there.

"That's..."

But in Hal's knowledge, there was information to describe the demon.

"It's Behemoth!

My own knowledge alarms Hal. More dangerous beings appeared before the two of us than the Black Iron Dragon.

Behemoth - holding two giant horns in his head, the giant covered in shallow black skin can see his muscles packed with mistletoe just by looking.

Sometimes I describe it as a giant cow or something like that, but because of its ferocity, I say something I've seen such an expression not fit.

"Why is there a behemoth here!?

I've only heard the name, Lunaria. In her knowledge, Behemoth lived in the cold regions of the north.

However, the climate is relatively mild around here, and there is still a period of time until it is seasonal and winter.

That's why Lunaria's surprising and bewildering words were accurate.

"I don't know why, but run. Yeah, yeah!

Elissa was screaming desperately as she fled that the best way she could do now was to escape against the confused Lunaria.

Attacks by Heavy Moss were occasionally flying from behind while fleeing to party members, including Elissa, but Heavy Moss was chasing them like he could afford to.

"Shit, shit, shit... Shit, but keep it up. That's worse!

So far, Elissa and the others have managed to keep a critical distance and run away, but it was only a matter of time before they were caught up, given their speed and strength.

Furthermore, even if we manage to flee here, leaving Heavy Moss alone like this could cause damage to other areas and possibly even the Lunarian homeland.

"Mr. Hal!

Lunaria strongly calls for confirmation of her will, but Hal, who sipped his sarcasm and spit, lays his sword with a rugged expression and heads to Behemoth.

"- Bullshit! I'm not stupid! You get out of here, too!

I didn't think I was going to run away or stand up to him. I call out to Elissa to run away cursing Hull, but Hull takes a deep breath and shuts out his surrounding voice, concentrating and watching Behemoth.

"What is it now! Idiot!"

Elissa ran off beside Hull in frustration because she gave minimal advice but didn't get a response back.

It was her decision, no matter how many Lunarian companions, that we now had to prioritize our own lives.

Lunaria, who was next to Hull like that, understood what he was trying to do.

Hal hasn't thought hard.

- I just manage to stop the behemoth now.

With that in mind, I was trying to sharpen my nerves, focus, and maximize my abilities.

If so, Lunaria was desperately inspiring a body that was about to tremble when it was her role to support him as a party member.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

A behemoth scream echoes all around me as I make my way here with Dosdos.

Lunaria makes me want to block my ears to that voice with shock. And Elissa and the others who have already blocked their ears.

But it had no effect whatsoever on the concentrated Hull.

Hal opens his eyes in a few seconds until he gets to the enemy.

"- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Noticing Hal turning his temper into a voice, Behemoth slowed down gradually but stepped into his arms and waved down to Hal with momentum.
