It was a half-examplary measure, but the operation was more effective than expected.

On the road from Second City (Second Town) to Third City (Third Town). The way Fujido and the others thrust forward as they defeated all the demons that appeared was reminiscent of the brave. Aria comes forward without fear of wounding herself, covering the lack of aggression with bravery in Fujido, who cuts down the golem without endangerment. Gresha is not hesitant to smash the golem even though it's just an aside to the remiss of showing off the magic of the flames at all costs.

This is supposed to be the first time we've made it to the third city, but we've gotten there without any particular shuddering.

I guess I've never been out of my hands before, but my temper is different. Not as good as you can see. Remis and Aria, in particular, are the most powerful of all that they have observed.

I guess Fujido hasn't figured out how horrible the stay is yet, he was puzzled by the change in party members, but he's fighting more efficiently so he can be pulled by it.

Because of that, he seemed exhausted after the exploration, but aside from that, well, all I can do is laugh at the high effect of the stay.

"Well done, stay"

"Eh heh... this is what happens to me"

The size of the city present in the Golem Valley is basically smaller the later the numbers.

This is because the more you go in the back, the more powerful the demons appear, and because the higher the level, the fewer the mercenaries.

Still, the Third City (Third Town) Inn, which reached after the Fujido and the others, was busy.

Many of the guests are those who make battle work. The lodging we took was somewhat lower in rank than the highest-ranked lodging Fujido took, but the average level of guests would still be close to fifty.

If we get to this level, we'll be in the top five percent from the overall level distribution of humanity. I can't say much because of the current situation, but they used to tell me that if I had level 50, I would be safe for life.

Stays that just threw their gaze all over the place were few women among the mercenaries and sometimes young, floating terribly in the tavern.

I smile and wave without being afraid of the curiosity gaze that can be directed at me, and Stay looks up at me and says:

"... so, Mr. Ares. When should I go to help...?

And Stay didn't know what the mission meant.

Her assignment is not to go help. You can just smell that without going to help. Fujido dies when I help him. The only person who doesn't understand that is himself.

I told you so many times, you didn't understand me. Seriously, I'm scared.

"You're really self-esteemed, you."

"I want to heal you, Remiss, by healing magic."

Healing magic can't cure my heart.

When the stay is loud, it moisturizes my eyes and pleads in a sweet voice. Maybe he's doing it without thinking about it.

This is a loan. Fujido!

"Stay, pointless help is not for the Fujido guys. Do you understand?"

"Huh... hmm... hmm? Don't know, sir?

"... see. I'll bury you."

I'm done threatening you, and I think it's time for you to return it, this guy.

In the first place, it's no wonder how I really got to 72 levels looking at my recent stays. I don't think I could cover Doji enough to use spiritual magic. First of all, someone must have helped, but it would have taken extraordinary patience to get her to 72.

I truly respect you.

"Wow, I get it..."

Stay shuddered once and gave me the courtesy of decreasing his voice.

That's right. That's fine. I'm very sorry to say this to your men, but that's fine if you listen to my orders.

Facilities for training co-located in the inn.

The way Aria would face each other in training, as usual. But compared to usual, it was like a fiery fire.

Aria's swordsmanship is an offensive swordsmanship, something like pushing it off by hand. Originally, Aria's sword to be trained was fast, but not so intense.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Countless slaughters unleashed on trajectories like a storm. Fujido was pressured for a moment by Aria's temper, who opened her eyes wide and growled, but calmly retreated greatly, breathing deeply and regaining her spirit.

Aria's level is currently 29. There are also differences in equipment, damage, and levels are gradually opening between Fujido and Aria.

No matter how each blow is filled with the mood for tearing, it is not something Fujido is somewhat accustomed to strengthening his physical abilities as he rises in level.

Aria's slaughter, including the feint, is forcefully bounced off with a shield, rolling out into the slightest gap that has arisen.

Fujido's sword tip is poked at Aria's throat. Aria stiffened for a moment but immediately lowered her sword.

"... what's really going on? I've been in the mood for a long time."

Ask Aria, who drains her strength and breathes roughly, wiping her sweat with the back of her hand. Other mercenaries' attention was drawn to the remuneration of the sword, which was too intense.

"Ha, ha... no... not yet. Still, sword speed for legging - there are many challenges. Quick, we have to be strong..."

Fujido rounds his eyes to words that are too emotional.

"What's that... about staying?

"... yes"

Biting her lips, Aria answered with a bitter look.

I had heard a whole lot about Stefan, but Fujido didn't quite understand the crap.

Somehow, a girl named Stefan Veronido hasn't done a big dodge in front of Fujido yet. I was sincerely surprised that I had fallen, except for that, about once I had fallen. I just think I care too much.

Once I heeded Aria's and Remiss's advice, I refused to join the party, but on the contrary, that's all I did because I got advice from my peers.

When I glanced backwards, far backwards, I closed my eyes with the rim standing, breathing quietly.

Meditation is the most basic training carried out by the Magic Instructor (Mage).

Throughout the journey, Rimis also meditated again and again, but its way of meditating without disturbing concentration, as if it were a tree, still looks somewhat different than usual, as does Aria.

Next to Rimis, the only Gresha, unchanged from normal times, was turning the hammer like a hundred million bucks.

It was an incredible sight no matter how many times I saw that waving a battle hammer bigger than myself at a childlike height, and I never knew if it was training at all, but Fujido was just a little horrified by that same sight as usual.

I turn from Gresha to Aria, who spins the hammer without expression, and ask her what she has been doing all along in the depths of her heart.

"... is it that bad? I feel like I care too much when I deal with it a little bit..."

"Lord Nao... I... trust Lord Nao"

"... Huh?

Aria declares abruptly.

To Fujido with a puzzling look, Aria stood up and said with a serious look.

"With that in mind, let me say that I understand that Lord Nao will not be confused by emotions, etc. - but the stay is... the most dangerous time to wonder if that is not the case."

"... to? What do you mean?

"No, I'm not doing anything. It's not like I'm going to do anything... but the frequency of dodges is going to explode."

"Exploding up..."

On the rebellious Fujido, Aria smiled thinly and tired, placing her hand on Fujido's shoulder.

To Vindo, who trembles victoriously in sudden contact, Aria says, creating a gentler voice than usual.

"Rest assured, Lord Nao. Lord Nao's chance to find out about it - I'm sure he won't come. Me and the remiss prevent it. The point is... you just have to be strong. Just get stronger. That's all we need."

"Heh?... heh?

"Hey, Remiss! I'm gonna gently put this together before Stay thinks about anything extra! If you don't do what you can, it's too late to regret it."

Rimis' eyes slowly open to Aria's words. Long blonde hair shakes in the fuzzy wind. Binoculars, sucked in, confirmed Fujido and Aria, whose hands held the wand strong.

"Um... I've trained quite a bit already, and I have tomorrow, so it's time to rest -"

It's training after a day of walking around and fierce combat. The sun is already setting. Fujido himself felt so tired that he felt heavy all over his body.

But Rimis smiled slightly at Fujido's words and immediately tied his lips.

My posture flutters for a moment because of my fatigue, but I immediately answer with a rebuilt harsh look.

"... right. I know. We need to be a little more efficient."

"Hurry up and get some healing magic. Stays may fall when you get scratched. I'd be careful not to get hurt, but I can't stay out of the fight."

"Huh... yeah... but it's still going to take a while..."

The two discussing each other in an impatient manner. Fujido feels alienated for the first time by the way it is, and comes closer to Gresha.

Ask the same girl how it is.

"Hey, Gresha. What am I supposed to do?

……

Gresha looked up at Fujido with an uninteresting face and turned her back.

Thanks for the Ares Support Campaign and so much support!

Thanks to you, additional rewards have been set.

If you don't mind, the extra rewards seem to be liberating in a little while.
