Nothing happened. It was a mountain.
It is not shaped as distinctive as Cliff Mountain, nor is it vast or elevated. It was a sloppy mountain with low altitudes like climbing in school when I was in elementary school.
Is it because there was a path in the mountains that I feel that way? A path that feels like a hill, not a staircase, crosses the mountain.
"That's an easy climb."
Charstena and the others agreed and nodded at the grunt. From those who have climbed Cliff Mountain, it's like clapping out a mountain. Cliff Mountain has no way, and there are many demons. Especially at one time.
Moreover, because it was abandoned, we had to step on the grass to move on. I don't get the feeling that I'm climbing the mountain as I experienced it. I feel like I'm going up and down the hill.
"It's more peaceful out there than I thought."
Anna remembered the demons she had encountered on her previous journeys and came to the conclusion that she was barely even tired. And I don't conclude that's because outside the city was more peaceful than I imagined.
"That's right - I thought there were a lot worse demons out there. I think I'm going to sleep."
Gold agrees with Anna's whining. And complain of drowsiness. When I realized it was peaceful, I felt drowsy.
He bites in and kills the lacunae and stretches his back wide with tears coming from drowsiness in his eyes.
"Don't go to sleep, okay?
I stabbed Gold with a nail.
This guy needs to put it in his mouth and tell me to go to sleep for real. We've been friends since we were young. I can imagine what this guy is really going to do.
"Isn't there a job for you if you think it's peaceful?
Anna uttered the words as she teased Duran and the others as she lay hands behind her head and looked sideways.
"On the contrary, we have work to do."
"Yes, yes. People like A-rank don't have a job, so they take D-rank requests."
Duran and Arul each talk to Anna about their work situation.
Then Anna changed her target to me this time.
"Let's not, shall we? Class A, current Mr. Ray?
I've known that since I was a kid.
"You're not even a kid now."
"One fried leg, pervert"
"Shut up, you bastard"
Me and Anna making a statement that hasn't changed for a long time.
It's been like this for six years. Now it's like a deal.
"If it's Wang Du or something, there's enough to rot the A-level request. They fly from all over. For that matter, it's gonna take a while."
This was the reason why Sister Shara disappeared so often. Sister Shara travels all the time.
Basil is an A-rank adventurer who has just received what Duran and the others call D and C. It's not like you don't have an A-grade request for a bad tach. I won't be bothered. Working and drinking. Working and drinking again. Repetition.
Come on, Shara, I think you can kick his ass.
"Guh."
"Get up."
"Ouch!"
I woke up in the gap Anna and I were talking about, knocking Gold asleep, walking cleverly.
He's really a guy who doesn't listen to people. I gave up improvement on that already. It's pointless because you don't listen to that word to make it better.
"It's gonna be a tumble ~"
"Know what? What about you, more than that? Is it about time you got a C-level?
I went with Gold to make a request about when. It was like an extension of play, but Gold was registered as an Adventurer then.
Then I went with him a couple of times, but he's been on his own a couple of requests, too, before I know it.
The first time I went there was quite a while ago, so I asked if it was time to go up to about C...
"Not yet ~. I'm going to relax."
and said in a relaxed tone.
Sounds like Gold indeed. My pace not to suit people. Whoever's partying with this guy will have a hard time.
"If you relax, you won't be able to eat one of these days, will you?
"Oh, well. I'm in a hurry."
"Something different..."
It would be like an aya of words, but I felt uncomfortable.
"Is Gold the same D-level we are!
Duran gives a joyous voice as if he had found his companion.
"Then why don't you come into our party when you graduate?
"I'm going to relax in the king's capital for a while ~. So I'm going to stop ~"
Flooded by Gold, Duran dropped his shoulder and regretted it.
I'm sorry you couldn't keep the promising stock company. That's what this guy is. I got caught, too.
I slapped Pompom and Duran on the shoulder as a fellow sickened as well.
"Gold's purpose is Anna, isn't it?
"Split ~"
Gold answers Charstena's penetration with no evil. Anna turned away with a little light.
"Pi."
"How dare you?"
Slightly poke the hack I said to Gordo with my gaze from above, greatly. Meanwhile, Gold forcefully declares that he will work hard without looking like he cared about it. Anna turns away again.
"You guys can afford it. I'm thrilled to know when the sawdust is coming out."
Al, who held his chest down and said it as if he were going to criticize him sideways.
He seems to be paying close attention to the surrounding area to see if there are any sasoris.
"Because Ray's here."
"'Cause this guy's kind of convenient."
"Temehe, throw it in a bunch of sasoris."
I stare at Anna. But Anna has been selling it a bluff and a fight.
Don't lick this guy.
"You've got good guts. I'm gonna skewer you with a sarcophagus needle."
"You're gonna get me right now. It's not me!
Yes, Anna was shy. He seems confident that I can't beat him in a restricted state. Unfortunately, I'm not wrong.
But the next moment, all of a sudden, Anna blew up. in the wooded mountains. And one act later, Anna's screams wooden spirits.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
I kicked my instantly licked little girl into a frightening space. That was such a place where there was a wondrous bubble of creatures that I didn't want to come near with Ujauja that I thought sasori was better.
"I don't like it anymore."
In response to a voice for help, Gold heads to Anna's rescue.
"Wait, Anna."
"Hayaku, no! Don't go in there.
I was just freaking out to hear Anna scream. My back itched and I shook my body unexpectedly.
Wow, I definitely don't want to go.
I turned to rescue Gordo. I looked at him like I was a brave man.
"Oh, my God, Bug, on my behalf."
"Take it, take it! Take it."
Gold jealous of worms. Anna was putting in a penetration even as she was attacked by insect terror by such a Gordo.
"Ha-ha-ha, thank you."
Anna and Gold came out of the shadows of yolo yolo and trees. Anna was supported by Gordo with a face that looked so disgusting.
"Anna's skin is velvety and soft."
"⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ ⁉ \82
She was Anna, who fisted aggressively at Gordo's sexual harassment remarks, but with her help she held her fist and stood on her own feet that it would not be there.
And stare at me.
"You go and come, too."
"Eh ⁉ya, don't..."
Hum and I caught me at bullet-like speeds. Anna always made sure I threw her in the sky and threw her in the devil's stash.
"Uh-huh."
Now a scream that won't be my voice makes a wooden spirit.
And then the explosion sound and the ground sound that sounds. And the blast knocked down the trees and saw me from the road.
That was like dressing up after a fierce battle with a powerful enemy.
"Eh ⁉"
Charstena leaked her dismay on behalf of everyone.
Why did you tell such a mess in those moments and those eyes were talking?
Charstena flies in haste.
"He was a mighty enemy, but evil was destroyed."
"It's not cool to tell a bug opponent you're worn out like that!
When I turned to the sun shining in the sky, and said yes and no matter how it was after the showdown, Charstena burst in looking at my wounds.
That's how I thought as I heard Charstena chant the healing magic.
I tried to seal this punishment.
After a tough fight, he hurried down the mountain saying he didn't want to get involved with those guys for a while.
As a result, it was only a few moments away from the city through the mountains at noon. By that time, the three Durans had already said Zeze, but encouraged them to do so because it was almost there, while making a Spartan statement that they were going to reach the city by the end of the day. Duran and the others were laughing bitterly as they had given up.
So, when we arrived at the destination Telelise by the end of the day, we went inside the policy to find an inn to take a day of fatigue.
The city of Therelise gave the impression that it was a little rough.
The ground of stripping, not cobblestones, as in the way of the king's capital. Garbage abandoned on it stands out and animal manure is falling.
The store is lonely and the crowd is small. A crude voice sounded from the store that was open, and I heard a brawl.
Overall, the city was dark.
Is that the city light or the atmosphere of people? I'm about to be indulged in the atmosphere myself.
"Hey, is this okay?
"... let's just find the inn. We'll talk about it later."
Anna dropped her voice and asked looking a little freaked out. I don't have an answer for that, I put it behind me.
Duran and the others showed me the way to the inn, and I was looking for the answer.
Overall, the atmosphere is not good.
I've never been able to tell if that's temporary or if it's always like this.
The road was littered with pieces of glass with blood, and there was always the sound of anger and contention from what seemed to be a drinker.
"Duran, is this always the way it is here?
"Hmm? What?
Duran didn't seem to know what the question was intended to be, and he asked back the other way around.
"I always wonder if this city has this kind of vibe."
"Atmosphere? Something wrong?
Duran looked like he didn't really understand. I asked this guy a question. When I was an idiot, I turn to the Shadow Leader Hang. But the hang with his eyes pointed at him also tilted his neck in a way he didn't really understand.
"... I don't know, it's dark, right?
"? Isn't that because it's night?
In the abstract, when I said what I felt, Duran tilted his neck and asked back.
I ask again, wondering why it doesn't tell.
"It's a city atmosphere. The atmosphere in the city is dark and rough. Is this the usual thing?
"? Is it dark?
"No, you're always right. It's like this everywhere, isn't it?
"Yeah. Doesn't feel weird...?
Duran asked Hang and Hang asked Al for his consent.
And everyone says nothing's wrong.
"... I see. Okay."
"? What did you find out?
"No, it's no big deal. Show me to the inn sooner."
"Ooh."
Doubt solved. I encouraged directions.
When we got to the inn, we broke up with Duran's party and took a room for four.
I didn't split the room, just in case.
But he said there was no bigger room, so he decided to take a different room from the Duran's party.
So we went into the room, put our bags down, and we all headed right for each other.
"In the meantime, the question we're all feeling is, this is probably normal. On the contrary, the Wang Du was just good."
"Does that mean this city is dangerous?
Anna asked anxiously.
You're timid of the habit of having a level of strength to fight S-class on your own.
I felt that way, but I thought we were only 13 or there. Still a child in the public. Maybe I can't help feeling anxious no matter how strong I am.
I thought too mildly about it. So I just said the facts without thinking.
"I don't know. Just don't call yourself an absolute nobleman. It could be targeted for gold purposes."
Hearing the words, Anna suddenly changed her complexion. His face turned bright blue, his body trembled, and he began to be frightened by something.
"Oh, hey, you okay?
Worried and voiced like an unusual Anna frightened, the tremor never stops. On the contrary, it makes me say beefy to my lips. Anxiety, no, it's not. This is fear. Anna's eyes had a color of fear.
"Anna, it's okay. I'll be fine."
Charstena gently hugged Anna and stroked her back. And spoke gently. There was calm there as if Anna knew what she was afraid of.
And Haku rides Anna's shoulder to hitch a ride to Charstena, licking Pelo and cheeks. I'm very comforted.
"Yes, Anna. I will protect Anna."
Gold took Anna's hand and forcefully declared to remove that fear.
Whether their encouragement worked, or whether they were relieved by the temperature of the two and one, little by little Anna's tremors subsided. Still pale.
"I'm watching you all night today. Rest in peace."
I didn't touch Anna's body to encourage her. I wondered what that was like in front of Charstena, and now I'm not sure what I'm scared of, I could step on the same again.
So at least I suggested a lookout in an attempt to allay that fear.
Anna snorts weakly as she trembles at it. There were tears in his eyes.
Terelise's night was not quiet. From time to time I hear a fierce dispute.
In the meantime, Anna fell asleep comforted by Charstena. Charstena didn't even leave Anna about sleeping, she slept on the same bed. Haku also slept with Anna in her ear.
"Gordo, you can sleep too."
"Yeah. I'm awake. I have to protect Anna."
Gold was still awake. I said I could sleep because I was watching, but I refused to do anything, and I had a strong eye that I was going to protect Anna, and I was looking out the window.
I watched it on the bed, sitting Zen together.
I'm not skipping the lookout. He spread the space across the city, eliminated blind spots, and watched everything.
It takes a lot of concentration to keep an eye on everything in the space that covers everything in the city.
It is also possible to sense all the trivial movements that occur in the city.
But out of it, pick up just what you need and see if there's any disturbing movement again. I can't keep up with brain processing very much. Normally.
However, a considerable amount of information can be generated by multiple thoughts, accelerated thoughts, and even more concentration.
As a result, we were able to keep watch without having to look at it.
Honestly, it's an overwatch. There are certainly disputes in the city. But I can tell you it's never gonna come flying at us. This is far from a drinker, and there are no such stores around here.
Some guys make suspicious moves on the road, but none of them bothered to try to sneak inside the inn.
But I didn't think I should do anything out of hand. So, seriously, I kept an eye on him with all my detection.
Gold also put his hands on a two-handed sword whenever a person appeared in its eyes and was on guard. There was always heat in his eyes. The fever of protecting Anna.
This is probably the first time I've seen Gold's eyes like this. If the guy who works with everything relaxed and dazed, for the girl he likes, that's all that's changed.
Love is blind, but in Gold's case, he is desperate to face what he does properly.
I really wanted to support this guy's love at this time.
It's morning.
The night was noisy. The city was quiet in the morning. I can't hear anger or contention.
I wake up Anna and the others.
She woke up. An instant later, Anna remembered yesterday, or turned her face bright red.
Look at Anna bored with shame, we're comfortable.
He slept through the night and settled down a lot. Then I thought I'd move now, but I remembered that I was in the middle of a request.
"I'm sorry, but let me sleep for about two minutes. If you need anything, Charles, I asked for it."
"Yeah. I got it."
Anna calmed down a little, so we could afford it. Decided I didn't need to leave town right now, I asked you to let me sleep for just a few moments.
I don't make unwanted mistakes all night long. I thought I should get some sleep.
That goes for Gold, too.
If we don't even let Gold, who is still distracted, fall, we'll force Gold to sleep half way through that he's still on lookout.
Then he slept on his bed with a flattering head all night long and took a frequent break.
When I woke up, Duran and the others were coming from our room.
She cared about me and Gold sleeping and was quiet, but when she realized what had happened to me, she quickly made a scene that she didn't need to worry about me anymore.
Gold also wakes up with that voice.
"Oh, dear."
As soon as he woke up, Gold looked at Anna and made sure she was smiling as she always did, getting back on track herself.
"I'm sorry, Gold. Yesterday."
"Fine. For Anna's sake, I can stay awake forever."
Anna turns away in the light because Gold says that in the morning. And I said, "Don't I have it? 'I let the penetration wander in my mouth.
I didn't get the timing in the first place rather than missing the time to say it. Words that lost their way wandered through my mouth.
"Something happened yesterday?
"Yeah, it's no big deal. Let's decide what we're going to do."
It was no big deal. I still think Anna messed up that far. But I wasn't willing to see it and tell Duran and the others not too long ago.
I'm calm now, and I didn't have to steam it back.
"Right. In the meantime, we need to find Arsh."
Duran was well flushed. And we gave them what they were meant to be, looking for Arsh.
"I mean, do we have to stick with that, too?"
The request has not yet been completed. Duran and the others have nothing to do with the request, but leaving is not a good idea when it comes to coaching.
I saw Anna. Honestly, there is resistance to wandering the city with Anna. Because I don't know when it will happen again.
Anna shook her head vertically when she noticed my gaze like that. I'll take it for good.
"Let's just go to the guild with me and Duran."
But I decided to leave Anna here. You don't have to force me.
First it's just me and Duran and the others, looking for information on Arsh. If I find it well, I'll leave the city saying something about continuing instruction.
That way, I thought Anna would never tremble with fear.
"Copy that. Let's just go get Arsh back."
"Apologize properly, Duran."
"That's right. I'm sorry I rubbed you any more."
The three didn't seem to have any doubts about leaving Anna and the others behind.
There will be a difference in my thoughts about Arsh, but is it because I want to bring him back the same?
Maybe I can't help but be somewhat indifferent to other things.
As such, the four of us roll out to the city. Leave it to Charstena, who probably knows what's going on, about Anna.
