"You got a minute?

"What's up, young lady?

We had a party member and Mr. Gilbert with Mr. Mishrina lead us to an adventurer.

The person is an S-rank adventurer who is supposed to take command of the adventurer.

I knew at first sight that I was a powerful man, but there was more to the adventurer than that.

"It's a tiger tribe..."

A tiger's ear was coming out from above his head besides the ear attached next to his face.

There were other features, such as a thin mustache stretched out of his cheek on hair darker than the people's, nearly two metres tall, and a gusty physique.

I've never seen it before.

I didn't see much of anything other than people in the kingdom, and I could see people of different races in the empire, but I basically only stayed for a short period of time, so I didn't have time to observe people closely.

So this was the first time I had ever seen a tiger tribe.

But what matters now is that the target is an S-rank adventurer.

Mr. Gilbert is supposed to be in charge of practical command, but he will need someone to take command in the field as well.

That's why a white feather arrow stood on the only S-rank adventurer in the Principality of Ishgaria.

"We've had a few changes to the operation, so report."

The final decision rests with Mr Gilbert.

However, the adventurer was more accustomed to acting in the field, so he also needed to get his consent.

Changes to the operation - after dealing with the forces pushing from the south, we also planned to deal with the forces pushing from the southeast, but we were to be entrusted with the forces on the southeast side, which we were to join abruptly.

The S-rank adventurer's expression is distorted when I tell him about it.

"I can't accept imitation leaving it to someone who doesn't know how many young ladies ask for it or how strong it is."

That's right. Even I disagree if I'm in the opposite position.

Even if we have the strength... we are the ones with the strength to leave reckless maneuvers to us to be feathers that later make us struggle even harder at the point of failure and sacrifice.

"If it's their track record, it's no problem."

"Achievements,"

"That's not just an achievement either. I can't just leave the operation to the reckless if I don't have enough track record to deal with the army with a few of us."

"Something like that..."

Mr. Gilbert tries to deny it.

You can't have a track record like that if you're normal.

I would never imitate such as personally challenging an army against an opponent in the first place if I had a normal nerve.

But I've had it by chance.

"Do you know about the war that took place earlier in the spring between the Kingdom of Metis and the Glenvarga Empire?

"Oh."

"Then you know how it ends."

The army was defeated by just a few adventurers.

Afterwards, the end was known because nobility and heavy ministers who were aggressive in invading the kingdom were solemnly proclaimed one after the other by those who were newly appointed emperors.

It's just that most people didn't trust me.

Because they thought it was reckless to challenge the army on an individual basis.

"You?

The Tiger Adventurer looks at us in turn.

The expression gets even more rude for a party full of women.

"What?"

The last time I saw Iris, my voice rose.

The look on his face seems surprised that he met someone he knew unexpectedly.

"You know him?

"Um... a little before"

Apparently, Illis had visited the Principality of Isghalia at his request before.

Previously - Back when I was partying with Mr. Phillip and the others, Krashel merchants really had to go to the Principality of Ishgary, and they happened to be free hands where they were trying to hire additional escort adventurers, and they weren't even close to the merchants to take on.

The escort itself ended fine, but he had trouble with the local adventurers when he visited his destination, the Adventurer Guild in the capital of the Principality.

Trouble...... he was an A-rank adventurer at the time - he was challenged to battle by Spike.

Sometimes in the middle of a request for escort, he didn't feel like taking on a battle with someone who had an atmosphere like a battle freak from himself, so he left the Principality of Ishgalia behind with a merchant who had finished his job after a conversation without Yeyeh.

He hadn't even had a chance to see me since, so he'd completely forgotten.

"Are you the only S-rank adventurer in the Principality of Ishgaria?

"What, you got a complaint?

"I doubt it will serve purely rather than complain"

Can a condition of being recognized as an S-rank adventurer be an exclusive adventurer of the country?

Naturally, I have to deal not only with my strength but also with people like nobility and royalty who are at the heart of the country because I am an adventurer who serves the country.

Can a man in front of you do such a sacrifice?

"That was two years ago, but it doesn't look very different"

"I didn't want to take on noble fences or anything because they were troublesome. I'm more sexually suited to beating demons at will."

Only its strength was recognized and it went up to A-rank adventurers.

I haven't worn etiquette or anything at all because I didn't originally grow up so well, and I don't really wear it because I don't intend to be remembered for being taught.

I'm like a surrogate.

Until just about the time Iris met, another adventurer was the only S-ranked adventurer in the Principality of Ishgalia.

The adventurer was a man who had been an adventurer for decades, a great veteran with enough bargaining power and guts to cross equivalently into aristocracy and other powerful opponents.

Even such a big veteran... was no match for old age because he was a big veteran.

"That grandfather... until that day he was healthy himself, but one day he passed away lovingly"

Sudden s-rank adventurer's obituary.

The heavy towns of the country who decided that there was no S-rank adventurer in the country had decided to approve it on the basis of strength alone.

"At that time, coincidentally, it was just after I defeated Cesar Pent, who showed up in the harbor town, so I stopped in the eyes of the people of the country."

Cesar Pent is a sea snake-shaped demon with an elongated and huge body.

Demons feared not only by ordinary people but also by adventurers because of their fierceness and eating anything and having a hard scale making it difficult to crusade.

I crusaded such demons alone.

They've gotten pretty noticeable.

"I'd like to give it up as soon as there's someone else."

But it's hard to see anyone showing up to do more impactful feats than a Cesar Pent crusade.

Usually he had a bad tone and was a spike with a battle-loving side, but he was able to act as an S-rank adventurer without any problems, even though it was critical because it was possible to use honorable words against nobles like Mr. Gilbert if necessary.

I just didn't want it to last long as my temperament.

"What I care about is your strength."

When I encountered him two years ago, I challenged him to battle because there was a girl who seemed as strong as me.

"The atmosphere is changing compared to what it was then, and I'm pretty sure it's gaining strength."

Still, I can't be trusted to be told that I have enough strength to deal with the army because I see him two years ago in my head.

Only one can rely on one's own strength at a time like this.

"I'm gonna need a little help."

"... I'd love to"

Iris' gaze can be directed at Mr. Gilbert and me.

Spike, the opponent, is like being hired by the next Grand Duke, Mr. Gilbert. Spike now called Mr. Gilbert 'the young lady'. You could get hurt, albeit in a mock fight.

What you've been asking me is, to what extent can I show my strength?

There is a definitive difference between when we met two years ago and now, 'family', so we can't help but have a difference in strength.

Show your strength and you'll stand out.

But it's not enough to win to get solo action in the future.

It is desirable to win with overwhelming strength.

"Do everything you can to keep you from getting hurt."

Copy that.

When I send instructions in a mindset, Illis leaves in front of Spike.

"Okay."

"Then let's play a battle we couldn't have done two years ago"

"Whoa."

Cheers come from adventurers who were spared time.

A mock match is seen between the most powerful adventurers of the Duchy of Ishgaria.

The adventurer who was watching what was happening was exciting at once.
