Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

"Heh, that's the mining city of Noban."

Satsuki gives an exclamation for that view he saw at the end of the journey.

The girl in the kimono looked over to see the rocky mountains beneath the blue sky and the dwelling group that stretched from its midbelly to its foot (foot).

What we are now walking on is the streets leading to the mining city of Noban.

Satsuki next to me rocks that ponytail brunette and peeks into my face for a second.

"Hey Will, is there a hot spring over there or something?

Girl laughing without giving in to say that.

I sigh one thing when I see how it goes.

"Satsuki. Do you know what you're doing here?

"I know. It's a quest. What is it, Rockworm...? It's like a big mite. You're here to get rid of it."

"That's right. I'm not here for sightseeing."

"I know, I know, so don't say anything hard. If there's a hot spring, let's go in together, Will."

That's what Satsuki said, hugging me in my right arm.

It conveys a soft feeling over the kimono, and to be honest, it's pretty confusing.

But when I was worried about how to pull her off, another crew flew to Satsuki.

"Satsuki. Since when did you become a bitch when you weren't drunk?

Saying that and turning a jito eye on Satsuki is Mi, the girl who made herself a beast man and bandit (sheaf).

A small, childlike body with cat ears and tails representing the Cat Ear Clan (Myr).

Chestnut hair on the outside jump short, short shirts and trousers with sleeves that represent activity, and octagonal teeth that give a glimpse into the mouth, describe the girl's loveliness as still this.

"Absolutely. Your present, it's like a playgirl. Do you understand that?

Meanwhile, saying that and sending a cold glance at Satsuki is Cyril, the priest (Holy Order) girl.

When I was old, I was in the same mid-teens as me and Satsuki.

Purple eyes with intelligence and sincerity in semi-short platinum blonde hair.

The pure white robe, coloured with golden edge decorations, encircled her maternal silhouette seductively.

But Satsuki is not afraid to be exposed to the cold gaze of Mi and Cyril.

"My master taught me to love a maiden for a short time." I don't mean to, but if you were an adventurer, you might die tomorrow. I have to do what I want to do. "

"... I'm just angry at you for being so honest."

Cyril laughs bitterly when she says so.

Mi, on the other hand, sends a glimpse into the cyril.

"Then would Cyril do that too?

"Are you kidding me? Something I have shame in and out of. If it's just the four of us traveling, we can't do it where the other adventurers are looking."

To Mi's inquiry, Cyril said so and shrugged her shoulders.

Four of us, Satsuki, Mi and Cyril, have just taken a quest in Atlatia, a hub of activity, and traveled for about two days to the mining city of Noban.

The received quest is "Rockworm Exorcism".

This is a joint quest for Quest Rank D, which involves expelling a massive rockworm from a pit in Noban.

Rockworm, as Satsuki put it, is a monster like a giant mite.

However, it is said that the giant mite has enough figures to swallow a person whole, and that large mouths with sharp fangs will spit out acid that also melts rocks, and will easily devour heavy warriors equipped with sheet metal armor (plate armor).

Note that the term "joint quest" refers to a quest that multiple parties can receive at the same time.

In addition to our party, another adventurer party was commissioning this quest for this Rockworm exorcism.

And we've been on a journey to Noban at the same time as that other adventurer party.

They were now eager to see what was going on here with the flicker as we moved forward a little bit.

The Adventurer Party is a foursome gathering of mid-level adventurers from the D-ranks.

They're all men, and when they were old, they'd all be in their late twenties to early thirties or something.

"Shit, the E-ranked Hiyoko party feels like a picnic."

"Leave me alone. Oh, you're wrong. Young people will soon lose their lives. Whatever we say, we're not gonna give you ears."

"But then it's a waste. All three women, yeah, no. How about we eat before we die?

"Ha, that's good. Do you want to hit me in the pit? Let me tell you something scarier than a monster. And a woman's happiness."

"Dude, I hear you. I'm staring. I'm staring."

"Baka, I'm making you listen. I don't know what you're up to again."

They were cheering and laughing as they spoke such a euphemism.

He seemed like the type of people with less character who were often in adventurers.

On the other hand, the satsuki seemed more accustomed to working with them if they were doing adventurers, etc., and there was nothing like stuffing them up and biting them.

It just seemed uncomfortable, and this one was here, with Cyril at the head of it. He said he didn't like what he sounded like.

"Even if you look at me like that, I can only despise you with respect."

"Right. Wouldn't those guys be dying soon?

"But maybe it's like a cockroach because it survives until it's D-ranked."

The expression "cockroach" that Mi said seemed odd to say, and I blew it out lightly without trying.

I know you deserve respect just for continuing your adventurous life, but on the other hand, it seemed oddly fitting that the character was oh.

Adventurers are treated as a first serve if they become D-ranked.

New American adventurers gain experience and one goal is to reach this D-rank.

E-rank adventurers like us are still commonly treated as half servings.

Many adventurers, on the other hand, are D-ranked and the Adventurer Rank stops.

Even those who have been adventurers for years are told that only about 20% of the total goes beyond the C-rank.

For whatever reason, this is because the quest you have to complete to be C-ranked is too dangerous or too difficult for many adventurers.

The reality is that some adventurers try it and lose their lives, while others settle for quests of one lower rank, only a handful remain when they become those who continue to succeed after trying.

And the "quest for one lower rank" where many D-rank adventurer parties live is specifically a quest for Rank D.

On the other hand, it's also a quest for an E-rank Adventurer Party like ours to receive.

So in E-rank Adventurer parties and D-Rank Adventurer parties, the quests you receive often compete.

That's exactly what this quest was about.

Well, whatever that is.

Things are starting to go in the wrong direction.

I erupted into Mi's words, did that my reaction become a toddler?

The senior adventurers, angry at the mockery from the low-ranking party, finally stopped and turned their heels back towards us.

They stand in our way and stare at us to intimidate us.

"... hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey"

A man of good stature, like a warrior (fighter), walked up to me.

I'll grab my chest barn.

When I saw that, Satsuki's gaze stuck on my arm caught cold air.

She puts her hands on the knife on her hips as she leaves me.

"Hey seniors, get your hands off that filthy thing. Temeh is a warrior, too. If we're gonna meet here, I'm gonna be the one."

If you look at it, Mi and Cyril were also staring at each other sharper than before.

They are both in a position to enter the fight as soon as necessary.

On the other hand, the adventurers of the other side also start to look colored when they see Satsuki put his hand on the knife and pull out his weapon himself.

Immediate one-touch air.

But this is not a joke.

"Wait."

That's what I say and control the faint satsuki.

Then I turned my words to the man in front of me who grabbed my chest barn.

"If my attitude bothered you, I'm sorry, but disrespect would be mutual. Besides, violence between adventurers is against adventurer morality and not in each other's interest. I'm sure you know that better than we do."

"Chi......!

The man punched his tongue and took his hand off my chest.

And when he could not hide his frustration, he went back to his companions.

Then the Senior Adventurer Party, one last glance at us, just headed for the mining city of Noban.

I confirm it and breathe one big breath.

Apparently, the future is difficult.

Hopefully it won't be ridiculous like pulling legs between adventurers......

Hard to say, the world doesn't work the way it wants.
