How To Live In A Different World

Episode 5: Escort Journey

"What do you say, George? Anything?

The person who inquires is Mr. Mare, a traveling merchant.

I currently stand on the roof of the carriage looking around and responding.

"No, there are no demons within sight for now. Keep the carriage moving."

"Okay. Then keep watching me."

I've been doing this kind of interaction almost all day.

Right now, I'm escorting the merchants.

The reason is that I have no more monsters around the village, so I have no more prey to hunt.

So after much thought, I talked to the priest and he suggested I go to the big town and work as an adventurer.

It's just that walking to town is at least three weeks away.

A small village dots along the way, but Nojuku is certain.

However, it is totally suicidal to sleep smoothly in a field where there are demons without a watch on your own.

It would be nice to go wild like some RPG game or be a safe item, but this world hasn't been made that conveniently.

So it was decided that the merchants trading supplies on the first of the month would be escorted as escorts to take a carriage to town.

When I asked the village chief to mediate, he looked disgusted at first.

As far as the village chief's concerned, he wanted me to marry someone in the village and do the demon extermination around the village like this all the time.

He managed to convince the priest to mediate and the village chief talked to Mare, the captain of the merchant squad.

At present, the merchant corps is escorted by five junior top adventurers, but when I heard the strength of sweeping the demons around the village by myself and told them I could just give them a ride to town, they were happy to allow me to accompany them.

The merchant and captain, Mr. Mare (M), is 45 years old, his assistant, Mr. Karna (M), is 23 years old, and his merchant apprentice, Mr. Gash, is 10 years old.

In addition to that, the Adventurer's escort

Warrior Gal (M), 18 years old (Leader), Adventurer E

Mill (M), 16-year-old adventurer, level E.

Naria (Woman), seventeen-year-old adventurer, E-rate.

Kira (Woman), an 18-year-old adventurer, level E.

Kea (man), a 14-year-old adventurer, level E.

They are the official adventurers belonging to the adventurer guild of the fortified city of Barreth, where is the castle of Count Garen, the final destination on which they are headed.

Still, about the top level of beginners, it seems like it's a young party in everything, or they've done more than ten escort assignments for the merchants.

Young but serious escorts are trusted by the captain, Mr. Mare.

"Mr. George, that sounds bad. Let me be a lookout all the time."

Gull, the leader of the convoy, says with a sorry face.

"What are you talking about? It's the right material. Overall, it would be less dangerous for me to fight because I have good eyes. I don't care."

I'll lighten Gal's heart.

Well, as a matter of fact, I'm not getting paid for an escort, so I don't really have to do that much.

"I don't watch nights, so I'm gonna do this."

For once, the village chief made sure that I could sleep well at night.

"That's it. Because George's eyes are very good. Because of that, I have never eaten an unintentional blow from a demon before. It's more proof than anything else that we're progressing much faster than planned."

That's what Mr. Mare said and told Gale.

In fact, if you look from the top of the carriage along the street using the full capabilities of the eagle's eyes, you know exactly where the demons are lurking, roughly.

Especially if it's close to a plain like the one I'm on right now, it looks good up to 5 km away.

And because we can discover demons as soon as possible and more accurately determine their type, we can stop the carriage at the right time to avoid demons, and let five people protect the carriage so that I can run ahead and crusade.

Well, the demons that emerge were mostly goblins or oaks, and they weren't currently my enemies with exceptionally improved skill sorting skills.

Accurately discern demonic traits and weaknesses, choosing the weapon that sucks for the opponent and is best for him.

And by raising only the required status, we are able to achieve results that are unlikely in our original strength.

I'm an amateur who doesn't train in martial arts or swordsmanship, but really, it's a skill bonus.

"No. But it's really bad. We're just walking around the carriage. And all the demons that you discovered, Mr. Yoji has defeated them first."

"Brother, you don't have to say any more. If you worry too much, you'll be bald."

It was the mill that put it in from the side.

He's Gal's brother, and he's a pretty light-hearted kid.

"But for once, we're the official escorts, so I think it's too much fun."

Gal still seems to care.

"Gal is really worried. We just have to be serious when we have strong enemies."

Kira tells Gal to listen.

Naria and Kea snort and agree.

"Is that okay with you?

and gal is still troubled.

Seeing that exchange, I honestly thought it was a very good party.

The leader Gal thinks about the whole thing, ensures the danger is avoided, and the rest is well aided by it.

I honestly thought the individual strength was low but well balanced.

They are all children who grew up in the fortified city of Castle Barreth, of different ages, but registered as adventurers on the same day and partied on its edge.

Then this is how I have been safely and safely an adventurer for two years.

According to Mr. Mare's story, the adventurer seems to be the best gateway to the first year.

A lot of them die in the first year for some reason.

Perhaps not a single one of their such interactions has been lacking to this day.

"Yet Mr. Yoji is really versatile and sturdy, isn't he? To be honest, it's hyorous, and even Keer feels like he can win."

Now Mill's provoking me a little.

Naria continued,

"Yes, it doesn't mean that you have special technology, but you quickly defeat goblins and oaks by yourself, and you use healing magic and attack magic, and it's everything."

"How can you be like that?

The last thing Keer asks me is a question.

"That's right. You guys. Hmm. It's the business of my genius. Ha-ha-ha."

Properly deceptive, I cut the story off.

"" Eh. Please tell me. ""

The five looked a little unfortunate.

We continued our journey quite pleasantly with such an exchange, and we were to encounter a very troublesome enemy at a place called one village away from the fortified city of Bales.
