Thought not during the day, but in the darkness of the night, Syrah's dark armor, lit by bonfires, looks quite horrible the first time she sees it.

When we headed to the village chief's house where Ann was, the waves of villagers gathered around the bonfire had to be broken. Those who approached him to speak also hesitated to speak.

The contents are cute, Syrah, and if you look closely, the ears and tails that are a little out are cute.

Usually for the convenience of moving around with a big shield on my back, I can't hide my armor with my cape, or let it fight on the front line, so it can't be leather armor like Francesca's.

Until the new armor is complete, and it shouldn't be as harmful as it is. Besides, it might be nice for Lilia and Tirica, who are just lightly hiding their faces in the hood, to hide from Syrah and not stand out at all.

"That armor, isn't it quite an echo"

"Yes, Sister Lilia. That's an elf blacksmith. It's a good job."

Even though the villagers are blatantly afraid of you, Syrah seems rather happy to say that.

"I liked it, that?

"This is how you draw attention to me, and that's all the others will be safe, right?

I don't know how effective it would be on a demon opponent, but an interpersonal would certainly be immense.

"I'm ready, Syrah. My concubine would have liked to play that role."

I guess that means I'll give you the shield.

In fact, Lilia's ability to shield is pretty high in the Spirit Guard. It's also impeccable for magical aggression. Syrah is overwhelmingly inferior to Lilia right now.

But with me, Lilia is versatile, so it's more convenient to keep her free hand than to secure it to the avant-garde.

Besides, if you want Lilia in the front row, it would be fine with me or Satti, and where I was a long way lost, it really helped me with the shield role subscription.

"I'll take care of it, Sister Lilia"

"Mm-hmm. But if the shield is hard, you say it right, right? I'll take your place whenever you want."

Haven't you given up the avant-garde yet? I'm talking about allowing myself to stand avant-garde if I can master swordsmanship and shield skills, because I assign points over magic systems, but so far I don't see avant-garde skills growing. Instead of swords and shields, there is a long way to go before anyone who has hardly ever exercised has acquired combat skills.

But the elves are also long minded. It's only been about two months since I started training, and I seem to think I should take a few years to remember it carefully.

Lilia seems to be striving for a style where she cuts into the enemy while letting go of her magic like me.

Nothing. I didn't go in there because I wanted to, did I?

The biggest house I could see on a short walk through the square was the village chief's house, where Ann was being treated in one of the rooms. Will and Francesca also refrain from being in the corner of the room. It would be an old man who doesn't seem to be very urgent waiting for treatment, which would mean that he has already had a lot of treatment.

"Good day. How'd it go?," said Ann.

"I think I was just building a nest, and I just crushed it."

"Oh! That's an A-rank party. Fast work," said this to the village chief.

Continue to explain in detail the location and condition of the nest, etc. Probably no longer there, but since it's night, there are limits to confirmation.

But for now, just crushing the nest seems enough for our job. The villagers can fight, and they say they have a system that allows them to call for rescue from the neighborhood when they are finally in danger.

"By the way, I'm talking about rewards..."

Speaking of which, you left without negotiating a reward.

As far as I'm concerned, I thought it was volunteering for the temple because it's the job Ann got, but considering it's a request I got as an adventurer, we're an A-rank party. There should be quite a fee.

"This time it's a request from the shrine, so let's talk about it there"

Looks like the village chief was relieved by my words.

Where I was disappointed, there is no more money in these villages. There will be some crusade rewards out of the Adventurer Guild, and the details are a round throw at Ann. Ellie says that doesn't matter either. Ellie feels more famous than money here these days.

As always, party decisions are made by me, Anne and Ellie. Lilia talks a little too, but I don't care about money like today. Syrah, who's new in, shouldn't have cared about the financial aspects, and Will's parents are incredibly rich. I have all my gear made by the elves, and I don't need to get bummed when it comes to money.

"What's more inn today than that? I want to rest early because I'm tired."

"I'm having it ready upstairs here. I have a bath, too," Ann said.

The room seems to be big enough for everyone in the big room and a bath or two or three people to take their time.

Let's take a bath today and go to bed when we have a light meal. I would never do a banquet or anything like that.

I didn't do anything tiring in two fights, but I left at dawn today and was traveling all the time. Besides, the alert detection while on the move is useless with wind cuts while Satie's ears are on the fly, and my detection is really the main thing, and this is pretty tiring.

However, the village chief has offered to set up a welcome banquet.

Well, what do we do? Syrah helped me if I thought so, too, to say no without saying yes to my favor.

"The Lord is tired."

So the village chief shut up with one shot. Dark armor comes in handy sometimes.

"It's a journey of haste. It's enough to have an inn ready."

That's right. Follow me. Plus today's reflection and I need to talk to you about skill swing because I've got a higher level, and I don't have time for a slow banquet.

Right. Shall we get together first for a reflection?

"Ann, I'll help you with the rest of the treatment. When we're done, let's get together and talk about tomorrow's plans. Everybody go back to your rooms first and be generous."

The treatment was soon over because of the two of us.

The room I was planning to stay in was huge there, and the furniture was dropped in the corner so I could add a bed.

I asked Satti to help me, take off my gear and get dressed easier, sit appropriately in the car seat on the floor and start a reflection...

There's Francesca. I told you I'd talk to you about tomorrow's appointment. It's something to kick out, okay?

"Well. It was my first real fight with the addition of new members, but any opinions on today's fight?

"I wonder if you've both done well."

Yes, Ellie says, and everyone else agrees.

"I agree, but I was wondering if we could have fought a little easier and safer."

Yet I'd like a way for both of us to make a disappointing amount of experience.

"But I also want to have practical experience by Hiragis, so it's like fighting today, isn't it? There's no other way to risk it."

I don't think it's a bad idea to earn experience safely and be strong, but what about the two of you?

"What do you think of Will and Syrah? All of a sudden I let you go into the oak today."

"I'm fine with more dangerous battles, Lord."

"I think this is enough for me."

You broke my opinion.

But for now, if it's as dangerous as it is today, can I mean acceptable?

"I don't mind if you let me out a long time ago, either," Francesca said.

I want you to be nice to me if you can.

"But you promised the Duke you wouldn't let it be too dangerous."

"If you let me use my own armor, it wouldn't be as dangerous as an oak attack"

Sure, but I'd also like to use that kinky armor. Anyway, a normal hunt wouldn't have Francesca's turn.

"Master Fran is an escort, so you don't have to fight, do you?," Satti gave an unusual opinion.

"But don't you have a hand in letting them play as well as I do?

"Then if we get enough enemies out of our hands, I'd like to ask you to feel like today at the moment"

"I got it."

It won't be the first time for such an occasion. To pinch us, we're going to need enough power to destroy the country.

"And what about Fran's share of the reward? I fought a little today, and you want to be in the fight ahead, don't you?

"I don't need a reward."

Well, Francesca's rich, too.

"So don't hesitate to let them hurt you."

"You knocked one down today. Now you can always boast that you've been mixed up with adventurers and defeated orcs."

"This is how I got on my journey. More flinchy fights..."

I've never been close to dying in action, so I can say that.

"Then I'll deal with you whenever you want, won't I?

"I'd rather try it with Masaru than that. You're stronger than Satie, aren't you?

The spear came this way. Lighter would be a good training, and I could deal with them.

"If I could spare some time."

At today's pace, I'm not likely to get much time to train. If you fly for about eight hours a day, put in a break, and eat some more time to figure out what the hell it is, you could stay on the move from dawn to sunset. Actually, that's what it looked like today.

"I don't know about that. I tried flying all day today and I still have room for the Spirit. So I thought I'd give you a fly travel speed."

He said he would reduce the distance he was spending eight hours on to about five or six hours without changing the travel distance of the day.

"Honestly, it's hard not to fly for eight hours a day"

Yeah, I know that very well. Those on board are a lot easier than on foot or in a carriage, but even though almost at the disposal of the Spirit, the sorcerer's side seems tired without activating the magic.

I have less time to be vigilant and it's going to be easier...

"Then you're going to have plenty of time. I'll be looking forward to it!

Well, can I get revenge? I've seen plenty of how Francesca fights, and if she's in good health, maybe she can fight some more with only her sword.

"Speaking of fighting, the villagers said there were suddenly more demons here. I'm talking about maybe that's coming from Hilagis," Ann said.

"Isn't Hiragis a long way from here?

The carriage will take two months.

"It's a long way from here. It's only recently."

Has Hiragis fallen for about five months? Is there a demon breaking in from an empty hole in Hiragis all the way around here?

If that's true, does this route toward straight hiragis mean cancer hits demons?

"But if that's happening, why didn't you start the recapture operation sooner?

I know it will take a while to gather a massive force, but in five months we should have been able to decide on an operation at once.

"Hiragis is about to have a rainy season, so you must have hated it."

According to Will, the rain is bad enough to submerge in some places, and if the army can't move after entering deep into Hiragis, it becomes a dead and alive issue.

I see. So is it unclear that the start time of the operation depends on the weather?

"Anything else? No? Then you take a bath first. Satie, let's go in together. How's Syrah?

I need to see if Syrah's body is scratched with armor or every inch of her body.

Looks like Tirica and Lilia are coming in with us. The five of us are a little tight, but that's another good thing.

I thought there would be nothing pornographic about it during the trip, but wouldn't it be forgivable if it was enough to remove some of the sharks in the bathroom?

Anne and Ellie took a bath instead.

Will and Francesca... outside? I hear a wooden sword crossing with Cancún.

"Shall we wave our swords a little too?

"Yes, Master Masal"

Today is the practice of that move that Your Sergeant showed me. I'm not going to show it to Francesca, so take Satie and Syrah and sneak away from Will and the others.

I just showed it to you once, but I had a tip. Stand and feet later.

Satti noticed that at that time there was a foot left on the axial foot side of the Sergeant's palace that was unusually deep.

Probably putting the power of the foot on the sword's swing to increase the instantaneous force, but all we could reproduce as it stands was just a powerful blow, not that fast.

"I haven't stepped foot enough. Sergeant's was deeper."

Of course we're doing everything we can, but still shallow. Though the soil, the practice area is a hard ground that has been trampled. I haven't been able to attach the rest of my legs so easily.

Step in enough that it comes with it. That must have put a considerable strain on your feet. Sergeant, your knee is broken. I've never heard of healing.

I just finished coaching by showing it as much as I could, maybe my knees were pretty bad already.

"The sword path is deep."

"Yes, I look forward to training"

"Looks like you're ready for dinner. Let's keep it that way today."

I heard the village chief's family going around calling.

Returning to the village chief's house, Francesca, dusted by the hot water, came out of the bathroom.

"That Will is a good man. It's been a pretty good practice."

Well, swordsmanship level five. Will will be a good trainee too.

But it would be just fine if Will would deal with Francesca. Besides, Will, as an individual, it wouldn't be a bad thing to keep it through personal friendship with a neighboring royal family.

"Yes, yes. You feel qualities for him, don't you? I guess as soon as I work him out, he'll be able to fight like me."

Well, compared to me, it feels more or less qualitative.

"Ho."

Francesca seemed a little intrigued.

All right. We'll leave Will in charge of Francesca during the trip. He's also royal to the Empire. It's not good for me or anyone else to get their hands on it, but I'm probably fine with it, even if something went wrong with him.
