"Strong enemy..."

"Damn, you're such a coward!

"I don't feel I can defeat..."

"... do you want to retreat?

The new US C-rank party, The Red Vow, was struggling.

The opponent is a flock of cobolts. Will there be more than two dozen?

Never, not such a strong demon. I'm not strong...

"Kee-yu......"

"Kum, kum..."

It was adorable. It looked, so...

(Cobolt means ugly fairies on Earth, evil spirits! How dare you be so cute!

Yes, the demon known in this world as' Cobolt 'had a body the size of a human child, a dog like organism with a head, and a puppy cuteness. And you.

but no!

"This!

He seemed like a demon and had a solid attack instinct.

Not so strong, that's from Miles, who are C-rank hunters, and is dangerous even one-on-one for children and women in the village, and it doesn't help even adult men or groups of several if they are surrounded by herds.

For this reason, I received the task of crushing and destroying the dwellings of Kobolt, which were made near the village….

"No! This time, it's not a constant request, it's usually a request!

If we withdraw as we are, that is, the failure of the request mandate! The name of "Red Vow" will be dropped after they take the penalty!

Yes, hunters are paid roughly 10% to 30% of the commission fee if they fail to do so while placing an order so that they do not fail at unwarranted requests or when one party receives a lot of work at the same time and fails to accomplish a monopoly quote.

The amount varies according to the project, which is cheaper if there is no demon thinning or urgency, but liquidated damages in excess of 30% may be provided for those that cannot afford a deadline, those that cause damage to the client if they fail or fail to achieve.

This request does not mean that the penalty is very high because the original remuneration is not so high, but if the achievement is delayed and the villagers are attacked in the meantime, the pressure on the hunters is great.

And what can I say to the parents of a child who was attacked by a cobolt and died if they really can't win, but if the reason for not achieving it was something like 'I couldn't kill him because he's cute'?

We all know that.

"I'll do it! We're C-rank hunters, this isn't a game, it's a job!

And people's lives are at stake!

To Lena's voice, Mavis, Pauline, and Miles also tightened their hearts.

Yes, this is an important mission that cost me my life.

And he said it wasn't just the lives of his people that were at stake, but also the lives of many villagers and travellers.

"Burn, Hellfire! Burn it down to the bones!

This is not in the woods, but in the rocks beside the streets along the woods. Lena, who had been good at fire magic for a long time, unleashed the original magic she was used to.

It's a crusade mission this time, and we all don't feel comfortable skinning Kobolt, no matter how much it sells. I wouldn't have a problem burning it.

Lena's fire magic slammed in around the cobolt solidified, and Pauline blocked the path of the cobolt rushing away from the center of the attack with a firewall, where Mavis slashed it with a sword.

Miles snipes a cobolt trying to escape with a slingshot.

After being defeated by the magic of the first Lena by fewer than ten, some more burns and blunt movements, Kobolt reduced the number one after the other to the pursuit of the four.

"We will now hold today's reflection…"

This discussion, which, as usual, began in the Lena compartment, was a futile one with dinner in the Inn's dining room rather than a meeting in its own room. There are already dishes lined up on the table.

"First of all, guys, what's the fight today? It was decent in the second half, but in the first half, because the cobolts are a little cute, don't you have any arrows? Are you licking hunter's job?

To that word of Lena, Mavis and Pauline lean at ease and stick their plate dishes.

"Oh, but the most upsetting thing was Ray..."

"Shut up!

Lena blushes a little, bangs the table, and blocks the words of the beating mile.

"Anyway, I think my" Red Vow "is inside strength, as we speak about ourselves.

But the problem is mental.

Well, I'm still young and new, so there's no choice but to say something like this, sweet or not serious enough... "

(Heh, Lena, I'm thinking pretty well...)

Miles was impressed. That, indeed, is what Miles thought.

Miles herself had the sweet idea of not knowing her original personality and the world, and 'If anything happens, if you really give it all you can, you'll figure it out'. I was somewhat aware of that, and I was going to be careful not to go out too far with it.

But Mavis and Pauline. Unlike Lena, these two had little experience in action as hunters. Only work for F rank for rest days in training schools and outdoor traineeships.

Earn and live on your job as a hunter. I go to work even if I'm a little sick, risking my life to make money. I mean, I don't see the temper or the seriousness of being chopped up.

Indeed, thanks to miles, I was blessed with combat power compared to the normal new American C-ranker. But that doesn't mean a lot before the knowledge and experience of a veteran C Ranker.

The battle against 'Mithrill's Roar' was not a serious battle, and that wasn't even a game. That was only a "test" and they would not have had any perception that they were "fighting" or anything like that.

He was keeping his strength down and paying attention to fulfilling the task of "I'll bring out the power of the newcomers well and create a show so they can pass". It just so happens to be shaped like poking through that gap.

Besides, if you were serious, even in that state, they would have had plenty of opportunities to fight back.

"So I thought about it. Once you can't defend yourself, are you willing to fight a mighty enemy?

"" "Eh............" "

To the surprised three, Lena explained.

"As it stands now, it's too easy for us to respond to prey hunted by the lower-ranked D- and C-rank people or to requests at that level. That's why we're all so relaxed, right? Stay put, or someone dies or gets hurt."

…………

Mavis and Pauline to silence. Miles is a bystander because he has already decided to reply.

"It's not like I'm going to do anything reckless all the time. If I did that, it wouldn't be enough to know how many lives I had.

Just once, do a job that we seem to manage to survive unharmed, understand the limits of our power, and then choose the right job for it.

Well, I guess a job that's usually done on a permanent basis is more or less appropriate for 70% of the limit that everyone needs to be too intact. "

"............... ok, let's do it!

"I agree"

After thinking about it for a while, Mavis first agreed, followed by Pauline nodding as well.

Apparently, they both felt insufficient for the status quo.

"Then tomorrow we'll carefully consider the work we'll take in the guild, and then we'll be ready for what we need.

It's not until the day after tomorrow that I actually get to work. "

"Okay."

Copy that, sir.

They answered Lena's instructions.

"Um, I haven't made a statement of intent yet..."

"You're in favor anyway."

"As, well, yes..."

"Well, that would be nice."

"Ha..."

It was somehow an uninterrupted mile.

"If you take advantage of your next job and increase the level of work you receive, you'll earn a lot more. Then we'll move to an inn with a bath instead of this cheap accommodation! Graduating from Affordable Accommodation is the only way you will be able to name your middle name. In the first place, Yasuku is..."

"Affordable accommodation, I'd say lodging! This inn doesn't look cheap, I'm just making it cheaper for my sisters!!

From across the reception counter, Lenny shouted.

Yes, this inn was that inn, where Miles stayed for six days until he came to King's Capital and put him in a training school dorm.

"In the first place, aren't you sisters, who have just graduated from school and have no money, asking me to keep it low until my income stabilizes! So I rented it out for an unrelated month without having to come home for a night job, and made it a broken price of three gold coins for a room for four! In anticipation of the advertising effect of a safe and cozy accommodation that young women are staying in…. Call me Love, Love, Love, Love!

Mostly, always eat at home when you're in the city! Otherwise, you don't make much money at that rate!

Plus, young girls stay every day, which means they expect to attract guests, so please don't cage in your room and wander around the ground floor more and show your love to the other guests! That would be the promise, when the price was negotiated!

"" "" Sorry!!

Renee, daughter of the inn, ten years old.

I already had enough piercing locks for you.

The four "Red Pledges" then cooperated in the sales activities by wandering around the ground floor and shops or talking to other guests when they were in the inn and had no particular business.

At the time of the price negotiations, it was Lenny who persuaded the discounted lady general and her husband to put out the word "attractive effect," and it may be up to the actions of the four of them to decide whether the female hunters who rush out in the future will be able to get a discount in this inn and, depending on its attractive effect, also receive such services in other inns.

Even for the many junior female hunters that follow, this place has to demonstrate its attractive effect even by killing itself.

"Oh, brother, can I sit here?

Miles with a tray with a meal on his hand and a puffy tremor on his bright red face, he heads to the male guest's table and smiles.

"... sister, you don't have to go that far..."

There were three of them, Lenny, and Mavis, Lena, and Pauline, who grew pale wondering if they had to do the array.
