I Said Make My Abilities Average!

This is a small, bordering city in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Marlene and close to its neighbours.

Even though it is small, there are also branches of hunter guilds and commercial guilds, there in the city. It is a "city for the rural people," about two to three ranks below Wang Du and the corresponding big cities.

Yes, Tajiba from the countryside is the one who says, "Today, with my grandson, I'm going to town every year."

In the first place, for the average civilian on the border, who is neither a merchant nor abandons the locality to run away, there may be one in a lifetime, such as going to the Wang capital. that realistic 'city' to them. That was Mafan, a small city on the border.

A city that is not too rural, too urban, with rivers running without water drying up even after considerable sunlight, and not so bad for a peaceful life.

Close to the borders with neighbouring countries, but relations with neighbouring countries were not so close, but not so bad that it was likely to be a war soon, and it was not such a huge problem. Conversely, it had a benefit as a relay point for trading routes with neighbouring countries, which worked in favour of this small city.

"Something seems like a relaxing city."

"On your training journey, relax and do what you can!

Miles of relaxing remarks can be embarrassed by Lena.

This is a room in the Inn taken by The Red Oath.

By way of example, the inn was decided after careful observation and listening to the city's inn.... Well, if you don't like it, you just have to replace it immediately.

Prices, room amenities, cleanliness, food, etc. are fine.

... There was just no cat.

There, there was no necromancy...

A couple of shopkeepers have a cook around the age of thirty and a waitress and housekeeper woman between the ages of seventeen and eighteen. The cooks and waitresses are usually hired employees because all the children went to Wang Du saying they were going to marry or fly a flag.

When Miles asked if the shopkeepers would not cook, he was distracted.

One or two things no human being wants to say to a man are things. So it was a mile where I heard nothing more.

There were no children who wanted to get miles, but this, waitress Mitera, was quite the crook.

She has redhead, blushes, and a loving face, but she has a bad mouth, is energetic, and feels strong.... Yes, she is an ideal 'waitress in an inexpensive tavern' feeling girl.

Because his age is almost as good as Mavis, who turned eighteen on his birthday, or he wants to get tangled up with Mavis. No, apparently, I'm not offended, but I'll go shopping with you on the day off, or something, and then I'm wrapped up, and Mavis is here a little bit.

"... why do you want to keep asking me..."

"Well, it's up to you because you want to take her around instead of your lover."

To Mavis' whining, Lena returned a merciless response.

"Nah..."

I'm stunned to hear that, Mavis.

"The red-haired, mouthless, carefree girl, she's in time!

"Hey, dude! Who are you talking about! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

That's just Mavis, too, slamming his hatred at you for being mucky, saying whatever you want to say to yourself, and Lena, who gets easily furious when people tell you to, is in hot mode.

"Aww, wow! Both Lena and Mavis, oh, please calm down. No!

Panicking miles.

And Pauline only gave up and flaunted her shoulders...

"So, this is the city's first request, okay?

Cockroach

Hunter Guild Branch, about to receive his first request in this country, the face of The Red Vow.

"Well, to the reception counter..."

"Wait, please!

When Lena chose the request she would receive and Mavis and Pauline nodded and decided, it seemed, Miles raised a voice of restraint.

"Look at that!

"" "Eh..." "

When Lena and the three of them looked at the person Miles pointed to, next to the request board, the paper was sticking out in a separate way.

"Emergency Request One Gold Per Person Crusade for Demons Overflowing from the Forest"

"... what, this?

Lena's voice of doubt was also natural.

Overflowing demons from the woods? That is rarely the case. Unless you have some extra reason.

And if it were so important, it would not be such a lengthy request, but the compulsory participation of hunters above the C-rank by emergency call. I don't know why......

"In the meantime, I'll have to ask."

When everyone went to the counter and asked for an explanation, the receptionist explained it to me with a troubled face.

"People from other parts of the country, right? Actually, there was a situation with that request..."

According to that explanation, the city is close to the border with its neighbours, and some of its borders are deeply wooded.

So it seems that the other side of that frontier forest, or neighboring country, regularly drives away the demons of the forest.... not 'crusade' or 'intermission', but 'drive away'.

And the demons pursued, naturally, flee to the other side, that is, to this country. When that happens, a territorial dispute begins with the demons who were originally on this side, and the losers move further to this side to get out of the woods, or weak demons escape, so that the surrounding residents are attacked, or damage is done to livestock and crops.

So we need to crusade those demons, but if we had made such a request every time, the peasants would go bankrupt. For this reason, the Lords will send out the leadership, but the leadership is an army that originally assumed to stop aggression from other countries first, and its training is centered on interpersonal combat. For this reason, demonic opponents are slightly different from the main business and are not very good at it.

Also, the soldiers' morale was not high when they gave their lives to defend their country, but did not like to die for demons or become bodies that were injured and had no military service, regardless of whether it was a battle with enemy soldiers.

Furthermore, even if it is less than once, the number of twitching soldiers will be lost and the damage done to the leadership will be considerable.

As a result, the lord has decided to hire a hunter who is used to fighting demon opponents for an increase......

"The soldiers and hunters in the leadership are not close enough to have a lot of rubbing problems, or fewer hunters to order..."

To Lena's words, the receptionist nodded.

"Yes, the soldiers in the Leading Army hate you because they don't like that task, they just say that hunters hurt their pride when they join, and they don't actively try to support hunters by turning them around in dangerous roles.

That's not enough, no matter how many lives you have, and no one takes it until you're deliberately made to feel bad about it, unless you're in too much trouble for money, a lover beyond your limits, or an idiot... And, "

The receptionist threw up, distorting her face to anger.

"This is, totally, harassment by neighbouring countries. I'm deliberately pushing demons here!

"" "" Ahhh... ""

It was a likely consequence of a possible situation.

And, of course, the 'Red Vow' reply to that.

Okay, I'll take the order.

"... Huh?

Consolidation, receptionist.

"Yes, no, now, what were you asking! Are you in trouble for money enough to take such a request!

"You're not, are you?

To the unexpectedly yelling receptionist, Lena denies the word.

"Not that, the third one."

"Huh?"

Lena laughed at it, continuing her words.

"So it's the third one. 'Cause I'm an idiot'. A good reason to try to take this request, isn't it?

…………

The receptionist and the other guild staff and hunters who had been listening until then were quiet, and the guild was surrounded by silence...
