"Rick!"

Cyrus also stood up unexpectedly and tried to follow him.

"Cyrus"

To the voice of the quiet mentor, Cyrus stopped once and answered without turning around.

"I know. Instructor. It's not just Rick's fault, though. But it's not safe to be alone in this situation."

And I left the room in a hurry. Hal nagged again.

"I don't know, I couldn't put it another way"

When the mentor stood up, he placed his hands gently on Hal's shoulder.

"Hal, that was impossible. It was the best way to take that story from Hal. Rick had to understand himself. You've made me a tough guy."

"No, it's okay"

All of us knew that the Deep Forest Line was caused by overdoing because we were interested in how to heal Rick's earth.

Each and every one of you, looking back at how it happened, knows exactly what the problem was.

That Rick drew the attention of the demons by pouring magic directly into the earth. If that was all, if I had time, my attention would have been to that somewhere. But then Shaw and his mentor poured out the same magic.

At that point, I completely caught the attention of the nearby demons.

Falco and Leon, who understood the signs as hunters, jumped out to take action before they understood why.

Hal ran to the meadows with an accurate understanding of the causes that drew the demon's attention.

Shaw and the mentor still realized that a little late, but couldn't afford to be explaining it to Rick and still had to run to the meadows.

"Really, not only Rick, but also me and my mentor's magic combined, caught the attention of a honey lizard, didn't they? So this time it's also our fault"

Everyone knew what Shaw said.

"But we put it on ourselves."

So that tells Shaw that Falco is breaking it off. Probably the same for the mentor and Leon.

"Yes, and I'm not going to bother telling anyone in town about this"

The mentor says so, not because he wants to escape responsibility.

Thanks to this event, we can make people in town ready that the town might actually be attacked. And even if we hadn't accidentally caused it, it would have happened eventually. Besides, there may not be a hunter's protection at that time.

"Though coincidental, for the people of this town, it can be described as a mass outbreak of demons, which occurred in the most fortunate circumstances. Falco was right, and we followed him at the end. There's no problem."

"I should have listened to that and gone, but Rick..."

Shaw looked over the door and sighed small.

I know I've stuffed Rick too much this past week or so. We couldn't even afford to talk about each other's circumstances. In the meantime, I know you've been doing well, but your experience has been too different.

"That, Hal. Do we have a surprisingly turbulent life?

"Shaw."

Hal shook his head like it was out there.

"Shaw's been through a lot more than me."

"I was just living normally."

My mentor looked away softly.

"Instructor?"

"Sorry. I can only say it was that kind of patrol"

Speaking of which, the request comes from all over because the mentor was the best healer, and because Shaw is a reincarnator, a new way of healing was conceived.

"Patrol"

It's not just that I was lucky enough to meet Falco.

Shaw saw Leon. I met this cheerful person, so I could remember my healing moves, and I could save Hal.

Shaw saw the mentor. I had a lot of experience because I met this respectable person.

And Shaw's presence allowed the mentor to think about a lot of initiatives as well.

Shaw saw Hal. Hal snorted. Neither is Hal getting fed up anymore.

"For Rick, we are"

"Be a good patrol"

That's the thing.

"Neither do we"

"I'm coming after you"

Shaw popped out of the room with Hal.

"Oh, boy, he's gone."

Leon put his hands together behind his head.

"Go after him."

"No, let's rather go down to the dining room"

Answering Falco that way, Leon stood up.

"Hal, Shaw, and Rick are now heroes to the people in town. Let's be the decoy downstairs."

"I don't know what to do, but I will."

I knew this past week's stay that Falco, who doesn't like to talk, would also flourish on his own as a "silent hunter" just to be on the spot in silence.

"And the mentor."

Leon pointed out to the mentor, who was relaxing on the chair.

"Me too."

"Instead, why are you just trying to hide yourself?"

"No, I thought I'd rather go on a tour of how the kids fold up when I get a little settled"

Falco and Leon really stared at the mentor this time.

"Well, I'd love to see it, but you should be patient there as an adult."

Falco preaches in great seriousness.

"Falco......"

Ignoring the cold-eyed Leon, a mentor whispers sweet words to Falco.

"Then why don't we all go check it out?"

……

Falco, who has solidified, must think that might be a good idea too.

"Not if you're confused, Falco."

Leon unexpectedly pressed Falco's shoulder against the entrance to the room.

"Let's go, mentor, too."

"I have no choice."

The three headed downstairs, thinking I'd do it to a mentor who finally stood up.
