Kage no Eiyuu no Nichijou-tan

Eighteen stories, "The Raven Exorcised."

The day after I got my adventurer's license.

We got to the guild again, and we were looking for a request from the bulletin board in front of the counter.

"Mize, what types of beginner requests are there?

"Uh, for example... is this it?"

To my question, Mize points to a piece of paper stuck out on the bulletin board.

"This is a request to collect medicinal herbs. This is relatively safe, and I think it's easy for beginners."

"Huh. But the rewards are cheap."

"Right...... when we split the four of us into mountains, it's only a really small forehead. Looks like this herb collection is for individuals."

I didn't sign up for the guild because I wanted nothing gold, but I felt I could make it a little more difficult. I guess the other three feel the same way. Look for another request.

"Then how about this? Sharp Rabbit Crusade and Nail Collection"

Gran points to the other paper and says:

After reading the request, Elysia tilted her neck.

"Sharp Rabbit is the kind of demon, isn't it?

"Oops. Simply put, you have long nails. These nails will become weapons if they're processed, and drugs if they're crushed."

Sharp Rabbit knows me well, too.

It is a demon with very high fertility. Anyway, on top of the large number, its nails and skins are so versatile that it is so demonic that they say, "If you find them, don't dare hunt them".

"I don't mind, but is Gran familiar with this Sharp Rabbit?

"I used to hunt in my hometown. You can leave it to me."

"I don't like that because it's humiliating"

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Gran says with a cramped grin.

In fact, Elysia would make it as easy as Sharp Rabbit to take down. The burden is never concentrated solely on the Gran. It's a request these four can accomplish at their leisure.

"Gran, where is the place?

"Hmm? Oh... that's a do-boot forest. It's about half an hour's walk from here."

On the way home, I would also like to use a carriage if I thought about carrying the nails I collected, but given the reward money, I should probably go on foot.

The guild has a carriage lending service and has its price list in front of the counter. I checked the charges when I got my license, but if I were to rent a carriage at the request of the Sharp Rabbit crusade, the final profit would be about the same as the earlier herb collection.

I don't want the money... but it's a memorable first request and I miss the fact that I barely have the reward on hand.

"Is Mize okay with this request?

"Yes."

"Then it's settled."

Peel the requisition form for the Sharp Rabbit crusade that was stuck out on the bulletin board and the four of us head to the Alliance's counter.

I showed my license to the receptionist, and we officially ordered the request.

I walked about thirty minutes on foot from Wang Du.

We made it to the Dboot Forest, and we quickly searched for Sharp Rabbit.

"Sharp rabbits are cowardly demons, so in the case of forests, they often hide behind bushes and trees.... Basically, it's safe to stay away, but some guys jump out of the bushes occasionally, so if you're anxious, activate Ligament (Reggie) right now."

Gran, who has experience hunting sharp rabbits, explains as he searches for a target.

Mize activated Ligament on the instruction. A thin membrane of magic is stretched around the blur and mise.

"Are you sure you don't have to use Ligament?

To Mize's inquiry, the three of us share our thoughts.

"I'm used to it, I'm fine."

And, says Gran.

"I can activate right away, too, so that's fine."

And, says Elisia.

"You won't have to activate it now because there's no sign of it"

And I said,

They each use their strengths to determine the situation accurately, although for different reasons.

When I heard our answer like that, I showed Mize how depressed I was.

"... I will take care not to pull your legs as far as possible"

To Mize, who said in a small voice, me and Gran, Elisia looked at each other with an awkward face.

Discuss with less volume so Mize doesn't hear you.

"Hey, do something about it. Mize, you're depressed."

"No, I don't care what you say...... TO, TO, TO, I left it to you!

"Don't pretend to be impotent"

We never thought of Mize in the first place.

Ning Lo, the three of us just hitched a ride to her desire to be adventurers. We're supposed to be the ones who care, never Mize.

"Hmm?... I was there. Sharp Rabbit."

Gran stops inadvertently and whispers.

There was a raven in the bush about ten meters away. Her body hair is white, but her blackened nails are straight out of her legs.

"From now on, I'll show you an example. The three of you stay back and watch."

That said Gran headed to Sharp Rabbit by himself.

Do not make footsteps and slowly attempt to approach with the signs diminished. It seems true that he was hunting Sharp Rabbit in his hometown. It's a move into the hall.

Gran activates Ligament after approaching the critical point where Sharp Rabbit doesn't feel it.

Sharp Rabbit jumped up in a panic to his suddenly swollen presence, waving his nails around Gran's neck. But sooner than that nail chooses the meat, Gran's kick pierces the body of the rabbit.

Sharp Rabbit was slapped by a tree in the rear and fell straight to the ground.

Apparently, he's out of breath.

"What do you say?

"I don't care, I didn't just kick it close to normal"

"Well yes. This is the fastest."

Looking from the side at the exchange between Gran and Elysia, I noticed that Mize next door throated at the tension.

Grant let them take him down easily, but Sharp Rabbit was trying to fight back for a moment. If I had been attacked by that nail without any precautions, the injury would probably have been inevitable. Worst case scenario, it could have been fatal.

A small body, but a demon. You can never be alarmed.

Reading Mize's nervousness, I spoke to her to try not to irritate her as much as possible.

Mize, calm down.

Mize, voiced, showed a slightly upset bare gesture, but took a deep breath and managed to regain her composure.

"Over there, the bush beneath where the nuts are growing...... there's Sharp Rabbit in the back of it"

"Oh, really?

"Oh.... can you use the long-range magic?

"Yes. Some..."

"Then I'll go around and get Sharp Rabbit out of the bush, then Mize will magically knock you down"

"Wow, I get it"

Mize nodded, then immediately went on to prepare to activate the magic.

Take Sharp Rabbit's back in a larger detour to avoid understanding these signs.

Raised one hand and signaled Mize, who is forward.

I don't even have to use Ligament if I'm just going to hunt him down. I stood behind Sharp Rabbit, who was indulgent in the bush, slamming the ground with my feet. Sharp Rabbit, stunned by the sudden sound and vibration, jumps out of the bush. Just an angle to Mize in a straight line.

"Mize!"

"Ha, yes!!

Just in case Mize fails, prepare to activate Ligament.

But the worry came to an end. Mize's long-range shooting magic Water Polo shoots through the demon's torso with momentum.

Sharp Rabbit is lumpy, but his endurance isn't that high.

If you can hit D-rank magic from the front, you can easily crusade.

"That went well."

I told Mize as she fell to the ground and put the demon in sight that stopped moving.

Is tension and excitement still there, Mize snorts as she sweats on her forehead?

"Confidence, you got it?

"Huh?"

"Everyone is anxious at first, but when they get used to it, it's not that much to be afraid of.... Me, Gran, Elisia, I've just been through these things before I came to school occasionally. Mize is not particularly inferior. From now on, Mize will get used to all sorts of things, little by little"

It's an experience in action.

Sometimes magic, especially when images and senses are demanded, can be confusing and fail to perform as it should be in action. That's why getting used to it becomes important.

"Thank you.... me, I'll keep up the good work"

"Oh."

I can't help but feel relieved by the mise that restores its usual brightness.

If you continue to act as an adventurer in the future, you will soon get used to fighting demons. - If you don't even get in the extra way.

"... bad. Let me do something else."

To my word, the other three leaned their necks.

"Separate behavior, why?

I answered Gran's question after thinking a little.

"I remember I had business in Wang Du. You can go back and forth in thirty minutes with Ligament... sorry for the rush, but until then the three of us can do the request."

"... well, if it's an errand I can't take off, I can't help it"

While I told her I was convinced, Elysia stared at me with a frivolous eye.

By one incident last month, Elicia thinks of my situation. Doubts from her are unlikely to be avoided in the future.

"I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you again."

Faster than being poorly pryed, I broke up with the three of them.
