"I can't believe you guys are gonna take down that big fat ass alone."

Lyden woke up while the paper was coming.

The wound also seems to have healed in its own potion and looks better than I thought.

"I've talked a lot, cousin, but this place is still dangerous.

Let's get back to the city. "

The end of the mass outbreak also means that ordinary monsters will gush.

Taking Lyden's word for it, we decided to clean up the shithole and Butcher's drop and head back to the city.

Okay, that drop item, but first, 'Meat Cutting Knife' struggled with the apple and me to put it in the bag.

This is a unique item that the Boss Monster of the Level 150 Dungeon has.

No, it's not exactly unique because you can get a bunch of bugs, but it's a uniquely handled weapon.

The classification is also a big sword with high correction, and the vegan attack power is excellent, but there was only one problem.

- What a 66 weight this "meat cutting knife" is.

That's about six times the weight of a standard sword, about eight times the weight of my agnostic fire, and 33 times the weight of a shark's moonshadow.

Even though only the last one is not helpful, it weighs enough to think that we should no longer rename it iron chunks or something.

You can't handle it decently if it's that heavy.

I'm sorry to say, but it was a complete story weapon.

I'm talking about how powerful Mr. Butcher is.

I wondered if I would use another drop item, 'Power Seed' too, but ended up putting it in my bag.

Power seed is literally a strange species that builds strength when eaten, and has the effect of permanently increasing muscle strength.

The boss, who can only defeat once, not just the butcher, doesn't always drop some kind of seed, so it's not that rare, but there's still a strange romance in the doping items that attracts gamers.

However, the increase in the status of seed-based items is insignificant, and even in older versions where butchers have sprung up all over the plains, it seems to be to the extent that they kill and gather butchers all day long and use them together in one person to finally do a little bit of good.

When you say you don't have a body or a lid, it's much quicker to raise the level honestly.

I can't expect the effect of using only one of these now, so I decided to fatten the bag for now.

The announcement of the crusade is an hour after the mass outbreak, so I can still afford the time, but I was actually just a little anxious to get back to the city properly while playing the monster opponent.

So I also looked at asking for something like an escort, and the three of us started going home with Ryden, but to be honest, the worry was utter concern.

"That lady, wow..."

From the side where the monsters came in, the apples would be cleaned up by lightning strikes.

Showing Ryden his hand was somewhat resistant, but Ryden has both been known to have defeated Butcher and nearly 90 Golden.

We decided that if we didn't even have a lightning strike in a row, it would only look like rare magic, and that it would be less suspicious to expose our hands to the opposite.

I give the golden cherry blossoms to the apples, so all I have is a recovered sidebar, but if Assassin Reggie's attack power has been quadrupled by the power of the ring, he should be able to defeat them without any problems except attribute resistance like Golden and Sharks.

There should have been an option for me to fight, but I can't help but knock it all out because the apples won't give me time to get close.

Me and Lyden were relaxing, following the apple and walking towards the city.

On the road, we were headed to the city to talk about each other's self introduction and other unusual stories, but eventually Ryden cut out this story with a slightly harsh face.

"... you and I fought the same enemy with our lives at stake.

That's why I think of you as my comrade. "

"No, that's..."

I had a lot more to lose than what caused the butcher to come out here.

Besides, it weighs my mouth that I escaped once.

But Ryden shook his head just saying that it had nothing to do with that, and he kept talking.

"I say it because I don't want to hide anything useless from my comrades, but I was just watching you and Butcher fight, actually.

At the end of the day, only where you will defeat that giant. "

"My battle...?

Ryden nods heavily.

According to the story, Ryden woke up around Butcher with an apple blown out.

Though my body didn't move at that time, he was clearly watching me head for Butcher.

"When I found out the princess cared about you, I wondered if spring had finally arrived for the princess.

I can't believe I actually looked at you and thought you didn't seem very strong.

... but it wasn't "

Ryden's eyes turn this way.

There was a sharp glow there, like when I was relative to Butcher.

"No, I don't know if it's not, but at least I found out that the princess was never interested in you just because she was freshly swollen in love.

Your bizarre move when you defeated him, and then that weird move where you buried that big fat ass.

Both were things I had never seen before.

I felt like I knew what the princess meant by "strange swordsman."

Apparently, sharks intend to touch the nickname 'strange swordsman' all over the kingdom.

It was an effective vengeance in a way.

I want to protest a lot, but for now I decide to forget about it and stab Ryden in the nail for once.

"If I could, I wouldn't want them to know much about how to fight..."

"I know. I thought you said you were a comrade.

I wouldn't do anything to betray my comrades. "

"... that would help."

Somehow, the horse character is nice enough to say where he's been.

But Nice Guy's words didn't end there.

"Nevertheless, the truly strong get people's attention sooner or later.

Rumors of "The Wonder Swordsman" spreading throughout the kingdom will be a not-so-distant future. "

"Give me a break"

If this is really shark harassment, let's just say it's a huge success.

When I was down, I finally saw the city gates there.

"You're back at last."

It must have only been two hours since we left, but I feel kind of asexually nostalgic.

We rendezvous with the apple, which was a little ahead of us, and the three of us creep through the gate.

"Well, I'll rendezvous with my people in the square, but what do you guys do?

Through the gate, the hustle and bustle of the people fill the area at once.

More heartfelt and louder than when I was on the plain, that's what Ryden asked.

I'll give it back at the same volume.

"We'll go with you to the square.

You're gonna go report it right from there, so you're breaking up there. "

Usually the request is delivered directly to the counter of the Bounty Hunter Guild, but only the Crusade Games are special events, so treat them differently.

Crusade reports and announcements will be made in the city's central square.

Particularly with regard to the top three points of the tournament, a special stage should have been called, where the number of crusades, deliveries and total rewards would have been read out and a performance would have revealed who would have won in front of a lot of humans.

Lyden seemed to know that naturally, too, and I saw the big stage I could see from here, I said.

"Even if I say disbandment, I'll see you soon at the time of the announcement.

Because the princess did too much, this tournament has a skewed crusade count.

The princess and you, and my team, we'll make sure you're number one, two, three. "

"Oh, really?"

If it's true, that's good news.

Lyden laughs and tells me to chew my face off by accident.

"You're a comrade, but if it's a battle, I won't give you a break.

We'll do everything we can to win. "

"Take it. I'm gonna stand up, but you're done with the mass outbreak, right?

Even though there are no enemies to defeat, I can't help but put all my strength out of here.

When I gave it back, Ryden laughed bitterly.

"... I guess so.

Well, it's simply a matter of mindset... oops, looks like my buddy's picking me up "

At the end of Lyden's gaze, cut off words along the way, there was a pair of men and women who seemed to do what they did, staring at this one.

I guess that's Ryden's buddy.

"See you on the stage, then!

"Oh. See ya!

Apple and I will drop off Ryden, who greets you well and walks over there.

"... on the stage again, huh?"

Lyden said he wouldn't let it go, but I'm sorry, but it'll be confirmed that we're in second place or better.

Although we missed the last two, we eventually succeeded in winning as many as 74 goldens.

You may not beat a shark, but you don't think you'll beat anyone else.

Besides, Ryden did say, 'I defeated 21'.

So if you're third, you won't have to be on guard about the other participants.

(Hmm...?

I felt somewhat uncomfortable, but I shook my head and regained consciousness in reality.

I felt like I'd found something strange, but it wouldn't bother me enough.

"Let's go, too."

"... n"

Shaking it that way to the apple I've been following in silence, the apple replied small.

Whether you know people or something, apples really don't talk when there are others.

No, on second thought, you don't talk much even when you're alone with me, so maybe it's not much different.

"Here."

The report of the crusade takes place in a dedicated tent, invisible from the outside.

I still have about half an hour to spare, but I wouldn't have crossed it early.

I thought so and approached the tent for reporting, and now an unrecognizable young man walked over.

"Yikes! You worked a lot harder to stick to this time."

He talks to me intimately.

I can tell from the outfit that he's an adventurer over there as well, but he's obviously the first person in this world, and I can't remember his name in that evidence.

but he should have also been in the 'Cat Ear Cat' game as an adventurer who would certainly be one of us.

"Oh. Well."

Probably more than a hundred times as hard as you imagined, but that would be just eight hits.

You should get along with your peers.

I answered that without difficulty.

The young man's slight grin deepens.

"Oh well. It's a good thing you work hard.

... by the way. You were walking with Mr. Ryden, weren't you?

"Yeah, but what's wrong with that?

Maybe this was the real deal.

I dare return the words that that young adventurer has whispered and cut out with a normal tone of voice.

But it doesn't look like that adventurer cared.

rather evil. He whispered more deliberately as though he was crunching,

"I knew it.... So, how much did you get?

"What?"

I've been asking questions that I don't understand.

I wonder what he's saying all of a sudden. This guy.

That's what I thought, but that guy totally ignored my reaction and said it all the way back.

"So we're talking about gold coins. You bought it off me, didn't you?

I bought one of Mr. Ryden's guys for 30% more, but I'm really curious about how much the others put on it. Come on. "

"Hey, wait a minute!

I don't know what you're talking about.

I don't know, but I didn't think this story was a very good one for me.

(Speaking of which...)

And I have facts to remember at the same time.

Now that I've heard the word 'Mr. Ryden's people', I know who the discomfort was earlier.

When it came to the subject of the number of Golden crusades, Ryden said, 'I did 21, by the way!' I was talking about my crusade count to get ahead of it.

But if you teamed up with your people to defeat them together, how would you say 'I am'?

- If so, the possibility emerges that Ryden's record of 21 is not 'the number of crusades of Ryden's entire team', but 'the number of individual crusades of Ryden'.

In the first place, Ryden is not the kind of person to brag about his battles.

I'm already suspicious because I started talking about my crusade count, which hasn't even been asked.

If I'm right, Ryden, he's a terrible feeder.

(I see. You mean they ate just one cup of tea)

Though I think a little good, I tend to be loose.

This world is a game, not a game.

The only thing I'm going to have to compete with is not the doll that moves with the program alone.

You have knowledge, you have wisdom, you are a living human being.

"Hey. So for how much..."

"I'm sorry, but if that's a question, hit the other one.

Well, we're here for you. "

Enter the tent with the apple, mocking a young adventurer who tries to devour even more.

Inside the tent, Bounty Hunter Guild officials and thinkers were waiting.

"You're a crusader.

I've been waiting for you.

Now bring your crusade crystals and delivery items here "

This crusade, which showed unprecedented excitement, will also only leave the results to be announced.

"The Golden is a Guruno Lime Crusade", it is finally a big deal.
