Legend

Ray, who had a light tummy at the tavern, went out of the guild and saw a group gathered around Seto.

This is nothing. No, it's not exactly good, but it was what was expected.

But what was also unexpected for Ray was one woman adventurer holding onto that Ceto's neck.

It's not that I don't recognize you. There is too much.

Last night also in front of a stables in the wheat pavilion at dusk, Ray mouths the name of that woman adventurer who was perfect for Seto.

"It's you again, Mileyne..."

"I'm sorry, our member is bothering you"

"Hahaha. That's our party leader."

Voices hang from the side of Ray, whined with sighs.

There you are, a middle-aged man wizard, a late teenage archer woman.

It's Sulnin and Ekril, party members of the scorching wind led by Mileyne.

"Seto hasn't been in the Guild for a while, has he? In the meantime, Mileyne missed me a lot. So since I heard Ray and Seto were coming back to the guild yesterday, I've been doing so well... I thought I'd settled in on last night."

Sulnin groans with a small sigh and Ekril nods that he is right as he arms next to it.

(It also looks kind of like an addiction... are you sure you're okay while I go to the Bestian Empire?

Huh, it was Ray that came to mind of Mileyne roaming around the city whining 'Seto, Seto' in the back of her brain, but if you imagine it, it's going to happen and she shakes her head small and sideways.

"More than that, does it mean you're here in the guild?

"Yeah, well. Actually..."

"Ah."

Sulnin tried to open his mouth to explain the situation, then. Unexpectedly, Ekril lowers her voice.

At the end of that gaze is Ray.

"Ekril?"

"No, about this afternoon and tomorrow, but I was hoping Ray could help me, too."

"Oh, I see. Sure if you say so."

It wasn't Ray, who is also the talker himself, who reacted pickly to that word...... it was Mireine playing with Seto.

"I agree, too. Yikes!

"Totally... what the hell kind of ears are"

Sulnin smiles bitterly at Mileine, who tells her aloud as she strokes Seto.

"If you say that sounds like Mileyne, it sounds like Mileyne.... and what about this afternoon and tomorrow?

"Oh, yes. Actually, I found a goblin settlement yesterday behind the woods along the street... you know what?

Ray nods quickly after thinking for a few seconds about the story coming out of Sulnin's mouth.

"You said Lenora and Kenny were late for work on that thing yesterday or something."

"Yeah, it's about that. As for the goblin settlement, I crushed it yesterday, but in doing so, quite a few goblins were scattered in the woods."

Continue the conversation with a small sigh.

At any rate, it would be honest to want the goblins to be wiped out without letting them get away with it.

"Anyway, the fact that each goblin is scattered is a lot of inconvenience even as a guild..."

"But all I'm saying is, Goblin, and in any case, the adventurer's combat training, which just came up to Rank G, was combined with a mix of rookies to some powerful party to exorcise Goblin."

Ekril takes over Sulnin's words.

Adventurers basically start at Rank H when they register.

However, Rank H is mainly a miscellaneous request that can only be made in the city such as shopping, home repairs, and luggage carriage, and I cannot accept a request that I have to leave the city, starting with a crusade.

To take that hand request, you need to increase your rank to G by showing that you have a degree of combat power that is okay to get out of the city.

Try those who have just risen to Rank G, they are powerful enemies for Ray and Mileyne, even if they are goblins enough to defeat them in one hassle.

It's not like anyone would hesitate because of a human monster.

I guess the guild just decided that this time Goblin escaped from the settlement was just right for the combat training of such newcomers.

However, the fact that newcomers alone might cause confusion and unwanted damage meant that one of the parties I saw as an amulet was a scorching breeze led by Mileyne.

"Ma, it was this morning that I heard the story, so I thought I'd do a mock fight at the training ground this afternoon to see what those rookies are capable of. I came here a little early to finish lunch... but since I found Seto along the way, you'll see."

Sulnin sighs again as he turns his gaze toward Mileine, who loves Seto all the time without treatment.

"So, what do you say? Goblin, can you help me get rid of this? It would be a lot easier with Ray and Seto."

I guess it's sincere. That's what I'm gonna ask Ekril, but Ray shakes his neck to the side.

"Unfortunately, there's something going on. You can't go out of town."

"You said there was a rush."

I nodded this time to the words of Sulnin, who had heard some things about it at the stables last night.

"That's right.... However, you can hang out with me if it's a mock fight that starts this afternoon. But even today I have time."

The reason I was in the guild looking for a request in the first place was something close to crushing my spare time.

In the end, I lost my motivation about the Alliance's request.

In that sense, invitations from sulnins and ecrylics are ships on the crossing, and there is no reason to say no.

"Huh? Really?

But I guess it was surprising that Ray would agree if you tried Ekril. Ask back unexpectedly.

Most importantly, given the rewards of hiring a Rank B Adventurer, this surprise could have been taken for granted.

"Oh. Like I said, I'm free now. In the sense of moving your body, I'd appreciate it."

"... Mr. Ray. Let me tell you something, what I'm asking you for is a mock fight for the rookies, right? You know you're never really the kind of person you can fight, right?

I guess that finally convinced me when I nodded back to Sulnin, who told me just in case. He nodded back small and proceeded to walk to force Mireine, who loved Seto to go to the training ground.

"Mm-hmm... I still have time, so I hope you let me play with Seto a little bit more"

At the training center behind the guild, Mileyne squeaks.

I guess I'm unhappy that they brought me here to make sure Sulnin dragged me through what I still wanted to play with Seto.

It is true that several people are training at the training station, as Mileyne put it, but not a single member was present on his way to the Goblin crusade tomorrow.

"That's why it won't taste decent for us to be late.... and, see"

When Sulnin points to the entrance to the training center with the cane he has, there are three boys there who are surprised to be asking around.

Is everyone about the same age as Ray?

Most importantly, Ray's appearance hasn't changed at all compared to a year ago.

"Well, if you're here, can't you help it?"

Mileine exhales her dissatisfaction with a big sigh and waves loudly toward the three near the entrance to the training center.

"Hey, over here, over here!

I guess I noticed with that voice, the three of them head toward the Mileynes early enough.

"Those three?

"Yep. Exactly 5 or 10 of us don't have enough hands, so we got the same number of rookies spinning."

"Hmm? So, aren't those three partying apart?

"That's what I hear. There's a good chance we're going to have a party on this one."

To Sulnin's explanation, Ray gives a small but surprising look.

Because Battleax, spears, bows and each weapon were beautifully separated from close, medium, and long distances.

"Excuse me, have I kept you waiting"

"Look, that's why I told you to eat a little faster."

"Yes, because... if you eat so fast, you'll get stuck in your throat"

Courtesy apologized to the boy with the spear, to the boy with the Battleax who proceeded with breakfast, and to the boy with the bow who said that eating early would clog his throat.

Each of the three bowed his head to the sulnins and greeted them, turning his surprise gaze toward Ray.

I guess I noticed that gaze. Immediately Mileyne smiles and opens her mouth.

The lack of talent around here, which does not show any appearance of bullying until a few minutes ago, would be due to his experience as a burning wind party leader.

"He's your mock opponent today."

I turn my gaze and open my mouth to Ray without even concealing the look the boy with the Battleax seemed unhappy with that word that came out of Miraine's mouth.

"Is this poor guy going to deal with us? Hey, let me tell you as the same rookie, you better work out some more body before you become an adventurer, huh? We fight monsters who come after our lives if we get out of town. At least come back when you can protect yourself."

"Pfft."

Mileine laughs unexpectedly at the words of the boy with the Battleax.

Being a newbie, you can't help but measure the power of your opponent.

But still, having someone with such a mouthful toward Ray was the best I could do without blowing it out just knowing Ray's strength.

Mileyne is not the only one. Sulnin is cramping her cheeks while she has a troubled look on her face, and she's holding back that she's about to blow out on the side if she's in Ekril.

Seeing how our own predecessors were like that, I guess I just wondered. A man with a spear opens his mouth.

"Um, is there something about him?

A spear boy who asks in a polite tone and in a tone that peeks at how well he grew up.

Behind it, the boy with the seemingly feeble bow also turned his gaze towards the Mileynes more than once.

"Uh... sorry. He's an active adventurer, even if he looks like this. Sure doesn't look very strong when it comes to appearance, but don't worry, you've got enough strength."

"Huh? You're lying."

Reflectively denied was naturally the boy with the Battleax.

"Hey, hey. You're rude."

A boy with a spear pulls the boy with the Battleax back and lowers his head.

"My people have been rude. My name is Kraj Nergen."

"Oh, it's also called Conomir"

"... it's Grusso"

As each greeted him, Ray accidentally opens his mouth when he realizes that only one Kraj has a last name.

"With a first name? Noble?"

"Yeah, well.... That said, I'm a 4 boy from the Poor Viscount family, so this is how I came to Gilm to stand myself up as an adventurer. So, can I have your name, if you don't mind?

If you are a stepson, the eldest son, or its preliminary second son, you should still not be particularly proud of being aristocratic if you try to make it into a crage that is four men. He told me so lightly without any particular condition of detention, and asked Ray for his name.

In contrast, the moment Ray tried to open his mouth...

"Wait. I'm afraid his name is a secret."

Mileyne suddenly tells me that.

Instead of three people, including Kraj, I can also turn a questionable eye from Ray and Sulnin, but Mileyne doesn't look like she cared about it either.

Note that Ekrill was gazing at the adventurers doing mock warfare away from him just saying that if he sighed as if it had started again, he would just get tired if he dated properly.

"Hey, Mileyne..."

That's what I was about to say, Ray, but Mileyne shakes her head small and shows her attitude that she wants me to leave this place to myself.

Even if it's nothing Mileine, it's not just a simple prank to imitate like this.

There are many monsters that adventurers encounter outside the city that look vicious, but some of them look harmless at first glance, while others are actually vicious.

Most importantly, the Kraj three are only rookie adventurers.

In other words, it was clear that the majority of the monsters encountered were stronger than the Kraj's.

The appearance alone cannot measure the strength of the opponent. To teach it, there is no more Ray than a very high-ranking adventurer at first glance.

"Mr. Mileyne says so, I'll deal with him. Look, you have to surrender before you get hurt."

Blinking, the tone is as if you're worried about Ray.

Ray smiled small at the words and deeds that reminded him of Bosc, whom he met somewhere in Egzil.

But I guess that's what got Grosso's mind wrong. The gaze at Ray gets stronger, and the hand holding the Battleax pattern also helps.

"Mr. Mileyne, let me do it from me."

That's what I told Mileyne.
