Legend

Snow Salamander was falling to the ground with his mouth pierced by a spear of dusk.

He was slashed and torn through his neck with a white cloud made of silver lion material, at which point he had just enough vitality to try to attack Bühne while suffering a wound close to a fatal wound, but still couldn't live with his mouth, his throat, pierced through his body by a spear of dusk.

"Marina, looks like you knew this guy's name?

Hearing the sound of the current battle, Vihella asks as she guards her surroundings if a new monster will come.

It was Ray, not Marina, who answered such Vihera's words.

"Snow salamander. You're a rank B monster"

I couldn't remember what kind of opponent the monster was in front of me at the beginning of the battle, Ray, but it's not hard to remember that after all this time.

"Are you a Rank B monster? Isn't it a little strange that a monster like that is in a place like this?

You could say giant. Vihera squeaks as she looks at Snow Salamander's body.

The words also included Ray...... and Marina agreed.

"Right. Even if I say this is in the woods, it's still a shallow place. Snow salamanders come out here... I don't know if they don't, but I kinda doubt it"

"If this is anything but winter, you can say there isn't."

If you're a monster hanging from spring to fall, there's nothing like having a high-ranking monster come out on the table so easily.

But it's winter now.

There was no doubt that a monster who appeared only in winter was special in many ways.

"Mmm."

While listening to the Rays like that, Büne looks a little depressed.

I guess he still cares that he couldn't tailor Snow Salamander with a single blow.

It was usually Beaune who never changed his expression, but it still seemed a big shock that he wasn't able to do much in the first fight he challenged at this party.

Vihera, who naturally has the longest relationship, noticed such a beaune visibly.

To comfort...... and calm down, gently stroke Bühne's head.

"Look, I don't really care. Biune did well enough in this fight, didn't he? The last blow of Snow Salamander was well avoided."

"Mmm..."

Even if Vihera comforts me, is there still something I think is going on, and Büne can't hide how depressed she is?

"I'm sorry to say this, but I didn't think you had to worry so much about Bühne's lack of strength, because I was partying on the understanding from the beginning."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, that was the right and throaty Ceto, but that Ceto didn't work anything in particular in this fight.

Of course it must have been big that things went ahead before Seto got his hands on them.

But I'm pretty sure Seto could have gotten his hands on it whenever he wanted to.

Still, I didn't move anything into action because I couldn't afford that, or simply because I thought I didn't have to get my hands on it?

"Mmm."

It was such a settling consolation, but unexpectedly...... no, I guess it was predictable for those who knew what it was about Büne and Settl's friendship, but Büne regained some mood anyway.

At least not as depressed as I could tell.

Having seen and relieved Biune like that, Vihera, Marina and Ray discuss this battle quickly while being vigilant about what's going on around them.

... Still, it was a snow salamander that I think weighs quite a bit, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Rays with the mistering.

Ray, who housed the body of Snow Salamander, whose spear of dusk was pulled out, in a mistering, opens his mouth first.

"I think the fight was pretty good right now, but what do you say?

"Right. I think we were able to work well with each other. It's not perfect, of course."

To Ray's words, Vihera nods.

Thinking of it as a first fight, it never meant that it was poorly coordinated.

But those who have been partying for many years... the collaboration is, naturally, awkward compared to those like the scorching wind who are close to Ray.

In the first place, the only one in this who was clearly partying and fighting is Marina.

Ray worked solo on some of Seto's and his own secret matters, and Vihera was originally a solo.

No, Vihera was partying with Bühne, but there was an implicit understanding that most of the battle would be left to Vihera.

Of course, it's not like Bühne wasn't totally in the fight at that time...

Besides, I'm more used to fighting as a party than Ray is to that.

"I think the spiritual magic that Marina used was pretty good, huh?

To the words of Vihera, so does Ray... and Bühne snorts.

In particular, Büne was able to slash and tear Snow Salamander's neck because of the spiritual magic of the marina.

And most importantly, it was thanks to the marina that Snow Salamander's bite could be avoided.

Both of them were made because of the spiritual magic of the wind that was increasing the physical abilities of Bühne.

"The bow attack was pretty good, too, in the sense of restraining Snow Salamander.... just Bühne. I'm glad I gave Snow Salamander a blow, but maybe he could have used a long needle when Marina used the bow."

"Really?

It was Vihera who tilted her neck at Ray's words.

"Originally, Beaune's role was primarily to escort the marina, wasn't it?

That was an unmistakable fact.

In this party, Ray and Vihella, who serve as avant-garde, have extremely strong fighting skills.

Obviously, you can't break all that into Marina escorts.

In that sense, Buune, who is not highly combative in the line, was just no more present in the sense of escort.

That's only a story within this party, of course, even if it's not very combative.

As a general adventurer, you have enough fighting power, so there is no shortage of power as an escort.

What is at odds with Ray and Vihera's opinion is the story of the emphasis placed on either escort or restraint.

Ray argues that with a long needle, even the power of Büne can be sufficiently restrained, and Vihella says he should emphasize his role as an escort.

Neither of these is wrong.

(Still, it's kinda funny that Ray insists on more restraint by insisting that Vihera of an aggressive character emphasize escorts)

Marina opens her mouth as she listens to the exchange between the two of them.

"Don't you ever specialize in one or the other? In some cases, I think it would be a good idea to use it as a escort, and in some cases, as a restraint. This is the first time I've partied and fought with this member, and I'm going to take the time to adjust around it."

Depending on the reception, it was only a word that appeared to be maggot-colored, but in the first place, this is how we are fighting outside the guild because of its adjustment.

Ray and Vihera have been acting together for some time, so we don't even have to breathe ahua with each other… but we can breathe together in combat as close as we can get to it.

Even if there's a beaune in there, I'm somewhat used to this one... but when there's a marina in there that hasn't really been involved in terms of combat, it takes a lot of tweaking.

Sometimes when you look sweet with one person, you suffer unexpected damage in battle.

There would be no problem with a party to be organized on an ad hoc basis, but if we were to have a fixed party, we needed to adjust the area thoroughly.

"So how does it feel to have Büne turn to cover next and focus that next fight on escorting......?

Everyone snorts at Ray's words.... Seto didn't seem to quite understand either, but he nods to be flushed by the surrounding conditions.

(Why, Ray can be quite good at dividing things up.... I think I have enough qualities as a party leader)

That's what Marina thinks for a moment as she looks at Ray, and eventually opens her mouth again.

"Nevertheless, you didn't expect Snow Salamander to come out here. Maybe there's no food."

"Maybe the number of other monsters is low.... Wasn't there some kind of heraldic report or something like that?

To Ray's question, Marina shakes her head to the side.

"Originally, the number of adventurers is lower in winter, and the information in that hand is hard to come by. You know that well with the Rays, don't you?

If you say so, Ray can only snort again.

Many of the adventurers who originally went outside the guilds to make money this season are not skilled.

... Some of them, like these Seto-loving adventurers, contribute too much to Seto and lose their money to take requests.

"So if we move on to this back, does that mean there may be more dangerous monsters out there than there are now?

That was the windy Vihella word I'm worried about if I only heard it, but what I see in its eyes is a hunch of battle against the mighty enemy.

For Vihera, a powerful monster was not something to be avoided, but something to go see from Ning Luo himself.

Ray and Beaune know that, and it's not like they've known each other for long, but Marina also understood Vihera's personality like that.

That's why I decide it's probably useless to say something here.

Most importantly, I'm here to confirm my collaboration as a party, so I basically didn't have the option of avoiding a fight.

Of course, it would have been different if it had existed like a silver lion.

But that's not how powerful monsters come out.

"I don't know if Vihella can fight a happy opponent."

Vihera nods naturally at the marina, who tells her what to do?

"Let's go"

"Yes, yes, then go.... It's just a little bit that Seto is here but he attacked me. A Rank B monster would naturally have better intelligence than a goblin.... because it's a Rank B monster?

If you are a Rank D or C, you will be recognized as a rank A monster that you will never win. Especially since Seto is rank S equivalent in rare species treatment, it would be natural to feel the difference in force.

But if it's Rank B... maybe it really is, but there is a slight chance that it will strike you thinking you can win even against Seto... even if it's just a little bit?

That was Ray's guess, but Vihera moves on before she speaks of it.

"Look, I'm coming. We need to get used to this body, and we need a little stronger enemies next time."

"Uh... yeah, right. Let's go then."

I guess the blow I fired on Snow Salamander earlier was quite satisfying.

The Rays follow suit so that Vihela can lead them back again.

Of course, the spiritual magic of the marina had allowed him to walk normally, without being taken by the snow.

"Spirit magic is a convenience to make."

"Really? Because I'm used to it, I don't think so."

"Extravaganza"

"... I don't want Ray to say that word? Normally, I have a lot of magic items that are definitely more convenient for Ray. Especially... hey?

Marina's gaze was pointed at Ray's right hand.... right wrist to be exact.

The majority of people who live in the Guild know what the bracelet is there.

If you're an adventurer...... no, because even if you're not an adventurer, it's a substitute everyone wants.

"I just have an item box, and I think it's too convenient for a lot of things?

"I won't deny that"

In fact, I was able to live a comfortable life where I could eat warm food even if Ray was in the middle of a request, or sleep in a room that was easier than the inn around the area in a magic tent.

In addition, these days, you can even get a kiln of magic items and cook your own dishes.

The fulfilling gesture of that life could not be described as very adventurous.... In one aspect of camp, it seems that even nobility is surpassed.

(With that said, if you're going to be working at this party, you're going to use a magic tent when you camp. Therefore, we need to prepare a new bed or something…)

Do I need to buy a bed somewhere?

Ahead of Ray's gaze he thinks that way... more specifically, a bush near Vihera, who is leading the way, unwittingly swayed... something popped out of it.
