Legend

"Brrrrrrrrrrrr"

The only horse the Alliance had prepared for Zakat was a horse presumed to act with Seto, and he was a pretty powerful bearer.

That's what if it's about the monsters that exist around it, they're going to do things like step and kill lightly with their hooves before the adventurer on board does something... such a horse.

That horse, who exactly deserved the word fierce warrior, didn't actually look frightened even before Seto.

Usually, if a horse sees Ceto, he's definitely frightened.

I'm with him for a few days, and so I finally recognize that Seto doesn't do me any harm, and I don't get frightened... the horses prepared by the guild are nothing like scared of Seto from the start.

I guess I was lucky about that.

If I tried it on Ray, I'd be frightened to act with Seto, and that's why I had to keep a certain distance open... and so on and so on.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Neither does Seto look particularly nervous before such a horse, naturally.

If you try Ceto, the horse in front of you is a horse that doesn't scare you, but although such a horse is rare, it's not the first time.

On the contrary, the horse carrying Elaine's carriage, currently in Marina's house, is also not scared of Seto.

That's why Seto didn't look particularly surprised to see the horse in front of him.

"Is that it? Is that all you need to pack?

Such a set-and-horse. Ray raises his doubts when he sees that Zakat is lighter than he thought.

The reason Ray is so light-hearted is because he has mysteries.

It contains a variety of tools necessary for life.

If the contents of the mysteries pop up for any reason whatsoever, it's not a joke or anything, and instead of one or two houses in the house, it's not strange that nearly ten of them have been crushed.

Anyway, Ray has mysteries, so he doesn't need to have any baggage like this, especially when he takes requests and goes outside the guild.

But unlike such a ray, Zakat had to carry various tools by himself, starting with tools for camping.

"I usually have my party buddies with me, so I'm gonna split them up and carry them around. It's just that I'm the only one today, so I brought this guy"

That said, what Zakat showed Ray was a bag that was caught in the belt.

Bags? I wondered, Ray, but soon I understand that's the simplified version of the item box.

Many, as a matter of course, know that the item box is a tremendous magic item.

More than that, it would be natural to think of doing something about the item box to mass produce it.

In fact, even Ray's people had a mass-produced item box by Elaine.

Nevertheless, naturally, it is no further than being mass-produced than the mystering that Ray has.

There are limits to how much you can store, and time flows normally.

Still, it is certainly convenient, not just for high-ranking adventurers, but also for many of them, such as merchants and aristocrats.

Nevertheless, it is an item box even if it is mass-produced.

Naturally it is very expensive and there is no way it can be obtained so easily.

Around having such a substitute normally, I guess that's something like a Rank A Adventurer.

However, what surprised Ray was that he also had a mass-produced item box...

"Are we having a party?

"Yeah? I didn't think you'd be surprised there. It wouldn't even be that crazy."

If you say so, Ray will have to convince you too.

In the first place, it is rarer among adventurers to be solo active.

Naturally, it's no surprise that some Rank A adventurers are partying.

Ray, who will take this promotion exam, is throwing a party called Red Lotus Wings.

"Zakat was alone, so I thought he was solo."

"I see. I'm supposed to be throwing a party called Moonlight of Doom."

"It's a very noisy party name again."

Ray is a little surprised that the word doom is in it, but if you're going to say it, Ray's party name also contains words like Red Lotus.

Given the name of the party, I guess the name moonlight of doom is not particularly surprising either.

"Really? After using it for a long time, I don't think about it that way because I'm used to it.... Whatever, I was the only one called this time, so each party member is doing his job."

I guess it's only natural that each of the other party members is acting differently than Zakat is here.

The wings of the Red Lotus, to which Ray belongs, were not that surprised because Ray is now acting differently on things like promotion exams, Marina on clinics, and Vihera and Buune on amulets for Nielsen.

"In the Devil's Forest, is Zakat the only one?

"Don't be. My people have the strength they deserve, but when they still get close to the Devil's Forest... kinda. More importantly, this is fine with the luggage, so why don't we leave? I care about the eyes."

If you try to lay, it is only natural that you can turn your gaze from many at the point of being with Seto, and you are already used to it.

But if you try Zakat, I guess you're not very used to being in front of the guild so you can turn your gaze from many.

(Although, Zakat is also a Rank A adventurer. I don't think it's strange if you're used to gazing from around you.)

Being a Rank A Adventurer is like being half a hero to a normal adventurer.

So it's not surprising that Zakat is also used to being directed at various gazes from around him.

However, the type of gaze varies slightly in this case.

The majority of the gaze that is being directed at this time feels like the gaze is being directed at Zakat as well as Seto and Ray.

Many of those who are gazing are Seto enthusiasts and those who know Ray is going to take the promotion exam.

That's probably why I'm looking at Ray and Seto, not Zakat, who would otherwise be able to gather his gaze as a Rank A adventurer.

"Okay. Then go. Seto."

"Gru!"

Seto, who was watching the horse, comes as soon as Ray calls him.

And Ray rides Seto's back, and Zakat rides his horse, too.

Seeing as that happens, those who were around the guild immediately clear their way.

If you can't stand in Ray's way, that's what you're gonna do.

Ray and Zakat took such a grand path.

"You're mostly away from the guilds."

That's what I whined about, Zakat.

That's the word from riding a horse, pretty far from the guild, looking at the smaller guild.

"Right. But there's quite a distance from here to the Devil's Forest, isn't there? Seto can fly through the sky, but when it comes to moving around the ground, it's extra."

"This horse is a horse with a lot of power, so you can run and travel on the ground... right, I think we'll be there about noon tomorrow. If it's a normal horse, it wouldn't be weird to hang it for two days."

"Thinking about it, the Alliance used to send horses like this."

"That's all, you have big expectations for Ray.... Somehow, I'm so told I'm definitely going to be a Rank A Adventurer. I bet Ray passed the promotion exam, too."

"Is Zakat in on the bet too? By the way, naturally, I bet on my passing too."

Zakat turns a frightened glance at Ray for betting on his passing.

Nevertheless, I thought if I tried it on Ray, I would definitely pass the promotion exam, and above all, it was decisive that I only had a place to bet.

If he bets against failing, Ray couldn't argue with that word, even as Ray, if he was told by himself that he would fail at any time and Ray would win the bet.

"Whatever, I want to keep going as far as I can by the end of the day. The journey to the Devil's Forest is basically not that complicated, but if you still waste time, that's all the monsters will come out.... the only salvation is the lack of bandits"

"Really? Personally, I'd like the bandits to come out. You can get treasures."

As for Ray, who has a hobby for bandit hunting, the desire to attack as many bandits as they want to come out is stronger.

I should have been able to defeat bandits more easily than usual, especially if I had the power of Zakat besides myself.

Most of all, the Rays are currently on their way to the Devil's Forest.

The fact that there are bandits in such places is not the first thing.

In the first place, basically, bandits often operate around the city, such as Sabursta and Abu Ero, one or two years before Gilm.

Being a bandit is not so easy to get into the city and living is basically outdoors.

More than that, when it comes to banditry on the border, it's not strange when a high-ranking monster raids you.

Bandits are those who can't do it as adventurers, who are like those who want to play and live, who have a variety of backgrounds, whose houses are poor, have no job and have no choice but to become bandits.

However, it is not that easy to win against high-ranking monsters that appear on the edge, even though they are such people.

Even for the bandits, it would be profitable if they could attack the merchants coming from the Guild, but given the danger to their lives, they are not very much, but they cannot be imitated as such.

If there were at least one of the bandits turning their heads, they would judge it that way.

... some of them are not the least of them to turn their heads and will be bandits on the border.

But such people basically die in a short time.

In some cases, they were often attacked by monsters before attacking merchants and travelers to feed the monsters.

"Bandits. You don't have to worry about that one because you're never coming out. Just, you know, some monsters have the nature to take something away from their opponents?

"Is that the kind of monster you have?

"Oh, I'm a monster who looked like a squirrel coming out as I got closer to the Devil's Forest, but he basically doesn't attack me this way. It's just, you know, when you're in the camp, you sneak up on me, and you steal little things and stuff around food."

"... it is, again. Some monsters are rare."

Basically, a monster is hostile to people.

Some monsters favor humans, and it's not uncommon to do things like tame or make a subpoena magic contract.

But still, there's no doubt that the majority of monsters are hostile to humans.

Most of all, monsters stealing food and things like the bandits Zakat told us about, although they were certainly hostile to humans.

(If you can, if you want that monster's demon stone, and you're imitating things like stealing from adventurers, that's the possibility that you can get that system's skills with Warcraft. Well, it's not a game, and that wouldn't be convenient)

If it was a game Ray played when he was in Japan, he would have been able to do things like steal items and money from monsters.

But this place is real.

It's not like a monster has money, and it's unusual to have some kind of tool.

No, considering you might be using a weapon you took from an adventurer, it could be something like having quite a few tools.

Anyway, if you got skills like stealing like you did in the game, it shouldn't have been possible to steal money first.

(If you can think of one, steal the other's material? For example, if you cut a corner or something, what do you want me to do and bring it to you? That's a pretty vicious skill, isn't it?)

If the material you steal is a corner, it won't be that much of a problem.

But if it was an area such as an eye or gut, then suddenly it would be taken away by some means... then it would definitely be a skill that can only be described as vicious.

Nevertheless, I guess it was only natural to want to acquire that skill if I could do so, beyond nothing wrong if I tried it on Ray.

"If you can, you want that monster's demon stone. I'm glad you came tonight."

To Ray, who shrugged, Zakat turned his gaze.
