"Are you going to retire an adventurer?"

“…………?”

Seiki couldn't understand in a moment what Akane said.

Adventurer retired?

……I?

When you understand the meaning of Akane's suggestion, blood gradually rises to Haruki's head.

"Don't play Mikoyama. Is that always a joke? I won't retire from adventurers!"

"I'm not kidding."

"So why do you suddenly come up with such a story?"

"I heard that symptom of you."

Akane's eyes are getting sharper.

Apparently she is joking and crazy, and does not seem to recommend Seiki to retire.

However, no matter how serious the proposal, there is no room for consideration.

Seiki has just become an adventurer this spring.

I've been a long-cherished adventurer and only three months have passed.

The level is steadily rising, and the skills have grown considerably.

Haruki groped into the middle class while groping for the dungeon in the garage without information.

As an adventurer, fat is just getting on.

The road continues straight.

The endless road is clearly visible in the eyes of Seiki.

I couldn't imagine quitting.

"I will never quit."

"Even if you're not a human?"

"... what?"

Seiki's low voice made Seiki feel as if she were being bathed in cold water.

The blood that has risen to the head loses heat and descends.

"What does it mean?"

"I know only a small part of the information, but the evils of leveling up. If you repeatedly level up, ordinary creatures become monsters."

"..."

In the words of Akane, Haruki and the lotus attracted their faces.

Adventurers who can obtain physical abilities that are far from humans are easily evaded by ordinary people.

Some adventurers who hate adventurers even consider adventurers to be criminal reserves.

Five years since the first stampede.

Unfortunately, it is not yet in a world where adventurers are fully accepted.

You may become a monster by leveling up.

Seiki could easily imagine that any rumors leaked would put the adventurer in danger.

That's why we know only a small part of this information.

What did you think of Seiki's expression? Akane exhaled and sat back in the chair.

"Defeating a demon that appears in a dungeon will give you the feeling that you are stronger than defeating an ordinary animal? 、 That much, the dungeon demon has the power to strengthen your body. I don't know what it is, but I think it's like life energy.

Defeating a demon will actually strengthen your body. So what happens if you defeat a lot of monsters and strengthen your body a lot? In animal experiments, the result is that the body itself has changed. Ordinary animals have become monsters. I mean-"

Akane once punctuated the words and wrinkled between the eyebrows.

"It's very likely that the change in your body is the same phenomenon as the animal. Because the energy gained by defeating the demon is accumulated without being captured by the body, the body itself changes. That's why my body hurts. "

"... Is it a monster?"

From her throat, Haruki twisted words.

It was a shabby voice.

"That's possible, so I'm recommending you to retire now. The best way to avoid demonization is to take no more demonic energy into your body."

"... What other adventurers have the same symptoms as me?"

"I'm in, but a few. Probably the only symptom is when the rate of energy accumulation exceeds the rate of absorption into the body."

Akane shrugged, saying that people who level up rapidly like you are susceptible.

"Why is only Sky Star ..."

"Isn't it just the air?"

"So, maybe I might be too?"

"It's possible because the air is gone."

"……Is that so"

Fire Lotus and Akane exchange words.

Next to it, Seiki was listening to the conversation between the two members.

Seiki and Turen form a team to capture the dungeon.

The leveling is almost the same, but at the moment only Seiki is showing symptoms.

Damn!

Haruki claps his tongue and hands on his forehead.

The cause of the rapid level up is without doubt. Growth acceleration.

I didn't expect that there would be such a pitfall in accelerating growth.

"Is there a silver bullet?"

"I don't have it.

"Such ..."

This symptom does not go away.

I felt like that, and Seiki went black before my eyes.

"Is there a panacea for adventurers? Isn't it something like that !?"

"I won't, this isn't sick."

"..."

The fire lotus entangled his hands to pray in front of his chest.

She has the same look as Seiki, as if she had seen the end of the world.

"So what do you do? I think it's better to quit the adventurer."

"... If possible, adventurers want to continue."

However, if you continue as it is, you may eventually become a monster.

No matter how strong you want your presence, you don't want to bother others.

In the first place, Seiki has been unable to fight Matomo at the moment.

In the future, even if you continue to be an adventurer, you may not be able to fight due to severe pain.

With that in mind, Seiki couldn't say, "No matter what."

Akane, staring at Seiki, suddenly relaxed from her shoulders.

"... Huh. I understand you. I don't really recommend it, but there is a way to manage that."

"eh!?"

"Just don't expect too much because we can't always improve."

With that said, Akane took the map from under the counter.

Flip over the page and spread the Asahikawa page and point your finger.

"Kamui's hot springs are here. There is hot water from the dungeon."

"Should I drink that hot spring?"

"... What?

"How many liters? How many liters should I drink !?"

"Hey, calm down!"

Akane is in a desperate form, as she is filled with motivated Seiki.

"I just need to soak in the hot springs! There is an example of being healed by soaking in the hot springs coming out of the dungeon. Drinking some hot spring water may increase the effect, but there is no need to drink jigs !? "

Haruki leans at her head as if she was imagined by the words of Akane in a hurry.

"... Is it really going to improve?"

It is becoming a monster. It is hard to believe that such an unusual symptom can be improved by soaking in a hot spring.

"I'm not talking about Kamuy's hot water, but I've heard that in some areas it's improved by soaking in hot water from dungeons.

I don't know if the energy that has not been absorbed by the body will dissolve into the hot water, or if it will improve circulation and promote absorption.

This is information gathered by our company, but don't expect too much because of the high possibility of eyebrows. It's up to you to take responsibility when something happens. ''

"... Oh, I see."

Sure, that's right.

Haruki nodded with a mysterious look.

"By the way, how many days should I stay in the hot spring?"

"Why do you keep immersing !? Get out? Get out of the hot spring before you get soaked !?"

Akane stands out beyond the counter.

Why is there such an exaggerated reaction?

Seiki tilts her head.

"If you're a sky star, you're really immersed in a hot spring ..."

Probably because of Akane. The fire lotus smiled and drooped.

"What are you both talking about? If you keep immersed, will it improve quickly?"

"" ... ""

Look.

After all.

Such a voiceless voice reached Haruki's ears on the cold gaze of Akane and the Lotus.

"Fire lotus. Please hold this reins tightly to you ..."

"Yes. I was entrusted ..."

It is rude to take care.

This year, Haruki, 28, is not old enough to take care of anyone.

Don't want to be treated like a child.

Seiki crossed her arms at the top of the Buddha.

"It takes about an hour a day to immerse yourself in the hot spring. I think the effect will take effect from 3 days to about a week. I don't know how long it will take. ''

`` If you keep immersing all the time, it will definitely be fast-Adada !? ''

A sound is heard in the head after Pascene and Seiki.

Listen to the people.

Haraki nodded obediently to the voice of Rea, who was intimidating.

"Well, I've been keeping my baskets in the dungeon for a long time now.

"That's true ..."

Akane's words are true.

Enter the middle class from the second stampede. The rare species defeat of monpales and deer in "Chikaho" and Haruki have almost always passed through a fierce battle.

I want to look ahead faster.

First of all, I want to enjoy the scenery that no one has experienced in the first class seat.

An irresistible urge still swirls in Seiki's chest.

But even now, Seiki cannot fight satisfactorily. It only kills lives.

If so, it might be a good idea to rest a little wings here and develop your spirit.

"--No, yes. For a while, I'll go to Kamuyunoyu for a hot spring.

"I will go too."

The fire lotus blocked Seiki's words.

Fire Lotus, like Seiki, does not feel any pain in the body during the battle.

Although they have leveled together, she has no accelerated growth unlike Seiki.

It didn't seem so bright that I needed to soak in a hot spring.

But the lotus shakes his head.

"Because when you go alone, it seems that you will soak in hot water until it melts.

"Mu ..."

The firefist clenched his fist as if the lotus determined.

Apparently no trust at all.

But.

"I enter the men's bath, how do you stop it?"

"…………n/a"

The lotus smiled wide and tilted his head with Koten.

It's like a girl who is puzzled by unknown knowledge.

However, Seiki saw that of the lotus, and chills ran on his spine.

Behind her, a poisonous aura is rising, like a torture officer choosing which torture is better.

"Hey, you can train yourself in the garage dungeon!"

"No. Sky Star is my benefactor. I have no choice but to do nothing if Sky Star is in trouble!"

"But ..."

"When you buy new weapons, do you always try to reduce my burden secretly? 空 Since Sorasei always bears the burden, I will pay for this hot spring. ! "

Under the pressure that never says no, the mouth of Seiki dries up.

Have you ever seen a terrible look at a lotus fire lotus since you fell by hunting?

A tone that is more polite than necessary intensifies the fear.

"No, but-

"I pay?"

"A, high"

The pressure of a lotus that pierces a sharp blade to the throat, the resistance of Seiki broke back.

"Why don't you go and work on the way to Asahikawa?"

From the expression of Akane, the serious color like the one above had already disappeared beautifully.

"What kind of work?"

"I'm requesting a cleanup after the last stampede."

"Clean up ..."

"Yes. I found that the upper demons overflowing from the dungeons in Asahikawa were lurking in the surrounding forest.

"So that's it"

The phenomenon of demons overflowing from the dungeon is called stampede.

The only way to destroy it is to defeat the boss who leads the army or destroy all demons.

The ideal type to hold stampede is to defeat and demolish monsters that have come out of the dungeon.

But the reality is not so good.

It is an extremely difficult task to destroy monsters that pop out of the dungeon one after another without missing.

This is even more so in the defense battle, amateur self-defense forces will also participate in defeating monsters.

In fact, there are only a few dungeons in the country that have perfect stampede control.

The garage dungeon was one of the dungeons that ended Stampede in an ideal way, but it worked because of good luck.

If there were only monsters near the middle class, I couldn't stop Stampede.

Aside from that, Asahikawa's dungeon is one of the dungeons that couldn't destroy the overflowing monsters.

The request means that the Self-Defense Forces in the direction of Asahikawa are having difficulty hunting down monsters.

Asahikawa Dungeon has an entrance to Kamuikotan.

Seiki has never been to the area before, but he knows where Kamuikotan is located.

It is a secret area.

In addition, there are many Morikawa cliffs and difficult places. Because of such a location, it may be difficult for the SDF alone.

"By the way, Akane. You just thought I just talked about not being able to fight?"

Is it all right? And Seiki ask.

Akane sticked out his lips with a "boo" just as if it was out of my mind, perhaps because the meaning was conveyed straight.

"The start date of the request is two weeks later. Monsters overflowing from the dungeon are all small fish for intermediate adventurers. Is it just good for rehabilitation?"

How?か ら Because I'm thinking a lot! To Pupu.

Akane stretched his big breasts.

For some reason, the eyes of the lotus stood in place.

After bathing in a hot spring, is it a good partner to check your physical condition?

But

"I'm really kind to think so far! I don't think you're really an angel?"

To gehe.

If you get such a dirty and glorious praise aura, you will never want to praise it.

I would like to return a hot attitude (fist) instead of words of thanks.

Seiki opens his mouth while holding his fuzzy fist.

"... Huh. Please tell me the details first."
