Attis is a city that is never big, located northwest of the Kingdom of Liebel. It is a scenic land on a scale not unlikely to be rural but lush, with views of mountain ranges thousands of metres high above the lake on sunny days.

A dining room on the corner of such a city of Attis. Sometimes a little after noon, in a store where people were neglected, one girl raised a voice that seemed to resent her.

"How can you not go through!?

A girl who sits in a counter seat and complains the same way from earlier, even though she's not drunk.

Seeing that, the diner owner speaks to the girl.

"Looks like you're upset, miss."

"I'll be angry, too! I've come a long way to Attis, but I can't believe I'm eating a stall at the moment..."

"What's stopping you?

"I want to go there."

The girl answered that way, pointing out the window, Gillan Snow Mountain, also a symbol of the mountain range, and its summit.

The store owner is also very surprised by this response.

"What!? Miss, are you going into Gillan Snow Mountain?

"Yeah, but?

"Stop it! I don't know what the purpose is, but there are monsters in that mountain."

"I know you do. That's why they regulate mountaineering. He said he hired them for it, but if he came with them...!

Reminds me, my anger is turning back.

Gillan Snow Mountain is the largest mountain in the Kingdom of Liebel, beyond an altitude of 4,000 meters and always covered in snow from 1000 meters near the top. In addition to just being difficult to climb, there are powerful monsters trekking in Snow Mountain.

That's why we hired five mercenaries in the name of escorts. Until I arrived in Astiz, things went well, but as soon as I told him I was climbing Gillan Snow Mountain, I ran away to scatter the spider child.

Proof left that that's all dangerous behavior, but I'm not convinced. It would also be due to the fact that he was paying half of his reward with an advance but there was no great danger on the road and he only felt like he had been taken away.

Anyway, for various reasons the girl - Reefa was angry.

"I also said no to the people who said I was an expert in this city..."

Reefa, like throwing up, poisons her with a gutsy knife.

The shopkeeper who saw it laughed bitterly. He is the one who lives in Astiz and understands the dangers of Guillain Snow Mountain.

"I don't have a choice. We have to get permission from the Knights to climb the Guillain Snow Mountains."

It is the Knights who are blocking the entrance to the mountain that will make the decision on permission to enter the mountain. But with half-life force, permission does not come down.

For that reason Reefa said she was excited to hire a mercenary, but it was a previous issue where permits wouldn't come down if she got away.

I've come this far without a hitter.

"I wonder if I can get in somehow..."

Reefa ramming all the way to the counter table.

Doing that, the store door opened as Karan Karan and Bell rang. And the twirl spreads through time.

Reefa looked back, perceiving the anomaly.

My first impression is black. A young man stood in a chilling atmosphere.

The customers in the store whisper something to each other with such a far-sighted look at him. It was not a pleasant air.

"Who is it, alle?

Reefa, caught by surrounding guests and whispered, asks the shopkeeper that. But the answer came back from a different place.

"He's Harold Stokes. He's the best swordsman in the country with the alias" Knight Killer ". They used to call you" Harold the Bad Boy. "

"Hmmm...... so, what about you?

"I'm a traveler."

Neutral appearance and voice with honey-colored eyes in grey hair. A large, swollen yellow hat catches my eye.

I don't seem that different from Reefa when I was old, but I can't tell if it's a boy or a girl.

"It's more famous for notoriety when it comes to Harold Stokes than that. Don't you know that?

"I'm afraid you haven't reached the village where I live."

To be precise, Reefa seldom hears such similar information because she is isolated as a stranger in her hometown village.

I'm greedy for what I'm interested in, but other than that, I'm shutting it out. Now was the first time I heard the noisy alias knight-killer, etc.

But that doesn't matter to Reefa. The important thing is this:

"You said he was the best swordsman in the country. Are you strong?"

"Let's see. As much as they say you can beat dozens of elite Knights unharmed. Its strength is approaching Fincent, the current Knights Commander."

I mean, he's the most powerful person in his class.

Reefa's eyes glow demonically.

If you're that strong, you might get permission to enter Guillain Snow Mountain.

"Come on, lady, no way..."

The shopkeeper tries to stop by seeing through the thoughts of such a leafa, but such a voice goes bare through her ears.

When he stood up well, he walked over with Zukazka and stood in front of Harold.

There 'll be 180 centimeters. A long-length Harold is looked up by a reefer that's only about 140 centimeters. But the way I cowered there was no fine dust.

"Can I have a word?

"... who are you?

"I'm Reefa. Are you sure you're in Harold?

……

Harold neither denied nor affirmed, but silenced.

But I distorted his face bitterly. Earlier stories seem famous, but do you hate to know your name?

Reefa moves on with that question.

"I have a request in anticipation of Harold. Of course I'll pay you."

"You said it was a request?

"That's right. I want you to climb Mount Gillan with me as my escort!

Walnut-colored hair tied down. A red checked mini skirt on the blouse, and a bruised outfit called Knee Socks. And most importantly, it weaves a white coat that reaches the knee length.

Reefa Goodridge.

Harold encountered the original character, also known as Lori in charge of the protagonist party by making himself a genius inventor. Besides, they ask me to escort you. Besides.

(How did this happen when I just came for dinner...)

Reefa is not from Astis here, but from the village of Weiss. I'm not sure why I'm here, but as Harold, I'm at work and I don't need to listen to her requests.

No, but oddly enough, the destination is the same Guillain Snow Mountain.

There should only be three different years, but I look down at Reefa who has as much height difference as an adult and a child.

I stare into Harold's eyes with dignity, not fitting that physique. Two asshole hairs standing piong from the top of his head are also somewhere proud.

"A little girl like you climbs that mountain? Don't make me laugh."

"I'm still fifteen years old!

I know that. Various parts, including height, tend to be stunted in the age division, but I am certain that I am fifteen years old with a history.

That's also the case in my profile settings.

"What's the purpose, by and large? There are no toys or playgrounds in that mountain."

"I want to get the biological data on the Ice Dragon, Hydra. Samples if possible."

To Reefa's remarks, not only Harold, but everyone in the store lost their word.

Ice Dragon is the Lord of Gillan Snow Mountain. The early story is the boss monster. Even mercenaries and knights around here are slaughtered in the mountains of Sekiyama.

Gamely enough, if you have a party average of 20 levels, you can win even if you fight normally.

But that's only if you challenge it in a group. Reefa's one-on-one challenge is in danger of death.

It is also suspicious whether we can reach the Ice Dragon by ourselves in the first place. Gillan Snow Mountain has a high rate of encounting with monsters.

In that sense, asking Harold to escort you can be said to be the right choice.

"You don't have to ask me for your favor, do you?

"I won't force you to do anything. 'Cause I'm gonna hit something else."

"I don't think it's that easy to find a suicide candidate."

"... it'll stick for a month or six months. I have a reason to do that."

I feel stubborn. If Harold kicks me, I guess I'll keep looking for him for months, as the word goes.

But that's troublesome. Because now it's just before the original begins "..."

If Reefa is not present in Village of Weiss, where she is supposed to meet the liners, there is a risk that there will be a huge difference in the original party. In the game, she will be able to use the "Condition” command by becoming one of them.

If you do poorly, you may not be able to create items, enhance weapons, etc. It also hinders the chi that is occurring in the worst of Smeragi territory and the blocking of Justus' plans.

Her knowledge of magic and science will play an important role in the story.

I mean, it's not very convenient for Reefa to be stuck in Astis.

Then I should just take a request from my job and send Reefa back.

"... fine. Drink the terms and I'll give you my help."

"What, really!? Yay!

Reefa is happy to raise her hands without even trying to ask the conditions. Harold sighed, in front of her like that, that trouble might have broken in again.

And where the story is about to come together, a cross spear enters.

"That's an interesting story."

A voice I'm used to hearing in the game, just like Reefa.

Yellow overalls on casket hat. I'm not wearing any clothes in it, I just have a salad wrapped around my chest. And the shoulder bag is lowered with things stuck in the bread.

He or she is fifteen or six years old with a nicotine grin on his or her righteous face that can be described as both a beautiful boy and a beautiful girl.

"If it's all right with you, I'd like you to take me with you."

Soon Giffelt, an informant who stood right next to him, said so without breaking his grin.
