"That's the town of Hexi."

Leaving the town of Togai, I came to the town of Hexi, near the danger zone, using flying magic.

"Nevertheless, it's a big forest"

A very vast forest extends not so far from the town of Hexi, seen from the air.

It is a forest the size of which I have never seen in my previous life or in previous generations.

Is it the woods that have spread so much since I died?

Looking from above, I can occasionally see magic and thoughts and light and flames near the outer perimeter of the forest.

The adventurers in those woods are working hard.

"Hazardous Realm Warcraft Forest..."

Sounds like a B-rank danger area, but is it a place with a lot of beast-shaped demons by name?

Well, let's get off the ground before we get into town.

Because I surprised everyone because I flew all over the city in Toguy town.

◆

"It's pretty busy."

Unlike the image seen from the sky, the town of Hexi was crowded with large numbers of people.

I wonder why we're so busy here when only B-rank adventurers can operate?

"Well no. Let's go to the Adventurers Guild first."

A short walk found the Adventurer Guild building lightly.

I thought a lot of adventurers were walking in the same direction when I got home from work.

"New base, I'm excited"

With excitement I set foot in the Adventurer's Guild in Hexi Town.

◆

In a nutshell, I felt enthusiastic.

Looking around, a large group of adventurers surrounded a large table to eat food and drink alcohol.

Apparently, this is an alliance of taverns.

Evidence of this is that on the right is the guild desk and on the left is the kitchen of the liquor store.

I've heard about it before, but it's actually an interesting structure to look at.

"Slightly, you shouldn't. I need to see the request board first."

First we'll see what kind of requests there are in this town.

"Is that it? Those kids?

It was very young adventurers I saw heading to the requisition board.

Besides, the gear is pretty tight.

I feel like I have the money or something I need.

Are you the same rookie adventurer I am?

But it's a dangerous area where only b-rank adventurers can get in, right?

What do you mean?

I thought so. It was me, but I looked at the request board and the question was iced away.

"Oh, is that what happened?"

The answer was very simple: all requests below C-rank were made outside the Warcraft Forest.

There were requests for herb collection in another forest and for escorts to neighbouring towns.

That's right.

Because there was a danger area, there was no reason why only the danger area could be requested.

I have my doubts solved. I confirm my B-rank request.

It would be nice to take a request for the C, D rank, but I still have a request that I can only take at the B rank because of it, so I'd also like to take a request at Warcraft Forest.

It was then.

"Hey, you! That's a request you can't take at your rank!

Apparently someone is trying to get more requests than their rank.

That sounds just like it.

Sa, an affordable request at the request of Warcraft Forest.

"Hey! I'm listening to you!?"

Apparently, he's so obsessed that he can't hear anyone looking for a favor and paying attention.

I'd love to have an adventure in the Forest of Warcraft.

"It's about you!

And for some reason, my shoulder is caught.

"Huh? Me?

Could you have said something about me?

"Who else is there besides you!

Turning around, a young girl was royal there.

I guess my age is a little bit above mine, most importantly, my golden hair is like superb gold thread...

"Beautiful."

"Huh!? Ki, beautiful!?"

Shit, I accidentally put it in my mouth.

"Oh, sorry."

"Oh, no... well, you praised me, so I'm not angry at you... but I'm not!

The child, whose face was bright red and mozzled, suddenly scolded me for pissing off her shoulders.

"That's a request in the Warcraft Forest that only adventurers above B rank can get in there! Rookie adventurers get a request that suits their rank properly!

Uh, did you tell me that after all?

"Well, I'm still a B-rank adventurer."

"What?"

That's the look on your face just saying what you're talking about.

"So b-rank. In the meantime, I've been ranked up and given permission to explore dangerous areas."

……

The girl gets silent.

"Uh, really?

"Yeah, really."

"... sorry..."

A girl apologizes to me with a flat apology.

Good, you got it right.

Well, I just became an adventurer, and I wonder if I can help being mistaken?

◆

"I'm really sorry for your loss"

The girl who finally quit flat apologizing to me again. [M]

"No, because it's good enough. Uh, I'm Rex, from Toguy town. Would you mind telling me your name, if I could?

"You're Mr. Rex. I am Liliera, the adventurer who is making this Forest of Warcraft home."

Mr. Liliera smiles at Nicole.

"Mr. Rex is here to enter the Forest of Warcraft, too?

"Yes, when I went up to B-rank, the guild chief told me I could go to the forbidden area, and I came to this town closest to me"

"Nearest...... yes, so you're well prepared?

"Huh? What are you ready for?

If you're an adventurer, you don't bother to make sure you're ready because medicinal herbs and camping tools are basic, and more importantly, B-rank, right?

"You don't seem to know how it is. What a place this forest of warcraft is."

"Isn't it a forest with lots of warcraft?

I sigh with my hands on my forehead just saying that Mr. Liliera was stunned.

"You're not gonna talk to me. The Forest of Warcraft is literally a monster."

"Everything in the woods!?"

What are you scared of?

"The beasts, the bugs, and all the trees in the woods are demons too. There's not a single creature in the Warcraft Forest."

Cheng Cheng, is that why it is the Forest of Warcraft?

"That's not all. Most things you see are demons that are simulated on the ground or slime if you think it's a fountain. So when entering the forest it is essential not only to potion and poison, but also to avoid demons incense and junctions. I can't believe Zara was attacked when she was capturing material from the demons she defeated!

It's a woodland.

"So to enter this forest, it is essential to have a junction stone that generates a junction magic user or junction. Without them, I wouldn't even be able to spend the night in the woods! Anyone like you who gets laid will be Gabriel from behind in no time!

Liliera theorizing enthusiastically.

"If you're going into the woods too, get ready, and if you don't have company, get into a party somewhere where you can use junctions! Good?"

"Yes, sir"

"Do you really understand that?

Liliera looks grumpy looking at this one.

Yeah, this guy suddenly stuck around, but he's a very sweet guy.

Words are tight, but they care about all the content here.

"Thank you for sharing so much"

"Oh, you're so honest. Well, it's very good to be honest with people. You're young, but you've only been in the B ranks."

"The lady didn't take our advice honestly, so she was dying."

"Well, that was a long time ago! Mm-hmm. Shit!

and an adventurer who was drinking in a nearby seat teases Mr. Liliera.

"haha"

◆

"Huh, that's exactly why I hate people without delicacies."

and liliera said in a grumpy voice, but that look looks like a bit of fun.

I'm sure you don't really hate it.

"Nevertheless, I've never seen a boy near his age in the same B-rank."

That's what Mr. Liliera looks at me as a giraffe.

"Maybe Mr. Liliera is the same B-rank as me?

Liliera nods at my question.

Yeah, I'm a B-rank, too.

"I'm kind of relieved to have someone close to my age."

"I get it. Everyone around you is old."

Sometimes it was the same B-rank, and we broke it right away.

Sometimes the Alliance used to be both a liquor store and they said they apologized for the mistake and asked me to treat them to dinner.

Once I said no, Mr. Liliera didn't give in to me when I said I was rude to the first person I met.

And Liliera, a senior, tells me a lot about this town.

"This town is adjacent to dangerous areas, so many merchants have gathered for rare materials that can only be taken there. And in order to protect those merchants, there's been an increase in the number of adventurers below B rank."

"That's why there are quite a few requests below the B rank."

"And once in a while, you have a request to crusade a demon who's lost out of the woods."

"Heh."

"Well, forest demons rarely come out of the woods, so that's not a request."

It helps a lot when it's done.

"Nevertheless, Mr. Rex doesn't just look like him, he seems younger when he talks about it. How old are you?

"Is that me? I'm 15, right?

"Oh, so it's only been a year since you became an adventurer? You're pretty talented to be b-ranked in a year!

"No, I was just lucky."

"Luck is strength, too. Should I celebrate something for you when it's your birthday?

"Haha, no, my birthday is a year away"

Mr. Liliera is a quick person, too.

"Huh? Next year?

"Yes. Next year. I just turned 15 the other day."

"In the meantime, maybe we just had an adult day!?"

"Yes, I am."

"Wait, so how long has it been since you became an adventurer!?"

And, for some reason, I think Mr. Liliera's air is following me.

"Uh, it hasn't been a month."

……

"Mr. Liliera?

Is that it? What's wrong?

"You were fake!

"Huh?"

What do you mean, fake!?

"Well, what the hell is that?"

When I try to ask what the words mean, Mr. Liliera taps the table and stands up.

"That's unpleasant! Please don't talk to me again!

When she said that and stared at me, Mr. Liliera got angry and left the guild.

"What do you mean?"

Liliera, suddenly I got angry, but I said something to make you angry!?

What am I supposed to do, chase him to apologize for now!?

But I don't even know why, so what am I supposed to apologize for chasing you?

"Ha ha, don't be so stubborn, Rookie"

And that's when the adventurer, who was dining in the seat right next to me, called out.

He's got great muscles, and he's got a big battle axe on the table.

"He just hates power ranked adventurers like you."

"What? Um, you?

"I'm Ivan, this town based adventurer."

"I'm Rex. So, what the hell is power ranking?

Power Rankings? What is it? That's a word I've never heard before.

"It's about an adventurer who walks into a high ranking adventurer party and gets his ass in a hug and fights, and he's weak but only rises in rank. He's a nobleman and a good man sometimes."

What's that?

That doesn't give you any strength at all!?

"Well, I know what that lady's trying to say. You can't live in this dangerous forest if you do that. Rookie didn't say anything wrong, so do what you asked for and get your rank back up solid."

Um, I'm totally mistaken for this.

"Um, I've been here solo all my life."

Gyro, I used to act with you guys, but I wasn't clearly teaming up with them, and they were the same F-rank in the first place.

"Well, so Rookie came running up the B-rank on his own?

"Yes."

"Hang on, don't be strong, kid! You're not gonna get that kind of strength here!

"Yeah, well, I'm not saying anything bad, so start over with the F-rank request!

"It's strength to admit your weakness."

You're in trouble. They don't seem to believe me.

This is going to be a lot of trouble for me to adventure in this town in the future.

I wonder how they can all believe me.

"Then let me show you my strength quickly, Rookie."

And it was Mr. Ivan who said it.

"Show strength?

"Oh, there's a request in this town to measure Rookie's prowess, and they'll all admit no matter how weak he looks if he clears it."

"Oh, are you gonna do that?"

"It's a rookie's baptism."

Array or baptism? What are we going to do?

"Follow me, Rookie. Show us your strength."

When Mr. Ivan urges, all the other adventurers get up.

"This way."

I don't know, but if you can recognize my strength, I'll join you in that baptism.

◆

"Here."

It was the outer perimeter of the great forest that Mr. Ivan and the others brought me.

"This is the Forest of Warcraft..."

I didn't realize it when I saw it from above, but the trees in these woods are surprisingly tiny in height.

I have a lot of tall trees, but sometimes there's a mix of tall trees.

And the tree was big enough to go behind the woods.

"As you heard earlier, the Forest of Warcraft consists of all creatures and plants demons. And because of their bad nature, plant-based demons sow seeds and spread the woods little by little."

Uh, not only are plant-based demons highly vital, but that's a pain in the ass, isn't it?

"So this forest and the various countries adjacent to it have a permanent request that this forest will not expand any further."

That's what Mr. Ivan points to the woods.

"Look over there. Look. The adventurer's cutting the woods, right?

When you ask me, some adventurers did cut trees with axes.

Yeah, that wasn't a tree.

"A plant-type demon?

The adventurers were fighting plant-shaped demons with axes.

Mr. Ivan nods at my words. [M]

"Oh, it's a plant-based demonic trap plant. He's a delicious guy who's simulating a tree and attacking from a blind spot. Tall guy's a killer plant of the upper species. So, the permanent request is to get rid of those botanical demons that make up the Warcraft Forest and stop the forest from expanding."

When the forest spreads, towns and villages will be swallowed up.

"So, the rookie even fights a botanical demon at the entrance, and it's the rookie's baptism that catches the hang of walking into the back of the woods"

I mean, the baptism you want me to do.

"Whatever you want, exorcise 10 plant-type demons and show them. If you can't do that, you'll just die walking in here."

"So a permanent request is a training request."

"That kind of thing, because the only way for a guy who doesn't have enough strength to be fast and strong is to gain experience anyway. Well, usually the training of bandits and monks with less combat skills can be a full role. Tell me you're a guard here, because if you can't make a close fight, you can't do it."

Wow, that sounds like a cynical place for you.

"If you get it, go! What, we'll help you if you're in danger!

"Yes!"

I walk to the woods while Ivan and the others drop me off.

"I can't. Yo!

"You're not ashamed to run away!

I'm making fun of you, but I can see you all care about me.

Well, I don't know about that either, because they think I'm a newbie who insists on looking good and being B-ranked.

First activate exploratory magic to explore the surrounding signs.

This isn't about finding out where the demons are, it's about finding out where the humans are.

Because it would be tough if you involved an irrelevant person.

Fortunately, the only people around here seem to be Mr. Ivan and his adventurers fighting demons right there.

"Then let's do it that way so we don't wind up."

I work out my magic and set a target on the outer perimeter of the forest.

This forest is all made up of demons, and the country wants us to stop the forest from expanding.

This means that you don't need any help.

"Then let's burn it down!

I choose the magic of burning down only a designated spot in an instant so that the fire does not become a nuisance to adventurers operating behind the woods.

"Flame Inferno!!"

From the tip of the protruding hand emerges a blue spherical light body.

And the light bulged in an instant, and instantly it stretched forward.

prison flame magic flame inferno.

It's magic that releases super hot blue flames in a straight line direction.

The light body that emerges immediately sucks in ambient air and instantaneously inflates the flame.

And instantly quench the flames by burning out oxygen in the air with every surrounding substance in a flash, creating a simulated vacuum state.

Flame magic that works when you don't want to spread fire extensively.

"Is this what this is all about?

In front of me, there was a great deal more ground.

They scraped some of the outer perimeter of the Warcraft Forest.

For this reason, a corner of the Warcraft Forest, which had spread in a distorted circle, had now disappeared in a linear fashion, as if it had been completely pruned.

"How about this?

I look back and ask Ivan. [M]

……

But for some reason, Mr. Ivan is just shuddering with his eyes wide open.

The adventurers who followed me are similarly pulling.

"Is that it? Could it not be enough yet? One more time, then."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! What's that?!?"

And I tried to burn down the woods again, and Mr. Ivan screamed.

"No, it's just prison flame magic, though?

"Just what is it!? It would be a mess from the name now!?"

"Oh no, it's magic for weed removal that I usually use for grasshoppers."

"" "" What kind of enchantment is this? Your house is haha!!? ""

The words of the adventurers were beautifully hammered.

What? It's a normal village. Yikes.
