... Phew, I'm a little calm.

So, what is this neck hunt a noisy title!

I did that... Don't...

You've fought pretty hard since you came to the world of Kako...

Could I be a pretty dangerous one...

Yes, no! It's only natural in battle to aim for the steeple!

I should be doing the right thing!

Well, why don't you put that aside and appraise this title for a little while.

Long time no see {appraisal}

{neck hunting}

Title given to those who have mowed the heads of many organisms.

As long as he holds this title, he has an increased chance of attacking his neck.

Oh, no!

That's a pretty good effect for a name split. This!

In short, just because you have this title makes it easier to attack your enemy's neck! It's a little bit of a neck-only thing, but, well, I'm pretty much the only one aiming at my neck, so no problem!

"Phew, I was surprised when I first saw this title, but you can use this effect"

Well, you've already checked your status.

Then suppose I'm lying here until dinner time?

Dozens of minutes later,

"Now it's time for dinner. Suppose we go?"

So I woke up from my bed and left my room and headed to the first floor.

It was already quite crowded down the stairs.

Hmm, this is a suspicious place to sit.

I'll see if there's anywhere I can sit.

But apparently every table is full.

I'm in trouble. When you're in the middle of something,

"Oh, don't you have a seat? Wouldn't you like to sit over here if I were in your seat with you?

I turn to the man who called me.

Hmm, this guy feels like an adventurer too.

Does having a bow mean you're a hunter or something?

Leaving that aside, he invited me to his seat.

Of course I am.

"Ooh! I was having trouble with my seat not being available! Regards."

That's what I say. Sit across from the hunter-like man.

Looks like you're still young. Around your early twenties.

"I mean fine. The world helps each other."

"Indeed! Uh, you start with me. My name is."

The moment I almost said that,

"I know. You're a neck hunter. I don't think there was anyone in the guild who didn't know the neck hunting humor."

You were in the guild then!

I mean, the neck hunter Yuma has become so famous!

Damn it! Should I have forced you to correct me then?

"Whoa, what are you in shock about? That's the only thing that makes two names, and as an adventurer, it's an honor."

Two names? What is that?

"Excuse me. I just became an adventurer yesterday. What are two names?

"Oh, no. Yuma just became an adventurer yesterday. It's totally out of standard, really. Two names. A few years after I became an adventurer, when I got about B-rank, I put it around me and myself."

Heh, can you put it on yourself?

But it's a little embarrassing to give yourself two names.

Or...

"So you have two names too, Mr. Grace or something?

"Yeah, of course I do. Mr. Grace's two names are Rigid Sword."

Heh, so it's Grace the Rigid Sword.

That's cool in there!

"So oh Yuma. I can't believe I've been an adventurer like you and got two names in two days, maybe since the guild started."

Hmm, that's an honor.

But neck hunting, well, it suits me...

"Whoa, that's the end of the story. Shall I continue my introduction? My name is Igl. I've been an adventurer for about two years and now I'm C-ranked. I think you know what you're good at, but you're a bow. Say hello again, Yuma."

"Yeah, nice to meet you, Iggle."

Now, what if I let you appraise it once and for all?

{appraisal}

Igle level 26

Force 36

Health 32

Fastness 34

Lucky 65.

{skills}

Archery level 2

Eagle Eye Level 2

Signal perception level 1

{Title} Sketch

Well, that's just the C-rank and it has a medium status.

I've never seen a bow before in my skills either.

Well, it's probably gonna be a good bow or something.

The biggest problem is this guy! You're sketchy!

No! We have to make sure this guy doesn't make a weird mess of Sally!

"Duh, what's up, Yuma? I suddenly got scared."

Igle asks me that with a little fright.

No, I'm not angry. Not yet.

"No, it's nothing, Igle.

"Oh, yeah?

As we talked about it, Sally approached us with dinner.

"Thank you Yuma and Igl for waiting! This will be the dinner of the day!

What, does Sally know Iggle?

When I think about it, Igle tells Sally,

"Thank you, Sally. You look cute today. How about a date tomorrow?

This guy, did he lose his neck?

Did you notice the killing from me?

Igl's face is turning bright blue.

Just to tell you the truth, I'm kidding. I'm not serious. Not yet.

"Are you talking about that again, Mr. Igle? I thought you said no before."

"That's right! Sorry I'm so sorry I'm in good shape!!!!

"You don't have to be so desperate to apologize. Then Mr. Yuma, I'll go, won't I? Eat slowly!!

So Sally went back to the kitchen.

Sally's gone, so I'll kill her too.

Then Igle's face, which was turning blue, also returns to its normal color.

I would have warned you.

"Iggle. Sally is my loved one. Think of it as losing the top of your neck if you put your hand in the middle of it. Got it?

"Oh, yeah, I get it.

Yeah, I think you got it.

"Phew, but it's Yuma! You were pretty close to Sally, weren't you? You were probably dating Sally, too?

"No, we're not dating. Sally knows someone who took care of me. That's why I'm trying to protect you.

"Heh, so you're saying Yuma has no romantic feelings for Sally?

"I wonder. I do think Sally is cute, and if you like it or not, you definitely like it. But I still don't know if that likes romantic feelings. Actually, it's only been two days."

"Hmm. Right. Well, let's get this story over with and eat! It would be bad if the delicious dishes were cooled down."

"Oh, that's right. Shall I take it?"

Saying so, we started eating.

Um, it's still good.

After a few minutes,

"Ha - I ate. I ate!! I knew the rice here was better than the restaurant there."

Again, Ginia's rice seems pretty tasty even here.

Well, Yuma, let's just say I'm back in my room first.

"Then I guess I'll be back too. Exactly. I'm a little tired today, so I want to get some rest early."

"Ha! I knew you were a big guy just a little tired of keeping the oak king down. Bye, Yuma. It was fun talking to you."

"Yeah, it was fun talking to Igl, too. See you later."

That's why Igle and I broke up.

And then I come back to the room where I'm staying and fall asleep in bed.

Phew, this was my first time talking to an adventurer other than Mr. Grace, but you were a cheerful one. It would have been better if it hadn't even been sketchy with that. No, on second thought, I was a muzzle squirrel, too. I can't say much about people...

Well, tomorrow is the guild from noon.

You're an Alliance Master, looking forward to seeing what you look like.

Suppose to spend some time in bed until noon.

Don't feel so nostalgic!

I fell asleep thinking about it.
