Well, this girl in front of me, she's not an S-rank adventurer. That's why it's so compelling. You fought from the front that it was me now. You can't win first.

"I didn't know you were an S-rank adventurer. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Amaranth."

When I call you Mr. Amaranth, you just look a little grumpy,

"Lord Neck Hunter, call me Minaris about me. I don't like being called Amaranth. All right?"

Hmm, is that a translation of something?

Well, now I can't help but care.

"I understand, Mr. Minaris. Then please call me Yuma. It's a little embarrassing to call it a hunt."

"Um, let's call it Yuma from now on"

"Thank you. So the quick question, Mr. Minaris, is he in this city to support the Great Invasion?

"Um, if you've been drinking like you always do in Narcissus, I'll hear that Flox is dangerous for Grace there. So I didn't have time to come to the rescue."

Do you drink with this appearance? That's an imbalance inside. But what if rescuing the Great Invasion is just a leisure time? That's something like an S-rank adventurer.

Mr. Minaris continued,

"And when you get to Phlox today, don't you say you don't have to worry about a major invasion happening anymore? I'm just a little upset inside, but I'm going to ask you about the Lord. I was just curious."

Mr. Minaris looks at me and laughs.

Something might have caught my eye.

"No way, because oak kings and goritoris in such a rural neighborhood still didn't think there was an adventurer who could defeat Cyclops by himself. Besides, isn't it true that those who have still been adventurers for weeks have done it? I'd rather not be interested."

And I'm coming closer to you, Mr. Minaris.

Um, she looks cute.

Yeah, let's just ask one thing that bothers me.

"Mr. Minaris, I understand your disrespect. How old are you?

I've always wanted to hear this.

Mr. Minaris is supposed to look completely like a girl, but Mr. Grace called him Mr. Minaris. Besides, the way Mr. Minaris talks is a little too old. It doesn't look like it at all.

And the answer returns.

"At my age? Well, I counted to 150, but then I had trouble counting ahead and I couldn't figure it out."

That was an answer far beyond my expectations.

You're lying!? I just didn't think it was the year it looked like, but it's too unexpected that it's over 100. No way, Mr. Minaris. It's legal. Lori!

But is it something you can live to that point in a normal human being! I think so. When I look at Mr. Minaris' face, I notice one difference.

Is Mr. Minaris' ear any better than a normal human being's? And I look ruthlessly familiar to that ear. Anyway, it's because I'm used to seeing it in games I played not long before I died.

"Um, Mr. Minaris. If not, I'm sorry, but is it possible that Mr. Minaris is an elf?

To that question of mine, Mr. Minaris,

"Not half the time. I am indeed an elf. Except it's not like a regular elf. I'm a high elf."

Hi, Elf? Speaking of which, you were in the game. In the game I was playing, High Elves was set to be the top race of the Elves, but what about in this world?

Do you want to hear it out of the blue?

"Excuse me, Mr. Minaris, would you mind explaining the difference between an elf and a high elf?

Mr. Minaris, who heard that, seemed unusual,

"It's been decades since they've asked me that. If I lived in this world, it would be information that even children might know. Well, okay, high elves aren't the best species of elves."

Yabe, I think I heard something bad. Are you sure I'm not from this world? Well, if I often do, I'll have to be honest with you. I'm not sure I can hide it from my grandmother over the age of 150...

I mean, high elves are the best species of elves in the game. Is there any other difference?

"Mr. Minaris, is there any other difference between a high elf and an elf?

"There is. First, it is told that high elves are born with more than ten times the magic power of an elf. Because of its excessive magic, it is said that the general high elves will soon stop growing. Thanks to that, all the high elves are like me."

"Besides Mr. Minaris, there's a high elf?

"Um, I have five others.

Ho, are you there so much?

I'd really like to see her.

"Are those people adventurers, too?

"No, it's just me and the other one doing the adventurer. The other four would have lived in the elves if they had stayed the same. Well, it's the Lotus continent that's inside the elves, so I can't even confirm it."

Lotus Continent? I see, is this world divided by several continents? You never cared about it before, so you didn't know.

Then I'm here now. Does this continent have a name too? Will I look into it next time I'm free?

"I see. Thank you for sharing."

Yes, I lower my head to Mr. Minaris.

"Um, it's natural to be able to thank you. Because a lot of adventurers can't even do that these days. Yuma, I'm counting on you."

Mr. Minaris turned his back on me and tried to walk away.

"Hey, Mr. - what are you going to do now? The Great Invasion has stopped already, and you're going back to Narcissus?

"No, I was going to leave just like that a while ago, but I changed my mind. I'm going to stay in this city for a while. Because it's closer to watching Yuma."

That's what I said. Now it's time for Mr. Minaris to leave.

Whoa. Let's appraise him before he disappears.

Appraisal………

Then something unexpected happens to me.

The appraisal will not activate against Mr. Minaris.

Seriously, I didn't know the appraisal would not be activated if there was a level difference at first, but does that mean that my level and that of Mr. Minaris are so far apart? Or do they even have the skills to inhibit any appraisal? This is my first experience at any rate. That's a little shocking. That's how Mr. Grace said he was a little depressed.

"What's up, Yuma? I'm looking at Mr. Ba, and I'm looking at Mr. Ba. No way! You must have fallen in love with her!

Ha, don't even seem like an asshole to be depressed when you talk to Mr. Grace about something. All right, let's cheer up. On the contrary, I'm glad you found your goal. From now on, let's do our best to catch up with Mr. Minaris.

"No, I was just shocked that you felt a little difference in strength between Mr. Minaris and me. It's okay now."

When I say that, Mr. Grace becomes a serious face.

"Yuma, let me give you some advice, but you shouldn't think of Mr. Baba as a regular S-rank adventurer."

"What do you mean?

"Mr. Nanba has a proven track record of being an SS rank. But I've always stayed in S-rank because it's troublesome. And that's your strength, but perhaps even if you look at all the adventurers, you get into five fingers."

Hmm, if Mr. Grace's story is true, the goals I set seem endlessly distant. Look, it's burning the other way around. I'll definitely catch up with you!

"I see, thank you for letting me know, Mr. Grace. I'll make sure we catch up someday."

"Ha! I didn't know you'd catch up when you heard what I just said. If anything other than you came, I'd laugh at you, but I'm wondering if you could do it. Come on, Yuma."

"Yes!"

Then I broke up after talking to Mr. Grace for a few minutes.

By the way, A-rank PT, who had come to Frox for backup, said he had returned to the Nursisas as soon as he found out the Great Invasion had already stopped.
