The Michelles were escorting the purchase of dust masks after leaving the city of Methusela.

Hiring adventurers is for escorts from the port town to Methusela.

This time it was a large order and we talked about the need for human resources as a workforce and escort because we needed to carry a significant amount.

"So, there's a good chance that Nicole's target is where this was brought in. So don't be alarmed."

"Oh, I don't have to tell Cloud, I know."

Michelle is just plain easy on the cloud, which has cautioned over and over again to bite and include.

I don't feel bad because I know that's a sign that he's worried about me.

They were accompanied by two of them and three other people's feet because the luggage to be carried required a whole carriage.

The destination port town is located a day away from the city of Metosella, so it is an itinerary that envisages three round-trip days.

The outlook is not very good, as it leads through the streets in the woods characteristic of Raum on the road.

"When you look at Raum like this, it's not for business."

"Ha ha, but if you still don't carry the product, there are people in trouble!

The merchant in charge of transport was a big man with a slash and wound on his face, who said he could not get out in public due to the effects.

It does have a strong face because of the wound and is not suitable for business.

But he has a bright and pleasant personality, and I miss Michelle and others quickly who are not afraid of things. I still get dried meat and so on, and I have a full smile on my face.

"Don't eat too much lady. Fine, but I'll take care of it. One day at a time, but it's a preserved meal."

"Whoa, hi-ha-hi-ha-hi-hoo"

"Yes, I'll weigh myself in, 'cause"

It is usual for Michelle to talk while eating. Cloud, who had heard the language scattered, had translated it and told the merchants.

"Nku. I'm fine. If you run out of rice, you can procure it locally. I'm a hunter."

"Looking for prey was Nicole's job."

"Even I can do it."

That said, bread the case with the hunter bow on his hips.

Seeing it, the merchant looked strangely at Michelle, who also carried a bow case on her back.

"Lady, it's the bow you're carrying on your back, isn't it? Why are you carrying both?"

It is common for bowmen to prepare lighter swords exclusively for proximity. But she had two bows available, and no weapons for proximity.

In addition, there were two types of arrows available, and the adventurer, whose bow was the main one, had the appearance to draw a line.

Moreover, the breasts and armor that protected the chest and arms from strings were strangely aligned with good quality objects.

For a young adventurer, it's too fancy.

"This is a special one for the big guys. So it's always this way."

"Don't you have a sword or something?

"That's physically manageable. Most importantly, Cloud will protect you."

"Heh, you're trusted, kid."

"Why am I the boy and Michelle the lady...... no, fine"

The merchant laughs out loud at the cloud, who looks at the difference in treatment.

He slapped the back of the cloud vigorously and expressed pleasure.

"I'm sorry. I don't hesitate to be a man. Look at that."

"Hmm?"

Ahead of where the merchant pointed, one vulture was flying.

"Sorry about that, but if you're as good as your mouth, why don't you tailor him?

"Vulture is dangerous because it strikes from high altitude in a steep descent. I can't protect you enough, and it's easy to get ahead. So, Michelle, please."

"Ha!

Quicker than the reply ends, take the bow out of the case and watch the arrow from the arrow barrel.

The flowing movement was smooth and ripe enough for the merchant to peel his eyes off.

It takes an instant to even aim, releasing your finger so easily that it can be considered untouched.

An arrow released during a single breath headed into the sky in a straight line and pierced the head of Vulture looking for prey without aiming (flashing).

Desperate under a blow, he falls to the ground in stiffness.

The merchant could only open his mouth even more gently and watch over the divine work.

"Huh... Huh? Already?"

"Well, it's Michelle. Because this is still fourth floor."

"Ha! I thought it was okay to be so young and fourth floor at first, but this is awesome"

"Sort of. The surroundings are full of monsters, and I have a narrow shoulder. More than that, don't you reclaim it?

"Oh, right. You guys, just go. Come on."

To the men of the foot, a merchant entrusted with the retrieval of Vulture.

They, like Michelles, are employed as escorts and labourers, so they can travel through the woods to an extent.

To the merchant's words, why us? It seemed to float the sentiment, but I wouldn't disobey my employer's orders.

Leaving one, the two join together and go into the woods.

Vulture's fallen location isn't so far apart, so I guess they both decided it was okay.

"Wait, I'm coming too."

But in their gear, they decided it was dangerous to be attacked by a large monster, and the cloud offered to accompany them.

The men only glance at each other for a moment, nodding small and allowing.

"Bye, Michelle. I'll take care of it later."

"Yeah, come on in"

Michelle, showing off her transcendent skill, waves her hands out small without the wind that cared about it.

After waving his hand back, Cloud followed the two of them into the woods first, scratching the grass.
