Set up a sword in front of the midline.

Turn your sword tip toward the demon in front of you - the Golem.

Stone doll willing to destroy under the whim of spreading around here. That big figure can't see the whole thing without raising his jaw.

High Attack and Defense combined.

The light in my head was pure intent on killing me, the intruder.

I want you to defeat the golem that appeared on the hills outside the city.

That's the C-rank crusade I ordered at Adventurer Alliance this time.

I washed my feet from adventurers.

But...

'Actually, I'm short on manpower right now. There are no other adventurers who could go on a crusade. So could I ask my dad?

I couldn't say no when Anna, the guild master, asked me to. Leaving it alone would harm the people of the city.

"I have dinner plans. Let me get this straight."

Relative to the golem across the distance.

"GOOOOOOOO"

The Golem ran out at a speed contrary to that giant.

Shake your right arm wide.

Wide range of motion due to lack of joints.

He's been pounding a hammer-like one-hit special fist towards my brain, weighing more than a few tons.

I jumped straight up and flaunted it.

The ground that stood until a few moments ago is deeply worn.

If I had eaten properly, I would have died instantly.

Golem's inorganic eyes caught me unmoved in the air. They roll out the upper cut with the opposite arm from what they rolled out earlier.

Fist that cleaves the atmosphere and roars.

"Shit! You're a smart fighter for stone dolls!

I opened the opposite hand with the sword. Activate wind magic. The blowing wind pressure shifted the body's position.

The golem upper cut cuts empty.

Towards that arm, which became defenseless, I ran my sword.

It was almost simultaneous with me getting off to the ground and the severed golem arm falling off. I look back as if it had been played right away.

Golem, who had lost one arm, stood on the spot as bewildered. The specific gravity is out of balance and the center of gravity is out of balance.

I cut straight in that this was a good time.

Jumping into the Golem's nostalgia, he makes a ripping blow. The tip of the sword cleaved the body of the stone as if to put a knife in the butter.

Golem's body was diagonally twofold. It also succeeds in severing the nucleus of the magic embedded in his heart.

"GOOOOOOOO"

Golem scattered in pieces, lifting the severed demon.

I made sure there was no magic response to the stone wreckage scattered at my feet before I put my sword away. I breathed once.

Turn your neck as you hold your shoulders down. A poking noise sounded.

"You can't. Golem, I didn't know your opponent would take this long. The old me would have been able to finish with the first shot. Years after all...?

Does that mean you can't beat the annual wave that stops by?

... No, I'm sure not. I was nervous back then. I had the urge to be an S-rank adventurer for anything.

So he was able to show more strength than his height.

It was filled with the likeness of the late omnipotence.

The sense of urgency back then had disappeared from me now.

"I mean, I knew you were old."

I concluded with a bitter smile, looking down upon the king's capital from the top of the hill. The red of the sunset overflowing from the ridges of the mountains encompasses the king's capital.

In that place, there is still a man's business going on.

"Well. Suppose it's time to go back. Dinner's waiting."

A receptionist who was near the entrance noticed me as I dived through the gates of the Adventurer Guild.

Bright blonde with yulu fluffy perm hanging. Fashionable and tarnished appearance. She was a receptionist named Monica, Anna's subordinate.

"Ah! Mr. Kaisel, he's home already!

Monica came to me flailing out the paperwork she had.

"Golem, did you defeat him safely?

"Sort of. This is the proof of that," I said, taking the nucleus of the golem out of my handheld leather bag. It's broken in two. It's dull and shiny.

"Mmmm...!

"What's going on? You look suspicious."

"Golem is a C-rank demon, right? Is that something you can crusade in such a short time?

"I mean, you think I'm making a false report?

"I won't tell everyone. Detective Monica wondered."

"No, you said it all. Obviously."

And I smiled bitterly.

"Can't the nucleus of the Golem here prove it?

"Zubali, I've bought it from a pedestrian or something!

"Though I don't think anyone would sell the nucleus of the Golem, which is useless. And if you make a false report, you'll find out soon enough."

"That's right. Monica. There's no way my dad would lie like that," Anna showed up from behind Monica.

"Ah, Mr. Anna!

"Dad. Welcome back. That was fast."

"I have dinner plans. But I faded, too. I had no idea it would take this long to crusade the Golem."

"It's so... too soon, isn't it?" and Monica.

"Monica. My dad was a prodigy when he was young. He had a reputation for definitely becoming the youngest S-rank adventurer of all time."

"Yep!? Mr. Kaisel, were you such an amazing person!?

"It was a long time ago."

"I had no idea! I wish you'd told me."

"I used to be an adventurer called a prodigy?... You're hurting too much. You're an uncle who talks about the martial arts of his youth."

I don't want to be a middle-aged man who can't renew his past self forever.

... but doesn't Monica know anything about me?

Not only the glorious part, but the shady part of it - the inability to crusade the enchanted dragon, the stigmatization and the expulsion of the half king's capital.

You're just saying Monica doesn't know because she's young? No, but none of the people I've ever met in King's Capital realized who I was...

"More than that, Monica, what happened to the paperwork you just asked for? For some reason, it's left flaky out there?

"Uh-huh!? Yes, I was just about to now!?

"I'll tell you what. If we don't get rid of that, we're not going home today, are we? You wouldn't want to be in the Adventurer Guild for the morning, would you?

"Hit me good! Good luck!

Monica pulled into the back as she gathered the documents in a hurry. I smiled at you for being such a delightful kid whenever I saw you.

"Keep your rewards for accomplishing your mission as usual. Then I'll go home. Anna's got the rest of the job to do."

"Oh, yeah. Dad."

Anna stopped me from trying to turn my heel back.

"Hmm? What's up?

"Earlier, someone came to the guild looking for my dad."

"Me? You know him?"

"I don't recognize you. The man turned his big sword to the receptionist and said, 'Where's Kaisel?' I've been asking intimidating. Though I answered that I was on a mission and left silently. It was a very noisy atmosphere."

Anna has been staring at me with worrying eyes.

"... although I don't think Dad would worry. But be careful. Maybe they'll bring bad things"

"Okay. Thanks for letting me know."

... who's looking for me?

From the way Anna reported it, it doesn't seem to bring good news. We have to be very careful.
