Soul Eater of the Rebellion

"Well, hey, why don't you join our party if you like? 』

In January, I was solicited after a short time since I started adventurers in the city of Ishka.

A boy of the same age called Lars. He was fed up with poor rural living and chose the adventurer's path for wealth and fame.

The face that laughs, which is the most common reason to be open-minded, is something that people like.

"A little! It's rude to be "you" for the first meeting! 』

The girl who laughed at Lars said she was Ilia. He was a childhood friend of Lars and was good at martial arts and recovery magic that he learned from his mother who was a priest warrior.

With regard to Iria, wealth and fame were secondary, and she seemed to accompany Lars who had left the village.

Her strong eyes and long black hair tied to her ponytail resembled her former marriage.

"If it's rude, isn't it more rude to start a quarrel with a solicitation? 』

Pointed hat and cane. A girl dressed like a magician sighs as if she was stunned.

The name of the girl whose burning red hair and freckles are characteristic is Miroslav.

It's a pretty good house, wearing a silk robe and a big magic stone on the wand. He also wore expensive earrings and bracelets.

"Everyone, calm down. Is this person also in trouble? 』

Luna Maria is the long-eared girl who looks at the three reluctantly arguing and licks with a troubled face.

She was an elf.

Sage A genius who is a hunter, a spirit scholar, and even qualified.

Five years ago, Lars and Ilia were 13 years old, and Miroslav was 14 years old. At such a young party, the elf girl was a pillar in many ways-and his age was "secret, fufu."

Hayabusa: They called themselves "the sword."

G-rank, a new party just formed, looking for a member to be avant-garde.

To tell the truth, I declined the offer at first.

He was glad that he was invited, but he had a vivid memory of his dry separation from him, and he was almost afraid to act together with others.

But Lars was eager to invite him.

"Somehow do it! I saw you last time at the guild's training school, not, you're swinging! I've been swinging my sword for hours, never resting, and I thought it was so beautiful! 』

In the end, Lars came to the fore in such a way.

No, he seemed to be devoured, but he was really glad to say that.

The adventure with them was fun.

But the fun lasted only half a year.

The reason why the party was kicked out is as described above.

Miroslav called him a scammer in front of him, and Ilia slammed a sharp blame.

Lars was silently silenced, but his disappointment was evident in his eyes.

Pity The only one, Luna Maria, did not blame him, but her gaze with sympathy turned her heart far deeper than the behavior of the other three.

Desperate After that, Falcon's sword gained party ranks as if to clear the stagnant stagnation, and has now reached the C rank five years later.

Former friends who became top-notch adventurers who could not be pushed or pushed.

If you are based in the same city, you may have a chance to work with them.

◆◆◆

"What are you doing here?"

Three days after being expelled from the adventurer's guild.

As usual, while collecting herbs in the Titis Forest, I was suddenly heard from behind.

A voice full of hatred and contempt is familiar.

Looking back, there was a person standing as expected.

Unintentionally raising his eyebrows, the opponent put his hand on his hip and turned his chest.

"-Hmm, what is that face? If you have something to say, why not say it back? Even though you have reached the limit of talent, it is a scam that has been infesting us for half a year by hiding it Let's hear what the teacher says. ''

A very magical girl with a cane and a pointy hat.

The hair that has fallen from the overlooking hat is burning red, with its topaz-colored eyes shining brilliantly.

Magician Miroslav of "Falcon Sword".

Once a girl who worried about freckles, grew beautifully to smell in five years.

However, no matter how beautiful you become, you don't feel attractive if you are so devoted.

With that in mind, Miroslav laughed with his nose.

Despise: "Can't say anything? Yes. It's not what I'm talking about, it's a fact."

Miroslav tries to continue the words.

The voice that stopped her resounded.

"Miro, leave it alone"

It was Lars who broke in.

Hayabusa Toshihide, the leader of the C-rank party "No Ken", climbed to the sixth grade at the age of 18 as an individual.

Both were veteran territories with more than a decade of adventurer calendar, and Lars, who accomplished it just five years, twenty years ago, was renowned as an up-and-coming adventurer.

…… I became an adventurer at the same age and the same time, but I noticed that the difference was quite wide.

Lars glances at me. There was no sign of a smile on his face with his lips bent slightly.

"The guild is fired, Sora."

"……Oh"

"Isn't the level as it is? To be here is still going to continue working as an adventurer, but you should quit already.

"... advice, thank you"

Gives a casual reply to your advice.

Then, a black-haired beauty standing next to Lars opened her mouth, wrinkled in her eyebrows.

"Hey! Lars has been giving advice for you, but what is that attitude?"

It was Ilia in a white bodice. Originally a girl with good eyes, like Miroslav, she has been astonishingly beautiful in five years.

It seems that the place where only Lars is in the eyes is the same as five years ago.

"……I'm sorry"

"That ... I'm a person who doesn't have any ambition. I thought it was a little better when I met him."

"Okay, Ilia. It's nothing to do with us anyway. Even if you die without your advice, you'll get your own business."

"It's exactly what Lars says. Let's leave these people alone and go into the forest as soon as possible. "

"Hey Miro, you weren't the first to call out!"

Lars disappear into the forest, saying whatever they like.

The only one who remained here was the Elf Luna Maria.

"I'm fine and above all, Sora-san"

With that said, she bows down. The gentle smile at this looked like it was in the past.

Sanamoto Luna Maria, an exceptionally welcoming Elf, served as a lubricating oil for parties, occasionally tanning and pacifying Ilia and Miroslav, which repeated over the Lars.

When he was in "Falcon's Sword," he was involved in fine-tuned preparations and dealings with him.

However, since she noticed her gaze following Lars like the other two, she carefully contained her feelings.

He was very grateful at the time, as his level did not go up and he did not change his attitude when he was almost luggage at the party.

――However, that gratefulness is blowing away now.

After the party was expelled, the conversation of members who happened to hear at the tavern where I was inspired started.

It was this elf that gave the parasitous nickname "" to the parasite.

Respond briefly to the other party's greeting, "Oh," and turn to Luna Maria to refuse further dialogue.

A confused sign comes from behind, but I don't mind.

I'm sorry to talk about sympathy and duty. Don't worry about parasites, just go to your favorite Lars. I really thought so.

However, this intention did not seem to be conveyed, and a voice of a bell was heard from behind.

"In the last few days, many people are missing in the forest of Titis. Please be careful Sora."

"... missing?"

I look back over my shoulder unexpectedly.

Luna Maria nodded with a slightly relieved face.

The forest of Titis is so large that it can swallow a whole country, and there are rumors at the deepest that fantasy species inhabit.

In such a place, there are many cases where adventurers who step into the forest do not return.

Even so, the number of missing people in the last few days seems abnormal.

In addition, some of those who went missing had the same C-rank party as Falcon's Sword, and the guild decided to send a high-rank party to investigate the cause.

"Falcon's sword" is one of them.

Please be careful because the current forest is dangerous.

Lunamaria advises so.

Narrow amount …… To be honest, I wanted to say that it was extra care, but I realized that it was.

So, he thanked him briefly.

"... I understand. Thanks for the advice."

"Welcome. Then I'll go."

Lunamaria said, disappearing into the forest, following her friends.

I am relieved that the unfortunate meeting with my former friends has ended, and resume collecting herbs.

I'm worried about the missing person that Luna Maria told me, but I don't need to be very vigilant on the outer edge, even if I step into the forest.

Rather, if the number of adventurers approaching the forest decreases in this case, the price of picking up herbs may increase. Such expectations cross my heart. That was a matter of others.

――It can't be predicted that the Lars attacked by the King of the Fly will return with the monsters.

Even worse, there was no way to predict that Miroslav would launch a magical attack at you to distract the monster from the wounded Lars.
