"... ha"

The girl sat down on the ground and sighed.

I don't hear demons anymore. It doesn't look like the next 'Dark Bear' is coming.

"Thank you......"

The girl bowed her head toward the boy.

"Where you are in danger, you have helped me, and I have no words of gratitude"

"This is me, I got something good to show you"

The boy shook his head sideways, as illuminated.

When I looked at it again, I was about my age.

A nobleman would still be old enough to be tutored not long before he entered the school.

(I can't believe there was such an amazing user in a region away from Wang Du. As good as I am, I was not afraid of demons at all. One wrong step, I could have been attacked by 'Dark Bear' myself...... you helped me...... what courage)

The girl accidentally held her chest down.

I couldn't stop my heart from pounding.

(... maybe this guy... of the exam in the example?

"Thanks for the help, boy! That's amazing, you!!

The old warrior raised his voice, unaware of the girl's agitation.

"Are these bats your demons? Wow. Not even the educational institutions of the" Magic Guild "have anyone who can manipulate demons to this point. Damn, that's a lot!!

"No, these kids were strong from the beginning."

"... Really?

"Yeah. I was just feeding. Then we got along."

"... you had a strong bat."

"To live in the mountains where demons come out, you'll have to be strong. than that."

The boy's eyes, straight, looked at the girl.

He had such a strong gaze that he was about to accidentally get barometric pressure.

"If you're a local, you won't be in the 'Dark Bear' nawabari. Anyone who comes from outside will not enter this mountain without an escort of soldiers or adventurers. Why are you guys here?

"Yes, no... we..."

"Don't blame the lady. We heard it was safe here."

"To whom?

"To a governess who serves the house, a man named Kahle-Meegen."

"............... oh well"

The boy will look like he swallowed something bitter.

"That bastard. Think about it a little bit more... with the exams running out in a little while..."

"Could you possibly be from the Baron Glossaria family?

"No, I'm just a hunter"

"Just a hunter doing magic?

"I'm a hunter familiar with witchcraft."

"............... Really?"

".................. yes it is"

"And you're amazing at it. If you were me, you could be in the Sorcery Guild."

"Are you an associate of the 'Magic Guild'?

"... Huh?

"If you listen to me now, I can generally predict"

"Yes. I'm late."

The girl stood up and paid the dirt on her clothes.

Then I look at the old man standing behind me.

You take that gaze, you nod, you check something, and then...

"I am the one who is helping you with your exams. My name is... right... my name is Clara-Listes"

"I am Barnes, the lady's escort."

"In a few days, there's going to be a test around here for 'Magic Guild' membership. We came to the bottom of it. Don't be dangerous or fraudulent."

"Don't tell anyone in the territory. I'll tell you in advance, it'll be a big fuss."

"That's what happened."

"Thanks to you, it helped. If you don't mind, could you let me know your name?

"... shouldn't you be a hunter without a name?

"There's nothing you shouldn't do. It's our benefactor… yes."

The girl touched the back of her ear and removed the hair fastening that was on her silver hair.

"I would like to thank you for this"

"... nothing like that"

"Oh? If you're a hunter, instead of trying to turn what you get from hunting into money?

The girl held her mouth and laughed.

The boy looks like he's in trouble.

I wonder why. As I look at that face, my chest warms up.

"Because of us, the 'Dark Bear' ingredients have been burned. Take this as your substitute. Right?"

"... thank you"

"Phew."

The girl Clara took the boy's hand and put a silver hair fastening on it.

What if I refuse... such thoughts flash through my head.

But the boy honestly received my hair fastening.

"It really helped. And say thank you to your bats."

Once again, the girl bowed her head deeply toward the boy. The old man does the same.

"If you hadn't rushed us, we wouldn't be alive by now. Really...... it was amazing. Like the wind, I guess that's what you say..."

"............... you"

"Huh?"

"... to my stupid son's daughter... who looked just like me"

"............... you have a grandson? No way."

".................. it's nothing. We'll take you to the foot."

Then the boy led Clara and Barnes to the foot of the mountain.

Clara's carriage was hidden in the woods of the mountain hem.

Finally, he also said he wanted to thank Barnes, but the boy said no and left as he was.

"You were wonderful."

Clara, with a sigh, snapped.

"That ability to fight at that young age. Courage to target the steeple of demons with one blow. I wish you were closer to me, like him."

"Is it as an escort? Lady."

"Yes, I would have liked to share my real name with that person if I could..."

"I owe you my life. But you'll soon have the opportunity."

"That one won't even need an exam for the 'Magic Guild'. I want you to stay close to me right away."

"A knight standing to the right of the lady. Everyone admires that position."

"Do you think Barnes is the better candidate for this exam?

"No doubt about it."

The old man Barnes held the axe and nodded satisfactorily.

"That boy is Zeros-Grossalia. Those who want to join the Sorcery Alliance."

"Is it?

"Anything suspicious?

"Teacher Kahle's report states, 'Blonde. Long Length. Courteous Prince'."

"Wasn't it the lady who smudged herself that you couldn't guess the words of that one?

"Kahle's father was brilliant"

"Either way, I think that boy is Zeros-Grossalia. If it was someone else, that Kahle's guy missed all that talent. Then he should just banish himself from the Alliance! You made the lady look like that!!

The girl Clara didn't hear what Barnes said.

In the back of her brain, the appearance of the boy earlier, was still there.

Mysterious hunter. Combat ability to defeat demons in an instant. And the bats that are too strong.

He knew about the 'Magic Guild' exam. If that is not Zeros-Grossalia...... I wonder who it is.

"And... you know someone who looks like me,"

Clara shook her head to the side.

We need to find out a little more about the Baron's house. I felt that way.
