"What, no temps after all"

"Temple? I don't know, but I need you to forgive me here."

A little too bad, I lean my neck about Toya, who said blush, and I nod to Cyrus, who apologizes, when I look at Chillari and Meatier.

"It's good because there was no real harm..."

"I'm sorry. Freddy, they rarely show their faces, but they're not new. Already a Rank Six Adventurer."

Whoa, I don't remember telling Cyrus, but he knew he was up to Rank Six.

Most importantly, Mr. Ketra saw and knew our guild card, and Cyrus was such an adventurer that he was entrusted with escorting the Branch Manager. Is it not so surprising that the information is shared?

But Freddy didn't seem to believe us, and he sees us in turn with a surprised look.

"What, are you serious? Mr. Cyrus. Such a young man? Not that I doubt Mr. Cyrus, but that's right..."

To two men who have just grown up, two obviously underage girls.

And one hasn't even turned ten.

You can't help but mistake me because the Hulkas aren't here, but you can't help but believe I'm told I'm a Rank Six Adventurer in this face.

"No, they're young, but they're pretty good, aren't they? It begins with a bandit crusade, accompanied by the captivity of the mastermind of the Sacred Virgin Church of Satomi, the escort of the princess to the realm of the margin, and in Pinning, even the resolution of the kidnapping case. The trust from the Lords was also thick, which also benefited the Alliance considerably. Well, you deserve a higher rank."

Listed like this, we've done a lot of things in the past year and a half.

I didn't mean to move so flashy...... could we, pretty celebrities?

... don't you?

Given the population, I think it's a bit topical in some parts of your town.

I don't even feel like I've achieved enough to be that proud.

Cyrus has a good grasp, probably because it has something to do with the guild.

But behind my back, Freddie raised her eyes.

"He and the others!? You don't look that good..."

"Let me tell you something, there are three more of us, party members, right?

"My sister and I are not rank six."

"So you and your elf are rank six? Mr. Cyrus, the others, the arms too?

"Of course not? Rank Six isn't sweet enough to have an adventurer you can't fight, is it?

Adventurer rank and combat skills are not directly relevant.

Just as simply being strong doesn't increase your rank, if you don't have to be strong enough to put your trust aside and benefit your guild, your rank will increase... Apparently.

So I guess Freddie asked Cyrus, but when it comes to just over four or something, there's no such thing as an adventurer who can't fight, even if there's a difference in its strength.

"Oh, yeah. You guys heard it was dawn of training, right? It's a good opportunity, why don't you and Freddy do it?

"With this guy...?

I haven't had many opportunities to train with other people, so I thought that would be good too, but it was Freddie who peeled my eyes off.

"Hey, Mr. Cyrus! What are you doing, Rank Six?!? I can't do it!

"Freddy, try to be desperate once in a while, too! Set your limits. Don't wrap yourself around it."

"Small, do you hate it!?"

Sure, Freddie is small.

So much so that it's not so different from Mary specifically.

But that's not what Cyrus would be saying.

I know he's not a bad guy, but around trying to drink from day to day without training, he seems lacking in upliftment.

I'm surviving to this age, so I guess it's pretty easy to do, but as Cyrus, do you want me to work harder or something like that?

"What do we do, Toya, Mary, Meatier?

"Isn't that good? Let's get this straight, we're free. Our experience with interpersonal matches will feed Mary and the others."

"I don't have a problem with that either. If we don't try harder, we won't be able to catch up with Mr. Toya."

"Me too!

"Well said. Let's move to the training ground."

"Hey, I haven't agreed yet!?"

Over there, and if I point to the back of the guild, Freddie waves like he's panicked because we know it's high rank or something subtly trivial.

But on its shoulders lies Cyrus' disappointing hand, which makes it impossible to escape.

"Hey, Freddie. You're not running, are you? Are you gonna crush my face? Oh?"

"No way. There's no way to embarrass Mr. Cyrus. Hehe."

"Then it's good. You're a middleman in this town, too. You're gonna expose yourself, aren't you?

Cyrus and Freddie, laughing together but that look contrasts.

Cyrus with a grin that seems fierce and Freddie with a grin that pulls.

There's that height difference, and if you look at it from a third party, it just looks like Freddie's being intimidated, no matter what.

"So Ketra, I'm going to play with them for a second. Tell William I'll be there later."

"I understand. Cyrus, I don't mind you ever getting hurt, but don't let the Toyas, especially Mary and Meatier, get hurt, okay? If I let you get hurt... you know that, right?

"Oh, hey, sure."

Seeing Mr. Ketra smiling at Nicole, Cyrus pulled in the seemingly good mood smiling face just now and nodded in a strange way.

◇ ◇ ◇

We moved to the training ground, each with a simulated weapon close to what we normally use, warming up lightly.

Where my body warmed up, I was actually going to try a mock fight.

"First...... Freddie and Toya, you want to try?

"Is that me? Don't deal with a knife duplicant for the first time."

"Hehe, now you have a lot of experience. It's not easy to lose!

Taking Cyrus' word, Toya and Freddie move forward.

Toya is the usual shield and wooden sword, against which Freddy holds a knife-shaped wooden sword in both hands.

I guess it's a way of fighting with speed, based on your structure and physique.

"Ready? - Begin!"

When Cyrus signals, Freddie jumps in.

The move was faster than I thought, but Toya calmed it down, swept it with a sword, and wouldn't let it near her.

There seems to be a little confusion about the battle of a duplicitous opponent, but demons and other things are like having weapons in both hands without a hand.

If you're a small, fast demon, there's Stub Burroughs and so on, and Toya's not weak enough to collapse just that.

"As I thought, Toya's pretty good at it"

"Freddy's pretty strong, too. I was under the impression that it was something small..."

"He's losing it in words and deeds... Even so, it's up here in this town, isn't it?

While we were talking about that with Cyrus, Toya and Freddie's mock fight ended.

Should I say as expected, it was Toya who won.

After that, while I was taking a break, Freddie and I had a mock fight in Me, Mary and Meatier's order.

"Is Nao out of the question? It's not compatible.... if we get close, we're going to figure it out?

As Cyrus says with a bitter smile, if we fought in between the spears, Freddie was just not scared.

You thought it was complete and not revealing, Freddie jumped in once thrown away, but to that extent panicked, I'm not inexperienced either.

"It sounds too fast! Even if it's a little close, he beat me up normally!

"For once, you can use bars, me."

The skill level is not high compared to the spear, but I also have [bareback] skills. Treating spears as sticks and other things.

Because even if you can't fight to the point of being approached, you get hurt when dealing with more than one demon.

"But my opponent was subtle, Mary, but you worked hard on him."

"This one wasn't compatible either. In a different way. You're just fighting around the corner, aren't you?

Mary wielding a two-handed sword and a knife duplicitous Freddie.

Speaking of which is better when you do a one-on-one simulation, Freddy would be better off if there was no difference in skill.

A two-handed sword is also advantageous when dealing with large or hard enemies such as demons, but it is difficult to get around small.

As a result, the simulation between the two men led to an increase in armaments for Freddie.
