The store I come to with Mr. Lineal is one where I sometimes take a trip.

I also see the adventurer.

Some people seem to know Mr. Lineal.

... Well, she's still a monk today.

Few people would be adventurous with this.

Of course, there's no such thing as church people don't fight at all.

It's never strange that they, who travel quite a bit, have the ability to fight, but that's why few will even come to the guild with their monastic clothes.

I took a seat with Mr. Lineal, and then I ordered the food.

Bread, soup, and demonic meat.

We ordered the same thing from each other.

"I don't know if it's in Mr. Lineal's mouth."

This is a fairly priced place.

... I never should have been a more expensive store, but from her knowledge of my rank, I thought it would make me feel weird going to those stores too much.

I don't have a problem with eating that much here.

That's why I came here with her.

"It's alright, because I like everything"

That's how she smiled.

... as long as you're happy with that.

"So, just now, can I ask you something?

"Yeah. Ask me anything"

"What kind of demon is Rabbit Kangaroo?

"... First of all, do you know Rabbit and Kangaroo?

"... right. If you're a wild demon, you've seen each one."

"It feels like those two combined. However, you have to watch your step because your legs are getting pretty strong, which is both of your strengths"

"... footsteps? Then you have to be careful who does melee combat."

"Yeah. And then there's the attack using the horns Rabbit has"

"... I see"

"Some fists by the forelegs held by kangaroos... I think it would be nice for one person in the avant-garde to get stuck around"

"Okay."

If you know how to attack an enemy, it's easy to handle even this one.

I'll write down her story.

"The most troublesome thing about Rabbit Kangaroo is that there is an escape"

"... are you on the run"

"Yeah. Escape somewhat weak. You need to be ready to straighten it out before you weaken it, or you can get away with it."

Don't let them get away with it, huh?

You know, setting a trap before you think you're going to get away.

But I don't even think it's going to be that easy.

One way or another, you'd better put a stop to it all at once.

… will we be able to work well with the members we meet on the spot?

Maybe it's harder than I thought.

"Where did Rabbit Kangaroo come from this time?"

"The place is like a forest."

"... oh. Really? Then I think there will be demons after Rabbit Kangaroos. Be careful."

"What kind of demon is it?"

"Wolf Species Demon. Well, I don't think Wolf would have a big problem around here."

"That's true. But sometimes they move from one place to another."

"Yeah. I've never been over cautious. However, if you are out as an E-rank request, you should be investigating it once. So for now I don't have to worry about another kind of demon"

"... Yes, I understand"

"And Rabbit Kangaroo is a demon eating demon ore, so be careful"

... Speaking of which, some demons were like that.

"Sure, eating demon ore changes your ability, right?"

"Yeah, it makes me very strong. You should know because the individuals you eat have demon ore in their bodies. Eaten demon ore, it changes strength, so be careful."

"... ok"

When I'm taking notes, she pounds and slaps her hand.

Then she took out a piece of paper and started drawing something with a pen.

... That's a painting.

"Oh, what is that?

"Rabbit Kangaroo"

What do you mean?

Too... that, I don't know, original.

But Mr. Lineal has turned the painting this way along with his confident face.

"I'll give you this. I hope it helps."

"... Oh, thank you"

I'm confident, so I'll take it.... but maybe this is what the actual demon looks like too.

It's rude to say that you haven't seen the real thing yet.

I tried to pinch it in a note, and I put that paper away.

Mr. Lineal chuckled as I asked more questions and made more and more notes about what was needed.

"What is it?

"Serious"

"... is that right?

As an adventurer, isn't this about natural?

"Few people freshly become adventurers do that much research. I'll keep that in mind later."

"I want to rank up as soon as I can. Once you fail, you're going to lose points again, aren't you?

Points required for Rank Up are reduced by 50 points when a promotion request is unsuccessful.

Until we do it again, we need to get a request at least five times.

"Yeah. Are you in such a hurry to rank it up and have any goals?

I didn't know how far to go to talk, but I gave Mr. Lineal my first weapon.

Easy, let me tell you my dream.

"Me... I want to be top notch as a blacksmith. So is Mr. Lineal's gear, but I think we can still build a stronger weapon. And to do that, I want to touch all sorts of materials, and I want to build weapons to match the demons."

"... a tighter weapon. Besides, it fits the demon...?

"Yes. One day, we want to make weapons that line artifacts, that go beyond artifacts."

……

Exactly, has it come out too big?

I was embarrassed and trying to delude myself, and Mr. Lineal grabbed my hand.

"Awesome, dream.... I will do my utmost to support it, too"

"Ho, is that true?

"Yeah. Because like me, some people are sure to want weapons"

... as long as you're happy with that.

"I'll do my best"

"Yeah. Me too, after passing the exam at Alliance headquarters, I'll be back. Next time, I might ask for a weapon."

"... I'll be able to make something better by then"

"I will also work hard and be active to keep your weapon in the eyes of a little more people"

If Mr. Lineal is going to be so cooperative, we need to work harder.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Lineal. Guild headquarters is definitely the king's capital, right?

"Yeah."

"It's north of Wang Du...... do you know what Eubalsa School is?

"Of course. Especially this year, because there are five brave men. I hear that's already a festival"

"Does Mr. Lineal have business to go to?

"It's been a long time, and I have some business at your church, so I'm not going"

"I hope you're free...... can you remember if there's any information on the brave or anything like that?

"Brave man?"

"Yes, because my childhood tame has become a brave man. For once, I'm exchanging letters, but I don't know if I'm struggling."

Maybe there are troubles you can't write in the letter or something.

Especially in Lynn's case, because she's the kind of kid who keeps those things hidden.

Embrace it all by yourself and try to work it all out. Bad habit.

"It is. Okay. But, well, I think I can only hear rumors of the wind, or something like that."

"That's okay, so let me know if you find out anything. Oh, it's the name of a brave man once, but it's called Lynn."

"Oh, that sounds familiar. The brave boy who left our city... was a childhood friend of Lelius."

"... the blacksmith remembered and the brave didn't?

"Because it's basically unrelated to me. Blacksmiths were more important."

I'm a church official, so it would be more important if I were to be brave.

The food is brought in.

The hot air is rising from the bread and soup that can be made.

Both look delicious.

We turned to each other and prayed lightly to God before eating.
