Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 32: First Request and Down

At the end of breakfast, Illis brought some lunchboxes and handed them to each of them.

"Lunch is ready."

If you open the box and look inside, you can see that it is something that is considerably handled one by one and is considered delicious even if it is cold.

Nutrition seems to be well balanced, and I'm so worried about how quickly this girl woke up making these things for a number of people.

But if you think about it for a second, because Iris is an ancient demon race, he's not that much of a necessary species about sleep.

There is no way that getting up early can be more bitter than having a short enough sleep.

But still, Lulu had once again learned to respect this girl, who could do this kind of care.

That seemed to be the case with this pair of companions, who alternated between lunch and Ilis with a frightened face, feeling unsure of what to say.

Apparently, Iris took that look in a different way, tilting his little neck,

"... Could it have been unnecessary?

and asks with a slightly anxious face.

The threesome shook their heads sideways in panic, then said each one.

"No, no! That's not true! Thank you, thank you so much!

Gaya boy just thanked him even as he had left his busy look somewhere.

Then Girl Yu also cracked her nose to the smell of lunch before

"Thank you, Iris...... next time, tell me how to make it"

I'm glad to say.

Sharica boy at the end, but he once again looked so sorry,

"For breakfast, until lunch...... really, what can I say without causing you any trouble......!

And all I could do was apologize for the flat out like this. I was so frightened that I managed to get nothing in Lulu and Illis.

Then we were to head to the Adventurers' Union (Guild), but the trio left the house first, so Lulu also thanked Illis once again.

"Sorry, Iris... I didn't have to go this far"

Then Iris shook his head like nothing,

"Again, let's start with the stomach, so..."

and leave the house saying something I'm not sure what it is.

Lulu tilted his neck and thought a little meaning, but couldn't get to the answer, keeping the house tight before following the threesome and the back of Illis.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

When we reached the Adventurers Union (Guild), the threesomes flew away in front of the requisition board with tremendous momentum.

Lulu and Illis are late for that too soon, in such a way that they are left standing blurry at the Adventurers Union (Guild) entrance.

I think as we look inside the Adventurers' Union (Guild) that it might have taught us the rules of the adventurer, on the other hand, that we might not have a choice in this way.

There are a lot of people hissing around, especially in front of the ticket boards, so many people flocking close to the initiative that they hesitate to go a little further.

When I came early in the morning, why is it so crowded, I used to tilt my neck compared to how idle I looked when I came to the Adventurers Union (Guild).

"This is pretty much what junior adventurers are like."

And I heard a lot of voices from Uro, so they turned around.

Seeing, there stood Rusty, a childhood trainer and apprentice and godson from the village of Cadiz, plus Mi and Yuri.

Lulu and Illis smile and talk to childhood tame who had barely had a chance to talk over here since coming to Wang Du.

"It's been a long time since we've all three...... I knew you seemed fine, but when you look at it like this, you're an adventurer at one end"

If I looked at that standing again, unlike when they were all in the village, I felt compelled by the way they were wearing weapons anyway.

In other words, it was well understood by Lulu, who has seen the process of recruits becoming ancient soldiers more than once in the past, that it was due to the experience he had spent months with that figure.

As I had heard in the letter, and also in the rumors, this is how I could see with my eyes that all three of them were solid adventurers in this city, and I felt kind of emotional, Lulu.

To Lulu like that, Rusty laughed.

The smile is also starting to mix, not with the color of naughty boy, as it used to be, but with adult spare somehow.

Of course, from Lulu's point of view, I'm pretty sure it's not yet, but it still makes me happy to see growth.

Rusty says.

"Well, compared to where you are in the village..."

Listening to Rusty's words, I looked around and I could see the junior adventurers and the thoughtful young people staring at Rusty and the others with some mixed respect, and Lulu told me to tear it up.

"Dude, sounds like you're a lot of respect. And yet, even if they say so..."

"This is... no, stop doing that... I'm so ashamed..."

Why are you embarrassed, that was once the moment you took office as Demon King, you knew from Bacchus' gaze that it was similar to what Lulu felt, but it's nothing wrong.

It would be permissible to tear it up somewhat.

Besides, it's valuable to say who you can interact with like this.

To a nostalgic sensation, Lulu felt his heart unraveling for the first time in a long time.

And the story goes back to the dialogue Rusty said at the beginning.

"With that said, I was just saying... what do you mean, this is what junior adventurers are like?

It was Mi who answered that question of Lulu.

Unlike seven years ago, the colour of its hair has become all radiant and beautiful, and she has grown tall and is now quite beautiful.

Is that why I gather considerable gaze from the men in the Adventurers' Union (Guild), but around not responding at all to such gaze, I may no longer be used to it.

"That's because there are a lot of requests from junior adventurers for day trips. I have reason to take it as early as possible in the morning to increase the success rate of the request and to finish it as soon as possible. And... you see, it's rare to get along that way."

Said, if you stare at the person on the requisition board, you can see that the two adventurers are supposed to be close to working together on a single requisition.

"Is there no spirit of concession"

As Lulu shrugged, this one was also extraordinarily colorful seven years ago, and Yuri sighed with a luscious charm that seemed to hold a man in his hand with one gaze.

Neither grey hair nor pale eyes have changed from those days, but one such sigh is likely to be a painting, emitting a charm in contrast to Mi.

"It's not until you're in a higher class that you get that kind of thing. In a way, it's important. Because adventurers also have a big part of saying that they win early, so they also need to learn how to handle it before there is a very big risk of injury."

There was something convincing about that opinion, but it was subtly uncomfortable for the village's childhood tame to say something like this from Lulu, who remembers everything that was going on in the village.

I know you've grown up, but it's only been a few months.

I felt kind of disappointed to learn again what I call the speed of the past month.

Seeing how Lulu is like that, Iris said,

"Well well... brother. Don't be discouraged… people change."

Naturally its speed is different from that of the Demons, and Illis added in the volume that only Lulu can hear.

Lulu recovered to the word, then asked again.

"With that said, you guys are mouthwatering like you're not junior adventurers...... what about around there?

It was Rusty who answered the question.

He says with a slightly embarrassing, but proud look.

"Oh, we got intermediate inferior a while back. For once, as an adventurer, that means"

Intermediate inferior in the adventurer's class, from the junior inferior level, means three, and from what I hear from the Gaya boys, it usually takes more than six months to get one class up, it would mean a pretty quick rise.

Lulu and Illis send an honest praise and bless the three childhood trainees who have shown so much track record.

"That's awesome. You did your best."

"I was worried about how strong you've gotten since then... you didn't have to"

The three seemed kind of embarrassed when they were praised for letting go by two mostly direct masters, also in a position to say.

But it's true to say that the three of them worked hard.

The two people, who understood from past experience leading their men that when praising people, should be praised firmly, praised the three of them in full, without any redundancy.

Then a while later, a gaya boy who apparently noticed that Lulu and Illis were not there was finding them and running.

Apparently, the Gaya boy, who had taken it for granted that the two of them were following him, watched the request form for a while without realizing it.

The other two still seem to be in the vortex of engagement in front of the requisition board, and the Gaya boy seems to have rushed to get Lulu and Iris to join it.

"Hey, what are you doing here..."

That's about it, and I think I realize who's next to the Lulu's.

Open your eyes,

"La, Senior Rusty!?

and so on.

But no matter how respected people are there, they seem to understand exactly what time and case is.

"Yes, no... now I have to take the request faster than that... sorry, seniors! I have to take a request with these guys, so excuse me!

That said, I grab Lulu and Iris and move on into the vortex in front of the requisition board.

Lulu and Illis had to go into that vortex, and with their vain eyes, they looked bitterly at Rusty and the others and waved.

After the two disappeared, Rusty blurted.

"... if it's true, we would have liked to be asked to join them."

Mi and Yuri say to that voice that just seems a little lonely.

"You can't do that right now. It's the chief's orders. Don't tell me it's childhood friendly. I'm free enough to talk."

"Yes, yes... and those two will soon outrun us, and we just need to get a request together in those days"

In fact, I had a painfully good understanding that Lulu and Iris' strength far outweighed the three in a mock fight just before they left the village.

I've been an adventurer for a few months, but I can assure you that I don't even know an adventurer with as much combat power as those two have so far.

"I look forward to the look on your faces when the Gayas find out about it."

That's what Rusty said, staring at the crowd on the requisition board.

The three of them get the request after that vortex disappears.

Until then, I walked to a union tavern to drink tea for a while.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

While in the whirlpool of men, Lulu and the others indulge in their contents in order to take the request form.

Having said that, of course, the junior adventurers there are not in the kind of situation to indulge in, but I feel close to saying, "Whatever you want, give me a request."

However, Lulu and Illis have high physical abilities.

I've always seen what kind of requests are and where they are, and the rest is just a matter of which requests to choose.

That's why I ask Gaya boy.

"What kind of request would you like!?

I couldn't help but yell a little because of the hustle and bustle that seemed unreachable.

Gaya boy answers with the same scream.

"Herb collection system! Day trip!"

It was a terminal response.

But it was also an adequate response.

Lulu blinds himself to Illis, aiming at one requisition, and when he rubs a man's sea, he gets out and takes it.

Then he picked up the Gaya boy along the way, and Yuyu and Sharika, who were about to go down rubbed by a crowd of people, and got out of the herd.

Lulu asks the Gaya boy a question as he looks at the two of them turning their twirling eyes.

"Are you okay with this?

"It's going to be a fight, it's going to be tight, but you're not very good at places like this, these guys"

In that response, I somehow guessed why this party was supposed to get a few days of herb collection, etc.

I guess that's what happened because I'm supposed to leave it to one gaya boy.

"I don't think I should worry about that this time."

Lulu nods as he reads what's on the requisition he took.

Collection of hositul grass.

That's what it said there.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Step out of the Wang capital and walk down the streets extending west from there.

After a while, we see the idle woods of the trees, not too deep, but that was the destination of this one.

Hoshitsulu grass, is one of the ingredients of a long-existing, low-impact wound drug (potion), a common plant for which collection requests are always made.

It may be said that the habitat is everywhere, and if you walk a little green, it is easy to find it growing.

However, when I think about taking a certain amount, around it, that's why I don't go, and I also need to think about dividing into the woods.

In this request, it was stated that the quantity collected was not specifically instructed, and that if I took it, I could buy it, and if so, I would go into the woods and look for it.

If we continue until the sun goes down, it will be a pretty good amount, he said.

That said, the material in question is a low-level wound drug (potion).

No matter how much you take, there's no part of it that you know about.

However, it would be my first request if I tried Lulu and Illis.

It was only by holding on to these simple requests that I admired the gaya boy's words that he could be alone as an adventurer, and decided to work hard to get it straight.

In fact, it wasn't that hard to harvest Hoshitsuru grass, but they have quite a trick, and the Gayas trio are better able to harvest more Hoshitsuru grass in a short time than Lulu and Iris.

I don't regret it a bit, but I'm totally used to this sort of thing.

I have often done this with the help of my parents, to the three of them, I left that almost to my men, and it may have been impossible for the two of them to defeat.

That said, talent, or should I say, taste, is won by Lulu and Illis.

By sundown, the collections of Lulu and Illis were enough to line up with the collections of the threesome to surprise the Gayas.

Originally, they are two people who have long had a workaholic place.

If I let him work on the simple task, he would have had the concentration to do it unconsciously until the stop took him from somewhere.

As such, the five men, who have had enough of a battle for their first request, decide to return to the Path to the King's Capital with a mollusc face.

Incidentally, the lunch prepared by Illis was delicious and they all ate without being left behind.

That's how a threesome hurries to walk to the city in the streets where dusk sets.

If we keep walking like this, we'll be in the city in a few minutes, that's when it happened.

It was Iris who raised his voice in the beginning.

"... brother. People are falling. That's a strange outfit... a bright white top, a scarlet loose underwear... something we don't see around here."

"What?"

When I was told, there was a girl lying and falling in the middle of the street and one bright white puppy lying upside down next to it.

In a hurry, the five rush that far, confirming.

I don't know if he's alive, if he's a little slurred, if he's trying to speak up, but he's not responding.

However,

"... Munya..."

And I heard the bedtime speech.

The dog also sprained his leg a little and found out he was apparently alive, relieved together, then tried to talk to him about what was going on.

No matter how much he lives, he leaves it on the streets like this because at night, demons will also be activated, and it's dangerous.

The consultation eventually calmed down where the girls were taken by the men on their backs in turn and the puppies by the women on their arms.

"Well, lift me up"

Yes, Lulu said, and when Gaya and Sharica tried to lift the girl to bear Lulu's back, hey! And her eyes opened, and then she began to snort, and she was astonished, and leaned her neck as to what was wrong.

Then the girl's nose gradually approached the bag of Illis, and then she nodded, leaning her neck against Illis and staring at her with her moist eyes.

Iris tilted his neck,

"... what is it...? Ah."

I stuck my hand in the bag like I noticed something, then I took out a familiar box, opened it and handed it to the girl.

Seeing, that's a lunchbox and it's got contents in it even though I should have eaten it all.

"I put the extra in, back in case it wasn't enough...... would you like to have it?

That's what the girl was asked, the first time she uttered a word,

"Yes, fine, so awesome!? Give me this!?

I said.

Ilis laughs so much at the way it is, it's good for Lulu, right, brother, so Lulu nods and answers.

Then Iris handed the girl a lunchbox and she started eating it.

Apparently, he was pretty hungry.

I stared at him thinking that was the reason he fell down, or so the white puppy who seemed to have woken up at some point sat down a bit next to the girl who also eats, with her forefoot playing and tapping the girl's thighs.

I hear the puppy is hungry, too.

The girl who noticed it,

"Oh, yeah... can I give it to this kid?

and asks Iris.

When Ilis nodded to it and replied, the girl started eating half her lunch with her puppy.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Ha... Welcome! Pretty much in front of you..."

He says that in a blurry way somewhere, but it seems true that he appreciates it.

Lulu had a lot to ask, but for now, first, he decided to ask the name.

"So, what's your name?

"Ah, my name is Kyou! Morning Misty Orange Bowl! If it's our name, will it be Kyo-Asagiri? So, this kid's a windflower! It's a girl!"

He even gave me the puppy's name.

You're sitting there behaving, and you look very smart.

That's better than the owner.

I'd like to hear more about it if I can, but it's time for the day to fall.

It would be dangerous to relax here, said Lulu, who thought.

"There are a few things I'd like to ask you, but it's dangerous to be here. We're going back to the king's capital, but what are you gonna do, Kyou?"

When asked so, Kyou raised his hand and

"Ha! He said he could take me with him if he could! Finally, you can introduce me to the inn!

I said, etc.

Five people who said they were outfits, said they were purposeful, and seemingly inexplicable girls, but felt from the atmosphere that they did not seem to be bad daughters.

Then we all nodded and allowed her to accompany us.
