Yuusha Densetsu no Uragawa de Ore wa Eiyuu Densetsu o Tsukurimasu: Oudou Goroshi no Eiyuutan

I was listening to Gram as I hunted the first three Big Rats and searched for my next prey. Originally, it was dangerous to distract attention in the area where the Bad Beast (monster) lived, but Gram followed me around.

"First of all, let's understand what kind of weapon is a spear?"

"What a surprise. I thought you were gonna teach me some amazing tricks."

"It's the first time a technique is effective because it has a foundation. Even if you just look at it and imitate it, if you don't have a sure" core "there, it's a free pile. Remember that."

Gram, who was all over me, is in serious mode. In that gap, I listen honestly.

"The biggest advantage of a spear is its length. The strength is the ability to attack from outside the opponent's time."

Outside of time ─ ─ that means we can attack from a position where the other party can't reach. That's why I picked the spear first. After that, I felt that I could use it better than a sword.

"But the spear's strength isn't just long. It's a versatile weapon that you can use to fight at various distances."

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"Instead of explaining it in words, I can actually hold it in my hand. Stop for a second and grab me."

When I stopped there as Gram told me, I grabbed the handle of the spear.

"Looking at the way we fought earlier, my partner used to hold two thirds from the tip. Why?"

"No... I didn't think about it in particular."

"Then think about it a little and try using it again. That grip is the most balanced way to hold a spear."

Next, Gram instructed me to hold the pattern just in the middle.

"Let's start with a gentle swing of the spear."

When I shook my spear as instructed, I felt a little different. I don't need more power to deal with the tip of the hot spring than ever before.

"I think I realized it, but the control of the tip becomes very easy when I hold it in that position. With just half of it, the opposite stone poke is also easy to use to attack."

The spear is easy to swing around and can be swirled around. You can use stone poking in the process.

"Of the spear grips, it's the closest thing to a fight. However, naturally, time will be sacrificed, and since the radius of rotation of the tip will be reduced, the centrifugal force will not be used to reduce the attack force."

Is short-range labor more important than a shot from a distance?

"Now, on the contrary, grab it with a stone thrust. It's a distant grip with the exact opposite of a center grip."

He continued to grip the rear end of the spear as Gram said. It's the most heavy-handed grip I've ever had.

"Maximizing the amount of time between spears and adding centrifugal force is the most powerful. On the other hand, the control of the tip is very difficult, and the centrifugal force increases, so it also requires muscle strength to handle it."

If you swing it, the speed of the tip increases, but the body is swinging around the spear. And I'm very tired.

When I was taught how to grip, I put my spear back.

"There are many things you can do with a bite."

"Spears can be handled by amateurs, but they can also be proficient weapons."

At the same time, I'm a little unconvinced that I can handle my spear so well.

"You don't have to use the grip I just taught you. It just changes a lot to the extent that you keep it in the corner of your head."

"Is that what this is?

"That's not true. You'll get used to it and you'll be able to use it naturally. Let's be nice around here."

Once Gram's guide is finished here, I'll keep looking for Big Rat.

─ ─ On this day, the request was closed after taking down a total of ten big rats.

The next day and the next day. And the next day I even hunt Big Rats. In the meantime, Gram gives me some advice.

Instead of telling me that or this from above, it is in the form of pointing out the part that I have never cared about before. However, when I moved a little consciously there, I felt that the "sharpness" of the spear was increasing.

Even if it's the "grip" that I taught you on the first day. It's a spear grip that I've been casually using until now, but the feeling that Gram's words are "firm" comes at a very short moment. And when I waved my spear according to that feeling, I found that the waste of previous movements was dropped and refined.

"So I told you. My partner is not a bad person. Let me point this out a little bit, if you can take it for granted."

While receiving such grams of words, I processed the Big Rat quickly.

Because there is no waste in movement, or because there is less effort to run per Big Rat, it leads to health conservation, and the amount of Big Rat hunting increases day by day.

Ten animals were limited on the first day due to health problems, but when it continued for a week, there were now nearly thirty days to hunt. I'm most tired of carrying that many crusades and meat.

But there was something here that bothered me a little.

"There are too many Bikrats in this forest!

I've been hunting nearly a hundred Bickrats since I started working as a mercenary. This number is obviously unusual even though there were as many as twenty animals hunted in one week in the village where they came from.

Well, that's all the big rats have left to breed. I'm glad I made the money, but it would have been a nuisance for the neighboring farmers.

─ ─ The big breeding of this Big Rat actually caused terrible things, but it is not long before we know it.

I didn't wave at other clients and even hunted Big Rats, so other mercenaries gave me a great nickname for "Rat Killer." For mercenaries aiming for the top, it's a blatant slander because killing Bikrat is a labor-intensive and unproductive task.

However, given the ratio of risk to money, Big Rat hunting is currently the best option. I have some thoughts, but I don't care much.

On the other hand, unlike the mercenaries, they were greatly appreciated by the union.

The presence of Bickrats, which are fertile and devour crops, is a headache for farmers, and neighboring farmers frequently ask unions to do so.

However, the lowest rank is achieved in the eradication of Big Rats. Low rewards for one exterminator. It would be better for a mercenary to hunt down a few more good bad beasts (monsters) than to exterminate ten a day like me.

Thanks to this, Bikrat's extermination request was sent to the union, but very few mercenaries received it.

I finally understood why Bickrat was breeding in that forest. It's just that there was no hunter.

I seem to have been very grateful to have taken the initiative in selecting and processing it.

In this way, it seems that I was impressed by the members of the union who asked me to do a half-salt job even though I couldn't earn it.
