Volume 1 - CH 12

"So, what's going on?"(Silk)

We were alone in the carriage, which was perfect for talking.

"I was followed by a stranger. Then he threatened me to leave this party."(Yuki)

"Was it a small, fat man, by any chance?"

(Silk)

"Yeah, that's right."(Yuki)    　 

Silk seems to know that man.

"Oh, that old fella?"(Marina)

"The persistent one."(Rain)

"I knew you three would know him."(Yuki)

Silk let out a big sigh at my words.

"He's the one who approached me many times at the adventurer's guild. He kept asking me to join his party, or that he needed a man's help. ...... Even when I refused, he was insistent. .I was in trouble.He  was just talking big, but he wasn't any good. When I asked the guild about his adventurer credibility score, he was actually ranked E and didn't have a very good reputation."(Silk)

" he was  foolish enough  to pull out a sword in the open  street. ......"(Yuki)

At my words, the three of them all looked at me at once.

"Are you injured?"(Silk)

"Oh, no problem. I magically put him to sleep and left him alone. Hmm ... but some people might find it troublesome."(Yuki)

"I'm sorry, sir. Because of us, you got into a dangerous situation."(Silk)

"It's not your fault. And it wasn't dangerous."(Yuki)

If at that time ... even if we both pulled out the swords, I would be the one who won.

I'm not so confident in swordsmanship, but even from my point of view, it was clearly full of gaps.

To be honest, I think I was able to deafet him  with my bare hands even if it was attacked as it was.

"Well, I'll report it to the guild when we get back, and if he come back, I'll take care of it. The troubles in that area are my role as a supporter and leader. Everyone should also be careful."(Yuki)

"As expected, Yuki! Reliable!"(Marina)

"Only candy balls will come out if you praise me."(Yuki)

I try to give her a candy but due to the asking of carriage it goes in her armor 

Marina holds the candy ball taken out of her bosom and smiles bitterly.

"Big"(Rain)

"It came out."(Silk)

I'm sure Rain and Silk would love to have some, so I also gave them some.

"I'm going to switch things up from here. The first thing to do is to confirm the request. The main objective is to collect the four "Round Stones of Jomun Waterfall". This can be done without any problem once wr reach the waterfall basin." (Yuki)

"The problem is the Hexenbiest. "(Silk) 　

Hexenbiests are a small category of monsters also know as Demon

Demonmonster Speaking of some are  BolgleSnake dragonworm and Bloody bearBlood bear All together, but speaking of the demon beast in this area refers to Bloody bear Blood bear.

In other words, although their true identity is unknown, the demon monsters that are considered dangerous in the Lake Ordan Forest are at least demon monsters in animal form.

"The fact that this is not a humanoid demon monster that forms organized settlements such as Orks or Borgul gives us some guidance. Speaking of which, didn't you say you've been to the Lake Ordan Forest before?"(Yuki)

"Yes. It was two months ago, wasn't it?　　Two months ago, I was asked to collect 'Night Fragrant Grass'."(Marina)

"Did you encounter any demonic monsters?"(Yuki)

Marina nodded her head in response to my question.

"I don't think I've ever seen anything like ....... I don't think we ran into any normal animals either."(Marina)

Marina's reply made my back creep.If it was her first time in the area, it wouldn't be surprising if she thought that was the way it was, but the Lake Ordan Forest is so rich in life that there are carnival festivals in the nearby villages. 　 　

This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.

"...... That's not good. I think we should tighten up a bit." (Yuki)

"That much?"(Marina)

"Yeah. If the surrounding animals are so tense that they are cowering under their breath, then the hexenbiest might be quite a big one. I want to be careful not to run into it. ......" (Yuki)

I'll be careful, but it'll be difficult.

We have to assume that there will be an attack.

"When we enter the forest, I'll send Gopuro-kun to record it. If there is an encounter or battle, I want to switch to 'live streaming' and take them down if possible, or catch them in the act if they escape."(Yuki)

"Why are you doing a 'live feed'?" (Rain)

Rain tilted her head. 

"There are several purposes. The first is to identify the type of magical beast that is currently unidentified by the guild. Also, if we fall into a critical situation during the transmission, the guild may send reinforcements when they see it. And if you can successfully kill a magical beast, you can use that delivery to prove that you killed it, right?"(Yuki)

"So that's also a way we you can use 'delivery': ......." (Rain)

"I wish more people would use it."(Yuki)

The reason why the magical beast is unknown this time is because the low-ranked party heading to the Ordan Lakeside Forest did not have any magical tool artifacts for delivery. 　 

Well, it takes an alchemist's hand to maintain it, and it's not that inexpensive. I can't blame the fledgling adventurers for not having the magical artifacts for distribution.

Rather, for me, for distribution such as "GoPro-kun" Magic toolArtifact I think the guild can give it away.

It's time for us to make our debut as broadcasters!"(Marina)

"We should have bought some clothes that would look good on the air. ......" (Rain)　

It's a little bit interesting to see how motivated Marina is and how unexpectedly enthusiastic Rain is. 　 

I thought Rain would hate this kind of thing.

"I'm not sure if this is the right haircut for m.Isn't it weird?" (Silk) 

I thought she might scold them for not playing around, but it seems Silk is also concerned about looking good. 　

I'm not sure what to make of that.

Is ...... a dark elf's age-appropriate really age-appropriate?

"It's okay, Yuki. Silk is 17 years old. She is  not a grandma."(Marina)

"... I haven't said anything."(Yuki)

"Marina, please don't disclose my age without permission. It's not enough etiquette for teachers to care about the age of women!"(Silk)

"Sorry, I didn't mean that."(Yuki)

As I bowed my head, Rain grabbed my sleeve and pulled. 

"By the way, I'm the oldest ....... Twenty years old."(Rain)

"Huh? Is that so?" (Yuki)　

I had no idea that Rain, who looked the youngest, was actually the same age as me.

You can't tell a woman by her looks. I'm not sure what to say. 

"I'm sure you'll be able to understand that we can guess what you are thinking by your face ."(Rain) 

"No, no, no! No, I didn't! You're wrong!"(Yuki)

"You're wrong!Yuki . Rain was worried that you're treating her as a kid."(Marina)

"Tha-That's not true!"(Rain)　 

After a noisy time, the carriage carrying us headed towards the Lake Ordan Forest.
