Volume 1 - CH 18

《The other day, Clover dazzled us with a video of them defeating Zarnag, and today they're back with another one!》

《Is this video from ...... showing the defeat of Lefty Hand, the Wandering Left Hand, the floor boss on the fifth floor of the underground ruins of Gorgona》

《That's right. This red costume, which has been talked about before, is the leader, Yuki, who is also a red mage. Well, his movement are that I love every time.》

.

《What do you mean?》

《After all No chantingQuick cast ,The technology is amazing! That is an advanced skill of a red mage who prepares magic in advance, but it is a fairly difficult skill that you have to select an appropriate one and put it on standby before battle. Without a great deal of experience and knowledge, that won't work.》

《I see, I see.》

《And also... ......》

When I see Yuki projected on the big screen of the Adventurer's Guild, I bite my teeth.

I don't know at all whether a sober guy is touted except for his appearance, which is useless for anything.

It's not a high-difficulty dungeon attack video, and it's not a rare video of defeating a floor boss in a shallow level.

It seems that the quality of viewers has gone completely downhill these days, as they think this kind of thing is interesting.

However, we can't say the same about the current situation.

We at Thunderpike have been doing the same thing as before, but lately the number of viewers has been dropping and one of our sponsors left us the other day.

The other day, one of our sponsors left us. ...... It's a business, but we may have to deliver something like this.

"Damn, that ...... Yuki guy is getting all gushy with the low rank parties."

Barry, who also watched the broadcast, choked on his drink.

"I heard he was promoted to A-rank the other day. It's tempting to get carried away. But I'm talking about us."!

Recently, we, the Thunderpikes, have been having trouble and failures.

The only reason for this is the poor quality of the new members, but a failure is still a failure.

In addition, there is the problem of not being able to find new members.

We welcome them into the party not as temporary spots, but as regular, full-time members, but most of them leave after one or two jobs.

I've heard that the number of "bad adventurers" who lack motivation, patience, and perseverance is increasing, but it seems that the rumors are true.

《Oops!　　Yuki-san, use the magic scroll scroll here. Push in at once!　　That's a nice assist, Gato-san.》

《Yes, it was perfect timing. It's also a great way to work with your friends. With his assistance, I'll be able to challenge the dungeon.》

《I'm not sure about that. ...... Here, the defeat is complete. It was a close victory.》

《Keep an eye on" Clover "in the future! Now let's move on to the next delivery. Next is ── …… 》

I sigh involuntarily at Yuki in the delivery.

But ... was Yuki the one who could move like that?

No, at least when he was in Thunder Pike, he wasn't like that.

<Distorted glow arrowPrismic missile> he didn't use new magic that no one knew, and it must have been more sober, clerical, and lethargic.

"Hey, it's a problem if you can't find a member as it is, why don't you call him back at this time?"

"Yuki?"

"Yeah. I'm sure he'll be able to keep up with us, if not better than those gutless bastards."

Barry has a point.

The quality of the new members has been declining, and because of this, requests and dungeon attacks continue to fail.

If things continue like this, it will affect their adventurer credibility score, and they may even be downgraded.

At least, when Yuki was with us, we never failed multiple times in a row.

That may have helped us as a chore.

"That's the ...... point, isn't it, that it's all about the money?　　Just add a little color to the reward. Cut down on the useless Jamie's share, too."

"But he got out on his own, remember?"

"He got frustrated because he didn't have the money, right? He's probably regretting it right now."

"...... Yeah, I know. And you can't earn an adventurer's credit score when an A-rank does a low-rank request. It might be a good idea for us to break the ice here."

He's been telling us since he was a kid that the goal of our adventure is to reach the Abyss Gate, the door to the Abyss, at the end of the world. To do so, we need permission from the government and the adventurer's guild, and we also need a high adventurer credit score.

Being a member of an A-rank party like ours is almost a requirement.

I was surprised when he said he was leaving knowing this, but the reason was money.

On the other hand, if we could get him to agree to a little compensation, he would come back

I'm sorry to say that my childhood friend ...... is pathetic.

It makes me embarrassed that such a lonely person is my childhood friend

"Next time you see him, let's talk to him."

"Yeah, let's do that. We need to come to terms with each other. Let's let bygones be bygones."

I laughed and clinked mugs with Barry.

I'll have to check with Jamie and Camilla later, just in case, but I don't think they'll object.

In the first place, Thunderpike was doing well until Yuki said something like that, and now that he's out, we have to find a new member.

We need him to take responsibility as an adventurer and as an adult.

After that, if we forgive him, everything will be back to normal.

"Oh, you can talk to him at ......."

When I looked back at Barry's look, I saw Yuki with three young girls, talking happily and appearing at the entrance of the guild.

A red-haired female swordsman, a silver-haired dark elf, and a young-looking monk.

All of these girls are good looking, but they look unrefined,......, and they are probably just starting out.

He's a virgin, so he must have been seduced and fooled.

I can't believe he didn't realize that he was being used as an excuse by a newbie who wanted a B-rank (or is it A-rank now?) adventurer credit score for accepting requests.

It's still annoying.

I don't think there is anyone who calls out to the red mage. Jeez.

Well, I'll go talk to him.

I stood up and proudly walked in front of Yuki.

"Hey, Yuki."

TL Note- As I have said before  I won't write names on Simon or his party members Pov Chapters.

I don't do that on small fry's Chapter. On a side note Evil Avalon has gotten sponsored again. Spring has come for Evil Avalon.
