32 Lost Herald Episode 2 Half Elf

My name is Yurika, and I'm a G-rank adventurer.... yet.

I'm getting a request in the city of Connoe, also known as the City of Adventurers, and if I report the failure of a request I'm getting right now, I'm suspended for a year because of five consecutive requests failures.

So we have to go to the guild now to prevent it and get a request to create a potion. Somehow I've always seemed to have the talent for potion making, and the requests to create potions that get stuck out on a regular basis have almost been my exclusive requests.

People with potion making talents usually go that way. I don't do adventurers or anything wrong. Naturally. Potion is a necessity in the city of adventurers. People who can make essentials don't lose their jobs. It's weirder not choosing a job that's safer and more money making than an adventurer.

Yeah, maybe I'm a little crazy.

I became an adventurer because when a bandit came to the village I was in when I was little, I admired the adventurer who quickly defeated it. Mr. Adventurer seemed on the side of justice to me then. No, I was on the side of justice. I think it was only a matter of time before that longing turned into a dream.

I had decided to be an adventurer at some point. He also made a bare gesture with a wooden stick for it. He seemed to have no talent at all, and he was often injured after falling. What irony would it have been that the potion I made to fix that injury improved faster...

I thought being an adventurer would change things a little, but nothing changed. On the contrary, most adventurers were completely different from the adventurers I admired. In the first place, they say it's not the adventurer's job to help people for free. Maybe, but my admired adventurer was also getting paid by someone. It may be natural to ask for help as a job.

But I don't want to be an adventurer. I want to be on my righteous side. So be an adventurer who can't but get you a request for cheap.

The ideal is high, but the reality is tough and as it stands, it also falls off the G-rank adventurer.

"No! No Potion Creation Request!

When I arrived at the guild, I saw the requested version and there was no longer a request to create a potion. I had it this morning. Even though no one in this city is an adventurer and takes this request on purpose.

"Oh, Yurica, what's wrong?

"What's the request for the potion!?

"A new adventurer took it a while ago."

A familiar receptionist says that.

Shit. I forgot the possibility that a newbie would take it. No, but if we go now, we might make it. In the first place, it has a strong meaning to confirm whether the newcomer is gifted with potion creation. Until then if you don't have talent, and even if you do have talent, it's not easy to get up to 100 requests. If you ask me to split the request somehow, I will accomplish the request.

"Sorry! I'm in a hurry!

"Ah... what's the report on the request?

"Later!"

I headed to the store where you asked me to create a potion at full speed. Yeah, well, it's me being told I'm not talented at all when it comes to combat, but I'm confident in my legs. Especially when it comes to escape, enough to make other adventurers disappear.

I have confidence in my legs. Yes, I don't have breasts, but my feet are confident... In two ways...

Ha, had I done the clever thing of getting dark while running, I would have arrived at the store at some point. Later, I feel like I hear a scream saying potion from somewhere. Is that an illusion?

It was a six-party where he was probably a rookie. Ugh, I'm jealous. I've never even partied much... No, I get it. What's the point of adding the one who is good at potion making and weak in battle to his people... I mean, you're totally cost saving. Let me fight...

That's what we talked about, but amazingly these six. They can all make potions. And they've already finished making 100 bottles.

Done. Five consecutive unsuccessful requests.

Sola, the clerk, added a potion making request for me when I thought. Thank you, Mr Sola. But I'm sorry. I'm not going to eat just to create potions.

Even more surprisingly, the six-pack of newcomers said they would take over my request. These people, it seems like adventurer registration is recent, but it obviously feels like they can fight. Absolutely stronger than me specifically. Some young kids, but strong.

I wonder if these people are trying to help me or the villagers in need. I wonder if you're on the side of justice.

I mean you'll wait, so I'll make a potion at full speed. Whoa, I'm not out of my hands. Make it as fast as you can.

... I was satisfied this time. Sora complimented me, too. But I'm really sorry. I'm an adventurer.

The guild ended the takeover. But I don't like to leave these people like this, and most importantly, the aftertaste is bad.

That's why I asked the newcomers to take me. At first it showed a difficult color, but at the end it was supposed to take me. After all, these people are good people. Probably close to my ideal righteous ally.

Even more surprisingly, these people also have carriages. I don't seem to call them nobles, but they're amazing people. I want you to join me if you can. If they managed to like me, they ended up talking about me all the time. The operation to get along didn't seem to work very well.

He said as soon as he got to the village, he was going to defeat Fangwolf. This point is also highly appreciated. I'm not much in Connoe, but some adventurers with bad attitudes can do whatever they want in the village before the crusade. If you're on the side of justice, you have to work refreshingly without wasting your breath.

I saw the fight against Fangwolf, but I could only say it was a roll. Because a toddler girl, like only half of me alive, struck out exactly between Fangwolf's eyebrows... Besides, he doesn't seem like a good fighter in a party to see how he handles it. Then we're talking about how strong he is, the leader.

Take care of your people, you can afford them, you do justice. Exactly my ideal party. Let's definitely get them in.

If you think so, it's just a rapid development. The mayor won't take the request. You guys can afford it!

"Don't say that, take it for him! You guys are strong!

I accidentally spoke to my voice. Something similar happened before. I was at the party then, but I ended up leaving when they asked me to take it and told me it wasn't in line with the policy...

He says the terms of the request are inappropriate. Speaking of which, you took the first request because it remained unusual. When I asked, I think the other adventurers said the conditions weren't very good. Maybe he's right, though. But still, my justice says I should take this request for you.

... but he didn't end up taking the request. He says he's going to help you take the requisition, so I knew he had a heart for justice. Maybe he's right, the request is just too far out of adventurer reason.

I've made up my mind, let's go ask for another favor tomorrow morning. At that time, let's tell the village chief to pack up a little more of the request.

The next day, when I went to tell the story to the village chief, there was a village chief with a totally screwed-up face. Anything, he said he couldn't sleep because he was concerned about the state of the woods. They're not even ready for the requisition.

I just asked him to do it again like this, and he won't take the request. Then I'll have to take the request. Fortunately, the only request is for an investigation. If you don't want to fight and run, it might be possible for me.

"Mr. Village Chief, I'll take that request!

"Really! That helps!

Mr. Mayor, isn't it too soon to change?

I decided to head out to the torte forest as soon as possible. I've been there on another request before, but it was a forest that I'd never taken apart and changed, so if there was any anomaly, you'd know right away.

"I'm going to the woods, but don't worry," I asked the village chief for a message. This is just my request. I'll find out what caused it and report it. In some cases, you just have to make a new request. That'll get him a request, too.

I went into the woods. Yeah, this is obviously an anomaly. It is growing more than when the plants came before. And the shades aren't normal. I can tell it's poison just by looking at it. What do we do? Should we just report this? No, I can't say this is the cause. We have to find out what caused this.

That's what I thought. I'm going through the woods. I feel like I've had a lot of encounters with demons, but they're all on the run. Yeah, it looks like my getaway leg is still valid here.

There are many encounters with demons, but they are all plant demons. I don't even see one of the fangwolves. Including the forest anomaly, it feels like Fangwolf was kicked out of his residence because of the predominance of plant-based demons.

Seems like there's never too much fighting between demons.

Then I don't know what the reason for the predominance of plant-based demons is when they say. When the request is complete, I feel like I need to look that far.

Something tells me I'm getting deeper and deeper.

Oh, yeah. I think the leader of the Adventurer Party, who left before, said it. If you don't know the criteria for fulfilling the request properly, it's dangerous to even have to go beyond your share.

What about me now? Is this a good request for my abilities?... Definitely not. Head to a place where there are tons of demons that cannot be won alone and find out what caused it. I can't predict what the cause is, so I have to move around unplanned. It's in a more unusual state than it used to be, so I don't even have a slight plot of land.

There's no way you can complete this request on me right now, if you think calmly.

In the meantime, let's get out of this forest once. Obviously it's over my share. Let's report to this point and leave it to the village chief's discretion later...

Looks like I got a shock to my back and my consciousness is distant.

"Ha!"

My consciousness is back. I check my situation. Yeah, hanging naked by a tulu. Why is that?

No, if you look around, you're convinced of this situation, too. That's a man-eater. It's a B-rank demon. I've seen it in guild drawings. To me, no, I wouldn't even be able to defeat them at their party.

If you look to the side, Fangwolf is hanging as well. I guess I ate an unexpected blow to the man-eater's tulle. It said that maneaters kill and nourish whether they are demons or people. That's right. Your clothes are in the way to eat, aren't they? Well, they'll make you naked, won't they? I mean, obviously this is the source of this forest anomaly, isn't it?

"Wow, wow, wow, wow"

I can't. I pretended to be calm, but there was no way I could contain it. I am completely packed. I've had as many pinches as I've ever had, but thanks to my escape legs, I've managed.

Move your neck, your legs, wherever you can.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

What's happening to my legs now? Floating in the universe. I mean, you can't run away.

I'm desperate.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

I don't want to die. Run around with that one heart. If I'm lucky enough to loosen the tulle, I can still get away with it.

"Somebody help me!

Something caught my eye when I uttered the word. It fits.

I will never help. Because what I'm aiming for is a righteous ally. Saving a pinch of righteous allies is not an irrelevant righteous ally. Just my people. And I don't have company right now.

The justice in me made a noise and collapsed. To justice that doesn't help me now, what's it worth? Justice, that stuff, if you die, it means nothing.

I guess I was depressed. The tentacles of the man-eater came towards me.
