58 Herald Episode 2 Adventurer Claude's Adventures (4/5)

"No, I've got a lot to ask, because it's the manners of adventurers who don't listen in their hands. Awesome. I'm grinding right now"

"Well, I can't even ask you to answer that."

"Oh, yeah."

I heard a lot about Kuga on the carriage home, but there's very little we can answer. I'm comfortable with the adventurer's manners because he doesn't need to reveal anything in his hand.

Bright Falcon and Metal Turtle's bodies managed to fit in 'Storage (Storage)'. I moved the extra stuff to other members and it was finally there.

I heard voices from the outside as I ran for the King's Capital for a while.

"Help!

Apparently it's a scream. I panicked and looked outside, and the girl on the horse is being chased by a bunch of fangwolves. If you look at it, the horse is injured, is not speeding, and is likely to catch up within it.

A short distance away, the carriage had stopped, and several adventure-like people were fighting a flock of fangwolves.

"I'll go after the girl. Everybody, the carriage, please. Mr. Kuga, please wait in the carriage."

"Whoa, leave it to me!

Knott replies forcefully. Other members are nodding as well.

"Are you sure? You want me to go to the carriage?

"I'm still in the middle of a request. It's convenient for us to help them here."

Mr. Kuga doesn't seem to have a problem helping either, but he's still an examiner now. I don't think we should get our hands on anything that has nothing to do with the exam.

The girl is on a horse, so I should be in charge of the shrinkage. Sicily was supposed to follow me because of my assistance. [M] And the other members head toward the carriage.

"I'll go first."

I'll catch up with you later.

Put a word in Sicily and head ahead. Sicily is quiet, but it's not too late to move in battle. Not as fast as Coco, but he's quicker within his people...

"I guess it's critical..."

From what I've seen, the horse is going to be caught up by Fangwolf in a little while. Since the successful shrinkage earlier in the earthen field, the success rate has increased visibly. Definitely faster than running normally, but I fail the Shrinkage Method once every few times, so it's a critical point to see if I can make it.

Running with that in mind, Fangwolf finally jumped on the horse.

"Aah!"

A horse breaks down his attitude and a girl is thrown out into the air. It's gaining a lot of momentum, so if you keep crashing into the ground, you won't just be sorry.

I can't fail anymore. Now that I'm more focused than ever, I activate the shrinkage method continuously.

"Between... yes, yes."

Having succeeded five times in a row, I manage to take the girl thrown out.

"Hmm......, are you okay? Are you hurt?

"Hii, what, ah...?

Still, a girl who doesn't understand the current situation makes her gaze wander around.

"Ah..."

You lost your mind. The body of a girl suddenly weakened. The girl's clothes are getting wet. I guess I lost my strength and leaked it. Well, that's common, isn't it? We can't stand it when we deal with your husband either...

"'Clean (Clean)'"

I'll give you the magic we used to take care of, too. How come if the girl's face does it, it's red?

"Can you stand? I will defeat Fangwolf like this."

"Huh?"

Fangwolf suddenly showed up. He hasn't attacked me with vigilance, but he's slowly narrowing the siege, so I can't afford much.

Put the girl down to the ground. I don't think I can stand like this because I haven't stepped on my foot. I take the handkerchief out of my chest pocket and lay it on the ground, supporting the girl with one arm. Keep the girl sitting on the handkerchief.

"Please sit there. It's okay, I'll never let you near it."

"Yes..."

Take the sword and shield out of storage. Fangwolf jumps at me as if I've been waiting for this one to be ready. The number is roughly 20. It is not difficult for me to defeat you now. [M] But while protecting someone, it can be difficult inside.

But my job is to protect it. You won't be able to protect your people to a guy who can't protect a single girl from this much opponent.

"Ha!

Take the flying fangwolf with your shield and keep playing. Fangwolf, who avoids me and turns to the girl, won't let me eat the kick and come near him.

"One!

The timing was right, so I was able to cut one down first. If you step too deep, you go to the girl, so make it only a protective subject and attack only when you can afford it.

"Ugh!

Let Fangwolf eat the shield attack and bounce it off. But more and more individuals are slowly approaching. It will be only a matter of time before it breaks through if it stays this way. But I'm not worried about anything.

"Thank you for waiting."

I have friends I can count on. I'm not alone.

The late approaching Sicily pokes her spear. That alone puts a few fangwolves together for a skewer.

"I'll protect you, I'll take care of the extermination!

I'll take care of it.

It wasn't long from there. The situation that I was barely antagonizing because one of us was moving in the defensive subject was easily collapsed by Sicily's participation in the war. As much as I could afford to participate in the attack.

"Can you stand? I'm going to head for the carriage..."

Speak to the girl who was sitting on the handkerchief after wiping out Fangwolf altogether. The girl had beautiful blue hair stretched out to her shoulders. His eyes were also dressed like jewels in beautiful blue and dresses. The years would be a little bit better than mine. Now I'm still making sure the girl looks good, maybe noble, or your husband's telling me not to get involved too much, or whatever. I was thinking.

"Ha, thank you so much for your help!

The girl has thanked me as I sat down. Apparently I can't stand yet.

"No, you don't have to worry about it."

Answer with a smile as much as possible. The girl's face turned red again, but what's wrong?

"What's wrong?

"Yes, no, I'm fine...... But it still seems impossible to stand..."

"Really? Now if you'll excuse me."

"Yikes!

That's what I say. I lift my hands on the girl's back and knees. The girl's face turns red more than ever.

"Oh, didn't you like it? I'm sorry. Sicily, can you take my place?

"Heh heh, I don't think that's necessary."

Sicily says, let it contain. When I look at the girl, she's snorting in a red face.

"You want it to stay that way ~?"

"Yes..."

"I don't know, but if you don't have a problem with it, you're gonna keep going over there, right?

"Please…"

Sicily said she'd collect Fangwolf's body and then come after him, and me and the girl were supposed to head to the carriage first. Sicily was nibbling to the end for some reason, but what's the matter?

"Oh, that! I say Shelia. Could you tell me your name?

"I say Claude. I'm an adventurer."

"Dear Claude...... That's a nice name."

"I'm not a decent person to be approached, Mr. Shelia."

If your husband didn't pick it up by chance, it's no wonder he's dead. He's just a slave, so when he's attached to you, his body muzzles.

"Please call me Shelia. It is only natural to pay tribute to the benefactor of life. Let me call you Master Claude!

"Well, if that's what you really want to call it, I'm not saying it's impossible..."

"Yes! Master Claude!

Master Claude, it sounds like a decision. I was talking about that, and I approached the carriage.

Fangwolf's extermination was almost complete, and the body was recovered and the wounded were taken care of.

"Not again..."

"Well, this is Claude..."

I saw me holding Shelia. Knott and Adele blur. What's the matter with you? Sometimes they look at me with a bitter laugh like this. Was that when you helped the guild's receptionist sister before?

"Oh, my lady! Good job. You're safe!

My grandfather in armor, who was having Yulia perform restorative magic, suddenly stood up and spoke to Shelia.

"Kid! How long are you going to hold the lady!

Grandpa yelling at me with an awesome sword screen. Trouble, if you can put it down, I'll put it down...

"Goot! This one is a benefactor to my life! What do you say!

"But..."

"Shelia, can I put it down?

"Kid, what do you mean, call the lady off?"

"Goot!"

My grandfather called me Goot has been staring at me a lot, but Shelia raised her voice, so I don't think she'll complain any more.

"Dear Claude, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be able to stand yet. Are you sure you want to stay like this for a while?

"Yeah, I don't mind."

"Grunt..."

Mr. Goot has a toothpick. The blood vessels are emerging, and are you okay?

By the way, having Shelia is not really a problem in itself. Shelia is so light, and if you keep fighting, you seem to have gained quite a bit of strength at some point.

"Again, my name is Shelia Hardner. We really appreciate your help in this dangerous situation."

Shelia pinches the hem of her dress with a gesture she's used to. Having completed the entire post-war process, I decided to ask him to provide an explanation of the situation. Sicily and Mr. Kuga are also here.

For the record, I was feeling terribly sorry for myself earlier when I brought Shelia down to the ground. What's the matter with you?

"So, how was Fangwolf attacking me in this place?

Knott asks casual questions. As a matter of course, Mr. Goot speaks up.

"Here..."

"Goot!"

……

Wrong. I tried to raise my voice, but Shelia was stopping me.

"To be precise, being attacked by Fangwolf wasn't an issue in itself."

"What do you mean?

Coco urges ahead.

"Yes. Before Fangwolf attacked me, I was attacked by Bright Falcon, an A-rank demon. That's when I..., the escort let us go at the expense, but some of the others were also wounded. I can't tell you how many fangwolves came to smell that blood..."

Yeah, you've got two words I care about. Shelia, you said knight for sure. I rushed back to saying escort, but you said knight. Nobility confirmed.

Later, Bright Falcon was definitely the guy we took down, wasn't he? If those things were all over the place, I wouldn't be able to do it, would I?

"There may still be Bright Falcon near here. I suggest you get out of here as soon as you can."

"Oh, we beat that Bright Falcon, didn't we?

"Huh?"

"What?"

Shelia and Mr. Goot as Pocan to explain Knott. The others look roughly the same.

"In the Adventurer's Rank Up Exam. I'm on my way home from crusade."

"Will Master Claude be A-ranked?

"No, we'll be B-ranked next time."

"Huh?"

"What?"

It took Shelia and the others a surprisingly long time to explain our situation. It may be more right that it took some time during the B-rank exam to make the adventurer believe in the existence of an adventurer who had almost completed the A-rank demon......

"Okay. I know enough to say I don't like how lucky we are."

"Mmm..."

Shelia and Mr. Goot seem to understand. Above all.

"It's time to ask, who are you? You're not a regular traveler, are you? I think you're at least noble? I mean, you said knight earlier. It's noble, or royal, to be able to use a knight as an escort. Since there is only one royalty in this country right now, could it be the nobility of this country, or the nobility or royalty of another country? From the angle of things, is the Union of Athens leading the way?

Illis is screwing it all up at once. I almost heard what we were concerned about.

"Uh, yes. As you can see, I am one of the Member States of the Union of Ato States. I am the twelfth princess of the Kingdom of Gashas. I came to this country to negotiate a deal."

The Union of Ato States is located east of Kastal, a country where several small countries have a comparable say over other powers by coming together as one Union. Shelia seems to say the princess of one of those countries. Um, I'm calling Shelia off...

"Ah, Master Claude. Shelia and I can call it off as it is...... You can treat them the way you've always treated them."

"Ma'am, I'll show you..."

"Goot!"

"Yes......"

"Besides, I'm the twelfth princess of a small country. We do not consider succession to the throne, and we have come to this country to negotiate deals, while dowry with the proper nobility, to strengthen the connection between nations..."

There is no such thing as this on the road......

"It's a thick favor, can't you ask me to escort you to the King's Capital? I will also pay you an honorarium…"

"I don't think you mind as far as I'm concerned..., Mr. Kuga, what do you say?

For once, I'm in the middle of a B-rank exam, so I guess I'll have to ask the examiner, Mr. Kuga.

"It doesn't matter. Well, I can't be a direct escort."

If I were to hire Mr. Kuga, the A-rank adventurer, I would need a good amount of money. Besides, the examiner should not be hired on his own during the exam, so it would be natural not to participate in the escort.

"Okay. Shelia, we will escort you to the king's capital."

"Regards,"

Shelia's face is red again.

"Oh, this is totally falling"

"Hey, you're right."

"That's really amazing. Now how many..."

"As far as Lolo knows, he's the fifth."

"Looks like Bacca......"

The girls look at Shelia like that and say things, but what are you talking about? Sometimes it's a little sad because you talk to me in confidence. [M]

Afterwards, we had a gratuity, or commission meeting, and then we left immediately.

It will be tomorrow on the Wang capital, so I decided to camp somewhat further that day.

"Why is camp food so good!?

At dinner, Shelia's screams echoed on Castar night. Princess, didn't you eat too good?
