Chapter 515: Girls’ Party

Chapter 515: Girls’ Party

At the top of the pass, a group of three girls was being attacked by a Storm Wyvern. I thought they were adventurers, but that was not the case.

One of them was wearing full-body armor like a knight, not unlike that of an adventurer, and the equipment of the other two was oddly refined. To put it bluntly, they were overly decorated. They looked like nobles playing adventurer, huh?

「Lady Khanna! I’ll draw its attention! Please use that chance to escape!」

「...Kuh! Shella! Let’s go!」

「B-but, lady Dianne is...!」

「I’m just going to slow you down!」

A girl who looked to be in her early teens named Khanna seems to be the master. I don’t know if she was a noble or the daughter of a rich man, but she was trying to act without losing herself in fear in this scene. It seemed to be quite a spectacle.

A woman of about 20 years old named Shella was her squire, and Dianne, in her full body armor, was probably her guard.

It seems that Dianne was using herself as bait to try to let her master escape.

Dianne was trying to draw that Wyvern’s attention to her by making a rattling metallic sound with her armor.

W-well, let’s just help them.

『 Its attention is perfectly directed at that female knight. Let’s finish it off at once』

「Nn! Teleport above it!」

『Ou!』

「Urushi protects the girls!」

「Woof!」

Nevertheless, the Storm Wyvern was on the weaker side of the threat level D magic beasts. No, if it were only for its combat power and status, it would be in the threat level of E class. However, its flying ability is troublesome, so it was ranked D.

As long as we can get a hit to it, it wasn’t that strong of an opponent.

「Haaa!」

「Gyaaoooh――」

After the teleport, Fran instantly identified the location of its magic stone by detecting the flow of its magic power and thrust me into that spot. She pierced the magic stone that was located at the base of its neck, and the Storm Wyvern was easily defeated.

I stowed it away as soon as it died so as not to cause any damage to Dianne below, and then silence reigned as if the Wyvern had never been there in the first place.

「Eh?」

Maybe they have used the power leveling method to raise their levels, but it didn’t seem to be just that. Khanna was able to use fire magic and water magic, while Shella was able to use recovery magic.

And then there was Dianne, who had a decent level of skill. As I had expected, she wasn’t good enough to fight a flying Storm Wyvern, but she would be ranked D if she became an adventurer.

The three of them wouldn’t have any struggle with anything other than wyverns around here. If that was the case, there was no reason for us to stay with them any longer when we had unpleasant feelings for each other.

Shella and Dianne blatantly looked relieved as Fran tried to leave. However, their hopes were dashed by none other than their master, Khanna.

「P-please wait!」

「Nn?」

「If possible, can I hire you to be my escort!」

「Wha! Young lady! But this girl is an adventurer!」

「But you have seen how strong she was just now, didn’t you?」

「But adventurer is no different than a barbarian who only has money in their heads!」

What a horrible thing to say. No wonder that Fran’s mood dropped. And just like that, the master-servant argument continued in front of Fran.

「But if a magic beast of that level happens to show up again, will we be able to deal with it...?」

「Th-that is... No, I can do it! I will let my lady escape even if it would cost me my life!」

「No, don’t do that. I don’t want you to die, Dianne」

「Even though I look like this, I’m still a member of the glorious Order of the Red Banner! And I had prepared myself to die to protect you!」

What should we do... They have completely forgotten about Fran, aren’t they? She didn’t say that she will take the job in the first place.

『Should we leave them alone now?』

(Hmm――)

『Eh? Do you want to help these guys?』

「...Don’t want Khanna to die」

Apparently, she had a good feeling about Khanna, who was the same age as her and didn’t seem to make fun of adventurers, and was concerned about the safety of her servants. However, I was sure that she was angry with Dianne.

『What should we do then?)』

(...I’d be willing to be hired under certain conditions)

『Is that so?』

Well, we’ll just wait for these two girls to stop arguing for the time being.
