Book 10: Chapter 18: E-rank Commision, and Everyone’s Respective Thoughts
We finally defeated the slime and became E-rank adventurers.
Just like before, we continued doing unpopular commissions even after being promoted.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
Were accumulating guild points, and everyone in the Ernol family becomes stronger day by day.
There were commissions that would take a few days to accomplish, so there were times when we had to spend a lot of time outdoors. We could have opted to go home via teleportation, but we didnt.
Thats because I wanted everyone to experience camping and other stuff that normal adventurers did.
There had been a few who opposed sleeping on the ground, but it was fun watching the stars with everyone before sleeping. I believed it would be a great experience for them.
We also took turns keeping watch.
I was awake all night long, so I kept guard while conversing with them one on one when they woke up in turns.
We were outdoors, so there was a sense of liberation.
And come night
The mood was different than usual, so I got to hear the thoughts and feelings that they normally didnt express.
Tina reminisced the days when she and I camped outdoors like this back when I was still the Guardian Hero. Back then, we slept outdoors with our life on the line, but Tina and I were together, so I did my best.
Leaffa opened up that she wanted to have a child soon. She was adorable as she turned beet red while making that request.
Youko wrapped me with her tails while telling me that shes glad she formed a contract with me. She didnt go berserk, and she even got to live with Kikyou, her mom, so she was over the moon.
I conjured a flame on my palm and played with Mai for a bit. Its dangerous playing with fire at night, but that made it extra exciting.
Mei said that she was really happy that she and Mai formed contracts with me. I thought it was Mai that wanted to stick to Mei at all times, but I learned that Meis desire to be with Mai was also very strong.
Ryuka and I talked about a lot of things concerning [Resurrection]. I consulted her since I also wanted to use magic that could repair anything as long as it had mana flowing in it, but she told me that it was a specialty magic that belonged to the Dragons Shrine Maiden.
Merdie let me massaged her palms. It had been a while since I enjoyed those paw pads. I made her feel great, so there shouldnt be any problem, right?
The two of us would visit Vestiers dungeon from time to time. Recently, we opened it so that normal adventurers could also challenge it, and it was doing quite well.
Kikyou told me about Youkos father. A human male saved her when she was injured in the past, and he had a similar air to me.
It was 200 years ago, so that guy was already dead. Kikyou didnt know where his grave was since she had been sealed by Youko.
Next was Luke and Lielle. Both of them started to flirt with each other halfway through, even though I was still there.
When it was time to switch turns, Lielle went back to me on her own. She said, Luke has been complaining that Halt doesnt give him the time of the day recently. Please hang out with him from time to time, okay?. Alright, Luke and I should go out and have fun looking for food stalls selling weird stuff with just the two of us.
Ryuushin and Hinata consulted me about wedding stuff. I see, so theyve been thinking about getting hitched. I wanted them to be happy by all means. I would support them with all I could.
The greatest obstacle to their marriage was Cucuruka, Ryuushins mom. Well, Ryuushins love was the real deal, so I think theyd manage.
Do your best, Ryuushin.
The slimes girls were fast asleep, so they werent included in the rotation.
The last one to come was
Good evening, Halt.
Good evening, Luna ah, but its already almost dawn.
The sky was getting light.
Its been a while since we got to talk with only the two of us.
Yeah, youre right.
We both sat on the ground and watched the sun rise. Luina leaned her head on my shoulder.
HaltHave you ever thought about going back to our former world?
Luna said that, and she sounded really lonely.
