After finishing a round of hunting in the forest, we entered Baileys city through the south gate. In the forest, we were surrounded by 3 Hellhounds so Donny-san, Yurina-san and the blue wolves, we all worked together to defeat those Hellhounds.The combo of Round Slash and Shield Bash worked exceptionally well when we were surrounded by multiple enemies. Also, the compatibility between me acting as the vanguard and Yurina-san attacking with her slingshot from the back was simply excellent.
Anyway, the goal of today’s hunting was to raise Yurina-san’s class so we could gain enough social status to pass the neighboring country’s checkpoint with ease. If an adventurer was recognized as Iron Class, they could pass the checkpoint easily. By the way, Donny-san was a Silver Class while I was a Noble Iron Class so there wasn’t any need for us to raise our class even further.
We were now at the adventurers’ guild and after submitting 3 Hellhound’s Claw as a proof of subjugation, Yurina-san’s adventurers’ guild card changed from Copper Class to Iron Class.
“Yurina-san! You did well! Great job!”
I told her that and she hugged me tight with a smile on her face. She seemed really happy.
“With this, we can bid this country goodbye.”
There was no need to overstay our welcome in a crowded place. After we finished processing the payment for subjugating the monsters, we immediately left through the east gate. The sun was already setting in the sky at the west.
“Now then, let’s hurry up. We need to leave Lancaster Kingdom and go to Keel Kingdom. Time is of the essence.”
Yurina-san and Donny-san nodded.
Next, we need to…
“Horsies, from now on, we will need to work you guys a little bit harder…. Burning Muscle!! Stone Skin!!”
Red and earth colored magic power surrounded our beloved horses. With this, their strength and sturdiness became elevated and they would be less likely to get stuck in the muddy snow. By the way, it went without saying that even though I used Burning Muscle, I didn’t flex that weird pose and used that weird voice either.
……The fact that Donny-san had caught up with us meant that Heinrich’s troops could catch up with us at any moment.
