Chapter 78: Looming EvilIn the training center of the Adventurers Guild, an intense battle unfolded, and us falling down and crawling on the ground who knows how many times.
The battle training was arranged to be for the duration of winter, but for some reason, it continues even in spring.
「Haa, haa, haa, wh-y is, training, still, ongoing?」
As always, Barack-san smiled and laughed at the question I rolled out well.
「That’s cuz I’m boー, no, we’ve already trained this much, won’t it be a waste to stop now?」
「Haa, j, just now, you were about to say “bored”, weren’t you?」
After coming back from Volton, we received our reward for the subjugation of thieves, but Barack-san told us to hurry up rising to B rank. I was told that I, who had tamed the familiars known as Kaede and Tsubaki, being a C rank was a rank fraud. At that time, I was coerced into the continuing the battle training. Sophia and the girls were eager to, so refusing was difficult, and so, here I am, working hard everyday.
As it is now spring, adventurers are coming back to Volton, so adventurers apart from us could now be seen here and there at the training center.
「Oy, that person in a mock battle with Strong Arm Barack is the mage brat that came to Volton last spring, ain’t it?」
「Yeah, there’s no mistaking it with that silver hair.」
「Wait, ain’t that weird? How is he able to have a mock battle with Strong Arm Barack?」
「No no no, what’s with the movement of that female knight slave?」
「Hey, they increased by one.」
Adventurers make a racket every time they watch our training, but we were involved less than before. It’s hard to say that it doesn’t happen though.
「Switching topics, Hans said to hurry up and think of a name for your party and submit it.」
「A party name?...... like Heath-san’s party is the 『Lion’s Fang』, right?」
「Yeah, all your rankings are rising, and even your party rank is D rank, ain’t it? As expected, it would be awkward if you’re forever nameless.」
A party name, huh. It never occurred to me, but what should we do?
「I’ll discuss it with Sophia and the girls.」Alll latest novels on novelbin/(.)com
「A’ight. Tell Hans when you’ve decided.」
「Understood.」
「A name for the party?」
「Right, Barack-san told me to. It seems that once we decide, we need to tell Hans-san and register.」
Returning from the Adventurers Guild, we discussed what Barack-san said about our party name.
「Now that you mention it, Heath-san’s party was the 『Lion’s Fang』, was it not?」
「It’s difficult now that I’m thinking about it.」
Sophia and Maria gave it some thought too.
A name like 『Lion’s Fang』 doesn’t suit us. In the first place, our activities as adventurers are a pretext for gathering materials.
「 How does『Takumi-sama and his servants』 sound?」
「No, just what is that.」
