Chapter 4-: To use the "strongest species"
( TL By GUST )
"Yes, I've substantiated. It looks like you've successfully passed the exam. Now, Shroud is an adventurer from today. Congratulations."
I returned to the Adventurer's Guild and submitted a Goblin Magic Stone.
This is the end of the test.
I'm one of the adventurers now.
"Please take it"
Get something like a card from the receptionist.
"This is?"
"It's an adventurer card. It's like an adventurer's ID card. Having this is an adventurer's proof, so be careful not to lose it. Reissue It is possible, but it will take about a week. Also, if you intentionally lose it or use it for sale, it will not be reissued and you will be disqualified on the spot. "
…… Beginning with such an explanation, he gave a lecture on his attitude as an adventurer.
"Finally, this is the reward for 10 goblin magic stones."
I receive 50 bronze coins.
"Can I get paid even though it's an exam?"
"Yes, of course. It was earned by Mr Shroud. I will not imitate it by stealing it."
"It will help thank you"
It's a F-rank monster, so the reward is like a sparrow's tears ...
Still, it's better than nothing.
"I want to get a request right away ..."
"Yes, please select your favourite injunction from that bulletin board. However, Mr Shroud has just become an adventurer ... In other words, since he is F-rank, the requests that can be received are limited. Please note that"
We don't suddenly leave a high-difficulty request to a novice adventurer.
If you do that, the request will be visibly unsuccessful, and the adventurer himself will be in danger.
I understand that, so I have no particular objection.
"I kept you waiting"
"Welcome back ~ ♪"
I Leave the counter and return to Kanade, where you have been waiting.
"Hey, did you become an adventurer?"
"Oh, I got used to it."
"Well, congratulations ♪ I believed that Rain could definitely be."
"I'm going to get a request right away, but is Kanade okay?"
"Yeah, no problem. Let's go!"
In front of the bulletin board where the request form is affixed so that it can be pulled by a cheerful Kanade ...
"Oh, this is rare"
... When I was about to move, a big man cut in front of us to block the aisle.
"Maybe I thought it was a real cat spirit, isn't it?"
"... you want us for something?"
"I've never seen a cat spirit tribe. There may be something good about this one."
Ignoring these words, the man turns his gaze toward Kanade.
...... I don't like it.
Kanade seems to be uncomfortable and frowns.
"What did you come to in such a place?"
"I can't answer you."
"Hey, it's a cheeky beast ... Hey, that brother."
"Do you mean me?"
"Who is there other than you? What happened to her cat spirit tribe?"
I have no obligation or duty to answer this man's question, but if I do the same thing as Kanade, I might be in a bad mood.
I decided to answer honestly.
"I met her in a swamp in the back of the plain. Then ... well, there are so many things so working from now on together."
"Swamp? There should be a killer tiger there now ..."
"I vetoed that cat."
Should I call the killer tiger a cat?
"I see. For the cat spirits, it's like a killer tiger cat. Haha, it's funny, you. I like it."
"I don't want you to like it."
"Don't say that you can't get it. Let's drink together? I'll treat you."
"No! It doesn't look like it's fun to be with you."
"Isn't it better than being with such a dull kid?"
"Come on! Don't make a fool of my husband, Rein has tamed me."
"What? Tame?"
"I'm a Beast Tamer"
I thought that this was a place that had to be made clear, so I said it was clear.
The man looks at his eyes ...
Then laugh with a vulgar voice.
"Hahaha! Is this kid a beast tamer? That's okay, did you use the cat spirits? Don't say stupid things, that's not possible. The cat spirits are the strongest species. You can't be tamed by such a kid, right? "
"That's because your eyes are cloudy, isn't it? Rain is a great beast tamer. It's many times stronger than you."
"Hmm ... Is this kid many times stronger than me?"
Dangerous colours dwell in the eyes of men.
"Then, why don't you try to compete? With me and this kid ... Yeah, let's do arm wrestling. If you're a beast tamer who can use the cat spirits, wouldn't I be your opponent?"
"Of course, Rain is second to none!"
"Hey, don't talk about it."
"If I lose, I'll be a dogeza and I'll do anything, but when I win, you're mine."
"Okay, I received that game!"
"That's why I'm talking about ... no, I haven't heard at all."
Kanade is desperate to scatter sparks and does not look back.
Do you play against this man?
Arm wrestling with a man whose arms are likely to be twice as thick as mine?
It's a ridiculous story.
I have to stop early ...
"Then, let's get started. Hey, I'll rent a table there."
"Rein, you can make it a tight-fitting bread!"
The story had advanced to the point where it couldn't be stopped anymore.
What should I do ...?
The man who saw my embarrassment smiled nastily.
"Hey, your husband doesn't seem to be motivated? Are you scared? If you bow your head, you will lose the battle. Well, I'll get the cat spirits there."
"..."
It doesn't matter if I get hurt or not ...
It's different when it comes to Kanade.
There is no way I can leave Kanade to such a man.
"Let's do it"
"Well, I think he was a little courageous. Or was it just burnt?"
As the man said, it was half burnt.
It can be said that I am just stubborn.
But ...
It's impossible to do nothing when Kanade is about to be taken away.
I will do whatever I can.
That's it.
Joining hands with the man and putting my elbows on the table.
"You have a thin hand? Don't complain if it breaks."
"..."
"Hey, can't you make a voice?"
"I'll start with the good. Is it just a mouth and its muscles are a decoration?"
"Hey ... it's okay. I'll do my best without any adjustment."
The adventurers around me look at me with fun eyes.
Some were betting.
I'm a big problem in a big problem.
The adventurer of the other party seems to be known for his power, and it can't be helped considering that.
But ... look.
Even so, I've been to a brave party.
I'll let you blow a bubble!
"I will give you a signal. Is that okay?"
I and the man nod at the same time.
"Ready ... Go!"
...... The game was a moment.
I challenge him with all my strength ...
Without feeling much resistance, he pushes the man's arm off and slams his palm on the table.
"Gee ... Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It seems that his arm is broken.
The man holds his broken arm and suffers in agony.
Seeing such a man, I tilted my head.
"……why?"
I don't think there was anything I could win for a man wearing muscular armour...
For some reason, I won overwhelmingly.
I do not understand.
"Winner, Rain!"
A sullen Kanade called my name high.
"As expected, Rain ♪ Such a man is not an eye."
"No, I'm surprised ... I can't have that power ..."
"What are you talking about? Rain is right now? Because I'm sharing my power."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, maybe Rain has only contracted with ordinary animals? It's the first time I've contracted with the strongest species, like me."
"That's right. At best, it's like a conventional bear."
"Well, I don't know. Well, if we make a contract with the strongest species, we can get power according to the ability of the individual. We, the cat spirits, are strong. , Rain's power has been strengthened accordingly. "
"Seriously?"
"Seriously ♪"
I mean, I've gained the same physical strength as a cat spirit ...
It's an outrageous story.
If you are told that you are dreaming, you can easily believe it.
"I'm glad I followed Rain. I was so happy to protect me."
"No, well ... is that natural?"
"Ehehe ♪ Thank you, Rain"
I'm still stunned because my intuition can't keep up with reality ...
For the time being, I was able to safeguard Kanade.
Now let's do that.
