28 Episode 23 Sounds like an investigation.

Her right hand, which approached her, was grasped with a sword. It has a unique shape with an elongated and slightly warped single blade. According to Gram, it was a sword called "Katana".

It must have been because of the "Katana" that made the Inu-head (Kobolt) into two. Contrary to the way it looks, the sharpness seems certain.

She shaken the katana, covered it with blood, and put it in her sheath.

Is it because the movement is refined? I suddenly saw it.

"... do you have anything to say?

"No, thank you for your help."

I was a little embarrassed to say that I fell in love with the way I put my sword in, and I just got a weird face when I honestly praised it.

I mean, Silver Flash has the same eyes as before and doesn't have very good feelings for us.

"Have you stopped killing rats and switched to killing dogs?

"... I didn't say anything about killing rats or dogs."

"Yes, weak bullying is the same."

That's as bad a call as the last time. My cheeks were pulled when I was told directly from the front.

Don't get tantrums. I think I told you, when I sold the fight, I couldn't win even if I stood up. "

Gram's advice was to put a spear in his back sheath and (...) swallow it.

"I'm not bullying anything weak, I'm here on a formal request from the union. Besides, I'm not a rat killer, I got the name Yukina from my parents."

"Yukina, right. I'm not interested in the names of the weak."

Why has this woman been so stingy since I first met her? If I had a mediocre patience, I'd be killing each other by now.

"Were you happy with the" Silver Flash "of the Second Class Mercenary?

"You can call me whatever you want. Recently, silver flashes are more commonly called."

I swallowed the stutter, "How about that?" I don't want to say anything unnecessary to make her look bad. It feels like it's falling from the beginning.

"What are you doing here? There's nothing unusual about this place that's as smart as you."

Located near King's Landing, this forest is quite large, but it's more like a hunting ground for runaway mercenaries. There is only an evil beast (monster) that can be defeated without difficulty by Grade 5 mercenaries. There was no denying that the second-class adventurer had gone out of his way to visit.

"... my favor."

Silver flashes answered my question. [M] Apparently, he took on a job he didn't mean. A good mercenary seems to get a direct request from a union or individual, so it's probably because she's here.

"... you should leave it to a jungle mercenary like this... to investigate the woods where only these jungle fish come out."

Silver flashes begin to murmur as she looks down diagonally. Hey, can you hear me?

Survey...... hey

(Gram?)

I noticed the murmur. I saw the spear on my back.

"By the way, I've been worried about you for a long time."

Silver flashes, which should have been complaining, suddenly raised their faces.

"... eh, are you asking me?

"There will be no one here but me and you."

What a stupid face to say. Actually, there is another one ─ ─ but when you say it, it's just a "crazy person", so let's keep it quiet.

"Why are you using a spear as a minor weapon?

Buddy! She's selling me a fight! Buy him on sale!!

Calm down. What are you gonna do with yourself? I mean, even if I buy it, I'll end up dead. [M]

While I literally got Gram's wrath on my back, I answered scratching my head.

"I use it because I think it suits me."

"I hear every man in this country loves swords."

"Nobody else had a spear around me."

"... you know what? You have a bad reputation in the union. I like hunting all the big rats."

"Ah, I've been told something a little similar in my hometown. Is that what they say here?"

The sword and spear are overwhelmingly different. If two amateurs each fight with a sword and a spear, the spear wins in the case of a great man. The spear can attack from the outside rather than from the edge of the sword, because the sword cannot attack until it sneaks through the edge of the spear.

Legendary heroes are often portrayed as heroes who always carry swords and face any enemy bravely. People in the village have told me that using a spear is a coward who fights from a safe distance.

"Aren't you... sorry to hear that?

The mood of the silver flash was somehow diagonal.

I was a little confused about how to answer, but I'll be honest.

"It's troublesome to think of regrets like that."

Besides, it's no joke to change a partner who keeps his life because of popularity and reputation.

"... yes. I heard. I was an idiot."

That said, Silver Flash turned his back on me.

"I'm going. If you're in trouble here, it's going to get dark."

On the other hand, Silver Flash disappeared into the woods shaking his tail.

... I'm going to beat the crap out of my heart that you're the one who's been shaking my story.

After a while, I completely lost sight of Silver Flash, and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I wonder what it was."

"You're not a mercenary, you're a martial arts artist."

"What's that?

Gram's new words and knowledge make sense.

"Unlike mercenaries who use their arms to earn money, they find meaning in polishing their arms. This man hates being humiliated more than anything."

"... it's the opposite of me, right?

"A partner who's completely through slander is just water and oil. That fox's daughter must have been intrigued by her partner."

Ah, is that why you're involved?

Remember how frustrated I was that you left me to be a fool rather than using a spear? I suppose you're hunting all the big rats.

"... I don't think the roots are bad."

"Hey, where was that part of the conversation?"

"I mean, look. You helped me when the Kobolt attacked me from behind."

"I think it's a hopeful observation."

Anyway, it's time for me to resume my share. I've been hunting Big Rats since I went into the woods today.

"I have to finish by the end of the day, but at least I want to hunt one or two of them ─ ─"

"That's the thing, buddy. For today, if we're going through the woods a little further, we'll cut it up early."

What's the matter, Gram? Suddenly.

"My worries are fine. Anyway, if nothing comes out after about an hour, pull it up. Please."

"... okay."

I nodded deeply at the serious state of Gram. The reason for this is that the weights contained in the words were merely extrapolated.
