Episode 11

I couldn't believe the unbelievable sight in front of me.

　We are the party of a well-known person.

　Everyone here is an A-class adventurer, Dan and Fianna could be promoted to S-class soon?

　At the request of the guild, we were conducting a survey of a special dangerous area called "Great Makai".

　The S-class adventurers were now on another request, so we got the task.

　Although it is good to be prepared and come here, but there is barely and data on the special danger but we do know that most of the monsters we could encounter here are C class or higher.

　And worst of all, we encountered a D-class monster, Goblin Elite. That, too.

　The Goblin Elite alone can be beaten without danger at our party.

　However, when it comes to the goblin elite swarm, the danger is much higher.

　A single unit is a D class, but a flock jumps to a B class or even to an A class.

　The body isn't that big, but there are a lot of very annoying entities that are very powerful.

　Then, Dan was beaten by a single goblin elite who had been out of sight, and then we met 'him' once we were in a state of desperation.

　Even though it is a special class danger zone, he was dress is very light with good quality shirts and black pants. He is holding a spear that has an overwhelming presence that makes it impossible to keep an eye on it, although it is not particularly decorated with ornate decorations as if a nobleman is relaxing.

　On this slightly longer end, the unusual jet-black hair flowed beautifully with the movement, and the eyes reminiscent of obsidian were sharp, staring at the enemy as if penetrating everything.

　We suddenly appeared, but his beauty was fascinating.

　Without joking, when we first saw him, we really thought he was a noble from somewhere around here.

　He instantly destroyed the Goblin Elite with overwhelming strength, and even helped the injured Dan with a mysterious liquid.

　At first glance, it seemed to be not a healing drug, and we were wary at first, but we decided that Luruna, who is good at things like recovery magic and analysis magic, was OK, so I tried using Dan as a result, the wound healed in a moment.

　We were surprised again at that, but I was relieved that Dan was saved for the time being.

　However, that looseness was not good.

　Suddenly, a monster attacked me.

　I was destracted and couldn't react to the monster.

　Stunningly looking at the sight, suddenly he was powerful, yet his arm was pulled by a gentle hand, and he was sheltered behind his usual example.

　I saw that the monster that attacked was Goblin General.

　Among the A-class monsters, they are as close as possible to the S-class, and their strength is extraordinary.

　We thought we couldn't do it this time, but we set up a weapon to do the final resistance, but the mysterious man once again surprised us.

　When he faced Goblin General alone.

　We thought it was unreasonable, and the party's tank, Glade, tried to tell him that he was going to get help, but his eyes were no on us.

　He defeated Goblin General. Moreover, there was no apparent damage.

　It was unreasonable.

　Noble appearance, that strength.

　He ended the battle as if nothing had happened and suggested to us.

"It's dangerous to stay here. My house is nearby, so let's head there."

　A house at this [Great Makai]?

　In the continuum of things that I do not understand, we decided to follow him with half confidence.

"Are you serious"

　Grade muttered so as to speak for all of us.

　There was certainly a fine house.

　There were fields in the garden, and this space was just like another world.

　We were invited into the house and moved to a chair stunned, so everyone sat down and took a break, but still didn't feel real.

　He sat in front of us and turned his surprisingly well-groomed face here.

***

　I was so nervous.

　It's was okay until they were invited to the house and sat down ... what can I do from here?

　I couldn't think of anything.

　Anyway, it seems that they are not bad people ...

　Do you introduce yourself first?

"I'm Yuu Tenjo. Can you tell me your name?"

　The stunned lightly-equipped woman turned to me and opened her mouth.

　In the form that follows, give the names one by one.

"Ah ... ah, sorry. I'm Shirdi."

"I'm grade. I'm the leader of this party."

"I'm Fianna"

"I'm Luruna."

"Dan. I was saved earlier, thank you."

　A woman with light equipment is Shirdi, a middle-aged man with heavy equipment is Grade, and a woman like a witch is Fianna.

　And a woman like Sister is Luruna, and the injured man is Dan.

　When I first heard the name, I asked one thing.

"Are you a member of any organization? You said a party ..."

"Hmm? Don't you know? We're working in a guild at a party called [Meiji Brigade]

"guild?"

　I learned in a school class ... Is it like a merchant union?

"That means you're a merchant."

"Well, no! Adventurers, we. You can see and see?"

"Bo, adventurer?"

　What? What is that mysterious occupation?

　When I'm seriously twisting my neck, Dan opens her mouth.

"Maybe you don't know the guild?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm ashamed ... because I've never been out of this forest ..."

"e!?"

　Everyone was very surprised at my words. Is that so? If you look at the lines alone, you're a recluse. Though it looks young. ... You are young?

"That .... How old are you, maybe an elf?"

"Eh? Elf? Uh ... I'm a normal human being and I'm 16 ..."

　That said, it's only recently turned 16. celebration? Not sure.

　When I replied, Shirdi again showed surprised expressions.

`` Wow, younger than us !? ''

"It looks the same age or older because of the atmosphere ..."

"I also thought he was over 20 years old ..."

　Overseas, it is a natural Japanese that can be seen as a baby face, but it seems that I was older. Am I really not old? You're young !? You're worried !?

"Anyway, I'm 16."

"Well ... well, you don't have to be so harsh, because it's like our lifesaver.

"No, but ..."

"Ah ... I'm better off because I'm so strong in my body ..."

"If you say so ... I understand."

　Grade and Shirdi told me that, and I stopped honorifics. I feel very subtle about honorifics in my older years.

"So, it's about adventurers and guilds .... Adventurers, as they say, are those who explore different areas."

"But adventures cost money, so register with a guild, an adventurer's organization, and ask a variety of people to take on chores and raise funds."

"It was one of those requests that we were in this forest."

"I thought it was just a survey request ... but the result is this mess."

　Listening to Dan's explanation, I was convinced.

　They came to this dangerous forest at the request of the guild.

"What do you guys do after this? Will the request fail as a result?"

"No, the request is just a survey. If nothing has changed, that's okay, and if you find a new discovery, you just report it, so if you are forced to survive, is it a success condition?"

"I see ... I mean, I'm being reported ...?"

　Hey, is that very troublesome?

　After all, wasn't it easy to bring in people ...?

　Grade smiled bitterly as she began to regret.

"I guess that's the way it should be ... because you helped me. As expected, I don't do such unreasonable things."

"That's right ..."

　There's nothing wrong with it, but it's a great help to get me back.

　When reassured, Fianna opened her mouth with a serious expression.

"Well, if you can't come back from here, you'll be together after all."

"Ah..."

　Glade has settled into Fianna's words.

　Well, it's fine to come this far, but does that mean I have to go back through that dangerous forest again?

　Apparently everyone except Fianna had forgotten about it and began to hold her head all together.

"What? Do you know the way home?"

"That's not true! Do you think we can return safely, thinking normally and dying before coming here?"

"Ah, right?"

　I had completely forgotten. I'm already nervous and excited, my thinking circuit is going crazy.

"Well then, will I take you to the forest entrance?"

"e?"

　When I make that suggestion, everyone has a stupid expression.

"I live here, and I'm also interested outside the forest."

　I'm not going to follow the Glades and go to the city, but I still want to see a little outside the forest. I want to go to town someday.

"Oh, it helps us ... is that OK?"

　Shirdi asks so, but I was just fine and above all ...

"When troubled, are we like each other?"

　I was brought up by my grandpa.

　Aside from everyone stunned by my words, I get ready.

　And we acted to get out of the forest.
