Starting today, we will board another carriage and head for the Eastern Margravate over the next two days. The passengers changed, and onboard with us are a beastman couple and an elderly human couple.
“Oh, the cat little girl is with us huh.”
“Nice to meet you, Uncle!”
The beastman couple is a dog beast man and a rabbit beastwoman. They are adventurer like us, and one rank above us, they are D-rank.
“Fofofo, this time there are a lot of adventurers with us huh. It looks like it’s going to be a safe trip.”
“That’s right, old man.”
On the other hand, an elderly human couple is a retired merchant, and this time, they are going to the Eastern Margravate for the cherry blossom viewing festival. Both will spend a few days on the border of the Eastern Margravate before heading to the central area.
I guess we’ll meet somewhere there as we have similar destination.
And the fact that Shiro is actively talking to them means that all the passengers this time seem to be good people.
“Oh, little girl, you’re a goblin hunter huh. That’s amazing.”
“But Uncle is higher in rank, right?”
“Those who have the title of Hunter are seen above their actual rank. Goblin Hunters are often considered C-rank or higher.”
“Really!?”
Shiro and Ao were having a lot of adventurer talk with the dog beastman uncle.
I’ve heard about titles, but I didn’t know about specific ranks. That said, we’ve only just risen to E-rank, so I’m not going to accept high-rank requests just yet.
“You are also a healer, right?”
“Yes, but I’m a beastman so I don’t have a lot of magical power.”
“Until recently, I also had a hard time using my magical powers properly. I’m still training even now.”
Sue is also having a friendly conversation with the wife, the rabbit beastwoman, who is a healer like her.
However, his wife is amazing. What’s amazing is that her figure is very outstanding. Even though she is wearing the same magician clothes as Sue, her chest is very plump.
“Oh, I see. There were rumors that hamburger steaks were a new dish, so you invented them huh.”
“That’s a great dish. Even old people like us can enjoy eating meat now.”
“It’s a simple dish though. However I’m glad that it’s been well received.”
As for me, I was talking about cooking with the elderly couple. It seems that hamburger steak is gradually spreading, and this elderly couple seems to have eaten it. That dish hasn’t become popular throughout the Southern Margravate though. And yet they’ve already tried them huh. Perhaps they’re high-ranking members of the company.
“Oh, it’s a wild boar!”
“Alright, leave it to me. I have to show a little bit of dignity as your senior.”
As we traveled along the road through the forest, a wild boar emerged from the forest. Somehow, this wild boar is full of enthusiasm.
“Youngsters. It must be hard being that hot-blooded.”
“Whoa! That’s big sword!”
The husband, the dog beastman, carries a large greatsword. I secretly looked it up by appraisal, it is called the Bastard Sword.
He jumps out of the carriage and taunts the wild boar.
“Bumo!”
“Here goes.”
After he dodged the charging wild boar, he flashed his sword as they passed each other. In the blink of an eye, he cut the boar’s neck, and with a thud, the boar fell helplessly on the ground.
“Oh, Uncle is amazing!”
“Hahaha, this is a piece of cake.”
Shiro and Ao are very excited to see his swordsmanship. No matter how I look at it, it seems that he is more than D-rank.
“Hmm, indeed. That was a brilliant swordsmanship with no wasted effort.”
“It’s amazing. He took down the wild boar with the smallest movement.”
“And he even cut the veins in the boar’s neck with precision.”
“Hohoh~, I didn’t know you guys could tell that much. You’re quite impressive.”
When Sue and I were talking about the uncle’s swordsmanship, the old man praised us.
Eh?
Wasn’t this person a merchant?
Why does he know so much about swords?
“Uncle, Ao asked if it’s okay for her to drain the blood on the boar.”
“Oh? Can you do that? That’s interesting…. let me see how slime drains blood then.”
In front of him and her wife, Shiro and Ao run towards the boar. Ao immediately begins to drain the blood of the wild boar.
Rustle. Rustle.
“Oh, it’s a wolf! This time, Shiro will kill it! Yaaa!”
“Hey! ….Oh, she is fast and strong.”
“That’s right. For a little girl, she’s stronger than you think.”
Apparently, the wolf came after smelling the blood of the wild boar. However, it just ended up as a target to prove Shiro’s strength. The poor four-headed wolf had its neck broken in the blink of an eye by Shiro’s kick.
“Ao-chan, please drain the blood of this wolf too.”
Shiro, who had been dragging the wolf’s paw towards Ao, asked Ao to drain its blood as well. Ao, who had already finished draining the boar’s blood, began to drain the wolf’s blood, as if to say, “Leave it to me”.
“Hohoh~, she’s a pretty strong little girl. This is going to be a fun journey.”
“Yes, indeed.”
Shiro’s strength made the elderly couple smile.
Certainly, with all these strong companions, they will be safe on the road and can even watch spectacular battles firsthand.
Well, I guess that would be more enjoyable than watching a bad fight.
By the way, Shiro, Ao and Sue have also become much closer, or rather, they have become more intimate in the way they called their names. But for some reason, the way they called me did not change though.
