“……?”

Midnight.

While the merchants were completely asleep, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and she straightened her back. She is Lill, a beautiful beast woman. However, her true identity is a Fenrir, a mythical monster. Even though she is in human form, she has excellent five senses, and if a suspicious person approaches, she will be the first to detect it.

However, neither her ears nor her nose could discern the true nature of the strange sensation. Only a mysterious sense of unease is ringing alarm bells for her. The two girls in the immediate vicinity, Fana and Anje, don’t seem to notice anything either. On the contrary, they had been sleeping quietly while sitting down.

And before she knew it, the figure of her Master had disappeared. She can smell his body odor, so he should be nearby, but…….

“……!”

A presence suddenly appeared.

Several of them appeared on top of the luggage they are protecting. The moon and stars were barely visible, but Lill, who had a keen eye for the night, could clearly see them.

They are human men.

They are holding a knife in their hands and cuts the ropes that bind the luggage one by one so that it does not fall out of the cart. On the other hand, they don’t seem to notice her yet.

“I won’t let you!”

“Eh!? Guaah-”

Leaping quickly, Lill kicked one of the men away.

“I-impossible…. We’ve been found out already!?”

“Hey, hurry up and take us back……!”

“I’m not going to let you go!”

Sensing the men’s intention to escape, Lill shouted. But the next moment, something unexpected befell her.

“Huh? ……My body.”

Suddenly, her body floated in the air. She’s not the only one. The men, and the luggage that had been pulled away from the cart, were soaring into the night sky all at once.

“W-what’s going on……?”

Just when she was shocked, she was suddenly exposed to a strong light making her involuntarily close her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a room illuminated by bright lights.

“Here is….”

The group of men shouted seeing the confused Lill.

“She was somehow brought with us!? She’s probably one of those adventurers guarding the luggage. What are you going to do!?”

“Don’t worry, it’s just a woman.”

“And if you look closely, she’s a fine looking one. She could be sold for a high price.”

Basking in the contemptuous gaze on her body, Lill snorts,

“To be honest, I don’t really understand the situation at first, but it seems like there are only weak people here.”

“Fuhahaha, it’s no use acting tough you know.”

“Hey, since it already came to this, why don’t we play a little bi- Gyaaaaah!?”

One of the men was blown away. Lill closed their distance in an instant and punched him away.

“Wha-!?”

“W-when did she move!?”

Apparently, they couldn’t see her movements at all. The men begin to panic at the sight of the beautiful beastman who seems to have teleported.

“This woman isn’t your average adventurer…… woo-!”

“What are we going to do!?”

“D-don’t worry. We have this one here in case something like this happens!”

At that moment, one of the men threw something at Lill. It’s a spherical object she had never seen before. Immediately afterwards, just when it seemed to burst, countless chains flew out. They moved on their own like tentacles and they quickly wrapped around Lill’s entire body.

“……W-what is this? It won’t tear….?”

She tried to tear it apart by force, but it wasn’t that easy.

“Hyahaha, that’s no use. It’s impossible to get out of it!”

“Kuu…… This thing……!”

Still, Lill didn’t give up and tries to destroy the chains with all her strength.

Creak, Creak, Creak, Creak!

“……H-hey, isn’t there a weird noise?”

“It won’t get broken right? T-this woman surprisingly has incredible strength!”

“……It should be fine.”

Creak, Creak, Creak, Creak!

“No, no matter how you look at it, it’s not okay you know!”

“We have no choice then! Get rid of her before it gets destroyed!”

“Hmm…… I’m almost out of it.”

Just when Lill began to think that she would have no choice but to return to her original form, one of the luggage began to move on its own. The next moment, the luggage pops open and a small shadow jumps out from inside.

“Ta~~~~da! Here comes a cute baby~~!”

“Are you sure it’s going to be okay to have a party full of young women like this escort us?”

That’s the question voiced by the leader of the caravan that we are going to accompany as an escort this time. He is an middle-aged man in his mid-forties.

“I’ve heard from the Adventurer’s Guild that they’re going to send the best party….…”

“There’s no need to worry.”

Anje declared confidently.

“That assessment is correct, think of it like you are on board a big ship.”

“……T-then, I have to take your word for it.”

Then the merchants told us about their current plight. They buy goods from the Adventurer’s Guild and then sell them to various places. So, if a thief steals their goods along the way, it’s a big loss.

“No, right now, it’s really a business at a loss, and if it continues like this, we will go out of business.”

Because of the thieves, it seems that they have recently refrained from doing business in the direction of the Royal Capital. And if the merchants don’t buy goods, the guild will naturally suffer.

“Normally, there are almost no thieves on this road, after all, it is the main road that connects Vegaltia, which is said to be a sacred place for adventurers, to the Royal Capital. Misbehaving here is like selling a fight to the Adventurer’s Guild or the Royal Capital. The thieves were supposed to be caught right away in this case.”

However, the bandits who have recently appeared on this road show no signs of being caught.

“Actually, I was once attacked by them, but it was only in an instant. There were five B-rank adventurers then, but when they noticed, the luggage was gone. It was the middle of the night and I was fast a asleep. The commotion woke me up, but by that time, the perpetrators were gone.”

What the receptionist said and the testimony of this Ossan said matched.

“It’s just a matter of being careful at night.”

“Hmm. It’s hard to stay awake.”

“……You’re not very good at it so I think you’d better go to bed now.”

“I will.”

Then the caravan departed.

We are positioned in the corner of the horse-drawn cart to keep an eye on the goods at all times. It was quite a small space, but Fana didn’t care and lay down and immediately began to fall asleep.

“I’m bored so I’m going to sleep too. If something happens, wake me up.”

I crawl into Fana’s chest.

“Leave it to me. I have a much better ear and nose than humans. If a suspicious person approaches, even if I am sleeping, I will know immediately.”

Lill proudly undertakes the job.

Mmm, very reliable.

The day went smoothly without incident, and eventually, the sun went down. A group of merchants stop along an empty road.

“We’ll be here for today.”

Apparently, we are going to camp here tonight. Merchants set up tents in a skillful manner. All the goods were gathered in the center with the cart, and tents were arranged around it. Ropes are stretched between the tents to prevent people from passing through, and devices are installed that make a sound when touched.

“We didn’t hear a sound when they come last time…… Well, I guess you could say this is just a temporary relief.”

Our party and the guards are staying very close to the luggage.

“I’m sorry, but I want you guys to keep an eye on it all night…… Well, I don’t think it’s likely that he’ll show up on the first night though.”

So, even after the merchants had gone to bed, we continued to monitor the luggage.

“Shouldn’t you have put up a barrier in the first place?”

“You’re right. But since we’re here, I’d like to see how they steal it.”

As Anje said, if I deploy a barrier to protect the entire luggage, it will be impossible for them to get their hands on it in the first place. But that’s not fun then.

“Master, how do you think the thieves are robbing the luggage?”

“Well, there are a few ways I can think of…… But in any case, with the magic of this era, I don’t think it’s possible to steal the luggage as skillfully as they had said.”

“You mean….”

“Well, we’ll find out soon…… It’s just my intuition.”

My intuition is right.

The practical exam is over, and Lill has returned from the dungeon.

“Apparently, I passed.”

“Good. Then let’s go get your guild card.”

When I asked about the exam, I was told that the content of the practical exam was to defeat the Floor Boss on the third level of the dungeon. In addition, it seems that it was a high-ranking species of kobold called Elder Kobold.

“Sadly, as soon as it saw me, it tried to run away, but I chased after it and killed it.”

“.…..The Floor Boss tried to escape?”

“I’m hearing such scenario for the first time.”

Anje and Fana are surprised.

Then Lindwurm said,

『Kobolds are dog-like monsters, and even though she is in human form, they instinctively knew that she is a dangerous being. To be honest, it didn’t turn out to be a proper practical exam, did it?』

As he pointed out, only Lill passed, and the other examinees had to retake the exam.

(Ayaya, I feel bad for the other applicants then.)

『Master, you are also the only one who passed during your exam.』

(That was unavoidable, so it can’t be helped.)

When we went to the window and told them about it, the receptionist exclaimed,

“Eh? Is this really true? Are you not mistaken?”

 After checking with other staff members many times, she eventually issued Lill’s guild card.

“Suddenly, a B-ranked huh.”

“…..Un, I’ll definitely want to check it over and over again.”

“Mmm, usually it should start from E-rank.”

If you have a good track record, you may start from D or C rank, but rookies basically start from E rank.

“Master, is this amazing?”

“It’s amazing because it’s the same as me.”

I also started from B-rank. Ilia, the receptionist at Volante, was really surprised at that time as well. Fufu, she also had quite good breasts. If I have the opportunity again, I would like her to hug me.

“Uhm…… Apparently, it was not only the result of the exam, but the fact that she is a member of your party was also used in the evaluation.”

The receptionist in front of me explained.

I’ve contributed a lot to the guild, and maybe they are being considerate. It was a good thing, because if only one person in the party was of a lower rank, there would be a limit to the requests that we could take.

“We might as well take a request while we are here.”

So we head to the window for A-rank adventurers. Then, the receptionist proposed a certain request.

“I have a request that I would like your party to accept…… This is it.”

“Hmm, you mean to subjugate a band of thieves huh. Let’s see…. A band of thieves has been appearing frequently recently on the main road from Vegaltia to the Royal Capital, and although the guild has been doing its utmost to investigate, you guys still haven’t found their base.”

“That’s right. What’s more, they are especially targeting the dungeon resources that are being transported.”

The resources available in the dungeons are precious. It is this city that has made a great profit by selling it to various places and has developed. It was a big loss for the Adventurer’s Guild to have it stolen. For the pride of the guild, there was no way that such a group of thieves could be forgiven.

“Of course, when transporting the items, we always have skilled adventurers as escorts…… But they would suddenly show up in the middle of the night and take away supplies with unbelievable skill.”

There is almost no fighting. By the time they realize it, they have already been robbed of a valuable resource.

“According to the adventurers, the thieves in question just disappeared without a trace, just like an escape lizard.”

“You mean like that chameleon-like monster we caught during the A-rank promotion exam?”

Anje nods.

Escape Lizard is a monster with the ability to blend in with the surrounding scenery.

“Hmmm, I wonder if they use some kind of magic similar to that?”

“Un, that’s unusual for a thief.”

Anyway, the reward seemed good, so we decided to accept the request. We decided to accompany a group of merchants as escorts. It seems that they will buy the goods from the Adventurer’s Guild and sell them along the way to the Royal Capital.

“I’m the leader of this caravan but……”

A middle-aged merchant paused, looked at us and added,

“Are you sure it’s going to be okay to have a party full of young women like this escort us?”

“We’re almost at the place of the Floor Boss…… but we haven’t seen a kobold since then.”

The young B-rank adventurer who serves as an examiner mutters suspiciously.

“And it was clear that they were running away from us, although some of the monsters seemed to understand the difference in strength so they will run away…… Kobolds shouldn’t have that kind of intelligence……”

In the meantime, the group came to the “nest” of the Floor Boss. A huge kobold approaching two meters tall with several kobolds around it is standing there. It is clearly different from the usual species.

“T-that’s a Floor Boss huh…….”

“……It looks strong.”

The main examiner spoke to the examinees who are nervous,

“That’s the Elder Kobold. And as I told you earlier, you guys need to kill it by yourselves, including its minions. With the twelve of you, the subjugation itself shouldn’t be difficult. Just watch out for its attacks. If you are hit in the wrong place, you may die instantly. After all, if it’s just a small injury, we can treat it, but if you die, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

The examinees become more and more tense. In the midst of all this, there was someone who stepped forward in a casual manner.

“If I can defeat that monster, I can pass the exam, right?”

She is the beautiful beastman. With no weapons in hand, she walks alone towards the Elder Kobold. Everyone was fascinated by her natural and beautiful walking style for a moment, and they can’t help but stay put on their spots.

As a result, the beastman beauty faced the Elder Kobold alone.

“““~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!?”””

Suddenly, she let out an inaudible roar, and the kobolds who heard it fled the scene in unison.

“Wa-wauuuuun!!”

The Elder Kobold hurriedly roared at them not to run away, but no one responded to its orders. The Elder Kobold, who is left alone, tried to confront the Beastman beauty, either because of its pride as the Floor Boss.

“Ku-kyuuun!”

However, after making such a pitiful howl, it immediately tucked its tail between its legs and runs away.

“““Eh?”””

The examiners and other examinees were stunned by the inexplicable scene that had unfolded before their eyes.

“The Floor Boss …… ran away……?”

“It didn’t look that way when it saw us….…”

“……It clearly looked like it was scared of that examinee so it ran away.”

Even for the most experienced examiners, it was the first time that they had ever witnessed a Floor Boss fleeing. In this case, the reason why they have seen so few kobolds so far is probably because of that beastman beauty.

“I will not let it escape. I must pass this exam for Master’s sake.”

The next moment, the figure of the beastman beauty vanished. No, she kicked the ground and chased the fleeing Elder kobold.

“S-so fast!?”

When the young examiner shouted, the beastman beauty had jumped onto the back of the Elder Kobold, who had already run more than a hundred meters ahead.

She grabbed the head and twisted it.

Crack. Crack. Crack.

After about a half twist of its neck, the giant kobold fell to the ground with a loud thud. Then it stops moving. Apparently, the Elder Kobold is dead.

“……S-she took down the Floor boss in an instant!?”

“W-who the heck is that beastman……!?”

The beastman beauty returns to the shocked group while dragging the corpse of the Floor Boss.

“I defeated it. I passed, right?”

As the examiners were stunned and were unable to answer, she tilted her head in confusion.

“What’s wrong? Is it not a pass?”

“Y-you passed….…”

Though perplexed, the young man managed to declare that she passed. The Beastman Beauty nodded in satisfaction.

“Hmm, that’s good. But it was a pretty easy test huh.”

On the other hand, the fact that the Floor Boss was defeated by only one person caused the other examinees to have doubts.

“By the way, what’s going to happen to our practical exam……?”

Accompanied by the adventurers acting as the examiners, the group came to the third level of the dungeon. Here in the Great Dungeon of Vegaltia, powerful monsters and vicious traps appear as you dive into the lower levels. However, the difficulty level of these first three levels is very low, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is for beginners.

For the third level, it is mainly inhabited by kobolds, a bipedal monsters with the head of a dog. It is only slightly stronger than the goblin, which is known as the weakest monster. However, the people who are taking this exam are young examinees who have not even become adventurers yet, most of them are in their mid-teens. And even though they were just kobolds, they are still a monster that one should not let their guard down.

“(.…Hmm. It seems like most of the members this time are cautious enough. This is good.)”

Seeing the other examiners being very cautious of their surroundings, the main examiner, a young B-rank adventurer, was secretly impressed. Well, there are instances that among the hot-blooded examinees, there were quite a few who underestimated the kobolds and suffered the consequences.

“(By the way…… this is a type of beastman that we don’t see very often around here……)”

Among them, the one he was most interested in was a woman who seemed to be a beastman. Her appearance is like a dog beastman, but unlike them, who often have adorable faces, she has a sharp and dignified face. She is about 20 years old, a little older among the other examinees.

And then he realized something.

“(That’s strange.…… We haven’t encountered any monster for a while now.)”

It has already been about ten minutes since they came down to the third floor. With such a large number of kobolds, they should have encountered one long ago.

“Ahem. Well, it’s rare that we haven’t seen kobolds yet, but for the time being, I’d like to explain the contents of this exam in detail. On this floor, there is a monster called the Floor Boss. It’s an Elder Kobold, which is a high-ranking species of kobolds. You guys need to defeat it. We’ll decide on whether you pass or fail based on how the battle goes.”

In this Vegaltia Dungeon, each level is inhabited by a monster called a Floor Boss. Compared to the normal monsters on that level, they are more powerful, and several times a year, beginners to the dungeon would accidentally encounter them and ended up being wiped out.

Since the location of its appearance is almost fixed, such a tragedy can be easily avoided as long as there is information, and of course, the Adventurer’s Guild always explains it to the newcomers. Even so, some new recruits still end up being defeated by the floor boss, so recently, they’ve started to warn the newcomers about it along with the exams. This way, once they had actually seen a floor boss with their own eyes, they would have known how dangerous it was.

“…… It’s clearly not right.”

The examiner, who is a B-rank adventurer, mutters involuntarily. Even though they have progressed through the floor for a long time, they have not yet seen a single monster. It’s as if the monsters are afraid of them and are running away.

“……I’ve done the same exam several times already but I’ve never had anything like this, have you guys?”

“M-Me too.”

“I can’t believe we haven’t encountered any monster yet……”

The other examiners were also scratching their heads. That’s how abnormal the situation is. 

At that moment, one of the examinees noticed something and pointed his finger while shouting, “Aah!”

“T-there’s a kobold over there!”

“Really?”

Everyone’s gaze turns in the direction where the finger was pointed to at the same time. Then, sure enough, there was a kobold figure there.

“Apparently, it just happened that we haven’t encountered them yet.”

“.….But, isn’t that kobold kind of weird? It looks like it’s scared of us, right?”

Immediately after the examiners had such an exchange. The kobold turned on its heel and ran to the depths of the dungeon as if to escape.

“W-what on earth is going on……?”

……They had no idea.

That among these examinees, there is a presence that kobolds instinctively fear.

“Thank you, Lill.”

“That’s a small thing, anything for my Master.”

Fenrir forcibly brought my annoying parents home. She seems to have threatened them firmly so I don’t think they area going to bother me for a while.

“Well, knowing those parents of yours, there’s a good chance they’ll come back to bring you back home with them.”

“Why don’t we just kill them?”

Lill makes a dangerous proposal, but of course, it doesn’t work out that way.

“Rather than that, Lill, since you are in human form, why don’t you register as an adventurer?”

“Register as an adventurer……?”

“If you become an adventurer, you’ll be rewarded for successful missions.”

Normally, the total amount of remuneration does not change, so it will be divided among four people, but in some requests, it is in the form of how much per person, and the more people there are, the more money you can earn.

“If master says so, I’ll register as an adventurer.”

Lill shows her loyalty.

I buried my whole body in her big breasts, impressed by her wonderful spirit. Guhehehe…….

『…… But master. To register as an adventurer, you must pass an exam. She may be able to pass the practical exam, but I don’t think Fenrir will be able to pass the written exam. She probably doesn’t know much about human common sense more than you, Master. 』

(You don’t need to worry about that, Linlin.)

I have a plan in mind.

　　◇◇◇

『Master, the exams have begun.』

『Okay, got it. I believe you’ve been handed a piece of paper, can you read the words on it for me? ……Oh, of course, don’t say it out loud. 』

I was communicating with Lill, who was taking a written exam, through telepathy.

『I see, you are going to tell her the answer through telepathy huh. That’s total cheating at this point.』

(Hahaha, it’s not cheating if you don’t get caught. You have to get caught for it to be cheating you see.)

Ignoring the stunned Lindwurm, I ask Lill to tell me the problem statement.

『Hmmm……』

『What should I write in the answer?』

『Uhm…… The answer is…….』

『What’s the answer?』

(…………This is bad. I don’t know the answer.)

『That’s not a method that would work with someone lacking in common sense, Master.』

I had no choice, so I decided to turn to Fana and Anje as well. They give me the answer, and I pass them on to Lill. It took a little time, and by the time we finished it, it was almost out of time, but somehow, Lill managed to get through the written exam. By the way, it seems that the score was as high as 90 points.

“With you passing the written exam, you can afford the rest.”

Lill is Fenrir, a mythical monster. In humanoid form, her abilities seem to be halved, but she still has the ability to easily surpass A-rank adventurers of Fana and Anje’s level. It would be easy for her to pass the exam to become an adventurer in this way.

If there is any anxiety, it is whether it is okay to let her act alone, which has no human common sense.

“Well, there is no need worry. She just need to do what exactly they asked her to do, isn’t it?”

“Yes. Just listen carefully to what the examiner says.”

“Understood.”

“For assurance, just like with the written exam, make sure that you can communicate with me telepathically. In this way, if you have any questions, just ask me.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to cause trouble to Master.”

　　　　◇◇◇

A young man, who appeared to be around 20 years old, told the assembled examinees,

“We will now start the practical exam.”

He is a B-rank adventurer assigned as the main examiner for this practical exam. In addition, two C-rank adventurers accompanied him as support, and a total of three people will judge the process.

A total of 12 people who passed the written exam, including Lill, are gathered in the basement of the Adventurer’s Guild. Apparently, the practical test will be held in the Vegaltia Dungeon.

“The test venue is on the third floor here. It is a floor where kobolds mainly live.”

It was the middle of the night. Near one of the most exclusive inns in Vegaltia, a group of suspicious figures gathered.

“Are you sure that they are staying at this inn?”

“Yes, there’s no doubt about it. It seems that they are renting a room in this inn with an adventurer who is part of their party.”

“At this time, they should be asleep.”

“Yes. And if you cast a sleep spell on them, they won’t wake up until morning. ……The carriage is ready to leave at any time.”

Their true identities are none other than the vassals of the Brazel family. 

Meliena muttered in frustration as she watched as the most stealthy magicians broke into the building.

“We should have done it this way from the beginning.”

“Don’t say that. I didn’t expect the adventurers to be so troublesome.”

“……”

“Above all, there is the power of that Reus kid. There is no doubt that he was a Great Sage in his previous life. We must bring him back. If the reincarnation of the Great Sage appeared in my clan, I would have nothing to fear anymore. For many years we have been relegated to the undeserved role of guarding such a remote land, but the time has finally come for us to show our power to the whole kingdom, no, to the world!”

As Galia spoke proudly, a thud resounded nearby, as if something fell.

“Hmm? What’s that sound? T-this…… -wha!?”

He turned his gaze to the direction from which the sound came, and involuntarily gasped. There were people lying on the ground. Moreover, when he looked closely, he saw that they are the magicians who have just invaded the building.

“W-What on earth is going on……?”

“Grrrrrr”

“~~~~!?”

The roar of a beast echoed from above. 

He looked up timidly and saw an unbelievably huge wolf. In the darkness of the night, its silver coat still shines. It was a beauty that makes one easily entranced. But more than that, the overwhelming intimidating presence that the monster radiated from its whole body made Galia fell to his knees on the spot.

“A, A, A….…”

Of course, he’s not the only one. 

His wife and his subordinates, without exception, were all speechless and could only kneel on the spot. The head of the giant wolf slowly descends close to Galia. He despaired that he would be eaten to death just like that. However, the next moment, he was hit by an unexpected situation.

“…… Eh?”

The wolf just lifted his body by the corner of its mouth so that only his lower half was trapped.

“Hiiii!?”

He then heard his wife’s screams from the other side. Apparently, on the other side, she was bitten by the wolf in the same way. There was nothing they could do. He instinctively understood that it was useless to resist. His subordinates could not even move.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous load was applied to his whole body. But it wasn’t bitten. The wolf kicked the ground with the two of them in its mouth.

“~~~~~~~~~~~~!?”

The acceleration is so great that he feels like he is about to be tear apart. The wolf leaped and fluttered through the air. Then it jumped over the wall that surrounded the city.

““Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!””

A scream rang out of their mouths, but the wolf landed on the ground as if nothing had happened. In addition, it continues to run at a breakneck speed.

““Gyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!””

The giant wolf’s gallop continued throughout the night.

Morning.

They were already tired of screaming and are now limp, and what greeted them was the familiar city wall illuminated by the morning sun. In the distance, they can see the Magical Forest. Apparently, they have returned to the city ruled by the Brazel family.

The wolf that had been running all this time stopped in its tracks. They are then tossed on the ground nearby.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”

““Hiii!””

『Never lay your hands on my Master again. The next time you do that, I’ll bite you to death. 』

For some reason, a voice came to their minds that seemed to belong to this terrible monster.

Nod! Nod! Nod!

Both of them frantically nodded their heads.

『……You promised. 』

Perhaps satisfied, the giant wolf slowly turned back. Then, with its tail facing them, it headed back the way it had come at breakneck speed.

The sword that Galia threw transformed into a lizard-like form. It seems to be a sword that has become a host for the demon.

『Master, that’s quite dangerous. It appears that is has been bound with enslavement magic, but the binding is very weak and it’s almost broken. After just a few more uses, the contractor will be manipulated by the demon for sure. 』

(Hmmm, I also think it’s better not to leave this alone. Shall we destroy it here and now?)

Guild leader-ojiichan also seems to be in danger as well.

I jumped off Lill’s chest and kicked the ground. In the meantime, the magic sword attacked the guild leader and tried to bite him in the neck. It seems that Guild Leader-ojiichan managed to avoid a fatal wound, but it will probably be difficult for him to continue the fight.

“Guild Leader-ojiichan, it’s time to switch players. I’m also an adventurer, so it’s okay to be one of the players, right?”

“Huh!?”

Interrupting from the air, I swing Lindwurm, who is in sword mode, into the magic sword with all my might.

“Gravity”

Because I had used gravity magic just moments earlier to increase the weight of the blade several times, a tremendous impact like a meteorite had fallen was slammed into the magic sword.

Zudooooong!

“Gyaaaaaaaaaah!?”

With a deafening scream, the magic sword was crushed and it sinks to the floor. At the same time, a large crater was formed.

“……As usual, you are going absurd huh..…”

“More than that, let me heal your wound first. Extra Heal.”

The guild leader’s wounds are closing up. He has lost a lot of blood, but Extra Heal also restored his lost blood so his complexion improved in no time.

“I-impossible…… W-What was that just now……? Am I…… dreaming……?”

Galia stands there dumbfounded, his voice trembling.

“Well, this player has been replaced by me…… What will you do? Do you want to continue fighting? If you’re still going to fight, I’m going to be your opponent.”

“R-Reus….…”

“So, what are you going to do?”

I pointed the tip of Lindwurm who is still in sword mode at him and approaches intimidatingly.

Galia retreated in fright.

“I-I’m never going to give up……! I-I will definitely……-uh! I’ll definitely bring you back home! That’s for sure!”

Galia spoke such parting remark and quickly turned on his heel. Then, with the vassals of the Brazel family in tow, they walked out of the training ground as if they were running away.

“They finally went back.”

『Master should have threatened them from the beginning and forced them to leave. 』

(Cute babies don’t do that you know.)

『Master is definitely not a cute baby.』

I approached the crushed magic sword, which had sunk into the floor.

“You’re pretending to be dead, but you’re not dead, aren’t you?”

“~~~~!?”

Looking closely, I can see that the restoration of the shattered blade has begun. If left unchecked, it will eventually restore itself. It’s dangerous, so I’m going to keep it under my control with enslavement magic.

“N-No, stooooop! ……If I am enslaved by a monster like you, I will never be able to run free again!”

“Well, that is why I’m enslaving you.”

“Gyaaaaaa!”

Okay, it’s done. 

In this way, there will be no problem with restoring the blade. I used my blade restoration magic to restore the sword and threw it into my subspace for the time being.

“……We didn’t do anything in the end huh.”

“But it didn’t look like they had given up, so they’ll come back for sure.”

“We don’t know what kind of tactics they’re going to use so it’s going to be troublesome.”

“Yeah…. What’s even more annoying is that they are blaming the guild.”

I can hear such a conversation. 

Hmmm, it looks like I’m causing quite a bit of trouble.

“That’s right. Lill.”

“What can I do for you, Master?”

“Since Lill is a wolf, you have a good nose, right?”

“I am not just a wolf, Master. I can’t be compared to an ordinary wolf. I can even sniff out the types of magic.”

“I see… Well, you remember the smell of those guys, didn’t you?”

“Of course.”

I’ll leave the rest to Lill.

The guild leader dodged the sword thrown by Galia. The sword pierced the floor.

“W-what’s with this ominous sword……?”

“I didn’t really want to use this, but I have no choice. It’s all your fault.”

“……What do you mean?”

“This is one of the most dangerous magic swords in the possession of our Brazel family. Once it is pulled out of its sealing sheath, it will not be satisfied until it has consumed human souls.”

Galia’s ancestor several generations ago. He was known as a rare collector of magic swords, and the magic swords and cursed swords he collected from all over the world are still secretly held by his family. Among them, this was considered to be the most dangerous item.

“Giiiiiiiiiiii”, an ear-splitting, shrieking sound rang out as a mouth and fangs appeared on the blade of the magic sword. In addition, a giant eyeball emerged on it, taking an eerie appearance as if a human face is embedded in the blade of the sword.

The changes didn’t end there. From the handle, something like an elongated limb grew, allowing itself to stand on the ground. The magic sword, which had transformed into a slender lizard-like form laughed creepily. Its hideous looking eyes looked at the humans gathered here as if appraising each one.

“Hee-hee-hee, it’s been a long time since I’ve last manifested! There are so many tasty-looking humans here… (Slurp, slurp)”

Galia warned the magic sword which is licking its lips.

“I don’t have a problem with you eating two or three of them. But remember, don’t touch that baby.”

“Hee-hee, I can’t help it, that baby looks the most delicious.”

“Y-you bastard….”

“Kekeke, I’m just kidding, a joke okay.”

The adventurers are flustered by the magic sword that converses with Galia.

“T-that sword is talking……? ……What on earth is that? No, this ominous feeling…… I’ve felt it somewhere before…… D-don’t tell me….. is it a demon…..?”

“……You got it right. A demon resides in this sword.”

Demon. It is an intelligent life form that is said to inhabit a different world from this one, but its detailed ecology is not well understood. It is said that in order to appear in this world, a host of some kind is necessary. This sword was indeed one that can house the spirit of a demon.

It was supposed to be bound with enslavement magic and kept under control, but it occasionally acts outside the control of Galia, making it difficult to say that it can be completely controlled. What’s more, some of the past masters have used the power of this magic sword too much, and their minds have been taken over by demons. It was indeed a double-edged sword and that is maybe why Galia did not want to rely on the power of this sword if possible.

“Since it has come to this, there is no other way then.”

“H-Hey! Are you saying you are going to let that demon fight……? That’s for sure against the rules you know.”

“Breaking the rules? Even if it’s a sword with a demon dwelling in it, a sword is still a sword, right? It was stated that it doesn’t matter what kind of weapon we use. We agreed on that arrangement, didn’t we? Alright, come on, do it. Start with him.”

“Heeheehee, understood….. (woooo—sh)”

With almost no preliminary movement, the magic sword leaped at the guild leader. He immediately blocked the blade of the sword that rushed at him with his spear, but the next moment the blade extended.

“Wha-……?”

“You’re mi~ne!”

The fangs bite the guild leader’s neck and tears it off. Spurt. Fresh blood flew everywhere.

“““Guild Leader!?”””

“Kekeke, don’t avoid it.”

“Ggh……ugh……”

Apparently, thanks to the quick twist of his neck, the fatal wound was avoided. Still, he had a piece of flesh on his neck ripped off, and he was bleeding so much, he would die if he didn’t get a healing spell right away. 

The adventurers panicked and tried to stop the fight, but the magic sword doesn’t listen.

“Yaahahaha! This time, I’ll bite you to death!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, it attacked again. 

At that moment, a small shadow fell from the ceiling at a breakneck speed towards the magic sword.

“Guild Leader-ojiichan, it’s time to switch players. I’m also an adventurer, so it’s okay to be one of the players, right?”

He spoke while brandishing a giant sword in his small hands.

Zudooooong!

“Gyaaaaaaaaaah!?”

With a thunderous roar, the magic sword was crushed.

After suffering three straight losses to Fana, the other side began to complain, claiming that we must have been cheating somehow. The duel was then temporarily halted and the Brazel family conducted an inspection. But since we are not doing any cheating, no matter how much they investigate, there is no way they can find anything.

“G-Galia-sama, I looked into it but I couldn’t find anything suspicious……”

“What!? That can’t be! There must be something! Otherwise, how could our elite be helpless against such a little girl!?”

“T-that….…”

The vassal turned pale when Galia yelled at him. He has done nothing wrong, but it’s a pity that he got such a superior.

“I-if there’s one thing that I’ve noticed….. it is the sword she is using. Uhm….. it was probably a sword made of mithril, but it seemed to be made using a method I had never seen before. Furthermore, it has been imbued with a number of powerful magic spells…… uh-!”

“What!? You should have told me that sooner! That girl’s uncanny strength must have come from the power of her sword!”

“B-but, as for the weapons, we made an agreement in advance that we could use any kind of weapon……”

“Kuu-……That’s true. So, these guys set a trap there…… Tch! How cowardly!”

Galia contorts his face in disgust. It was the guild leader who refuted.

“What are you talking about? The conditions are the same to you, right? Besides, wasn’t it you who was most keen to make that arrangement?”

“S-shut up! ……Be cocky while you can! My wife and I are still here!”

And so, the duel resumes.

“Leave it to me. I’m going to crush that little girl.”

“Yes. Don’t lose.”

Meliena stepped forward, and just as Fana was about to comply, the guild leader stops her.

“Wait, Fana.”

“?”

“Switch player”

“……I can still fight.”

“I can see that. It’s just that, if it goes on like this, it appears that you will end up defeating them all. You’ve already taken out three of them, so you should be satisfied, right? Let me fight a little bit.”

“Can you win?”

“Hey, hey. Come on, who do you think I am?”

Apparently, the guild leader will fight on behalf of Fana.

“At this rate, we may not have a chance to take part.”

“Yeah.”

While Gain and Emily chuckled, the Guild Leader and Meliena faced each other in the center of the training ground.

“Former S-Rank Adventurer, Ark the ‘Divine Spear’…… I’ve heard some rumors about you.”

“Is that so? Well, you’re famous in your own way too, Meliena the ‘Extreme Ice’. I bet this is going to be a lot of fun.”

“……You’ve been out of active duty for a long time now, right? Hmmm…, I wonder how long an old man on the verge of being senile can last in a fight.”

“On the other hand, if you lose to an old man like me, it will only tarnish the name of the Brazel family even more, right?”

The guild leader retorts calmly to Meliena, who looks down on him.

“….…”

Meliena’s brow furrows and the corners of her mouth contorted. A beautiful woman is ruined.

『Nevertheless, she’s a woman with a bad personality.』

(Yeah. I’m actually glad that I was abandoned.)

As soon as the battle began, Meliena was the first to make a move. From the very beginning, she unleashed a powerful magic spell.

“Freeze up! Permafrost!”

In an instant, a terrific blizzard broke out and attacked the guild leader.

『That was not fair. It seems that she had prepared the spell in advance and prepared it to be unleashed as soon as the battle began. Well, her technique in concealing her magical power so that no one would notice was quite good though. 』

Since she is a pure magician, she probably thought that she wouldn’t be able to win for sure if she hadn’t done that. She told her opponent that it was unfair, but then she used a technique that was almost illegal. Well, I don’t think that it’s out of her bad personality.

“Ahahaha! If a former S-rank adventurer and guild leader loses, the adventurer guild’s reputation will be tarnished!”

Confident of victory, Meliena let out a roar of laughter.

“Alright. Let’s see, I can’t wait to know what kind of expression you have on your face when you freeze up.”

However, the next moment, a voice coming from behind her made her face contort in an instant.

“You thought that would be enough to get rid of a senile old man?”

“Wha-!?”
