“Alright, I’m heading off.”
Seeing everyone off, I first teleported to the West Adventurer Guild.
Although it was a time with fewer people, I was politely escorted to the Sub Guild Master Room.
“Ho, the Dragon transport preparations are complete, my lad.”
“Thank you. You’re in quite a hurry, aren’t you?”
“We couldn’t prepare a medium-sized one, so it’s four small ones. You’ll see when you look.”
Will we be riding them individually?
“The Dragon Arena is fine, right?”
“Aye, and regarding the Beast Shooter materials, aside from the magic stone, there are three other noteworthy items.”
Ganes reached into his Item Box.
The first thing that emerged made Anju gasp in admiration!
“Aaaaaah!!!”
“It’s an Extra Large Delicious Seed. It must be incredibly tasty.”
Yes, it indeed reads “Delicious Seed (Extra Large)”.
But this is because the Beast Shooter burned spectacularly, turning it into a Delicious Seed. If we had defeated it without it burning, it would have surely been a seed that greatly increased abilities. Thinking about it, it’s a bit of a shame.
“I wanna eat it, I wanna eat it, I wanna eat it, I wanna eat it!”
“Anju, calm down.”
“Yes, yes, Anju. The seed isn’t going anywhere.”
Nina put it away in the Item Box for now,
while Clarice held back Anju. With that size, I’d want to split it and eat it with everyone.
“Next is this, a charred tail.”
A fragrant smell wafted over.
Ah, this looks like it could be used as medicine material.
“Hmm, Anju, appraise it.”
“Okay… ‘Beast Shooter’s Tail. A precious item that can be used as material for a full magic recovery potion. It can also be powdered and mixed into potions.'”
“I see. With that size, it looks like it could make a hundred portions.”
It’s similar to Anju’s magic candy, isn’t it?
If that’s the case, it might be worth selling at an auction.
“And finally, this.”
“A carapace.”
“Ah, I’ve scraped off all the charring. It’s polished nicely.”
It’s the Beast Shooter’s carapace. Big and thick.
It could be processed into a shield or armor, but what kind of blacksmith would have that skill…
No, that’s no good. The Dwarf Princess immediately comes to mind!
“Deles, about this carapace.”
“Are we putting it up for auction?!”
“…If Deles says so, then fine.”
Nina isn’t the type to use a shield.
No, if we made it into armor and had Nina wear it, it would be perfect!
“Nina, would you like it as armor?”
“Ah, it’s perfectly hard. It wouldn’t let heat through unless exposed to flames for a very long time.”
“Uuuuuuh…”
It seems I’ll have to sacrifice my body after all…??
“I have some good information.”
“Ah, Ganes! Please, go ahead.”
“It seems there’s an armor specialist in the Mu Mu Empire.”
“Really?!”
“Yes, they apparently can make armor from any hard material, as long as they have it in a sufficient size. The method is a secret, though!”
That’s it!
“Nina, let’s ask that person.”
“Agreed.”
“Ask about the details at the Adventurer Guild over there.”
So, is that all?
“Oh, right. You became Upper Adventurers, didn’t you? Nina and Deles, update your Adventurer Cards.”
“You want us to go through the trouble?”
“It’s for our convenience here. Please exchange them.”
He handed over a golden card.
It’s quite amazing, looking like it would stand out even from a distance.
“Also, Deles’s Upper Adventurer Concealment Application has already been registered.”
“Ah, thank you.”
“It will be transmitted to the Milishitan Continent in the East soon as well. Wh-well, that’s that.”
Nina and I handed over our old cards.
I had a bit of affection for them, but we must move forward.
“Now then, I’ll leave the transport work as Hero Porter to you.”
“Yes! I’m off.”
“While you’re at it, please deliver this to the Adventurer Guild over there.”
It was a thick, large envelope. Inside, it felt crammed with documents.
“This is heavy.”
“Whatever you do, don’t hand it to the Sub Guild Master there. Hand it directly to the Guild Master.”
“Ah, I understand. I’m off.”
“Well then, return safely!”
After bidding Ganes farewell for a while, I left the Sub Guild Master Room.
“Shall we go?”
“Nina, before that… Anju, to the plains where we first met Helen.”
“Ah… Right.”
Remembering the location, we all teleported.
“Deles, this is…”
“Yes, it’s to confirm if I’ve become twice as strong as I heard, and as training.”
“I see. What I wanted.”
I illuminated the surroundings with Light Magic.
Now, let us engage in a fair battle.
“Clarice, please be the referee.”
“Understood.”
Nina drew her Princess Sword and took a stance.
I confronted her with my Pride Sword. Now, what’s the difference in our current strengths…?!
“Then… begin!”
The result was…
“Excuse me, Nina. It’s 19 wins for me and 1 for yours.”
“Haa, haa… Hey, Deles.”
“Yes? You can barely stand with the Berserk Sword impaled, can’t you?”
“My one win… You, you intentionally lost, didn’t you?!”
“No, not at all. After fighting for 10 rounds, didn’t we switch weapons to the Berserk Sword and Adamantite Sword, respectively?
And then, well, I’m not yet comfortable with the combination or fighting style, so it was just a normal loss for me.”
There’s no way I wouldn’t fight seriously against Nina.
“Damn it, kill me! Right here, right now…”
“Fufufufu, I’ll do something crueler than killing you, and I’ll kill you as a woman.”
As usual, I played along with the “killed-by-cruelty” skit, feigning a cynical smile like a villain.
“Now, it’s my turn.”
“Clarice-san, is that…”
“Fufu, it is the Crystal Angel Staff. Such a staff can also be used as a weapon.”
Weren’t those only usable by Demon Lord class…?!
“Now, let us spar.”
(The referee this time is Helen, huh? Alright, I won’t let my guard down and I’ll win!)
The result was…
“It’s all losses, I’m afraid…”
“Well, with a staff, that’s natural.”
But it was quite close.
“Ugh, my body is dedicated to the Goddess. How dare you try to tear my clothes!”
“No, no, I wasn’t going that far…”
Actually, she seems fully prepared for it.
“Next is me.”
Anju appeared, cloaked in an aura of darkness.
“Um, let’s start without teleportation.”
“Alright.”
(I hope she doesn’t use Instant Death Attack or anything…)
What will be the outcome!
