I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 36

That’s right, I think I’ll go hunt some magical beasts for a change of pace.

That’s a good idea!

I quickly returned to the dormitory, got ready, and headed to the guild. The guild was as lively as ever.

I want to hunt a lot today!

I want to hunt like crazy!

I look at the monsters posted on the request board. Since I recently leveled up to rank C, there should be more monsters I can defeat.

I came across a request form.

It’s rank D, but a party is recommended, okay? The target for extermination is the Gyarou. They’ve made their lair deeper in Benan Village and are multiplying, so they want us to eliminate them all.

The beast called Gyarou looks like a pig at first glance, but it has two long tentacles that it uses for eating and attacking enemies.

Gyarou is large and round, so it moves slowly, and as long as you watch out for its tentacles, there shouldn’t be any problems. However, they act in groups and have a strong reproductive ability, so their numbers are high, making it recommended to go in a party.

I took the paper and brought it to the reception.

“Yugere-sama, this request is recommended for a party, is that alright?”

“Ah, it’s fine because I’ll defeat it with magic.”

Understood. Please don’t push yourself too hard.

“Also, I will take on this request.”

She also took on the other requests around Benan Village. The receptionist looked worried, but Yuria, without a care, quickly left the guild and boarded the shared carriage.

After half a day, we finally arrived at Benan Village, greeted the village chief, and then headed to the requested location. If we don’t hurry, night will come.

The village chief was worried, but there’s no problem. We walk steadily deeper into the forest. There is a well-established path for the villagers to collect medicinal herbs from the cave deeper inside. Along the way, there seems to be a Gyarou’s nest.

There was.

A pack of gyarous.

There must be at least two hundred of them. I draw my sword and begin the battle. As if to dispel the fog in my heart, I slash at them relentlessly, moving with single-minded determination.

“Ah, it’s done! I feel so refreshed!”

It’s fun to keep slashing without worrying about the bl00d splatter. I might really be a battle maniac after all. A bit taken aback by myself, I head back to the village chief.

“Mayor, it’s done. Please check.”

“!! Ah, I’m coming now. More importantly, are you hurt?”

“This is all the bl00d of the Gyarou. I haven’t been injured at all.”

The village chief, with a pale face, headed towards the Gyarou’s nest with me.

“……Incredible.”

“Did you get it confirmed?”

It seems the village chief is horrified to see the corpses of the Gyarou scattered everywhere.

Since I was able to confirm, I gathered the corpses with wind magic and then burned all the Gyarou with fire magic.

“I burned everything, so please use it as fertilizer.”

“……Ah. Doing this all by yourself. You’re amazing. You took on other requests too, didn’t you? Take a break today and I’ll be counting on you from tomorrow.”

“I understand.”

I returned to the inn, cleaned off the bl00d, and then lay down on the bed. The fog in my mind cleared, and I felt refreshed.

The amount of work can be completed by tomorrow, and I regret not taking on a bit more.

The next morning, after having breakfast, we smoothly continue to defeat the monsters.

Ah, maybe this really suits me after all. I was thinking that being a noble lady didn’t really suit me!

I happily hunt magical beasts with a smile.

When we return to the royal capital, let’s consult with Professor Paron!

After completing the request, I took a shared carriage back to the royal capital.

“Professor Paron! I’m home!”

“Yuria, welcome back. Where were you yesterday?”

“When I returned home after a long time, I got so frustrated that I went to Benan Village and took down two hundred Gyarou.”

“You’re still as much of a tomboy as ever, my lady. Did you get hurt?”

“There was absolutely no problem. I cut through everything with my sword! I didn’t get a single injury this time either. I really think I should become an adventurer!”

“Graham and Eme must be worried.”

“Don’t worry! I’m strong!”

“Are you thinking of becoming an adventurer after graduating from the academy?”

“Yeah. I was thinking of graduating, but when I got home yesterday, my younger brother was angry, saying that if he inherits the title of count, he would remove me from the nobility register.”

There was no sign of my father or mother trying to stop it. I might be sold off and married to some noble before they even strip me of my noble status. If that happens, I’ll run away with all my might!

“Well, as long as you can study, just do your best.”

“Of course! I’ll learn a lot of magic while I have the chance.”

Yes, I realized while learning magic from Professor Giannino at the academy that I hardly ever chant.

I think this is the influence of dream magic. Especially the attack magic is quite prominent.

Because I have always been surrounded by dozens of enemies, constantly fighting with sword and magic, there was no time to chant spells.

It’s a bit late now, but!

After chatting with Professor Paron for a bit, I stopped by Eme’s house before heading back to the dorm.
