To Me, Who Was Single-Handedly Holding The Front Line, You Call Me A "Useless Piece of Trash"? Fine. I'll Live as I Please And Set Out On A Journey To Find A Cute Wife. - This time, I'll Become A Hero In The Enemy Country And Bare My Fangs At My Homeland - Episode 14

After moving to the Adventurer’s Guild, we were staring at the quest notices posted on the wall, racking our brains.

Since it’s my first time taking on a request, should I go for an easier one, or should I take on a high-paying request that comes with the benefits of an ‘A’ rank?

Or, should we take on requests within the country since we don’t know the area well, or, or…

No good. It’s too difficult for me.

“Fern, let’s kill all these bounty hunters. How about we start with the high-priced ones and make a bloodbath out of it?”

“Hmm, isn’t it expensive because you can’t find it?”

“Indeed”

By the way, the heavy rain has stopped. As adventurers gradually arrive, they pick up the request forms from the wall and move to the reception.

If we don’t hurry, we won’t be able to get a meal.

I’m good at fighting. Rather than searching for something, I prefer to just take out as many as possible.

I wonder if there are any bad guys walking around here. At this point, even a guy who looks bad would be fine.

“Is something bothering you? If it’s okay with you, I’m here to listen.”

At that moment, the one who called out to me from behind was the guild lady. She had a receptionist name tag on her chest.

It was written, “Elena.”

It’s different from the person who explained the adventurer to me before.

Long, pale pink hair, with beautiful features.

From the looks of the flow of magic, it seems quite strong.

Huh? Chest――.

Huh, is Fern somehow concerned about my gaze?

Shall we refrain from mentioning this here?

“Thank you. We’re trying to decide which request to take on.”

“I see, so you two are Mr. and Mrs. Party, right?”

“Y-yes! There are so many options, and we were just discussing which one would be best.”

“Hmm, hmm, how has the request completion rate been so far? If it’s okay, shall we also look at the trends?”

“I’ve never taken it before. I just passed it the other day… Ah, here it is.”

Fern takes out the necklace from her chest and shows it.

Seeing that, the older sister raised her voice.

“Huh, ‘A’!?”

When I continued to show it, they were even more surprised.

“W-What!? You two!? Ah… now that you mention it, I heard there were two people who beat Mr. Bory in the exam… it was you two, wasn’t it!? Amazing…”

I feel a bit embarrassed. But being complimented might actually make me happy.

I introduced myself briefly and shook hands.

Did Fern seem to be staring at me? Or is it just my imagination?

“I apologize for the delay. I am Elina, the receptionist here. I’ve been working at the headquarters lately, and today I returned here for the first time in a while.”

“Wow, headquarters?”

“This is the Adventurers’ Guild. If you head south from here, you’ll find a large brown building. That’s it. We’re quite busy at the moment…”

“Hmm, is there something going on?”

In response to my question, Elina paused for a moment before speaking.

“Have you heard the rumors about the Frenzied Berserker Frenzy?”

Frenzy.

Ah, come to think of it, is this the place the adventurers were talking about when I first came here?

I heard they made the elite unit bald or something. And then, they’re supposed to be super strong, right?

“At least someone strong”

“I heard it too. They say they stole the hair roots of the elite unit.”

Oh, Fern was listening too.

Then Elina leaned in and spoke in a low voice.

“Excuse me, could you please lower your voice a bit? It’s a sensitive topic after all… Also, some of us still have hair follicles.”

“I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to!?”

“No, I apologize for asking you first.”

I see, baldness is sensitive, so I won’t raise my voice.

Alright, I’ve memorized it.

However, Elina is a polite person. There are many kind people in this country.

“Let’s get back to the topic. The Frenzied Berserker is the most famous person in this country right now. They are a terrifying opponent who has stopped all invasions of our country. They withstand any attack and are unaffected by any magic, although no one has ever seen their true form.”

Wow. So cool… I can’t believe there’s someone like that.

“What do you mean by saying you’ve never seen it?”

“It looks like they’re hiding their face. Actually, it seems they were wearing mud-resistant clothes.”

Mudguard, huh? Its kind of reminds me of the front lines.

Did Frenzy also struggle like I did? Not being able to take a bath and fighting against mud every day.

However, stopping all the invasions of the country is incredibly intense.

Fern seemed to be thinking about something after hearing that. I wonder what’s wrong.

“There are amazing people in the world, huh? So what?”

“First of all, do you know that Trava and our country are in a state of war?”

“Of course. Because I’m Trava—mmpf.”

Suddenly, Fern covered my mouth.

I am being pleaded with through their eyes. That’s right. I had forgotten. If I say I came from the Trava army, it would be bad.

“To-ra, to-ra, to-ra! The call ‘to-ra, to-ra, to-ra’ is really popular among us right now! Hey, Yamagishi-san!”

That’s quite an excuse. For now, let’s just go along with it.

“Excuse me. It’s Tora Tora Tora.”

“Hehe, I don’t really understand it well, but it’s interesting. Is it ‘tora tora tora’?”

Somehow, I managed to pull it off.

Rather, they liked it and were pleased, saying it has a nice ring to it.

“I know, of course, that we are at war with Trava. Um, but I don’t know why we are at war…”

So, Fern asked. Come to think of it, do you not know?

The entire area has turned into a drought zone, and there’s no drinking water or food left, so they’re starting a war because of that—wait a minute.

Come to think of it, since I came to this country, I’ve only eaten delicious food.

The water was cold and delicious, and no one looked like they were suffering while walking around the city.

……That’s strange. What’s going on?

“The Trava Army has been causing trouble by illegally trespassing into dungeons across borders and abducting protected animals from our country. But the main reason is that the army is illegally modifying monsters. We’re trying to put a stop to that.”

Hmm, I don’t know anything about that. What’s going on?

“Is this for real?”

“Of course. All the countries that are part of the alliance know. That’s precisely why we are launching a multi-pronged attack.”

Elena’s magical flow is normal.

In other words, is it true?

Did the Trava army lie?

The higher-ups must surely know.

Was the lack of front-line monitoring intentional?

When something happens, it’s better if fewer people find out.

“Are we going to annihilate the Trava nation?”

“We will not do such a thing. This is strictly an issue with the Trava Army. We have collectively decided that we will not harm ordinary citizens.”

After that, Elena even told me that the frenzied berserker hasn’t been seen around lately.

That said, it’s not certain, so it seems they will continue to be cautious from now on.

“In the next invasion, the military and the Adventurers’ Guild will be joining forces. Sorry, I got a bit off track there. Shall we think about the request together?”

“Yeah, I feel refreshed. Thank you.”

After that, Elina explained the details of the request to me.

The locations of medicinal herbs, the places where monsters appear, and even compiled notes.

“Among the monsters, there are some that become stronger by cannibalism, so please be careful.”

Thank you.

You’re really a good person.

Since coming to this country, nothing bad has ever happened.

And yet, I ended up smashing the park wall.

“By the way, can I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

“That request form in the corner is really dirty, why is that?”

I glanced at the request form in the corner of the wall.

I’ve been curious about it since earlier.

“Ah… it’s become a ‘pickled’ request, hasn’t it?”

“Pickled?”

“I’m sorry. It’s the adventurers’ words. When there’s a difference between the difficulty of the mission and the reward, no one wants to take it because it doesn’t seem worth it. If that situation continues, it means it’s being left like salted food… It’s embarrassing. It’s also our responsibility that we can’t manage it to that extent.”

At that moment, Fern and I exchanged glances.

It seems like we feel the same way. I want to do the same for good people as much as I can.

Ah, I’m glad. I understood Fern’s feelings.

Making eye contact and nodding, Elina calls out.

“I want to take that. If possible, the one that’s been left unattended for a long time.”

“Eh? I appreciate it, but as I mentioned before… for those in the A-rank, the earnings are quite low…”

“I still want to do it! Hey, Yamagishi-san.”

“Yeah, that’s true. There are probably people who are struggling.”

Then Elena suddenly bowed her head.

Thank you very much. I am very pleased that people like you have become adventurers.

He’s really a good person.

I had Elena organize the requests for me, and I decided to handle them in order from the top.

At first, from a village a little farther away.

It seems that they can’t harvest their crops because of the monsters, and they are having a hard time.

Since it’s a subjugation type, I’m happy about it.

“Thank you, Elena. I’ll come back once I’ve achieved it again.”

“We will be waiting for you. If I’m not here, please let the receptionist know.”

“Thank you very much for your kind attention!”

As I was about to go outside, Elena called out to me, “Sorry for everything.”

“It’s still a bit far off, but we plan to request ‘mercenaries’ from the adventurers. We might have to fight the Frenzied Berserker, but if you could consider lending us your strength, we would be very grateful. Mr. Bory will also be participating, so I think it would be a joy for you as well.”

A mercenary, huh? I have to go back to Toraba to retrieve the great sword.

I’d also like to try fighting the Frenzied Berserker, so that sounds good.

When I went outside and tried to ask Fern, I was called out first.

“Yamagishi-san, I don’t mind. I’ll follow you.”

“Thank you. Yeah, there’s also the matter of the great sword.”

“Besides, we want to give that army that captured us a piece of our mind!”

I couldn’t help but smile at the bright Fern.

I’m glad you feel better.

“Alright, let’s do our best on our first mission. It’s a bit far, but if we run, we should make it in half a day.”

“That’s right. Ah… and also, Mr. Yamagishi.”

“Hmm, what’s wrong?”

“Um… could it be that you like people like Elina?”

“Huh? Why?”

“…Well, you said you wanted a wife, and you had a good figure… and your personality… you always seemed so happy.”

“Hmm, I hadn’t thought about it, but you’re right. Someone like Elina seems nice.”

“……I see.”

“Eh, is something wrong?”

“It’s nothing. The villagers are in trouble, so let’s hurry.”

“Eh, but somehow――”

“Nothing at all.”

I wonder what’s wrong. They seem suddenly cold.

Yes

Yes

People’s feelings are really complicated!

“But you know, I really like people like Fern the most.”

“……Huh?”

“Because he’s kind and it’s fun to be with him.”

Oh, you seem happy this time.

Behind the reception area of the Adventurers’ Guild, Elina was staring at a document alone.

“Those people made Mr. Bory surrender. They both seemed like good people. And… they were cute. With their friendly eyes and soft, white skin. I wonder… if they’ve never… done it before. I want to try it for the first time.”

At that moment, drool dripped from Elena’s cheek, and she hurriedly wiped it away.

“Not good, not good. Serious mode, serious mode. Once I calm down, maybe I’ll try to appeal. My moans will surely be cute too… Hehe, Fern-chan was so cute.”

The document that Elina was looking at belonged to Fern.

She is a true Yuri.

What I like are small and cute girls (adults).

What I particularly like are new things. It’s even better if they’re shy.

“Speaking of which, Yamagishi-san… he seemed really strong. Who exactly is he? I hope he comes when we recruit ‘mercenaries.’ Maybe I should directly petition the knight commander. Oh, I need to take this off…”

Noticing the pin on his chest, he tucked it into his pocket. This was what Yamagishi had been looking at with interest.

There are three lines above the hawk.

It’s the insignia indicating the position of deputy commander at Verdi.

“Receptionist for adventurers and wearing two hats, I wonder how long I can keep this up. But it’s fun because I get to meet all sorts of people. … Oh, right. Maybe I should ask the captain to name the mission ‘Tora Tora Tora.’ It has a nice ring to it. Ah… I want to see her again. Fern-chan… if we get along, maybe I’ll call her Fern-chan. Hehe, hehe. I want to eat.
