“Gya-ha-ha, the air of the outside world is the best, isn’t it, you guys!!!”

In the carriage heading to the Kingdom of Verdi.

Muscle Protein laughed heartily, his nostrils flaring.

The pectoral muscles sway greatly as if trembling with joy.

There were ten men around.

They were each Muscle’s henchmen who were imprisoned in the dungeon.

“Wow, just the thought of being able to cut off another person’s head again makes my mouth water. It’s all thanks to Muscle-sama.”

“Hahaha! Just so you know, don’t kill Yamagishi! Well, it’s okay to take off his arms and legs, right? Kill anyone who gets in the way. Guillotine Rat Fire!”

“Hehe, I am truly grateful.”

Beheading Mouse Fire.

He is a mass murderer who indiscriminately beheaded people one after another in Trava.

I have the gifted ability to transform magic into a sword.

“I want to cut some meat. Women’s meat would be nice. Hehehe.”

The nickname of the chubby man next to him is Kamaitachi.

He is skilled at casting magic that sends blades of wind flying from a distance.

Originally, he belonged to the Trava army, but he was imprisoned for cutting down his comrades from behind.

There are also the Shadow-Eating Demon, the Bone-Breaking Doctor, the Moon shadow Phantom Wolf, and the Star-Weaving Phantom Thief among others. All of them are notorious villains in the world of Drava.

The one holding back at the very back was――.

“Hey you! Hand over that water to me!”

“Y-yes!”

The man who shoplifted candy is known as “Manbiki.”

“Master Muscle, why did you bring this guy here? Isn’t he just a worthless piece of trash?”

“This guy is a loser, but he has a useful ability called Gifted. Hey, Manbiki.”

“Y-yes…”

The moment the pickpocket sighed, the carriage shook violently. No, it stopped.

“Hehehe, have we arrived?”

“…No, it should have been later.”

Muscle frowned and ordered the Shadow-Eater demon to go check the situation.

Because of the shaking, the Bedouin who had been sleeping at the back wakes up.

“……Hmm, what’s wrong, Muscle?”

“I don’t know. I’m having Kagekui check it right now.”

After yawning, suddenly, the scream of the Shadow Eater was heard from outside.

The men hurriedly exchanged glances.

“Kama-itachi, chubby!”

“Hey!”

When Muscle called out, the chubby one suddenly slashed the carriage from the inside, widening the view.

As it crumbles away, the outside comes into view, and everyone’s faces turn pale.

“……No way.”

“Hi, hi”

The carriage was running through the forest. It was supposed to be.

Yet the ground is becoming like a desert. The trees are starting to wither.

Beyond that, a giant sword was stuck into the ground.

But what was even more terrifying was that the area was surrounded by the Massacre Spider Death Creatures. As the giant sword glimmered, a massive swarm of Massacre Spider Death Creatures charged at them.

“W-why is a Murder Spider Death Creature in a place like this!? Muscle! Help me! Or I’ll blow it up!!!”

“Damn it, you guys, form up near the Bedouin leader――”

“Hygyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

The overworked doctor is bitten and killed by the massacre spider death creature.

The muscle of Muscle, upon seeing that, significantly atrophied.

“…Huh? W-what!? Eeeeeeeh!? All the requests are already finished!?”

Adventurers’ Guild, night.

Elena’s scream echoed. Meanwhile, her pink hair swayed wildly.

Is it really that surprising? We just accomplished our mission.

This is the job of an adventurer, right?

“What’s wrong?”

“Uh, well… I did leave it to you two this morning. But… is it already done?”

“Yeah”

“Could it be… that being early is a bad thing?”

Fern is also worried.

Elena furrowed her brows as she reviewed the request form.

The extermination of the elite goblin nest that had made its base near Pipin Village.

The territorial awareness is strong, and there is no immediate danger, but it is increasing day by day, so they want something to be done about it.

Achieved.

Search for S-rank medicinal herbs.

Highly valuable and commissioned by the Earl of Gibson.

Many search operations were called off due to difficulties.

Achieved.

And, flipping through the pages.

“……Elite goblins are normally something that takes months to exterminate.”

“Is that so? But they were weak. Hey, Fern.”

“I just think Yamagishi-san was too strong. He was laughing while decapitating goblins, and when he strung the ears of the defeated goblins together to make a necklace, the elite goblin was kneeling and crying. The terrifying part was that he then decapitated the elite goblin without a second thought.”

By the way, I decided to stop wearing ear necklaces because they said they would be banned in the future.

It can’t be helped. I’ll just go with the flow. If I do that, Fern will probably forgive me too.

Later, it’s not okay to behead someone who is bowing down to you, so remember this too.

“By the way, how did you find the S-rank herb? No one could find it for a whole year. They even said it didn’t exist around here.”

“Fern found it. It was actually the easiest one, wasn’t it?”

“Yes. I can talk to spirits, so I just asked where it is.”

Elena looks like her jaw is about to drop from shock. I wonder if she’s okay.

It sounds choppy.

“Hey, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen Elina-chan so surprised.”

“Wow, that stack of request forms… Did they finish all of them?”

“Those guys who passed the Bory exam, huh? They’re really something.”

We’re talking about ourselves. Are we being praised?

Every time she turned a page, Elina let out a strange cry.

I was about to mutter that it looked like a goblin, but since Fern looked over here, I didn’t say it.

I’m growing!

But then afterwards, when I said he had a voice like an orc, he got mad.

It seems that comparing things to monsters is not a good idea.

Finally calmed down, Elina said, “Please wait a moment,” and disappeared behind.

Then, they brought me a drawstring bag.

“Thank you for your patience. Here is your reward.”

The bag was quite small. But since I had only worked for one day, I thought it couldn’t be helped and opened it up, and it was shiny and golden inside.

Hmm, this is definitely――.

“Go-gold coins!? And this many!?”

Fern’s scream matched my memories.

Wow, and I just realized I still haven’t received the money from the front lines.

I have to go get it together with the giant sword.

“Considering the contribution to the achievement, this is still quite low. Some of the requests were high-priced. Also, the ears of elite goblins sell for a high price as materials, so I also included those for purchase.”

“Oh, I knew making the ear necklace was the right choice!”

I was told by Fern, “That’s not what I meant.”

Then Elena called out, “Shall we go?”

“Hmm, where?”

“Since you both resolved the pickled request so thoroughly, this is a celebration to thank you. Don’t worry, I’ll cover everything!”

“Wait, really? You did it, Fern!”

“Eh, th-that would be bad, wouldn’t it!?”

Then Elena approached Fern with a beaming smile.

“Please don’t worry about it. It’s just part of my job as the receptionist of the Adventurers’ Guild.”

“……I see. Then, I’m happy.”

“Fern, do you like alcohol?”

“Huh? It’s about average, but why do you ask?”

“Are you weak?”

“Wh-what do you think?”

“Do you feel lightheaded when you get drunk?”

“Eh? Y-yeah, that’s right.”

“Do you ever lose your memory?”

“I-I don’t understand.”

“Can you ride a unicorn?”

“What are you talking about?”

Satisfied with that answer, Elina chuckles.

“Alright then, Yamagishi-san, Fern-san, shall we go? I know a great place. Let’s drink a lot! My house is nearby, so if you get tired, you can stay over.”

“Oh, that sounds great! Easy, right?”

Awesome! Just as I said that, Fern grabbed the sleeve of my shirt. I wonder why.

But she’s such a good person, Elina.

When I was staring intently into Fern’s eyes, I licked my lips, but maybe my lips get dry easily.

“Elena-san, you have drool coming out of your mouth.”

“Feh!? N-no, I’m fine. Thank you, Fer-chan.”

“No, no. …Fel-chan?”

“N-Nothing’s wrong! Come on, let’s eat some meat! Meat!”

“Yay! I’m going to eat a lot of meat!”

Wow, I’m so excited. Being an adventurer is the best.

“It really looks delicious, doesn’t it?”

Elena, aren’t you talking while looking at Fern?
