Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 69

 

Chapter 69: There Is Always Better Than You



That day


We set out immediately.


We walked north without any problems


It's getting dark, so we set up camp in the plains.


"Well, I was wondering if you'd call me, and I'm glad you did, prince."


"Please don't call me 'Prince'. I'm fine with Quies as usual."


Druknen is this kind of guy.


He's always making fun of people he gets along with.


"But I'm still being called 'young maser' by the three of them, you know?"


"Doru's usual behavior is bad, isn't it?"


"No, of course not! We're not kids anymore."


"Now, you three, get your plates ready."


And those three are still being treated by Sylvie.


"Oh? Sylvie, is that the new portable soup?"


"Yes, it's a little more pungent than the last one. It's delicious."


It was probably created by Rumseil-san.


I want to eat the leg meat of the running dragon made by Rumseil-san again...


“But you all took good care of your swords, huh?”


"Of course!"


"What would Sylvie do if it was crude?"


"I'll hit you!"


Sylvie's reply.


"It's a sword made by Mother, so it's natural that you will take care of it, right?"


"Well, Sedona's sword is special though."


"Fue! Mine?"


Sylvie's mother. A sword made by Gotton-san


Made of the finest quality iron.


It was good enough for us


But Sedona was different.


During a training session with Teacher


When Sedona swung it down with all her might, it broke.


"I don't know how you can swing that long thing."


"I-Is that so? Compared to Father's sword, it's really light."


"That's because Teacher's sword is the craziest thing I've ever seen."


We hadn't seen each other for a long time, but we couldn't stop talking.


"Come to think of it! I finally defeated a troll last year, you know?"


Druknen suddenly starts bragging


"Those three are with you anyway, right?"


Sylvie immediately interrupts.


"It's obvious, isn't it? It's impossible to deal with a troll alone, you know? How about you, Sylvie?"


“Me? I... took down a Bighorn Bull. I was with Rumseil Nii-san.


The administration evaluates trolls as a higher threat.


"Hehe! I won, didn't I?"


"Doru... let's stop"


No more bragging


If you interrupt like that


"It's childish to brag about such things. Because there is always someone better."


"Ha? Who?"


"Sedona, what did you say you killed three months ago?"


Here it comes


"Um... an earth dragon from the desert, I think?"


Let me add something.


Adventurers registered with the Administration are assigned a rank.


Similarly, monsters are assigned ranks.


Monsters with a rank higher than that of an adventurer are considered extremely dangerous and are not permitted to be subjugated.


If it is not a special one, the running dragons are ranked 5


Trolls are ranked 10


Bighorn Bulls are ranked 8.


Then the earth dragon


If it is a special earth dragon from the desert of Elfriade...


"Sedona. What is your rank now?"


"Eh, I don't know. I haven't looked at my registration card lately."


"Don't you have it now?"


"Oh, it might be in my backpack."


Saying that, Sedona searched her luggage and found a card.


"There it is! Um... it's rank 28!"


“A-a-a-a-are you crazy!”


Doru, I know how you feel


"It's unheard of for a 16-year-old to be ranked 28."


"I'm ashamed of myself for bragging about it! You're only 16, though!"


Druknen like that is funny.


There are only a few dozen people in the history of the continent with the rank of 28.


Even at rank 16, a veteran adventurer may or may not reach it.


"What about you, Sylvie?"


I ask Sylvie.


All right!


I think that was a natural response.


"I've been busy studying etiquette. I'm only ranked 10, what about you?"


I know it's kind of strange when a noblewoman is an adventurer, but I'll leave it at that.


"I just turned 15 this year."


By the way, the trio is also 16, the same as Druknen.


"Well, we're still young, so let's aim higher from here."


"That's what we get from being under Teacher."


If you were to ask us what was the most painful memory I have ever had


We will all answer, "Teacher Shiro's practical training".


Second on the list is "running with Teacher Wince".


"I'm grateful, but I don't ever want to go through that again!"


"........."


"Sylvie. What's wrong?"


Suddenly Sylvie's lost in thought.


"Yep, Sedona?"


"What?"


"What is Shiro Nii-chan and Wince Nee-chan's rank?"


Oh, you're wondering how far ahead of us the teachers are.


"Can I say it?"


"Why?"


"Because I'm afraid everyone will get their hearts broken..."


"What? We were healed before we broke down, and we're here now, so it doesn't matter."


"63"


"That's too high!"


Ahh! Sylvie's heart broke!


"What's with the 63! I've never heard of such a rank! What are they subjugating!"


"Such as a flying dragon's nest or a subjugation of a herd of manticores?"


"Too crazy! That's too crazy!"


Flying Dragon's Nest


It is a difficult matter that the country would move


I don't even want to imagine a herd of manticores.


"Rank 63 with just the two of them... I don't think we can catch up."


"No"


"Eh?"


Sedona's verbal blade next pierces Druknen.


"Father is rank 89."


"...No way"


Druknen was fatally wounded


"Last month, the administration reported that he took down a dragon zombie."


Who the hell is Teacher?
