Unidentified Monster of the Demon Forest
I was still unable to return home from the Adventurer's Guild.
This was to hold a meeting regarding an unidentified monster that appeared in the [Demon Forest].
Right now, a messenger from the Adventurer's Guild is going to the Knights' office and asking for the Knights' Commander to come over.
While I was having tea with Sebas in the Guild master's room, the Guild master returned with Bear-san.
"First of all, your treatment of Dagor's party today was very helpful. Thank you very much."
After saying that, the Guild master and Bear lowered their heads.
"They are the top party in the adventurers' guild here in the barony, and they are good supervisors of the other adventurers and good mentors for the younger and newer members of the guild. They were well respected by the other adventurers, so it was fortunate that we did not lose them."
"Well, boy's magic was amazing! Even though I heard it, I didn't think it was that amazing! And it was great that you showed off your magic in front of everyone. Thanks to it, they seem to like you a lot."
Saying that, Bear-san grinned.
I wonder what. It makes me strangely annoyed.
In such a situation, the Guild master once again bowed to me.
"And I am very grateful to you for granting my unreasonable request for cooperation. We are all unwilling to put you, a young boy, in danger, but we believe that with you in the rear, we can all participate in the exploration and subjugate it with peace of mind. And in the worst case scenario, when the pioneer village is attacked by an unidentified monster, more lives will be saved if you are there. That's what I'm hoping for."
It's itchy to be expected more than expected......
So I'll give him a straightforward answer.
"Since I was born as the son of a feudal lord, this is only natural. I will do my best to live up to your expectations."
The three people were surprised by these words.
Eh? Why?
At that time, Bear-san said something.
"It's a shame. You're not the heir..."
Sebas reacted to this and glared at Bear-san with a terrible look. I've never seen Sebas look like this.
Bear-san was a little taken aback by this, and then hurriedly apologized.
"No! I'm sorry. It was a slip of the tongue."
Apparently, the Guild master felt a little relieved after I showed my motivation, and he told me a detailed story.
This time, Dagor-san's party, which had suffered damage, was planning to go halfway up the [Demon Forest] along with other parties.
However, three hours after entering the forest, they were attacked by a mysterious monster.
The monster looks like a wolf, but it's nearly three times the size of a wolf.
Unfortunately, the party's item manager used a rare recovery potion due to an enemy attack, forcing the party to retreat.
Meanwhile, the leader of the party, Dagor-san, who served as a rear guard, was attacked by the enemy's claws while trying to escape with his companions.
Just at that time, he met up with another party. With the support of that party, they were able to escape with Dagor-san in their arms.
It is not clear if it realized the disadvantage of the numbers when they joined up with the other party, but the monster did not pursue them and it retreated back to the forest.
After retreating to the pioneer village, they rented wagons from the village and hurried back to the Adventurer's Guild in the capital.
During this time, Dagor-san's life was saved by a blood booster that the item manager had. They managed to get to the guild by giving it to Dagor-san.
By the way, the person in charge of the items had a skill called [Item User]. This skill is said to increase the effectiveness of items.
That's why Dagor-san was able to survive with just the blood booster.
As a skill maniac, I want that skill.
I should have copied it at the time of treatment.
At present, there are only the party that supported Dagor-san's party and the resident knight in the pioneer village, and it is unknown when the mysterious monster will attack.
Therefore, we should hurry to the pioneer village, but even if we leave now, we will arrive there tomorrow evening. It's not a convenient time to explore.
Therefore, we will leave tomorrow morning.
In the meantime, we will gather as much strength as we can and head for the pioneer village with the knights.
If we leave tomorrow morning and arrive the next morning, we can start exploration immediately.
As we were having a cup of tea after the conversation, the receptionist announced from outside the room that the leader of the Knights had arrived.
I wondered if I would have to listen to this one more time with Grandpa Malberk.
I'm a little tired and I want to eat and sleep, though.
Thanks for the chapter
