TN: heyaa hody, how"s life? sorry for the late update, just being lazy and still waiting for new gla.s.ses while the editor maybe…. quite busy?
[Editor: Arhael]
After the horse transaction was done, today schedules were finished. I brought Seiko and Urara as it is and returned to the inn.
“Yu-nee, Yu-nee, I want to ride on Urara.”
“Eh?”
“I want to ride on horse-san!”
Both Seiko and Urara have bodies weighing nearly 2 tons, it"s a so-called farming horse.
And you should know its height.
“Muu, Seiko please stay still okay, Alicia, come on”
“Wai!”
Alicia put her hands on the air and was being held up by me.
But that"s not the problem…
“Can"t, can"t reach it!”
Even with Urara"s back alone, it exceeds one and a half meter.
That means it"s higher than my height.
In the first place, because it was a.s.sumed that it"s not for riding, it doesn"t have saddle attached. Putting a person on a naked horse is very difficult.
“Umm …… Alicia, you can step on my shoulder, can you straddle by yourself?”
“I understand”
Looking at a little girl climbing up on a girl trying to get on a horse, people around me were giggling.
It doesn"t have malicious intent so it doesn"t make me feel bad, but it feels embarra.s.sing.
I wanted to look cool and let her get on the horse at first, but in the end she straddled by herself.
“Amazing, high! Urara is amazing!”
Alicia was riding on horseback and was clinging to the mane while cheering.
“Well, it"s good if you had fun”
I decided to return to the inn while holding two Hami in my hands. (EN: idk what is hani haha)
Whether Seiko and Urara are trained well, I was able to take them back without rampaging.
And Urara was obediently following me even though Alicia was riding on her.
It seemed that Keith-san gave me good horses.
When I entered the inn and asked Shinsan"s permission to use the stables, she gladly gave me permission.
We went around the back and put both of them in the stable near the backyard where we always practice sword.
It seemed that Alicia looked a bit lonely, but right now, it"s time for dinner.
“Come on, it"s time to eat”
“Urara, Seiko, I"ll come to play again”
“You can"t today. You have to take a bath too”
“Eh-, then afterward -“
“No, you are going to be smelly”
As expected the stables are filled with a beast smell.
If you come here after a bath, then there is no meaning in taking a bath.
“Anyway, we will have to try the prototype tomorrow, so please let Urara take a rest today.”
“Yes…….”
Alicia nodded while feeling dejected and I gave both of them fodder.
Since their body is this big, I thought that they are probably big eaters and gave them a bit more than other horses.
Like usual, we had meals, trained, took a bath and went back to our room, but as expected Alicia was still feeling restless.
It seems that she likes Seiko and Urara.
“Geez, it can"t be helped … well then, shall we buy 2 harnesses? I"m sure the guild has some.”
“Going!”
It"s already 9 in the evening. However, adventurers are still active.
So, Tarhan guild branch would be open for 24 hours a day.
It"s quite different from the guild in the village which closes at 9 because of lacking manpower.
We changed clothes to go out and took the Claymore for self-defense.
Alicia also carried Stick. Although it"s originally a one-handed sword, for a child"s body it will be the same as a two-handed sword.
She imitates me while boasting her chest and a peal of laughter broke out.
“Yosh, well then, let"s go out. It"s dangerous at night so don"t let go of my hand okay?”
“Roger”
This time I can"t endure looking at Alicia who was showing a salute and was laughing.
Although Tarhan seems to be relatively peaceful, even so, there are many drunk people at night.
So if you b.u.mped with drunkards, it often becomes troublesome.
Let alone that, even rude adventurers isn"t prohibited.
I firmly held Alicia"s hands and went to the guild while controlling her movement.
It seems that there are fewer people in Tarhan branch and there"s a somewhat lonely atmosphere.
When we pa.s.sed through the guild entrance, a loud voice with a concerned feeling mixed in it, echoed.
“It"s impossible!”
“Well, calm down”
I was looking at the source of the voice from the entrance, I saw Yaju-san and co sitting in the lobby.
Among them, there was Charon yelling at Yaju-san with a red face.
He had an unusual atmosphere which was always paying respect to Yaju-san.
“Why only me, isn"t there are also Rivi-san and Adrian-san!”
“In my policy, sense, and intelligence should be separated.”
‘I understand that Rivi-san is in charge of intelligence …… then Adrian-san -‘
“No matter how much you look at it, isn"t it impossible”
“Oy oy, what are you saying in front of the person?”
Because it seems somewhat complicated, I decided to go to the counter stealthily, but I was found out by Charon.
“Ah, Yumir-san! Yumir-san please also tell them, that"s impossible for me to be a leader”
“Haa!?”
d.a.m.n, this fellow, he has good eyes at such time!
Even so, Charon is the leader? Yaju-san is going to retire?
“Good evening, Yaju-san, are you going to quit being an adventurer?”
“Oh, it"s a good night. By the way, I"ve no intention of quitting.”
“Then, why would you give the role of leader to Charon …”
I went to the table to get involved with the conversation.
Alicia told me to go to Emily, but since I was forced, let"s take care of it this much.
Tetetete. All the big sisters were flocking to Alicia from the counter. No, please do your job properly.
“Ah, it"s because of this leg. It will be healed for a while, but as expected I can"t lead the party for another a month or two.”
“Are you going to have rehabilitation?”
“Well, it"s something like that and also about the battle against the golem last time –“
Golem …… the Moon Golem incident?
So Yaju-san whispered to me with a low voice.
“Our level went up. Even Charon was also raised from 3 to 6.”
By the way, Yaju-san went up from 9 to 11, Rivi-san and Adrian-san are from 8 to 10.
Even Irvin-san who is above mid-level is only 7.
But the increase rate is lower than me and Alicia. Considering this from in a game view, it seems like the experience was distributed based on the contribution of each party members.
Most experience values were distributed to me who made the most damage and the others got experience from a single shot from Rivi-san"s magic.
Even so, to make them level up at one stroke just from single magic, as expected it was quite a formidable enemy.
“If you only look at the level Charon is already full-fledged, but with that alone, it won"t make him a “First cla.s.s adventurer”.”
With the standard of this world, level 5 is the standard for an adventurer.
It"s only Alicia which has reached level 96 and me who has reached level 206 that are abnormal.
However, level is only an indicator of fighting power.
In order to make use of Charon"s “high concentration” fully, it would be difficult unless his “awareness” is raised.
“So, he will be the leader?”
“Ah, if he became the leader, he will always pay attention to the surroundings. I think it"s good for training”
“But a leader … isn"t the responsibility heavy?”
One wrong decision could drive the other members to danger.
As Yaju-san says Charon is an immature adventurer and to be honest, I can only think of him as a burden.
“Of course, if it"s this guy"s decision, I also thought so. However, that"s the same for me.”
According to Yaju-san, he believes that to improve a leader"s decision, reason and intelligence must be separated.
In other words, to eliminate bad decisions by arranging a strategist.
Until now, Yaju-san was responsible for reason and Rivi-san was responsible for intelligence.
Then, this time he is planning to put Charon on a rational role and is trying to make him grow. (EN: If you got suggestions other than "reason" please do tell.)
“Fumu……”
“Of course it"s not forever. It"s only for a month until I have recovered, so I decided to do something within that period”
“It"s impossible to replace Yaju-san for a month!”
“You won"t know until you try it.”
Charon is unreasonably persistent. In a sense, for him, Yaju-san may have been too great.
It"s not impossible if he feels like a burden if he becomes a subst.i.tute for a leader, I guess ……?
But it"s a good opportunity to grow for Charon. And what more, his s.e.xual hara.s.sment will decrease.
For my peace of mind, I would like him to accept it by all means.
“Isn"t it fine? I think it"s good for Charon"s growth too”
“Even if Rivi-san as the strategist said it"s fine, Adrian-san won"t give his consent won"t he!?”
“Eh, me? I don"t mind at all.”
“Adrian-san!?”
Adrian-san agreed about it willingly.
Of course, he would say so. If he doesn"t agree here, the troublesome leader role will come to him.
There"s no way for him who likes to be free to be a leader.
“The leader will be Charon, what about the vanguard? Yaju-san"s hole isn"t filled right?”
“There"s where Yumir is -“
“I"ll refuse it with all my might”
“An instant response. Well, let"s recruit from the guild so it can be managed somehow.”
Adrian, a scout, and a light warrior was quite skilled enough to the extent that he can"t be defeated by normal warriors.
It should be possible to fill the vanguard role, but the number of hands is insufficient.
At the first time we met, they were falling behind three shadow wolf, it can be said that it was the result of only having 2 vanguards.
Even though Yaju-san and Adrian-san prevented two of them, the other one might aim for Charon who was fainted.
The most important task of a vanguard isn"t to defeat an enemy but to support the frontline and the easiest way to support the frontline is to arrange the numbers.
This is also a part of the downfall of Magic Knights. Magic Knights who can"t hold a shield is the weakest among the front liners.
A large amount of Hp compensated for it, but the HP factor was lowered after an update.
This became a decisive factor and this unfortunate job fall down with tremendous speed.
“Well, good luck with it Charon. I believe you can do it.”
“… ………… I understand I"ll do it.”
Spiritless, I tried to comfort him lightly, but it seems that it touched Charon"s heartstrings somehow and he accepted it easily.
With that, Yaju-san"s party leader has changed temporarily.
