From the other party's description, he should have encountered a monster as powerful as the Lord Ainz Ooal Gown he had seen before, and suffered a complete defeat.

He didn't know how to help the other person get out of the shadow. All he could do was provide food, accommodation and companionship. If he wanted to come out, he still had to rely on the other person himself.

"Oh, what a pity."

Gazef continued to eat the bread silently, and he would continue his daily exercise routine.

At this time, Brian, who had already arrived on the street, was wandering around aimlessly and carelessly.

While passing by the market, he looked at the adventurers on the side of the road who were discussing the next mission to conquer the monsters, and the long swords they wore around their waists, and he couldn't help but feel deep sadness in his eyes.

In his opinion, these people are very weak and are no match for him together. Likewise, he himself is too weak to be worth mentioning.

Brian thought with extreme negativity in his mind that humans were very weak, their swordsmanship was about the same as that of scum, and humans were just inferior races.

The true peak cannot be reached even if we try hard, and the human race is absolutely unreachable. This is the reality of the peak.

This idea, if it were him in the past, he would never believe it and would find it extremely ridiculous, but now, after meeting the monster named Shalltear Bradfallen.

He saw it.

He also understood that the peak that humans could never reach, no, what he saw was not even the peak, because his strength was too insufficient, it was just a child's play.

The force obtained through the sword is simply boring, and it is all rubbish in the face of true power...

"Sorry, could you please borrow it?"

A warm hand suddenly tapped Brian's shoulder from behind, and he was immediately frightened to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.

Because he didn't have any sense of the other party's approach, the last time he felt it was from the monster named Shalltear Bradfallen.

Could it be that the other party is chasing me?

Panic instantly filled his heart, and he even subconsciously ignored the obviously male voice that sounded.

And it seemed that it was because Brian had been frozen in place, motionless, blocking the road. After waiting for a while, the person behind him also squeezed through the crowded people, walked around to him, and looked at him with a bit of surprise. .

Until then, Brian, who still couldn't detect the other party's footsteps even though he was so close, dared to look up at the other party stiffly, and then his tense body suddenly relaxed.

Because the other person was not the monster in his memory, but a man with a high ponytail, long black hair with red highlights, a dark red flame pattern on his left forehead, and a bag of apples in his arms.

"Are you okay?" Ji Guoyuan asked in a gentle voice.

"No, it's okay. Sorry, I was in a daze just now." Brian replied subconsciously, while also noticing the long knife worn on the other person's waist.

Ha, is he another guy who prides himself on ridiculous swordsmanship?

Brian thought in his mind, and was also deeply laughing at himself, but...

How did the other party approach me just now? Was it an accident?

He looked at the man in front of him who had no aura of being strong, and defined him as a weak one in his heart.

It seems that it was just an accident. Haha, is he so decadent now that he can be approached by such a guy without noticing? He is really a waste.

Brian chuckled to himself.

Jiguo Enichi, who didn't know what the other party was thinking, after confirming that the other party was not suffering from an old illness, nodded to him in a gentle and friendly manner and smiled lightly.

"Well, take care of yourself and see you later."

After saying that, he turned around and left with the bag of apples he just bought in his arms. When he met the crowded crowd in front of him, he passed through the crowd inexplicably in the blink of an eye, and then followed a man in a red cloak in front of him. , the little girl was startled by him again.

"Yeah! You, you bastard, stay away from me!!!"

"Sorry, I don't know the way here... Do you need me to emphasize the footsteps?"

"Who cares about you? You all told me to stay away from me!"

Enichi Tsukuni, who looked a little helpless, and the masked girl beside him, who was protecting his head with his hands and hiding from him, gradually disappeared into the crowd of people passing by.

Brian was left standing there silently for a long time with a dull expression on his face.

"What happened to that action just now?"

Blaine looked at his hands in disbelief and muttered to himself.

Just now, he didn't seem to see clearly how the other party passed through the crowd, and he didn't even hear the crinkling sound of the paper bag containing the apples.

"...Wait a minute, I don't seem to notice any aura from the other party from the beginning to the end?"

Suddenly aware of this, Brian finally couldn't help but run and followed him. He wanted to confirm something very important with the other party.

But probably because he had been idle for too long just now, even though he ran around anxiously in the market for a long time, he still didn't meet the other party again.

In the end, Brian could only stay in the alley with a blank look on his face, supporting the wall with his hands, lowering his head and breathing heavily, leaving sweat dripping on the dusty ground.

And he kept whispering unconsciously in his mouth.

"Please, please tell me, as a human being, how strong can you be with the sword in your hand...?"

Slowly, he knelt down weakly on the ground in this deserted alley, but his words were still a little incoherent, whispering with a trace of expectation that he himself was not aware of.

"Please, tell me, does the swordsmanship mastered by humans... have any meaning in existence?"

...

at the same time.

In front of a rather large building somewhere.

Gafan, with Liya beside him who was clutching his hand tightly, touched his chin and looked at the so-called Adventurer's Guild in front of him who had inquired about the location from the hotel owner, and fell into deep thought.

"Where's the legendary cat-eared poster girl?"

Looking at the uncle who was leaning against the door with a sinister expression on his face and his thick arms with bound muscles and scars, Gafan felt that his expectations for the life of an adventurer were beginning to plummet.

At this time, the system that was staying in the mind of its host also looked blank.

That's not what the story recorded in the database says. Let alone the cat-eared poster girl, the person guarding the door to help attract customers is not even a woman. Those arms are thicker than her humanoid thighs.

Although she doesn't care much about human gender, but...

It looks so weird.

And as if he noticed Gafan's gaze, the uncle leaning at the door waved his hand casually with a hint of enthusiasm and said in a rough voice.

"Hello newcomer, my name is Mao Er and I am an experienced adventurer. Do you want to come in and register?"

Gafan: "..."

what to do? He kind of wanted to go back.

At this time, Liya suddenly gently pulled his hand and looked up at him timidly, with a bit of confusion on her expression, as if wondering why she didn't leave.

"......fine."

Gently touching the opponent's head, Gafan smiled helplessly.

"Let's go in...and this old man, please help us with the registration procedures. It's my first time here, so I'm not familiar with it."

"Okay, Shenghui ten copper coins!"

Chapter 93: Don’t worry, it’ll be over in an instant

"How should I put it? That uncle is surprisingly talkative."

After walking out of the door of the Adventurer's Guild, Gafan looked at the copper-yellow sign he had just received, sizing it up and saying.

"Yes, and he seems to be quite experienced. When I suddenly appeared, he was the only one present who was not startled. He even gave me a thumbs up with a generous smile."

System, who followed beside him and was chewing a slime bun, also nodded in affirmation.

"Uh, system, please don't show up suddenly. You'll scare others...wait, did you eat a few of my slime buns?" Gafan was stunned for a moment and then asked suspiciously. Look at each other.

He couldn't bear to eat it himself.

They are all planning to save those delicacies from Rimuru-sama’s series for the holidays to savor again.

"What, can't I eat it?" The system looked at the other party with a little doubt, and took another small bite in his mouth.

"...Forget it, as long as you are happy."

Gafan helplessly touched the other person's head. At this time, Liya, who was silently following him on the other side, suddenly gently pulled his hand and asked softly.

"Um...Gafan, who is she?"

"Huh? Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced him to you yet."

Looking at the other party's confused and timid eyes, Gafan thought for a while and chuckled.

"This child's name is Wen Chao Gong. You can just call her System. She is my... uh, partner, right?"

"Partner?" Liya tilted her head, and the expression on her face seemed to be even more confused, "Do you mean someone who is very close to you?"

"That's okay to understand. After all, this child is indeed the person closest to me."

When he said this, Gafan glanced at the system beside him and took out a slime bun from the storage space, which he was chewing happily.

There was a hint of depression in his eyes, and a hint of subconscious doting.

"This, this is it."

Liya lowered her head, grabbing her clothes with her little hands, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this moment, she, who is 1.5 meters tall, is wearing a light, black and white cloth shirt, with a sturdy and compact brown waist bag hanging on her waist. Her lower body is wearing dark tight-fitting trousers, and her feet are wearing a plush inner warm jacket. animal skin boots.

There is also a short sword with a light handle on the side waist.

This piece of equipment was just bought for her by Gafan this morning.

Liya thought about what happened when she woke up early this morning.

She sat on the bed, holding the white dumpling pillow in her arms, listening to the gentle but serious words of the man in front of her who had rescued her from hell.

"Liya, I'm sorry, for some reasons, I can't let you stay with me, but I can't just leave you alone, so..."

"I decided to leave the choice to you. I can take you to a village in the countryside near the forest, called Kahn Village, and walk on the 'Avenue of Stars'. The people there should be nice. I believe you can live a good life there. A stable and peaceful life.”

"Or...come and be an adventurer with me for a while. During this period, I will find a way for you to master enough self-protection strength and self-reliance before leaving, and then let you Have the ability to choose your own life.”

Listening to this, Liya silently buried the words "Can I not separate from you" in her heart, because she already knew the answer.

She doesn't want to be willful, nor does she want to embarrass the other person.

After a moment of silence, she looked at the other party and asked softly.

"Then, if I choose to be an adventurer, can I stay with you longer?"

"Well, probably."

"Well...then I want to be an adventurer with you!" Liya made her choice and said in her heart.

Then, she needs to become very powerful so that she can help you and find you again after you leave.

The girl who had escaped from hell and witnessed the dawn secretly made a decision in her heart.

The memory ends.

After Liya hesitated for a moment, she took the initiative to talk to System, who was still eating slime buns.

"Hello, my name is Liya."

This made the system look at her in surprise, then after thinking about it, he reached out and pulled out a slime bun out of thin air and handed it over.

"Here, something delicious."

"...Thank you." Liya looked at the other party's cute expression of enjoying the food, stretched out her little hand to take the steamed bun, thanked her softly, and then started to eat it.

Gafan was counting how many slime buns were left in the storage space: "..."

You guys are really not polite to him at all!

Scratching the back of his head speechlessly, Gafan thought about the first commission he had just accepted.

It was a commission about going to a remote city to help find the lost pet cat of a businessman's child. It sounded like a task specially prepared for newcomers, and the reward was only twenty-five copper coins.

Last night, he and Liya rented a double room in the hotel and asked the boss to help prepare three meals. It only cost twenty copper coins a day.

"So I am so rich now?"

Gafan thought about the small pile of gold coins placed in the storage space, raised his eyebrows and touched his chin with his hand.

The purchasing power of the currency issued by this country is surprisingly low. When I leave this world, I will leave the rest of my expenses and the money earned from my adventurous life to Liya. It should be able to Let this child have no worries about food and clothing for a long time.

In the next period of time, he will also help this child master the ability to live alone in the future, but that is the saying, his own "mantra" cannot be passed on to others, what can be taught... .
