[It's dawn. Get up]

Good morning. It has become a habit to get up with dawn. Of course, the reason for getting up early is a morning bath.

After enjoying the bath in the morning, spend time in the room. It's the best time.

"Alan, let's have breakfast"

There was a knock and Clelia came to invite me for breakfast.

When you go to the cafeteria, it seems like the other merchant's merchants you just saw out yesterday check out. Will we be the only guests?

Breakfast does not seem to be selectable. Freshly baked bread, butter, jam, salad, fried egg, fried egg, fried meat and vegetables. Well, it's a luxury breakfast. It is a pity that there is no rice.

Clelia is changing as promised.

"Ah, for now, the only guests today are the guests, so if you have any requests for dinner, ask him and Dad ..."

"Hey, is your father cooking? Speaking of which, can rice be served at this restaurant?"

"Of course you can. Dad likes rice and really wants to serve rice, but bread is still popular because bread is still popular."

"I guess. I like rice by all means. Rears are better with bread and rice?"

"The rice I ate yesterday was delicious. I don't care at all with rice."

"I don't care."

"So, I'm glad we serve rice instead of bread."

"understood"

Eat breakfast and take a break and it's time to leave. The meeting is 9 o'clock before the adventurer's guild, but let's go early.

About 20 minutes ago, when I went to the guild, Jonas was already waiting with about ten men. The merchant who can be expected is different.

"Good morning, Jonas."

"Thank you, Alan-san. Thank you for today."

"This is what you want."

I immediately left with three carriages. I think it was about three hours by chariot. The location of the hideout is mapped by Nanom, so do not get lost.

Leave the city and follow the highway towards the hideout. We were on the leading carriage, so we were the guides. Jonas is the master. I leave my vigilance to Nanom and I have no time to do anything, so I'm free.

"Erna, why don't you use wind magic at the tree branches right away?"

"... I see. This is the magic of air bullets. In a nutshell, it's the magic of hitting air masses."

Elna closes her eyes for about 15 seconds, concentrates, and raises her arm toward the upper branch of the tree.

"Air Barrett!"

Because it was a lump of air, it didn't look like a fireball. Suddenly, there is a bang in the top branch of the tree, and the leaves fall.

"Oh! This is amazing, is this a wind magic?"

It doesn't look like a fireball and doesn't make any sound, so there's no need to worry about it being evaded. It doesn't seem to be a big deal, but it works well for humans. It would be a tremendous advantage if you could suddenly defeat your opponent.

Play back and confirm the flow of magic that was recorded by Nanom. After all, the flow of fireball and magic power are the same.

After that is an image? The air mass is like a typhoon swirling. It's like an image of being compacted tightly by the wind rotating at high speed. Push this mass with the wind and hit the target.

"Is it like this?"

Mamon has already been loaded by Nanom. Activates magic by aiming at the virtual window with the top of the tree.

Fire air bullet!

A lump of air flies with a bang. Since the air mass was invisible to the eyes, it was seen in the magic display mode in advance.

When it landed on the tree with a bang, a lump of air caught the tree and burst. The thick branches were broken, the leaves splattered, and the top of the tree was bare. But it's OK for the first time.

"Eh! What is it now?"

Elna is surprised.

"Well, this is my first time?"

The current magic is disqualified in that it doesn't make the sound that airbaret has. The air mass may have been a bit too large now. Let's also reduce the number of rotations a little.

Aim at another tree and fire.

This time it flew silently and landed on a tree with a bang. A large amount of leaves are falling. Power is lower than last time, but it is more than expected.

After firing several times in succession, I was able to achieve a satisfactory magic. It has a range of only about 20 meters, but it is sufficient for interpersonal magic. By the way, the magic power I used was about the same as a fireball.

Looking around, Clelia, Elna, and Jonas both looked pompous.

"It's such an idiot ... I can't do this ... without concentration and utterance ... Lear, what's going on?"

"She's such a man, Alain. I've always been surprised."

After all, Elna seems to be able to use only the magic of the magic book. Clelia's magic is getting better, and her practice will improve.

"Is there another wind magic?"

"... Of course, there is. The next magic is called a wind cutter. It cuts by cutting a blade made of air."

Oh, something looks amazing. Already, Elna is closing her eyes and focusing. About 20 seconds have passed.

"Wind cutter!"

An illuminated plate-like object appears at the tip of Erna's arm and flies toward the tree with a swooshing sound. He hit the tree and cut off the top of the tree.

"Wow! Great!"

But what is this image? Why can a board shine with the wind? I have no image at all.

Fireballs and Flame Arrows had a vague image of burning magical power. Even if this is scientifically unreasonable, there is nothing we can do about it.

However, the wind cutter could not be imagined at all. Is the wind moving at high speed and cutting things?

"Well, Erna. What kind of image do you use magic for?"

"Is it an image? I don't have an unusual image. I just follow the magic book process."

Speaking of which, it was. I'm doing the magic book process instead of imaging.

I was in trouble. The image where things can be cut by the wind ... The image that the wind blows with tremendous force and cuts things. Is it like a rotating saw that rotates at high speed? In this case, it is not a metal blade but a wind blade.

However, it would be dangerous if such a rotary blade was rotating near your body when firing. What if you make the blade appear when you hit the goal? A rotating blade that explodes when hitting a target. May work.

The first image is the same as Air Barrett. A disk-shaped air bullet that rotates at high speed, and a rotating blade that explodes when hitting a target. Set a goal with a good image.

Wind cutter firing!

An air bullet flies toward the target with a bang. Burning when hitting a tree! It burst with the loud sound.

Well, the trees aren't cut. It looks like an explosive version of Air Barrett.

Looking around, everyone is stunned. Because it was quite noisy.

"Sorry, I failed."

Apparently, the image of explosive spread was too strong. What is important is the image of an ultra-thin rotary blade that grows at a stretch.

Focus and solidify the image.

Wind cutter firing!

Also, an invisible air bullet flies toward the target with a bang. When the tree hit the tree, a shining rotary blade appeared and cut the tree without delay.

Alright, success!

The rest is the range and power. By the way, the magic power used is about the same as the Flame Arrow.

Release the wind cutter while changing the distance little by little. The effective distance is about 30 meters.

I tried aiming at the middle of a thick tree and released it. The big tree makes a noise and falls. Oh, I'm glad I didn't fall on this side of the highway.

"great……"

Turning around, Leah and Elna were astounded.

"Thank you, Elna, you've taught me good magic."

"... I don't teach at all, the current magic isn't a windcutter, it's another, even greater magic. I've never seen or heard it."

"I couldn't imitate a real wind cutter. Is there any other wind magic?"

"I don't know anyone else in my house because there was only a magic book about Air Barrett and Wind Cutter."

"I see. Well, there may be more if you go to the magic guild."

After a short while, a familiar scenery came into view. This is where the bandits hit us.

The last time I went to Ajito, it was a walk, so it took time to find a way to go by carriage, but I managed to get on the carriage to Ajito.

Leave the carriage to Leah and Erna and look inside the hideout. The luggage doesn't seem to be particularly devastated.

After telling Jonas that there was no problem, the employees began carrying luggage.

When about half of the luggage had been loaded onto the carriage, the detection magic responded. Seven hundred meters away, the number is ten heading here. The movement is like a greyhound. I haven't noticed it yet.

"Lear, Erna and Greyhound are approaching. You may notice this."

"What is the distance and number?"

"Six hundred fifty meters, ten heads."

"Why do you know that?" Said Elna.

"I used detection magic."

"Detective magic ... is there something like that?"

"It's terrible, I noticed. It may have remained even in the smell. Mr. Jonas! Greyhound. Please evacuate inside the hideout."

"As expected, we can't do anything with three of us. Let's think of a way to evacuate and block the entrance to the hideout!"

"No, I don't have to do that. I can do it alone."

"No, Alan, give me three heads."

With Clelia's Flame Arrow, you can certainly have three. There is a rifle and it will be fine.

"Okay, three heads. I'll be with you. Elna is the rear escort."

"That's not possible!

"Well, look, Elna. My magic has improved a lot."

"... I see. I won't let you approach him."

The distance is about two hundred meters. Just right, I just wanted to try the throwing knives I got from Beck and others.

"Alan! Are you okay?"

Jonas is shouting from the entrance of the hideout.

"No problem! Please watch it there!"

"It's another hundred meters. If the rear uses magic, I'll adjust to it. Don't panic because one more will be knocked down with a knife."

Greyhound has appeared. After doing a little bit of a gesture, they attacked at once as if they saw it to be advantageous.

Rear has already raised his arms. Greyhound's head was less than thirty meters, and three arrows of Flame Arrow emerged.

The fire arrows fly towards the three heads that were running at the top. The greyhound looked at the arrow and took evasive action, but the fire arrow changed its trajectory and stood on the greyhound. Controlling the three arrows, Clelia has also improved steadily.

I've already loaded the magic and I've locked on the remaining seven. Five of them are frame arrows, one is a wind cutter, and the other is a throw knife.

First, launch a flame arrow!

Five fire arrows appeared, protruding from the five foreheads behind them. This is the super fast version I tried in the Adventurer's Guild. After all, there is no time to avoid if the speed is fast.

Next, fire the wind cutter!

Greyhounds do not take evasive action because the air bombs fly with a bang and are not visible. He hit the greyhound that was behind him and expressed a rotating blade of light to make it two.

Throw a knife at the last greyhound. The distance was no more than ten meters, so he stood on Greyhound's forehead. Yeah, easy to throw and a good knife. I guess the balance is good.

"Okay, it went well."

Cheers are coming from the hideout.

"Everything is amazing ... Leah-sama really improved! I was surprised!"

"That's right, I got Alan to teach me. Erna will surely improve if I learn from Alan."

"Is that so? Alan, please! Please let me know."

"I don't mind teaching at all, but stop Alan. Call me Alan because I'm already a friend."

"... Okay ... Alan"

For some reason she has turned her cheeks red and shy. Is it a habit not to be discarded by men and women in this world?

"It's amazing magic! I'm surprised! I'll kill ten greyhounds in no time."

Jonas was coming out of the hideout.

"Well, we're adventurers. There's no danger anymore. You can resume your work."

Employees resumed work, and Lear and Elna guarded to make sure. I decided to retrieve the magic stone from Greyhound.

Disassemble with an electromagnetic blade knife and collect magic stones. The one who cut it in half with a wind cutter was very gross with blood and meat splattering. Try not to use it on creatures if possible.

I left my luggage and left the hideout. It is the first carriage as well.

Oops, what is this reaction? Responds to detection magic. From our experience, the response is blackbird, blackbird. It looks like it is parked in a tree in the direction of the carriage. If you don't escape as it is, I will kill you. I came to a position where I could see it shortly.

"Rear, there is a blackbird one hundred meters away."

"Let me do it!"

"Okay. I wish I hadn't escaped. I'm stuck on that tall tree in this direction.

As expected, he is working and cannot stop hunting.

"Try"

The range of the Flame Arrow is about fifty meters. It depends on your luck whether you run away.

As the carriage approaches, Blackbird has not noticed yet. Clelia is already armed.

Oh, noticed. At that moment, Clelia fires a flame arrow. There is still 70 meters, but unfortunately it does not reach.

However, unexpectedly, the Flame Arrow continued to fly and flew toward the already-flying Blackbird, hitting it.

I was surprised! Probably, he imagines that he would fly longer with magical powers than usual. It was a blind spot. I don't notice such a simple thing. I still feel stiff.

Cheers rise from the carriage behind. Celia was standing on the bed, so she was watching.

I'm sorry I had Jonas stop the carriage and collected Blackbird. Blood removal can be done while running in a carriage.

"What if you cooked at the inn? Blackbird is delicious."

I've heard about dinner requests, so I'm sure they'll cook.

"That's good, let's do it, but I'd rather have Alain cook it. Can you rent a kitchen?"

"Well, how about that, because it's a professional cook's kitchen? Isn't it difficult?"

When I was told that, I gradually wanted to cook. I want to use the seasonings I bought yesterday.

"Let's ask for no good."

"Let's do so!"

After that I was able to get to the town without any problems. After signing the request form in front of the adventurer's guild, he leaves Jonas.

"Thank you, Alan today. I was saved."

"No, it's a job. Thank you for such a good job."

"Okay. If we have any information, we'll contact 'Horoshi'."

"Thank you"

Then, submit the request form to the guild and redeem it. There was the usual receptionist so I went to that window.

"I have achieved the request, please." Submit the request form.

"I see. Oops, they're really Alan. The rating is" S "."

"What's your rating?"

"Yes. I'm checking if the client is satisfied. Usually it's B or C. The sum of this evaluation and the amount of the request is a measure of the rank up of the adventurer. Did you do anything that pleased the client? "

I see, a customer satisfaction survey. I'm doing various things.

"Nothing in particular. Well, I got rid of the greyhound, so I did it."

"Eliminate ... How many heads were you?"

"Ten heads."

"Eh !? Ten heads? There are three Shining Stars? Did the client fight?"

"No, just us"

"In other words, did three of them repel ten Greyhounds?"

"Yes, all were exterminated."

"... I see why the rating is" S. "Here is the reward of 5,000 Guineas. If you sell greyhound magic stones, please go to that window."

Speaking of which, the magic stone could be sold. I completely forgot why I was collecting them.

"By the way, how much is a greyhound magic stone?"

"Um, one greyhound is one hundred and forty-five guineas. This is a magic stone's original price of three hundred fifty guineas, and fifty guineas are added as a reward for subjugation, so it is better to sell it to a guild than to sell it elsewhere It's a benefit. "

"Yes, thank you."

It's a pretty good price. It is the amount of money that you can stay at a regular inn four days.

"Well, can I keep this gemstone without selling it? Look, I want to keep as much as I can because my leather armor uses gemstones."

I also want to try it.

"Of course I don't mind.

"What about Elna?"

"Of course, I'm okay with Alan."

"It's only three o'clock, why don't you stop by the inn and go to the magic guild?"

"Let's do so!"

When I returned to the inn, there was an ordinary girl, so I asked her about the kitchen.

"It's a weird request, can't I borrow a kitchen with ingredients and cook with me?"

"Well, how about? I'll ask my dad for a moment."

After a while, a strict middle-aged man came from behind. Did he make the fancy food he ate yesterday?

"Do you want to cook?"

"Yes, I'm a hobby of cooking. I just caught a delicious blackbird on the job and wanted to cook."

Blackbird was taken out of the bag.

"Oh, it's a big blackbird. It looks good. Well, today you only have customers, and I can lend you if you can look sideways."

"Well, I'm glad that I use my own seasonings as much as possible. So how much do you do?"

"I don't need any money. I don't bring any ingredients. So when do you start?"

"I'm going to have to do something a little later, and I'm going to come back in the evening, maybe."

"Then, I'll prepare it. Should I cut it into appropriate parts and cut it?"

"Don't help it. I'll be glad to help you, then later."

I handed Blackbird and left the inn.

"He's a pretty sullen man."

Clelia was unusually angry at the father's attitude. Certainly it may not be the attitude toward the luxury guest. The chef on the back is right.

"I see. I don't have to worry about being a little sulky."

"No, it's fine if Alan doesn't mind."

What is a magic guild like? I'm really looking forward to it. We started walking towards the magic guild.
