"Oh, Jade. Long time no see."

Gin and the others stopped by the guild on their way home from the labyrinth and encountered Jade, arguably Oswald's most apprentice.

I was just talking to Oswald the other day about it, and there's a natural grin on Gin's face as well.

"It's been a long time indeed. Are you celebrating your B-rank promotion?

Jade smiles back at you for being stuck. It hasn't been a month since the Jins were promoted to B-rank, but I used to feel like we hadn't seen each other in an extra long time because we used to be together on the training field.

- Hey, Jade.

And I guess this is why we have less chance of seeing Jade in the training ground. Jade was not alone, and there were those around him who seemed to be members of that party.

"Oh, right. Jin, I'll introduce you. They're the ones I'm partying with right now."

Called Jade said so as he pretended to be casual wind, but Jin felt his face somewhere happy.

"I'm a C-rank hasta... I'm avant-garde, just like Jade."

"Ha ha, Hasta. I'm talking to you in a way that doesn't suit you."

A Dwarf man who spoke to Jade earlier started introducing himself first, but although it can be assumed that he would be young, his real age is unknown because of the beard's brilliance. Even younger would definitely be older than the Jins. Jade was going into the tone of Huster, who was such a senior.

"Bullshit, that's right. It's that (...) 'Feelendunk'!?

In fact, he was a twenty-four year old hasta, but there's a reason he responded to these kinds of pre-twenty Jins. The Jins "Feerendunk" were now widely recognized as one of Lienz's leading B-rank parties.

It's still B-ranked and the sun is shallow, but the Jins have stopped deluding labyrinth reach hierarchies, drop items, etc. since B-ranked, and it's now widely known that the depth of reach of the Jins' "Feelen Dunk" labyrinth is Dantoz's best.

Besides, its members have all the letters, such as Jin's "Wooden Sword" and Aria's "Ice Witch". Now Elsa had the name "The Blessed Sword" because of its bravery and strength to wave the Great Sword, and "The Virgin to Fight" because Rachel also had the strength to recover but lose the warrior face there.

Moreover, their prowess is not a vague rumor of unknown authenticity, and as long as the timing is right, they can see and ascertain the training they are conducting on the guild's athletic field and the simulated battle against A-ranked Oswald.

Not one had complex thoughts about the young and prestigious Jins, such as their name and track record of 'magic fever' resolution, but at least everyone admitted it in terms of their strength.

Some complex emotions were also directed, especially about the environment in which Jin was placed, but the Jins "Feerendunk" was basically noticed in a good way.

"Ha, Jin doesn't care. See?"

But Jade's trust that this guy can't change to that extent is thick, even in a situation where it's not surprising to be in such a slight shape.

And the trust was delightful to Jin.

"Oh, of course. Talk to me normally if you're one of Jade's people. Jade taught me a lot."

"Hey, what are you talking about?... Hey, you guys introduce yourselves"

Jade urged his buddies to do so with a slightly sharp look, but he can also see a slight light there. Each of the other members who were prompted started introducing themselves.

"Ah, oh. I'm a lesbian... I use dirt magic. Greetings."

Looking in his early twenties, this lesbian is a middle-bodied, middle-bodied man wearing moveable leather armor. I guess even magical mains is still a must for melee hearts. On the left and right of his hips were fitted long swords and wands respectively.

"I'm Pete, say hello! Oh, I'm a warrior too!

This man, who talks well with his cat ears picky, is the youngest of them and probably about the same age as the Jins. If you take the earlier Hasta as the heavily armed defensive type, this Pete is in turn a lightly armed offensive type. It is commonly said that cat beasts excel in speed, but it was light leather armor that wrapped around them as if to affirm it.

All in all, few of their gear is made of luxury materials such as black iron, which are relatively easy to obtain. Even Dwarf's huster, who seems to be the strongest because of his racial characteristics, was made of steel and his weapon, and the only one made of black iron is Jade's sword, which he just newer the other day. That was not for any reason of lack of funding, but there were also level problems such as not reaching muscle strength (STR) dealing with black iron, etc., which was heavier than that. They are arguably the average C-rank figure in some ways as they grow and improve their gear in the future.

For the record, the fact that Elsa and Rachel had originally been blessed with qualities was also distorted by the fact that Elsa and Rachel had started using their weapons in a comparatively early period of time.

"Well, now there's four of us with these guys. The name of the party is Jade and me."

"Pfft."

To that unexpectedly stiff Jade and other jokes, Jin was unwittingly blowing out.

"... Jade, do you really want me to name him that?

Huster lowered his voice and roared, but he doesn't seem to be seriously angry. That was the same for Lesson and Pete, and they were smiling as well as Jin.

"Ha, I'm kidding. I'm sorry, give me a break."

I guess Jade is familiar with them enough to make such jokes. Jade, who came from outside with Oswald, was able to find company in this rienz. This sight that makes it disappointing is also a delight for Jin. Nature and Gin's grin deepen,

Also, the weird tension felt by Jade's people thanks to that joke was already foggy, and the arias watching were spilling couscous and laughter.

"Ha, nice to meet you. Then it's our turn now. As you may already know, we're the Feerendunk. So, I'm Leader Jin, and..."

And for some time afterwards, Jin and the others had a nice conversation with Jade and his people.

"- Oh, you met him, too. Looks like he finally found some company."

A few days later, after a mock fight with Oswald, who was again there, Jin was telling him that he had met Jade and his people.

"Jade's people don't have any luck either. Because of the labyrinth, the leader and the restorer decided to retire the adventurer on the occasion of their marriage."

Although congratulations, it would certainly be hard not to be able to move as I would have thought before the chance of a labyrinth because of it.

"I couldn't help but see those guys I was training while I was looking for new members, and I started doing my archery, and that's how I got to know Jade. On that edge, Jade started attending those extraordinary parties, but I guess that suited him. During this time, Jade reported that he decided to formally throw a party with them."

"Good for you"

Those Jades have been out of town on request since morning and are not on the athletic field (here) right now.

There will be no other word to preach in front of the smiling Oswald. Oswald grinned even deeper at Jin's words.

"It was one of the reasons I came to Lienz. I can't throw a party with him, and I'm glad I found someone I can trust."

Jin was just a little pranky, even though he nodded inside to Oswald, who called it smudging.

"... do you miss me?

"Ha. That's not true. You can't help it if you're stuck with me forever."

Oswald replies with a laugh at Jin's teasing. Regardless of Oswald's relationship with Jade, it's not weird when it comes to age, even parents and children. of Oswald. Maybe this is the feeling of a father who rejoices in independence.

"Besides, I'm still going to be in this city for the time being. They need to work out more, too."

Hopefully, the level will rise quickly thanks to the labyrinth. No further growth is desirable without simultaneous development of skills as well as the status thus raised. Also, even from the composition of the party, I want a recoverer, and in time they will also tour their new companions.

Oswald was going to put it together and take care of it.

"Then I have to work out so I can't lose too"

As the Jins once did, people can grow big because of something. Jin remembered the strange certainty that the Jades would do the same.

"... in your case, I think the better."

Even though there is a level difference and it still doesn't extend to Oswald, Jin's skills are getting pretty meaty on Oswald's. Moreover, the growth rate of Jin's status is quite high, so catching up won't be that far either.

Oswald was returning it with a bitter laugh against an overly dependable junior.

- That was the usual sight in a way. There was a smile, and trust in each other.

But still, they remain the same as those who chose the dangerous and neighboring profession of adventurer.

And beyond being an adventurer, sometimes being attacked by unreasonable dangers, Gin will be able to poke at that fact.

"Mr. Oswald!

The door of the athletic field opens with a noise and a loud scream sounds on the spot.

"Jade did!

One of his party members, Pete, the cat beast man we just talked about the other day, was there with a body full of sweat and dust.

And in that voice, there was perhaps a mixture of sad things.
