The world's strongest hard worker

The fact that one city was destroyed by a swarm of monsters was unveiled and instantly discovered throughout Flaepara.

And it seems that many adventurers will participate in the unlimited number of emergency quests posted.

Though their lives are at stake, many adventurers choose rewards and honor more than that.

I was looking at the requisition with the intention of accepting it, but Fear was trembling next to it.

"Whoa, whoa, a city was destroyed by a swarm of monsters... isn't this a mess...?

Daijbu! Cucumber is just as strong!

Cu talked to Fea in "Remarks".

Everyone's getting used to Cu, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem to have a conversation in "Reminder", so I lifted the ban.

Everyone was surprised at first, but was immediately convinced that there was nothing to be surprised about, because he was River's subordinate.

It's obviously not a convincing reason...

"Cui-chan... thank you. But please leave a message because Cui is dangerous."

Gahn!

Cu opened her mouth wide and looked shocked.

I didn't think Fear was strong at all.

I thought I could fight with you this time....!

"When Cucumber grows up, let's fight together."

Cu nodded with tears.

Good boy.

"... but thanks to Cui, I've made up my mind. I'll take this quest."

Fear tightened the request form.

"You were scared until now. Are you okay?

"Well, it's always the case to be scared...."

"Yes, but this is a pretty dangerous quest, so you don't have to do it."

"No! It's okay! I've managed to get through this, and I'm in A Rank! It's useless to participate properly!

"... I didn't expect Fear to say that."

"Hey, what are you surprised about?! Excuse me, Mr. River!

"Ha ha ha, sorry. But I thought it was really stronger than when we first met."

"That's right. I'm doing my best, too."

Fear's chest was stretched out just not to say Echen.

"Yes, but you were just more scared at first, right?

"... if they say so."

"But now I can face it properly. It's amazing."

"Ah, well... even if you praise me, I won't say anything."

"No, I thought it was just growing up."

"Growth... Well, I'd be happy if you'd grow a little taller..."

It's a small feet compared to its original age, but it hasn't changed after a year.

Feer seems to care about that.

"Isn't that okay? The smaller you are, the easier it will be to avoid attacks."

"Well, that's interesting, but...."

"The smaller it is, the more feely it is."

"Ha! That's completely ridiculous!

"I'm not making fun of you. The smaller one is cuter and suits the rabbit."

"Are you cute!?

Fear blushed her face.

... speaking of which, Fear was vulnerable to the word cute.

Was that a ruse?

"In the meantime, I'm going to take a quest, so let's work together."

That's why I left the guild to escape.

◇

And that night.

I visited Kurt's room.

"Hey, Livel, good to see you."

"Oh, Kurt, I really need to ask you something."

"Please? Fine. Thank you for teaching me so much about ancient magic. I'll ask you anything."

"Thank you. First of all, Kurt, do you know about the emergency quest from the Alliance today?

"Of course, I'm going to join you. There's a lot of magic to try."

Many adventurers aim for reward, honor, and country, but Kurt is different.

It's purely magical.

Looks like he's really into magic.

That's why Kurt is strong.

"Ha ha ha, that's Kurt. ─ ─ I'm serious about this emergency quest."

"Heh, River, are you serious? That's interesting."

"I need Kurt to help me get serious. I want you to protect our adventurers and our people."

"... I see, but I'm a little worried about protecting everyone."

"It's okay. I didn't say I couldn't do it just because I was anxious. Actually, you don't think you can do that, do you?

"Fufu, well.... but I'm a little sorry."

"Too bad?"

"Unfortunately, I can't help but see how close Livel really is."

Kurt sighed with a laugh and spread his hands.

"But when I say I'm serious, I don't think it's that different from Kurt."

I said with a smile.

"That's not true. Anyway, I can't measure Livel's strength right now."

"... I wonder now."

"It's great not to deny it. That's why I'm so sorry. But River asked me to. I'll show you how to protect yourself."

"Thank you."

I sincerely thanked Kurt.

... but Kurt is right.

Over the past year, we have spared no effort to become stronger.

Thanks to this, I think it has become much stronger than when I came to Flaepara.

When I fought Kurt at the tournament, Kurt and I were almost at odds.

It's no wonder you won five times and lost five times after ten fights.

But now, honestly, I don't feel like losing once.

I sneaked out of Flaepara and used Skywalk to float over the sky.

And I saw a stupid black mass in the distance.

That's the herd of monsters that we adventurers and the Knights fight together.

... now you're ready to advance to S-Rank.

After that, it's just as violent as it gets.

"I'm looking forward to seeing how much I mean it."
