Pretty short but funny chapter, so here you go.

Volume 1, Chapter 4 – The man who fought desperately with a wild rabbit

When I woke up, it was an unfamiliar ceiling. Ugh, it has become routine. I had to say it.

“Oh, lad, you’re awake?”

“Bal… Drevin-san.”

“Hey, just now you were about to say baldy, didn’t you?”

“No, I couldn’t even think of doing that.”

“Guilty.”

The girl with the magic eye mercilessly gave her verdict.

“You know, I have a bit of a receding hairline but I’m not bald! Do you understand?”

I was threatened with his pointing finger, so I nodded while shaking.

“He is at a sensitive age. It’s better if you don’t touch the subject of his head.”

No, Tilika-chan, you shouldn’t be saying that.

“And so, what happened? They said you were found unconscious near the town and were carried in.”

Seems a kind person found me unconscious and was carried to the Adventurer’s Guild.

“A demon beast came attacking, at the end of the mortal combat we simultaneously struck each other.”

Uhum, I’m not lying. Tilika-chan isn’t reacting.

“Demon beast, this one?”

Drevin showed a scorched wild rabbit.

“It was dropped near you, so it was brought along.”

“At first the rhythm was good, but while fighting my stamina was exhausted, even then they kept attacking. I desperately fought, but close to where I could see the town I used up all my Magic Power too…”

“And in the end you came to a draw with the wild rabbit? What kinda demon beasts were you fighting?”

I can’t answer that. Do you think I could say that I was almost killed fighting wild rabbits?

“Show me your Guild Card.”

Suddenly my Guild Card was s.n.a.t.c.hed away.

“The Guild Card records the beasts and monsters subjugated. Didn’t they explain you that?”

I feel like I have certainly heard that. With subjugation requests, as long you get a kill it’ll be recorded on the Card, so it’s a convenient function since you don’t need to bring back the corpses.

“One, two… 21 wild rabbits? This many in a single day is incredible, but are you kidding me? You almost got killed by wild rabbits?!”

“They were terrifying enemies…”

It was really scary, I thought I was gonna die.

“Really?”

Drevin faced Tilika asking.
