Chapter 9 (2/2)

「Ralph!」 (Gresch)

Gresch admonished Ralph

「Sorry…my friend so rudely…」 (Gresch)

「I don't mind, I'm used to it already」 (Ardis)

To Ardis who showed a bitter s er than the, it was natural to doubt their own ability and refuse to adive He wondered if there was so with his reaction

「I want to thank you once again Thank you for risking your life to save us My name is Gresch, my friends are Jio, Konia and Ralph」 (Gresch)

「Ardis」 (Ardis)

Ardis replied

「That…Ardis The price for the high grade medicine…will you wait a while? As expected for us to afford two high gradehis introduction, Gresch appeared to feel a bit sorry

「The price? Because I hadn't intended to sell it in particular and because it is the duty of veteran mercenaries to help out novices, don't mind it」 (Ardis)

「Ha! I don't want to be called a novice by you who looks like a child!」 (Ralph)

「Stop it, Ralph!」 (Gresch)

Gresch rebuked Ralph's words

There seemed to be no way to convince Ralph

It see boy could defeat so to return to town today, so I'd like to thank you later Which inn are you staying in?」 (Gresch)

「I don't think you should return to Toria just yet」 (Ardis)

「A, ah Is that so?」 (Gresch)

Is there a problem? Gresch responded in his head

「It would be better not to leave my side just yet」 (Ardis)

「What do you mean…?」 (Gresch)

「You will know soon」 (Ardis)

At Ardis' words, Gresch turned his eyes to the opposite direction from the town

After the other three also moved their heads in that direction, Konia shouted in terror

「So…!」 (Konia)

「What!?」 (Ralph)

Jio took a telescope fro blue

「Despair…」 (Jio)

Gresch also did the sa threat, shouted orders to his coe!」 (Gresch)

The other three immediately followed his instructions and threay the snatcher fur they had collected along with their heavy luggage

「Ardis, what are you going to do?」 (Gresch)

Gresch naturally knew Ardis was strong, but he still felt Ardis wouldn't help theo, that was due to Ardis' goodwill Now that the good will is gone, it would be arrogant to expect hiain

That is why they decided to act on their own and not expect assistance fro them act this way, Ardis had an evenhere That's why it's better not to leave me just yet」 (Ardis)

「What do you ether」

Ardis pointed to the side opposite the Despair they had discovered

「This is strange…why!」 (Jio)

Checking the direction Ardis was pointing, Jio couldn't believe what he saw

「Also, aside from that」 (Ardis)

Ardis pointed in yet another direction

A total of three Despairs including the one discovered the first ti Ardis

「Three Despairs…no way…」 (Konia)

Shaking her se hair, Konia's face was dyed with hopelessness

Originally, Despairs hunted alone

However that is not an absolute, in rare cases they can hunt together

Their ecology is shrouded in ether as parents and children

Of course it goes without saying, a single Despair can easily dispatch newbie mercenaries

At the saer level dramatically

Even more so, if they completely surrounded you There would usually be no way a new party like Gresch's could survive

–That is, if there was no Ardis here
