Vol 2 Chapter 8 (2/2)
“I’ood and I don’t want to go back, okay?”
That ruined it all!
After Narnia-san went back, we escorted Tilika-chan back to the Guild
“Ah, sorry about this, two days in a row Isn’t Tilika being a bother?”
We had Elizabeth, Sati, and Tilika-chan play around while I was called by the Vice Guild Chief to talk just the two of us
“No no I even think about whether she should just live with us She also helps Sati with the housework, you see Sati also looks happy to have Tilika-chan over”
“Right, that would be a bit difficult Say, why do you think Tilika is living within the Guild?”
I wonder why?
“Because it’s dangerous In various ways”
“Dangerous?”
“Right It looks like you don’t know, so I was thinking that it’s time to tell you about the situation”
“The situation?”
“This town is peaceful, right? That is ic Eye she laid bare all the crimes and corruption from their roots So because of that, she is hated by people here and there”
Like that, the Vice Guild Chief started talking
Apparently they usually don’t go that far even when there is a Truth Officer Because there are some vested interests, if they overdo the crackdowns, there would also be a fierce backlash However, because this town is under the direct influence of the king, the ones who actually govern the place are the Adventurer’s Guild and the Trade Guild Irritated by the bad public order, both heads of the organizations requested the aid of the Truth Officer in the restoration of the public order Riding that wave the Vice Guild Chief and others went fairly overboard
“Well, this is the situation…”
“Then isn’t it dangerous to let her stay at a place like mine!?”
“It’s alright I’ve placed souards where they won’t be discovered”
I didn’t notice it at all
“I don’t use amateurs that would be discovered by you”
“Then, wouldn’t it be the best if she didn’t come over anymore?”
“Well, about that Tilika isn’t one to derant her wishes as much as I can, so I’m in a bit of a bind Masaru, why don’t you move in here? I will prepare a room for you”
“I can’t make a harem here, can I?”
Even if it’s for the sake of Tilika-chan, I can’t give up on my dream Also, I don’t want to live my life under the watch of this baldy
“Heh, that’s not incorrect Well, I will place guards on her and if it coht, but please look out for things on your end too”
“Understood”
Tilika-chan fighting? I can’t really picture it
But Tilika-chan’s circuht Like how her life is being targeted I wanted to ith it untilforward I should have her able to fight in case so happens
After that, ent out of the town and observed Elizabeth’s ic practice Even if I say that, it was over after only one shot because of the lack ofincreased to 10
“I can increase it more if it’s just by a bit But let’s call it completed for now”
“Then shall we go back? After this, ill go back to the Guild since I have soeant-dono What will you do, Elizabeth?”
“Consult about what?”
“Yeah I was thinking of letting Sati start training for battle”
“Hee Well, she is a beastkin, so it should be fine In that case, I will show my face at the inn for a bit I will take a look at how Narnia is doing I will return before noon”
After ent through the gate we separated from Elizabeth and headed for the Guild
While alking, I briefly told Sati about Tilika-chan’s situation Sati looked like she was shocked Sati should be the eable about Tilika-chan, but, as expected, she probably didn’t tell her about how people are after her life
“So as you probably heard just noanted you to becoht”
“I understand I will get strong enough to protect Tilika-chan”
That’s the spirit If you can get strong enough to protect me as hile you are at it, then I would be very happy
Sergeant-dono was in thefield is open to adventurers and they can receive guidance for free Just like how the beginner course was free, the Guild is doing its best to nurture people It costs some money for the Guild, but if those people are able to beco adventurers, then the Guild’s profit also becoet lured away by the state or other kinds of organizations after getting strong, but there is a transfer money that has to be paid at that time, so there is no loss
I only greeted Sergeant-dono, then we headed to the place where the archery targets are
“Sati, I’ you learn how to handle the bow and the sword”
I hand over the bow I took out from my Item Box to Sati
“Then I will first show you how it’s done, so you should try doing it just like that”
“Yes”
My Archery Skill is at Level 1, but I can at least concentrate the arrows around the target
I pull the bowstring tight and shoot the arrow Perhaps because I decided to stand relatively close to it, but I soet
“So, try it”
Sati is desperately pulling the string saying ‘nn-‘, then shoots ‘Ah-‘, she said then looked at me with teary eyes Did it hit her face? Of course, the arrow didn’t fly properly either
“Ah, there, there 【Heal】, it’s all better now”
“Thank you very much”
“Then let’s try one more time”
This tiuide her hand and we pull the bowstring together Yeah, this posture is a bit erotic If this was so her and sniff the scent of her hair in one go Close call, close call
It in, but this ti it a few ti
As I was training with eant-dono came over
“Sati This gentleht-dono Greet him properly”
“It’s Sati I serve as Masaru-sama’s slave”
Then she quickly lowers her head
“So I was thinking…”
I told hieant-dono is part of the Guild staff, so he of course knows Tilika-chan She recently started getting along with Sati, so I want to teach her combat in case push comes to shove My archery skills are really bad and it’s hard to have a training match, since there is a restriction on close coainst their master
“I sa you handle the bow just now, so how about we see how you handle the sword”
Sergeant-dono hands a wooden sword to Sati
“Now, you grip it like this Right Then, this is the pose you take Well then, come at me”
Sati is looking this way unsure of what to do
“Sergeant-dono is ht like you want to defeat hiht you won’t be able to protect Tilika-chan”
It looks like she resolved herself after hearing that She starts charging at Sergeant-dono Her ile Even if her strike was evaded or deflected, she just kept desperately charging in When Sati started to breath heavily, Sergeant-dono finally stopped her
“As one ht expect from a beastkin, even if she is sh With this she should be able to learn things soon Samson! Come here for a bit”
Samson is one of the instructors, a retired adventurer He has a shi+ny bald head and oversized et by as adventurer even now, but he got hi as an instructor like this
“You saw the one just now, right? Teach this kid how to handle the bow and the sword”
“Yes, Vaught-dono You are called Sati, right Come with me I will teach you”
“Sati, do your best Samson-san, please take care of her”
“Well then, Masaru Let’s teach your sorry ass after a long time”
Sergeant-dono is strong A splendidly flowing swords serious and yet I can’t even get one hit on hie of the fact that I can use Restoration Magic, he lets his attacks hit mercilessly
With my Swordsmanshi+p at Level 4, my skills should be top-class, but why is that there is such a huge difference between us Sergeant-dono is of course strong, but it’s probably because I’m not able to properly use the full abilities of the Swordsames, then maybe you would understand Even if the character’s specs are the same, there is a world of difference in terms of efficiency to a true expert If it’s just to scatter sh
There are times when I make a move that even surprises me But I can’t reproduce it and I don’t even understand well enough why I was able to do it It’s probably like when a beginner is able to pull of a co the stick I overwhelly lack experience and techniques on how to th and speed went up fro pulled via wires by it
I’et used to it by faithfully practicing every day It hasn’t even been a month since I first held a sword in my hands anyway
Magic has a different feel to it Saying that it’s like putting a bullet in a gun and firing it would perhaps be a good analogy If I properly aier It sometimes has a restriction on the bullet count, or it takes time to shoot, but it wasn’t that difficult to become able to use it
Until we finished at noon, I was beaten to a pulp and I fell to the ground three times Even if I raised Swordsmanshi+p to 5 and took a Skill that raises ainst Sergeant-dono And even if I could win that way, I wouldn’t be happy with that I decided to hold off on getting new close combat type enhancements for now
Sati also had scratches all over her and was tottering around I’ve used Purification and Heal on Sati and oodbye, we set out on the road to back home
“Hoas training?”
We talk with Sati as hile holding hands
“Yes It was scary and painful”
“Yeah I guess”
“But I want to get stronger”
“Nn”
Right I want to get stronger too
So I can get Sergeant-dono’s approval
So I can protect Sati
