7 Episode 6 Past Party Story (2/2)

Both were veteran territories with more than a decade of adventurer calendar, and Lars, who accomplished it just five years, twenty years ago, was renowned as an up-and-coming adventurer.

…… I became an adventurer at the same age and the same time, but I noticed that the difference was quite wide.

Lars glances at me. There was no sign of a smile on his face with his lips bent slightly.

”The guild is fired, Sora.”

”……Oh”

”Isn't the level as it is? To be here is still going to continue working as an adventurer, but you should quit already.

”... advice, thank you”

Gives a casual reply to your advice.

Then, a black-haired beauty standing next to Lars opened her mouth, wrinkled in her eyebrows.

”Hey! Lars has been giving advice for you, but what is that attitude?”

It was Ilia in a white bodice. Originally a girl with good eyes, like Miroslav, she has been astonishingly beautiful in five years.

It seems that the place where only Lars is in the eyes is the same as five years ago.

”……I'm sorry”

”That ... I'm a person who doesn't have any ambition. I thought it was a little better when I met him.”

”Okay, Ilia. It's nothing to do with us anyway. Even if you die without your advice, you'll get your own business.”

”It's exactly what Lars says. Let's leave these people alone and go into the forest as soon as possible. ”

”Hey Miro, you weren't the first to call out!”

Lars disappear into the forest, saying whatever they like.

The only one who remained here was the Elf Luna Maria.

”I'm fine and above all, Sora-san”

With that said, she bows down. The gentle smile at this looked like it was in the past.

Sanamoto Luna Maria, an exceptionally welcoming Elf, served as a lubricating oil for parties, occasionally tanning and pacifying Ilia and Miroslav, which repeated over the Lars.

When he was in ”Falcon's Sword,” he was involved in fine-tuned preparations and dealings with him.

However, since she noticed her gaze following Lars like the other two, she carefully contained her feelings.

He was very grateful at the time, as his level did not go up and he did not change his attitude when he was almost luggage at the party.

――However, that gratefulness is blowing away now.

After the party was expelled, the conversation of members who happened to hear at the tavern where I was inspired started.

It was this elf that gave the parasitous nickname ”” to the parasite.

Respond briefly to the other party's greeting, ”Oh,” and turn to Luna Maria to refuse further dialogue.

A confused sign comes from behind, but I don't mind.

I'm sorry to talk about sympathy and duty. Don't worry about parasites, just go to your favorite Lars. I really thought so.

However, this intention did not seem to be conveyed, and a voice of a bell was heard from behind.

”In the last few days, many people are missing in the forest of Titis. Please be careful Sora.”

”... missing?”

I look back over my shoulder unexpectedly.

Luna Maria nodded with a slightly relieved face.

The forest of Titis is so large that it can swallow a whole country, and there are rumors at the deepest that fantasy species inhabit.

In such a place, there are many cases where adventurers who step into the forest do not return.

Even so, the number of missing people in the last few days seems abnormal.

In addition, some of those who went missing had the same C-rank party as Falcon's Sword, and the guild decided to send a high-rank party to investigate the cause.

”Falcon's sword” is one of them.

Please be careful because the current forest is dangerous.

Lunamaria advises so.

Narrow amount …… To be honest, I wanted to say that it was extra care, but I realized that it was.

So, he thanked him briefly.

”... I understand. Thanks for the advice.”

”Welcome. Then I'll go.”

Lunamaria said, disappearing into the forest, following her friends.

I am relieved that the unfortunate meeting with my former friends has ended, and resume collecting herbs.

I'm worried about the missing person that Luna Maria told me, but I don't need to be very vigilant on the outer edge, even if I step into the forest.

Rather, if the number of adventurers approaching the forest decreases in this case, the price of picking up herbs may increase. Such expectations cross my heart. That was a matter of others.

――It can't be predicted that the Lars attacked by the King of the Fly will return with the monsters.

Even worse, there was no way to predict that Miroslav would launch a magical attack at you to distract the monster from the wounded Lars.
