Vol 2 Chapter 30 (1/2)

Lyle’s Growth

Inside the swaying cart, ue

My face is probably pale

In truth, I focusedbut how much further there was to Dalien

The unage cart still swayed violently

It was uild, so it was probably well taken care of

“I don’t really want to have to ride in a cart again…

Perhaps out ofthan the way there

The one atched me in amazement was Aria

All of us were quite fatigues, but a us, I was the worst case

“Nove purposes, so she left you toquite a face there Please hold on, there isn’t o”

On her tone, I shot back

Since I was quite fatigued, it wasn’t much of a tasteful response

“You were even worse on the way there You looked like you were going to throw up tiain”

“T-that was because ere shaking way too much! I’m already used to it, so I’m fine, you hear!?”

Looking at her e our members, Rahu-san smiled bitterly

“You two sure get along”

On his statement, mine and Aria’s replies overlapped

“I don’t think we do”

“We don’t!”

While envying Aria’s vigor, I lied down, and turned my eyes to Rondo-san, as by Rachel-san’s side

Even when her state wasn’t the best either, Rachel continued to direct worried eyes at him

Seeing that, the Fourth began to nag…

『Lyle, like, you know, can’t you carry a little nity? You have to make sure to treat women well And wait, if you displayed that attitude back there to Noveed to the conference room, and lynched』

The Fourth, as always loud about feht now, I really aue I’ve never felt before

I can’t really ht now

The driver of the luggage cart wasn’t Zelphy-san, but the support man

Zelphy-san was tending to the carriage where the injured were loaded

Nove the five, and despite her exhaustion, she was conducting herself firmly

Rondo-san’s tired face bent into a smile

“Perhaps… it’s co”

What is? As I thought that, the Second supplemented information

『Lyle, before a Growth, fatigue, or perhaps a strange sensation can occasionally serge as as a pree amount of battle experience At ti norreater, so you can feel it as an extre』

Meaning after co to display themselves

I want to be happy, I didn’t have the mood for that

Rahu-san was a little despondent

“I wanted to join in Then perhaps I would experience Growth as well… and wait, it’s rare for everyone to be showing signs like this all at once”

More or less, it’s natural for humans to show individual differences

But all thesuch tired symptoms

Rondo looked quite drained, but he re that he could experience a Growth, he was probably happy

“When we return, we’ll have to rest for a while then And Lyle-kun’s group did concede the reward to us, so I want to do so to compensate”

The labyrinth’s deepest chamber…

The rare ic was turned over to Rondo-san’s group

Zelphy-san took whatever valuable she found on the adventurer as her reward, and in exchange for the preciousthe full amount of the request reward

For taking up the urgent request, and reporting the results of our investigation, it wouldn’t be a small sum

While we did think ofdown the metal into equipment, it didn’t feel necessary for our current party

I erant skills onto us, there was a possibility the tould clash, and ouldn’t’ be able to use them well

Perhaps Aria would be able to if she got used to it, but forthat it was impossible in my current state

I did mull over whether we should have a staff make for Novem, but she refused, so the talks proceeded in a direction where ould take the guild reward

“Well… when this fatigue goes away, I’ll leave it to you”

As I put allan answer, Rondo-san smiled

“Right”

In co what sort of weapon he wanted, and what Skills to set into it

(Are we there yet?)

I re cart, and decided to stay lying down up until the destination

Aria draped a blanket over me

Unable to raise a thanks in reply, the Fourth clicked his tongue at me

『Che!!』

After arriving at Dalien, our group reported the details to the guild

But there wasn’t a need for all of us to be there to talk, so after receiving the reward,to return to the house

The leader this tiive a detailed report

On the guild’s second floor receptions desk, I borrowed Rahu-san’s shoulders, as we responded to so our return

“So you took ‘em down? Good job, all of you!”

“Looks like the young’uns are givin’ their best as well”

“Still, with this, I can finally be relieved”

There were sos of war heroestheir triumphant return

“This ain’t bad in itself It’s Dalien’s good point, I guess”

Rahu-san said that, and and I wondered if that uilds were different

“The other places are different?”

“Yeah, it really depends on the pand It’s temperament, or how should I put it, local colors… still, this feeling ain’t a bad one If I couldin”

From his manner of speech, it seems he planned on leavin the town, sooner or later

As I observed the surroundings, I found the usual faces ed

The beautiful clerk wasn’t there

The s to a young male hire

(The ater adventurers have questionable looks on their faces)

Zelphy-san handed over the dead adventurer’s card to Hawkins-san, before returning to us

“It sure is lively Well, in Dalien, I guess it’s a bit of a rare sight to be found… We’ll be dispersin’ here, but if your party can’t get over the fatigue, Lyle, then rest for a few days or so As it is right now, it’ll be dangerous to send you out to work”

I definitely didn’t want to do any work like this, so I nodded in response

Novem was the same

Only Aria-san hung her head without turning her eyes to see Zelphy-san

Rondo-san gave Zelphy-san their gratitude

“It was quite a nice experience I mean, we survived, and all If it suits you, call out to us whenever you want”

To Rondo-san, as eloquent despite his enervation, Zelphy-san nodded

“Though I’d like it if you cut ain It’s just that I’ll couys to memory”

Hearing that, the three of theuild

“Look, you guys should be off too Yoursome terrible faces there”

With Rahu-san gone, I borrowed Noveuild

… A private roouild

Hawkins faced Zelphy, a table separating the two

Perhaps due to Hawkins’ large build, the room seemed narrower, and the table smaller than normal

“… Nice work I’ll be reporting this uild as well”

Having finished gathering the necessary information, Hawkins took the documents laid out on the table, and tapped their ends on the wood twice to align them nicely

“I really aood part about it, and it ended withthem all my unclean sides Please spare me from a second time”

Hawkins-san gave a wry smile

While Zelphy said she was taking the adventurer’s treasures for her own, he had a general understanding of the situation

“… Do you knohere his house it?”

Hawkins asked if Zelphy knew his… the deceased adventurer’s house

“I know it His family consists of his wife, and two children It really is detestable… I don’t really want to have to do this sort of thing too often”

Hearing that she even knew his faanization, Hawkins’ expression turned a little sorrowful

“So you’re personally taking on your detestable role? What’ssilent to Lyle-kun and the others?”

“I’ll properly do my advisor job This matter is outside the scope my fees cover”

Hawkins could i to do with the items she took as her reward

The valuables left behind by a dead adventurer did generally go to whoever went to investigate, or to his comrades

But when it was quite a recognized adventurer that passed, the ones ere looked after by them would often leave them to the bereaved family

“Then why not just tell them? It’s important if you think about how they’ll carry themselves from here on”

Perhaps unsatisfied with the idea, Zelphy averted her eyes

“My job is to turn theet a feel for the work, and in this outing, they learned transportation, and ca more is unnecessary”

She had already taught them the fundamentals

So there was no problem

Zelphy ended the conversation there

While Hawkins was ainst her work ethic as an advisor

She definitely was carrying out her job

She orking as far as her fee covered, and it wasn’t her place for her to say anything about the uild

“I guess it fits you But this ti but unpaid labor, wasn’t it?”

The reas turned over to Lyle, and whatever was found in the labyrinth went to Rondo

She was just doing volunteer work

You could call that a failure as an adventurer

“… Well, there’s no point in telling that into so to retire This is it forI’d wish for is an end like him”

Zelphy’s last job was advising Lyle’s party

She stored up quite an extent of success as an adventurer, and was recognized by the feudal lord as well

She was able to skillfully carry out her work from both sides

But during Aria’s case, her role deviated quite a bit

“It seems you were quite reckless in that matter with Aria-san You pushed her ono Lyle-kun… If he was actually troubled about it, you planned to take her in, didn’t you?”

Zelphy let out a deep sigh

“Hah~ good grief… if he couldn’t put us with Lady Aria, I had a whole 『If you want to save someone, then make sure you’re able to look after the her back But that oblivious rich kid seems to be able to overcoher than I ever could ”

Zelphy started to co left to teach
