74 – The Rat Slayer is Back

The Rat Slayer is Back

“Yoit! How’s the pervert Raikang doing?”

The three sets greeted each other warmly, but Rai, who was sitting on the grass, looked at them with a sad expression.

“That’s what that look is like. You have to take responsibility for beating innocent Philly. My child is a bit expensive.”

Cesset approaches her with a playful face and pokes her elbow in the side of her rai.

As if a pimp was negotiating the price, Rin, who was behind, lowered her head in embarrassment, but she did not stop Sessett’s self-righteous behavior.

“It’s unfair to me. I only put a drunk kid to sleep, but he even got hit.”

“Yes, the defense of the accused is over.”

Rai, who was beaten by Philia for giving her a lap pillow for no reason, points to her chin, which has returned to normal over time.

Although he has already heard the details from Philia and talked a lot, Sesset continues to tease Rai because he is happy.

She enjoys playing her pranks on Rai, who has always been easy on her, and fun when Philia, who has never had any romantic feelings for her, is embarrassed by her blushing.

When women talk about dating, Philia, who is always calm, is so shy that she can’t stand it.

“Hey, hasn’t he gone down to his home yet? Get him. You can lie down on someone else’s thigh and sleep. What’s that? Why don’t you train?”

“You want to catch me. What are you trying to do by forcing me to do something with an innocent child? You’re just leaving too soon.”

A tendon rises from Rai’s forehead as she narrows her eyes, three sets of annoyed faces.

Sensing that she had been teased too much, Sesset straightened her posture and spoke in a calm voice.

“She still looks embarrassed. But that… Selma? She seems to have been going to him all along.”

“Uh, I’ve already heard from Selma. She’s even been slapped on the back for not knowing a girl’s heart.”

“Oh- I don’t know who you are, but you’re a great person.”

Impressed by her Rai’s comment about hitting her on the back, Sessett nods her head.

A lot of time has passed since I brought her home. A week had passed since she had already taken a break at the academy, and it was time for the students to leave one by one.

She made plans for Selma’s swordsmanship, but Philia didn’t come out after that day.

To see her face, she went to Clay’s forge, but she didn’t even see Philia hiding inside her, and she was chased away by Selma.

She didn’t do anything wrong, but she only said something to herself, so her annoyed expression on Rai’s face is not good.

“Don’t say too much to Philly though, she’s been working hard on her training by herself.”

“Hey, give me this at least.”

“What is this?”

“I wrote down the techniques to learn and how to practice.”

Receiving her folded paper, Sesset again squints her eyes and asks if it is a love letter, but in the end she is hit on the forehead by Rai and makes her cry.

“But why are you here?”

Seset holding her forehead and her tears welling up turns into her bright face as if she never did that.

“Would you like to come visit my house this time?”

“Are you talking about the water at your house?”

“Yes, I want to introduce it to my grandfather.”

Sessett, who highly appreciates Rai’s magical abilities, wanted to introduce him to his grandfather.

Though he often uses his fists, his interest in magic is second to none. I think it would be nice to meet a sad old man and Rai, who uses unusual techniques, so I recommend him, but Rai’s expression is not good.

“Why am I meeting that old man?”

Seeing Rai talking with a disgusted expression, Sesset tilts his head.

“Have you ever met your grandfather?”

“No, no.”

“Is it real? Everyone I’ve met always has the same expression as Raikang.”

“Hey, is your grandfather okay? Shouldn’t you learn personality first before magic?”

He is a grandfather who is worried about how he behaves and everyone he meets hates him.

Recalling the grandpa of the three-set-old, who was angry on the battlefield and letting go of all kinds of greed, Rai agrees that ah, that person can do that.

Clyde Eliza.

A court mage of the empire, a man whose fists are faster than magic and who prefer kicks to words.

He doesn’t have a bad temper, but people around him are always tired because of his quick-tempered personality and his habit of swearing.

Rai frowned when he remembered Clyde, who threatened to kill him and rushed at him with a fireball the size of a human torso inserted into his fist.

“You are too old to learn personality.”

Those three do not deny whether they agree that personality is bad.

As her granddaughter, she pretends to take everything away from her liver and gall, but she is a really scary grandfather when she gets angry.

“Anyway, I have no intention of meeting you. If you want to see me, tell me to come in person.”

“Then you can tell it like that.”

“No, don’t tell me.”

I don’t know what kind of guy he is, but if I tell him, he’s a person who will come running to me one step at a time, saying he’s arrogant.

The instant Clyde and Rye meet, the academy will turn into a sea of fire.

“I’ve met you. You know my grandfather well.”

“Is there anyone in the Empire who doesn’t know that eccentric personality?”

Rye denies it to the end, but Sesset, who had been staring at it suspiciously to see if he had already decided, turned his attention to the garden.

Excluding Philia, the other three are being trained, but in the eyes of the three three, it is confusing whether that is training or play.

The ground was dug with magic and filled with water, and three people are dipping their feet in it. Exactly, I keep soaking and taking it out, but I don’t know what I’m doing.

“Isn’t it too cold to play in the water?”

“It’s training.”

“Is this really working?! It doesn’t work at all!”

When Asran shouted, as she kept dipping her feet into the water that reached her ankles, Rai answered calmly.

“It works in theory.”

“…… In theory, you’ve never done it in practice?”

Abigail and Zeroa, who had heard Asran look at them with an astonished expression, also looked at Rai blankly.

Rai, who was looked upon with suspicion, let out a deep sigh, then got up from his seat and approached.

Walking as if he was out for a walk, Rai puts his feet in the water and walks comfortably on the water as if on land.

“Are you okay?”

Everyone stares blankly with their mouths open after seeing Lai perform a miracle.

She opened her eyes wide as if even Rin, who was escorting the three-set, was surprised.

“Walking is Haah Ah-I will have to pass. Don’t think to follow.”

“Wow wow wow- what did you just do? Teach me too!”

Sensing that she has used her magic on her toe, Sesset rushes at her with her eyes glowing.

Rin casually reveals her technique and stares at her rai who is teaching her three sets.

‘Hardening…’

Each person has a different name, but the representative name is called Gyeonghwa.

It is a skill that is not taught because it is naturally learned by warriors who have reached a certain level and have power that the land cannot handle.

To be honest, if you ask her to explain the theory of how this is possible, she can’t even do Rin.

When you circulate mana through your body, it reacts on its own.

But Rai theorized it and made it magical. She considers whether it is more useful to learn it naturally or to use it consciously, but there is no need to worry about it now.

Only Rai’s ability to make hard currency into magic that anyone could use was important.

Although she thought it was great, Lin admired Lai’s ability far beyond her expectations, and she even heard her admiration that if she had a chance, she would like to compete.

She is the most outstanding among her servants who serve the Eliza family, and she is even in charge of escorting her granddaughter, whom she cherishes. She recalls her long-forgotten sense of her.

After reading her subtle air flow, Rai taught her a spell, then raised her head to see Rin.

It was smiling, but the energy within it was terribly ferocious. This strong aura was similar to that of outstanding strongmen such as Clyde and Edelian who were asked to give up the empire.

Meeting her eyes, Rin lowered her head slightly as if to show her respect, and Rai turned her head away, arguing that she was not doing that.

Where did such a person fall?

The more she knows, the more she sees an unidentified instructor full of questions, and Lynn wonders if she should report it to Clyde.

The three-set, who believes that it is simply magic to walk on water, retreats, and Aslan, who has finished training, lies down in the garden exhausted.

No matter how little mana is used, if you repeat an unfamiliar spell thousands of times, you will get tired.

On a day like this, she would be happy if she drank cold beer with spicy snacks, but Aslan, who left home, had no time to enjoy luxury.

Her behavior is light, and she wears high-class clothes. She only brings high-alcohol alcohol to the house, so she is usually nice, but when she wants something, she just regrets it.

Athran, who could not ask for money because he wanted to drink beer despite living on his own, came up with a brilliant idea after pondering alone.

‘If you don’t have money, you can earn it.’

He comes up with an idea that anyone can think of, and Aslan runs to Rai and asks for a three-day break.

“Why? Tired?”

“To make some money.”

“My God…”

Rai was surprised by Aslan’s words and covered his mouth.

“You’re finally thinking about renting a room. I’m impressed that you’re a common sense person.”

“Ah… Do I have to pay the rent…?”

Rai’s eyes go cold at the hesitant words, as if she hadn’t even thought of it.

“Oh, I’ll pay. I’ll pay. You can pay!’

Athran, who could not stand the pitiful glances, replied that he would pay without a countermeasure.

Asran, who visited Zeroa early the next morning, takes him to the adventurer’s guild.

From noble mtl dot com

The other day, following Lai and grabbing the lid opener, I realized that the money was quite good. It’s not very strong, but you just need to collect the materials well and sell them.

Even if you work for one day, you can earn about the rent of a room and enjoy cold beer to your heart’s content.

Athran thought to wait and see, but Zeroa shook her head.

“I can’t enter the dungeon with my current level.”

“What? You went in last time.”

“That’s… Regandia’s dungeons become ferocious from November until the next year, and entry is prohibited unless they are C-class or higher.”

Dungeons managed by guilds sometimes block entry if there are unusual issues.

Asran’s grade was E1 because he did not take the promotion test even though he earned the title of Rat Slayer. He is a Zera Ado D1, equally meritorious but untested.

In the end, it was said that there was no choice in the dungeon.

Aslan, who was blocked from the beginning, made a blank expression, Zeroa smiled bitterly and suggested that since he could accept a request, how about doing that?

Athran, who has no other way to earn money than being an adventurer, agrees and enters the guild.

“Rat Slayer! Is it finally time to scare the sewer rats again?”

With Kraosa talking nonsense and Zeroa having a nice conversation, Aslan looks around her request board.

If the level of the people in the party is different, you can only accept quests that are one level below the average level of the party.

Athlan only looks for D3 requests as Zeroa told him.

However, there is no way that a lot of money is at stake for a D3-level request that is just about to take off a beginner’s wear.

Athran gets discouraged when he sees that the highest request fee is 50 silver.

Moreover, the quest for 50 silver is a 3-day escort mission. The escort mission ends when you reach the Xylene area, but considering the travel expenses to return, it is a deficit.

I saw a quest that would make a lot of money even if I went to D1 or D2 level, but it was a piece of cake.

After talking with Kraosa and her, Zeroa approaches and comforts the discouraged Aslan.

She looks at her request bulletin board and looks around her.

“Then shall we join the others?”

Zeroa laughs as Aslan, who was discouraged, looked up.

“If you work with a high-ranking adventurer, the number of requests you can receive also increases.”

“Oh- you’re a genius.”

I told you what other adventurers are doing, and she is praised as a genius.

“Is there an A-rank adventurer here?”

“No, there’s no way people like that would party with us.”

There’s no way that A’s will party with D’s and E’s. In addition, high-level quests often took that much time, so it didn’t suit them right now.

Since you have to choose a moderately high level quest, you need to find an adventurer of a similar level.

After talking with Kraosa, Zeroa returns to Aslan with a group of people.

“This is Lydia, Drex and Pia.”

“Oh, that looks scary.”

As soon as the short woman called Pia sees Aslan, she immediately says that she is scared and shrinks.

Usually, I don’t think about it in my mind, but I rarely say it out loud, but when Asran, who had heard that she was openly scared, frowned at her, Drex laughed and said he was sorry.

“Sorry, sorry. Pia is a bit immature. Please understand. Nice to meet you. My name is Drex.”

Aslan, who has scars on her face and likes manly derex, shakes hands with him.

“I’m Lydia. As you can see, I use a bow.”

I don’t ask for a handshake, but when I introduce myself by showing my weapon, Aslan and Zeroa introduce themselves alternately.

“There are still some children who haven’t recovered, so I didn’t have enough hands, but it turned out well. Please take good care of me for the time being.”

“Are you sure you’re okay with Drex? One is a former porter and the other is an E-class.”

Pia vents her displeasure by ignoring the two of her, but Drex says it’s okay and stops her.

“Mr. Kraosa recommended them, so they’re trustworthy people. Oh, and don’t pay too much attention to what this guy says, both of them. Even if they’re bad-mouthed, they’re good people when they become friendly, so bear with it.”

Thinking of De Rex mediating with a kind smile, Asran nodded her head even though Pia didn’t like her.

Kraosa, who was watching the party from a distance, with Pia still complaining, Aslan holding back, and Drex stopping Marley, smiled happily.

He was eager to see what interesting stories the Rat Slayers, who had made the adventurer’s guild noisy from day one, would come up with this time around.
