The next day.

We're ready. We left River End.

The place to aim is the village of Jith.

It will be a week or so itinerary, so it will be a long journey there.

I am not worried about replenishment or anything because I am well prepared.

However, when it came to carrying a week's worth of food and water, it turned out to be a cool amount.

So I decided to use the bear and have him carry my stuff.

"Oh, wow. Beast Tamer, isn't it convenient?"

Seeing a bear carrying luggage, Axe says somewhat pleasantly.

The cell walking next to it was sending a cold gaze to Axe.

"You have to be like a child. It's embarrassing."

"But it's amazing, don't you think? Look, this bear, he's carrying his stuff properly... and BeastTamer can do this. I've only heard of out-of-the-box, so it feels very unexpected."

"Hmm. That's right, Rain is amazing."

For some reason, Canade has joined the conversation.

"Why, Rayne is our master! It's special."

"Why would Canade be proud...?

"Ha ha, you're loved"

"Wha!? Oh, I don't know about love... the, uh... ahhh"

The canade turns red and gets all sorts of things.

How can you react so much when it's just a light mouth?

"Ha-ha."

Look at the panicking canade and it makes Axe look naughty.

"Right, right, that's what this is all about? All right, Canade. If that's the case, I'll work with you."

"Huh!? No, no, no, that's okay!

"Don't say that. I'm on the girl's side. It's a shame we can't be close to Canade... well, for that matter, let me help you."

"Yes, we are now in a good position to maintain the status quo..."

"Sweet! You don't know when someone's gonna take that, do you? Leave it to me! Oh, Rayne. What do you think about Canade?!?

Cell hit Axe with a bow.

"Hey, what are you...?

"There's no way you can solve that kind of delicate problem, is there? You just mess it up and confuse it more than ever, so don't talk it out."

"Well... you're jealous of Yakimochi because I care about Canade, aren't you? But don't worry. I'm just gonna play with the fire with a bunch of cells. Grrr!?

"I don't know what that means, and in the first place, what are we going to do with a grand declaration of affair?

"Nyah... Rain, Rain"

Sneaky ear punch.

"These two really A-ranked adventurers? Aren't you really a performer?

"I know exactly how you feel."

I wouldn't look very A-ranked adventurers if I only looked at what I looked like on a daily basis.

Probably switching the switch on and off.

I can't stay tingly all year round.

... maybe, but.

"Whoa."

I got back on my feet right away and Axe was leading the way...

I stopped my leg, looking like I noticed something.

"What's going on?

"Stop. A demon."

"Huh?"

This is a street, and demons rarely show up.

Even if it's a place to hide, it's like a shade or a small bush.

Doesn't look like there's a demon...

But Axe had a serious face he'd never seen before and had already pulled out his sword.

I'm sure of it.

I told everyone to stop.

"Where?

"Hmm... I don't know for sure, but you're about 200 meters away. From that neighborhood, the signs of disgust pound."

"Nyah... ah!

Canade punched his ears... so much so that he lost them that he stood his tail peaned.

"Rain, Rain. Axe is right, there are signs of demons! Look, you see? On that tree over there."

"Uh... I see, that one"

There are trees lined up in the distance.

I made sure to hide in the fresh green leaves, and I saw bird-shaped demons.

Is that... sure it was Flarebird?

A bird-shaped demon who spits fire and specializes in ambushes.

Canade would have found you even if you were this far away...

Even though Axe is a normal person, he's well found.

"Come kick your ass."

Put everyone on standby here, go ahead, and exterminate Flarebird.

That's what I tried to do, and Axe made me stop it by hand.

"Yeah?"

"Fair enough, leave this place to the cell. Cell, you're gonna be okay, right?

"Yeah, if it's as far away as this, it'll be fine."

Cell already had a bow.

Squeeze the strings wide...... and release!

Rip the wind open and the arrows fly.

As if, it had been predetermined that it would, the arrow pierced the head of Flarebird 200 meters away.

It's not a shame or a coincidence.

As proof of that, the cell releases arrows one after another.

None of the arrows come off and stick them in Flarebird's head to be sucked in.

It's all a blow.

"It's over."

"Yep."

Canade, who watched the whole thing, was pompous.

I feel the same way.

Feel the signs of the demon 200 meters away before Canade...

And shoot through with a bow.

But we can't have that kind of artistry.

Is this the strength of A-rank?

"Okay, we're done cleaning! Let's move on."

On Axe's signal, everyone moves forward again.

"Wow."

"Hmm?"

"I sense a demon 200 meters away. And super-range sniping. That's not what a normal adventurer can do."

"Really? It's only natural for us to do that. Otherwise, you won't survive."

With that said, Axe was nibbling.

I guess I was happy to be praised.

He's easy to understand.

But, well, I don't hate that.

"To be honest, I was a little nervous at first... and now I think I can count on you a lot"

"Ugh, leave it to me! You were anxious at first!

"Bad. Whatever, it was my first meeting..."

"Axe, it's your fault."

"Is it my fault!?

"Aside from you, who else is responsible?

"Yes, it's my fault, sorry..."

Axe shrunk as he was stared at by the cell with an icy cold eye.

I'm still not sure how these two relate.

Either we're close or we're not.

I'm pretty sure it's a good combination though.

"Hey, can I ask you something?

I resumed my steps and Axe opened his mouth a little while later.

"Yeah?"

"Why did Rain and the others ask for this request?

"Why, even if they say so... that's a question of intent?

"It's pure interest. And curiosity."

Axe sent me a gaze to identify this one.

"This request, the reward is good, but for that matter, it's risky, too, right? Somehow, the target is the unidentified demon who destroyed one of the villages. I don't know who he is... well, he's definitely not even Locke. Injury is not an easy thing to do, you could die. And yet, why?

"There's no big reason. I just couldn't leave you alone."

"Hmm?"

"What's going on? It's not like I can leave you alone, and if there's anything we can do, I wanted to do something. That's all."

Axe was silent for a while...

"Ha ha."

I laughed comfortably.

"Fine, that sort of thing. I don't hate it. I mean, it's my taste."

"What about Axe like that?

"Same goes for me. A demon that would destroy one of the villages...... there is no way that such a presence can be left alone. If anyone's doing something wrong, we have to make it right. In a nutshell... I'm a righteous ally."

It was a very understandable and even simple reason.

In a way, it's childish.

I can also say that I live ideally.

They might say it smells blue...

But I liked it.

I think I could do a good job with Axe... and not only that, I felt like I could be a good friend.

... but I didn't know at this time that the wish would never come true.
