When we returned from the dungeon, we were reporting our quests in The Tempest.

...... That's awesome.

　Mr. Lloyd chuckled.
　In the corner of Mr. Lloyd's eye, there was a pile of demons he had defeated.
　It was the fruit of the monster house he had taken out of the Item Box.
　If the Tempest didn't have an arena, it might have been hard to find a place to get these things out.

　The monsters we defeated were as follows.


　──────────────────── ...
[C-rated]
　20 troglodytes (hairy human-shaped lizards)
　18 human-shaped lizardmen
　Quarles (black panther-like in appearance with sucker tentacles on both shoulders) 16

[B-rated]
　12 bicorns.
　Mushyush (head of a snake, body of a lion, tail of a scorpion, covered with scales except for the limbs)
　Garuda (a large red bird with the wind in its arms) 10
　──────────────────── ...


　It looked like he had killed a total of 86 demons.

''Your abilities are already on par with A- and S-ranked demons.

　Mr. Lloyd said .

''That's a lot of money for you to bring down all these demons. Revel, lazy!

　Ral gave a happy thumbs-up on his right hand.

'Yuji, you're killing a lot of demons!　'Wow!'

"Oh, well.

"This bird looks good!

　Out of Kyu's gaze, Garuda was there.

''You want to eat ......?''

I want it!

"...... Okay, all right, just don't eat the bird without permission. Make sure you cook the bird properly.

"Love.

　I'll get a little bit of Garuda's meat later when I dismantle the demon material .

''Even so, how did you take out so many of them by yourself?

...... Mr. Revell is crazy. You were supposed to be holding out in the Monster House, but you're destroying it.

I've gotten used to playing with them halfway through. Well, then, we're good!　You'd think, right?

"Yes, ...... I don't think Mr. Revell might be ...... or maybe he's just crazy.

　I'll listen to Fea's statement and reflect on my actions .


　...... Huh?　It's undeniable.


'Well, it's a good thing you're safe this time, but Revell needs to put more priority on your safety.

Hey, hey, hey, I'm thinking about my own safety enough.

Think back to the time when the guild was attacked.

　Lal smiles at me.
　Despite his expression, I can feel something like anger.

"Yes, I'll be more careful in the future.

Good.

　...... Hmmm, I guess it's still something that people would think of as dangerous.
　Honestly, I couldn't imagine myself dying in that situation.
　I don't think I'm insensitive to danger .......
　After all, there were so many times with the Manticore that I thought I was going to die.
　Well, it's possible that after the manticore you've become numb afterwards.

　Still, I wasn't even remotely interested in dying against that monster house.



　◇



　After the quest report, it was decided to have a banquet to celebrate my first B-rank quest.
　It was Ral who suggested it, and for some reason I've been appointed as the cook for the banquet.
　Well, that's okay.
　I'm also happy because I haven't yet mastered the skills of a chef.


　But I want to invite them too.
　there wouldn't be a banquet at all.
　Besides, we've been through the traps together.

　With that thought, I headed to the Red Wolf.

　When I opened the door of the Red Wolf, I was met with some sharp looks.
　I looked around the guild and saw Agito sitting in a chair with his cane in his cheek.

''Yo, Agito.''

Huh?

　When I spoke to him, Agito looked extremely uncomfortable.

''We're having a banquet at our guild from now on, do you want to join us?

"What do you mean by that, huh? I'm losing the battle with you. I don't have the guts to throw a party.



No, I would have lost if you hadn't given me what I needed. And we've been through this so much together, I don't think it's too much to ask for a friend.

"...... is stupid. I'm not going. And I gave it to you because you gave me the win before I gave it to you.

That's a very serious thing to say.

If you screw this up, I'll kill you.

　Hmmm ...... I'm not going to be able to convince Agito to do this .
　I'm going to look around the guild again.
　Oh, there you are.

"Good job, Carina-san.

　I left Agito's side and approached Miss Karina.

"Oh, it's Rivelle. Good night. What's up with you, anyway?

''Actually, we're going to have a banquet at our guild now, and I was hoping Carina-san and the others could come too.

Oh, great. We worked together at the end, regardless of the competition. I'd love to be there.

I'm so happy to see you. ...... Oh, and I'd like Agito to come too, but can't we get him to come somehow?

I'm glad you're the one who cares about Agito. I'll take you there by any means necessary.

Thank you!

　Okay, now I'm sure Agito will be there.
　Kukkukukukukuku ...... is right on target.
