78 Episode 30 Growing Up




 The fact that a city has been wiped out by the demon horde has been announced and is instantly known all over Frapara.
 It seems that many adventurers will be joining the emergency quest with no limit to the number of adventurers.
 There are lives at stake, but it seems that many more adventurers will choose rewards and honor.

 I was looking at the request form with the intention of taking it, but beside me, Fear was trembling.

It's not a good idea to have a city destroyed by a horde of demons. ...... Isn't this really bad ......?

"It's OK! Kyu is just as strong!''

 Kyu used the telekinesis to talk to Feer.
 Since everyone had become accustomed to Kyu, they thought it wouldn't be a problem to use telekinesis, so they lifted the ban.
 At first, everyone was surprised, but they soon agreed that since she was Revel's servant, there was no reason to be surprised.
 Even though it's clearly not a convincing reason .......

''Thank you, Kyu-chan ...... for that . But Kyu-chan is in danger, so please stay at home.

"GANG!

 Kyu's mouth was wide open with a pop, and he looked shocked .
 Fear didn't think he was strong at all .

''I thought I could fight with Aruji this time around ......!

When Kyu grows up a bit more, we can fight together.

 Siksiksiks and tears flowed down his face, and Kyu nodded.
 Good girl.

''...... but Kyu-chan helped me make up my mind. I'm going to accept this quest.

 Fear tightened his grip on the request form.

'You were so frightened earlier, are you okay?

'Well, well, I'm always frightened. ......

Yeah, but it's a pretty dangerous quest this time, so there's no need to push yourself.

No, no! I'm fine! I've managed to get through it, even up to now, and besides, I'm an A! I need to participate and be useful!

...... I never thought Fear would say that.

Hey! What's the surprise? Excuse me, Mr. Revell!

"Hahaha, I'm sorry. But I just realized that you're really strong compared to when we first met.

Of course you do. I've been training really hard myself.

 Fia puffed out her chest as if to say, ahem.

'That's part of it, but you were always more frightened at first, weren't you?

...... If you ask me, that might be true.

But you're coming to terms with it. That's great.

'Oh, you know, ...... praise won't get you anywhere.

No, it's simply because I thought you were growing up.

'Is it growth: ....... Yes, I'd be happy to see you grow a bit taller too ......

 Fear is petite compared to her age to begin with, but she's still the same as she was a year ago.
 That seemed to bother Feer.

'It's okay, isn't it? The smaller ones will be easier to avoid the attacks.

Well, well, maybe so: ......

And the smaller ones are more like Fear.

What! That's completely ridiculous!

I'm not kidding. He said the smaller ones are just prettier and look better with those bunny ears.

Okay, okay.

 Fia blushed.
 ...... I knew that Fear had a weakness for the word "pretty".
 I guess I misspoke.

I'm going to take the quest anyway, so let's just do it together.

 With that, I left the guild as if to escape.


 You know.


 And that night.
 I came to Kurt's room.

Hey, Revel, nice to see you.

Yeah, I really need to ask Kurt for a favor.

Request? No problem. It's how I thank you for teaching me so much about ancient magic. I'm open to all kinds of questions.

Thank God. First of all, let me ask you one thing, does Kurt know about the emergency quest the guild sent out today?

Of course. I'm going to be there, just in case. I'll have no trouble testing my magic if there are too many targets.

 Many adventurers are in it for the rewards, for the honor, for their country, but not Kurt.
 He's in it purely and solely for the magic.
 He really does seem to have an insatiable interest in magic.
 That's why Kurt is so strong.

"Ha-ha-ha, that's why you're Kurt. I am on this urgent quest to get to know you better.



Wow, Revell's really getting into this. That's interesting.

"I need Kurt to help me get serious. I need you to protect the adventurers around me and our people.

...... I see, but I'm a little nervous when it comes to protecting everyone.

"It's going to be okay. I'm not saying I wouldn't do it because I'm nervous. In fact, you don't think I can't do it?

Yeah, well. ...... but I'm a little disappointed.

Shame?

It's a shame we won't get to see Revell up close and personal.

 Kurt sighed with a laugh and spread his hands out.

'But when it comes to getting serious, I don't think there's that much of a difference between you and Kurt.

 I laughed and said.

"Of course not. After all, I'm not exactly measuring Revell's strength right now.

...... Come on, I don't know.

"It's great that you don't deny it. Which makes it all the more disappointing. But Revel asked me to do a favor for you. I'll keep you safe.

Thank you.

 I sincerely thanked Kurt for his help.

 ...... But Kurt is right.
 I've been working hard this past year to get stronger.
 Because of that, I am a lot stronger than when I came to the Flappera.
 When I fought Kurt in the tournament, he and I were pretty much evenly matched.
 In ten fights, you could have won five times and lost five.

 But now I honestly don't feel like I've lost even once.

 I used the Seonin Method to sneak out of the frapara and used the Air Pace to float up into the sky.
 And far away in the distance I saw a wriggling black mass.
 That's the swarm of demons that we adventurers and knights fight together.

 ...... We're now ready to move up to S rank.
 All that's left to do is rampage.


It will be exciting to see how well I do with my skills.
