I, ---- Sildy Louvet, couldn't believe the scene in front of me.
　We, the 【Brigade of the Bright Star】, are a party of well-known people.
　In any case, all of us are A-level adventurers, and Dan and Fianna have been told that they may soon be promoted to S-level.　They are all A-level adventurers, and Dan and Fianna are said to be on the verge of being promoted to S-level.
　We were investigating an extraordinarily dangerous area called the "Great Demon Zone" (......) at the request of the guild.
　The S-Class adventurers were currently away on other assignments, so we were chosen for the job.
　We prepared well and arrived, but the fact that it was a special class danger zone didn't mean it was a bad idea.
　And to make matters worse, we encountered a class D demon, the Goblin Elite. And that too, in a pack.
　If it was a single goblin elite, our party would be able to defeat it without danger.
　However, when it comes to a swarm of goblin elites, the danger level rises dramatically.
　A single goblin would be a D-grade goblin, but in a swarm, the risk rises from B-grade to A-grade.
　They are not that big, but they are very powerful and very troublesome.
　So, when Dan was killed by one of the goblin elites that were out of sight, I met ---- him in a desperate situation.
　He was dressed very lightly in a fine shirt and black pants, even though it was an extraordinarily dangerous area. He looked like a nobleman relaxing, holding a spear with an overwhelming sense of presence that somehow made it hard to take your eyes off him, even though he was not adorned with any ornamentation.
　Her jet-black hair, which was a bit long and unusual for this region, flowed beautifully as she moved, and her eyes, reminiscent of obsidian, were sharp, staring at the enemy without caution, as if they could pierce everything.
　We were as taken aback by his beauty as we were by his sudden appearance.
　No kidding, when we first saw him, we really thought he was some noble being.
　Such was his overwhelming strength that he instantly annihilated the goblin elite, and even helped the injured Dan with a mysterious liquid.
　From the looks of it, it wasn't a healing potion, and we were wary at first, but Luluna, who was good at recovery and analysis magic, decided it was safe, so we used it on Dan, and his wounds healed in no time.
　We were surprised again, but relieved to see that Dan had survived.
　However, that moment of relaxation was not good.
　Suddenly, a demon attacked me.
　I was so relaxed that I couldn't react to the demon.
　As I watched the scene in a daze, a strong yet gentle hand suddenly pulled my arm and sheltered me behind him.
　Thanks to him, I was safe, but the demon that attacked me was a "Goblin General".
　The demon that attacked us was the "Goblin General," a Class A demon that was as close to Class S as possible, and its strength was unbelievable.
　We thought it would be no good this time, but we still put up our weapons to make a last stand, but once again, he, the mysterious one, solved the problem.
　He faced the goblin general alone and started to fight.
　Glade, the tank of the party, tried to tell him that we were going to join him, but we were stopped by a look.
　As a result, he had defeated the goblin general. And he didn't even seem to be hurt.
　It was outrageous.
　He looked like a nobleman, but he was that strong.
　After finishing the battle as if nothing had happened, he made a proposal to us.
　He said, "I have a house, why don't you come to it?
　A house in this "great demon world"?
　In the midst of a series of things that made no sense to me, I half-heartedly followed him to .......

Seriously?

　As if to represent the feelings of all of us, Glade muttered that.
　There was indeed a magnificent house built there.
　There was a field in the garden, and this space seemed like another world.
　We were invited into the house and offered chairs, which we sat down on and took a breath, but it still didn't feel real.
　He sat down in front of us and turned his surprisingly well-shaped face toward us.

I'm not sure what to say.

　I ---- Yuuya Tenjou was nervous.
　It was fine until I invited him into my house and sat him down. ...... What do I do from here?
　I had no idea what to do.
　For starters, they don't seem like bad people,.......
　I'll introduce myself first.

I'm Yuuya Amagami. May I ask what your names are?

　I'm not sure if you've heard of me, but I'm sure you've heard of me.
　Then, one by one, she gave her name.

I'm sorry. I'm Shirdi.
I'm Glade. I'm Glade, and I'm the leader of this party.
I'm Fianna.
I'm Lurna.
I'm Dan. Thanks for your help earlier.

　The lightly-armed woman is Shirdi, the heavily-armed middle-aged man is Glade, and the witch-like woman is Fianna.
　The witch-like woman was Fianna, the sister-like woman was Lurna, and the injured man was Dan.
　After hearing their names, I asked them about one thing I was curious about.

I asked, "Do you all belong to any organization?　You said it was a party. ......
"Hmm?　Don't you know?　We're a guild, a party called the Brigade of the Bright Star.
"Guild?

　I learned something about it in school. ...... Was it something like a merchants' guild?

"So you're all merchants.
What?　No, no, no!　We're adventurers, you see. You can see that, can't you?
Adventurers?

　What is it?　What is that mysterious profession?
　As I was seriously twisting my neck, Dan-san opened his mouth.

You don't know about the ...... guild by any chance?
Yes, yes. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never been out of ...... this forest before. ......
"What?

　They were all very surprised by my words. That's right. If you only look at the lines, he's a recluse. I'm not sure what to do. You're ...... young, right?

How old is that ......?　What if it is an elf?
"What?　Elf?　Well, ...... I'm a normal human, and I'm 16. ......



　I just turned 16 rather recently, though. Celebration?　Of course not.
　When I answered, Shirdi and the others looked surprised again.

"Wow, you're younger than us?
Maybe it's because of the atmosphere, but we looked the same age or older. ......
I thought you were over twenty, too. ......

　I'm a genuine Japanese who is seen as a child in other countries, but I was seen as older. I'm not really old, am I?　You're young, aren't you?　I'm starting to feel insecure.

Anyway, I'm 16.
I'm sixteen, anyway. ...... Well, don't be so formal about it, okay?　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. Of course, you can call me by my first name.
"No, but ......
You can call me by my name, of course. I'm not sure if that's a good idea, but it's a good idea. ......
If you say so. ...... Okay.

　I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm not sure what to make of it.

So, about adventurers and guilds, ...... adventurers, as the word implies, are those who venture into various regions.
But adventuring costs money. But adventuring costs money, so you have to register with a guild, an organization for adventurers, and raise money by taking on ...... various people's requests, or chores.
The reason we were in this forest was one of those requests.
I thought it was just an investigation request, but ...... the result is this.

　After listening to Dan and his team's explanation, I was convinced.
　You've come to this dangerous forest at the behest of the guild, right?

What are you guys going to do after this?　Is the request going to end up in failure?
No, the request is just an investigation. If there's nothing unusual, that's fine. If there's a new discovery or something, we'll just report it.
I see. ...... Hmm?　That means I'll be reported to ......?

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　You should not have brought people in so easily after all,......?
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
Oh, I see. ......

　This is a great way to make sure that you do not have to report anything.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to get out of here alive, but I'll be fine.
"Ah, .......

　Grade froze at Fianna's words.
　So it's good that we've come this far, but does that mean we have to go back through that dangerous forest?
　It seemed that everyone except Fianna had forgotten about it and started to think about it at once.

What is it?　Don't you know the way back?
'No, of course not!　No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh, I see.

　I had completely lost track of it. I'm so nervous and excited that my thought process is going crazy.

In that case, do you want me to take you to the entrance of the forest?
What?

　When I suggested this, everyone gave me a dumbfounded look.

I live here, and I'm curious to see what's outside the forest.

　I don't want to follow Greedo and the others to the city, but I still want to see at least a little of what's outside the forest. I want to go to the city eventually.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll help.

　Shirdi asks, but I'm just fine with it, and more importantly, .......

It's a good thing I'm not the only one who's in trouble.

　My grandpa raised me that way.
　My grandfather raised me that way, and as everyone was stunned by my words, I started to get ready.
　Then we set out to get out of the forest.
