As you can imagine, one piece isn't much of a warm-up, is it? If you'd shown up in a group, it would have loosened you up a bit.
If that had happened, I would have put the whole thing on you and gone ahead of you.

　I took the events that unfolded in front of me as a matter of course, but the beastman who was guiding me, Gray, froze with a stunned expression.

It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it. ...
'This guy is one of the best adventurers out there. He's the kind of guy who, if you listed the people on earth in order of strength and counted them from the top, his name would come up in no time at all. I don't think he'd normally be able to do it like that.

　We add a supplement to Gray, who is about to have a major misunderstanding, and quickly resume our movement.

　The Swamp Orcs are completely comatose and are definitely not going to wake up until we leave.

　As expected, it seems that a demon of about the size of a normal animal is nowhere near enough to make Travis struggle.

　Even when compared to more than ten years ago when we belonged to the same party, its power and speed have improved dramatically.

　This guy hasn't reached his peak yet - unlike me, he'll be at the forefront for the foreseeable future - an act that once again convinced me that he's not yet at his peak.

'Um, ......!'

　Leila runs up beside Travis, who is leading the way, at a small run.

''Oh, good job!
Oh ...... yeah. It's no big deal at all.

　Travis is trying to maintain a party leader-like attitude while being pressured by Leila, who is approaching him on the verge of spinning out of control.

　Several adventurers belonging to the party led by Travis have also joined the search members this time.

　They probably don't want to show the younger girls they usually work with to be overwhelmed by being missed by a much younger girl in front of them.

　This area is also very Travis-like in its behavior.

　Well, the members of this guy's party are probably smiling at the way their leader is trying to maintain his dignity, knowing that he doesn't like young girls and all that.

It's a good thing that there are demons called swamp orcs. Is it a different demon than the trolls in the picture story?
'There are regional differences in the designation of demons. In the north, they would have been called trolls. Well, the troll I encountered in a northern dungeon before was about my height in leg length alone.

　Travis raises his gaze as he walks through the forest.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

...... I wasn't there, but I've heard rumors that someone that big was out there.
'Really? It's going to be worth cutting.
That's the first thing that comes to mind?　Call it what it is.
That's usually the way most sword-wielding people at our age think. Isn't it the same with Sakura?　I'm not participating this time because I'm on the fourth level (daillon).

　Although I wondered if that wasn't prejudice, if I recall, I'm convinced that young adventurers with an avant-garde orientation were similar.

　It is normal for those who are armed for self-defense in times of crisis to not want to fight strong monsters if at all possible.

　However, those who are actively training their fighting skills and have mastered such a line of skills tend to prefer requests and searches aimed at defeating strong monsters.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the next few weeks.

"So do you, Chandler,

　Garnett didn't stop, but turned around to face the members of the White Wolf Knights who occupied the back half of the ranks.

'An?　I'm not really attracted to demons or anything like that. If you're as smart as a human, I'm interested in you.
He's not a monster anymore, he's a demon.
Maybe. If anything, I'd rather have a shot at that A-rank. When I'm done with this dungeon, I'll be ready to do battle with him.

　Chandler smiles belligerently and looks at Travis' back as he leads the way.

　This guy is quite a battle maniac as well.

　However, he seems to be the type of person who considers fighting against a monster beast to be similar to 'hunting', and seems to take it as a different matter than fighting a human opponent.

　The other members, Hild and Ambrose, are not interested in fighting, and they seem to be discussing the toxicity of swamp orcs.

　Ambrose seems to have noticed that I'm looking at them - even though his head is completely covered by his hood and bangs - and he turns the topic he and Hild are discussing to me as well.

'I've heard that troll blood has medicinal properties. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about the swamp orc blood with the help of Erica from the walnut road. It could yield new medicines.
...... For now, our priority is to move to our destination for now. If anything, it's probably best to submit a request to the guild to collect materials when we get back.

　We can't make a detour to collect materials now, and by the time we get back, they'll have long since woken up and fled.

　Since we can't look for them and defeat them on the way back, it's best to turn them into normal requests for adventurers.

　I persuade Ambrose and Hild in the form of "I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that," and while I'm at it, I turn my gaze to Ulysses, who is walking the farthest behind.

　--but Ulysses somehow let out a sigh with a melancholy look on his face.
