I was instantly transported to a cave where a demon of the "annihilation level" was said to be.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

　I've been trying to get to the front of the cave, but I can't find a single person.

　Maybe I came too early.
　I guess I came too early. Anyway, it's a long shot that the first team hasn't arrived yet.

Oh well. It's easier to do things when there's no one in the way.

　I muttered, and was about to get to work.


"What?　I thought we'd be the first, but it looks like there's already someone here.


　Suddenly, I heard a woman's voice.

　When I looked back in that direction, there was a woman in the front and three men behind her.
　They seemed to be a party of adventurers.

"You've come to defeat the Centaur King too?

　The woman said as she approached me.
　The men behind me didn't seem so sure, but I didn't sense any hostility from this woman.

"Oh, yeah. So you're the first team, huh?
Yes, I am. Oh, I haven't told you my name yet. I'm Eileen!　I'm still a B-rank adventurer.

　The woman, Irene, scratches her head in embarrassment.

　As she did so, one of the men in the party said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Is the guild in King's Landing insane?

　The guild of King's Landing is insane?" he said in a ridiculous tone.

　Following that, the other men continued to speak.

"I hear the adventurers in King's Landing have been slacking off lately.
They're just a bit lazy, aren't they?
In our city, a child like you wouldn't even be able to become an adventurer.

　Irene, but the other three men all have a similar attitude towards me.
　They were all looking at me with a scornful look.

"Koko, kora!　You shouldn't be so rude to someone you've never met before.
"But, Irene. But Irene, you can't blame me for wanting to interrupt such a weak child who is about to take on the Centaur King, can you?

　The man smirked as he looked at me.

　Irene clasped her hands together apologetically.

"I'm sorry. These people are Assir, Camille, and Jill. We're going to have a party this(...) time. ......
"This time?　So you don't always have a party?

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

Yes. I've always done it alone, but ...... I don't think I can handle it alone this time. I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I'm sure you've heard of it.
I see. But I heard that there were a hundred people in the advance party.　Why are there only four of you, including Irene?

　Even though I'm good enough on my own, Irene and the others may not be enough.

　As I was thinking this, a man named ...... Asil, who was standing behind me, said.

What?　It's called the advance team, but there's no need to cooperate!　The sooner we defeat the Centaur King, the sooner we can get our reward!　It would be a shame to give the credit to the others.

　He exclaimed.

　That's pretty lame.
　This guy, Assir, is so full of holes even as we speak, it's mind-boggling.
　The other two men are similar.
　Irene is the only one who seems to have a little more ability than the others. ...... Still, I don't think the four of them can defeat the Centaur King.

　But Irene and the others were the first to go.
　The other members of the first team won't be able to do as well.

"Oh well. I'm going to go kill the Centaur King. You guys can wait here.

　If they face the Centaur King, they'll probably die.

　But even though I cared for them.

"Hey, hey!　You're just going to take all the credit. That's not going to happen!
"Assir, I don't think this guy can beat the Centaur King.　He'll kill the fool anyway.
I bet.

　The men laughed and laughed and laughed.

　Eileen was the only one who said, "Oh, my God!　You can't be rude," she said, trying to stop them, but they didn't seem to hear her.

"Hmmm, ...... is a pain in the ass.

　I thought I'd just leave it to myself.
　I was going to leave him to his own devices. But it would also be troublesome if they later complained that I was hogging it all.



　I could have just ignored it, though.

"Fine. Then I'll take you all there.
"What?

　Asil wrinkled his brow.
　If I'm the one to defeat the Centaur King and Irene and the others were in the same place and space, they wouldn't complain.

I'm not sure why you're so uptight.　Who the hell do you think you are, man?
"Weak dogs bark better. Just shut up and follow me.
Hey, ......!

　I didn't mean to provoke him, but I could hear the anger in Asil's voice.
　He looked like he was about to hit me.

"Assir!　No!　Don't fight in this place!　We should only worry about defeating the demon now!

　Aileen grabbed Asil's arm and desperately tried to stop him.
　I could've just turned her around and killed her.
　But Irene said, "I'm so sorry! But then Irene looked at me and said, "I'm so sorry!

...... Let's get a move on. It's not like it's going to take too much time.
But where is the Centaur King in this cave?　The cave is quite large. It's going to take a lot of effort to find him. ......

　Irene put her finger to her mouth and tilted her head.

　Irene was right.
　If we search in the dark, we'll just end up exhausted.

　But...

"Don't worry. I've already found the Centaur King.
"What?

　Eileen rolls her eyes.

　The moment you arrive in front of the cave, you can activate your detection magic at the same time, so you know exactly where he is.
　All you have to do is go to .......

For those of you who aren't used to this, it's going to feel a little creepy, but ...... bear with me.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

　Before Asil could finish everything he said, he ignored him and held up his hand.

It's a bit of a hassle to find the Centaur King from scratch. It's only a matter of time before you're transported by transference magic.


　After saying that, he activated his transfer magic and arrived in front of the Centaur King in an instant.


"GOOOOOOOOO!

　The Centaur King let out a yell.
　Even before he awakened, his body was rushing with magic power, and his sharpened claws could kill a human with a single swing.

"Whoa!　Why is the Centaur King suddenly right in front of me?
Don't panic!　It's just as we originally planned!　If we all work together, we'll be able to win!
Now's our chance before he wakes up!　Let's get this over with!

　The impact of the transference magic had left Irene and the others confused, but when they saw the Centaur King in front of them, they flipped the switch.

　However, there was no need for Irene and the others to take any action.
　It can be buried with a single magic shot.

"Hey, you there. Don't you dare touch it.

　But just as I was about to unleash my ...... magic, Asil stood in front of me and warned me.

"Why?
I'm not going to let you take all the credit. I'm not going to let you take the credit. We're going to be Centaur Kings on our own and you're not going to get a share.

　Haha, that's a funny thing to say.
　It's my magic that got us here in the first place.
　But that's what he's saying.

"Well, good. I'll stay out of it for now.

　Maybe it's worth a try.

"Hmm. Just stay in the corner and shake it out!　Let's go!
""Oh!"

　At Asil's command, they all took on the Centaur King at once...



　Five minutes later.

"It's a monster!　There's no way I can beat this thing!

　Asil was wounded in many places, and the sword he was holding was broken at the root.
　He was on his butt, looking up at the Centaur King.

"GOOOOOOO!
Whoa!

　The Centaur King shakes the cave.
　Asyl's eyes were filled with fear.

"Well, I suppose it will.



　There's no way that the Centaur King, even before he's awakened, can be defeated with such poor bodywork.

　It's about time.
　He shouldn't complain.

　I took a step forward and headed towards the Centaur King, biting back a sigh.
