There is a limit to how much luggage you can carry, and traveling outside of dangerous towns can be physically and mentally draining. The basic rule of travel is to stop at towns along the way to rest and refuel.
However, if they did not stop at the town of Gula, it indicated that Krai was in a greater hurry than he had imagined.
Even with their different abilities, it would be difficult for Luda and the others to catch up with them.

At this point, they had no choice but to go to Gladys' territory at full speed, praying that they would make it in time.

At that moment, a voice suddenly called out from behind him.

''Did you guys just say the word 'thousand changes' at ......?

The person who called out to me was a tall, mature man with a sharp look in his eyes. He was carrying a paper bag in both hands, as if he had been out shopping.
His clothes were made of cloth, but his appearance and the muscles all over his body indicated that he was a competitor - and probably a superior one. His skin was tanned, and his long gray hair was tied back in a bun. Considering his age, he was probably a much older hunter than Luda.

It's not as intimidating as the Zekage, but it's no ordinary person.

'............ what are you?

Gilbert replies bluntly. It's not malicious. Luda, who has known him for some time, understands. Gilberto just doesn't know any other way to behave.
But that doesn't mean they'll get it.

Luda tensed up for a moment, but the man didn't seem to mind. He just looked at Luda and the others as if he were inspecting them, and then he relaxed his mouth and smiled.

'Suddenly, I'm sorry. I just heard a voice. ...... We, too, had a business to attend to.

'............ Anyway, can you tell me your name first? You're in the same business, right? I'm Luda Rombeck. And you are?

It's too early to tell, but you don't seem to be unreachable.

'Well, well, well. It's not often I come forward these days, so I forgot, sorry. As you can see, we're colleagues. I'm--aye lariah. I'm A. Rallier, deputy leader of the Foreign Mist, led by Mr. Arnold.

The man replied with a wry smile as he introduced himself to Luda with caution.

It was only by chance that Ae Larrier caught the words.

The battle with the Thunder Spirit in the town of Elan. After the fierce battle with many demons, including orcs, the Foreign Mist was now in a state of extreme discomfort in every sense of the word.
The members were still mentally and physically exhausted, and had used up most of their consumables, including potions, and the carriage they had just bought was damaged. His weapons also need maintenance and replacement due to damage and wear, and it will take time for him to get back to full strength.
The town of Elan and the town of Gura are offering rewards, so you are not in financial trouble, but there are many things in this world that money alone cannot solve.

As the deputy leader of the party, Aei was running around the town, replenishing supplies and gathering information that would lead to the destination of the "Thousand Transformations" in order to resolve such a situation.
It was during this time that the name Senhenhenbanka came to his ears.

The people he was talking to were a group of six young hunters. They were about the middle of the pack in terms of ability. Since they were not wearing the symbol of the Footprints of the Beginning, they were not members of the same clan.

I was a little lost, but I decided to talk to them.

I needed something to change the tide. And the party in front of him could be either an enemy or an ally of the One Thousand and One Changes.

The current situation of the party was close to the worst.
They were exhausted, mentally and physically, from repeated heavy fighting.

Logically, it would not be wise to start a fight with a high-level party under such circumstances.
But at the same time, Aei understood the leader's thought that as a hunter, he could not afford to retreat.

Arnold was now losing his cool due to the repeated provocations. But that doesn't mean he's misjudging the important part.

Ray and Arnold have known each other for a long time. They have known each other since the very beginning, before Arnold became a hunter and formed a party.
We've always been a tripod, with Arnold making the decisions and Ay supporting him.

Arnold Hale is an extremely talented man as a hunter. He is a man of talent, brave and courageous, and although his thoughts are a bit on the direct side, he has the courage to listen to the words of his friends. He understands better than anyone else that the current situation is not good for the Misty Thunder Dragon.

But at the same time, the situation is already not at a point where it can be easily retreated.

He is being threatened, accused of being a demon, and even provoked for no good reason. If he retreated like this, it would not only damage the reputation of the Misty Thunder Dragon from the outside, but it would also leave a bad taste in the party's mouth.
It's Arnold's charisma that makes the Misty Thunder Dragon a powerful party. The Thunderous Flash must be the strongest man. It has to be brave and bold.
The fact that he ran away unceremoniously without a fight would surely create mistrust within the party someday, and cause a major rift.

What is needed more than anything else to resolve the situation is 'conviction'.
Something was needed to convince the Explorers Society, the outside party, the party members, and Arnold himself.

The quickest way to do this was to cross swords with the Thousand Transformations. If he won, that would be fine, and if he lost, Arnold would be convinced that he was not strong enough. The party members would not complain about their leader's boldness in taking on a superior opponent.

As for the rays, they would like to say that they did not doubt their victory, but their opponent was too unbeatable. It was natural for him to evade the pursuit of the stingrays, and he had no idea how he had managed to stun the orc pack.

However, as the deputy leader, I can only trust the leader and do my best for the party.

Meeting an acquaintance of the Thousand Transformations was the luckiest thing I could have done at the beginning of this journey. If he's hostile, we can fight with him, and if he's friendly, we can use him to mildly shake him up.

I listened to him as he walked. He seemed wary at first, but perhaps it was a good thing that I revealed myself to him, or perhaps he thought we were on the same side, but he soon seemed to open up and told me his purpose.

'I see,...... Gladys territory,...... nobleman,...... I heard we were on vacation, but I didn't think you'd treat a nobleman's request as a vacation. ......'

'We were supposed to be in this town, but we struck out ......'.

In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at the following.

The letter was delivered. It's fortuitous that we know where we're going. Even if we can't retrace our steps, we can always ambush them there and meet them someday.

Gilberto says to Ei, who is walking next to him, as they exchange conversation and formulate their future plans in his mind.
In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a number of things you can do.

'Well, I didn't know that level 7 hunters were also chasing that guy. You guys, level 7 means you're really strong, right? I saw that battlefield. Is it true that he fought with only one party?

'Yeah, the rumor is true. It wasn't an easy victory, though. I've fought against many before, but never with that many.

Especially the last fire spirit was the worst. It scorched the whole plain and burned away the crazed demon horde, but it was the cause of more than half of the wounds suffered by the Foreign Mist.
The use of spirits is the highest level of the mage's art. In particular, when it comes to the art of not only borrowing power but also summoning the spirits themselves to fight, the difficulty rises even higher. It is unlikely that a non-mage could do this, but if it were possible, the humiliation would be quite severe.

In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you'll want to take a look at the web site.



'Yes. I'd have to ask the leader, but ...... we're all after the same thing anyway. Would you like to go with me?'

If you have friends, they'll have to do something about it.
Arnold might not like it, but this was not the time to choose the means.

Gilbert and Luda looked at each other when Aei proposed.
