In an instant, we transitioned to the cave where the 《Destroyal Class》 demons seemed to be located.

''Mm........Looks like the advance team, that kind of thing, hasn't arrived yet.

　We came to the front of the cave, but not a single person was in sight.

　Did we come too early?
　The first team is still too slow to arrive.

"Well, that's fine. It's easier to do this without being disturbed.

　I muttered to myself and was about to get to work.


Huh?　I thought we were the first to arrive and it looks like there are already people there?


　Suddenly, he heard a woman's voice.

　When I turned back in that direction, there was one woman at the head of the group, and three men behind her.
　It seemed to be a party of adventurers.

'Are you here to take down the Centaur King too?'

　And the woman comes up to me.
　The men behind me don't seem to be so sure, but I didn't sense any hostility from this woman.

Yeah, that's right. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I never told you my name. My name's Eileen!　In case you're wondering, this is still a B-ranked adventurer.

　The woman - Eileen scratches her head in embarrassment.

　As she does so, one of the men in the party

''Oh come on, this kid is one of the first team? Is the Guild of King's Landing insane?

　He spat out the words in a ridiculous tone.

　The other men followed suit and continued their words.

''I hear that the adventurers in King's Landing have been slack lately.
You're not gonna have peace, are you?
In our town, a kid like you wouldn't even be an adventurer.

　Aside from Eileen, the other three men have the same kind of attitude towards me.
　They all give me the same kind of scornful look.

"Hey, Coller!　Don't be so rude to someone you don't know!
"But, Irene. You can't blame me for wanting to interject that when such a weak child is about to take on the Centaur King, can you?

　A man with a smirk on his face as he looks at me.

　Irene clasps her hands together apologetically.

I'm sorry. These people are Asil and Camille and their names are Jill. We're going to have a(n) party now...
This time?　So you're not always working together?

　When I mention the question, Irene moves her head up and down.

I know. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.
'I see. But I was told there were a hundred men in the advance party?　Why are there only four of you, including Irene?

　Even if I'm enough on my own, Irene and the others won't be able to bear it.

　Just as I was thinking that, there was a man behind me... a man named Asil or something like that.

'Ha!　They may have named us the advance team, but we ain't got to be working with them!　The sooner you defeat the Centaur King and get your tantalizing reward money, the better!　It's such a waste to give the credit to the others.

　I breathed.

　It's pretty lousy.
　The guy called Asil or something like that is so disgusting that there are so many gaps while talking like this.
　The other two men are similar.
　It's a good thing that you're able to get the best out of them.

　However, Irene and her team were the first to arrive.
　The other members of the first team wouldn't be able to be counted on either.

'Oh well. I'm going to take down the Centaur King as soon as possible. You guys can wait here.

　If these guys faced the Centaur King, they would just die.

　But even though I've taken that into consideration.

Hey, hey!　You're going to take all the credit for it. That's not going to happen!
"Asil, I don't think this guy can beat the Centaur King, do you?　Fools get killed anyway.
It must be.

　The men guffawed and laughed vulgarly.

　Eileen was the only one who said, "Coller!　He tried to stop me from being rude, but the men didn't seem to hear him.

'Hmmm ... that's a pain in the ass.

　I thought I was going to clean up the mess alone.
　But later on, "I've got it all to myself! And it's a pain in the ass to be flirted with like that.

　You could have ignored it, though.

All right. Then I'll take them all with me.
What?

　Asil wrinkles his brow.
　If I'm the one to defeat the Centaur King, I wouldn't be complaining if Irene and the others were in the same place and space.

'Why are you so high and mighty?　Who do you think you are, huh?
'The weaker the dog, the more likely he is to bark. Shut up and follow me.
Wha...

　He didn't mean to provoke her, but there was anger in Asil's voice.
　It looked like he was going to hit me now.

'Asil!　No!　No fighting here!　Right now, all I care about is defeating the demons!

　Eileen grabbed Asil's arm and was desperately trying to stop him.
　I could have just turned him back.
　But Irene said, "I'm so sorry! I was out of tune as he looked at me.

'Well let's get on our way anyway. It's not like we're going to spend too much time on it.
'But where in this cave is the Centaur King?　The inside of the cave is pretty big, though. I'm sure it would be a pain in the ass to find it...

　Irene dipped a finger to her mouth and tilted her head.

　Indeed, Irene was right.
　Searching in the dark would only lead to exhaustion.

　However.

'What, don't worry about it. We've already seen the Centaur King.
What?

　Irene rolls her eyes.

　The moment we arrive in front of the cave, I know exactly where he is by activating my detection magic at the same time.
　The rest.........

''For someone who isn't used to it, I'm sure it'll feel a little uncomfortable, but bear with me.
Hey, man what are you...

　Before Asil could finish saying everything, he ignored her and held up his hand.

''Searching for the Centaur King from scratch is so sluggish. It's only a split second once you move with shifting magic.


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


''Goooooooooooo!''

　The Centaur King lets out a heroic cry.
　Even before he awakened, magic power rushed from his body, and his sharpened claws would kill a human once he wielded them.

''Ugh, wow!　Why is the Centaur King suddenly in front of you!
'Don't panic!　That's exactly what we had in mind!　If we all work together, I'm sure we'll win!
'It's now or never, before the awakening!　Let's get it over with!

　The shock of the shifting magic had confused Eileen and the others, but when they saw the Centaur King in front of them, they flipped a switch.

　However, there was no need for Irene and the others to touch it.
　They can be buried with a single magic shot.

'Hey, you there. Don't mess with it.

　But ... just as I was about to release the magic, Asil stood in front of me and warned me so.

''Why?''
I won't let you steal all the credit. We'll play the Centaur King on our own and you won't get a share of the credit.

　Haha, that's quite an interesting thing to say.
　It's only because of my magic that we've come this far in the first place.
　But that's what this guy says.

Mm, fine. I won't touch you for a while.

　It would be fun to let him do that.

'Hmph. You'll be shaking in a corner, at best!　Let's go guys!
""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 guy!

　Asil was wounded in places and the sword he was holding was snapped off at the root.
　He fell on his buttocks and looked up at the Centaur King.

''Goooooooooooo!''
'Ohhhhhh!'

　The Centaur King raises his voice as he shakes the cave.
　'Fear' seeped into Asil's eyes as he looked at it.

''Well, I suppose it will be.''

　The Centaur King, and even before he awakened, there's no way he could defeat it with such poor bodywork.

　It's about time.
　There shouldn't be any complaints.

　I took a step forward and headed toward the Centaur King, biting down on my absent-mindedness.
