Dazzle Edition

It's been a week already since Temma left........so fast.

　There had been long term guests in the past, but he had never heard or seen a child who hadn't yet grown up staying for an extended period of time.

　On that day two years ago, Temma wandered into this inn and... what was wrong with her?
　Anyway, since you pay for several months' lodging in advance at once, at first, the patrons were wondering if you were the illegitimate son of a nobleman or something. What a rumor.

　In reality, they hunted an unbelievable amount of monsters in a short time, and paid for it in part.
　Because of this, badly behaved adventurers and adventurers who wanted to have fun got hurt when they tried to cash in on Tenma... Well, thanks to that, things got a lot safer.

　But still, he's a strange guy. You can't get away from the fact that it's a very good idea for a child to be a top-notch adventurer, and he's also a top-notch magician... It's a shame to think about his bad behavior. It's a good thing we didn't antagonize him, because he's a good guy... Speaking of which, there's a rumor that there are more than 50 people who have gone out of business because of their involvement with Tenma.

Are you~ finished with the preparation?

We're almost there!

　Oh no, oh no, I've been thinking and my hands have stopped. The Duke's messenger is coming today, so I must be even more enthusiastic than usual.

　After this, the sweets made at the Fullness Pavilion were spread by Duke Sangha, and the name became known not only in Gunjo City, but also in the royal capital, and many nobles came to buy them, but Dzur set a limit on the number of sweets sold, and didn't allow the nobles to buy them up. Because of this, they became scarce, and before long, Manteetei sweets became a brand.
　The brand name was "The Tenma Seal". Tenma was so embarrassed when she heard about this that she vowed to go and complain in person one day.

Guild Edition

''Deputy guild leader, it's a big deal. This week, the number of adventurers defeating demons has dropped by about 30% compared to last week.

Calm down! That's no surprise. We haven't had Mr. Temma since this week.　

　The staff was in a hurry, yes! And then he returned to his seat.
　Normally, a boy hunting nearly 30% of the number of demons killed by a boy alone should not only be strange, it should be abnormal, but our staff seems to be paralyzed to the point where they would be unconditionally convinced if I told them that Tenma-san did it.

'This might not be a good idea,'

　The paralysis of the staff's senses means that there is a danger of unintentionally imposing an unreasonable defeat on the general (...) adventurers... Let's talk to the guild leader.

''Guild leader, excuse me.''

　I knocked on the guild leader's room.......but there was no answer. I had no choice but to open the door on my own.

That man is........skipping out again?

　The room was empty. Even though it was the usual thing, I could at least say a word to him and then skip it... Well, if I said such a joke, I'd make sure to make it a.m., though.

　I'd be working in anger.

Guild Master!

　He found the guild leader sneaking back in, hidden in the shadows of the adventurers.

'Sorry, sorry, just a change of pace.'

'Where do you need a change of pace!

　As I was getting angry, I noticed that the guild leader was holding a package that smelled good in some way.

''What's that?''

Oh, I'll share this with you and you'll miss it this time.

　Then he let me hold it in my hand.

Cream puffs from the Mangokutei?

　They were the most popular snacks from Manpuku-tei these days.

No~ I managed to get them set aside through my old connections. Nah, please forgive me for this.

　Trying to bribe me with a puff pastry is a nice touch!

Thank you. I'll take it.

　Then I took the whole package.

''Ladies and gentlemen, the guild leader has brought these to you. There aren't enough of them to go around, so the guild leader will bring them to those who can't get them later.

　I shouted to the staff.

'Wait a minute! I didn't say a word about that...

'Right. Guild leader.

'No, that's not...'

Gui-le-de-de-chou.

Yes.....

　This is how I got the promise, but I forgot to consult with him about the most important thing, and I had a hard time.

Wildcat Princess Edition

They're going your way! Nelly!

"Okay, Lily. Millie, please follow me!

Okay. Hooray!

　Today, the three of us have come to kill a rabbit in a field near the city.
　When I say rabbit, I mean a rabbit-shaped demon, called a 'horned rabbit' that has horns about 10cm on its head.
　Its meat is edible, its horns are processed and used in herbal medicine, and its fur is more popular with women than anything else.
　The recommended rank for defeating them is D or higher, so it was supposed to be an easy job for us to do.

''Lily, there's something wrong with you! There are too many of them!

　The three of us have already hunted more than 30 horned rabbits since we just started. By nature, horned rabbits rarely exceed 10 in a flock, except during the breeding season. Even if several flocks are assembled for breeding purposes, it would be odd to not have any cubs or pregnant female rabbits.
　But horn rabbits are so demonic that even the average kid can hunt them, so they can't hurt us. It's just exhausting.
　Normally we don't have to do this kind of work. In fact, we have a whole lot of money left over from the defeat of the bandit group the other day. At that time, we were riding on Tenma's shoulders, and we thought that he was entitled to most of the bounty, but Tenma gave us about 3 million g's, saying that was not good enough. At first Tenma wanted to give us half of the prize money, but it was too much and we were afraid to have such a large amount of money, so we asked him to give us this price.
　But having that money, we became greedy. Well, we wanted to send our younger siblings to a good school.
　Even if it's not a school in the royal capital, there are schools in large cities where ordinary people can attend. But, of course, it costs a lot of money. Moreover, there are only small schools in Gunjo City, so if you were to send them to a decent school, it would be quite expensive, including the cost of lodging. And that's for five students....
　So we work! Seeking a prey that is less dangerous, offers rewards for killing, and yet turns materials into money!

You two, let's take the one we got and get it back to town.

　That was when I suggested it. Out of the bushes, a horned rabbit, almost a meter long, appeared.

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

　It made a high-pitched squeal. As if in response to that cry, a large number of horned rabbits appeared from all around us and surrounded us, wondering where we had been hiding.

'Whoa!' What are these guys?
'One of them would be cute, but this many of them would scare me!

　The other two are also surprised. No matter how small a horned rabbit is, it's normal to be scared of being surrounded by demons about 40cm long... even though not long ago I was often with people who were not normal.

What do you want to do, Lily?
I mean, that big, spontaneous-looking thing.

　Millie's words and a big horned rabbit............................just boss. The boss looks at me with a hateful grin on his face (or maybe it just looks that way).

'When it comes to this, I'll take out that boss!

　With a lot of energy, the three of us tried to launch the attack with our prized partnership. As a result.

Piegeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

　With such a decisive voice, the boss died easily.

''........What the hell is this guy, he's too weak for his big attitude.
It's a total sham.
I guess a horned rabbit is a horned rabbit, no matter how big it is.

　For all the enthusiasm I had put into it, I didn't expect this ending.
　And this outcome was unexpected, even for the hornbills.

'Nellie, Millie, the hornbills have stopped moving! Now's your chance!

　Then he went on to warriors against the surrounding hornbills.



''Welcome back. Ladies and gentlemen of the Wildcat Princess.

　When I got tired and arrived at the guild, I was greeted by Flute, with whom I had recently become friends.

''I'm home~, Flute........''

'Huh? Isn't it kind of weird how tired you are?

　In front of Flute's eyes, I turned the magic bag upside down. This bag was given to us by Temma before he left this city, and it is a very useful treasure.

''What, what is this number!

　Flute shouted in surprise when he saw the horned rabbit (already bled out) coming out with a thud.
　The people who were watching the scene behind me said

Hey, look at that. It's like he can't add up to anything when he's working with Tenma.
No, it's not that, it's that it makes it easier to encounter demons.
I don't know what to say. I don't envy you!

　We heard a voice say, "I'm sorry. Ignoring it, we explained the situation to Mr. Flute.

'Really, that. I didn't know that such a big horned rabbit was leading a large herd...''

　I showed my boss's corpse to Flute, who was a little skeptical.

''I'll go get the guild leader for a moment!

　Saying that, he immediately brought the Guild Chief over. As soon as the guild chief took one look at the corpse.

This guy's a king hornbill. Not many people know this, but hornbills have kings too.

　And then he took the horned hare's hind legs and fished it out.

Even when they're kings, they're so weak. They're often eaten by other monsters and beasts. They are so big and tasty despite being so weak.

　After finishing his explanation, the guild leader went back, saying that he would take care of the rest.

''Flute-san, no matter how many horned rabbits you have, it's hard to take down more than 100 of them.

　No matter how unexpected it was for the guild, I felt like complaining about it.

''I'm really sorry! It's a complete research error on our part. We thought it was a herd of horned rabbits, so we thought it would be no more than 20 at most.

　If it had been an orc, we might have been dead. That's how difficult it is.

"For now, I'd like to ask for cash and rewards. And, of course, a little extra!

'Yes Lily, you're starting to sound somewhat like Temma.

　With that thought in mind, we received our reward for coloring and headed back to the inn.
　Lately, we have been using the Manchuria Pavilion for our inn. As a favor to the old men, they give us priority for the room that Temma was using.

　The three of us talked about the room today. We've been discussing it a lot lately, but at the end of the day.

""I knew it was Temma's fault!"

　We concluded, as if it were a watchword.

　I heard later that the guild had made several other mistakes like the one they made to us, so a simple defeat by the guild staff was decided upon as a training exercise.

Knights of the City of Gunjo, Fourth Unit Edition

There! Stay alert! You're arms are going down!

　These days, the general commander is all over the fourth unit. I'm happy for me personally because it gives me good training, but as a troop leader, I feel very embarrassed.

'Primera! Don't get fuzzy, that's where the two of you are down, clean it up!

　The reason for this is that I see a scene before me that is so miserable.

　My squad is made up of no more than three sons or three daughters of the nobility, and the majority of the squad is made up of those who are no more than three sons or three daughters of the nobility. I don't know why, but recently I've come to think that perhaps an inexperienced person like me is a good fit to lead a squad, as well as an inexperienced person.
　So I'm hoping to improve my strength through the general commander's training and get as close to Temma-san as possible.

　When I first met him, I was shocked. He looked like a child, but the atmosphere he wore gave me the impression that he was a strong man of the past.
　I am the third daughter of the duke's family, and I will definitely not be involved in the succession of the duke's family. I do have the right to inherit, but I gave up early on because I have two older brothers and two older sisters.
　Fortunately, your father doesn't seem to have much interest in political marriages, and even if a marriage proposal comes in from another nobleman, Primera seems to be living as a knight, so she refuses to talk about it, saying that this conversation never happened........

　Although this is a bit of a digression, due to the fact that they are a duke family, they have had many opportunities to see various top-notch soldiers and adventurers since they were young. However, Temma-san was similar to the atmosphere those people had..........or to the contrary, I would say overwhelming.
　When I had a dispute with one of my subordinates, I was so caught up in his murderous atmosphere that I was unable to move.
　After that, I had several opportunities to meet him, but each time I forgot that he was younger than me and my respect for him grew.
　The other captain or something would often say that he couldn't tell which of us was the older nobleman when he saw me talking to Temma in a respectful manner.
　I thought it was inevitable. After all, the other side could single-handedly take on a group of noblemen's hired hands and win a complete victory without suffering a single scratch, and even if we were to take on them all together, they would be no match for us.

　While I was thinking about this, the noblemen from my squad were all crawling to the ground.

''Alright, that's it for today. Get a proper rest and don't be tired tomorrow!''

　The commander-in-chief said and left the training camp.

'Is everyone okay?'

　At those words, it's okay~, a somewhat dumb voice could be heard saying.
　The men of the fourth squad were often ridiculed by the rest of the squad, but lately it seems that more and more of them have changed their minds after seeing them training hard like this, and some of them are now giving advice.

　Considering that, the fact that the top of the knights were beaten to a pulp by Tenma-san must have been a good medicine in reverse. There were some noblemen in my squad as well, and some arrogant ones that could be said to be characteristic of nobility, but recently I haven't seen any of those things anymore.

　If things continue at this rate, it doesn't seem too far away that the Fourth Squad will become a full-fledged knight's unit, not a mere baggage unit... I hope there aren't any deaths before that.

　I was hoping so as I looked at my subordinates still crawling around.
