66 Episode 65 Promotion Exam 2




 

 We leave the city and continue north.
 If we continue on, we'll end up in a forest with a rabbit kangaroo.

'So you two have come out of the village.
Yeah. It's like we're in training. There's no one else in the village to fight, so we'll have to be the guards. You know.
Uh-huh.
If I could, I'd find a strong, young adventurer who could help me find a strong, young adventurer...
Ugh.

 Mr. Racine said jokingly, and Mr. Chiyu's face turned red.

 Rashin and Chiyu are from a village that is not often visited by people.
 The village hires adventurers to help them deal with their demons, but the adventurers are now very old.

 It's hard to find new adventurers, so they'll have to do it themselves! So Mr. Racine and Mr. Chiyu began to be adventurers.

''Indeed. If they find a good husband, they might not have to fight on their own.
'That's what I'm talking about. You've got such a good one, Chiu.
'Yikes! Don't do it, Racine!

 Rashin-san teasingly shakes Chiyu-san's chest.
 
 I removed my gaze and Shiif-san and Warrior-san also laughed as if they were troubled.

''So, how are the three of you?''

 It's our turn. 
 I answer with a light shrug of my shoulders.

'Ah, I guess I'm just trying to make some money in my free time in the future. I don't have the same noble ideas as you two.

 I have a dream.
 It's to be the strongest and best blacksmith you can be.
 But I don't think I need to bother talking about it.

I'm not going to be able to say it. We're as close as we're going to get.
Yes, sir.
'I'm glad to hear that. What about you, Mr. Warrior?

 I shook him off and he smiled as I shook him off and slapped his chest.

I have a dream to become an S-ranked adventurer! We're trying to be strong for that!
"S-rated, huh? You're a boy's dream after all?

 Mr. Warrior nodded strongly at Mr. Racine's question.

''That's right! Hey, Lelius, Sif!
'No, I'm not so sure about that.
I'm not sure I'm going to be able to...

 Of course, if I could go up to S-rank, I would, but there is no such thing as a priority.
 The reason why I longed to be an adventurer in the first place - or is it different from an aspiration?

 I used to have the desire to kill the monster that killed my parents.
 However, that's not so much now.
 Thanks in part to my stepfather and stepmother, I had a stronger desire to repay those two for their kindness now.

'Looks like I'm out of the loop,'

 'Grin,' said Mr. Racine, and Mr. Warrior came to stare at us.

'What the hell! So you have some other goal or dream?
.... hmmm. I suppose. I don't have the same great dreams as everyone else, I guess. I just want to have some freedom of movement.
Am I free?

 At Sif's words, Chiu nodded her head.

''Yeah. I was born sickly from birth, but since I received my profession and the sacred artifacts, I'm incredibly light. So I'm in the middle of searching for my dream now, I guess.

 Haha, said Sifu with a smile.
 At his words, everyone sounded impressed.

 .........I see.
 So that's the kind of change you're going to see after receiving a divine weapon or profession.
 I was also impressed, but then I caught the demons with visual enhancement.

 They're goblins.

''Ah, sorry. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but we found the goblins.
'What? Really?!

 Mr. Warrior looks at me in surprise.

'Yes, sir. If we continue on, we'll engage them, what do you want to do?
You got that right.
I have my own divine artifacts that can be used for detection.
'Oh, really? That would be great!

 Well that's good. This seems to be enough to get through.
 I intend to hide the power and abnormality of the blacksmith's power and abnormality, but that doesn't mean I want to take the trouble to do it.
 As for the part that can be fooled by, attached to a sacred weapon, I intend to fool them.

''Then it's going to be easy to find the demons! I'm so jealous!

 Mr. Racine smiled happily too.
 Sifu exhaled as if relieved.

''It's the most frightening thing a demon can do to you. I'm thankful that I don't have to be on guard against that. So what do we do now, leader?

 Warrior is enthralled when she is called out.

'Leader that sounds good.

 No, I don't mean that, we need to plan for it.
 Mr. Warrior shakes his head in a huff and then looks at us.

'Well, we don't know what we can do to each other, do we? Let's check it out while we're at it.

 Come to think of it, it was.

''Warrior-san, do you have a problem with using your strength in close quarters to fight?
Oh, oh! That's right! We're going to crush the enemy with this axe!

 Mr. Warrior said happily.
 That seemed to be a common understanding among all of them.

''Is it correct that Sifu-san is good at using his legs to fight?
Yeah, I guess. You got it all figured out.
I can tell by the equipment. Is Mr. Racine somewhere in between?
'Yeah, yeah ... yes. Did you know that too, just by looking at it?
''Yes. So, Chiyu-san, it's a long range attack and recovery, right?
Yes. That's awesome!

 I check in with each of them and soon the sharing of information is over.
 Everyone looks at me in amazement, and to explain it, I introduce myself.

'I'm a blacksmith by profession. A blacksmith can make weapons, right? I don't know if that's why, but I can kind of imagine what kind of attack they're going to launch with what they're equipped with.

 We'll talk about the profession sooner or later anyway.
 There's no need to hide it.
 Everyone looks at me as if I'm surprised.

''....I see. But speaking of blacksmiths........well.......er, that's the thing, right?

 Mr. Racine says, as if it's hard to say.
 The others seem troubled, too.
 Unfortunate job, they are all still aware of it.

 Would it have been better to tell them after the battle was over?
 As I thought that, Warrior-san laughed.

'So even a blacksmith can fight well enough to get a promotion request, right?

 Everyone looked at Ms. Warrior with a gasp at her words.

''That's right. I can use this sword for melee, but I can also throw a knife to cover you. I'd like to adapt to the party's movements.
Could you make that knife because you're a blacksmith?
Yes, sir.
Well I see. I see. So, for now, let's use our respective strengths to fight the goblins!

 Mr. Warrior summarized that, and the others nodded.
 For now, the part about being a blacksmith has been conveyed.

 The rest would be fine as long as they could move so that they wouldn't be slowed down in the actual battle.
