I restored the skills I had replaced in case I couldn't make it.
　Just in case I wasn't able to defeat them with my attack, I was going to escape, so I added agility enhancement to all of my equipment.

　I'm really glad that was a groundless fear.
　But still, Mithril?

　Maybe it's because I got the Mithril Magic Ore, but I can now make new items such as the Mithril Sword.
　However, since my level is still not high enough, I can only make these swords if I use mithril.

　You can make equipment using Mithril Demon Ore........for now, it's a weapon, right?
　Armor will be enough for later.
　

　--I've gone too far.
　I've used thirty Weapon Break swords.
　Perhaps the damage could have been contained a little more.

　........But it's also true that I didn't have enough time to add or subtract.
　I tried to improve my abilities by adding a large amount of skills to my equipment, but the skills that were given to me only increased slightly after I exceeded 20, and it wasn't enough to give me an advantage in battle.

　In the first place, even before that, there were no blatant enhancements like making my body lighter, so maybe it wasn't as strong as I thought it would be if I gave it more than I thought it would be.
　Anyway, it's a good thing we beat it.

　I'll have to meet up with Warrior and the others first.
　But there's nothing in the area where I used my visual enhancement.

　Is it still in the forest?
　Or have they already completed the evacuation?
　...I hope they have evacuated the area.

　Once we left the forest, my doubts were confirmed.
　There were multiple footprints there. Maybe they were human ... eight in number?

　There were other footprints besides those of Mr. Warrior and the others, but analysis showed that they were his, so I headed into town to follow them.

　There was a commotion in the guild.

''Mithril, the rabbit kangaroo that ate Mithril, huh.......''

　The receptionist was muttering to himself.
　Warrior and the others had already arrived at the guild as they had returned to the city at full speed.
　The receptionist who received their report, and through the receptionist, the guild staff had all heard about the situation.

''How can that be? I'm sure they're just saying that to cover up the fact that those guys failed their request.

　An adventurer who was making deliveries at a nearby reception desk said so teasingly.
　Racine and Warrior frowned at his expression, but the receptionist said it once and for all.

''........He's already hunted the required number of rabbit kangaroos. There's no need to go to the trouble of telling such a lie.''

　The adventurer who returned that was also frowning.

''........I'm sorry, but I can't let you send an adventurer right now!
'No!　I have friends!　Maybe I'll still be able to run away and--
There's no such thing as a 'just in case'. It's impossible to escape the power of a rabbit kangaroo's legs.
But...
Calm down, Mr. Warrior!　...Okay. When your opponent is a Mithril Rabbit Kangaroo, you need to prepare an A-ranked adventurer!　This isn't just a problem for this city!

　The receptionist shouted as he yelled, and everyone understood the gravity of the matter.
　If it was just some low grade demon ore, this wouldn't be a story.
　But with Mithril, it was a different story.

　A demon that gained the power of mithril would be extremely powerful.
　Some of them would gain so much power that they would be destroyed if it was a small village.
　That was why it was so hectic in the guild.

　Some of the adventurers had already gotten into their carriages to evacuate the city.
　If time passed, this information would flow through the adventurers to the entire city.
　After receiving a single voice from the receptionist, Warrior could only bite her lip.

''d*mn........!　You can't even say thank you for helping me out...!
....

　All four of them had dark expressions on their faces.
　There was no joy in their hearts that they had accomplished their promotion request.
　They were simply confronted with the reality of their profession as adventurers.

　The receptionist would have normally followed up with them like that.
　But since the Mithril Rabbit Kangaroo was out, there was a lot of work to be done.
　The four of them stood there for a while.

　Someone tapped them on the shoulder.

'Oh, thank goodness you're here.

　Lelius let out a breath of relief and looked at them.
　Warrior's eyes were wide open.
　She was still trembling in fear of the mithril rabbit kangaroo, as the people around her didn't know Lelius in the first place.

'I'm glad to see you all are okay. I was worried about you.
Are you sure it's Lelius?　You're alive!
Shouldn't I be alive?
No, no, no, you'll live.
Lelius!

　Chiyu hugged Lelius while blowing off the warrior who was about to speak.
　Lelius' eyes were black and white at the sudden touch.

'Good!　Stay alive!　Honestly!

　Chiyu pushes Lelius down, tears spilling out of his eyes.

'If Lelius-san hadn't saved me!　We were dead!　Thank you so, so much!
Oh I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry for embarrassing you at the time. It's... well, it wasn't anything personal, you know?
I don't care about that!
Oh, well that's good.

　As Relius exhaled, the returning receptionist opened her eyes.

'Lele Lelius-san!　Wh-why are you here?
Well no, I mean.
'You were fighting a mithril rabbit kangaroo!　Good, well, be safe!
Well, you know,
'So what happened to the Mithril Rabbit Kangaroo!　You're still in the woods, right?
We got him down.
'Huh!　Oh, really?
Yes. Here's some material.

　Handing the mithril to the receptionist, she looked at it for a while and then screamed.

'Ho, it's like a real mithril, isn't it.......'

　When the receptionist said that, they all looked at Lelius in unison and shouted in unison.
