It's been a month since then. We're taking our lunch break around the fire.

　I had received a request from Sheila and Kåñëa.

　It was a request for me to add a special training program.

　However, it was on the premise that I would interrupt them if a nomination request or emergency request came in the middle.

　That's why the moment the adventurer card rang out, the two words "interrupt" came to mind.

　However, my card didn't receive any notification.

　It seemed to have been sent to Kuena and Sheila.

'What was the request?'

　I ask as I nibble on a new tree.

　The girls have become more than strong enough in the past month. That's exactly why they don't need any more special training.

　At first, their faces were full of exhaustion, as if they were on the edge of their limits, but now, even in the depths of the forbidden forest, they were smiling with a smile on their faces with room to spare.

　Well, it's probably more on the side of being relieved because the demons don't come near me when I'm around.

　Normally when I'm away from them, the demons are attacking the two of them without mercy. Even so, now Kåñëa and Sheila have the ability to deal with most species.

　So if it's a good request for a percentage, the training can be over now.

　However, Sheila put the card back in her pocket.

'It's an urgent request given to B-rank and above. War. The Stillbeats Kingdom and the Weiler Empire are going to fight each other. The Stillbeats Kingdom is requesting our participation in the war.

Yeah. I mean, when did you get a "B" rating?

Hmm. You can do it. You can do it!

　He stretched his chest, shaking his chest as he twinkled his stars.

　Well, Riff even said that it was good to be higher in terms of ability.

　This level of promotion speed is probably appropriate.

''That, I mean, if it's a B-rank or higher, I should be getting requests for me.

　Quena says to my question.

　She doesn't put the card away in her pocket.

'Probably the Weyla Empire. You've got Yuy in your charisma party, right?

'Yes, but ...... is it a discovery on the part of the guild?'

Yeah. It's not worth it for the party to clash with each other.

''Oh, Yui didn't leave the Weira Empire, did she?

You're a double agent. It's too much work. Not many people do it.

　Kuehna is as well-informed as ever.

　Suddenly, I'm curious.

'Is Kåñëa going to take it?　This request.

　Unlike Sheila, Kåñëa doesn't tuck the card into her pocket and looks at the request.

　She seems at least interested in taking it.

'...... Well, yeah. The Weira Empire is the enemy.

　So it's a chance to look back at her sister.

　However, Sheila doesn't seem to be pleasantly surprised and looks at Kåñëa bitterly.

''This is clearly a losing battle, isn't it?　In the Weyla Empire, which is part of the small nation of Stillbeats and one of the powers, ......

'I'll leave instantly if I feel like I'm going to lose. It seems like I'm getting paid just for competing, so I'll do what I can.

Mmm.

　Quena says with a spare smile.

　Sheila still looks unhappy. Then, as a push, Kåñëa winks at her with a cheerful pose.

'Besides, I've had Jide working out in the forest floor with a designated S-rank for the past month, you know?　I'm not going to lose easily.

　In fact, the girls have gotten stronger in the past month.

　To the extent that they can live for a week at the bottom of the forbidden forest while fighting without me. Of course, that's putting the amount of time they've gotten used to fighting the demons in this forest.

''Then I'll go too!　Then I have no complaints!

　Sheila says, huffing and puffing, her fists clenched in front of her face.

　Even I know that even I can't stop this from happening.

'I can count on Sheila to be there for me.

Well, you're a very naive person.

　Sheila's face breaks into a radiant smile, as if she was happy to be praised.

''Well, I'm a freak, but I'm sure of my powers.

"It's rude to be a freak!

It's true.

Mwah!

　The two of them argue together in a friendly manner.

　Well, these guys will be fine.

　They've been through the battlefield before. It's a good thing that they're not the only ones who can do this.

　I've met some of them.

'So I guess we're dismissed. I guess training is over.

Uh, Jeed is okay with it?　Even if you can't eat the food I make anymore.

...... I don't like that, but I'm also tempted to eat the old man's spit meat from the stall.

What?　Is my food of street-level quality?

No, no, no, no. The street vendors are like fancy goods to me. Not because of the price, but because of the taste.

　Sheila seemed shocked that the object of comparison was a stall.

　But for me, too much fatty meat isn't chewy and makes me sick to my stomach.

　A stall is about as good as it gets.

'Something doesn't sit right with me!　You're coming to Kåñëa's house when you get back!　Then I'll let you eat my true home-cooked food!

"Sure, sure, I'll look forward to it.

　Sheila points at me with a bishie.

　We walked out of the forbidden forest floor while having such a conversation.
