Tauro spotted the follow-up team and rushed over to inform them of the situation.

The leader of the follow-up team was Leo, the branch chief, carrying a battle axe.

The team consisted of Mauve, a sword wielder who had recently been promoted to C+ rank and “Silver Sword”, a team that consisted of a shield wielder, a thief, and a healer.

“Very well. You can go back to the guild and report to the others, then get some rest.”

With that, Leo and the others quickly ran off to the battlefield.

When Tauro returned to the guild, he reported the situation breathlessly and collapsed on the spot.

After all, he had made the distance from the depths of the forest to the guild in the city and back, from forest to guild to forest to guild, at full speed.

Even with the +5 agility of Angus’s small sword, his speed increased, but his strength remained the same.

He was already at his limit.

He saw Nei panicking, but he lost consciousness and didn’t remember the rest.

When Tauro woke up, the guild was noisy, even though it was the middle of the night.

Apparently, although some people had been injured, the D rank team “5 Arrows” had been rescued safely and the goblins had been wiped out.

Everyone had come back.

He overheard the adventurers talking, and they said that the hastily built team had fought hard to turn the tide of the rescue and that the arrival of Leo and his team had completely wiped out the goblins.

“I’m glad everyone is okay.”

Tauro was relieved, but then the leader of the hastily formed team arrived.

“Thank you, Satou, for the potion. Thanks to that, we were able to fight without worrying about some injuries. The guild will take care of the cost.”

“No, I’m glad you’re all okay, because all I could do was run.”

“No, the Five Arrows didn’t get wiped out because you reported it earlier. You’ve done your job well.”

With a pat on Tauro’s shoulder, the leader walked away.

That said, Tauro felt he was rewarded for being useful even if he had no combat skills..

“Hmm… I’m glad I was useful, but I’m still worried about my lack of combat skills.”

When Tauro returned to his room, he felt that this incident had once again hit him with what he lacked as an adventurer.

The martial art instructor Daz evaluated his weapon handling ability positively, but he still lacked the essential combat skills.

If it was just to protect himself there wasn’t much to think about, but if he had to save someone else, like what happened the last time, he was worried.

I also had a question.

The sword skill +2 that is given to the small sword’s wielder.

He wondered if it was effective on someone who has no sword-wielding skills as he wasn’t sure if you could just add +2 to nothing.

Somehow, he felt that he will be using a sword more than other weapons such as spears, bows and arrows, shields, maces, sticks and martial arts. But that wasn’t all.

“I’m not sure if I’ll be able to confirm this until I’m up against a goblin, but goblins are almost always in groups, so being alone would be dangerous.”

So it would be nice if he could get a temporary team to fight with him, but there was no way they would let a 10 years old kid in on a temporary basis, so he didn’t have a chance to try it out.

“So in the end, I’m still going to be doing the same thing…”

He sighed.

“I guess I’ll just have to train again tomorrow…”

As soon as he lay down on the bed, he fell asleep.
