Volume 2 - CH 207

Adventurers are busily preparing to set out.

Adventurers do not make much preparation because they go to fulfill their requests at their own convenience.

That is why the preparations are so fast and efficient.

It was today, wasn’t it?

Everyone is already prepared to go to battle, right?

I mean, they’re hardly moving.

They’re just waiting for instructions, aren’t they?

And why am I here, too?

Are you sure you want me here?

I’ve been a mere ornament since a while ago, doing nothing.

Maria is giving instructions on how to procure supplies, and the other guild members are bowing to the adventurers and asking them for favors.

Why am I here anyway—–?

Come to think of it, I wonder if Reizen and the others are alright?

I should have given them one of my golem too.

Hm, I haven’t been able to make the most of my skills yet.

In fact, there are even some skills that I have never used before.

I mean, the name itself is dangerous.

I can’t just throw them out there for practice.

It would be like the second time I use [Heaven Split]

I didn’t know there were other guilds besides this one.

I had no idea.

I guess one guild can’t handle 4,000 adventurers, right?

There are some small guilds and large guilds.

I heard that the services are the same in all guilds, so it doesn’t matter where you go.

But there is only one guildmaster, they said.

The rest will be branch managers of the guild.

It’s like a head office and a branch office.

“Party leaders, gather around!”

Houen is giving them orders.

I think Hohnen is good at leading others.

I think he might have been a student council president or something in his previous life.

Though, he’s actually a self-made man, isn’t he?

Hmm, this is the first time Houen has made a good impression on me.

Well, that’s just my personal opinion.

Not for me to say.

Dang! Dang!

“Listen!”

Houen struck the floor twice with his spear and made a loud noise, instantly quieting the place down.

You startled me completely., didn’t you?

“Everyone is ready! Everyone did a great job in such a short period of time! Thank you! Only the party leader is here, but I hope you will deliver my words to your colleagues later!”

Saying that, he pokes the ground with the butt of his spear again.

I mean, shouldn’t Maria be the one in this kind of role?

No?

Aren’t they getting ready too fast!?

Should I say that this is a fluent way of adventurer ……

“As you all know, an army of monsters is approaching this country right now!　If left alone, this country will not be able to stand a chance. And the Knights are useless! They say they are protecting the country, but what they are doing is the work of cowards! Then we must rise up and rise above this crisis! We can defend this country without their help, and let’s give them a shot in this fight!”

[[[[[[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH—–!!!!!]]]]]]

An outrageous noise echoed through the guild.

It is with such vigor that it almost shakes the ground.

Shouldn’t that voice come out of your belly like that?

It’s making me go deaf. ……

Then Houen poked the ground again with his spear.

This was the cue for all the adventurers to quiet down.

You’ re really something, Houen.

“We have already informed you of your role! Each of you must make the most of what you can do on the battlefield! We are the adventurers who are in charge of the big game! Whatever may happen, do not misunderstand your role! Consider this battle our loss, even if only one person is killed!　Remember that the death of one man can derail everything!　We adventurers have only one ambition!”

[[[[[[We are adventurers for life]]]]]]

DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN!

“That’s right! The reward is bountiful, I assure you, myself and Maria Guildmaster will make sure of it! But in order for that to happen, we need to keep the Knights out of it! You know what this means ……!”

“Houen, you think some bad things!”

“It can’t be helped, it’ s their fault!”

He’s trying to rip off the Knights.

Well, there’s nothing you can’t …… do about it. ……

I’m not sure if Maria is willing to play along either.

The Knights, I don’t know much about you guys yet, so I feel sorry for you. ……

“Let’s go, adventurers! Let’s show them what we’re made of!”

[[[[[[[[[[UUUOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!!!]]]]]]]]]]]

The party leaders inside the guild, of course, and their shouts seem to have reached their friends outside as well, and the shouts echo through the air in the exact same way.

It was a loud shout from about 4,000 people.

Not only adventurers, but also merchants carrying supplies and passersby were carried away by their voices, and without understanding what they were saying, they began to shout.

It was a good feeling to shout loudly.

The loud shouts were carried to the castle in the distance.

“Ouren is in charge of the defense! Don’t think about what comes after!　Concentrate on what is in front of you! Let’s go!!!!”

Led by Houen, all the adventurers headed to the gates.

Even after 2,000 adventurers had left, the morale of the rest continued to rise as they prepared to defend their position.

“Ho- Houen,…… that guy’s really something……”

“I don’t know what it is, but that boy has everyone’s heart. I’m going to lose my spot.”

“Can you do the same thing as him ……?”

“Never.”

“Bruh.”

Isn’t that bad?

◆

Side-? ? –

“Ooooooh! Ooooooh! That’ s amazing!”

There was a small child looking in the direction of the loud shouts.

Although he wondered what that call meant, just listening to it made him feel a surge of energy flowing through his body.

From a distance, he doesn’t know what the heck is going on in that place.

But he does know that something fun is happening there.

In his heart, he wishes he could go there right now, but his status won’t allow him to do so.

“There you are, my prince.”

“Oh! Old-pa! Listen, listen, listen! That voice! Doesn’t he look like they’re having a lot of fun!”

“Ho-ho-ho. That must be the adventurer.”

“Adfenturer? Not the knight?”

“Yeah.”

It’s the first time he’s heard that word.

But somehow it tickles him all over.

He still didn’t know anything about the adventurers.

He had not been taught.

“I’m curious, Old-pa! What is this adventurer thing? They have a strength different from that of knights! Nice! That’s nice! If it were possible, I’d have adventurer serve by my side and listen to what they have to say!”

“Don’t be reckless. The prince has already chosen his personal entourage.”

“Just listen to me! I only want to hear what he has to say! Old-pa!!”

“Ho-ho-ho! I am at a loss.”

The old man, the butler, scratched their heads.

The prince, after a moment of pouting, turned his head in the direction of the voice again.

He was now looking at the adventurer with admiration.
