Volume 2 - CH 291

I have the urge to punch Houen, but I manage to resist and take another look at Byakko.

The two people who were accompanying us are tilting their heads at my sudden halt, but let’s put that aside for the moment.

After all, it was the fourth reincarnated person.

I was surprised because I did not expect to meet the fourth reincarnated person in the Kingdom of Salettana.

We had to have a talk with it.

Although I had not decided what I would talk about, I did not know when I would be able to talk to it again if I let it go.

I thought about keeping it here for the time being, but the Byakko spoke up before I could.

[Pardon me, but could you please leave me alone until night time? I am concerned about you guys, but right now I have to take Meryl home.]

[Meryl? Is it that girl?]

[Yes, I owe Meryl a favor. You can head to my place when night falls.]

[Is that fine with you…..?]

[You can’t do that?]

No, you can’t say it like that. ……

Well, it is possible if I always deployed a haze manipulation to chase after it, but it’s quite tiring.

I mean, it is difficult to monitor others with a haze while doing other activities.

I can’t be that dexterous.

But from this guy’s point of view, it seems that it has no malice whatsoever in what it just said.

Although that is quite bad, well, let’s leave it at this time. ……

“Ha-ha-ha …… ha-ha-ha!”

[You’re laughing too much!! Let’s go, Alena!]

“…… Huh? Eh, where are you going? I’m going to go.

“Hey, wait a minute… pffffft ……!”

I’m going to kill this guy for real someday.

Even if I kill him, he won’t die and I only want to do it once. 

[Then, later.]

“Lize? What’s wrong?”

Hearing the girl’s words, I shake my head and start walking away.

The people who were walking around are looking at Houen, who suddenly started laughing hysterically, so let’s quickly get away from this place.

The other side also said they would meet me later and we’ll meet at night in an out of the way place.

Maybe it’s something the other people don’t want to hear.

But we’re pretty famous because of that defense battle, and if anything, I’ve become noticeable because of Houen.

I don’t know what would happen if it became known that I was actually a monster, so let’s be really careful about where we discuss this.

There is no way that Houen would be able to say that he is actually a bird now.

“Haahh- ,I’ve calmed down ……. That guy got a good taste of humor!”

“Who’s that guy?”

“Oh, I see. Alena doesn’t know, does she?”

[That can wait. Let’s go to the guild first. I want to at least check the request form.]

There’s still time until night.

I’d like to check the request form of the monster that will be my experience point by then.

The future is too uncertain, seriously. ……

Or rather, there’s still a path of evolution ahead, right?

Even though I have the benefit of rare species, I can’t raise my level at all.

Is this just for decoration? Is it just a decoration?

◆

So we came to the guild and decided to check out the request.

Unfortunately, my eyes are a little above the ground, so I can’t see at all.

Even if I lift my head up, I can’t get up that high.

My wings are in the way, yes.

Let’s leave this to Alena and Houen.

The two looked at the requests for a while and each picked up one request form.

“Let’s “Take this one!”!”

Is that possible?

I believe we can only accept one of them. ……?

Since we are C-rank, we can’t accept A-rank requests. ……

And even though we are C rank, there are probably strong monsters out there.

It will be difficult to go this way and immediately go that way.

“Let’s do this one, Houen!”

“No, this request is definitely better.”

“No, it’s not!”

[Geez, let me see it.]

I’m a monster, and I’m not sure how I’m supposed to look into the request form, but let’s just leave it at that.

Looking at the contents, both of those are subjugation requests.

The one Alena has is for a reward that increases depending on the number of defeats.

The target is a bat called [Vadid] which is said to be in a cave.

It seems that the bat is not the one that emits that loud voice, but it is large and has a high reproductive capacity, so if you find one, you have to dispose of it as soon as possible.

According to the article, if you find one, you should assume there are ten of them.

Is it a G-chan or what? (Gokiburi = Cockroach)

On the other hand, the request that Houen holds is for defeating large monsters.

It seems that the target is a wolf with the cute name of [Warhul], which is taller than a person.

The picture on the request form is so evil and scary in comparison to the name.

So menacing…… scary……

Let’s see, so Alena’s opinion is to have me eat a number of them and gain a lot of experience, and Houen’s idea is to have me eat strong monsters and gain a lot of experience?

I appreciate that you are considering this for me, but in this case, I think it would be better to go with Houen’s request.

No matter how many weak and small monsters I eat, they will not give me any experience points.

If that is the case, I have to eat strong individuals.

Although, the Vadid is a C-rank monster.

We don’t know what will happen with this one either, so we’ll take it next time.

It was a pretty urgent request.

“That settles it, I suppose.”

“Eh-!”

[Well, we have plans for this evening. In fact, it is better to have a request that can be completed in a short time than a request that will take a long time.]

[Sorry, Alena.]

“However, it’s a long way to the location. If you want me to carry you, that’s not a problem. ……”

Ah, that’s okay.

Alena can fly and I can float with my infinite water manipulation.

Movement itself can be done quickly.

“……Why did you have me carry you when we entered the kingdom of Salettana?”

[I forgot.]

Sorry.
