Chapter 135

「A, Aniki――」

「「Muu~」」

「…… Tak.u.mi-san, the place of destination is that way」

Raizel who has reluctantly given up on becoming my underling wanted to be in contact with me even for a little, so he brought up going on a request together next.

I have declined at first, but…… I was beaten by his persistence. Keimi-san also told me that Raizel should calm down once I grant him his wish, so we decided to accept a request together on that very day.

And along the way, when Raizel calls me Aniki, Allen and Elena will glare at Raizel, making him correct himself――such thing has already repeated several times today.

Allen and Elena dislike it when Raizel calls me Aniki, but they don’t seem to mind Raizel tagging along on the request itself~

「Did you stay at the Capital for a long time, Raizel?」

The request we have received this time was a simple herb gathering, but the herbs themselves are located deep in the forest…… it’s quite a difficult place to reach. Despite that, Raizel guided us on the way as if he was used to the path.

「Yes!」

「Hee~ have you been born here?」

「No, I wasn’t. I have become an adventurer immediately upon coming of age, left

for the capital a while later and then settled down here after a while」

Raizel is…… 23? That means he has been in the capital for 7 or 8 years?

Rather! I have noticed this just now, but isn’t Raizel older than me!

But, the current Raizel is…… he’s acting like my admiring junior, isn’t he~

「「Ah」」

At that time, Allen and Elena noticed something and called out. Judging by their reaction, a monster is coming our way.

「Oh, a monster is coming. ――This is a Shadow Wolf, isn’t it?」

Simultaneously with the two’s reaction, Raizel noticed the presence of the monster. Moreover, he even got the race of the monster right! Seeing his nose sniffing the air, Raizel must have distinguished the monster by smell. As I thought, the noses of Beastmen are very effective.

「There’s two of them. What would you like to handle them?」

Before long, two black wolves――Shadow Wolves entered the view.

Raizel is surely asking who is going to confront the Shadow Wolves.

「Errr……」

I have glanced at Allen and Elena.

I was worried about the two who were obediently standing by my side since they usually charge at the monsters that appear before us.

However, the children were staring at Raizel without moving……

「Ta, Tak.u.mi-san. I, I feel like I’m

I’m being extremely stared at by the children, but……」

「…… That seems to be the case」

Allen and Elena stared at Raizel so much I thought they would stare a hole out in him.

Just what do the two want from Raizel?

「! F, first of all, I will take care of the Shadow Wolves」

Not being able to stand Allen’s and Elena’s stare anymore, Raizel started running towards the Shadow Wolves in fl.u.s.teredly.

「He’s fast as ever~」

When Raizel drew closer to the Shadow Wolves, he punched out without any wasteful movements. One of the Shadow Wolves who received the blow has gotten blown away.

The second Shadow Wolf rushed at Raizel from his blind spot, but Raizel dealt with it by roundhouse kicking without panicking.

They are lower-ranked monsters, but he fought without any risks. As expected of a B-ranker.

「As expected. You had no wasteful movements~」

「Nono, the opponents were Shadow Wolves after all. I still have a long way to go. ――Oh, there is another Shadow Wolf coming」

It seems that another Shadow Wolf has appeared again.

But, Allen and Elena who didn’t move before sprung to action now.

「In this way」

「Like this?」

The two who approached the Shadow Wolf moved with familiar movements.
