A few days later, Shin, Rumeya and the others were to leave for the city of O’circus.
Tauro and Aeris were able to see them off with a smile.
It was a mutually satisfying goodbye.
Shin and Rumeya will be successful there too.
They have that much ability, and their personalities are suited for it.
The chemistry of that duo is excellent as a vanguard, so they’re sure to be appreciated in the future.
After seeing them off, Tauro and Aeris decided to rest for a few days.
Aeris, no matter how much she saw them off with a smile, couldn’t shake the feeling of loss.
She needed a few days off.
Tauro visited the Marches Trading Company and used the time for business meetings.
From the second day, Aeris also followed him to the business meeting.
The reason was that she didn’t want to be alone, but after a few days of business meetings, Aeris found that her energy was returning.
This should be okay.
On the morning of the sixth day, Aeris was back to her normal self and they decided it was time to visit the Adventurers’ Guild.
On the way to the guild.
“If I knew it’d turn out this way, I’d have followed Ragune-san to the village of the Dragon People.”
Aeris talked about what to do.
“Oh, that dragon tribe lady. It’s only been a week since we saw her, so she must still be on her way to the village. It would have been a great experience to go with her.”
“And since she seemed to be an excellent vanguard, I should have asked her to join us.”
“I think that would have been a good idea, since she had the valuable skill of being a “dragon knight” and she seemed to be a good person.”
Tauro and Aeris arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild while talking incessantly.
When they entered the Adventurers’ Guild, the room was abuzz.
“What’s wrong?”
Aeris noticed that the atmosphere in the Adventurers’
Guild was tense for the first time in about a week.
Listening to the adventurers, she heard the name “ogre” being mentioned.
An ogre is a monster that looks like a demon.
They are armed, armored, warrior-like, and love fighting.
“An ogre?”
Tauro asked the receptionist, Kannes, who was just available.
“Yes. A swarm of ogres have been spotted in a neighboring village.”
“A swarm? That’s very unusual.”
“According to sighting reports, there were about five of them, but we are still waiting for the next report.”
The ogre is a C-rank target, as I recall.
Right now in this village, there is one B-rank team and two C-rank teams of adventurers above the C-rank zone.
There are also four D-rank teams, and most of the rest are in the E-rank range.
As for individuals, the standout is Bob, a dog-human who has just recently risen to C- rank with a speedy rise in the ranks.
Considering the strength of the team, depending on the number of ogres, it seems safe since there’s a B-rank team.
“Then, we should be fine with the B-rank team we have now and the two C-rank teams, for a total of three, right?”
Tauro normally thought so, but he didn’t understand why there was tension in the air in the guild.
“Well, the B-rank team and one C-rank team are away at the moment.”
One of the adventurers responded to Tauro’s optimism.
“Eh? They’re away right now?”
“Teams B rank and C+ are away taking part in a massive Troll King defeat that the Adventurer’s Guild in the city of Daledar reported on.”
“So there are only six people left, including the three members of the C rank team “Goblin” and Bob, who is working on his own?”
“That’s right. The ogre is weak against magic attacks, but it’s extremely strong against physical attacks. The three members who are working individually are also muscle brains. The six people present could barely take on the five that was initially reported. Depending on how many others are out there, it’s doubtful that this guild will be able to help.”
Then, the story changes.
Depending on the decision of the branch manager, Chloe, there may also be people who can use magic attacks in the D- and E-rank bands called in.
There was an adventurer who rushed in to report to the guild.
“The first five ogres appeared near neighboring villages and we have confirmed eighteen others. That makes a total of twenty-three!”
A sigh of despair escaped the guild.
This is beyond the current tolerance of the guild.
If the remaining C team “Goblins” of the current strength and Bob and the other three C ranks are sent in, the possibility of total annihilation is overwhelmingly higher.
When Chloe, the branch manager, heard the report, she fell silent.
The adventurers were also silent, and there was a renewed tension in the room.
“We can’t just abandon the village. From now on, the Dansas branch will go into all-out warfare, with teams made up of adventurers of E rank or higher, especially those who can attack with magic. Please team up with Marge, an E+ wizard, and Holly, a healer, on the “Goblin” team. Three people who are also in the C rank band, Aeris, who is an E+, and the rest of you can go to ……”
Chloe pondered who to pick and was about to speak.
“I can do magic attacks too, so can I join her and Aeris?”
Tauro raised his hand.
