Chapter title: Forest Wolf

「Okay, each party should proceed with caution, making sure to stay completely out of sight. If there is a battle with a monster, kill it yourself. If you find them to be too strong, let us know. We’ll catch up with you and join the fight.」

Russell’s voice came through loud and clear at the entrance to the forest.

The fact that all of the adventurers were listening attentively was probably a result of Russell’s daily activities.

「Basically, we’ll be sending out the best of the Adventurer’s Guild for the northeast and northwest parties. I’m going to read the names now, so please come out.」

「Can’t we have our normal party?」

One of the adventurers said…….

「It’s true that I would like to emphasize daily cooperation, but that would mean putting all our strength to sleep. I don’t want to be a waste of time.」

He seems to have some kind of plan. Russell-san chuckled and said…….

「So, Elt. You’re going to the northeast party!」

All eyes focused on me.

「Elt, be careful, okay?」

Serena tightened her grip on my hand, looking worried.

She was an elf, so she was familiar with the geography of the forest. Because of this, Russell incorporated her into his own party in the center.

「I’ll be fine.」

I don’t say too much because of the eyes around me. It’s not a problem since we came through here with a much smaller group in the first place. I’m sure Serena knows that.

I appealed to her with my eyes…….

「This is not the same thing. You never know what kind of threats the forest might pose.」

I patted Serena’s head gently, wondering how worried she was.

「Uh, Serena. Elt. I feel bad about splitting you guys up, but……. Your flirting is a distraction to those around you. You can do that at the inn after this investigation is over, just the two of you.」

「Wh!」

Russell’s teasing words made Serena’s mouth water and she turned bright red.

「Well, I’ll join the party now.」

I looked ahead and saw a group of men with tears in their eyes, waiting for me to come. It would be best not to provoke them any further.

I let go of Serena’s head and tried to join them, but…….

「Oh, wait, Elt.」

Serena brings her face close to mine and whispers something to me.

「I’ll see you at the inn.」

With that, she moved away.

「Ert. The enemy is a Forest Wolf, albeit it’s only a single one! You should be on the defensive instead of the offensive!」

There was a wolf-shaped monster in front of me. The adventurers around me looked grim, so I tried to use my analytical eye.

Race: Monster

Individual name: Forest Wolf

Level: 104

Strength: 300

Magic: 88

Strength: 222

Agility: 450

Defensive Strength: 278

Skill:Increase Speed, Charge

Remarks: Plays with enemies with its agile movements. Its hair is hard, and its charge attack uses its huge body is a threat. Fire magic is its weakness.

「Alright!」

In terms of level, it’s not far behind me and Serena.

However, this Forest Wolf’s threat level is B rank.

A B rank is a monster that adventurers of the same rank are recommended to take on as a party.

「Mages in the rear, fire magic please!」

The man in the vanguard gave instructions to the rearguard, and rushed into the forest wolf to suppress it himself.

「Fuck you! Get away from me!」

I can defeat it it once they complete their magic. This is the point where I have to swing your sword with all your might…….

「Grrrrrrrrrrr」

The forest wolf’s high agility makes it impossible to wound him.

「Elt, please! I can’t hold it off by myself! Show me the power that Russell-san has approved of!」

With those words, I stepped forward.

「In a few moments the magic will be complete. Please hold it down until then.」

A tense voice came from the rearguard as well. If we are overtaken, Forest Wolf will attack us when we are defenseless. The worst situations must have come to mind.

「I’ll take care of it. I won’t let you get behind me.」

Perhaps reacting to my words, the forest wolf changed its target to me.

「Elt! He’s gone!」

The forest wolf lunged at me. This is the kind of charging skill that I confirmed with my analytical eyes.

「Grrrrrrrrrrーーーーーー!!!」

A tremendous sense of intimidation came at me. But if I avoid it here, this thing will head for the rear guard.

「Did you think I’d let you?」

I hold my sword to my side and…

「Guah!」

——I caught the forest wolf’s thrust.

「Grrr! Gulp! Guh!」

The forest wolf stomps its foot and tries to push me, but I push it back.

「Forest Wolf’s charge was caught by……?」

「…No way」

The man in the vanguard and the woman in the rearguard said that it’s impossible.

「When the magic is complete shoot it, please!」

When I say that………….

「Ha! It’s done! Elt get awat! 【Fire Storm】」

A storm of fmales came at me from behind. Fire Storm is an intermediate level fire magic.

「Okay, I guess I’m done here.」

「Ggghhh!」

I kick the forest wolf in the torso and break it’s stance.

The next thing I know, the Forest Wolf is engulfed in flames.

「Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!」

It screamed.

「Alright, rearguard take care of the fire with the water magic. We’ll surround the forest wolves so they can’t escape!」

If we let it escape here, it will start a fire. The rear guard began to chant water magic so that the fire could be extinguished immediately.

「Elt, once the fire is extinguished, we’ll charge in!」

Soon the water magic was complete.

「【Squall】」

The mass of water hits the forest wolf and the fire goes out.

「Finish it!」

The battle ended when the man in the vanguard jumped out and sliced the Forest Wolf’s head.
