Due to an emergency defense quest, the area near the gate was overflowing with adventurers and slum residents.

The shy Luka who grabbed his hem tightly was sandwiched between Nitra and Rai in the middle, forming a line and escorting him by walking in front.

“Okay let’s go”

When I passed by them carrying materials, I could hear rumors rumbling around, but I ignored them.

“Ex”

“It’s true, I haven’t seen it in a long time.”

“Maybe you came to cast a buff spell on me?”

“Unfortunately, I already quit.”

“It’s painful to see sad faces when I pass by No Service One.”

“Mr. Ex! Wow, it’s Mr. Ex!”

“As expected, my legs stopped.” The people who called out to me were happy people from the slums.

“Professor Ex! We got a job from the forest guard.”

“Is that so?”

“Thank you for your work the other day! Thanks to you, I was able to eat my fill for the first time in a long time.”

“That was good.”

“My grandmother didn’t die”

“It was really good”

“It’s a heavy conversation.” Luca is shivering and hiding behind his back.

“By the way, are you working with me today?”

“No, we didn’t take requests, we just came to pick mushrooms personally.”

When I answered that, he blatantly clicked his tongue.

“Of course it’s not them, um, who are they?” I think he was an adventurer who was in the Zombies’ entourage.

When I tried to ignore him, he seemed to think that I had run away, but this time he got involved with me in a loud voice.

“Ah! Even though the city is in trouble, there’s a guy who’s picking mushrooms without taking defense requests.”

“Well, okay! I’ve quit my job as an adventurer, so I don’t have that obligation!”

“When I denied it, he spat me.”

In the first place, the receptionist lamented that there was no one who could take his place because you quit. Even Aries-chan was in trouble because he couldn’t make up for it. I’m sorry it’s gone.

“Ugu”

Kumakichi roared as he flinched from being poked in the pain.

“Oh my god, are you a brain zombie?”

“What is this talking stuffed animal?”

“You should have listened to me earlier. We are incompetent. So are you crying to your buddy for help?”

“You’re right. Are you stupid? If you want help, there’s a way to say it.”

“Don’t ask me”

“Then, what do you mean by that earlier? Can you explain it so that I can understand it too?”

“Ungugugu”

“Was this person asking for help?”

However, it seems that Kumakichi also provoked it too much, and the people around him who were quietly listening began to giggle.

“Look, your face is bright red.” Ah, you’re pulling out your sword after all. The silver reflected the sun, and the spectators gasped.

“Hey, you fucking small fry! Look, I’m protecting the city instead of you, who ran away from being an adventurer!”

“Noisy. So what?”

Frustrated, I took off the clasp and prepared a new weapon to fight back, but he flinched.

“Did you really think I was a punching bag that wouldn’t fight back?”

“Retreat-retreat-!”

“I hear voices from afar, so let’s end the duel for the first time.”

“Because people with desperate faces were running away towards us and that was the end of it.”

“Run away! General Orcs are out! Everyone, run to the gate!”

The adventurer in front of me seems to be hesitant about whether to fight back or run away as his legs twitch. The slum people fled and ran after their backs.

With this, Luka’s inability to act seemed to be resolved, and he stared at me with a serious expression. The trembling mouth moves slightly while trembling.

“Ex, help me.”

“Become a hero.”

“If the doll princess wants me, I’ll become the lightning sword hero.”

“Understood! Kumakichi, I asked for Luka.”

“Hold on. Leave this to me, buddy!”

“Seriously run backwards towards the person running away.” I feel like my feet have become so fast because of the people I pass each other.

“Ahhh”

Seeing me screaming, the people I passed were surprised and stopped and looked back.

“Someone ran backwards.”

“That’s Ex!? Why are you here?”

“You’re in danger! You’re heading in the wrong direction. Go back, boy!”

“Press the button to start the battle.”

“Jaki Jaki Jaki!”

“You’re right. I’m going to be a hero.”

“I clash with the first spear goblin.”

“Boom!” A light fake sword (modified) hits a goblin! Of course there is no damage.

“However, my favorite is an electric shock.”

“Gugyoo”

“It burns up as intended and turns into a magic stone.”

“I met the elite goblin approaching from behind!” When I tried to hit this guy too, he was lost out of sight with a quick movement.

“Huh? Where have you been? Whoa!”

“Unbeknownst to me, an elite goblin has grabbed my weapon!” I feel like crying It was an elite goblin who sealed its weapon and sneered at it as Nitaa, but as if it were a matter of course, an electric shock flowed through that stick.

“Hmm?” I don’t know why, but I beat him. Please pass away with a smile on your face.

“Next!”

After defeating two slow orcs, the first wave seems to have been subdued.

A fleeting calm, vigilant preparations for the following main force.

“Are you serious?”

“To be saved by such a weak boy.”

“Was Ex really a swordsman?”

My ears twitched at the gallery’s words.

I was so happy that when I turned around, I could feel the favorable gazes of the people around me.

“I feel like I’ve become the hero of a story.”

“Bumomo! ! ! ! ]

“Aaaah. Damn. The General Oak has caught up. Good run away, Ex!”

“I’m fine”

When I turned around, I met the eyes of the general oak who was snapping off a tree branch.

“Now then, there are two options.”

“Is it easy to defeat with a fireball like usual, or fight with a sword even though it’s a tough fight?”

“Of course it’s a sword.” However, because I was a little late in my judgment, I was overtaken by two small shadows.

“Big pig, Taosu”

“Leave the rest to me”

“That’s Nitra and Rai-nee.”

“Oh, stop it, my highlight!”

“Nah, I can’t keep up with them on my own.”

“I’m done”

“Huh.”

The thunder sword, which has lost its highlight, is stored in a case.

“Nitra is fast.”

As soon as he climbed a tree with a thud, he jumped out of the forest into the sky and unleashed two swords at his face. When Rai-nee was late and cut off her ankle, sparks connected and General Oak returned to magic stone.

After a beat, cheers of victory rose from the gallery.

“”Ohhhhh!!!!”

“You can’t beat that General Orc!”

“Amazing!”

Nitra proudly returned with a heavy magic stone.

“Yes, Maseki”

“Thank you. It’s heavy.”

“People started gathering.”

“It was amazing. You’re strong.”

“Hey! Can you show me that awesome sword from earlier?”

“I’m sorry”

“He made a surprised face as if he didn’t think he would refuse.”

“I’m sorry for misunderstanding you until now. Great Wizard of Ex. Will you please continue to join the defense?”

“I’m sorry. I quit being an adventurer.”

“When I declined again, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.”

Then, the person who I thought had escaped returned.

“That’s right! Did you hear that? He’s a cold-hearted guy who quit being an adventurer.”

“The scene became noisy and unpleasant.”

“What do you mean?”

“Should we defeat him now?”

“No, if you point your sword at a person, it’s the same as the Zombies, isn’t it?”

“I’ve seen you. A little swordsmanship. Anyone with magic tools can do that! In this emergency, you’re hiding a great weapon all the time.”

“No, and this is the weapon I made today!”

However, the expression in the gallery is half in doubt.

He approached me with a mocking Nitaa.

“Don’t lie. Just lend me a minute.”

“Oh, please return it”

“It was stolen along with the case!”

“I’m weak.”

“Hahaha. Look at the birth of a new hero.”

He smiles and tries to take out the fake sword (modified) from the case. I think I’ve seen that smile somewhere. no, more than that.

“No! You’ll get an electric shock if you touch it.”

“Huh. Excuse me! What’s an electric shock? Just take a good look there. It’s my time from now on!”

“Nitaa,” she smiled, and grabbed her weapon.

“Ahhhh.”

“It looks like an elite goblin.”

“Clean.”

“Ha!” terrible.

“Hurry up and let go Mr. Eligob! Help Nitra!”

“Okay”

“We managed to retrieve the stick and successfully rescued it.”

“Good thing you’re alive.” The gallery is a don pull.

“That dangerous magic sword”

“That’s why you didn’t show me just now. It was dangerous.”

“I will say what I want to say.”

“Anyway, we’re going deep into the forest to pick mushrooms, so please don’t expect anything strange.”

“From now on, deep in the forest?”

“Yes”

“When I answered that, the people who gathered began to whisper.” It sounds like “No way”, “In other words”, “That’s what it is”.

For some reason, he saluted me with a big smile.

“Good luck picking mushrooms!”

“Yes?”

“I understand.

“I want you to do whatever you want.”

“Let’s go, Luka”

Let’s take away Luka, who was stiffened in the audience seats, in a princess’s arms, and proceed to the depths of the forest.

Even though I was just going to pick my own ingredients, I was sent off with a “Good luck!”.
