“..?”

Did I read it wrong? I rubbed my eyes and looked again.

Success conditions

-Have sex with Cerise

“…”

There is only one reason why I wish Kara had a status window. I like this relationship right now, and I don’t want it to go astray.

But what?

Have sex with Seris?

“You damn bastard really…”

Fuck you, you have to do it in moderation.

I turned off the notification window and hugged Kara. I fell asleep just like that.

-You really are a fucking bastard…

“?!”

Cerys was startled and lifted her ear from the wall. My heart was pounding.

‘I guess you’re not saying this to me…?’

I put my ear to the wall again. I hope you can say something so I know it wasn’t done to her.

-…

But no words were heard beyond the wall.

In the end, she couldn’t sleep for two hours.

* * *

“…Seris?”

“Yes, yes?!”

“Why have you been so restless since a while ago?”

“Well, that’s… nothing!”

“…Really?”

“Yes!”

Cerise nodded frantically. Even when I gave her a suspicious look, she just stared straight ahead.

“Okay, instead, try not to cause any problems at work today. Got it?”

“Yes!”

Seris answered confidently. I didn’t really believe it, but I guess it’s okay because what I’m doing today is something I’m used to.

After some time, we arrived at the abandoned castle.

The reason we came here without receiving a request was simple. It’s because I didn’t receive the request. To be exact, the guild was empty and there was no one to join.

That’s why I came to the abandoned castle both for my body and for food. Because you don’t want to lose your senses while resting.

“It’s been a while here, oppa.”

“Sure.”

It wasn’t that long ago, but somehow it felt nice. We went into the forest as we had done in the past.

‘Where should we go today?’

White bandana? scar? Or just a bald head? I walked while thinking. At that time, I heard a person yelling from somewhere. I immediately turned on ‘Wolf’s Pact’.

-hey! Daisy, take care of it!

-Okay, don’t yell!

Goblin screams can be heard along with human shouts.

‘Other people are already here.’

I listened a little more intently. Their numbers were estimated by the sounds of footsteps, weapons clashing, and voices.

‘About four people.’

What should I do?

After thinking for a while, I decided to approach them. Even if I were to hunt, I thought it would be better to do it with my face exposed. Because something annoying might happen later.

‘Seeing as there are only four people in the abandoned castle, they must all be new.’

Unless you are a newbie, there is no reason to hang out here during the festival. I turned to Sister Cerise and said.

“It looks like there are other people here besides us.”

“Yes? Really?”

“Yes. So, let’s just show our faces and go. It gets annoying later when the hunting grounds overlap.”

“Yes!”

I took the two and headed to the place where the sound of the fight was heard. It wasn’t that far so we arrived quickly.

However, when we arrived, the fight was already over. They were sitting on the floor, resting or pulling out the goblin’s right fang.

‘Two men and two women.’

I told Sister Seris to wait and I approached first. I deliberately made a noise in the bushes so they could hear. The adventurers’ eyes turned to me.

The brown haired man shouted.

“Who is it!!”

“Calm down.”

The adventurers looked nervous. I raised my hands to calm them down.

“And you?”

“An adventurer like you who came to the abandoned castle to hunt. Look.”

I took out my adventure card and showed it. Only then did their faces relax a little. I said, inserting my adventure certificate.

“You guys are adventurers too, right? Can you show me your adventure card?”

“What? Why are we like this…”

“Okay.”

A woman with short blue hair took out her adventure card and approached me.

“Look here.”

“Uh… okay.”

There is no need to show it like this. Even though I was confused, I saw the adventurous spirit she showed.

‘daisy. 21 years old, rock level.’

It was an ordinary adventurous spirit, nothing special. I gave it back to her.

“Thank you for showing me.”

“Why have this much?”

Daisy shrugged and returned to her group. The brown-haired man hit her on the back of the head. Daisy screamed, rubbing her head.

“Why are you hitting me!”

“Hey! Do you know what that guy is doing and approach him so carelessly?!”

“You saw earlier that that person is of iron grade! And there are four of us, so why would we do something stupid?!”

“But still!”

“Have you raised your hand now? Just hit me again! I won’t sit still either!”

The two people started bickering. As I was watching, another female adventurer clicked her tongue. He was a slightly ugly adventurer wearing a black robe.

“Tsk tsk, the things I didn’t learn…”

‘This is why Bhima guys can’t do it.’ The woman muttered like that.

Bhima? What is it?

As she narrowed her eyes, the bald boy next to the woman approached and whispered.

“Abbreviation for non-mage.”

“Ah, I see. It’s my first time hearing such a thing.”

“It’s worth it. It’s a word that Mei uses alone.”

“Yes?”

It was so absurd that I burst out laughing. But you insult me by calling me a ‘non-wizard’.

That’s definitely…

“Is that person a wizard?”

“Yes! I am the wizard from Raiod University of Magic!”

I asked the bald man, but the wizard stepped in and boasted. I gave him a cursory compliment, saying it was great, and then turned my attention to the bald man.

“Well, that aside, I came here to ask one thing.”

“Ask me?”

“What area will you be hunting in? Looking at what you’re doing here, it looks like you’re targeting bald-headed power guys, but you never know.”

“…Yes?”

At my words, not only the bald head but also the other three tilted their heads.

I see

“…work hard.”

I turned around and tried to leave. A bald man grabbed my shoulder.

“Now, wait a minute, what does that mean? White bandana? scar? What is the power…”

“You heard wrong.”

He slapped the bald man’s hand away. But the bald man held him back and became a nuisance.

“Wait a minute! Brother!”

“Ah, who is your older brother? Let go of this.”

“I can’t let you go until you tell me the story in detail!”

“Oh, kinda.”

I tried to hit it hard, but this time the other arm grabbed me. I frowned and checked to see who caught it. Daisy, who had shown her adventurous spirit earlier, was holding on.

She slowly looked up and smiled awkwardly.

“That… senior? Could you please teach us?”

“…let go.”

I used strength to pull my arm away. Daisy clung to me tenaciously.

“Ahh! Joe, it’s okay if you tell us a little bit! a little bit! Just wait!!”

It was sticky and noisy. I waved my arms a few times and then sighed.

‘Even if I shake it off and run, it seems like it will chase after me and become a nuisance…’

I think it would be more convenient to tell you. But it was a bit awkward to just tell you. This is information I got from buying food for Patrick.

‘Is there nothing I can gain from it?’

I looked around at the adventurers. Looking at the equipment, it didn’t look like there was anything to tear off. Just as I was feeling regretful, an ugly female wizard named May caught my eye.

‘rather…’

After thinking for a moment, I spoke to the bald man.

“Then let’s do it like this. I will give you information about the abandoned castle, so please show me the magic that wizard uses.”

“You mean magic?”

“Yes.”

I have never seen magic in this fantasy world. This is because the wizard himself was a high-class person, so there was no need to meet him.

It might be a good idea to take this opportunity to take a look at magic.

‘It’s surprising that there’s a wizard in this party, but…’

I wonder if he would go around pretending to be a wizard when he is not. It’s just that they were lucky enough to be part of the party.

“I understand. Then like that…”

“Hey! Who decides what they want?!”

The wizard frowned and shouted at the bald man. The bald man asked for my understanding and approached the wizard. And then he immediately started groveling.

-Mr. May, that person…

-sir.

-yes?

-Are you not putting the ruler correctly?

The bald man’s expression darkened for a moment. He quickly composed his expression,

“How about letting him see May’s great magic? I’m sure he will be very surprised and will respect you.

-Well, that’s not bad… You said it before. They exchange it for information. Does my magic seem cheap enough to trade for little information?

-Of course not! But why did he change his words like that?

-What?

-I want to see May’s great magic! So much so that a man can say it in two words! Even for that person, information is already a thing of the past!

-is it..?

-Yes, that’s right!

After that, the bald man worked hard to please the wizard.

…To the point where I feel a little sorry.

Only after doing that was the bald man able to get the OK from the wizard. He bowed to the wizard, thanked him, and walked towards him.

Unlike before, his face seemed drained of energy.

“…He said he would show me.”

“…Yes.”

When I looked at him pitifully, he smiled shyly.

“Could you please tell me the information first?”

“Yes, of course.”

I gladly accepted his request. Normally, I would have refused for fear of being scammed. But seeing him groveling earlier, I didn’t think he was going to get scammed.

“Please wait a moment before that.”

I went back to the bush and brought Kara and Cerys. The story might be a bit long, but it would have been a bit difficult to keep it hidden.

“This is my group.”

“Hello, I’m Kara. Please take care of me!”

“Hello. My name is Seris. Please take care of me.”

Kara waved her hand and Cerise bowed her head slightly.

“Ah, hello.”

The bald head looked at Kara with wide eyes. He tried to shake Kara’s hand. I put my hand on Kara’s shoulder and pulled her towards me.

“Oppa? What’s wrong?”

“Just. Did you hate it?”

“No. Heehee!”

Kara hugged me tightly. He wrapped his arms around her waist and looked at the bald man. He looked at my hand, which he was trying to shake, with a droopy face.

‘…was it a little harsh?’

Even though it was just a handshake, I think I overreacted. But the thought of that man and Kara shaking hands made me feel bad for some reason.

‘I also have a strong desire to be exclusive.’

A bitter smile came out.

“…”

“Seris? Why?”

“Oh, no.”

Seris turned her head.

* * *

I told them what I knew about the abandoned castle.

“Ah, somehow the clothes were all different…”

Daisy nodded as if she understood now. So did others.

“I feel bad saying this, but shouldn’t you look into this level of information?”

“Ahaha, that’s…”

The bald man smiled awkwardly and sighed.

“It looks like we were too ambitious.”

“Well… that can happen. Now then, please keep your promise.”

“Yes, I understand. May?”

“Huh?”

“If you just shoot magic at the tree over there…”

May frowned at the bald man’s words.

“Are you telling me to waste my magic like that?”

“Oh, no, you promised earlier…”

The bald man looked at me. May said in a pitiful tone.

“I know. Who didn’t show it? But I don’t want to shoot at trees.”

“Yes? Then?”

“Goblin.”

“…”

The bald man glanced at me.

“I’m sorry…”

“I understand. That’s about it…”

We hid in the bushes and waited for the goblins to pass by.

After some time, five goblins appeared. We followed them and raided them as they stopped at the river.

-Kik, kik?!

The goblin was taken aback when more humans appeared than them. We surrounded them.

“Good! Just wait!”

In the rear, a wizard pointed his wand and began to chant a spell.

-Ifrit, the father of fire and the spirit king. I, May Iliira, would like to borrow your power…

‘Is that a spell?’

I asked Seris, who was standing next to me, out of curiosity.

“Seris, can you understand what that wizard is saying?”

“Yes..?”

Seris glanced back at the wizard. Then he shook his head.

“No… I don’t understand.”

“Really?”

I thought it was just in case, but it was the same.

I looked back toward the wizard once again. A strange energy appeared around her and gathered in front of the staff.

Those strange energies became a fist-sized fireball.

“Fireball!”

A fireball flew towards the goblin along with the wizard’s booming voice.

-Good, good!

The goblin was scared and avoided it.

The fireball fell into the river and disappeared.

“…?”

Me, the Seris sisters, the adventurers, and even the goblins looked at the wizard.
