    After earning enough money from Mikaga Mansion, Thiel and his group set off for the next village.

    “Heheheung~ Heungheung~.”

    Inside the carriage, Thiel was humming happily and looking at the newly acquired sword.

    “Do you like it that much?”

    Mika, who couldn’t help but listen to Tiel’s humming in the carriage, asked Tiel.

    “Of course! It’s my new weapon! Hehehe, hehehe, this is how we defeat that damn succubus.”

    After receiving the money from Mika, I stopped by Tiel’s weapon shop that day and bought a new sword.

    “There is an enchantment that increases cutting power! Even that succubus can’t stand this sword!”

    “Why did you buy something like that in the first place when you said you were caught with a sword and couldn’t even cut yourself once?”

    “Tsk tsk tsk, Mika, don’t you know? A succubus skilled enough to hold my sword would naturally have tough skin! So you need something like this! Of course, I will improve my skills enough to attack that bitch!”

    Leesha said while reading a book to Thiel, who clenched his fists and revealed his aspirations.

    “It’s nice to see that high level of improvement, Thiel. Cheer up.”

    “Yes!”

    “But what to do with the existing sword?”

    “This? Of course I use this too. Just use what you originally used, and the new one you bought is, so to speak, a secret weapon to use against powerful enemies!”

    “Just because you have two on doesn’t mean your movement gets slower, right?”

    “Mikado too! Just one more sword will make my movements slower!”

    As time passed, chatting here and there, Thiel and his group arrived at the next village, Rudelta.

    “Ugh~! Finally arrived.”

    “Rudeltara… I miss you.”

    The place where Tiel and his group arrived was the village where Leesha stayed after graduating from the academy and before meeting Tiel and his group.

    “Now that I think about it, Lisha said she knew about this place, right?”

    “That’s right. It was a place I used as a base for a while after leaving the academy.”

    “Oh! That means the Academy isn’t far away, right?”

    “Hey. We already talked about it in the beginning. After starting from Ru Delta, the next place is the Academy.”

    The deadline of one month was what Thiel and his party had initially guessed.

    It even included the short stay after arriving at the transit village.

    “Ugh! The academy where you can finally find a clue to get rid of this vulva is just around the corner!”

    “Are you even listening to me?”

    “Mika. It’s no use talking about it now. Thiel is now in a state of excitement due to the news he just heard upon arriving in the new village. Mika probably knows that this is not the first time this phenomenon has happened.”

    “Ha, that makes me sigh even more.”

    “And Thiel, if you don’t know, you might be able to find a clue in this town as well.”

    “Uh! Really!?”

    Lisha nodded immediately.

    “This Rudelta is close to the academy, so it also sells magic items. Or, it is also a town chosen by wizards who want to live quietly away from the academy. There may be a wizard or related book with knowledge about the vulva.”

    “Wow! If that’s true, then you don’t have to go to the academy!”

    Thiel’s eyes shine at the news that Leesha delivers.

    Mika gently pulled Thiel’s pigtail.

    Keep going!

    “Kya! What are you doing, Mika!”

    “Odubangjeong Don’t be so nervous and calm down. Richa was only talking about possibilities. There might not be one, so don’t get too excited from now on.”

    “Chii, people should always have hope, right?”

    “Let’s find an inn sooner than that. Let’s go.”

    “Yes~.”

    “Okay.”

    After finding the inn, Fumika asked Thiel.

    “What are you going to do, Thiel? Are you going to sleep as expected?”

    “No! I’m overflowing with motivation after hearing Leesha’s words!”

    “Then let’s go to the Adventurer’s Guild. In order to find a request, let’s ask if there is a wizard who doesn’t know about the vulva.”

    “Yes!”

    After arriving at the guild, Thiel and his party first looked at the request board.

    Unlike in Dolus, in Rudelpa, there were a reasonable number of requests for Tiel and his party to complete.

    “Okay, let’s decide on this first and this as a candidate.”

    After selecting several requests as candidates, Thiel spoke to Leesha with his eyes shining.

    “Risha! Let’s find out if there’s a wizard who knows the vulva!”

    “Sure.”

    Thiel and Leesha went around asking the wizards at the adventurer’s guild about the vulva.

    “Vagina? What is that.”

    “I’m sorry, but I’m unfamiliar with black magic.”

    “Wasn’t that a tattoo? Wow… it was actually carved by a succubus. It’s amazing. Let’s take a closer look… Oh, I’m sorry. Could you please put away the sword?”

    “Vagina? Of course I know the solution! Really! Wearing this Gelumanium bracelet I invented will not only relieve the vulva but also cure all diseases! Longevity! All features included… for a moment! Please listen to the story a little more!”

    I asked several wizards, but I got no real results.

    The last one was enough for even the naivest Thiel to immediately recognize it as a fraud.

    “Why did such a fraudster become a wizard?”

    “Sometimes people who cheat by making magic tools with moderate effects appear. It is deplorable.”

    “I guess there was no result.”

    “Mika should come and help too!”

    “What if I go with you more? I just needed to be with Richa.”

    Mika, who was waiting at the request board, tapped the two requests he had selected as candidates and asked his colleagues.

    “Enough with collecting information, what kind of requests will you receive?”

    “Yes~ Then how about this! Subdue the Stone Snake!”

    “Stone Snake? You hated that because it hurt me.”

    Stone Snake is a D-class monster with scales as hard as stone.

    Hunting was also a request received by adventurers who mainly used hammers or magic, not swordsmen or spearmen who used blades.

    “Hehehe, if it were me in the past, I would have done that! But for me this! Newly purchased!”

    Tiel spoke confidently, slightly lifting the sword on his waist.

    “There is an enchantment sword!”

    “You want to test the new sword, Thiel. So to speak, a test cut.”

    “That’s it!”

    “Ha, yes. I should try cutting as well. Then let’s do this. While I was receiving it, I also applied for a recruitment request on the request board.”

    Recruitment request.

    It was no different from a job request commonly used by adventurers.

    A recruitment request in which you write down the conditions on the request board for the adventurer you wish to share the request with.

    In addition, it was useful for finding adventurers with specific abilities, and when using it, you had to pay a certain amount of money.

    Thiel and his party applied for a recruitment request, accepted the request, and headed straight to the habitat where the Stone Snake was located.

    “Ugh… Of course, I should have gone after sleeping~ I’m a bit tired… .”

    “He said he would be full of motivation someday. Stop whining and come to your senses.”

    “Risha~ Mika is cold.”

    “Cheer up, T.L. Show me Tiel in action, wielding his new sword. In other words, appreciating the performance.”

    “Yes! I’ll do my best!”

    Mika burst out laughing when he saw Thiel regaining his energy from Leesha’s simple encouragement.

    “It’s simple so it’s really easy to live with.”

    And after a while, Thiel and his party arrived at the area where stone snakes live.

    Tiel and his group noticed pebbles and dry rocks here and there.

    “It’s really amazing to see things like this. If you take a few steps back, you will see a deserted place like this, even though it is a grassland.

    “It can be said to be a mystery of nature.”

    “Everyone, don’t relax. When will monsters come out… ”

    -Ssss… .

    “Ready!”

    As soon as they hear the sound of a monster, Mika goes into alert mode and Tiel and his group immediately draw their swords and raise their staffs at Mika’s signal.

    A stone snake with a heavy body that appeared to be five times the size of an ordinary snake appeared in front of the group.

    The reason it is called a stone snake is not only because of its hard scales, but also because it has gray scales that serve as a protective color and green eyes.

    “Good! I’ll deal with you first! Mika! Richa! Don’t step out, just wait!”

    Tiel triumphantly stepped forward holding the enchanted sword.

    “Come! I’ll show you a taste of my new sword!”

    -Self… Shaaa!

    A small snake that jumps up like a spring and attacks Tiel who is approaching him.

    As it jumped in, it opened its mouth and exposed its sharp teeth towards Thiel.

    However, Tiel, who was already accustomed to Small Snake’s speed while working as an adventurer, did not panic and swung his sword without hesitation as if he had cut off the arm of the goblin champion.

    Suddenly!

    The Stone Snake’s neck was cut cleanly and separated from the body, as if the head was being cut off.

    “huh… .”

    Thiel snorted lightly.

    “Wow, wow. It cuts really well!”

    He looked at his sword and was impressed.

    “Mika! Richa! I saw it! I am Stone Snake! In one shot! Slick! Slick! I did it!”

    “Oh, that’s amazing. That is the power of a sword with a cutting enchantment.”

    “It’s definitely worth the price. Are you saying I bought it after spending all my money on it?”

    “Yes! But now that I’ve tried it! I have no regrets at all! Hahaha! good! With this, that damned succubus gets one shot, one shot!”

    Looking at Tiel, who was smiling energetically, Mika asked Leesha in a low voice.

    “… He’s doing that. You don’t even know how to find the succubus in the first place.”

    “You seem to be in a good mood right now, so let’s leave it at that. Anyway, when the time comes, I’ll think about it again.”

    “Good! Let’s catch at least 10 more! Hahaha! I’ll show the Stone Snakes more of the power of my sword!”

    Tiel and his party picked up the Stone Snake’s magic stone lying on the floor and then moved on to hunt other Stone Snakes.

    The hunt was almost entirely Tiel’s work, and the Stone Snake magic stones that Tiel and his party gave upon returning to the guild were a total of 13.

    Thiel said after receiving the request fee from the reception desk.

    “Ah, Mika. Let’s see who wrote their name in the recruitment request!”

    “Well, okay. I don’t think anyone would have written it down yet anyway… .”

    Adventurers respond to recruitment requests by writing their names on the recruitment request form on the request board.

    Except for Thiel, neither Mika nor Richa looked at the recruitment request form on the request board without much expectation.

    “Oh!”

    “Huh?”

    “Hoo, your name is already on it.”

    However, contrary to their expectations, the names were clearly written on the recruitment request form.
