When [Giant Spider] first appeared, the young ladies were terrified and cowered.

But now, without a single one of them backing down, he unleashed an overwhelming attack. And yet, he swung his blade precisely at the spiders without taking a single wound.

Shhh!

The tip of the sword pierces straight into their vital points.

Then, the spiders that were bleeding green from the pure white blade cried out coldly.

Kieeeek!

He pierces the brainstems of the spiders that were struggling defenselessly in the air, and then slashes them with his sword blade.

Crunch! Crunch!

Before I could rest, pincer claws from all directions, left, right, and front, swiped past my head and right shoulder.

I turned my waist diagonally and used [Strike Smash] to slam three or four types of spiders into the building’s outer wall at once.

Kieeek-!!

After scolding them like that several times, the spiders won’t even come near me.

They were easy to defeat, but each one provided a salty experience.

After all, most of the current life levels of me and Youngae are 2-star (★★).

Of course, we are strong.

Because I’ve overcome various coincidences that are not even known to the average user. Even if it’s not a 2-star rating, it’s a 3-star or 4-star rating, so it’s believable.

The level is low, so the experience points are still given.

The power is much stronger in this situation…?

‘Then, I guess I can become more explosively strong!’

It felt different from the last hunt and yesterday’s hunt.

And yesterday’s hunt and today’s hunt also felt different.

Hunting was becoming easier and easier.

Youngae and I were able to kill all the spiders very easily.

* * *

That day, we celebrated our entry into the “undiscovered area,” , by having a small campfire inside the room.

In fact, even though it was called a campfire, it wasn’t an event with any special character.

All we had to do was sit there and wait while the ‘archaeologists’ who had been mobilized to the base camp came and started excavating.

Of course, there was something to see at all.

The elven snow leopards, each with a slender figure and wearing strange green armor that revealed their navels, danced happily.

“Heee ··· ···.”

Sergei and I admired the elves, our expressions blank, as we tore at a leg of smoked cocoa.

however.

Search leader Karina approached us and praised us for our efforts in repelling the spiders’ invasion.

“You guys! Your skills are really amazing？”

Sergei scratched his head in humility, but Arisha and I both raised our noses, puffed out our chests, and coughed.

“Haha! I’m embarrassed.”

“Ahem······.”

Then Karina smiled brightly and said.

“You can join our search party! How about I give you a letter of recommendation?”

“Wow! Really?”

For some reason, Ryona intervened and her eyes sparkled at Karina’s words.

Even a half-elf can’t hide the elf’s blood, is that right?

In fact, working for a national special forces unit like the Rangers offered far less compensation than working for a private guild.

Of course, the standard here refers to large guilds classified as having a credit rating of AA or higher.

Even though the “Ranger” unit, known as one of the three special forces, is a public unit, it is treated much better than guilds with a BBB rating or lower.

However, ‘Elf’ is a being that pursues honor more than material things, and feels a deep affinity with the Great Forest.

Rather than the hustle and bustle of the city, would it be better to be part of a ranger unit in the great forest? Is that it?

“Hehehe, you said Ryona, right? Of course, I’ll write it. If you want, right away, you can also write it as “Student”···.”

But I firmly cut Karina off.

“No.”

For a moment, a quiet silence flowed among the group.

If I hadn’t allowed Ryona to join, there would have been a few people weighing whether to join or not.

That is, ‘Luzelin’, whose entire family was subjugated and was being forcibly led around, and ‘Sergei’, who was listening with his eyebrows furrowed.

“Haha, I can join···.”

Karina asked me, without even hearing Sergei’s opinion.

“Why, you say it won’t work?”

“Ryona has already joined the hypnosis club.”

“Choe ··· ···Hypnosis Club?!”

The club at the academy, later after graduation.

It is the origin of the ‘guild’, a corporation also called the ‘company’ of hunters.

“This is the first time I’ve heard of such a club… Lucius, are you the leader?”

I nodded.

Then Karina held out her hand to me and said:

“Then, it goes without saying that everyone’s skills are great. What do you think? Why not try forming a sisterhood with our Ranger Search Group?”

“Sisterhood···？”

At Karina’s words, the girls’ eyes widened.

“Sisterhood”.

It is a system of “blood alliances” formed between guilds, and refers to a relationship in which they help each other when one side invades or is in trouble.

Naturally, it is much more appropriate to form an alliance with a public or national organization rather than a private guild.

Private guilds work against their own interests, where yesterday’s comrades can become tomorrow’s enemies at any time.

This is because public organizations rarely betray trust unless they commit illegal acts that go against the national interest.

‘Therefore, only large guilds of at least AA level or higher were able to form sisterhood ties with national or public organizations…’

When Youngae and I looked a little nervous, Karina smiled and said.

“Don’t be nervous! It just means that we should meet up sometimes and do things like mountain training.”

I nodded, responding happily.

“Hmm, then. I guess I can teach the mysteries of hypnosis to the Ranger Search Party members!”

“······. Hmm, what on earth is hypnosis? Can I ask what it’s effective for?”

··· ···.

Are you trying to suddenly form a sisterhood relationship without even knowing what kind of club we are?

I guess it was because of the last time I saved ‘Rania’.

I think the fact that ‘Darae’, Karina’s close junior, follows me was a big positive factor.

“Huh, that’s right.”

Whisper, whisper –

As I whispered to Karina, a bright color suddenly appeared on her face.

“I really didn’t know hypnosis had such an effect~？”

“What on earth is the effect? Don’t keep it to yourself. Teach me! Captain.”

Whisper, whisper.

“Gyaaak! Lucius! You and I must have been sisters in our past life!”

[The popularity of the group ‘Ranger Series’ ‘3rd Search Battalion’ rises to an incredible level.]

In an instant, I was surrounded by Rangers and became an unstoppable celebrity among them.

Haha.

I chuckled.

If the favorability rating continues to rise like this, they may end up forming a sect relationship rather than a sister relationship.

The girls looked at me with curious expressions.

“Dae, what on earth are you talking about that got you so caught up in all this nonsense?”

“Teach me too!”

I couldn’t answer each and every one of the love calls from the young ladies.

But when I told some of the honorable ones what they wanted, they all smiled and cheered.

Arisha suddenly started fiddling with the leash with a happy expression.

“Ahaha, Lucius! Really, you’re going to take me for a walk once a week!? ♥.”

“Oh, brother, rice, pervert ~!!”

Choa slightly pulled down the underwear and bra that were covering her chest. And Anastasia looked at me with a blushing expression on her face.

“Hee, heeeek···. You’re taking Choa hostage?!”

Because in reality, what I said will spread to each of their ears differently in the form they each want.

【What the other person wants.】

My hypnosis is to fulfill exactly what the other person wants.

So the answer that was whispered in their ears was also spreading in the form of a fantasy about what each of them wanted.

“That would be great! Ah, I want to go back to when I was a cadet too~”

“Yeah, I’m going to join our cute Lucius’ club right away!”

I looked at ‘Lilith’, who was quietly watching us from the darkness and drinking a cup of warm herbal tea.

‘Thank goodness, brother…’

What, what. Why does that guy keep saying he’s lucky?

If you go back to the Academy this week.

As Lilith took off another layer of her underwear every night, she decided that she should also delve into her inner thoughts.

Because now.

Because their hearts were so clearly visible, like looking through a window.

* * *

Next week, the Academy’s busy daily routine rolled on again.

“Attention, baby!!”

But during the morning assembly, our homeroom teacher, Lee Seol-ah, who always finished her speech quickly without any special incident, focused our attention.

“I have something special to announce today!”

She waved the bundle of documents she was holding to her chest with a joyful expression.

I thought as soon as I saw it.

Huh, is that me?

“There’s someone in our class who deserves an award for excellent grades!”

Lee Seol-ah winked at me slyly.

With a smile that seemed slightly affectionate, which was unusual for her.

She smiled affectionately, but was it because of her ample chest that she looked a little sexy? Or was it because of her fox-like eyes that smiled?

Anyway, I slowly stepped out of the chair I was sitting on.

“Lucius-kun! Miss Arisha, please come straight forward!”

The prediction was not wrong.

=========================

These are the Rangers who feel a growing affection for Lucius and approach him to talk to him…!!
