Faust Forest–.

　It is a forest that s

preads out at the foot of Mt. Renee, a mountain of about 200 ft.

　It’s close to the city and the monsters aren’t that strong. Beginner adventurers visit there to get used to monsters and are used for training recruits.

　I don’t have to be very careful, but it’s the first forest Ciel will go to.

　As a parent, I want her to bring back good memories.

　I thought it was necessary to find a place to play and have lunch.

“Nu! It’s a buffalo bear’s claw mark.”

　Squinting while looking at the claw marks on the trunk of the tree. It’s a C-rank monster, but it’s marks are quite old.

　Seeing nothing new, it’s either a change of nest or a selection by another monster.

“But when it comes to monsters more than Buffalo Bear …”

　I look around.

　Funny. There are few signs of demons.

　On the contrary, I can’t even hear the sounds of wild animals. At this time of year, Forest Gueuze and Barrington Zemi should be noisy, but they are quiet.

　I’m not familiar with the ecology of this forest from corner to corner, but it’s a bit of an anomaly.

(It’s bad. I should have brought Prim or Rir …)

　When I was busy raising Ciel, I was asked to help by the escort guild who had been called out by Pamela before.

　It seems that the dignitaries had been notified of the murder and wanted to have the same number of animals.

　However, at that time, Ciel was just born and I couldn’t take my hands off. So I lent out only Prim and Rir as a trial.

　To be clear, I was worried, but they made a wonderful team. Moreover, they seem to have caught the criminal who was aiming for a VIP.

　For that reason, I often lent out Prim and Rir.

　Especially Prim can’t be my disciple all the time. She is getting the job of the escort guild as much as possible so that she can stand alone in the future. Rir is like that eye-catcher.

　Well, every time I go to work in the escort guild, I always have a stomachache …

　So this time I’m alone.

　It’s a little weird. Prim joined later, but there was always Rir when she was hunting.

　I think it’s the first time I’ve been hunting alone since I was still taught by Cheryl before I became a hunter.

　Though it is lonely and nostalgic, I will carefully explore the woods.

“Should I climb the mountain once and look down at the whole thing?”

　Immediately after making that decision, I stopped my footsteps.

　I searched for signs again, but there was no monster. That’s right, the appearance of the monster is.

(Good grief……)

　I took a deep breath.

“Ah! S-rank Tenryu is spinning the plate while dancing like a loach !!”

“Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah !! But where ?? Where oh oh oh ??”

　Screaming, a girl with gray hair emerged from behind a tree.

“Cho! Where! Where is Tenryu! Ukeru! Kukuku … Ahahaha — Where is it! Where is it !?”

　The girl opens her mouth and looks back at me.

　The light purple eyes that shined with curiosity reflected me glaring at her.

　It seems that the girl finally realized that I was lying.

　Even I, who said that the reaction was so good, felt guilty.

　I witnessed the soot-covered brown skin turning red rapidly.

“Well, Zelet! You deceived me ah ah ah ah ah !!!”

　She turned her gray hair upside down and raised her arms with tight muscles to protest.

“It’s been a long time, Vicky”

　This guy’s name is Vicky Gambinet …

　She is the same S-class hunter as me, and has experience of subduing S-rank monsters. Well, it’s a number that doesn’t even reach my feet …

　However, just defeating S-rank monsters looks like a god in the industry (however, the treatment aspect does not change dramatically).Quite Certainly a great skill.

　Her brown skin and gray hair show the characteristics of the dwarves, and although she is a hunter, she is as light as my disciple. The only thing that can be called equipment is a jewel that she hangs from her neck.

　Vicky grabbed me as soon as possible.

“Suddenly lied to the rival you met after a long time! As usual, you!”

“You are bad because you are easily deceived.”

　Well, in the case of Vicky, the problem is that she’s too innocent.

　She immediately believes what people say, how much she grew up in the country.

“In the first place, the S-rank monster Tenryu will not dance!”

“……… Eh? You don’t know? Tenryu dances like a loach to appeal to females on a sunny day.”

“Eh? Is that true? Uh, lie … Shinji …………”

“Did you not know that when you became an S-class hunter?”

“No, no! Be, I know! I’ve seen Tenryu dancing like a loach. I’ve seen it three times.”

　Well, she’s a painful guy who believes in lies and even knows.

“By the way, I heard that you quit the Hunter Guild and became a food provider.”
