1st Guild's D-Class Guild Leader Episode 19

 

 

 

 

 

Aichen looked around.

 

He was the biggest, most physically capable, but he didn't seem to be the captain.

 

So someone who is hiding and unseen, who is shooting a cannon?

 

For some reason, it seemed that he wasn't the captain either.

 

After all, there was only one person who could be the captain.

 

The same person who is pouring red flames against the white snow.

 

Even if she wears a snowsuit, the slender lines of her body can be revealed, but how can the power of the flames be so hot?

 

The woman kept looking at him and kept him away from him with flames, but he didn't have to go to the trouble of doing so.

 

Aichen didn't dare to jump into the scene and make a fuss.

 

They struggled, but they didn't get tired easily, and they persistently pursued the monster.

 

Finally, the woman's fire burned the monster. The monster stopped and writhed.

 

"Gio, we can get this over with!"

 

The woman instructed Aichen, not letting go of her tension.

 

Even though they were only one monster, their victory was clear.

 

Aichen opened his eyes and was about to intuit the monster's end.

 

 

 

[Congratulations! you're the first monster slayer!]

 

 

 

…… The monster in front of him was still struggling and not dead.

 

“……?”

 

For the first time, the woman showed a look of bewilderment.

 

The man also saw the woman's eyes and stopped halfway through the way he had raised vigorously.

 

"What happened?"

 

A human spirit emerged from the snow-covered forest. With a bewildered voice.

 

He was a handsome man with blond hair who looked even more brilliant against the snow.

 

Judging from the fact that he was carrying a bazooka, it seemed that he was assisting the group with artillery shells.

 

"Someone killed the monster before us!"

 

After listening to the broadcast, the woman seemed to have quickly figured out what was going on. The cannon-bearer was embarrassed by her words.

 

The first monster defeat was lost in front of him. All three of them did their best.

 

“…… Nothing changes. Gio, put an end to this monster for now."

 

The woman quickly regained her composure. A man named Gio was seen scratching the monster's throat several times in the middle of the road.

 

But unlike a minute ago, there was a faint silence as if the fighting spirit that had been simmering like a blazing fire had been struck with cold water.

 

Only the first place gets attention. No matter how narrow the car was, it doesn't mean anything from second place.

 

The same was true of the special rewards given to monster slayers.

 

The conspicuous mark of "the first monster slayer" belonged to a stranger whose face he didn't even know.

 

"It's not that embarrassing. Of course, no one else was holding the monster. It's not like we have a monopoly on monsters. We just need to keep catching the monster like this."

 

At the woman's words, the beautiful man in the gold eye immediately shook his head, erasing regret from his face.

 

"Let's go back and rest. Gio, aren't you still hot?"

 

"Yes."

 

"Then you can go and hang around people like last time, and if there are rumors about the 'First Monster Killer,' collect them all, and when you come back, let's eat."

 

"Okay."

 

The woman and the blonde were torn one way, and the man who had put the Tao in his inventory was torn to the other side.

 

Aichen stayed with his friend and thought about it for a long time.

 

Even though he had just stared at the woman who was handling the fire, the momentary anticipation was dispelled by the sound of the broadcast. His eyes became calm.

 

"Maybe the monster isn't that strong. There are a lot of people out there besides them.'

 

Thoughtlessly, he had forgotten all his fear of the monster.

 

"If you want to be safe under anyone, you have to choose the strongest person here."

 

Aichen looked in the direction where the woman had disappeared earlier.

 

But he soon turned around without hesitation.

 

"The first monster slayer will be stronger."

 

He left with his friend to the other side.

Maybe we should have caught the character who was peeking at us earlier.

 

I'm not going to dwell on the title of "Killing the First Monster" that has already departed. However, the two characters who had been hiding in the forest earlier kept steaming.

 

They knew we were going to be the first monster killers, and they let us spread the word about our battle.

 

But if we're not in first place, but just a common hunt below it, it doesn't make much sense.

 

"That's ridiculous."

 

Still in a rage, Canhar slumped his feverish bazooka to his side and sat haphazardly in the burrow.

 

I approached the canal.

 

"Loosen your expression. It's a shame we missed the first hunt, but I'm happy with the three of us."

 

"Yes, you caught the monster and came back unharmed, that's enough!"

 

Lirith, who was informed of the situation by me, added words as if she was grateful. At that, Canhar creptly raised his head.

 

"Rudel, didn't you feel sorry for you? You took your strategy seriously and went into battle. I shouldn't have failed, even for your sake. The first hunt should have been yours."

 

"It's not me, it's Gio."

 

"Anyway."

 

You didn't seem to be very motivated, but you were so serious about what I was doing.

 

I was a little impressed.

 

He patted Canal on the left shoulder.

 

"I'm fine, because hard work doesn't always pay off. Good job. The bazooka aim was good."

 

As I was about to turn around, I saw Canhar putting his hand on the shoulder I had just tapped.

 

Did I get knocked and it hurt?

 

I don't think so, I'm a stat C.

 

Why are you smirking to yourself with your hands on your shoulders with your eyes closed?

 

Gio came back so soon that my thoughts were cut off.

 

"Did you get any information about the first monster slayer?"

 

Gio took the hot dog Lilit handed him before answering. It was an automatic reflex.

 

He put a hot dog in his mouth and shook the snow off his head.

 

"No, I didn't get anything."

 

"Why? Didn't you pick up a lot of information last time?"

 

"Everybody stops talking when I approach them and laughs, saying, 'The idiot has appeared.' That's why I didn't hear anything."

 

Are you still making fun of me for being an idiot?

 

After all, it's only been a few days since I picked up a naked creature in the woods.

 

But yes, I'm curious about the future of those guys who make fun of future rankers for being stupid!

 

"You should have snuck in! …… Oh, there was nowhere to hide."

 

The monster was sweeping across the field, pushing away any large rocks or bushes, let alone the forest.

 

If so, should I go out there and find out the rumors myself?

 

He was bothered by the lack of cover to hide in, but there was still some stealth potion left in Lirit's place.

 

I was a little hesitant about one.

 

Now that I've failed to be the first killer, I need to highlight my coolness to the viewers.

 

But if you take a stealth potion and hide, won't it lose its shape?

 

I shook my head.

 

Done, I think I'm still something, and I'm already dignified.

 

I'm still a weak character, and I'm a dirt spoon digger who exudes dignity and needs a little more strength than me.

 

Let's drink a stealth potion and come back. You need to know my topic.

 

I was about to say that I was going to go out for a while, but when I turned around, I saw Canhar dozing off.

 

The reclining face is also a work of art.

 

I feel like every single one of those things will be captured and kept by the viewers, and they will look at it every day when they are tired and tired.

 

By the way, I'm so exhausted.

 

I'm sure I'm distraught because of my intrinsic abilities, and I almost froze to death this morning. As soon as he warmed up, he fought a battle and it seemed to be quite difficult.

 

"Gio, move the canal to the bottom to make it easier."

 

"I hate it."

 

You refuse innocently without blinking an eye, very.

 

It wasn't until he handed her the chocolate candy that Gio began to move around like a man from the box where he had been deposited.

 

"Don't carry it like a bale of rice, but carry it like you would with Lirith."

 

Well said. Gio, who was about to put the canal on his shoulder, paused for a moment, and then picked him up and laid him down.

 

"Lirt, I'm playing with Gio. I'll be out for a while."

 

"Wouldn't you be in danger alone?"

 

"I'm not alone. With a stealth potion. Don't fall by the canal!"

 

"I'll do it, goodbye!"

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

As we wandered far, we saw a lot of brave people trying to catch monsters in groups.

 

Which of these would be the "first monster killers"?

 

Earlier, our connection was quick and swift.

 

To kill the monster faster than that, it would have been a group or a person with overwhelming strength.

 

However, the whole area is quiet.

 

The characters who are weak in the sudden change of situation are understandably baffled, and their unsettling movements are all over the place.

 

There was no news from the death alert, so it can't have been eaten already.

 

After wandering around for a while, I finally found the characters talking to the monster on the rocks that were still intact.

 

The two had just met and were separated from each other at a certain distance, as if they were wary of each other.

 

"Are you going to follow him?"

 

One of the characters asked the other person. It's as if we've been talking about it before.

 

Who is he?

 

"That's how it should be. Now's your chance. A weak person like me can be treated the same next to him."

 

When asked, the character clasped his hands together as if in a dream. This character also referred to him as 'Him'.

 

It's a different feeling than following the tyrant Isfan.

 

The feeling of looking up to and worshipping and revering with all one's heart.

 

If there was a character nearby who was revered like that, there was no way I wouldn't have noticed him until now.

 

"Then do you want to come with me now? I know where he is."

 

"Really? yes, let's go together."

 

I'll come with you.

 

Thinking to myself, it was a good thing, and I followed the two characters.
