[Arrows flying out of nowhere you say… Even so, I think I’ll still take that request. Just in case, I can use healing magic] (Varius)

[U…understood. I have no choice but to accept if you insist but…it’s really a waste of time for a Sage.] (Receptionist)

With that, my acceptance of the request has been confirmed.

Following that was an explanation by the receptionist on the location of the Luna Metal gathering spot.

Well, I did manage to dodge Sun Goku’s faster-than-sound Ruyi Staff.

Even if I have not returned to my former strength…as long as it isn’t beyond expectations, I should be able to dodge the arrows.

Thinking so, I left the guild and muttered…

[Nimbus Cloud] (Varius)

A few seconds later.

The Nimbus Cloud with Caucasus and Beelzebub riding on it approached me.

While I was completing the procedures at the guild, I had both of them on standby, riding the Nimbus Cloud above the guild.

[Well then, shall we be off?] (Varius)

[Ahh] (Caucasus)

[Geez, I was getting sick of waiting.] (Beelzebub)

Once the three of us were seated on the Nimbus Cloud…we raised our altitude in one go.

[Since I was told that the Luna Metal can be found in between the foot of the mountain and the lake, so…around there I guess?] (Varius)

I confirmed my destination from above, and flew there using the Nimbus Cloud.

After flying for about ten minutes, we have arrived at our destination.

After storing the Nimbus Cloud using storage magic, I used detection magic.

The result…I now know that there are some rather insignificant monsters lurking about nearby.

[Caucasus, I’ll leave the intimidation to you.] (Varius)

[Understood] (Caucasus)

As I requested, Caucasus released a wave of magic with the intention to threaten the nearby monsters.

[Varius, is this enough?] (Caucasus)

[Ahh, the small fries are gone. Thank you.] (Varius)

Doing this, I won’t have to bother myself with the monster’s attack and focus on gathering the Luna Metal and avoiding the arrows.

Now that things are in order, it’s about time to start searching for the Luna Metal.

***********************************************************************************

It’s been about 10 minutes of walking around since the search for the Luna Metal began.

Finally, I have discovered a stone that matches the characteristics which the guild has told me about.

By the way, there hasn’t been any attacks by arrows yet.

Although I’ve been using [Presence Detection] — which allows one to sense any movements or objects that enters a certain range — constantly…however, not once was there any sign of such a high-speed movement characteristic to arrows.

It’s possible that the archer may have ran away due to Caucasus’ intimidation earlier.

Having optimistic thoughts such as “That’s works just fine”, I picked the ore up.

But……at that exact timing, an arrow came flying.

I immediately twisted my upper body, dodging it.

As I expected, the arrow was at a level where dodging it is but a simple matter.

To top it off, I was able to tell from which direction the arrow came from thanks to presence detection.

As long as I know that it isn’t that big of a threat, I can ignore the arrows and continue gathering the Luna Metal.

But…a good idea just struck me, so I decided to act on it.

[Varius, why are you taking the Ruyi Staff out?] (Caucasus)

[That kind of thing needn’t even be said. Varius is gonna use that Ruyi Staff to repel the bastard who attacked earlier.] (Beelzebub)

As I took the Ruyi Staff out of the storage magic, Caucasus questioned me while Beelzebub guessed my intentions.

Well, normally that conjecture would be correct.

However…my plan this time is a little different from Beelzebub’s expectations.

[Beelzebub, although you’re close…you only got it half-right. I don’t intend to take down the guy who shot the arrow.] (Varius)

Telling Beelzebub that, I extended the Ruyi Staff towards the place the arrows came from.

The Ruyi Staff extended at a speed where even if it meets an obstacle, it would not destroy it.

Shortly after, the Ruyi Staff hit something hard.

I then stopped the extension of the Ruyi Staff.

[Caucasus, Beelzebub, please get on the Nimbus Cloud.] (Varius)

I urged the two of them. 

After that, I got onto the Nimbus Cloud myself and took to the skies.

[Varius, what is the meaning of this?] (Caucasus)

[Look below. Can you see the Ruyi Staff that I left behind?] (Varius)

I pointed at the Ruyi Staff that I left on the ground as I said so.

[Think about it, somebody shot and arrow from the direction which we are heading towards, which would mean that there shouldn’t be any obstacles in between us and that somebody, right?] (Varius)

[That is true…… Ahh, so that’s it!] (Caucasus)

Caucasus seems to have come to an understanding.

Caucasus then continued.

[In other words…if we search around the area where the Ruyi Staff extended towards, we should be able to find whoever attacked us.] (Caucasus)

[That’s how it is.] (Varius)

I was impressed by Caucasus’ sharpness. The place where I left the Ruyi Staff may no longer have anyone nearby, so we focused searching from the sky instead.
