“There it is!”
“Leave it to me!”
Erza’s voice resonated in the mountains.
And at the same time. The attack of the monster that Erza had taken until then changed to a Nod, and that giant body was thinned to Nod.
It looks like a bear.
The whole body is covered with deep bristles, and underneath the fur is a violent muscle mass.
However, the two are in a red color as if they were stained with blood.
It was a feature of “Berserk Bear”.
A large bear usually shows a gentle nature, but if there is something in it, it has an ecology that makes its eyes angry red and rampages around.
The tycoon bear in front of Nod is an individual who didn’t know the reason but dyed his eyes in red and went around, and part of the request of adventurer’s guild to defeat it.
── Bakibaki!
Nod uses a type of defensive technique using a shield—passing off a brute-forced blow like a tycoon bear.
When Nod’s shield touches the typhoon bear claw, the direction of the typhoon’s power goes to the other side, as if it slipped on Nod’s shield easily.
The violent blow that was thrown in the wrong direction easily shattered the dead tree, which also had the trunk of Nod.
There is a chance after the attack. This is especially true if it is a anger-dominated monster.
Nod swings his sword to the big bear at the same time as the shield its attack.
A straight line runs through the large bear body with the sound of the wind breaking through.
When a bear is controlled by anger, its hair is as hard as a wire. The resistance of the tough fur was cut apart by the blade that Nod swungs.
It is a jadeite sword with a shining blade.
The steel brought from the deep sea floor by the hand of the treasure strengthened Nod’s beloved sword and became his new power, showing a strong presence in its dominant arm.
After Nod swings his sword, blood spills out like a blow from the bottom of the fur.
A new angry factor of pain is added to the thoughts of the Berserk Bear and bear rampages more rapidly.
“Guoooo!”
A loud roar shakes the earth, and thrives in the mountains in the winter. If the adventurer is a newbie and he is attacked by the roar, he will unable to move.
“Fyuuhh!”
Rather doing that, they grasped the behavior of the large bear calmly and found out a chance to launch the attack boldly.
“──Don’t forget about me!”
From behind, Erza also attacks the bear with her spear.
“Goooo !?”
Gorori and the tycoon bear’s eyes whisper and sees Erza in its back.
A large bear with anger over his entire body shows a twisting movement so that he no longer knows what he is angry with.
Its aim is set to Erza again.
“Like I let you do that!”
Without overlooking the sign, Nod beats the big bear with a shield, attacks it with a sword, and swings its arms to show off his existence.
Girori, the action of Nod—The berserk bear who became more angry with the taunt, set its gaze again to Nod.
The bear started attacking Nod again, but Nod prevented and avoided the attacks, and sometimes turned to counterattack. Erza is free to attack during that time as the target was moved to Nod.
Although it is a large bear with its whole body upside down due to anger, the whole body is chasing hand wounds and sheds blood from the wound. Blood will stop after a while due to anger, but the lost blood will not return.
-A little more.
The battle was definitely approaching the end.
§
“–Yes, this is the fulfillment of the request for “ Defeating the Great Bear “.”
At the counter of the adventurer’s guild in the capital city, Nod and Erza were reporting the achievement of the request.
After submit a request form and settle the material items obtained in battle. Receiving rewards and ──
“Ooooo!”
── The guild card for the two of Nod and Erza returned from the adventurer’s guild staff.
“This is!”
The board in which the adventurer’s information was engraved was replaced by a material that changed from a sliding stone material to a transparent light blue material – crystal.
The translucency can be understood by the light inside the guild building.
Although it is by no means an expensive material, its texture is different from just a stone. As the name of cobblestone, it was proof that one head had escaped from the rank where a lot of valuable things and a lot of things were mixed.
“Oh! Did you become a crystal class adventurer?”
Crystal class adventurer guild card that is the proof of crystal is lowered from the neck, and if you look stubbornly and emotionally, an old acquaintance adventurer calls out
“Whatever!” “You finally do it” “Fast…” “When I was younger”
“Yosha! Today is a celebration!”
“Cheers to the adventurers who do it!”
Other adventurers in the vicinity who responded to the voice–some people who he knew and some who he met for the first time– gathered around Nod and Erza one after another.
Someone who is amazed, someone who is impressed, someone who feels nostalgic and remember their youth. After each person’s various reactions, he makes noise as an excuse for a banquet without anyone.
The cheers was screamed with the names of Nod and Erza, and it immediately disappeared as part of the hustle and bustle of the tavern.
“Good grief……”
“Ahaha …”
Nod and Erza arrived at the table of the bar.
For the adventurers who would drink anything if there was a celebration, the junior rank up was a great story.
“We didn’t have time to celebrate ourselves”
“Yes, but I didn’t feel bad.”
Nod agrees with Erza’s words, “Yes.”
The adventurer who was treated as a child was stroked his head, beaten by his back, pierced by his elbow, touched his buttocks by elusiveness (the poor man was a female adventurer), and it was a fuss But it was celebrating seriously.
Charari, the guild card in the chest hits the armor and makes a noise.
The sound that is hard can be heard with a clear tone.
“I finally became a crystal class adventurer”
“Ah……”
I agree with the voice that seems to be deeply touched.
Yes, I managed to be promoted to crystal class adventurer.
The adventurer’s class is divided into 10 levels, starting with the first rank stone plate adventurer plate, except for the lowest stone class, and the highest tenth rank legend class adventurer.
To be precise, the highest jewel class is a class that no one has yet, so the ninth-ranked orichalcum class adventurer is the de facto final point.
Aside from that, crystal class adventurer is only the third-level adventurer counting from the bottom.
It is a class that has not reached half of the adventurer’s journey.
However, the crystal class is a class promoted by adventurers who have been recognized as “valued beings” among the “stones” that follow the stone and white stone classes.
Social credibility has also been recognized as somewhat better in the group of adventurers, such as bandits and pirates, to say the least, full-scale escorts and the delivery of valuable items , You will be charged with responsible work.
Naturally, the risks associated with it and the skill required will increase, but the reward will also increase.
In general, it was recognized by crystal class adventurers as “one-on-one adventurers”.
About half a year after Nod and Erza formed a party.
One year has already passed since Nod became an adventurer.
It seemed long and it was a very short month and day.
It is generally said that it takes two to three years to get promoted to a crystal adventurer. Some adventurers have been promoted over five years.
And, of course, there are those who quit adventurers without being promoted to crystal adventurers.
In comparison, Nod and Erza climbed the adventure class at a speed that could be said to be too good.
There was a lot of good luck there, but Nod thinks that one of those good luck would have been each other’s equipment.
The equipment worn by Nod was very different from the previous one.
Leather armor made of hardened leather is a monster scale – a gorgeous scale armor that uses strong fish dragon scales.
The weapon carried on the waist strengthened the love sword from a child’s saddle and changed into a sword with a jadelite blade.
The shield on the left hand was also replaced by a shield made from a surplus of gedrites that were produced when the sword was strengthened, and a dragon scale used for the armor.
Erza’s outfit has also changed from a light armor to a black armor wolf to a vermilion tip—a spear made from red horn beast.
Full-body defense and attack power, and skill to dwell. These are isolated from the year before the adventurous advent.
And above all, he thinks that meeting Erza was important.
Encounter with Erza who is able to maintain a high level of workmanship and breathing.
It was more than just doubled.
She was able to get rid of Rock Wolf overcome the plight of the Ferris family, and was often helped in later adventures.
She helped collect the materials for the armor, and above all, I was able to safely be promoted to a crystal class adventurer.
“–Erza”
“What?”
Nod calls out with an ordered ale cup.
Unusually, Nod also interested in drinking today.
“Thank you for organizing the clan party so far.
“… Yes”
Erza had the same feeling in the words of Nod, who was deeply appreciative and thanked for the adventures so far.
At the end of this rank-up quest for crystal class adventurer, Nod and Erza party was decided to be dissolved.
The reason was Erza’s personal circumstances and she had to return to her hometown.
If you meet an adventurer’s companion, it’s inevitable.
The remnants are endless, but if you were an adventurer, this was also an event you could experience.
“Can you do well with your national permit?”
“Do you not get hurt?”
Nod raises the cup.
Erza moves with it.
Nod liked Erza. It’s not the opposite feelings, but as a warrior who can fight with his back.
And that feeling would have been the same with Erza. He has never confirmed, but a friendship was cultivated between the two who could understand without exchanging words.
“To celebrate the promotion of crystal class adventurers … Cheers!”
They drink the ale of the meeting cup at once.
Gokugoku and the bubbles of ale flowing into the throat, falling into the stomach while stimulating their throat
“Puh!”
“You are not a good drinker!”
Erza, who has foam in her mouth, talks to a Nod that has a foam around his mouth.
Pick up the next ale cup and beat the cheers again.
“To each other’s new start … Cheers!”
The content flies into the air from a powerfully struck cup.
After that, the sound of cheers reverberated many times in the night bar.
§
“Nod”
It’s been a while after Nod was promoted to a crystal class adventurer.
Erza returned to her hometown and Nod broke up the party, but he continued as an adventurer.
The season is late autumn, and the early winter, when it starts to snow, is almost halfway.
In the Hamil kingdom, which is closed to snow in midwinter, there are many adventurers who hate activities under the special conditions of snowfall and suspend activities until spring.
However, Nod was only requested when there was no competitor and now it was earned.
Many of the monsters hibernate in the request of adventurers in the winter, and the types of collection, delivery, escort, etc. mainly increase.
In addition to requests for subjugation of individuals who have failed to hibernate or monsters that are active regardless of snow, there are also requests for the winter season, such as subjugation/capture requests such as ice spirit.
However, Nod, whose first adventurer activity in the winter, and the first time Erza was gone, he mainly worked to request collection.
On that day, he met a request to collect a plant called frost and grass that grows in winter mountains and returned to his house for the first time in a week.
When the spoken Nod turned to the Lord of Voices, there was Maria, the mother.
She was dressed in the lady’s clothes and was standing there with her spine straight up as if it was inserted with a horizontal bar.
“Yes, what is mother”
“I have a story, please come to my room later.”
When Nod turned to her mother, Maria, corrects her residence, she said in a voice that her feelings were not realized.
“I understand. I’ll go after I took my armor.”
When Nod returned to his room as he was told, when he placed his armour in his room, he headed to Maria’s room for later care.
I knocked on the door of the room, asking my heart whether I could have been beaten by my mother.
“This is Nod, I visited”
“You can go in.”
After getting into the room with permission, the interior that was familiar to Nods’s eyes. The wallpaper and the sculptured room with the floral design are unusual and gorgeous for the Ferris family who are supposed to be solid and solid.
Nonetheless, there are no other kites or paintings, and there are few other items to decorate the room, so it gives a wide impression.
There was no one other than his mother room, the mother who is his parent and raising him.
The reason why the twins Clarissa and Christopher who are about to be one year old are not in the room is because the maid is taking care of them.
As a child, Nod raised in the mother’s room thinks that before moving to his room.
“What’s the problem?”
“It’s about Hannah.”
Nod cuts out the story as if to ask. It seems that it wasn’t a word of remorse that returned.
Nod, a young enthusiast who gained his name in the adventurer’s guild, is a good young man who was afraid of his mother’s thunder in front of his mother. Well, this may have been Maria, the knight’s wife who looks like a goddess.
Although it was a Nod that stroked the inner heart to see if it was not about me, this time he wondered what happened to his sister Hannah.
Nod thought about his sister Hannah, who had been cute for her childhood.
“Hannah is talking about marriage…”
“Eh, Hannah sister is!?”
That is pleasing. Although it is Nod that was so faced, he would like to see Maria who seems to be crisp immediately.
“Mother?”
“………”
When asked, my mother Maria is just silent.
What happened? Nod waited for Maria to open her mouth.
For some time, silence dominates the room.
From the outside of the window, I could hear the voices of my brothers and sisters who were probably playing in the garden.
“It ’s Hannah ’s marriage, but the story doesn’t go well.”
I’m about to fail. The expression of my mother who continued saying so seemed to be suffering.
“……What happens?”
Nod put a hand to listen to the continuation.
At this point, I was able to understand why I was called, but it turned to belief in the next mother’s voice.
“It seems that the other family got to know about bad reputation of our family, the Ferris family.”
He wonders if there is something to say as a mother to my son, Nod. Maria spun out the words in some places.
The reputation here is definitely debt.
The length of history as an aristocrat, the military fame Ferris House is a perfect existence.
If it is only related to knight, the Ferris family who also produced imperial guars before for third generation, there is no problem as a noble rank if it is not a high-ranking aristocrat like earl or a marquis.
“The opponent is?”
“… A baron who is a friend of the house where Hanna works in royal palace.”
First, there was no mistake.
The Ferris family, who have so many children and their child support, have accumulated debt after debt for more than a decade.
It has come to the point that it is no longer possible to borrow any more.
The situation is easy to understand after a little research, and it must be said that the Ferris family is like that.
Recently, his brothers and sisters and Nod have turned their households into a surplus, allowing them to repay their debts little by little.
Although it will take time, the books of the Ferris family will eventually become beautiful.
However, it is the story of the Ferris family in the future until they get tired, and there is no doubt that the current Ferris family is in debt.
The marriage of gold is a story that is disliked by any class regardless of the common nobility.
Nod, who understands the situation surrounding her sister Hannah, asked her mother for confirmation.
“──In other words, is it necessary to show the “attitude” that you can return the things you borrowed to some extent?
“Yes.”
“And how much is that?”
How much should he earns so that Hannah’s sister can get married?
Twenty or thirty silver coins … or …
“Two hundred silver coins”
What the?
Nod was trying to figure out what kind of request it would receive in his head. While exploring his own memories, what was the reasonable request in the Adventurer’s Guild?
But it was interrupted by the amount that her mother Maria told her.
“… Mother, would you please tell me again?”
“Two hundred silver coins”
It doesn’t seem to be a mistake.
“… I’m sorry, can you tell me the total debt of ou house?”
Nod asked his mother, such as being surprised.
He has asked Alex of the decree, but he hasn’t asked the details to the non-inherited Nod.
Still, the monthly balance was bad-knowing that the deficit continued, it was expected that debt would be “significant”.
And finally Nod was even more impressed by the amount that mother asked.
──Well, it is Ferris family, a subordinate aristocrat, that was borrowed to that extent.
Or, “From when has the house become the lord?”
The Ferris family includes job titles, and the house is only a subordinate noble house that has about 30 silver coins.
This is related to the fact that the samurai’s record is considerably suppressed in monetary terms because of the direct control of the royal family. I was getting. (From this amount, territory nobility has various expenditures)
Even the territory aristocrats cannot easily complete the repayment. Nord decided to ask his mother Maria what happened.
Maria says that this debt began before the birth of Nod. There was no problem until he married and the eldest son Albireo was born, but then the war with the neighbouring country broke out as he was wearing the eldest daughter Hannah. Father Albert, who was just married to his mother Maria at that time, was willing to pursue his career. At that time, borrowed money from relatives and set out. He said that he got a job title and got his current position.
After that, the father and mother “became better” and the children of Ferris were born one after another.
The problem is that the expenses increased from one to the next before the debts at the time of the expedition were paid back.
Children, grandfather’s funeral, re-serving again. Expenses overlap for various reasons, and each day you wait for repayment and apply for another debt.
Naturally, it means that you have to pay “interest”. They become a large amount of money that bulges and becomes the debt of the Ferris family.
This “two hundred silver coins” is because it is necessary to repay the debt that has been accumulated in piles– some of which have been waiting for repayment for nearly two decades. It was an amount of money.
Even if he repaid these two hundred silver coins, he couldn’t be surprised that his debts still remained, but he understood why he needed so much.
Regardless of repayment in small increments, if you make a partial repayment at once, rather, “Why don’t give priority to debt from my home! I’m waiting for XX years! Because it becomes.
And for her sister Hannah’s wedding, she also has to pay a deposit from the Ferris family. It costs a lot (the aristocracy’s wedding costs money), so if you have such money, return it to my home! “If you don’t repay your debt in advance, you’ll get a big spread.
Sister Hannah ’s marriage partner’s relatives seem to be most wary of the insult of the situation, and conversely, if she can collect even the money, Hanna can marry without problems.
(I don’t know …)
Nod then resigned from the room saying “I’ll try it as much as possible” to Maria, but it just worried about what happened.
There is a lot upcoming young adventurer like Nod that has recently been promoted to crystal class adventure. The crystal class adventurer “annual income” is said to be about 40 for a silver coin. It should be noted that further maintenance costs for consumables and weapons will be generated from here.
“There it is!”
“Leave it to me!”
Erza’s voice resonated in the mountains.
And at the same time. The attack of the monster that Erza had taken until then changed to a Nod, and that giant body was thinned to Nod.
It looks like a bear.
The whole body is covered with deep bristles, and underneath the fur is a violent muscle mass.
However, the two are in a red color as if they were stained with blood.

What happened? Nod waited for Maria to open her mouth.
For some time, silence dominates the room.
From the outside of the window, I could hear the voices of my brothers and sisters who were probably playing in the garden.
“It ’s Hannah ’s marriage, but the story doesn’t go well.”
I’m about to fail. The expression of my mother who continued saying so seemed to be suffering.
“……What happens?”
Nod put a hand to listen to the continuation.
At this point, I was able to understand why I was called, but it turned to belief in the next mother’s voice.
“It seems that the other family got to know about bad reputation of our family, the Ferris family.”
He wonders if there is something to say as a mother to my son, Nod. Maria spun out the words in some places.
The reputation here is definitely debt.
The length of history as an aristocrat, the military fame Ferris House is a perfect existence.
If it is only related to knight, the Ferris family who also produced imperial guars before for third generation, there is no problem as a noble rank if it is not a high-ranking aristocrat like earl or a marquis.
“The opponent is?”
“… A baron who is a friend of the house where Hanna works in royal palace.”
First, there was no mistake.
The Ferris family, who have so many children and their child support, have accumulated debt after debt for more than a decade.
It has come to the point that it is no longer possible to borrow any more.
The situation is easy to understand after a little research, and it must be said that the Ferris family is like that.
Recently, his brothers and sisters and Nod have turned their households into a surplus, allowing them to repay their debts little by little.
Although it will take time, the books of the Ferris family will eventually become beautiful.
However, it is the story of the Ferris family in the future until they get tired, and there is no doubt that the current Ferris family is in debt.
The marriage of gold is a story that is disliked by any class regardless of the common nobility.
Nod, who understands the situation surrounding her sister Hannah, asked her mother for confirmation.
“──In other words, is it necessary to show the “attitude” that you can return the things you borrowed to some extent?
“Yes.”
“And how much is that?”
How much should he earns so that Hannah’s sister can get married?
Twenty or thirty silver coins … or …
“Two hundred silver coins”
What the?
Nod was trying to figure out what kind of request it would receive in his head. While exploring his own memories, what was the reasonable request in the Adventurer’s Guild?
But it was interrupted by the amount that her mother Maria told her.
“… Mother, would you please tell me again?”
“Two hundred silver coins”
It doesn’t seem to be a mistake.
“… I’m sorry, can you tell me the total debt of ou house?”
Nod asked his mother, such as being surprised.
He has asked Alex of the decree, but he hasn’t asked the details to the non-inherited Nod.
Still, the monthly balance was bad-knowing that the deficit continued, it was expected that debt would be “significant”.
And finally Nod was even more impressed by the amount that mother asked.
──Well, it is Ferris family, a subordinate aristocrat, that was borrowed to that extent.
Or, “From when has the house become the lord?”
The Ferris family includes job titles, and the house is only a subordinate noble house that has about 30 silver coins.
This is related to the fact that the samurai’s record is considerably suppressed in monetary terms because of the direct control of the royal family. I was getting. (From this amount, territory nobility has various expenditures)
Even the territory aristocrats cannot easily complete the repayment. Nord decided to ask his mother Maria what happened.
Maria says that this debt began before the birth of Nod. There was no problem until he married and the eldest son Albireo was born, but then the war with the neighbouring country broke out as he was wearing the eldest daughter Hannah. Father Albert, who was just married to his mother Maria at that time, was willing to pursue his career. At that time, borrowed money from relatives and set out. He said that he got a job title and got his current position.
After that, the father and mother “became better” and the children of Ferris were born one after another.
The problem is that the expenses increased from one to the next before the debts at the time of the expedition were paid back.
Children, grandfather’s funeral, re-serving again. Expenses overlap for various reasons, and each day you wait for repayment and apply for another debt.
Naturally, it means that you have to pay “interest”. They become a large amount of money that bulges and becomes the debt of the Ferris family.
This “two hundred silver coins” is because it is necessary to repay the debt that has been accumulated in piles– some of which have been waiting for repayment for nearly two decades. It was an amount of money.
Even if he repaid these two hundred silver coins, he couldn’t be surprised that his debts still remained, but he understood why he needed so much.
Regardless of repayment in small increments, if you make a partial repayment at once, rather, “Why don’t give priority to debt from my home! I’m waiting for XX years! Because it becomes.
And for her sister Hannah’s wedding, she also has to pay a deposit from the Ferris family. It costs a lot (the aristocracy’s wedding costs money), so if you have such money, return it to my home! “If you don’t repay your debt in advance, you’ll get a big spread.
Sister Hannah ’s marriage partner’s relatives seem to be most wary of the insult of the situation, and conversely, if she can collect even the money, Hanna can marry without problems.
(I don’t know …)
Nod then resigned from the room saying “I’ll try it as much as possible” to Maria, but it just worried about what happened.
There is a lot upcoming young adventurer like Nod that has recently been promoted to crystal class adventure. The crystal class adventurer “annual income” is said to be about 40 for a silver coin. It should be noted that further maintenance costs for consumables and weapons will be generated from here.
