My name is Trystha Ein Arts and I have a confession to make.

I am actually a reincarnator, a one whose very memories are intact through reincarnation from my previous life. I did live a short and rather normal life as a girl but that’s all.

Here, in this world, I am a fallen noble whose household was scrapped by the current king of the humans, King Ashfon Astlan Lionheart six years ago.

Well, I can’t say that my family was good people at all, especially my father who loves trampling on the poor and womanizing whenever he wants. I’m glad mother left him but how I wished she has brought me along.

Pity is unnecessary as I have found my own ways to live my life with no one chaining me down with either political strife or the suffocating environment. However, I am not that small minded not to think of my own future and to that end, I want to re-establish my household and rebuild my fief and most of all, marry a guy who will treasure me as I am.

I have another confession to make…

That’s…

Man…this party of mine sucks…

We, the party called Reminiscence, are currently employed a strong figurehead of the Beast Kingdom, Lady Higanbana. For identities’ sake, we call her Boss as of this moment while she is in disguise. My complaint is that though she hid her identity through magic, there isn’t much consideration for ours.

There shouldn’t be any contractual system in the adventurer’s guild for prolonging an escort mission without a set destination but since Lady Higanbana is first and foremost the upcoming Beast Queen and the rewards is a hefty amount of gold that we can take an early retirement, we just couldn’t decline.

Imagine…gold worth lifetime of labor and even spending her own wealth to buy us drinks every night for our drinking pleasure…this girl is surely a blessing in disguise for us.

This mission is too risky but the reward is going to be worth it. She even promised us a place to stay in the Beast Kingdom if ever we can’t find a place to settle in because of this mission.

That’s how generous our employer is but at the same time, her orders are too dangerous. Actually, exploring a low-level labyrinth could pass as a rest time for us…

Ah…as for why this party sucks. Well, it’s not because they are weak or anything but…there is a lot of unbalances that the team brings personality-wise.

“Trystha, an enemy north-east appeared. It’s a Stalagmite Slime.”

“Stalagmite slime you say? Those didn’t appear when we explored this floor three months ago. What do you want to do, Boss?”

Lu, the Swordmeister, called out to and informed me of the approaching enemy. She is a reliable companion for everyone here in this party but there is a slight problem with her that I cannot set aside for some reason.

I turned to Lady Higanbana for an answer and she glances at me.

“Do as you will. My only concern right now if whether Asagao is catching up with us or not. Though I really could use some moving if she is here, the plan is going well as you guys advised.”

“It’s a pleasure to be acknowledged by you, Boss.”

Asagao Lionheart…

A girl who suddenly appeared in the Kingdom and was declared as King Ashfon’s lost sister. Well, the evidence is there as they have a striking resemblance.

I heard that she is an extremely kind-hearted but a strong-willed princess and on top of that, her beauty exceeds what we ordinary girls can hope for. The description given to her was far underwhelmed as she is far more beautiful than what the rumors described her.

Even if she is garbed with ordinary clothes, her youthful beauty shines, as if the very fabric that she wore herself becomes the highest quality of garment out there. It’s like whatever she wears, it will bring nothing but pleasure to the eyes of the onlookers.

On top of that, Boss claimed that Asagao Lionheart has a skill and power equal to her. They trained under one teacher so they both know the basic capabilities of each other.

Even our Boss here is madly in love with her as she claimed because of her looks and personality.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

There’s also Casablanca Prasiolite and Hibiscus Prasiolite, the twin Elven princesses of this kingdom we are currently staying in. Peerless beauty and considered geniuses in their own fields that it makes us nothing but dirt.

Mixed with them is also Daisy Aestasia who is the daughter of the retired Beast King Folga and can even be considered as a princess too.

We know…we are aware that attacking and assaulting their groups will lay a lot of hostility to us even if we are adventurers and that’s scary. Even with Lady Higanbana’s reassurance, I just can’t keep still about it.

Imagine, us, attacking four princesses that banded together…

There’s also a girl who was wearing a maid uniform and another girl who has large tits. The girl in maid uniform was strong but it feels like she is not that experienced when it comes to battles, especially the ones oriented for teamwork. The other girl was non-hostile and would only eat even during our skirmish in the elven forest.

They are all utterly strong and can easily compete with us, however, that if they have teamwork.

“Lu, intercept it.”

“Got it!”

Lu moves forward with her shield and runs up to the stalagmite slime. Lu is considered the party leader because of her imposing aura but in reality, I am always the one who issues orders. As for the reason why…

“…Come.”

“……”

“S-Slime…come at me!”

Lu, despite her well-trained body and calm demeanor despite looking like a complete berserker, cares for all life and cannot initiate any pre-emptive attacks herself. She only fights back once her defense fails. The Stalagmite slime is only staring at her.

In hindsight, despite being the tank, her aggro is extremely low.

“That’s no good Lu! This fucker has such a good price so you better lop it off immediately!!”

“H-Hey! You are rushing it again, Eleanora!”

And out of all us, the one who gets all the aggro is none other than our very own Chanter, Eleanora, with her badmouthing all over the place. Despite being frail and only specializing in area magic, this woman with questionable attitude attacks in the frontline with a pre-cast magic.

So as to say, Lu and Eleanora are polar opposites.

“Hahahaha! [Fire Blast!]”

A small-scale explosion immediately shook the stone room with a bang, however, the Stalagmite slime is nothing soft compared to its basic form. It is slime with a body covered in rocks and from its name itself, stalagmite, it is covered with a spiky rock formation.

Her magic failed but Eleanora didn’t back down despite the slime targeting her. She could have packed more power behind that magic if she stayed in the backline and reinforced it.

She swings her staff again in a rather unwomanly manner.

“That’s not all I have! [Icicle!]”

Four icicles long as my arm appeared atop of the slime and with Eleanora’s command, the icicle attacks the slime, however, it only managed to trap it.

She turned around and makes a victory pose.

“You see that?! It’s trapped now! Neffi, do something about it.”

“Your lack of cooperation is annoying as always, you dimwitted chanter.”

“Hey, hey, if you have time to flap your mouth, shoot your damn arrows. See this guy here? He has more curves than your pitiful chest.”

“Tsk!”

Whoosh!

An arrow flew past beside Eleanora’s right cheek and it startled her enough to make her drop on the ground. With an enraged face, Eleanora snaps at Neffi.

“You rotten bitch! You shaved some of my hair!”

“Who the fuck cares about you anyway?!”

“Huh?! A lot! I have a good figure unlike you who has titty issues!”

“Said by you who hasn’t landed a boyfriend yourself for your shit personality?! You just keep piling tab after tab that you scammed from people!”

“Hahaha! That’s fancy hearing from someone who was left by her boyfriend because he got turned off by how small your tits are!”

“Bitch! I’ll aim at your damn jugs if you are really asking for it!”

“Ah, wait! You’re damn too accurate for that feat so let’s not take it out right now!”

“Tsk!”

P-Pathetic…considering you are the one who started it…

But really, for someone who came from the Elven race, Neffi’s breasts are passable for a grade school girl. Hell, even Lady Higanbana has a bigger chest than her.

I kind of felt bad for her once when I accidentally saw her trying a push-up bra that doesn’t even pushes anything upward. It’s a feat that no one can do nowadays…

“Derria and Lu…tell them off…please.”

“I’m not that verbally strong when it comes to those two so let Derria do something.”

Lu shook her head violently from my words. Once Neffi and Eleanora start a spat, no one knows what will happen next. It’s way worse when they are drowned with liquor.

I turn my sight behind to look for Derria but I immediately cast a frown upon seeing her resting atop Lady Aina’s baggage. She may look like the most motivated among us but she is actually a sloth who is good at pushing responsibilities to others.

“Derria…”

“I’m not doing it!”

“But…”

“I still got a hangover…”

“Were you…drinking earlier?”

“Yup…”

This girl loves her liquor like anything else. As expected from a demon kin of Oni subspecies. Drinking is her forte and that’s causing us too much trouble.

Meanwhile, Lady Aina who has an absurd strength seeing that she can carry a baggage with dozens of swords and weapons are just dozing somewhere. She has no battle experience but amazingly, her weapons are all high-quality. She is truly an artisan with a potential to become greater than the dwarves.

Troubled, I turn to Lady Higanbana.

“Umm…”

“This isn’t the first time I saw you guys like this. What’s more to see though? I’m quite interested.”

“I’m glad you are having fun yourself, Boss, but I am really ashamed of this display.”

“If you are, isn’t it better to just end that enemy yourself?”

“Yes…as you say…”

I drew out my rapier and with magic, I enchanted it with elemental properties. I start running towards the slime with the said rapier and aims to pierce its core.

“Here I go, [Durchbohren!]”

Being a Rune Knight, I can harness elemental properties and imbue my weapon with it all the while keeping my own body boosted with physical enhancement.

With my trained swordsmanship, I deftly aimed at the Stalagmite slime.

However, as I run, my toes are met with a slanted rock firmly lodged on the ground and I immediately lost my balance...

“Hya?!”

I stumbled and landed on my face all the while executing a fatal attack on the slime that pierces its body from one side to another.

Yes…

I have issues too and I admit it…

“Fufufu, clumsy as always.”

“Help me, Boss!”

I am a massive klutz and all of my kills are mostly accidental like this!
