As we repeatedly entering the cave after some time we already on the 9 floor. We have been surrounded with an army of skeleton and zombie. Because I already building my experience fighting again them we fight them head on. I slash my sword on the enemy that come on my way and block the attack from the skeleton with my short dagger. By doing this I create an opportunity to my partner as she preparing her powerful attack on the enemy necromancer.

If I fight alone with this army I will use a pincer attack that is running around hitting and blocking an attack from an enemy that block my path then get closer to necromancer. It can be done because there is no skeleton archer respawn in here and the necromancer just summoning it army with a fixed quantity.

Firing her attack that contain a magic on her arrow that move with speed and accuracy from the wind and a piercing power from the fire, we success fully defeat the necromancer and before long we already clear this 9 floor.

Thinking thanks to this success I will can get my reputation as to be recognize to guarding the merchant to the city that will come out as a quest “visit the city”. The event occur on the morning, the village head come to my house recommending me to take an escort task on a merchant that often visit the city to sell their good, saying we go to the store to know the detail of the quest he then left.

Visiting the store there is a lady greeting me saying she was the one giving the quest. She look like on her 40 yr, and giving an aura we must bent down and respecting her well just from her stile she like a big boss on a company or a principal on the school. Not caring at our attitude she already begin at the detail of our work. Saying she couldn’t go on to the city herself because some work to do, so her daughter will go on her stead. Our job is to protect her daughter with the other guard, and saying she will introduce her daughter tomorrow on our depart.

We can miss this event and still can go to the city on the other time but we will be hard to meet our third partner if we go on the city again. Morning on the next day of the game I came to the gate entrance of this village, this gate is the gate when we first come to this village. This mission will take 3 day game time to reach the city and if we want to come back to the village again it will take 1 day to load on the city and 2 day to the village.

Because its look like we will long again or never come back to the village, our partner will come to see our depart. But I thinking to comeback as soon as possible after finishing what must to do in the city, because I need to take care my farm. It just that I want to set my base on the village.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Thinking what must I do on the city the first partner come to see me of is the village head daughter.

“morning kuro, this a homemade cook for your trip”

Giving me a box that wrapped with fabric. Then

“make sure you come back, ok!!”

Then I replay with like always a bit awkward response.

“ah thank you, as always. Yes, I will make sure I come back”

“that good goods”

She sure smile with that ordered tone. Then come the 2nd partner with a sulk expression looking at the village head daughter conduct.

“don’t come near at kuro” glaring at amelia with pulling my hand.

“wow, who is this your wife?” glancing at me.

“no, we still not married yet” before I replay there arumi replay her with bashful tone.

“hee, is your relationship already on that stage?” with back at her usual smile she ask me again.

Looking at this situation I make some clear statement that is.

“we are a party member so we often hunting together that it”

Glaring at me that a bit scary our conversation come to halt because come the carriage to our direction with 2 horse as to pull the carriage. the carriage have a small room on the midle of it and on the back there is the good been placed.

The girl come out from the carriage with the help of the 2 attendant she bring. Wearing a hijab and blue gamis with a black long maxiskirt, she come forward to my direction with an elegant step, on her step I could see not too high and not too short heel shoe. Her posture a bit tall then mine and have slim body and oh her wrist there a belt that I think have no use on it but it perfectly match her style. Well we could say she is a type elegant beauty.

The attendant on her right is a young lady at her 15 age and on her right is a man around 40 age. If we go with the other route we will be switching role with the other npc on her side, as the young lady position we use route direct as her assistant merchant and as the uncle we go with helping on the village to deliver their good.

So our role is me as a hired guard and 2 other npc as a volunteer guard that come along to visit the city, and her attendant as her personal guard. After we introduce our self and she saying her mother couldn’t come to greeting me we then prepare to depart. I then say my farewell to the 2 of this partner.

“ok guys, see you” I then take a step forward from the center of the 2 girl.

“we are a party, so you must come back and then hunting together again, ok” say Trista Arumi.

But when i will reach on my first step, my hand been pulled again to the back, and with a bit ordered tone Rizky Amelia whispering on my ear.

“come back again ok...”

“with some explanation.” Saying this line with a bit delay.

Then she let go my hand. Making me take the step forward again, without thinking.

“then see you…, make sure to eat” when she say this line is the time when i wake up from the blank expression i make.

Waving her hand at me I make an awkward smile then waving my hand. looking at it, i think our quarrel is still continue. still looking at them, there Trista Arumi shout to me with a furious expression asking what Amelia whisper on my ear. But I ignore it with just waving my hand then get on the carriage.
