How's our running today, huh? Tindalos, Baskerville.

I see, I get it.

Good boys.

It has been a few months since then.

Just as planned, I have been employing myself as an adventurer.

While doing commissions,

I have been getting other adventurers and the townfolks to remember my name.

The plan is to widespread my name across various places to reach Zenith,

which her current whereabouts are still unknown.

Nice! Hulk, Heracles!

Let's keep going!

You guys!

This commission will be taken by us Stepped Leader.

Even a herd of snow drakes that appeared in Ilbron Cave is no big deal for us!

Yeah!

You can just celebrate our achievements after we got back.

Thanks for your help too the other day, Quagmire.

The one who was being helped was me. Thank you.

Ah, Quagmire, if I heard about your mother along the way, I'll be sure to pass it.

I'll be counting on you.

It seems because of my activities,

the name "Rudeus Greyrat" is being knowable in this town.

Well, my other nickname "Quagmire" is being more widespread though.

To spread my name in a town, it takes about a few months to a year.

It seems this will take a really long time,

but I have no other choice but to do it.

Am I correct, Master Roxy?

I'm Rudeus Greyrat. Please treat me well.

So you're the famous Quagmire, huh?

I'm not sure about me being famous.

Well, just get to work.

Yes.

Good boys.

Going home?

Yeah.

I just finished a commission, and get back to the inn after reporting.

Our party is about to accept a commission.

Wanna come along?

Uhh...

Maybe it's because of how we intertwined at first,

but I have been included as Counter Arrow countless times.

Strictly speaking for my objectives,

acting together in a party for too long reduces the effectiveness.

Uh, when is the departure date?

Look, if you didn't want to come, why don't just say so?

It's not like you don't have a choice.

I'm sorry, I'm indecisive after all.

Can you stop that polite tone too? It's gross.

Stop it, Sara.

'Kay.

So, will you come, Rudeus?

Yes. Please let me join you.

Then, let's go decide on the commission first.

Galgau Ruins.

It's a fort built in the age of the First Human-Demon War.

I've seen my share of demon race structures in the Demon Continent,

but this one gives different vibes to it.

How long are you gonna sightseeing?

Ah, sorry. I'll be going now.

Do you like buildings?

It's not that I'm fond of them or anything.

It's just places like this are not something you can see every day.

Where are you touching?

Nowhere in particular.

Sorry.

So, here's the place.

Our commission is to gather snow drake's scales that have been dropped here.

For an A-class commission, this is fairly easy.

The inner part is snow drake's territory.

It's best not to proceed beyond that statue.

Okay.

If we fight against the snow drakes, this will surely become a difficult situation.

But this is just supposed to be the road they go past.

It'll be just fine if we hide and let them pass through, but...

There's not even a single monster in here.

I think I might have seen that statue somewhere before.

Isn't the authenticity too good to be true?

What was that?

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Enemy attack!

Make a run for it!

Why is this always happen?

Is everyone safe?

Let a smoldering spark incinerate tremendous bounty!

Flamethrower!

Let's go, Patrice!

Yeah!

They're not coming at us.

Be sure to hit one in front of you to distract them!

Got it.

There's more from the left!

Don't just stand around! You're going to fight too!

Ah, yes!

Now what?

Nice, we're going for the offense too!

Right. Leave it to us!

It finally ends.

Nice to meet you. I'm Timothy of Counter Arrow.

Thanks fo-

You think you can laugh without any shame after snatching someone's prey?

Snatching you say?!

We didn't even know you guys are in the middle of your thing!

Have I not been telling you to leave it in a clear way?!

I said we don't know!

Do you know something, Rudeus?

Uhh...

Back in the guild,

I think they were saying they're going to accept a commission or something.

The content is about subjugating a herd of snow drakes that appeared in Ilbron Cave.

Ilbron Cave?

That separate place is a one-day travel from here!

This is Galgau Ruins!

Calm down, Suzanne.

Are you even alright, Timothy?

Yeah, it seems he went easy on me.

Put down your bow too, Sara.

I also know about your commission.

I see.

It appears that the innermost part of Ilbron Cave and Galgau Ruins are connected,

and the monsters were running away to this place.

So, you guys are here for a different commission?

That's right.

If you want, you can even check with the guild.

Tch.

Sorry for hitting you out of nowhere.

Don't be. It can't be helped if you have a misunderstanding.

We're sorry too.

But still, these are our prey.

Your share is only one of them. Got it?

Yes, of course.

Well then, let's take our share and go back.

And then, celebrate with everyone after we got back in the town.

Sure thing.

Won't relieve without a drink.

Listen here, can't you join the afterparty for once?

Without further ado,

let's toast!

Toast!

In any case, we were lucky that no one died after we fought that many monsters.

Rudeus has such good luck, huh?

I wonder if it is luck.

I feel like you were who saved me.

Even if we count that fact,

If it was a normal party, usually they just let you die, you know.

I'm really thankful for that.

You don't have to.

Rather than me, you should thank Timothy or Suzanne.

That said, were you the one who jumped straight for him, aren't you?

That was really passionate.

Cut it out, Suzanne!

I'm indebted to you for the last time, so I was doing that to pay you back.

I hate being indebted to someone else.

Anyway, it's great that everyone can go back home safe and sound.

We got quite a lot too.

That was a great commission, wasn't it?

It might be really great if they weren't there.

Indeed.

So full of himself just because he's the strongest in the guild.

I hoped he just staying holed up in the labyrinth.

Is he really counted as the party leader?

Maybe the young Paul was like him?

Hey.

What?

I was a bit on edge back then in the cave.

So I'm going to say it again.

What happened in there, uh, was my fault.

But I still hate your face.

You always seem laughing foolishly.

I hate someone who doesn't stand up for a fight and is just being beaten up doing nothing.

There is a time when a man has to stand up and fight.

Ah, right. Sometimes I'm scolded the same thing by Suzanne.

I'll be careful from now on.

It's good if you understand.

Quagmire.

Yes?

It's fine for him,

but you're the worst.

What's wrong with you? Always caring what others think.

Your smile is disgusting.

Even if you think you're laughing, you're not inside.

That eyes of yours are looking down on others.

Who the hell do you think you are, huh?!

Hey, Sol. Just calm down.

Get off of me!

This guy thinks he's the most pitiable in the whole world!

I don't know what happened to him, but he's too pessimistic!

He's surely running away from something!

I really hate a brat who acts like this!

I'm sorry. I must be an eyesore to you.

I'll be careful to not appear in your sight in the future.

Don't mess with me!

What's with that attitude?

You're underestimating me!

Not taking the reward money, but keep asking them to spread your name.

What's wrong with you?

Everyone needs money in order to live!

Enough! You've been drinking too much.

Let me go, Konrad!

Oi, Quagmire! Are you having fun living your life?

If you don't have fun, just go die!

You're just an eyesore!

He's really the worst.

Aiming for leftovers again?

I have a reason for doing this.

What reasons?

You're just doing things half-heartedly.

Hello.

Rudeus.

Is there something wrong?

Mimir and Sara...

May I ask what happened?

They're dead.

Ah, I see.

No. Mimir aside, we just got separated from Sara.

If we search for her now, we can still-

If we go in this blizzard, we're just asking to be killed.

At least, we have to wait until the snow stops falling.

If only at the time I don't abandon them...

We also ultimately agreed to your decision and came back here.

We're guilty too.

By the way, where were you guys got separated?

At Trier Forest in the west.

Our vision got worsened due to the blizzard,

and we were attacked by a herd of snow buffaloes.

I see. That must be tough for you.

Well then, please excuse me.

What reasons?

You're just doing things half-heartedly.

Just what am I doing, really?

Am I doing this for my self-satisfaction?

How can I be satisfied?

That can be answered when I find Sara in my own way.

It doesn't matter if she's dead or alive.

For now, I just want an accomplishment.

Or perhaps, doesn't want to abandon others is the choice I came to.

Because I have been abandoned by Eris.

It might be as simple as that.

But what will I do if I find her?

I don't know.

What will come out of this, even?

What do I want to do?

I don't get it at all.

Mimir...

Where's Sara?

It's not like I'm particularly close with Sara.

But lately, she's been less hostile.

I think we could have a bit closer.

Sara!

Sara! Sara!

Sara! Sara!

Who is it?

It's me, Rudeus.

Rudeus?

I have come to save you.

Hey, isn't it fine already?

Ah, yes. Thank you.

Why are you thanking me?

Does your leg feel strange whatsoever?

It's alright.

It doesn't hurt anymore. Look.

I still get uncomfortable feeling about this.

Is there really nothing that feels weird?

I don't feel anything weird though.

What's weird is you're coming here on your own.

It's because I've heard from Timothy that the two of you are missing.

Is everyone okay?

Mimir is dead.

I see.

Well, let's go back.

Yeah.

Look...

I'm happy that you came here to save me.

It feels like everything up to that point is forgiven.

I have been saved.

It feels weird since she was supposed to be the one I saved.

Suzanne!

Sara! How can you get back?

We are just about to depart in our search for you.

Rudeus saved me.

Don't tell me you were immediately going after listening to our stories.

Well, yeah.

That was reckless! What if you die too?

Cut it out, Suzanne! You can't say that!

Ah, yeah. You're right.

I lost my composure a bit.

Firstly, I must say thanks for saving Sara, right?

Rudeus.

Thank you.

Thank you, really.

If it means I can ever repay this debt,

please ask anything of me to repay it.

No, it's not anything worth that far.

You already helped me so much.

That is my true feelings.

If you ask me, every member of Counter Arrow had been helping me with a bunch of things.

That's why, let us make it even.

I see.

That's also a fact, isn't it?

Well then, let's make it as looking forward to working with you.

Yes. Please do take care of me.

I'll be off then.

Yeah, let us send you off.

Rudeus.

See you again.

Please take it easy and rest for today.

There's been a lot of things happening, but let's rest for today.

For some reason, today I feel like I can sleep deeply in a long time.
