After leaving the A rank party, I aim for the deep part of the labyrinth with my former students

Volume 1

Chapter 13-Lake Ordan Forest and Signs of Demon Beasts

(TL: By Rafael)

Lake Ordan Forest.

　

　It is a relatively large forest area located about a day's walk from Finis or about half a day by carriage.

　

　In the centre of the forest, there is a lake called Lake Ordan, and the source of its water is the Yomun Waterfall that exists upstream.

　

　The water in Yormun Falls is generated by a spring from a very old dungeon in its immediate vicinity, and it is said that there is a magical artifact in the depths of the dungeon that spits out water forever.

　

　Now, ...... aside from the rumours, it is certain that this spring water contains high-quality magical power, and as an alchemist, I have been visiting this place from time to time.

　

　The water itself is a material for alchemy, and the cobblestones requested for this project and the medicinal herbs that grow naturally in the area ...... are all important to Finis' life.

　

　If this situation continues, the supply of potions and medicines will soon start to slow down.

　

　It's a very good idea for the client to have a C-rank worthy request.

　

　...... I think the client is the adventurer's guild.

　

　

　As long as the adventurer's guild that acts as an intermediary knows who the client is, there is no problem.

　

　If information about who wants what from adventurers gets out, it could be detrimental to the client, and there are those who engage in rough negotiations about rewards.

　

　For this reason, many request forms do not include the client's name.

　

　However, if you've been an adventurer in Finis for a while, you can usually guess who the client is.

　

　This request is an investigation request disguised as a collection request, and it is also considered to be a defeat request with danger attached.

　

　This is a C-ranked request that takes this into account.

　

　

That's what I mean by  danger 

"....... So you'll have to brace yourself from here on out."(Yuki)

"I see. I see, but wouldn't it have been dangerous if there were other fledglings like us taking this on?"(Silk)

"I think that's why he gave it directly to me. I'm not sure what to make of that."(Yuki)

　

　If you've been an adventurer for a long time, you'll understand the personality of that youthful half-elf receptionist.

　

　

It's a kind of demon that smiles and throws a difficult task.

　What's more, it's a bad deal because it looks at the other person and throws it.

　

　However, he has a trustworthy eye backed up by experience.

　

　This time, they must be thinking that we can solve the problem.

"If you see any danger, leave immediately, okay?"(Yuki)

　

　As I turned on the Go pro-kun, I looked at the forest I was about to enter.

　

　As I had expected, there was a strange tingling sensation in the air and no sign of animals.

(...... Definitely, they're here.)

　

　Perhaps sensing my nervousness, Marina and the others look at the forest restlessly.

　

　Okay, that's good.

　

　It's not good to be too nervous, but as long as you're aware of the dangers of where you're going, I'll be there to support you.

"I'll be fine. I'll give you full reinforcement magic before we go in. Marina will lead the way, and I'll be in charge."(Yuki)

"It's the opposite of the dungeon, isn't it?"(Marina)

"There are no traps in the forest. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. It's better for me to be the one with the magic of the shadow alter, <Blink Shadow>."(Yuki)

　

　It's a kind of reinforcement magic, a magic that puts a substitute alter ego over you.

　

　With this, you can avoid the first hit at least even if you are ambushed.

　Unfortunately, it's a magic dedicated to "Red Mage" and can only be given to yourself.

"Isn't the Sensei  in danger then?"(Silk)

"What's this, I'm equipped with good armour. It's not so easy to get rid of."(Yuki)

　This set of red outfits, which is a bit flashy for me to wear, looks like this and is magical armour.

　Deep in the dungeon during the "Thunder Pike" dive it came out of the Treasure Chestchest.  It's a set of special equipment for "Red Mage" that I got from the store, and I wondered if I would sell it until the very end, and I got it with the same amount of gold coins as the selling price.

　It's a blessing in disguise that the Red Mage is an unpopular job, so the special equipment is sold cheaply.

"I'm sure you'll be happy to know that it was the Red Mage Armor Warlock Attire .......(Rain)

"Oh, how did you know that?"(Yuki)

"I've never seen one in such good condition."(Rain)

　

　Rain seems to know a lot about my adventuring gear.

　

　Yes, that's exactly what it is.

　

　The Red Mage Armor Warlock Attire in usable condition is hard to come by.

　

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　

　It's the job of blacksmiths and alchemists to make them usable.

"So you're saying it's okay to leave it to Yuki? ( Marina)

"Yes. That's what I meant. Do you have the route to the waterfall in mind?"(Yuki)

"That's the route you gave me in the carriage, right? Yes, I remember it!"(Marina)

"Okay, let's go. All right, let's go to ...... and start recording."(Yuki)

　

　I gave the order to Gopuro-kun and stepped into the forest.

　

　Marina carefully moves forward in the silence as if she were in a dungeon.

　

　I'm going to be the one who gives everyone the magic of the sound-reducing <Sneaking Move>.

　

　Actually , I can use <Hiddeninvisible> on everyone, But that is easy to lose effect  ith a little bit of excessive movement, and there is a risk of losing sight of each other.

　

　We walked upstream along the river for a while.

　

　The sound of the stream drowned out our footsteps, and the open space made it easy to swing our weapons in case of a fight.

　

　In spite of my feelings of "I hope nothing happens to us," ...... it suddenly appeared out of the forest.

TL Note- As you guys might have noticed the chapters disappeared yesterday well it was all because of a bug and it is fixed now and the next Chapter will have the long-awaited action.
