My name is Io Akos .
I came to the Adventurer Guild that I was affiliated today . josei
「Yes, I have accepted it . With this, Io-san’s B-Rank promotion procedures have been completed」
Right, I came for the adventurer rank promotion procedure today .
I was C-Rank for along time, but I was finally able to rise to B-Rank .
I received the certificate for B-Rank .
I want to let Kakeru-san see this .
「Io-chan, it’s been a while」
「You went up to B-Rank huh, congrats」
「Thank you very much」
「I’ve heard of your achievements recently . Orycuto Killer Io, it had become famous to some you know」
「I-I didn’t kill it you know」
I was a little embarrassed .
Orycuto Killer Io .
「And to you, I have something to request」
「A request, desu ka?」
「Yes, party invitation . Actually, I had accepted a big job, and I wanted a magician for the strategy」
I was a little troubled .
I am in a party with Kakeru-san right now . Entering another person’s party, I feel bad with Kakeru-san .
Carla-san held my hand .
「Only this time, ne」
In the town’s outskirts, we gathered with the party members Carla-san was with .
There was two men there .
One was carrying a large sword on his back, and the other had two long swords in his waist .
「I am Alexis, looking forward on you」
「I’m Harry」
Carla-san said that naturally .
Of course I know them . Alexis-san and Harry-san, was an A-Rank adventurer like Carla-san, and they were the ace-like adventurers in Roizen .
「E〜to, Io desu, Io Akos」
「I know you, you killed the Orycuto being sold recently right」
「That’s assuring . I’m looking forward」
「A dragon’s child had strayed nearby」
I was surprised .
Dragon . That was a legendary creature that even kids know about .
「It’s the child of that . In the information the witnesses and requester gave, it wasn’t that large」
「Was that so」
「But, even if it was a child, it’s still a dragon . That’s why, the request came to us A-Rank adventurers」
「That’s alright though . Very recently, you know that accident that a lot of undead monsters appeared right . The magician that was on our party had injuries during that and haven’t healed . And when I was thinking what should I do, that was the time I saw Io-chan」
「It was like that desu」
「And then, about how to fight it . You’re Orycuto Killer, so you’re good at lightning magic right」
「Yes」
A simple meeting . An orthodox strategy .
When that was decided, we departed from Roizen .
Along the roads, we walked south .
Harry-san said .
Footprints on the ground, and claw marks on trees and rocks .
Amid the increasing tension, we encountered the dragon .
It was a dragon with huge wings that was one size larger than the mountain cow that I often meet recently .
「Let’s go Harry!」
Alexis-san and Harry-san jumped out, and slashed at the dragon with large sword and twin swords .
I chanted magic .
「Ku! Harry!」
Harry-san covered, and Carla-san ran to Alexis-san .
「Attack boost also」
When Carla-san casted magic, Alexis-san’s large sword shone white .
And again, jumps towards the dragon .
Alexis-san and Harry-san was close combat, and I covered fire with magic .
If one of the two vanguards get injured, he falls back and after receiving Carla-san’s recovery, return again .
As expected of an A-Rank adventurer, Roizen’s ace, I thought .
While fighting, what I thought about was 「What would’ve happened if it was Kakeru-san」 .
The combination of Alexis-san and Harry-san is amazing . Large sword and twin swords, both power and speed complements each other, and covers their weakness .
But, both power and speed, Kakeru-san was higher .
Carla-san said beside me .
「Both of their skills are very good, and because they’re together for long years they have excellent combination too」
I think it was as Carla-san said .
I would have also……if it was half a month ago, I would’ve thought of it like that .
After the fierce battle, the dragon collapsed and stopped moving .
「Oi, aren’t I great」
「Yeah」
「Defeating a dragon with only one party, it’s the second time with this huh . Might get Dragon Slayer title some time soon」
Alexis-san and Harry-san heightened their tension while talking like that .
They defeated a dragon, so I could understand their feelings .
But, if it was Kakeru-san .
Even when he crushed the Orycuto into pieces, even the time when he defeated the Hell’s Emperor, even the time when he claimed a princess his own .
Even if he did something great, Kakeru-san had an 「It’s normal」-like face every time .
And when Kakeru-san was like that he was super cool .
Doing an amazing thing, and not being proud or modest with it, as if it was normal .
「Io-chan also, do your best」
「Yeah . For someone who just went up to B-Rank, you’re good」
「If it’s okay with you, you want to enter our party?」
「What do you think, Io-chan . I think that with our combination, we can go pretty well」
It was in front of Carla-san who had taken care of me, but I answered promptly .
