267 265 Argentrapan (2/2)

”As you can see from this place, the Scorpion Lion Forest is getting very narrow. If you're here, you can pull it out in roughly a day. It's called a way out among adventurers.”

”I see. I heard there's going to be a manticore. What's the encounter rate?

”About one in 100 pairs.”

”To that extent?

”For Manticore, adventurers are hard to say good prey”

If you're a weak adventurer for Manticore, you're a prey for outfits, but if you run into a strong adventurer, sometimes you eat a handached tail the other way around. Given that risk, it would be safer to be preying on other warcraft by adults.

Still, it seemed that many inexperienced young individuals and weak manticoas were chased for territory by other manticoas.

”I don't think we're going to get lost because there's a way to get out of here.”

After going through the Scorpion Lion Forest, they have a town called Rose Raccoon. It's a big town full of adventurers taking advantage of the loophole, just like Argentrapan.

”And I don't think it would be a problem for one of you if you were Fran, but we're recruiting party members there”

”Recruiting members?

”Yes, even if you lack the strength, if you have a number, you will be less dangerous.”

We can all fight even if our opponents are strong, and if we meet a powerful opponent that won't be a battle, there is an increased chance that we can escape while others are sacrificing.

For that reason, it seemed natural for solos and small numbers of adventurers to organize temporary parties in town.

We don't need it, though. I mean, it's definitely gonna be a foot job.

”Hi, hello”

”Hmm? Hello?

”You're going through the Scorpion Lion Forest, aren't you? If you'd like, could you accompany us to our party? This is still a Rank E party. It's not gonna be a foot job.”

It was a reasonably handsome human adventurer who came in solidarity with Fran, who was about to leave the guild.

Even so, it's a little frigid. How can an adventurer of Rank E, who is not an Orc, expect Fran's strength?

”Why did you speak to me?

”Well, everyone's paying attention, and I heard you say rank C earlier.”

”Do you believe that?

”Mm-hmm. Because beastmen are better in stature than humans, and a lot of people are more combative. The other day, I just met a girl with a tough mess. So, even at your age, I think it's possible to be strong, right?

”I see.”

I'm sorry I doubted you. He normally just wanted to accompany Fran. However, because the departure was said to be the day after tomorrow, I decided to decline this time. I just don't want to waste two days.

Besides, the worst Fran can do is ride the Ursi, and if I fly away on my own, I'll be able to pass over the woods. I'm afraid I'm using too much magic when I think about what's ahead, so I'd like to go as far on foot as I can. Well, it's your wife's hand. That's when the entourage just gets out of the way.

”Well, let's go.”

”Mmm.”

We thank your sister and leave the guild.

”It's only morning, and let's keep going out of this”

”Manticore, do you want to leave?

'Don't say it in the eyes of expectation. Because it looks like a flag!

”Fun”
