They shouldn’t be excessively burdened with housework.
Erw and I had that kind of thoughts.
“Okay, I think we became familiar with fighting against monsters.” (Wendelin)
“Yea.” (Ina)
To begin with, Erw and Ina are easily recognized as adventurers possessing a superb strength if they are in other parties.
With us already being close the entrance of the monster domain, there shouldn’t be any necessity for us to hunt for the sake of getting used to combat.
“Why don’t we fight a bit farther in?” (Erwin)
“Still, I don’t think the monster types will change overly much though. ” (Wendelin)
It’s not like such things as monster types will change much unless you head very deep inside. If I had to say, the parts, that change a lot, are the regional differences and the place itself.
Also it was common sense that the monsters have been unified by a dragon type or such, who stands at the top of the food chain as boss of the domain. But it is rare to find that being.
If it was that easy to find and subjugate it, the monster domain should have been completely destroyed long ago.
“Most of those in the adventurer business start with this domain.” (Ina)
With it now being close-by, you usually won’t discover something like a new historic ruin or a new labyrinth.
If you want to discover such things, you have to travel far. Without true strength it is difficult to set out on an exploration at such distant place even if you discover it.
Since you will be far away from human habitations, it will be hard for amateurs as the dangers of combat and camping will increase.
“Yo, isn’t it the boy’s group?” (Burkhart)
When I turned my head because of being abruptly called from the back, Burkhart-san stood there floating a great smile.
Formerly he was a remarkable adventurer. Now he is employed as magician by Margrave Breithilde.
It seems the latter had great hardships, but I couldn’t do nothing but just having a bad premonition seeing that current smile.
Probably he was waiting for us with a request from Margrave Breithilde.
“On the topic of dinner, you have been invited to be treated in Margrave Breithilde’s mansion.” (Burkhart)
“I have a bad premonition.” (Wendelin)
“Don’t say that. Isn’t my master the boy’s patron?” (Burkhart)
“Do you really think that, Burkhart-san?” (Elise)
“…” (Burkhart)
While seeing Burkhart-san’s face becoming stiff, we ended up imagining just how difficult it is to serve at the court from the bottom of our hearts.
◆◇◆◇◆
“Your reputation is superb although you are still young. Even I, as your patron consider myself to be proud of you.” (Breithilde)
Guided to Margrave Breithilde’s mansion by the partly overbearing Burkhart-san, we were treated to cooking indulged in luxury.
Margrave Breithilde is even recommending dishes in a good mood to my fiancée, Elise.
Though I guess there are also various things he thinks about within his mind, I also don’t think that he will imprudently make an enemy of the granddaughter of a big-shot of the church.
At least it doesn’t seem like he will treat her coldly.
He offered dishes to her while smiling.
“Dragons, golems, and various monsters, there doesn’t seem to be anything giving you a hard time.” (Breithilde)
“For the moment…” (Wendelin)
No, in fact there were very many hard fights.
Or more precisely, they were to the degree of being close to dying.
We felt that we didn’t want to ever again encounter such extreme situations.
“If you can defeat a dragon, aren’t the other monsters almost easy?” (Breithilde)
“It depends on the conditions.” (Wendelin)
