After completing registration Aika chose 3 missions, one for goblins and another for giant boars and the last was a survey of a forest near a village where voices can be heard at night.
- Are you sure you will get 3 Rank F missions ?, I recommend starting with Rank E missions, how to collect grass and help in the city!
- We are strong enough to exterminate the monsters, to do Rank E missions is a waste of time!
Saying these words the 3 left the guild while Mike and the other 2 followed behind, soon they will exit through the gate and head for the forest.
- See when you enter you are on an extermination mission should--.
- We know don't worry!
Sophia said while looking at the forest and tracking down a possible goblin location, soon they found a group of 5 goblins moving in search of something to eat, Aika pulled her bow while Sophia her rifle.
- See to use a bow correctly you have to ---.
Swooish!
Aika did not let Laura finish speaking and shot her arrow hitting the head of the first goblin, Sophia shot the other 3 and Aika hit the last one who tried to escape.
Laura after seeing Aika's performance stepped back and joined Mike who was looking down with a sad expression.
- What do we need to do to confirm the monster's death?
- You usually get evidence of your death as a body part!
- So as long as it proves that you killed it is not a problem?
- Well, that is correct but depending on the monster you will be placed under a spell of truth!
Aika nodded in understanding and motioned with her hand.
- Reir take a photo of the bodies.
- Understood!
The ghost approached the bodies and started to photograph after finishing it he returned to Aika's side.
- Let's go!
- Eh, won't you get evidence?
- We got it!
The group then followed the journey through the forest, leaving the black gold group frustrated by not being able to help or give tips.
----------------------
3 days later.
- That was the last one!
A goblin fell to the ground with his head crushed by Suyen's hammer.
- Let's see we are in this area of the forest, the village we need to investigate is a 4 hour walk from our position!
- Let's take a 40-minute break and then we leave!
Saying this the girls opened their backpacks and took out some pots and ingredients and started cooking, Aika put some seasoning in the soup and started stirring in addition to adding some ingredients from time to time.
"Is it just me or does the little girl cook better than Laura?"
Pow!
Laura punched Mike for that comment, however Lucas still continued.
- I think you should learn some tricks from her Laura!
A vein burst in her head.
- So don't ask me to cook next time, I hope you have a nice frozen meal, Hump!
Mike and Lucas will be in despair for a moment but will stop when they smell the food.
- And it's ready!
Aika served the soup to everyone and soon they started to eat, the food was delicious, it still wasn't worthy of a first-rate chef but great compared to ordinary cooks.
- That broth is wonderful!
- How vegetables can taste so good!
- Hehehe!
The group ate well and rested before leaving for the village, after several hours of walking they managed to see a small village with some plantations on the horizon.
The guard at the watchtower also saw them and sent a message to the village chief, when they arrived at the village the village chief and some residents were already there to welcome them.
- Welcome to our village, I am the head of the village my name is Fríts!
- Nice to meet you, I'm Aika, I accepted the investigation mission in your village. Could you explain the details to me?
-Are you the one who accepted the request?
Fríts was a little surprised by this information he imagined that it was the 3 adventurers behind the little girls who accepted the request, when he looked at Mike the last one just made a sign with his hand that he would not interfere.
Some residents started whispering but did not speak very loudly, Fríts also wanted to ask if Aika could really do the mission but decided to just follow her role and give them information.
- Well the problem is that there have been noises coming from the forest like the cry of a girl, and this has been happening for several days and we don't know what to do!
- Well we will take a look at the forest to see if something is wrong, if we don't find anything for now we will wait for the noises before looking again!
The group did not even enter the village and went towards the forest, normally an adventurer would first meet the client and prepare accommodations before going to the research area but Aika was not too concerned with accommodation she simply wanted to complete this mission soon to return to the city and get promoted.
Rustle! Rustle!
- Mister ghost, please show up!
Sophia was looking for something on the ground, Suyen was opening the bushes and shouting for the ghost to appear, and Aika climbed a tree and started looking for something.
They spent a few hours like that until the day was starting to get dark.
- We must go back and start tomorrow again!
- All right!
Aika slipped and came down from a tree she was in, but in the decision she saw a blue glow in the distance.
- I saw something!
Bow! Fush!
Falling to the ground Aika shot quickly towards the forest leaving her companions behind.
- Wait Aika come back here!
Mike shouted but Aika was already too far ahead and did not hear right, just after a few meters she started to hear a cry coming ahead and she accelerated her step!
- Where is it, where is it?
As she progressed, the crying got a little louder, but it wasn't strong, it was really low and a normal person would have difficulty listening.
Bow!
Aika put pressure on her legs and jumped towards a tree and started using them on a trampoline to climb a little higher, she after climbing a few meters can see a blue glow hidden inside a tree with a flock of 8 wolves in around the tree.
Sing!
She drew her sword and swung towards the wolf that was in front of the snarling tree.
Whoosh!
- Wainn!
The wolf cried in pain when his neck was severed, Aika slid a little before stopping in front of the tree and getting into position against the wolves.
- Arrrrr!
The wolves seeing their dead companion started to snarl at Aika and circle around her, but she just narrowed her eyes and entered a defensive posture.
(Bark)
The two wolves at the front ran towards her.
Clank!
Aika blocked the first wolf's claw with her sword and kicked the second.
Pow!
And before the first one could retreat she made a cut on his stomach making him cry in pain.
- Arf!
The wolf who took the cut took his last breath and fell to the ground, the remaining six wolves analyzed the situation and decided to retreat because even if they managed to kill Aika it would not be worth the loss of more wolves.
- Ufa!
Aika sighed before turning to look at the hole in the tree where there was a blue light.
- What is it?
Looking closer it looked like a very small Loli with butterfly wings, she wore a blue dress and was huddled in a corner crying.
- Don't cry little one!
Aika used her finger to caress her head, the little fairy opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Aika outside.
- Calm down, I'm a friend!
- Shua, shua?
- I don't know what that means but if you are a friend then yes!
- Shuaaa !!!
The fairy was glad and started to circulate Aika's hand.
- Hehehe, nice to meet you too Shua!
- Shuarr!
