The rumored S rank Hunter made everyone see the figure of a young woman? Some whispered and some didn't believe that the Guild cards that were dealt were real but one of the Hunters snapped that they were real because Guild cards couldn't be faked. A Guild Master descended the stairs, a middle-aged man with black hair with a thick mustache that was starting to turn white approached Ayu. The Guild Master named Maruc has received word from Anox that later rank S will meet you, she is still young who looks sweet and innocent, but very strong. Maruc invites Ayu and three of She's friends to go up to the second floor. The Guild Master's personal maid made tea while talking about the mission of the Orc village.
"Orc Village is located in the middle of the Nili forest, I believe you and your friends can complete this mission."
"Thank you for your assessment, I just wanted to say if I could accept a more difficult mission," Ayu said surprising everyone.
"Oh little girl, you are too confident, if you can complete this task then I promise you a very satisfying mission."
"I will finish it as soon as possible."
Hiro was surprised because Ayu's attitude suddenly changed. She, who always smiled, was now gloomy after the incident, maybe because Ayu thought about murder and sudden trouble? Hiro tried to calm down, most importantly he had to help Ayu as best he could. The Guild Master smiled with satisfaction because the young woman in front of him was staring steadily, it could be seen from the look in her eyes that showed the determination of a Hunter.
The four of them then traveled to the Nili forest, taking 3 hours in a merchant's horse-drawn carriage. One person paying 10 bronze coins was quite cheap especially for a Hunter, if an ordinary person had to pay up to 25 bronze. At 12 noon, they were already in the Nili forest. Hiro, who stretched out his hand when Ayu was about to get off, suddenly Zenku grabbed Ayu's hand. "Oh, my goddess, I will help you!" The red-haired woman named Argeta just smiled when she saw Hiro was angry.
As soon as the four of them entered the forest within 100 meters, 10 orcs were immediately visible from 50 meters away. Ayu quickly stepped forward followed by the others. "Dark Knight, Tryon!" Zenku was shocked when Ayu summoned the Dark Knight. Zenku felt a strong dark aura envelop the summoned being. "Grrooaaahhh!" Dark Knight Tryon, he was two and a half meters tall, resembled a Knight in black armor but, he's body was made of shadows with red eyes blazing like fire.
Ayu just stared straight ahead to see the Dark Knight who was summoned to slaughter the 10 Orcs without hesitation. The two meter long sword slashed at the orc's body like tofu. Fresh blood soaked the ground and grass. Ayu didn't seem nervous, she suddenly turned back.
"We must quickly complete our mission!"
"Ready!" said Hiro.
"Ready, but don't be selfish anymore," said Argeta.
"Re-ready," Zenku said nervously.
Ayu gives a chance, Hiro, Argeta and Zenku fight the orcs. Hiro wielded a one-handed sword, Zenku a short sword with two hands, they were both very agile against the orcs. Argeta with gravity-type black magic that suppresses the orcs and exerts pressure on the orcs until they crumble. Hiro started to feel tired, he looked at Ayu who was still calm and didn't even look sweaty at all. Hiro wants to laugh at himself, they are both very different, how can he protect Ayu whom he loves in the future, if he is still weak like this?
"Hiro, behind you!" Ayu screamed when Hiro was hit by an orc, and hit a tree. He acted foolishly to prove that he was strong even though he was easily defeated by the orcs. "Argeta, Zenku, you two retreat the rest I'll take care of! Skeleton Warriors!" The Skeleton Warriors were at level 50 when in the game, and their level cap was only up to half the user's level, Ayu believed that their level remained the same.
"Haah, fortunately there is Ayu," Zenku muttered.
"That's how it is, if only I could bring out all my strength."
"You mean?"
"Mm, I was just talking."
"Hah?"
Zenku doesn't understand Argeta's ambiguous remark. Zenku turned to Ayu who was helping Hiro to get up. Dark Knight and Skeleton Knight, guarding their surroundings if an Orc approached the two of them immediately slashed at the Orc. Zenku gave a healing potion to Hiro. Ayu regained her composure when Hiro looked better. Zenku can clearly see that Ayu really loves Hiro. Zenku thought, 'too bad Ayu loves Hiro, even though Hiro looks ordinary and weak, he doesn't understand why Ayu can like Hiro.'
"Let your lover rest first, Ayu."
"My lover? What do you mean by lover? We are not lovers."
"Ah, I thought you two were lovers."
"We are lovers," said Hiro.
"Huh, don't lie..."
Zenku looked pleased as he dissected the orcs to retrieve the magic crystal. Hiro looked at Ayu annoyed at not being recognized as a couple. Ayu was surprised by Hiro's attitude which showed a sullen face for no apparent reason. Ayu just gave a smile so that Hiro smiled too, but it had no effect.
"You should have said we were a couple." Hiro got up, he looked very annoyed and left Ayu who could only see Hiro go. Argeta approaches Ayu who looks confused because she doesn't understand why Hiro looks angry. Argeta approached Hiro and pulled Hiro into the forest behind the trees, Argeta glared at Hiro.
"Why are you angry like that, you forgot that Ayu was still a little girl?"
"I didn't forget," said Hiro.
"Then why are you angry?"
"I'm just annoyed."
"Stupid, you shouldn't show your anger to Yuu, look at that girl sad because of what you said."
"..."
"Yuu does look like a teenage girl but you have to remember that she's actually just a 12 year old little girl or even younger."
"I understand, I was wrong later I will apologize to Ayu."
"And also we have to take care of Ayu, she's just a little girl who doesn't know about adults, I'm worried about the new member, she doesn't know what Yuu is like."
"I agree with you, we have to take care of Ayu."
Hiro realizes his mistake he is really too stupid and gets carried away, he should think more focused on staying mature because after all Ayu is just a little girl who doesn't know anything about love.
"Are you able to think straight now?"
"Okay, thanks Argeta, you helped me realize my stupidity."
"You're welcome, you also study better for Yuu in the future."
"Ready! I will definitely study better!"
