Chapter 31: Perspective of the Hero, Grathias
"Grathias, why were we lectured?! It's the first time, being scolded by the Guild Master. We've become a laughingstock in the guild!"
"I didn't want to become a laughingstock either. It's the fault of that monster Behemoth! It's the Guild Master's fault for suddenly assigning me to subdue such a rare monster. And on top of that, with just the hero party. It's impossible!"
After retreating from the battle with Behemoth and returning to the guild, Grathias received a thorough scolding from the Guild Master.
"Give me a break! They're putting all the blame on me!"
It's obviously impossible. If I had the swordsmanship that my hero boasts of, I might have been able to fight against Behemoth. But sword attacks are completely ineffective!
There's no way to win.
After being scolded by the guild, I left and went to the inn.
I don't know what happened to Behemoth afterward.
"What happened to Behemoth?"
From what I've heard, by chance, Behemoth left near the capital and went in a different direction. It seems it was confirmed that it went deep into the forest. Well, that's a relief.
If Behemoth is in the forest, it's safe for now. There won't be any harm to people.
"But you know, our escape has become widely known. We won't be able to run away next time. We'll be laughed at for running away again and be judged as disqualified heroes."
Misha says that, but aren't you a magician too? Aren't you blaming it all on me? It's cowardly to put all the blame on me.
"It's because your swordsmanship is completely ineffective."
Hey, Phinell, don't blame me.
"But your swordsmanship didn't work at all. It didn't even leave a scratch or cause any bleeding. Misha only has attack magic. Tell me the reason."
Phinell wants me to explain the reason why my swordsmanship is bad.
The current situation is that there's no clear reason.
There's a possibility that, by chance, Behemoth had a bad compatibility with my swordsmanship. If that's the case, then it can be explained, and it's not my fault.
Misha will have to do her best. Because there's always compatibility between monsters and adventurers.
Misha and Phinell should understand that.
