Chapter 34: The Perspective of Hero Grathias
I headed towards the vicinity where the capital appeared.
I was planning to meet up with the party for cooperation.
"Nice to meet you, Grathias. I'm Falmeida from the Oniryu Squad!"
"Pleasure to meet you."
They greeted me respectfully. It's the party I heard about, the Oniryu Squad.
They have several members, so they must have some abilities.
And there was another party.
"Nice to meet you, Grathias. I'm Darenmur from the Inazuma Squad. It feels like a dream to be able to act together with the hero party!"
"It's not a dream, it's reality. Fight with all your might, Darenmur!"
"Yes!"
The Inazuma Squad is also B-rank. Darenmur is a capable adventurer with a good reputation.
I can't say I have no concerns, but it's better than having no one.
Besides, there's a Centaur as well, and Centaurs are strong monsters that can rival Behemoths.
With the cooperation of my party, it seems we can finally defeat such monsters.
Misha and Fiinel introduced themselves after me and hurried towards the location of the monsters.
They looked at me with eyes full of admiration, as if they had met a hero themselves.
But now is not the time for admiration, so I conveyed that to them.
I don't know if they know that we lost to the Behemoth last time.
"There's something I need to tell you first. Our hero party fought against the Behemoth the other day. We were at a disadvantage and had to retreat. I don't know if you knew that."
"Yes, we heard it from Guild Master Tap. Anyway, we heard that the Behemoth is strong. Even hero parties can lose. So, we're nervous."
"We heard the same thing. The Behemoth is said to be stronger than even hero parties. It was shocking to hear that you ran away. After all, hero parties are the admired figures among adventurers, so we don't want to hear that they run away."
It seems Tap told them about it.
They respect us, but it seems they were shocked that we ran away.
That's understandable. I can't believe it myself.
So, I needed to correct them.
We continued outside the capital.
"Grathias, I found them. One Behemoth and one Centaur."
"Thank you, Misha."
I also confirmed it.
One Behemoth and one Centaur.
I remember that enormous monster, the Behemoth.
The Behemoth is a giant monster, while the Centaur isn't that large.
It has four legs and has the appearance of a horse's lower body and a human's upper body.
It also had a bow and arrows.
"Listen up, members of the Oniryu Squad and the Inazuma Squad. The Behemoth is S-rank, and the Centaur is A-rank. Have you ever fought against them?"
This is very important.
There's a difference between having experience and not having it.
I need to hear their answer.
