“Ei!” (Arc)
“Toh!” (Iris)
“Bumoooo!?” (Boar)
When Arc and Iris landed their kicks, a gigantic boar over three meters in length was blown away. The boar, which finally came to a stop after knocking down several trees, was completely limp, and Leon approached and stabbed its neck with a knife, taking its life. Immediately after, he also proceeded to dismantle it.
“The meat of a Power Boar is surprisingly tender and delicious.” (Leon)
Imagining the meat sizzling and dripping with juices, the twins drooled together in unison.
After finishing the dismantling, Leon set aside only the portion to be used for cooking now, and threw the rest into his item box. Since almost no time passed inside the item box, it was possible to preserve the freshness for a long time by storing it there.
In exchange, he took out a flat stone. After heating it over a fire, he began grilling the Power Boar meat together with wild vegetables and mushrooms using oil extracted from olives.
“It is delicious!” (Arc/Iris)
The twins stuffed their cheeks with meat, their eyes sparkling. Beside them, Sura was absorbing the Power Boar bones into her body.
“It is delicious~” (Sura)
She trembled as she said this. Although slimes could eat anything, they did not possess a sense of taste. She was likely just saying it for the mood.
After finishing the combined break and meal, Leon stood up.
“Well then, we should be close to Sedria by now.” (Leon)
Currently, Leon and the others were in the mountains located to the north-northwest from the city of Libert. Beyond these mountains, there should be a city called Sedria.
—
In the middle of the night, the city of Libert was attacked by a swarm of vampires.
The townspeople, who had heard tales of the tragedy a hundred years ago, were terrified upon learning the fact when morning came. However, they immediately felt relief upon discovering that the vampires had already been defeated.
“It must have been the Hero-sama!” (Citizen)
“The Hero-sama saved us!” (Citizen)
Some of the fanatical believers of the Hero Leon rejoiced and cried out in loud voices.
In truth, that was indeed the reality… however, the Hero had died a hundred years ago, and there should be no way he was still alive in this era. The more level-headed people began discussing among themselves, wondering who had defeated the vampires.
“It must have been Henriette-sama.” (Citizen)
“I think so too.” (Citizen)
“After all, she is the only A-rank adventurer in this city.” (Citizen)
Naturally, Henriette herself denied it.
“It was not me. It was Leon-kun who defeated the vampires. Among them was even a Vampire Lord. I challenged it as well, but I could not lay a hand or foot on it, and he saved me.” (Henriette)
She thus spoke about the truth she had witnessed with her own eyes—however,
“No, I did not do anything.” (Leon)
“Leon-kun!?” (Henriette)
“Rather, I saw Henriette-oneechan and the others defeat the Vampire Lord.” (Leon)
Leon thought to himself. If it became widely known that he had defeated a Vampire Lord, it would surely cause all kinds of troublesome matters.
Fortunately, among those present at the scene were Henriette and others, who were famous in this city as A-rank adventurers. If it was claimed that they had defeated the Vampire Lord, most people would likely believe it.
“I think that because of the Vampire Lord’s mental manipulation, everyone’s memories are a little unclear. But even while being mentally manipulated, they resisted and defeated the Lord.” (Leon)
Leon told a plausible-sounding lie and pushed the credit onto Henriette. As expected, people gradually came to believe that as the truth.
“Well then, time to make a quick getaway.” (Leon)
Before confirming that, Leon had already left the city.
—
Thus now, Leon was running through the mountains toward the next city. Most travelers would avoid the dangerous mountain path where monsters appeared, but for Leon, who was unfazed, this was the shortest route.
Although the path was harsh, filled with rocky areas and cliffs, Arc and Iris were firmly keeping up with their small bodies. This was thanks to the significant increase in their statuses.
Arc
Species: Catkin
Species Level: 34
Strength: S, Endurance: S, Dexterity: S, Agility: SS, Magic Power: S, Luck: S
Condition: Leon’s contracted beast
Iris
Species: Catkin
Species Level: 34
Strength: S, Endurance: S, Dexterity: S, Agility: SS, Magic Power: S, Luck: S
Condition: Leon’s contracted beast
Even monsters that occasionally appeared were defeated in a single blow when faced by the two of them. Even now, a Blood Grizzly, many times larger than they were, was easily sent flying through the air.
Just with a little instruction from Leon, they had, before anyone knew it, become capable of executing proper striking techniques. Beastkin originally possessed higher physical ability than humans, and also had excellent motor skills.
Since then, with Leon’s guidance, the two had become capable of performing solid striking techniques. Even though they had not acquired any jobs, they had become able to use martial arts skills at a high level.
Unfortunately, because they were beastkin, the two of them could not acquire jobs in the first place. This was because the blessings known as “jobs” were granted by the gods of humans. However, on the other hand, they possessed strengths such as their physical abilities being easier to improve with level-ups, and their innate ability to learn certain skills more easily. Furthermore, it was said that beastkin, like monsters, could undergo evolution.
Sura, who had previously completed her evolution ahead of time, had also increased her status even further since then.
Sura
Species: Red Slime
Species Level: 18
Strength: S, Endurance: SS, Dexterity: S, Agility: S, Magic Power: S, Luck: S
Condition: Leon’s contracted beast
Still, could it be that she has gotten a little heavier recently because she has been eating so much? …No, that must just be my imagination.
Leon felt like the weight on top of his head was gradually increasing, but judging by appearance, her volume had not changed at all. He concluded that it was probably just his imagination. However, in reality, her density had increased significantly, and she had indeed become much heavier than before. It was because Leon’s own status had increased, he had not immediately noticed the change.
Leon
Species: Human
Species Level: 63
Jobs:
[Swordmaster] Level 20
[Grand Wizard] Level 20
[Saint] Level 20
[King Thief] Level 20
[High Tamer] Level 1
Strength: SSS, Endurance: SSS, Dexterity: SSS, Agility: SSS, Magic Power: SSS, Luck: SSS
Since his Class I job [Tamer] had reached Level 20, Leon had newly acquired the Class II upper job [High Tamer].
