Where to go next?
Lancer was completely unfamiliar with this world. It wasn't like the first time where the situation was direct (hunter), nor was it like the second time where he directly met a guide (the big dog). Now that what he wanted to do seemed to be over, he was a little lost for a moment.
The most impressive force in this world to him was the 'Bracers', the force to which the male protagonist of Trails in the Sky belonged. But becoming a bracer was not simple. First, he needed to take a written test, but the problem was that Lancer had no household registration to sign up, nor did he know the so-called 'common sense'. He would almost certainly fail the test. What's more, even if he passed the test, he would only be a 'junior bracer'.
This option was directly ignored. As for being a jaeger, Lancer was a newcomer and had limited time. It was impossible for him to find good missions, after all, jaegers needed not only strength but also reputation and public perception to get missions.
So, setting those aside, what could he do now?
First, his main goal was to get an 'Orbment'. As for the quartz needed to use Orbment magic? As expected, this kind of consumable could be bought in a supply store.
The second goal was naturally to find a target to learn from or challenge, which he would just have to see.
'Let's hunt monsters.'
Lancer's sudden departure was not unexpected for Guy and Arios. He had appeared so abruptly, as if his purpose was just to kill, so it wasn't strange for him to disappear just as suddenly.
And they didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, they had been told before the operation started that some strange people might appear. In a way, it was a relief that the other party hadn't interfered with them. As for the report, they simply explained the situation to Sergey, and the other party complained, 'You guys must want me to write the report, right?' and sent them both back.
Although it was a complaint, the two of them knew very well that this was the special way of communication of this person who seemed like a good-natured person and was in fact a good-natured tsundere.
Arios went home directly to be with his wife and daughter, while Guy planned to go back to be with his younger brother.
Ever since his parents died in that 'airship accident', he had raised his brother alone.
"As expected, I should have a short vacation after this mission. How about I take Lloyd out to play with 'Cecile'?"
Thinking of his fiancée 'Cecile', Guy couldn't help but show a gentle smile.
His fiancée was undoubtedly a very gentle person. Generally, it was not easy for a man like him, whose parents had died and who was raising a younger brother, to find a girlfriend. But not only did the other party not mind, she even helped take care of his brother when he was busy, which made him feel incredibly grateful.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously quickened his pace.
Hunting monsters was not the first time for Lancer, but it was the first time that attacking a monster would cause it to constantly drop stones.
And he was very lucky, he didn't need to pick them up himself.
"Meow~ Meow~ Meow~"
Accompanied by a series of meows, Tiger and the others each carried a small pile of quartz and placed them in front of Lancer.
That's right, since an unknown time, the three powerful cats had changed their profession from combatants to 'professional pets'. But there was nothing they could do, after all, the three cats had their own principles——————not to fight with humans.
But they were first-rate experts at hunting monsters, even if the monsters they saw looked a bit strange.
"I didn't expect a guy that looks like a tomato to be a monster."
Looking at the material of the monster that looked like a tomato that Tiger had collected, Lancer couldn't help but complain. But then he was a little curious about tonight's dinner. Although it was an unfamiliar ingredient, Tiger's cooking skills were trustworthy.
As long as there were no exceptions, Lancer would do his most basic spear practice every day. Although these basic practices no longer improved him much, he himself was already used to this kind of practice. Those monsters with average strength naturally became the best targets.
And time always passed quickly during training. It was already noon when he left the base, and it was getting dark soon. And his 'weapon box' also had a large pile of sorted quartz.
But just as he was hugging Alu and helping Jack groom, the three cats suddenly raised their heads. Even Tiger, who was turning the grill, was staring at a certain spot.
There was no doubt that the three cats had discovered something, but Lancer didn't know what it was. The only thing he could do was to place his hand on the handle of the spear next to him, and then——————
"Sorry, I just smelled a nice scent..."
A blonde woman in silver-white armor walked out of the forest.
Her long golden hair, good-looking face, silver-white armor that was not luxurious but was clearly extraordinary, and a good figure that could not be hidden even by the armor, made people wonder if she was a rich lady who stole her family's decorative armor to play an adventure game.
But from the moment she appeared, the alarm bells in Lancer's heart kept ringing.
This person was definitely not an ordinary person! Definitely not!
"Passive skill: Danger Sense————Acquired"
"Effect: More easily detect dangerous people and items"
If he had suddenly acquired a skill in the past, Lancer would have jumped for joy, but at this moment, he couldn't be happy at all.
Because even before he acquired the skill, his intuition kept warning him. After acquiring the skill, the other person's entire body emitted an indescribable aura.
Arianrhod's mission itself had nothing to do with Reinhardt and Joshua, but because their operational areas overlapped to a certain extent, and because she cared for the young man whom she had taken care of but not officially accepted as a disciple, she decided to be a bodyguard for him once. But what she didn't expect was to meet an interesting young man.
Although he seemed similar to Reinhardt in that he was walking on the 'Asura's Path', and his own strength was not weak, he didn't seem to be pursuing 'reason'.
So she chose to observe him secretly. From his movements while hunting monsters, one could see that he was a person who was very good at hunting monsters, but he seemed not very familiar with the attributes and abilities of the monsters. The whole person was full of contradictions.
But no matter how strange the other person felt, she couldn't deny his strengths, especially when he was fighting with a long spear. The feeling that his whole person was integrated with the spear was incredibly wonderful.
And just as she was thinking about whether to go out and meet the other person, something even stranger happened. One of the three strange cat-like monsters actually started making food.
Having lived for so many years, she was considered to have 'seen a lot', but this was the first time she had seen a monster that could make food.
She decided to go out and meet the other person!
Of course, it was definitely not because the cat-like creature's barbecue smelled so good!
