Chapter 363 Spear User: I accept this commission
"Yes, hurry up!"
Al Pacino, Adventurer's Guild.
It was afternoon, and there were only a few people in the Guild Hall.
One of them, wearing dirty leather armor and an iron helmet, stood under the quest board, looking up slightly at the quests displayed.
"Lately, I haven't seen any quests to clear Goblins."
Beside him, a young man said with a sigh.
The armored man didn't speak, just nodded silently.
"What do you say, should we take another quest? Like this serial killer quest."
The armored man was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
He finally spoke, "I'm going into the forest to search for Goblin caves."
The young man exclaimed, "You're going even without a quest?"
The armored man nodded.
"Mister Satō, aren't you coming?"
Priestess asked curiously.
"I told you, just call me by my name," the young man said with a smile.
"Huh? I'll still call you Mister Satō, calling you by your name is still a bit…"
Priestess said, after all, they had only known each other for a few days, and she wasn't quite used to being so familiar.
"Alright, alright, whatever you want," a hint of helplessness flashed in the young man's eyes, "Aren't we in the same party? Of course, I'm going."
The armored man nodded, turned to the counter, bought potions, and prepared for departure.
Priestess followed the armored man like a shadow, while the young man boredly scanned the quest board, looking for any interesting quests.
The young man was Hyuga Shiro, who had changed his name to Satō Shiro.
That night, after having a late-night snack with the receptionist, Shirley, he met Goblin Slayer the next day. For the past few days, he had been acting with him, killing Goblins.
Because they shared common goals, Goblin Slayer didn't refuse to let him follow. After several days of hunting Goblins, the agile Hyuga Shiro also gained Goblin Slayer's approval. The two, along with Priestess, whom Goblin Slayer had rescued a few days prior, formed a party. Recently, they often acted together, and by only accepting Goblin subjugation quests, they had gained a bit of fame.
At this moment, a conversation nearby caught Hyuga Shiro's attention.
"What? There are bandits near Al Pacino?"
He turned his head and saw the Spearman declare righteously, "I'll take this quest, leave it to me! I'll definitely bring your master's daughter back safe and sound!"
The butler bowed and scraped, looking around anxiously, afraid that the Spearman's loud voice would reveal the matter.
Hyuga Shiro, who was watching curiously from the side, was not noticed by the butler, who immediately became somewhat nervous.
He was afraid that Hyuga Shiro was an informant for the bandits outside the city.
For this, he even asked the Spearman if he knew Hyuga Shiro, who was watching them.
Brad looked in the direction the butler Bamon pointed, saw the young man, and said, "Don't worry, this young man isn't one of those bandits. He's a rising star who recently emerged from the Adventurer's Guild, and he's been promoted very quickly. Although his origins are unknown, he's been with Goblin Slayer lately, so he has nothing to do with bandits."
The Spearman's partner, the Witch, also glanced at Hyuga Shiro, exhaling a puff of smoke.
"Bamon, right? Is it okay if my partner comes along?"
After the butler learned from Brad that the young man's identity was not an issue, he breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing that his partner also wanted to go, he instinctively glanced at the extremely beautiful Witch beside him. He nodded and said, "Of course, no problem."
He wished that as many people as possible would go. Since they were the strongest duo in the borderlands, their strength must also be great.
This would also increase the probability of rescuing the young lady.
"If my partner goes too, isn't 200 gold coins…" He rubbed his fingers, "too little?"
Butler Bamon remembered his master's instructions before leaving and replied, "How about an additional 100 gold coins?"
"It's settled then," Brad said readily, "Do you know the exact location of those bandits?"
Bamon respectfully said, "Our manor's knights know. Please, two sirs, follow me back to the manor."
"No problem, lead the way."
Brad stood up, gripped his spear, twirled it gracefully, and rested it on his shoulder.
The Witch also stood up.
Bamon immediately respectfully led the way, taking the two away from the Adventurer's Guild.
Hyuga Shiro, with his sharp ears and clear eyes, heard their conversation.
When the old man asked the Spearman about him, he even found it a bit amusing.
He was so handsome, how could he be a bandit?
"300 gold coins, that's not a small amount."
Hyuga Shiro thought.
"Mister Satō, what are you looking at?"
Priestess appeared behind him at some point, and seeing Hyuga Shiro looking towards the door, she asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing,"
Hyuga Shiro withdrew his gaze, seeing Priestess and Goblin Slayer both by his side, and said, "Are you done?"
Goblin Slayer nodded. He had just purchased the missing potions and replenished other items from the receptionist.
"Let's go."
Goblin Slayer spoke sparingly.
The three immediately left. After exiting, Hyuga Shiro still saw the figures of the Spearman and the Witch at the end of the road.
"Bandits? How come I haven't seen any?"
Hyuga Shiro mumbled.
These days, they had been going in and out of the forest outside the city, searching for traces of Goblins. Not to mention bandits, they hadn't even seen a single herb gatherer.
After all, the threat of Goblins outside the city was too great; ordinary people would be doomed if they encountered Goblins. Therefore, very few herb gatherers ventured out alone here.
Soon, Hyuga Shiro forgot about this little interlude. They once again entered the forest, searching for Goblin caves.

Charlotte World.
"Shinichi, do you have everything? Did you forget anything?"
"There's nothing to bring. Just bringing myself is enough."
Fugaku casually slung his backpack on, ready to leave. Today was the day he reported to Hoshinoumi Academy. Yesterday, Hoshinoumi Academy called his home, and the transfer notification documents were also delivered shortly after the call.
Mizuno Haruka was even more nervous than her son, "Are you sure you don't need Mom to see you off?"
"No, no, I can go by myself."
Fugaku waved his hand and, under Mizuno Haruka's gaze, left the house.
Taking the train, Fugaku quickly arrived at the gate of Hoshinoumi Academy.
Takajo Jojiro was already waiting there for Fugaku's arrival. The moment he saw Fugaku, he smiled, waved, and walked over.
"You're very punctual, Mizuno-kun."
Takajo Jojiro said with a smile.
"It's alright. Let's go."
Fugaku felt that being late or on time didn't matter. After all, he wasn't really here to study. His time at Hoshinoumi Academy would mostly be spent in the Student Council meeting room, and on going out to deal with those special ability users.
