Semi-retired Adventurer Lives Leisurely

the Altohern Mountains, I am [luring out] the Upper-Tier Demonic Creatures to regions with less dangers and risks, and helping the Party gain valuable experience.
So as the [bait], I am taking on a role that is more dangerous than the rest.

 

Teo has the technical skills to perform this, but if she ever encounters a situation where she can’t get out of, between her and I, I would have the higher chance to survive, so I’m fishing out the Demonic Creatures for now.

 

I think I’m definitely getting paid more at this point, but if these guys start officially hunting Upper-Tiers on the Upper Regions of the Altohern Mountain, they’ll easily be able to regain their losses.

 

Teo: “But they really fell for that trap today.
The rope was expensive, but I’m glad we made the purchase.”

 

Henry: “Yeah, and the way you hid the rope was good too.”

 

It’s a rope that tripped up Giants.
Any ordinary rope would have been torn to shreds easily, so this one is specially made.

 

It’s an alloy between iron and Mithril.
It’s flexible, but still extremely tough, and because of that, the price is also equally high.

 

Teo: “I would like to try out other kinds of traps, but what should we use?”

Henry: “Hmmmm, well……”

 

I think about Teo’s question, but if we make the trap too sophisticated, the cost performance ratio instantly breaks down.

 

Ferris: “I don’t know much about traps, but what about trap holes?”

 

Henry: “The problem with those is the amount of energy it takes to dig one.
It’ll just be more efficient to use that energy directly against our enemies.”

 

Ferris: “I see.
That makes sense.”

 

Cyril: “I got it! Miss Cyril would like to try out bombs!”

 

Henry: “Too expensive.
Your request is denied.”

 

And like this, we all talk about our next strategy.
It’s a good atmosphere.
It’s actually rare for Party members to be able to freely discuss their ideas like this.
It’s very easy for hierarchy of strength to be established in this line of work.

 

For now, we couldn’t think of any new strategies, but as we continue with more and more expeditions, we’ll think of points to improve soon enough.

 

Cyril: “So when do we want to go again? We’re on a roll lately, so maybe just rest one day and go the day after?”

 

Henry: “Ohー, yeah, let me think.”

 

I try to think about our schedule.

 

Ummー with 3 women.
I think about their…….physical schedules.
I think it’s okay………I mean, it was really embarrassing having to ask about that.
But as far as making expedition plans, I had to ask just in case.

 

As I think about that time, Jend raises his hand.

 

Jend: “Ohー sorry.
I have plans the day after tomorrow.”

 

Henry: “Oh yeah? Then it’ll have to be another day.”

 

There’s no reason to hurry.
After getting everyone’s schedule together, we decided on going on our next expedition four days from now.

 

I sipped the coffee I ordered as we just talk about whatever.

 

Henry: “Jend, the day after tomorrow, you helping out with your family business or something?”

 

Jend: “Ohー no, no.
An acquaintance is coming back to Flowtier to visit.
He’s a senior of mine.”

 

Oh, Jend’s senior, huh.

 

Ferris: “Your senior, Jend?”

Jend: “Yeah, I call him Brother Ashley.
When he lived in Flowtier, he should have lived close to where Teo lives in that neighborhood.”

 

Teo: “Ashley………Ashley………now that you mention it, I think I met him.
He always carried around a large sword, and I remember him always laughing.”

 

Jend: “Yeah, yeah.
That’s the guy.
When he turned 14, he said he wanted to be an Adventurer and left Flowtier, and we haven’t heard from him up until now.
I just got a letter from him saying he’s coming to visit.”

 

………..sounds like a pretty free spirited guy.

 

Cyril: “Mr.
Ashley? I remember talking to him.
I don’t remember him that well though.”

 

Jend: “I don’t think you had much in common with him, Cyril.
Besides, it’s been 6 years since Brother Ashley left Flowtier.”

 

6 years…..sheesh.

 

Henry: “If he really hasn’t contacted you guys for that long, didn’t his family think he probably died somewhere?”

 

Jend: “No doubt.
I completely gave up on him until that letter came.
I bet his dad’s going to really give him a good lecture or two.
Brother Ashley’s never been good about keeping in touch with people.”

 

Yeah, I don’t think you can blame the family for getting mad.

 

Henry: “So he’s your senior of the Single Blade of the Fire God?”

 

Jend: “Yeah, Master Ricardo was first teaching Brother Ashley.
He was strong.
I think I would definitely be stronger than Brother Ashley when he was 14, but………..he seems to be pretty successful as an Adventurer, so I’m sure he’s quite strong by now.”

 

Huh…….well, if it’s Mr.
Ricardo’s disciple, I’m sure he’s quite the swordsman.

 

Jend: “Oh yeah, so his Party is taking a short break and coming down with him.
They’ll be here for about a week.”

 

Henry: “Adventurers from another town? Man, I want to talk to them.
Flowtier is too far out in the country, and I can’t seem to get good news here.”

 

Jend: “The country…..? Well, I guess you’re right but………”

 

Oh, don’t get me wrong.
I think Flowtier’s an amazing place to be.
But besides the Adventurers News that the Church publishes, I don’t get information about other Adventurers much.

 

Usually, other Adventurers from other towns would visit, and I would get information from them in the form of rumors……….but that’s for a normal town.
There’s not a whole lot of opportunities like that in Flowtier.

 

Jend: “Well, if it’s like that, I can talk to him.
I have a lot of questions for Brother Ashley too about his Adventurers.”

 

Henry: “Yeah, thanks.”

 

After that, we chatted some more about this and that.

 

And that day, we parted ways.
