Louise and her group led Billy and the others to the back of a certain tavern as if they knew the best roads to use at night without being found. Although it was past midnight, the place was still working, even though not many people were there. At least, that is what Billy assumed, considering the amount of noise he could hear. "Some of our friends work here, and they will offer us shelter and help with that task of yours," Louise said. "Stay here, and I am going to explain things to them." The back…

"This is bad… I knew that something this troublesome was bound to happen when I heard of that operation," Anna said. "We need to find something and prove our innocence." Billy wondered if just writing what he just heard and sending it to Pierre or Jean would be enough to gain their trust. It would be a lot less troublesome if they could confirm that they were on their side before acting. The story seemed too convenient for them… from some people's perspectives, telling them that an ally in their…

"What did you realize now?" Anna asked. "We were being watched… by spies, most likely," Billy replied. "I misjudged their gaze with the normal people… that is why I never found them. In any case, the spies informed each other about us and then they informed a big shot that has ties with the Toles state… that is my guess." It was a pretty complex guess, but Anna realized that Billy had a point. She wondered how come he came to that conclusion… it was because he had read many comics in his…

The guards grabbed their weapons, but Billy created several Fireballs above them before they could even finish that move. It wasn't so bad for a first try since they were the size of their own heads. Billy thought of training that when he saw Kate manipulating two knives with wind magic, but he never had the chance to try it. Regardless, the enemies couldn't move since they didn't understand what was going on. They had heard of magic, but they never had seen it… "Well, now… I know that all this is…

The group of healers crossed many towns over the next few weeks. Gathering knowledge and herbs about the ones they didn't know. In all those towns, the healers didn't seem satisfied, just like on the first one in giving those, even though they were being paid. Billy also didn't stop feeling that something was amiss… at first. He thought that it was due to the mission. He couldn't do anything aside from waiting, after all, but after feeling that for so long, he realized that it wasn't because of that.…

Billy frowned when he saw a carriage waiting for them on the exit of the town. It seemed that Edward had bought that for that kind of occasion. The driver was just a random citizen of their town, so Billy and Sarah will have to protect him too. It was part of the work... "This looks quite luxurious," Anna said. "All the carriages I used are like this…" Billy said. "Maybe Jean really wants to befriend our people. I find it hard to imagine all the carriages being like this." "What kind of person…

In any case, the group spent most of the time training in what they were lacking in the next few weeks. The battle against the guardian taught them several things that they needed to correct… the whole experience in the dungeon actually did that. Considering that they wanted to clear other dungeons, it was only natural that they would need to improve. Still, before that could happen, they had to receive their weapons from John. Bracers of the Dark Bruiser Strength + 40 Endurance + 40 Effect:…

"Oh? Is that the kid who is always asking for discounts… it seems you have brought quite the group and…" John said and then stopped when he saw the black steel. "... What is this?" "Something we got from a monster," Billy replied. "Those materials are relatively rare, since the monster only appears once per week. Anyway, we want some weapons out of them." "I heard that a group went to challenge a dungeon from our neighbors, but I didn't think it was you people…" John said and then checked the…

"You guys have potential," Gerald said when the group passed by the guild to say their farewells. "You should try to clear the other dungeons. I am sure it will be an interesting experience." "Maybe in the near future," Billy said. "Thank you for your help." The others bowed slightly and Gerald nodded. When he first saw them, he thought that they were just a bunch of runts, but he was wrong. It seemed that his instincts were getting dull… back in the day, Gerald was able to see those that had…

"If the core really has a conscience, then it makes sense that we weren't attacked, still, why didn't other monsters spawn to help the guardian?" Billy wondered while they were climbing the stairs. While he was thinking about such things, Billy and the others found quite the crowd waiting for them outside. He didn't hear anything regarding that they shouldn't clear the dungeon, so that was off. A good number of the people were the Adventurers that had been inside the dungeon… maybe they were made…
