「Nice to meet you, I’m Delica! I promise I won’t drag everyone downー No, I promise I’ll be useful!」(Delica)

Delica lowered her head as she introduced herself, and then I hurriedly did the same.

「I’m Mark.
I use magic, so I’ll be doing it alone somewhere so as not to get in others’ way.」(Mark)

「Wait, what? Do you want to fight Tentacles alone!? That’s too reckless!」(the boss)

When the boss was surprised, the surrounding men began to make a fuss.

「That’s too dangerous for a kid.」
「Looks like he doesn’t know what it’s like to fight Tentacles.」
「He’s smaller than my child but he has guts!」
「But, isn’t it better if we stop him?」(fishermen)

It looks like most of the men disagreed if I fight alone.

Well, I think that’s natural.
After all, I’m just an eight years old kid.

When I was thinking about what to say to the men, Celine stepped forward.

「Um, guys, please calm down.
He is alright.
He might look so young but he is very strong.
I’m a C rank adventurer, I’ll take the responsibility if anything happens to this boy.」(Celine)

「You’re a C rank adventurer!?」(the boss)

Celine nodded to the boss and took out her guild card from her cleavage.

The men’s gaze was nailed to Celine’s chest for a moment, but then they hurriedly turned their eyes to the guild card.

「She’s really a C rank adventurer…」
「Awesome!」
「This is my first time seeing a C rank adventurer.」
「I’ve never seen a guild card before.」(fishermen)

With amazed faces, the men started exchanging words with each other.

Above C rank is B rank and A rank, right? But as always, it looks like C rank is amazing enough for people in this territory.

The boss crossed his arms and looked at me still with a worried face.

「…Are you sure you want to do it alone?」(the boss)

「Un.
Don’t worry about me.」(Mark)

「Alright then… Boy, you standby at the edge over there.
Delica, was it? You come with me.」(the boss)

Then Delica started walking, following the men.

Oh, right! There’s something I want to give to her.

「Delica, wait!」(Mark)

Delica, who was walking with a slightly nervous look, stopped and turned around.

「What’s wrong?」(Delica)

「I’ll lend you this.」(Mark)

I took off the Silver Eagle Amulet hanging on my neck and handed it to Delica.

「This amulet will protect you.」(Mark)

「Really? Thank you!」(Delica)

「Well, maybe… I don’t know.
I’ve never seen it activated, so I’m not sure if it will be useful or not.」(Mark)

「Huhh…? You’re not sure? Fufu! You’re weird as usual, but thank you, Mark.」(Delica)

While giggling a little Delica put the amulet on her neck and hurriedly chased after the men.

 

――――――

 

「Alright, let’s do this! Be ready folks!」(the boss)

Groups of several people were formed side by side along the bank slightly away from the lake, and each group had a long torch that had been set behind them.

I was alone on the edge of the bank.

By the way, they didn’t set a torch for me because I told them that I could use light magic.

In the group next to me, there were Delica and Kai staring at the surface of the lake with intense looks while holding their spears.
Looks like they’re ready for the battle.

Since Delica was close to me, I could rush to her immediately if something bad were about to happen to her.

However, there was the possibility that I might struggle in my battle and couldn’t save her…

I hope Celine, who was observing us from a distance, would do something when Delica was in danger.

While our surroundings were illuminated only by the moonlight, the torches were lit one after another, and thenー

Kanー Kanー Kanー Kanー!

ーthe clapping sounds of the wooden clappers began to be heard.

Alright, the Tentacles festival has begun!
