"Oh, the chick who was together with the 『Tail of Wind』 huh. Looks like you're done registering."
"Thanks to you. Also, I have a name, Nobusada, please stop calling me chick."
"Haahaahaa, well I didn't hear your name. Nobusada eh, that sounds like a name from Hinoto Kingdom."
This guy, he's doing the document while looking at me. Quite skillful he is.
"Oh yea, you're calling them 『Tail of Wind』, what's that?"
"Wha? You were with them and you didn't know that?"
"Yes."
"『Tail of Wind』 is the party name of those two. They're D-rank adventures with promising future at such young ages. Though they're more famous for their careful completion of quests than for their combat ability. Those sisters have the look so they even have a fanclub I hear."
They are beautiful but to even have a fanclub.... As expected of Futsuno-san and Mitama. They're awesome.
"Alright now, procedure complete. These are your silver coins."
I received silver coins from Kyle. Right on money.
"More importantly, what's your relationship with those two?"
"Eh? A lifesaver that helped them from goblins?"
"I see, so those two saved you when you got attacked huh."
"No, it's the opposite you know."
"Opposite?"
"I was the one doing the saving. I helped them when they were outnumbered as Mitama was hurt."
"You did!? You're kidding me, must be a lie, you don't look that strong y'know."
Mugugu, he doesn't believe it at all. I-it's not like I'm mortified by it!
Since when were you here, Captain-commander Muscle Middle (temp).
"What's with that 'geeh' huuh. From what I see, this lad isn't that bad himself. He'd beat you easily if you let your guard down."
"You serious!? Mugugu, but there's nothing for me..."
"Then I'll give you the right to make an advance on my daughter once."
"To Eleanor-san!? I'll do it, let me do it!"
Wait, the captain-commander is Eleanor-san's father!? The father of War Princess must be terribly strong....

Uooo, why is he this strong. An order of magnitude difference, literally.
Eh? Me? It's impossible for me right now. It can't be a quarrel if I can't stand getting hit once by his fist.
I found a lone bokuto while looking at them haphazardly. How nostalgic! Alright, I'm using this one.
Bokuto 『Merciful Blood Slasher』
A souvenir sold in a certain hot spring resort at Hinoto Kingdom. Magic power came to dwell it after its long history of beating up ruffians.
I appraised it just because.... But what the heck is this. Uwaah, I can see darkened parts here and there when I look closer.
"Huu, you're using my wooden sword huh. You've got good eyes."
So it's yours huh, is that right. Just how many did you beat with it!
"Looks like you two are motivated enough."
Kyle and I face each other.
His flippant attitudes he had been showing quieted down. We readied ourselves and looked at each other. I'd feel aggravated somehow if I lose and he makes a pass on Eleanor-san, it's firing me up. Activate Magic Clad, maximum output it is.
"Hou"
Nuu, the captain-commander noticed the Magic Clad. But it's not like he's warned against it, so he probably doesn't mind me using it.
Guards! What about your job! Wait, the people lining up are paying attention over here too. You the ma'am over there, this isn't a show you know.
However, I had already read that. He looked so obviously wanted to plunge ahead.
I made my attack while he was trying to fix his balance and posture.
Ouch ow ow ow, I'd have fainted if it wasn't for the Magic Clad, dammit.
"How do you like that, you should surrender now."
"But I refuse!"
I fix my breathing while enduring the pain. Then I noticed something when I was covering Magic Clad on my whole body for the second time.
I don't know if it's effective or not, but since it's not useless, I'm going to put all the magic power it can take.
"What's wrong? If you're not coming, I'm gonna do it instead y'know?"
I ignore the cheap provocation. I stare at Kyle and take an upper stance.
He's also swinging from above huh! No, wrong! It changed to upward slash!? How does that even work!?
Not letting that chance go, I jump in the air.
"DIE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I ram a drop kick on Kyle hard!
"BUBERAAAAAAAAAA"
Kyle fell down while raising a strange voice. Ah, he's twitching.
I crouch down due to the excessive pain.
"You overdid it fool!"
It looked to be captain-commander Matda's fist. T'was hurt.
"Kyle too, you were too careless. Your attacks were to random. I'm gonna personally train you intensively after today's work."
"Gwooo, so this is what they say when it rains, it pours."
Captain-Commander, that one just now was the decisive blow no matter how you look at it.
"Lad, you're rough but worth polishing. However, you'd have been done in by Kyle's counter in an actual fight. A moment of negligence beckons death, do not forget that."
"Yes, thank you very much! Captain-Commander!"
I saluted reflexively.
Captain-Commander Matda went back to the guard station in a good mood for some reason. The peanut gallery also broke off after being satisfied with the show, only Kyle and me were left. Since he looked quite depressed, I felt a bit bad for him.
"...Er, how do I say this...don't mind."
"Gufuu, don't you cheer up the loser."
Well, it's not like I don't understand.
"Well fine, Nobusada was it. This time, I'm handing over the right to hit on Eleanor-san to youuu."
Ah, he resurrected. He sure recovers fast.
"No, it's not like I wanted to do that...."
"What! She's that much of a beauty. You're not a man if you don't hit on her."
"No no no, please don't decide that with your standard. I just became an adventurer today y'know? Until I can earn enough to lead a stable life, I plan for love affair will be secondary."
Un, I do yearn for mofumofu-san, but I gotta stabilize my life first. Since I'm not a Tokyoite, not having a saving is not my principle.
"You, you're quite calculated for your age...."
Oh quit it, this is the time to remain obscure.
"I lost this time, but I'm gonna win the next match. So don't die inside the dungeon or something you hear me."
"I'm not gonna die that easily. I'll take you up on that rematch. But just you know I never have any intention to lose!"
We face each other with triumphant looks. I dunno who started it, but the two of us burst into laughter.
Kyle huh. Quite an interesting guy.
Now then, it took more time than expected, I got to secure a place to sleep tonight.
