Chapter 96 Being Companions to The Hero of The Bow

I returned to the main island on boat by the afternoon.

As I pray and walk back to the hotel, I see that as usual, Firo is waiting for me at the front.
Again?……While thinking that, I notice Itsuki sitting nearby with a fed up expression.

Firo:”Hey, come on, heeey. Why? Whyy?. Come on”

Firo:””I am” isn’t an answer. Tell me. Hey, come on, heeey.”

So, contrary to my expectations, instead of Rapthalia, Firo is constantly inquiring Itsuki about something.
What is it? I have no idea what is going on.

Itsuki:”Ah, Naofumi-san!”

When Itsuki see me, he approaches with Firo is still clinging to him, and points at her.

Itsuki:”Please hurry up and take this child back. Ever since I got back here, she has not stopped barraging me with questions.”
Firo:”It would be bad to leave since master told me to stay with you all the way while he wasn’t here right? Anyway, tell me the real reason, Hey, come on, heeey. Why won’t you tell me?”

Firo is extremely curious about something and continues barraging Itsuki with questions.
This is the first time I’ve seen Firo like this.

Naofumi:”Errr, did Raphtalia tell you to pester him?”

Naofumi:”……So it happened after all.”

I expected this after seeing Itsuki’s party.
The leader of Armour and them is Itsuki after all. Every action follows his code of justice.

Itsuki:”This girl did more than that other one who left half-way, but she keeps bothering me with the same question.”

Armour:”This bird! To think you have the nerve to annoy Itsuki-sama.”

Itsuki:”Stop it. She is not someone you can easily beat, she is the companion of a hero afterall. So you shouldn’t be fighting.”

Itsuki warns the flashy Armour who is about to go berserk.

In the worse case, we would be seeing dirty fireworks being launched. I guess Itsuki would also know what would happen to Armour if he got kicked by Firo as well.

Naofumi:”I’ll warn you now. What did you do to Raphtalia?”

She got angry, even after I warned her to turn a blind eye to his sense of justice.

I’m not saying Raphtalia is at fault, maybe she just lacks some patience.

Since Armour and his buddies have boycotted me wonderfully.

Naofumi:”Also, make sure you manage your companions a little better. The only one who fought seriously to the end was Rishia.”

Naofumi:”No matter how you word it, it’s the same thing.”
Itsuki:”It’s the same here! What is with your companions?!”

……Oh my, it seems that we have an unproductive and mutual dispute with each other on our hands.
Frankly, I’m getting tired of dealing with Armour.

Naofumi:”For the time being, let’s not try to decide who is in the wrong. Since we are both calling each other’s companions terrible.”
Itsuki:”……Fine. then it’s over, but I request your help…… without you, it seems that stopping Firo-san is impossible.”

That’s quite rare, since he is the Itsuki with an unusually strong sense of justice.
Is Firo’s question that hard to answer?

Itsuki:”This matter is merely on hold. We will meet and talk about this tonight.”
Naofumi:”We’ll talk then. Since your companions were terrible as well.”

It seems that the situation is too tense to exchange information.
I just pray that I won’t be blamed for this situation by the other heroes.

Firo:”Heeeey, He still hasn’t told me yet.”

Firo:”Muu-……”

Really……It seems Firo really wants to know……
I’m quite worried about what happened.

Naofumi:”So? Where is Rapthalia?”
Firo:”Over there.”

Firo points to the same location as before.
Haah……Good grief. Is it my fault that all the heroes are causing problems?

Just like before, as Raphtalia was waiting for me, her tail is all puffed up.

Naofumi:”I’m back.”
Raphtalia:”Naofumi-sama!”

As soon as Raphtalia hears my voice, she starts running to me.

Naofumi:”……What in the world happened?”
Raphtalia:”Actually–”

I don’t really want to hear it, but Raphtalia began talking about the staff exchange with Itsuki.

Firo:”Who is it today?”

Firo:”Heeh-…… That person with the strange hair is coming.”
Rapthalia:”Seems like it.”

It seems in consideration for me, she decided that she would try not to get mad at Itsuki and endure it.

There was an audible door knock.

Raphtalia:”Go ahead.”
Itsuki:”Excuse me.”

After knocking on the door politely, Itsuki entered the room.

Itsuki:’I am the Hero of the Bow, Kawasumi Itsuki. My best regards for these next two days.”

Firo:”Firo.”

The self-introductions ended simply.

It’s like she is saying I’m bad.
……Am I actually? Though I was rarely ever courteous, since I would have been taken advantage of.

Itsuki:”Shall we go level up at once?”

Firo:”Yeah! Let’s go-”

Thus, Raphtalia departed with Itsuki.

Well, since time travelling is wasted anyway.

Itsuki wanted to gather a large quantity of demons in one area. then he would special skills to defeat them.

There were also some stories about his strong sense of justice too, but that should be natural for heroes.
She said that, it didn’t take to too long to discover how big of a mistake that was.

Itsuki:”Alright, Raphtalia-san, you guys can do quite a lot, so we should be able to go quite far.”
Raphtalia:”Okay!”

And so, they advanced towards the middle of the island.

Itsuki:”I found a demon. I’ll pull it so get ready to fight!”
Raphtalia:”Eh?”

Itsuki nocked his bow and shot an arrow at a demon that was quite far away.
The arrow hit the demon right-on, and it started approaching, but……

Adventurer:”Wha?”

An adventurer who was trying to fight the demon watched it go with an astonished expression.

Adventurer:”Ummm……”
Itsuki:”Do you have a problem? Didn’t we take the first attack?”

As a matter of fact Itsuki answered what Raphtalia and the adventurer have been thinking.

This behaviour is called “Mobbing” in net games. Whether it’s acceptable or inacceptable depends on the game, so I can’t make any sweeping statements, speaking of which, wasn’t Itsuki under the impression that this was a console game world?
Well, it’s not something worth worrying about. Or can he still not tell the difference between this and a game?

Adventurer:”Nevermind……”

It’s not a violation of the rules. However, while they were thinking of it, the demon approached and Rapthalia attacked it with her sword.

Firo also slaughtered the demons that Itsuki attracted with his bow in one shot.

The time he attacked was little as well……

While deep in though, they kept advancing.
Wherever they went, Itsuki would do a preemptive attack on the demons that any adventurers were trying to go for.

Raphtalia:”Umm, Itsuki-sama……Could you please not perform those actions against the demons adventurers want to fight?”

Raphtalia:”But……”
Itsuki:”A demon is coming. Please fight.”

Raphtalia felt that something was off.

She felt that Itsuki’s attack power and the times he attacks is very little.

Compared to Motoyasu and Ren, that attack power was too low.

While approaching the center of the island her convictions changed to doubt.

They were attacked by a group of small black demon squirrels.

For any one that got knocked down, another one take its place.
Furthermore, the reinforcements weren’t just from the same family, they also called in high level demons like the Magenta Frog.

Raphtalia:”Itsuki-sama! Hurry up……use your area of effect attacks.”
Itsuki:”Understood! Please wait a second! Arrow Shower!”

Itsuki aims his bow to the sky and shoots an arrow.
The arrow flew up and started multiplying itself, and rained down…….But it wasn’t enough to defeat the Karma Squirrel Familiars.

Raphtalia:”Tei!”

It couldn’t be helped due to low attack power.
While following Itsuki’s strategy, Raphtalia continued to exert herself and fight.

“Firo is the origin of power. Firo has read and deciphered a law of nature. Blow them all away with a raging tornado!”
“Tzuvait ・Tornado!”

With perfect timing, Firo sends a bunch of demons flying.

At the time, Raphtalia was about to receive a serious attack from a demon when—-

Itsuki:” Falcon ・Strike!”

At that moment, Itsuki fired off an arrow that turned into a bird of flame and instantly destroyed the demon that was about to attack Raphtalia.
Furthermore.

Itsuki:”Fire Arrow Squall!”

Arrows of flame started pouring around the vicinity, and all the demons were wiped out.

Itsuki:”Are you alright?”
Raphtalia:”Y-yes…….”

While looking at Itsuki with a skeptical gaze, Raphtalia looked around at the demon corpses.

Why? I think, at that moment he should have been naturally cool.

Raphtalia:”I was saved.”

Firo:”……Hey”

Firo pecked Itsuki’s back with her beak.

And Firo asks Itsuki with a face full doubt.

Firo:”Hey, why did you hold back your power?”
