Chapter 34: Ivyred(1)
"Hey aren't you a little harsh on our training today!!" Arna complained as I kicked her away, while Kelin swung at me only to be dodged and be punched into the ground,
I smiled at the two siblings "What are you talking about? I just want to see you Improve after all we have to wait for Eclair to hit level 10 so why waste time doing nothing."
"Fucking demon" Kelin spoke spitting out the grass from his mouth.
"Well you aren't wrong,"
"Shouldn't you be helping Eclair reach level 10, it would be very exhausting for her since she has been using your technique now."
"First, it not mine second she will do just fine"
In fact she was doing more than fine by the looks of it, Level 7 since we decided to stop just outside of Ivyred territory.
I was letting Eclair work it out for herself because of the level difference She will hit level 15 soon, so it wasn't a problem since she would be able to keep up after that.

I should start leveling up, after all I can't fall behind those bastards,
I was still thinking about it as I dodged Arna's sneak attack while grabbing her spear and flipping her to the ground.
"Your presence is all to detectable."
Arna clicked her tounge as I sheated my sword.
"Kelin you are helping Eclair level up go east she is there come back after she hits level 15."
Kelin nodded as he left leaving me with Arna,
"You angry?" I asked she looked at me.
"N..No why would I be?"
I looked at her, her irritation was all too clear as I stood directly in front of her.
"Are you thinking that I might go after Eclair and forget you?"
She grumbled under her breath as I pulled her closer leaning close to her ear,
"Oh my, you are getting jealous before I even flirted with her. I wonder what would you do if someone more skilled in the spear joined our party,....."
" The hell are you saying, you think I would just give up.,...." She growled lightly as I could feel the the surroundings darken a bit. So she has the this trait hum, this is going to be fun.
I smirked looking at her face, and flicked her forehead.
"Ouch!!" She backed off rubbing her forehead.
"Worry about such things later there are things I need to know about this world first."

3rd Pov,
Ivyred Territory.
Kasier, was a guard at the outpost of Ivyred territory, it was quite late in the evening as he saw the carriage approaching drwan by two Tyrella with a figure sleeping atop of it and one driving the cart.
"Quite late for entering the territory isn't it?" Kaiser spoke as the man driving the cairrige smirked tossing of three copper coins that were usually collected by the lords.
"That's enough right?" The man asked as Kaiser glanced at the great axe next to the man and then at the man sleeping at on top of the cairrige they seemed like adventurers,
"Yes that's fine, it's just odd for people to reach here so late" Kaiser spoke as the Carrige drove in,
"Any inns you recommend?" the man on top asked as Kaiser just smiled weakly.
"Well there is only one" Kaiser replied as the man sat up looking down at him,
"Thanks" the man replied as Kaiser was still frozen looking at the glowing eye.
There was a rumor he had heard about the sword hero but he had just passed it off as a joke.
"Ah...Sir hero i apologize for being lax in my manners." Kaiser bowed as he heard a laugh.
"No need for that, anyway see you later" Adric who was sitting on top of the Carrige spoke as Kelin drove off.
"You noticed it?" Adric spoke as Kelin who was driving nodded while Arna poked her head out.
"Why do I feel like something interesting is going to happen tonight?" Arna spoke as Kelin just shrugged.
Eclair had managed to reach level 16 by killing some high level beast and thus was currently resting after being healed by Adric who stared at the town that looked normal but it was almost as if he could smell the tension.
Riyute Village, Melromac.
"Seriously Naofumi-sama, you can't just be taking hits like that!" Raftalia was bandaging the bruise on Naofumi's shoulder, from hunting the great bear earlier.
"Well there wasn't any other option in that situation plus I was able to level up wasn't I?" Naofumi replied as Raftalia sighed as she got up from the bed.
"You need to be careful Naofumi-sama," she spoke quitely before leaving.
Naofumi sighed, as he got up looking at the egg that was sitting at the table, he didn't know why but he had instinctively bought the egg from Belokas.
From what he had said the egg should be hatching soon,
After hitting level 17, things seemed a lot calmer but the uneasiness was just at the back of his mind something about Adric wasn't adding up,
He knew that the heroes held a certain sway over the public, but having him didn't really help Adric all that much, in fact it was detriment to the the Sword Hero's reputation.
It felt like he was hiding something but as long as it was mutually profitable Noafumi didn't really care.
Moreover, he had a feeling that sticking with Adric was the best course of action, he didn't really have allies except for Adric's party and Raftalia.
Portes, Northern Melromac
"So how are things going?" Lechoa Portes the lord of Portes territory adjacent to Ivyred territory.
"The captain has already raided the villages quite a few times but the Ortega Merchant group is still doing business," the Knight captain Welt, stood looking at the Lord who was eating his dinner,
"Hmmm....what do we do?"
"What do you mean my lord?"
"Why don't we force, William to do something?"
"but we have already forced Ivyred territory as far as we could...."
"Well there is always his daughter isn't there? Since he is unable to pay his debt we are to have some insurance that he won't just refuse to pay it."
Welt looked at Lechoa, "I will get down to it" He replied before walking out of the room and into the corridor where two other knights joined him.
"That bastard is still the same" Welt muttered before asking the knight to his right.
"Have the others gotten there yet?"
"No the Bow hero is still at the Castle, but the Sword hero has just arrived in the Ivyred territory. We could ask fo.." the Knight was still speaking when Welt cut him off.
"No, we cannot ask for his help because unlike the others he is different, it was only for a moment when I saw him during the banquet....he isn't someone we can manipulate"
"But then kidnapping William's daughter..."
"We don't have a choice if we want to keep our covers intact, send the message to those fuckers" Welt replied as he moved on with the knights.
Unknown to them the butler who was taking care of the plants, smiled before taking out the sheet of paper.

1st POV
I smiled lightly as I looked at Reyna who seemed a lot bigger now than when I first picked her up.
"So you will grow if your level increases hum, shall we go for a night hunt then?"
Maaw~ came the reply as if agreeing with me,
"Hey I will be coming back late after helping Ryena reach Level 16 or something," I spoke as the other three looked at me.
We had just finished our dinner Eclair seemed hesitant about something, seems like she wants to ask about something.
But if she is going to hesitate so much it's better for her to wait some more.
"Well then we are off," I walked away coming out to the empty streets there were many houses that were empty.
Odd, even the inn owner looked unhappy is it the lord that is leading for such conditions maybe but I could smell it the scent of an opportunity.
"We will see won't we Reyna?" I spoke as the cat purred on my shoulder.
I needed to increase my level too, since there were people stronger than me, currently.
I ran off towards the forest under the full moon as I could already sense the beasts that we would be a killing.
