“Well,” said Zelos, “we ended up on a bit of a tangent there. We should probably get back to talking about work now, eh?”

“The guard job, right? There’s no guaranteeing any of us will be put in charge of guarding that one noble boy, though...” Lena mused.

“Yeah,” Iris replied. “And parties like ours are gonna have to split up when we get to the forest.”

“So we’ve got no clue whether any of us’ll end up with that kid we have to protect, huh,” said Jeanne.

When the students reached the Ramaf Woods for their combat training camp, they’d be split into groups of seven, with each group then assigned a guard. But the mercenaries who’d come for the job didn’t get to choose who they were going to guard.

In other words, there was no guarantee that anyone here would be placed with Zweit, the student Duke Delthasis had asked them to protect.

“If we’re unlucky enough to all get assigned to someone else, I can get my three birds to follow him around. They’ll be stronger than some amateur mercenary anyway.”

“You’re talking about the coccos, right? What level are they now? I kinda get the feeling they’ve gotten even stronger since the last time I saw them fight...”

“Yeah... I was wondering the same thing. I know I wouldn’t want to run into them in a forest. They’ve gotta be way stronger than the average monster...”

“Yes—and it sounds like they were really making a name for themselves at the mercenaries’ guild while we weren’t there. What did you do to those coccos, Zelos? I know they’re technically just chickens, not your retainers or anything, but...”

They were some impressive chickens, though. One of them alone would be more than enough to take out the average mercenary.

The three of them had grown stronger than the average cockatrice—the final evolution for a wild cocco—and they seemed to be really fixated on how strong they were. They were probably about the best guards you could ask for...as long as you ignored their habit of getting so absorbed in fighting that they forgot what they were meant to be doing.

Still, they were monsters. You couldn’t really blame them.

“I’m trying to imagine how that’d work, Mister, but I’m just getting this, like, really cute image in my mind...”

“I know, right? This training camp’s meant to be pretty tense, but when you picture a few chickens waddling along behind the students, it suddenly feels more heartwarming than anything else.”

“They may look cute, but I don’t think you could find any more vicious guards if you tried. I feel sorry for anyone who goes against them.”

“Well, they are above Level 400 now. I’m interested to see what’ll happen when they evolve.”

Jeanne, Lena, and Iris responded to Zelos as one: “Level 400?!”

Monsters adapted to match their environment.

For example, goblins living in human territory could be the same level as goblins living in harsh environments, but the latter would be much, much stronger, mostly because they had more combat experience. And it was
