Chapter 11: The Teleporting

“Alright, today’s the day of the final stage of the exam—the hunting quest.”

I, Seiichi, was listening to Altria explain what the plan was while we walked through town. Since we already did errands and gathering-type quests, this would make the last step Saria and I needed to become officially licensed adventurers.

“So what do we need to beat?” Saria asked innocently.

“Just Slimes,” Altria replied. “Normally, you don’t find any too close to town, but since I’ll be with you two, we won’t have to go far.”

Didn’t Altria say something similar during the gathering test? I wonder what she means by that?

“It doesn’t matter what kind of Slimes you beat, either,” she continued. “Regular ones, special ones, whatever. Beat ten of them, and you’ll pass the test.”

“Okay,” Saria and I replied.

We walked in silence for a moment or before Altria turned to Saria with a curious look.

“By the way, Saria, how’re you gonna fight? You don’t look armed, and you don’t even have a staff or anything.”

“Huh?” Saria blinked at her in surprise.

Right, I guess Altria doesn’t know she’s a Kaiser Kong. I bet she doesn’t even know Saria’s weapons are officially her ‘smokin’ hot fists.’

Saria beamed and punched the air in front of her. “Just like this! Bang, bang!”

“……”

After a long moment of staring at Saria’s slender arms, Altria turned to me.

“Hey, Seiichi? I don’t see any ‘guns.’ She got special equip or something?”

I shook my head. “No, she just punches stuff.”

“Bullshit. Seriously?”

“Seriously! Really, trust us!”

To be fair, though, I’d be just as confused if a cutie like Saria suddenly told me she would fight monsters with her bare hands. Deep down, she’s a gorilla, and I mean that in a good way!

“So she’s got special training or something?” Altria continued.

“Nope.”

“…You wanna get smacked or somethin’?”

“Why?!”

“Don’t gimme that! How’m I supposed to believe some total newbie can fend for herself with only her bare hands?!”

“You’ve just gotta believe.”

“Like fucking hell I’ll believe you!”

Yeah, that’s about how I’d reply.

“Don’t worry,” I said. “If push comes to shove, I’ll be able to bail her out.”

I was confident that it wouldn’t ever come to that, though. At nearly level 800, I doubted anything around here could touch her.

“Sure, but talk’s cheap.” Altria let out a heavy sigh and rolled her eyes. “Y’know what, fine. Not everyone’s cut out for fighting, anyway. You’ll be fine this time, especially since I’ll be with you, but buy a dagger for next time, just in case.”

Altria seemed to have come to the wrong conclusion about Saria, but that was fine for now. Besides, even a kid could beat a Slime to death with their bare hands if it was a low enough level.

As we talked, we arrived at the gate. We filled out all the paperwork, just like we had when we went out on that gathering quest, and then moved to leave town. Right before we stepped outside, though, I spotted a familiar face.

“Hey, if it isn’t Seiichi!”

“Oh, Claude!”

Saria beamed at him. “It’s nice to see you again!”

We hadn’t seen him since we’d first come to town.
