A Certain Adventurer
“Damn, what’s with this number?” (Deborane)
“Deborane-san, what do we do now?” (Lanz)
It was by chance that we passed by the village.
We were returning from killing some monsters when we encountered a man attacked by a Giant Spider. Lanz and I defeated the Giant Spider and saved the man.
Small spiders are cute but look disgusting when they are as big as Wolves.
The man we saved told us that numerous Giant Spiders had appeared in his village. So the man said he was going to a nearby village to ask for help.
I handed him my canteen and told him to go to the village and get help. The man drank the water in one gulp, thanked me and ran off.
“Deborane-san, what do we do now?” (Lanz)
“Of course we’re going.” (Deborane)
“Yes, let’s do it.” (Lanz)
Lanz and I ride off in the opposite direction the man rode off.
We saw a Giant Spider moving around the village when we arrived in the village.
Some of the villagers were armed and trying to fight them.
That was not bravery. That was just recklessness.
Fighting should be left to the experts.
If one could cook, one should be a cook.
If one could farm, one should be a farmer.
If one wanted to do business, one would be a merchant.
One would be a lord if one wants to organize a town.
And if one wanted to fight monsters, they would be an adventurer.
In other words, me!
“Lanz, tell the people in the village to go inside and hide because they are in the way.” (Deborane)
“Yes, of course.” (Lanz)
Lanz and I ran around the village and told them to retreat into the houses.
“It’s dangerous, stay inside the house.” (Lanz)
“Orya!” (Deborane)
“Stay inside the house and don’t make a sound.” (Lanz)
“You’re slowing us down, so go inside and board up!” (Deborane)
When the villagers identified us as adventurers, they followed my instructions and went inside their houses.
Amidst all this, a woman came running up to me.
“My husband failed to escape and was caught by a big spider in the field.” (Villager A)
The woman asked for help.
Giant Spiders capture their prey but do not eat it right away. They had the habit of wrapping their threads around it and preserving it.
But if they were hungry, you never know.
“I’ll get my reward later, okay?” (Deborane)
I mounted my horse and headed for the field the woman told me about.
There were two Giant Spiders in the field. There, lying on the ground, was what appeared to be a person wrapped in spider silk.
“That one?” (Deborane)
I brandished my sword and defeated the Giant Spider.
I got off my horse, ran up to the man, and carefully put my knife close to where his face would be.
The threads were sticky and hard to cut.
But the man’s face emerged from under the coiled thread.
He was breathing. And his eyes slowly opened.
“You’re alive.” (Deborane)
“Oh, and you are?” (Villager B)
“I’m an adventurer. You can thank me later.” (Deborane)
I tried to cut the threads around the man, but more Giant Spiders appeared and gathered around us.
