Grand Canyon, Alfried Kingdom

September 10, 3210 G.E

1:10 PM

Deep gorge typically one with a great river in the arid land xerophilous vegetation, one of two canyons in the world— Grand Canyon.

Estimated, ten kilometers southeast of Wallop Town and located east from Royal Capital of the kingdom, the same distance.

Strong warm breeze flew through the high elevated cliff wherein a group of three observing beneath the current position.

They are the "Promise Party" of the leader, Ascon Griego, the father of Hanaka. Although he isn't there and preparing precautionary measures to take, leaving through his hands the fate of the town and its people's safety. This was understood for the three as a hierarchical position, the guild master whom with great responsibility to hold.

The upcoming disaster that the party investigates for. Tremendous hordes of goblins moving through in one direction where Wallop Town was. Categorized Threat-Level A.

「 What a number is that? We can't win against that... 」—Alchemist?

「 Freakin' said already Rom... end our dearest home, but if its change in direction, maybe?... 」—Swordsman?

「 Task. What a waste my time here, Rom, Markus. I can't wait any longer. 」

「 Hang in there Sophia-chan, our spy will arrive at Wallop latter before evening. The last thing we do know is interrupting them, somehow to slow goblins' movements so it'll give them more time preparing... Can you lend a hand? 」—Markus

「 Of course tsk. If it's for Ascon-kun and lovely Hanaka-chan, I would help absolutely! 」

「 Ostensibly, standing here above those goblins is.. is... 」

「 No, it's not what you think Rom. We couldn't fight them frontwards, taking meaningless death and I'm sure running was out of the vision. Elite goblins are faster than us. We proceed now in opposite direction and get their attention. 」

「 All us gonna be bait then making noise, goblins turn to us, and sacrifice ourselves so that to change their pace rather to town.. tssk.. 」

「 Your right Sophia-chan... emm sacrifice you said, not to that extent 」—Markus

「 Tssk, timorous alchemist and... 」

「 ??? 」—Markus+Rom

「 Stupid swordsman 」

✦✧✦✧

Grand Canyon, Northwestern Part

3:33 PM

「 Ah.. agh.. agh... I... tired.. agh.. walking... 」

Markus panting rapidly.

「 I'm too... trembled ⟨phagm⟩ 」

Rom fell unconscious.

「 Weaker than a woman magician? pathetic males tsk..

Here we now... 」

「 Rom, Rom! 」

Taking energy vial at dwarf's pouch.

「 bloarghbloau ⟨drinking⟩ fuahh! Thank you Markus-senpai 」

「 Oh, you two revived. Tssk.. 」

「 You harsh to me Sophia-neesan. I'm not dead! 」—Rom

「 Stop you two.. According to plan, we just only show up behind and when we got their attention, then run at maximum 」

「 Feeling leader huh. Tssk 」

「 Ascon-senpai isn't here so who gonna be the leader? of course me! 」

「 Speed vials you two」—Rom

⟨+15 Agility: 10 minutes⟩

The three used enhancement vials make by Rom the Alchemist. Accordingly, to plan, they run ahead to one pack of goblins.

「 Hey Goblins, I am Markus Kush. The one who shall exterminate you all Goblins! Vice Leader of majestic Promise Party 」

「 Ro-ro-ro-Rom Scarry... 」

「 Tssk uglies..., Sophia Von Laddiem. You're mongrels !!! 」

「 Arrrghh! Rorrghh! 」

Goblins attacking the three. Markus and Sophia have seemingly broken their firm expectations after their shameless introductions.

「 ???? Only three goblins??? 」

「 Ahhhhhh !! 」

Rom running west desperately

「 Tssk timorous! don't leave us! 」

「 Rom, You deceive us! ... 」

「 ROOAAGHH !! 」

Sophia and Rom grabbed Mark's clothes. They both hugged his waist without hesitation according to the plan. Even only three normal Goblins were seized.

「 3, 2, 1, 0 ... ~ Speed ​​Accel ~ 」—Mark

「 Whaaaoohhh ... 」

Rom seems to lose his body in slow motion.

「 Ahhh !! ... stupid, I dropped my magic rod !! 」

「 Sorry Sophia-chan 」

Markus decelerates gradually then stopped running.

⟨Phagck!⟩

「 Get me down! 」

「 Ahww worww my head .. sorry sorry Sophia-chan. 」

「 Tssk. Why are we running so far stupidly if we can kill this three easily??? 」

「 Yes yes no .. 」

Both Mark and Rom face each other, scratching their head.

「 Oh Elemental God Of Fire I beseech you thee, turn this bunch of uglies into cinders ~ Flamethrower ~ 」—Sophia

⟨ pwooooshhhooww ~~⟩

The line of fire from the red magic circle bends 30 degrees from left to right. Burning all three into ash. Turning to miasma and vanish.

⟨ pyuun ~~ ⟩

[ You Killed 3 Goblins! ]

[ Exp Accumulation: 9 XP ]

[ Drops: 3 Green Apples ]

「 Green Apples huh? poor luck tssk ... you stupids 」

Rom and Mark run quickly picking green apples then taking the first bite and munching.

「 Let's split the apples, Rom! One-half for you and 」

「 Ngammum! ⟨taking bite⟩ rrmmm ⟨chewing⟩ Markus-senpai its taste not bad 」

「 Nothing changed, they continuously proceeding ... Ascon-kun, Hanaka-chan ... 」

Sophia gloomy was worried about their hometown with widespread havoc caused by the Goblins' invasion.

She's profound thinking about their origin and unimaginable numbers in hordes.

「 You want some Sophia-neesan? 」

「 Stop! Man 30 years old, still acting like a child, until now you haven't got a girlfriend at your age, pathetic tssk. 」

「 33 years old, no boyfriend nor suitors... 」

Markus replied while muttering beside Rom.

「 What did you say ?! 」

「 Nothing, we better return home Sophia-chan right? 」

Markus gave her a wry smile followed Rom nodded.

「 Well ... 」

「 Let's go, everyone. A waste of time. That Goblin King is a smart guy, no matter the three people, the town is their target. Why? Man's flesh? Reproduce? what's the reason? And how they know the location... 」

Markus thinking deeply, leaving the two in his presumptions.

「 Tssk we got no time swordsman, let's hurry, we need to help them! 」

Sophia sign of retreat and the convinced face of two nods for her resolution.

Griego Residence

10:32 PM

「 You must not eat that! Hanaka-chan 」-Margarita

「 Little Slimes my lovely daughter, are monsters... not a food. 」 -Quinna

「 There are those who try to eat it and gotten bedridden for weeks, with severe stomachaches. For worst in some cases, low levels are dying. You don't do anything to ruin yourself Hanaka. 」-Ascon

I was worried when I was about to die. Instead of arguing, they were concerned about what I was going to do next. Sometimes, I lose control of myself, not because I felt like a vampire or my former life. I'm hungry though, I don't want to think that my food isn't edible, a monster. Or just live for only human blood. I promise myself that I cannot do anything to kill anyone who lives just to satisfy my hunger. I promise to death.

「 I promise to death 」

「 No one can break the promise of dignity, courage, and responsibility. 」

「 Yes, there's no reason not to keep or fulfill what you promised and it would be good to die. 」

「 I wept through the painful and miserable memories of not eating once in two days, any food that my parents provided. I pick it up quickly on the floor and clean with my hands so that it won't get dusty ... 」

Why I remember those precisely... why I'm crying? warm tears flow from my eyes, my vision has gotten blurry, and I. I can't control this flow... why.... why my chest getting hurt?. So painful...

{Scenery change into sorrow theme}

Why you three cried too? I... I...

「 Ah ... I have nothing to eat and locked in for a few days. I used to kill my only pet and eat only the heart .. hiee ... hhie my whole soul was ruined by what I did there. What more reason do I have to continue? No longer. I killed myself! for doing nothing! Asking for help, crying but no one is coming ... 」

「 I'm a good person, a good child, but why? Is it my fault that I was born in the wrong place? If I had been chosen to pick, I would have chosen to live a normal life and family. 」

「 Whoever tries, who isn't blessed. I'm sorry, Father, Mother, Margarita-san, I've seen you like this ... 」

Wiping my warm tears and they hug me... so warm.

「 You're so kind-hearted Hanaka-chan. It has been a very sad life experience. 」

「 No apology Hanaka. You are free to be happy. Forget about the past and we'll give you what you need. 」

「 My love daughter, I'll fill my motherhood with you. Mother will love you. Even though you are so cold ... I still embrace you. Our bath, our bath ...」

「 Eh? Mother, I'm .. oh 」

I'm embarrassed but with that honest smile. I can't resist.

「 Hahahahaha ...」

Scenery change into laughter. Is this a dream? I don't want to wake up.

「 Don't be sad. You'll be strong! 」-Ascon

「 My dear, you mean our daughter will kill these Little Slimes? 」

「 Impossible Uncle. Anyone knows, there are no exp points by killing this monster. Some people call it Free Monster. Aside from the large number outside of our village, a child can kill it for jellies ... 」

「 You are both right. But divide her, she is one you know, only four of us. 」

「 My secret of being a vampire? 」

I muttered and they nodded up and down..

「 Nothing can happen except consuming it. Try Hanaka and be strong. I know something good is going to happen ... 」

「 Do it... 」

My mother and Margarita-san said in unison. I guess so I'll try.

「 Thanks Mother, Margarita-san, what do I use to kill it? Fists? 」

「 Yes, Hanaka but maybe its useless against low physical attacks, just guess ... 」

< a few seconds later>

「 This dagger, you must hit it in the core 」

「 Is that the dagger? ... 」

「 Yes Margarita-chan. Twilight Dagger. you handle it .. 」

[ Congratulations! You Completed The "Twilight Set". All Stats of Equipped Items Are Increased By 50%. ] <sfx robot-girl Voice>

「 Twilight Set? 」

「 You have completed the set Uncle! 」

「 Yes, I gave a quest. And for the duration of this search for a dagger as the Guildmaster of our village, I have given my daughter this gift alongside with other pieces of equipment... 」

「 Thank you so much, Father! 」

「 You're welcome.. 」

「 Hmm? I found two buttons with the letter "I". Small ones. One in the dagger, and one in Little Slime? 」

I think it's clickable?

「 Woow ... 」

「 What did you see? 」

All of them ask me. Hmm, nothing wrong if I say these...

「 Everything is ... Monster Name Little Slime, Threat-Level None, Level 1, Vitality 1, Abilities Crawl F, Hop F, exp accumulation 0?, Drop rate 1 lollipop 11%, Gelatin 0.1%, plus max vitality 1 out of one million ??! !! 」

「 Haa ??? !!! 」

They all shock.. is it uncommon?

[Congratulations! You learned a Supreme-Tier Spell "Info Share"]

「 I have a strange spell Supreme Tier? Info Share? can you recall Father, Mother, Margarita-san? 」

「 Yes, I'll not surprised anymore, you're wonderful Hanaka-chan, you have come to know monster information. Very convenient ...」

「 Having a Supreme Tier Spell, adventurers rarely get that kind of spell. Although I'm a veteran adventurer, I don't have that height 」

「 Your father says, you are free to do whatever you want. You're able to manage as well as getting spell without getting a hard time to learn. We need to pay high to know how to get a spell. 」

Mother?

「 Thank you for the praise. I'll do everything I can to make myself stronger... 」

Maybe try to cast this spell.

「~ Info Share ~」

So no matter how many people I want to cast with this spell as close as within my range? Magic circles are coming out of their eyes ... Hmm? .. they see what I see too?

「 Wow ... 」

Simultaneously wondered, similarly to me, I'm shocked too.

「 It's great to have this ... 」

「 You're right, Margarita-chan. Having it all, knowing the strength of monsters. 」

「 The Town is peaceful. Fortunately, no problem has occurred in the past 18 years.」

Magic circles disappeared suddenly ... Info seeker ability, to learn about monsters and so others can see what you see. It's very convenient having this. If I have a problem, I could know the enemy's strength if I can fight it or let go and run. In a nutshell, my death rate goes down from 100% to 90%. But my safety is uncertain, the question- slow, easily tired, weakling, how can I escape the danger ?. I need to grow stronger.

「 I'm going to die when Hanaka-chan gets plus max vitality. The odds of getting too low are too great. One in a million haha ​​no-no, even kids find it hard to get a lollipop ... Miraculously from above, she's getting it fun haha ​​haha ​​wild 」

What's gotten to her? wildly excitedly, grinning and laughing?

「 Margarita? 」

「 Margarita-chan? you're going crazy. 」

「 Certainly not Uncle, Auntie. Kill Little Slime, Hanaka-chan! 」

So she's in a happy mood.

「 All right 」

「 Hyaa! 」 {Wsohk} {pyuun}

There was a red lollipop, gelatin in the container, as well ..

[You Killed 1 Little Slime! ]

[Exp Accumulation: 0 XP]

[Drops: 1 Lollipop, 1 Gelatin]

「 No? so getting that plus vitality max is nearly impossible. As expected. 」

[You Gain 1 Special Item. Your Max Vitality Reach To 2! ]

「 No? 」{All}

「 That's! I got it!!! 」

Margarita kneels. Ah, your words were invalid. I'm not letting you killed yourself.

「 Miracle, no wonder Hanaka-chan! 」

She changes her mood now... gloomy...

「 Don't kill yourself Margarita-san! 」

I Holding her two hands maybe I convinced her.

「 No Hanaka-chan, just kidding ..」

Ah eh... why your face getting red, do you have a fever?

「 Hanaka-chan ah ...」

{Thoook...Thoook...Thoock}

Someone knocking and Father Ascon opens the door instead.

「 Ascon-sama, we're sleeping and ...」 {???)

「 Ohh Merko, sorry we'll sleep again. 」

「 All right Ascon-sama, good night Hanaka-chan. 」

Does his hand wave a little to me?

「 Ah good night ..」

Memoria isn't needed today. He left a little fat and our neighbor. Hanaka's best friend ...

Inhale 「 Whoohh」 ... Exhale ... 「 hooo ..」 Describe, digging it a brain, make my soul host, I hold a book named Memoria. No ... put a finger on a page that I want to, open and ... close it, put it on the bookshelf and leave. Woah my head hurts, I feel a little pain. I kind of thought this way so I could control the sudden worry whenever I encountered an unfamiliar person.

「 Hanaka-chan are you alright? 」

「 Hanaka, do you have a headache? 」

They worried expression again...

「 Nothing. I already control my head problem fuhaha 」

「 Good grief... sigh 」 -Quinna

「 He's Merko, her friend and older brother ...」

Father Ascon suddenly stopped by mother?

「 My dear, what's the name of our child? Can't they have the same name ... Hm? "Ascona" like that? 」

「 Ascona? The best name for her is " Quinna The Second " probably not ...」

「 Eh? 」

Mother, what kind of a name do you mention and Father ... Ascona? Hmmm ... think...

「 Uncle, what do you think of "Hanakaka"? 」

「 Hmm .. 」

Eh? Margarita-san? The name you gave me, was never applicable to my sister or brother. Why do you two seemingly agree? I hate what you said ... Think of the name ... Hmmm ...

「 My lovely daughter, do you have a name for your sister? 」

「 She's a girl, Hanaka 」

���� Hanaka-chan can "Hanakaka" okay for you? 」

「 No no ... I had a good idea for her .. hmn ~」

Bad for me, I'm not getting used to it. Naming is... yes!

「 It would have been nice to Father, Ascona but what about Mother. This my best suggestion, what about the names of the two of you emerged into one? 」

「 What do you mean, Hanaka-chan? 」

「 Hmm is that right? if father and mother give names then would it be better to have their names together? So when the names Ascon and Quinna are combined ... 」

「 ??? ...」

Ascon, Quinna, and Margarita give excited expression, eyes shining. Kinda awkward this scene in my front.. hehe

「 " Asna "is pretty right? Ascon and Quinna, Asna. That's the best part, in case the guy is Qion ... 」

「 Asna 」 「 Asna 」 「 Asna 」

「 How wonderful! 」

「 Shhhh, 」

Oops ...

「 Ahhmm ...」 {three yawning}

「 It's good to have you know all about your status. Ahmm 」 {Ascon}

「 Status? 」

Yes, a status, a new word I didn't know when I came here in the new world. Does Status know like Little Slimes? ... I'm curious to mine! ..

「 Like this, ~ Status Open ~」

I see a huge notification of the kind plane that comes with me every time I do something unique, in front of Father and action, using his index finger to click the buttons. Woah I'm so intrigued to know my stats!

「 Father, Mother, Margarita-san, look at my status ... 」

They hurried out of bed on the couch and went next to me so they could see my status. But strangely, why would they see my status while in monsters, no? yes I also saw Father before he cast 「 ~ Status Close ~ 」. Yes, monsters don't see their status by person's naked eye, that's what he said earlier that the security of the adventurers' lives as a guild master is a troublesome problem for. He gives information about monsters that scholars have studied or perhaps others like me with "Info seeker" ability and evaluates how difficult it's to defeat the monster and what rank the adventurer will receive the quest. Through Guild girls like Nemma-sensei and Gelli-sensei can share information too with adventurers before accepting the quest and the signature of the Guild receptionist to allow them. The adventurer would do nothing without the permission signed by the Guild. Father explained it to me as I killed the Little Slimes one by one. And stopped for a moment, why did you focus so much on my Status as if you were surprised?.

「 ...」

They stood still agape at my stats...

「 Ehh, even if my status is 1, I have SSS abilities. Crimson Locket ??? 」

I had to check it out one by one because they were so sleepy and Father was explaining it at times. But the case is different, I don't need to take a nap, I can only sleep when it's my free time or nothing to do so. I don't feel like I'm that these past few days.

I can't get stronger by defeating only these slimes though but it's assuring my safety from getting attacks...
