This Hero, Three Weeks Later!

"Erana!" I shouted.

"Entangle!" She answered. The Lizal before me was surrounded by large thorny vines as I charged at it with my sword.

The monster hissed, but I could tell it was simply trying a last ditch effort to intimidate me as I ran it through.

Slowly, the Lizal crumbled as the vines released it. I pulled my sword away and placed it back into its scabbard.

"Good work, Kenji-san!" Erana ran up with her hand raised. I smiled and gave her a high-five in response.

It has been three weeks since the night I spent outside. In that time, Tael and Kany have not come to the guild a single time. I have attempted to contact them with Mind Connection, but it hasn't worked. As a result, Erana and I have been taking on monster slaying jobs outside of the city as a way to make money.
