Chapter 10: The Perspective of Hero Grathias

"Hero Grathias, I summoned you because there's an urgent request!"

"Is it an emergency?"

An urgent request refers to something that requires immediate attention, separate from the usual requests given by the Adventurers' Guild. It could involve monsters attacking the town or a failed escort mission that requires another party to take over.

Being specifically designated for a request is an honorable matter, indicating that only I, as a member of the Hero's party, can handle it.

However, although I've never seen him this flustered before...

"T-T-T-That's because there are monsters overflowing near the capital and in the local cities too!"

"Isn't that something that happens all the time, Tap?"

"No, no, no! These monsters are of Rank A and Rank S! They suddenly appeared all over the country, causing a huge commotion. The Royal Knights are dealing with it urgently, but they lack the manpower and strength. That's why it became an emergency request!"

What did you say?

Monsters of Rank S and Rank A wreaking havoc all over the country? It's hard to believe.

Such monsters rarely appear, and the Knights are monitoring the situation, so they should have some grasp of it.

It's unnatural for them to suddenly show up like this.

"And they also appeared around the capital. We want the Hero's party to deal with it. There's a Behemoth among the monsters. Please help us!"

A Behemoth?!

That's an extremely dangerous species of monster!

It's unheard of for one to be near the capital until now.

Why didn't anyone notice it before?

But we are the Hero's party, and it's our duty to accept any request that comes our way.

"We'll leave right away, but we can't do it alone!"

"We're counting on you, Grathias! We'll also request assistance from other parties!"

Guild Master Tap is expressing his expectations towards us, but it's a Behemoth, after all.

Anyway, let's head to the scene.

------------------------

"Grathias, it's good that we accepted the request, but aren't Behemoths dangerous?"

"Misha, Behemoths are dangerous, but we can win! We're the strongest party, after all! Let's win and come back!"

"That's right, it's easier to fight without the annoying Franz."

"Yeah, Franz is an alchemist, but he's completely useless in battle! Ahahaha!"

That's true. Without the alchemist Franz, who is more of a hindrance than a help in combat, we can finish this quickly!

While discussing, the Behemoth starts rampaging.

"Gagiaaaaah!"
