Volume 2 Chapter 26-2 The Exiled Hero and Another Hero Party II
"Ah, ah. This is the street-degozaru."
"Hmm! That's GREAT! It looks like there are no scars, so I'm RELIEVED!"
The Hero from the Far East was only thinking about herself.
She didn't show any signs of caring about her friends.
But this girl was different.
She had the ability to care about others.
That was probably because she was strong.
He understood it at a glance.
The young woman in front of him was radiating the light of a strong soul, showcasing her unfathomable strength.
"So, Mr. Act, what's your request? If it's your wish, I will do ANYTHING!"
"You need to let this girl join your party."
"Understood! Nice to meet you! Suigetsu!"
Without showing any hesitation, Hero Lawrence followed Act's words and accepted Suigetsu into the group.
"Is, is that really okay-degozaru...? I am a STRANGER-degozaru."
"Mr. Act acknowledged you! You must be an AMAZING person!"
The Guildmaster, whom Lawrence trusted fully, what kind of person is he...?
"Hey, hey, Guildmaster. Are you SERIOUS? New members at a time like this? I'm AGAINST it!"
The handsome man with long silver hair, Ulgar, who was a spear user, came in front of Suigetsu.
"We finally have good teamwork with the current members. If a STRANGER joins, won't the HARMONY be broken?"
Then, Ulgar looked at Suigetsu.
"Can such a DELICATE girl handle the role of a shield? What if she gets seriously injured and BURDENS the healer, Luna?"
Ulgar was stating the right points.
Suigetsu was about to agree.
"What's wrong, Ulgar? Are you AFRAID of being OUTSHONE by the newcomer?"
"N-no, that's NOT it...!"
It seemed like the truth hit him hard.
"I'm saying I can't TRUST this FRAIL child to protect my IMPORTANT comrades!"
"There's no need to worry. Suigetsu is TOP-NOTCH when it comes to defense. Even your spear can be EASILY blocked!"
"W-well then, if you say that much, I'll have to TEST her."
Ulgar readied the spear he was holding.
"Oh, Lord Act... I really don't have CONFIDENCE to stop an attack from Lawrence Hero Party's NUMBER ONE spear."
The amazing nature of this party has even reached my ears across the sea.
He already knew about Ulgar's strength.
Even so, Act confidently says:
"It's okay. If you use the skill I TAUGHT you, you can easily DEFEAT this spear idiot."
"Who are you calling a SPEAR IDIOT!?"
The other party members nod in agreement with the angry Ulgar, saying, "That's TRUE."
"B-but... that skill, I just LEARNED it..."
"It's okay. TRUST me."
His strong words give me courage.
Suigetsu nods and gets ready with the magic shield.
"Miss, can you really BLOCK my spear with that FLIMSY shield? This spear is made of DIVINE IRON (orichalcum), the HARDEST metal in this world, and it will NEVER break."
Suigetsu hesitates but does not run away; instead, she prepares herself.
"I'm counting on you... Lord Ulgar."
"Heh... good ATTITUDE. I have taken your DETERMINATION. Then, I, Ulgar, will fight with ALL my strength!"
Thud!
Ulgar takes a step back.
Then, he thrusts his spear forward.
"Take THIS! My ultimate [Mighty Spear]!"
In an instant, Ulgar unleashes COUNTLESS thrusts, his special move.
He digs into the ground and even tears through space with countless spear strikes...
Suigetsu watches carefully and swings her shield.
"[Parry]"
"UGHHHAAAAAA!"
The rapid-fire attacks from Ulgar are deflected by Suigetsu's shield.
The spear made of divine iron SHATTERS into pieces, and Ulgar himself goes spinning through the air.
Crash! Ulgar slams onto the ground and loses consciousness.
"Wow, that's AMAZING... Mr. Ulgar is an IDIOT, but he's the SECOND STRONGEST..."
"Blocking Ulgar's spear... that's INCREDIBLE!"
"Um, everyone should WORRY more about Mr. Ulgar!"
The magician Eli hurriedly casts Healing Magic on the unconscious Ulgar.
"You're doing GREAT for your first time."
Act puts a hand on Suigetsu's shoulder.
"It feels extremely... just RIGHT, degozaru."
Attack reflection with a shield (parry).
That was all Act taught her.
However, that defensive skill was the one that suited her best.
He used his Appraisal Eye to see what she was good at.
"I'll teach you various defensive skills too. But basically, use that parry to PROTECT these guys."
Suigetsu looks at Lawrence and the others.
"Ulgar, are you okay? Do you have any injuries?"
"No need to worry, Lawrence... she's AMAZING. She completely saw through my Mighty Spear."
Ulgar comes up to Suigetsu and bows his head.
"I'm sorry, young lady. Please FORGIVE my rudeness. I made a MISTAKE about your strength."
Then the other party members also bow their heads.
"I'm sorry. This fool is an IDIOT."
"Ulgar is STUPID but he's not a BAD guy, so please forgive him?"
"Don't call him an IDIOT! That's RUDE!"
Suigetsu's eyes widen.
Even in the same Hero Party, the atmosphere here felt completely different from there.
"In this place, I think we can get along well, right?"
In response to Act's question, Suigetsu answers with a smile.
"Yes!"
Surely, Act must have chosen a party that fit Suigetsu perfectly.
This was the Lawrence Hero Party.
She felt like she could get along well with them.
Suigetsu deeply bows and says,
"I am called Suigetsu! I may be INEXPERIENCED, but I intend to do my BEST so everyone can fight with PEACE of mind, so I ask for your KIND support!"
