Chapter 272: Three New Members

Aeris and the other “Black Golden Wings” had three new temporary members join them.

They are all G-ranked adventurers.

In reality, however, they are excellent warriors of the dragon tribe who came to the village of Dansas through a combination of Tauro’s “Spatial Transfer” and Ragune’s “Dimensional Corridor.

Malak, a tall, beautiful man with red hair and golden eyes.

Zumei, a blond-haired, Golden-eyed, small in stature, and at first glance, looks like a beautiful boy.

Reeva, a slender, golden-eyed beauty with long blue hair in a ponytail.

All three were equipped with almost the same equipment, but the individuality of each of them was considered eye-catching enough.

“I’m sad to leave the village of Dansas behind.”

The red-haired Malak sighs with regret at having to leave his short-lived but much-loved village.

“Malak-san is disappointed that he won’t be able to eat the pork cutlets that Ragune taught him, isn’t he?”

Zumei, the blonde, said to Malak, his senior, as if to tease him.

“Zumei also liked the fried food at the “Dwarf Inn,” didn’t you?”

The blue-haired Reeva pointed out to Zumei, who couldn’t speak for others.

“There are delicious foods in the royal capital, so please be patient. Besides, there is a “curry shop” in the royal capital that Tauro entrusted to the Garfish trading Company to run.”

Aeris provided the three new travel companions with information about food in the Royal Capital.

“Oh! Tauro-dono, who came up with the idea of tonkatsu, has a restaurant in the Royal Capital? I’m looking forward to that.”

The red-haired Malak was so happy that he was willing to put aside his purpose of going to the Royal Capital, and Zumei agreed with him, so the blue-haired Reeva calmed Malak and Zumei down.

“Don’t forget what we are here for, both of you. Our mission is to gather information on the Assassin guild who are targeting Tauro-dono and to eliminate the members of that organization.”

Riva said something outrageous, but in reality, she was the first to find the assassination guild agent who came to the village of Dansas to search for Tauro’s whereabouts, using her higher-level Person Appraisal skill and Anti-Inhibition skill.

Once she caught him, she ruthlessly extracted the information and disposed of him.

Once, a villager saw the scene right after that on the outskirts of the forest, so they decided to leave the village of Dansas, but when Ragune told them they were going to the royal capital, they decided to register with the Adventurers’ Guild and become members of “Black Golden Wings” so that they could accompany her.

It’s best to get local information from those in the know.

At first, they had asked Ragune, who was working hard in the area, but she had told them only about fried foods such as pork cutlets, delicious miso cuisine, and Adventurers’ Guild-related matters, which left them feeling extremely biased.

In the meantime, They had already hunted down all the suspicious characters in the village of Dansas, so it would be safe when Tauro returned to the village, but if they don’t cut off the source, it would be a cat and mouse game.

The three of them thought so, but they had heard that the base of the Assassination guilds that had been secretly operating in the area had been wiped out by Count Daredar, who controlled the land of Dansas, so they decided that it would be better to move to the royal capital, where they were still in the dark, and gather information.

“Aeris-san, you are very good at standing in the rear guard. I have many years of experience, so it’s only natural for me, but to be able to do so well at your age is something, I look forward to in the future.”

The blue-haired Reeva praised Aeris, recalling the time when she was ordered to take down a group of orcs in order to check her abilities.

“It’s rare to see Reeva praising a rearguard’s standing. Aeris-dono is a good leader, so I think you should be confident.”

The red-haired Malak also praised Aeris.

“I think so too. We dragon people are long-lived, so we have a lot of confidence in our ability to get around due to our long years of accumulated experience, but I think Aeris-chan is pretty good at her age.”

The blonde Zumei agreed with them and praised her.

“Thank you, all three of you. ……How old are you all?”

Aeris asked as the interim leader of the “ Black Golden Wings,” feeling complicated as the new members praised her from above.

‘I’m only a little over eighty myself, but I’m the oldest in this group. I’m relatively young.’

The red-haired Malak replied with a laugh.

‘I’m sixty-eight. I’m the youngest of the three, but I’m the center of this information-gathering mission, you know?”

Zumei, the blonde, seems to be the strongest of the three.

“I’m 79. All three of us were chosen because we are all good at what we do when it comes to gathering intel.”

The blue-haired Reeva answered her age without reluctance.

“Huh? Isn’t Reeva already 80?”

Malak, the red-haired one, asks with a straight face.

“I’m still 79 years old! Only 5 days left…”

Reeva smacks the red-haired Malak hard on the head.

It seems as if she answered without hesitation, but in fact, she is a little concerned about her age.

Aeris and Ankh are surprised to hear the ages of the three.

Aside from Aeris, the three people Ankh thought were his age were actually his seniors in life.

“It’s no wonder they’re making efficient moves against a herd of orcs… Normally, I don’t think you can rush into that herd without hesitation, but I guess that’s the difference in experience.”

Ankh had a lot of experience on the battlefield, so he was able to go charging into the herd with them, but he was convinced, he was just surprised that they didn’t hesitate more than he did.

“I’m just a little kid in this group.  ──Then, what is Ragune like among the dragon people?”

Aeris said as if to warn herself, and asked about Ragune.

“I am a promising young woman with a promising future ahead of me…”

As Ragune was about to answer with a proud look on her face, the three senior warriors interrupted her.

“”You’re still just a chick, aren’t you?””

The senior warriors were all over her, and she let out a single, depressed remark:

“Damn it, kill me…”

She let it leak out.
