Ur was witnessing what could only be called a miracle.
“【────】”
Even as dawn broke, the golden girl, Diz, continued her life-saving efforts, chanting spells.
Before her hands was a passenger who had been severely injured in the earlier undead rampage. The man, with a deep gash in his abdomen and unconscious, was being treated while his wife and children gripped his hands.
And soon,
“【────】Done.”
Diz declared succinctly. The children and the wife were momentarily stunned by the abruptness of her declaration, but as Diz removed her hands, the man began to breathe quietly.… Read more

“This is going to be a pain…”
[Diz!]
But at that moment, Akane, who had been binding one of the bandits, called out.
Diz turned to see a new undead soldier appear beside the fallen Rose and pick her up.
She had thought the area around Rose had been cleared, but Diz frowned and immediately raised a hand.
“【Thunderfire】”
The magic unleashed was fierce and precise, aiming to strike the undead soldier without harming Rose.… Read more

Chapter 3: The Golden Dash
The head of the bearded man slipped cleanly off his shoulders.
It was such a swift strike that there was no sound of tearing flesh. That only made it feel even more unreal.
The bearded man’s face remained frozen in a dazed expression, as if he hadn’t even realized he was dead. His head rolled to the ground and came to a stop at the feet of his companions. Even as blood gushed from the remaining body, the atmosphere still felt like some kind of sick joke.… Read more

“You’re a knight, right? Stay here and protect this place.”
This place might not be safe either. Whispering so the evacuees wouldn’t hear, Ur furrowed his brow with a complicated expression.
“I’m technically a bronze-ranked adventurer. Don’t worry about me.”
Considering he’d only been an adventurer for a month, “technically” was a stretch, but he kept that to himself.
“Alright. But if it gets too dangerous, run. No one will blame you.”… Read more

“Sir Ur, I’m sorry for leaving it to you.”
“Actually, it helped. You told me where the monsters were… or rather…”
Seeing Shizuku look slightly apologetic, Ur tilted his head.
“Come to think of it, your hearing’s gotten better, hasn’t it?”
“…Yes. Lately, I’ve been able to hear sounds around me more clearly.”
──As Glenn had mentioned, the strengthening of the body through magic gradually manifests as skills. Enhanced senses, the emergence of a sixth sense that shouldn’t exist, and so on.… Read more

“Sir Ur. What shall we do?”
Shizuku asked. Her eyes held a hint of anxiety. It was immediately clear that she was worried about the knights being injured right before their eyes. Ur nodded in agreement.
“Either way, we can’t just stand here and watch. Let’s lend a hand—”
“We’ve been waiting for you.”
“—Whoa!?”
A third voice interrupted their conversation. Startled, Ur turned around to find a woman dressed as a servant standing behind him and Shizuku, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.… Read more

Chapter 2: The Attack of the Dead
The Island Devouring Turtle is a mobile fortress used throughout the Greed Territory.
Its appearance is that of a giant turtle with six legs that firmly treads the ground. Capable of carrying many people and cargo, it is the most popular type of “Familiar” mobile fortress, ensuring safe and reliable transportation.
It is a rare means of avoiding the dangers of monstrous creatures and the ferocity of the natural environment when moving between cities.… Read more

“You’re not used to traveling, I heard that beforehand, but you need to report any injuries. That’s basic. Glenn would kill you if he found out.”
“I’m sorry.”
After efficiently treating her, Ur scolded Shizuku thoroughly. Sitting formally, Shizuku listened earnestly, though it was unclear how much she truly understood.
Managing her was difficult because she had an unusual sensibility—she placed no value on herself.
Though she acted reasonably understanding in conversation, she had a bad habit of prioritizing things other than herself at critical moments.… Read more

After a while…
“Phew! That was scary.”
Fortunately, the Plakio seemed to have low perception. It slowly plucked leaves from the nearby trees and leisurely wandered off. After it was gone, Ur and Shizuku crawled out from the crevice.
“We made it, huh?”
“Let’s not let our guard down yet. There aren’t many places to hide here.”
Ur shook his head at Shizuku’s words. This place was a narrow path sandwiched between towering cliffs.… Read more

Chapter 1: A Request from the Culprit
*Great Sin City-State of Greed – Tavern [The Hideout of the Greedy]
“Escort Quest”
To buy back a sister who was sold off due to a debt incurred by a family member.
In such an utterly unreasonable situation, Ur and Shizuku had just recently managed to become full-fledged Bronze-rank adventurers. The request came to them shortly before they received their Bronze-rank certification, during a celebration party held to commemorate their defeat of the bounty target, the *Gem Doll*.… Read more
