Life in Another World With Narration

27 – Arachne Queen’s Nest

These days, the atmosphere in the guild, or rather in Kubel as a whole, was turbulent.

This was because scandalous rumors were spreading about the newly chosen saint and warrior.

“Did you hear? “They say this hero is a famous criminal in the capital.”

“How did a bastard like that become a hero?”

“They say he slapped the bishop.”

“Oh, that’s noble. “I heard he spit in the knight commander’s face.”

How much of a scumbag is this guy that rumors like this are going around?

Honestly, I had no interest in becoming a hero when the narration certified, ‘You are absolutely not a hero.’

But since I never got tired of hearing new rumors about the hero every day, I had no choice but to know about them even if I didn’t like them.

“These days, all we talk about is heroes.”

I handed out today’s request to Tina and said,

“The movements of demons are unusual these days.”

“…… “I don’t think that’s the problem.”

“Anyway, the request registration has been completed-“

As Tina expertly processed her documents, she said with a business smile.

Looking at her these days, it is difficult to imagine what she looked like when she was Saint Sistine.

When she was a saint, she was exactly what comes to mind when thinking of a saint, a sacred and benevolent light.

Well, I didn’t wear her underwear.

But now, the dark circles under her eyes have deepened, and there is even an unknown darkness in her business smile.

She was by far the ace among receptionists as she was so skilled and fast at handling documents without even looking at them.

I feel once again that people can change to this extent when the environment changes.

“But Yunoa, don’t you undergo the silver promotion review?”

Tina asked me as I was about to turn around.

“Promotion review?”

“I happen to have a request that allows for silver promotion review.”

In fact, she was sufficiently satisfied with her work as a bronze adventurer that she did not even think about promotion.

Of course, she had no intention of staying in Bronze for the rest of her life, but it was also true that she did not even bother to look for a promotion.

『Yunoa was satisfied with her current stable income, so she settled for the present and tried to pursue only a comfortable life.

He was truly a passing adventurer A, without ambition or dreams.』

No, it’s not that bad.

Is it because I feel like the narration keeps attacking me with a mixture of propaganda and fabrication these days?

I usually give accurate information, but whenever I tell my story, they attack me like that.

If it were real, I would want to hang it upside down and train it until it says nice things.

Anyway, there was a request that could be reviewed for silver promotion, so there was no reason to refuse it.

Adventurers are usually promoted by participating as a party member in quests of a higher grade than the target for promotion.

It was a system created for safety because in order to get promoted, you had to complete a quest that was more difficult than the usual quests.

For example, in order for Bronze to be promoted to Silver, a Bronze and Silver adventurer must form a party together for a Silver level quest.

In order for a Silver Adventurer to be promoted to Gold, Silver and Gold Adventurers form a party together in response to a Gold level quest.

After the request is completed, the high-level adventurer who served as the leader for the request submits an evaluation form for promotion to the guild.

Then, the guild will make the final decision on whether to promote or not through a review based on the submitted evaluation form.

The monster suppression team I participated in in the past when I was a novice was similar.

Thanks to the subjugation leader Mileia submitting an evaluation to the guild after the request was completed, I was able to be promoted to bronze adventurer.

In fact, she found out later whether or not she would be evaluated for promotion and submitted a rough acceptance evaluation without even knowing who it was.

“Promotion review…… I would be happy if I received it. “What kind of request is this?”

“It’s the subjugation of Arachne Queen’s nest. “I think the group will consist of three people, including Yunoa.”

There are three of us, not too few, not too many, just right.

To be honest, I didn’t even feel like I participated in the monster subjugation team I participated in as a novice.

The undead monster attack that occurred in the middle of the night was not something that was originally included in the request.

“Okay. “Then that’s it.”

“Yes, I will go through the procedures right away.”

Tina finished filling out her paperwork at breakneck speed and stamped her stamp, completing her process.

* * *

I met two adventurers in front of the guild who will join me in conquering the Arachne Queen’s nest.

This was my first time performing a party request at a proper guild, and I thought first impressions were important, so I greeted them as soon as I saw them.

“Hello. “My name is Yunoa, and I participated in the request for promotion this time.”

“Ah… ! Ruler… Please take care! I… I’m Sylphy! “I am also eligible for promotion!”

The girl, whose short hair is so round that it almost looks like a mushroom, fidgets and bows her head to me.

The sword worn around her waist was short. And her skirt was short too. Is she a child who uses a dagger?

The occupation of adventurers registered in the guild was a bit refreshing because the proportion of swordsmen was overwhelmingly high.

“Hmph, do I have to wear two humps?”

At that time, the man who was looking at me and Sylphy with a disapproving expression blurted out.

“What about that one?”

“Nigel. You are the leader of this request. “Silver Adventure Branch.”

“Oh, yes…” ….”

“Don’t stand out so as not to get in the way, and listen carefully.”

Nigel said, his eyes narrowed like a snake.

What is this unlucky guy?

At first glance, he looked younger than me, but I felt that he was very blatantly ignoring me.

What can I do?

They say that in social life, rank is more important than age.

If your adventurer level is higher than mine, then you are my brother…… It’s too unlucky to say that.

But there was no need to be rude and hit back in the same way.

Anyway, if you’re a Silver Adventurer, you’re the leader of this party, and it’s Nigel who submits the evaluation forms for me and Sylphy.

Ha, it’s dirty and shameful.

“Wh… I will do my best! Ruler… i look forward to!”

Sylphy, the bronze adventurer with mushroom hair, bowed her head at a 90-degree angle and said to Nigel.

I’m glad that that girl named Sylphy seems nice.

It’s a party of 3 people, but if both of us don’t have a good meal, I lose motivation.

Arachne Queen, the target of subjugation, was a large spider-shaped monster.

As her request level was high, I heard that she was a dangerous monster that could not be compared to slimes or ratmen.

As someone who has been bored with bronze requests every day, it was also an opportunity to test how well my skills, which I had been training my body with through magic conversion and swordsmanship training every day, would work at higher levels.

Even if you end up in danger because the monster is stronger than you think, there will be no problem because a silver-level adventurer will accompany you as a safety measure.

Even though the attitude is unlucky, silver is silver.

Wouldn’t you still have skills no matter what?

After we finished talking to each other, we immediately set off for Arachne Queen’s nest.

I have hated spiders since I was young.

The unpleasant experience of walking down the street without thinking in the summer and seeing an invisible spider web stick to your face.

Because of its ugly and disgusting appearance, I felt physiological repulsion even though I knew it was a beneficial insect that eats pests.

Ordinary spiders are like that, but what about Arachne, who is not even a beneficial insect?

“hehehe! Thing… “There are a lot of spider webs!”

The more I looked, the more mushroom-like Sylphy said, trembling as she held the dagger tightly in both hands.

The forest where Arachne Queen’s nest was discovered was truly a sight to behold.

The surrounding bushes and trees were all covered with white spider webs.

Even though I was walking slowly and paying attention to my surroundings, an invisible spider’s web kept clinging to me from somewhere, tickling me.

“Don’t be so nervous. “Are you sure you really want to get promoted?”

Nigel, a lump of rice, looked at Sylphy and clicked his tongue as if he was pitiful.

“But spider webs keep coming…” ….”

“It’s natural because it’s Arachne’s nest. Something like that again…… “Eh tsk tsk tsk!”

Nigel suddenly frowned at her and quickly brushed his lips away with her hand.

While she was talking, a spider web entered her mouth.

He acted proud and looked good.

The deeper we went into the forest, the darker it became.

It wasn’t because the day was over.

This was because spider webs covered the highest parts of the trees, blocking the sunlight.

She continued to move forward like that.

Oh my!

“aaa!

A white and sticky spider web suddenly shot out from between the bushes and wrapped around Sylphy’s ankle.

“It’s Arachne! Watch out for the spiderwebs!”

Nigel shouted, holding her sword and lowering her stance.

At that sound, I immediately focused my mind on her and filled her body and sword with magic.

“aaah! Please help me!”

Her Sylphy had fallen on her back to the floor and was being dragged around, with a spider web wrapped around one of her ankles.

The two white, thin legs kicked hard in the air, unable to find a place to stand.

Oh my!

A spider web stretched out from the bushes again, this time targeting my ankle.

I stepped back and filled my sword with magical power, quickly cutting the spider web before it reached my ankle.

Then he ran to Sylphy, who was being dragged by a spider web, and cut the spider web wrapped around her ankle with his sword.

“Go…” Thank you!”

“Wake up quickly! “The spider webs are coming again!”

I grabbed Sylphy’s wrist and lifted her up.

There was no time to dawdle because spider webs kept flying from the bushes.

Oh my! Sigh-!

This time, several spider webs stretched out from the bushes at the same time.

Nigel was responding well to spider webs on his own, as befits his level as an adventurer.

It seemed like there was no need for him to worry, so I decided to respond while staying by Sylphy, who was inexperienced in dealing with it.

“Sylphy, can you react before the spider web reaches you?”

“Do… “I’ll give it a try!”

Sylphy nodded at my words and took out a dagger.

At first, I couldn’t cut the spider web properly, so I had to stop the spider web from reaching Sylphy.

However, after this situation was repeated several times, Sylphy seemed to have gotten used to it and started dodging and cutting down the spider webs with agile movements.

“Oh… ….”

Adventurers who use daggers move like that.

Sylphy jumped up as if tumbling with her hands on the ground to avoid the spider webs, and cut several spider webs on the floor as she landed.

It was a movement that stood out for its flexible body and agility.

It felt a bit like watching gymnastics, so I kept staring without realizing it.

『Yunoa was admiring the body of a young and pretty female adventurer in this urgent situation.

He did not miss the underwear that was briefly visible in her flashy movements.

He could not have been anything other than a truly shameless pervert of the lowest order.』

At times like these, the narration in my head suddenly poured out baseless accusations at me.

I am busy dealing with spider webs right now, so why would I have such leisurely thoughts?

Really, this damn narration…….

… ….

…… White.
