Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

As long as I know how to draw a magic circle and add magic crystals, even I can use magic smoothly.

That being said.

The materials needed to draw a magic circle are very expensive.

Moreover, the pigments used to draw magic circles are disposable consumables. In addition, the magic crystals consumed every time I use my fighting spirit are very valuable. With my income as a B-level adventurer, I can only barely break even.

To sum up, I am actually quite poor.

Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for me to cross the long forest alone.

After all, I don't have the luxury of being as strong as Orsted.

To travel the distance between the Kingdom of Asura and the Principality of Bashelanth, I must rely on the help of others.

However, I don't have the money to hire someone to go with me.

The better way I can think of is to follow the passing caravan into the northern continent in the name of escort.

But as I said before.

Because the Asura Kingdom is relatively peaceful, almost all adventurers in the entire Asura Kingdom are active in the surrounding area, which makes similar commissions very popular.

Basically, only adventurers above level B are eligible to accept it.

Fortunately, I am now a B-rank adventurer.

Today I came to the guild early on purpose, hoping to see if I could come across a related commission.

Maybe it's because of the blessing of the god of luck.

As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw the staff of the Adventurer's Guild posting new commissions.

Because it was still early, there were not many people in the hall.

I saw it as soon as I walked to the bulletin board.

【Client: Bruno】

[Commission Content: Escort the caravan to Rosenburg, the second city of the Principality of Basilant]

[Commission level: A]

Let’s not talk about the commissioned bounty for now.

Just seeing the content of the commission made me exclaim in surprise:

"This is it!"

……

……

That being said.

After I accepted the commission, the front desk staff told me that this was not a personal commission.

It seems that according to the wishes of the client, several adventurers or B-level teams will be selected to carry out the task together. Of course, the other party will not be stingy when it comes to the commission money.

Because the man called Bruno seemed to be a member of a certain chamber of commerce, and the goods being transported this time were very important and could not afford any mistakes.

So he expected to spend a lot of money on guards.

to be frank.

This is really a bit too cautious.

From what I've recently learned, this kind of commission only requires a B-rank team; recruiting too many people would only increase the burden. And this guy seems to have recruited a B-rank team, plus one A-rank and one B-rank adventurer in one go.

Including me, it's a pretty heavyweight team.

You can literally walk sideways in the forest.

But since the other party is willing to spend money to avoid disaster, I naturally have to help out.

Then again.

Bruno...

I always feel like I've heard this name somewhere.

There is also a team that has accepted this commission. For some reason, I have an inexplicable premonition.

……

……

This premonition came true when I met with the client in the afternoon.

I went to the agreed location and met the client who was packing his luggage at a nearby inn, as well as the B-rank adventurer team that was meeting with the client.

The person who was talking to the client was a woman with light brown skin and dreadlocks tied behind her head.

She wore a breastplate and gauntlets.

Although these are relatively light equipment, swordsmen of the Sword God School would not wear this kind of equipment, and for the Water God School, it is a bit too light.

He must be a warrior from the Beishenliu School.

When I saw her, my eyes also fell on the team behind her.

The team was not very large, with only five people including the woman who was talking.

Magicians, warriors, and those wearing white robes who looked like priests...

There are actually people carrying bows.

This is really rare. After all, there are very few people in this world who use bows, and for people who have fighting spirit, bows and arrows are really hard to use.

"..."

By the way, a bow?

An image popped up in my mind.

So he couldn't help but look at the archer carefully again.

It was a girl with short golden hair and blue eyes.

His equipment was light, he had no sword at his waist, and he carried a bow on his back.

He is probably around fifteen years old.

Even in this cold northern border, she was still wearing a white short shirt and a black silk tight lining, revealing her slender waist with clear lines. She even wore lace knee-high socks that didn't look thick.

The snow-white and delicate thighs were exposed to the air, so white that they were dazzling.

I looked at my big cotton-padded jacket and big cotton-padded pants.

Seriously, isn't she afraid of the cold?

Before I could think carefully about the rationality of this outfit.

The girl finally noticed my gaze and glared at me fiercely.

"Hey, guy over there, what are you looking at?"

"..."

I looked away embarrassedly.

The girl's figure is basically consistent with my impression, and the time should also match.

That is to say...

Oh shit.

Hit the main line.

Image: "Sarah", Location: "Images/1718089372-100406581-111770452.jpg"

Adventurer: 25, Notorious

If i remember correctly.

The girl in strange clothes is named Sarah. She is a member of the B-rank adventurer team [Counter Arrow]. Her profession is an archer similar to a ranger, which is quite rare.

Image: "Sarah", Location: "Images/1718089683-100406581-111770453.jpg"

I have an inexplicable liking for this girl.

If you want to talk about the reason...

There's no particular reason.

But once you think of what happened to her in the original work, you can't help but feel sympathy for her.

Although she was just a young girl who bravely expressed her feelings and did nothing wrong, she was seriously hurt by the immature Rudeus, which led to the end of her initial relationship.

what is this?

Do older people have sympathy for little girls?

I think instead of dwelling on these issues, it would be better to consider how to get along with each other in the future.

That's right.

【Counter Arrow】 and I took on the same commission.

Seeing their figures, I finally remembered that the name Bruno was the merchant who hired Rudius when Rudius went from the Kingdom of Asura to the Principality of Basherant.

At that time, in addition to Rudeus, a group of people from [Counter Arrow] were also hired.

Now [Counter Arrow] is here.

That is to say...

Rudeus should be nearby too.

I looked around but didn't see Rudeus. I was afraid he wouldn't show up until it was time to set off.

Forget it.

Just go ahead.

I steeled myself and, under Sarah's unfriendly gaze, walked towards Bruno, who was negotiating with [Counter Arrow].

"Um... hello, I'm Ron, the B-rank adventurer who accepted this commission."

"Oh?"

The brown-skinned woman turned her head and looked at me.

Then he smiled and held out his hand to me.

"I'm Susanna, the vice-captain of [Counter Arrow]. Please be patient with me for the next while."

"Hello……"

I was about to shake her hand in response.

"Wait, are we supposed to be traveling with this guy for two months?"

The person who spoke was Sarah.

She's been staring at me with an awkward look since a while ago. Maybe it's a misunderstanding.

But it is indeed not polite to stare at others all the time.

"Sarah, don't say such willful words."

Susanna glanced at Sarah helplessly and then apologized to me.

"I'm sorry, Sarah is still very young and not used to getting along with strangers. Please bear with me."

"Oh... no, if I must say so, I was wrong. I was staring at Miss Sarah for some reason just now, and I'm really sorry. If you can, please accept my apology."

I reached out to Sarah apologetically.

Sarah gave me an odd look.

"Sarah?"
