Rick does not speak.

The man known as the Shield of Silence stands before me in silence.

Subconsciously, I tried not to think about the fact that the mastermind is Rick.

He is the head of the Knights of the Lucia Kingdom and has connections with officials in many countries.

Most importantly, the Takumi Point System has an ironclad guard that won't let him get close to me unless he pays his points.

I felt like I was being protected by something nostalgic somehow, and I wondered if Rick's shield technique had influenced it.

'What do you mean, Rick?'

......

As I thought, Rick didn't answer.

'Kobukai, no, I'm sure they've been planning this for a long time. A detailed and grand plan. I'm sure they're planning something using Takumi and Alice.''

I recall Sasha's words.

How long has Rick been planning this?

And what was the purpose of it all?

I think back to the day I met Rick when I was an adventurer.

Oh, yeah.

The first time he saw me, it was obvious that Rick was crazy.

Rick was calm and collected at all times, but in that moment, it was obvious he was upset.

'All right. I'll take these three.

It was after Nuruhachi had taken the three of us from the Queen and left the castle.

Rick just looked at me in silence as Sasha and Batts introduced themselves in the castle tavern.

'Rick, here, introduce yourself, it's your turn.'

...... Oh, right.

The hand holding the glass of ale was trembling a little.

I wondered if he was nervous in front of the Great Sage.

'I'm Rick. I'm the Knight Commander of the Lucia Kingdom.

He bows lightly and looks at me again.

Is it hard to believe that I'm at too low a level to be in the Great Sage's party?

It's true that my strength is unmatchedly low among these members.

No, to be exact, I'm the only one with the lowest F-rank in the guild, so I'm definitely the lowest of all adventurers: ......

My name is Takumi. I'm just a fledgling (rookie) right now, but I'm going to be a great adventurer someday.

Still, I had to do my best to be the senior member of the party.

The party members Nuruhachi had gathered to protect me, but I couldn't continue forever.

''Nice to meet you. Leave the support to me. I'll recover a lot.

"As long as you give me the money, I'll take care of you. I'll help you out.

Rick muttered in a small voice as Sasha and Butts encouraged him.

'Someday, you'll be a fine adventurer or ......'

It was Rick's first impression of him as a dark guy who was acting somewhat suspicious.

After leaving the tavern, we headed to a weapons shop hidden in a corner of the castle town.

We're going to prepare everyone's equipment here. I suggest you find something that suits you.

It was Batts who was most pleased by Nurhachi's words.

Although he was free from the chains that bound him, he was naked on his upper body and his lower body was wearing no more than a pair of ragged trousers, and he was not wearing any rogue equipment.

'No price limit?' How much can I buy?

Yes, fine. But you'll get it back to me when you've earned it as an adventurer. I'll charge you no special interest.

Batts looked blatantly disappointed.

'd*mn you, Secco, Big Sage,'

Bats grumbling and preparing the minimum amount of equipment needed.

'I'll look for a new wand and some replacement clothes too. What about Takumi?

'Oh, yeah, I don't particularly want it.'

I couldn't hide my agitation at Sasha's openness to me.

Sasha's smile was a little too dazzling for me, where age equals history of not having a girlfriend.

'Is that so? Isn't that dagger looking a little beat up? Are you okay?

'Yeah, I'll sharpen it later. I've been using it since I was a kid, so it's comfortable in my hands.

The little dagger, which could be called a knife, had been bought by himself when he decided to become an adventurer.

I've sharpened it many times and used it carefully, but it may indeed be nearing its limit.

'Takumi, hold this for a moment.

While I was talking with Sasha, Nuruhachi suddenly handed me something.

It's a rather large sword, heavy and heavy, and I can't support it, and almost drop it on the floor without a second thought.

What is it? Nuruhachi, this is very heavy.

'Yeah, I picked the biggest sword in the store. Just holding it should give you a little muscle power.

Yeah, yeah. I don't really need it. Am I going to pay for this?

'No, that was Nuruhach's choice and I'll give it to you. Keep it properly trained.

A little embarrassed, Nuruhachi said and moved away.

He was stalking Nuruhachi, clinging to him and clasping him in a battered and shackled position, making a noise about Bats being an egoist.

When I swung the large sword in the testing room set up in the weapons store, my body flowed under its weight and became a Toyota Toyota.

I fell on my buttocks with a thud, but I didn't let go of the large sword Nuruhachi gave me and held on to it tightly.

"Hey, Nuruhachi, will this make me stronger?

Mm. I think you'll be a lot stronger.

Nuru Bee's lips are puckered.

Apparently, he's desperately trying to hold back a laugh.

'Really?'

Yeah, that's true.

Nuruhachi wouldn't look at me.

While everyone was buying new equipment for each of us, only one person, Rick, didn't try to buy anything.

His entire body is wrapped in black armor, and he also has a black shield on his hip.

However, he was not wearing anything that looked like a weapon on it.

''Rick doesn't have a sword?''

I asked, and Rick stared at me for a moment, again a little silent.

I don't know what it is.

I feel like he's been observing me ever since we met.

Is it that the way he wields his big sword is so feckless and despised?

...... Oh, I don't carry a sword.

After saying that much, Rick didn't open his mouth anymore.

It was much later that he would find out why.

That was when the big incident happened.
