“What did you do?”

“The same thing I did to you. I healed their injuries and gave them a temporary power-up.”

“You can do that too…?”

‘Once again, you’re amazing… Vampire Lord…’

Anyway, it seems like our party, which until now had only been talked about in rumors, is now understood a little more accurately by Allen and Maron.

“You two are both A-rank adventurers and are renowned for working as an S-rank party, despite having only two members.”

“I’m also A-rank, but honestly, I don’t think I can keep up with either of you. You’re both on a different level of strength. So, I’ll leave the command of this mission to Land-kun. If anyone has any objections, please speak up.”

It was not an exaggeration to say that, especially with Milim, who was truly on a different level.

And that seems to have been conveyed to everyone here, as no one objected to Allen’s words.

“Alright. Then, Land-kun, please decide on the formation first.”

“The formation…?”

I looked at Allen as if asking for help.

Allen continued with a smile.

“First, we need scouts to ensure safety in the surrounding area. These should be people with the appropriate skills… The C-rank party here has a scout, and the two B-rank parties each have one. You need someone quick on their feet”

“I see…”

It’s reassuring to have experienced people outside looking out for us.

“As for that, we’ll watch from the air and I’ll leave this here.”

I summoned Rei from the 『Twilight Coffin』, and the adventurers began to buzz.

“That’s a Fenrir!”

“Don’t be surprised when you hear this. Land-kun is even stronger than that thing!”

“What nonsense!”

The people who were with us in the battle earlier said this proudly.

This was how rumors spread…

“The three who originally scouts should work with Rei to make good use of their experience.”

“Huh…”

The three, who were probably the scouts, looked up at Rei, frozen.

“Rei”

“Kyuuoon”

Upon receiving a signal, Rei jumped into the arms of the three, as if wanting to be petted, pressing its fluffy body against them.

“Whoa!?”

“It’s big… And, it’s soft.”

“It is surprisingly cute!”

Despite being licked and having its head pushed, the three somehow got along with Rei.

“What a luxury for the scouts…”

Allen murmured.

“And the rest?”

“Ah… um, we need a vanguard to protect the front of the formation. A flanker to cover the sides. And a lord to manage the overall safety. Normally, the leader would be here…”

“Well, we’ll cover the sky.”

Allen and the others took on the vanguard, while the other party was assigned to be the flankers. We also decided to have Ace here.

They were supposed to take turns keeping watch while taking breaks, so we also took turns on Earl to keep watch.
