CH 17

During our meeting, Guildmas said I'm the key in this Stampede, but that can't be farther from truth.

A reminder, I'm just a G-ranked peon.

I don't think there's any adventurer who is *not* stronger than me around.

"I know you're thinking, 'what's this guy on', however you and Almatina have proven yourselves capable of defeating a Hobgoblin and a Bladewing accompanied by ten of goblins unharmed."

"I mean yes, but that only worked well by pure chance and an ambush. It would have been impossible if not for Spark Wolf's horn and Fire Frog's oil."

"Precisely. An ambush that utilizes Spark Wolf's horn. I am thinking of using that tactic."

Meaning the horn is the key, not me.

There's no need for me, is there?

"We had sent guild staff to purchase those in a mat store close by the guild, but another customer had bought the last one they had in stock. Kajikawa, do you still have more horns on you?"

That customer is probably me.

"Yes I do, can I just give the horns to the guild then?"

"In a way, yeah."

"What do you mean in a way?"

"We will have you throw the horn at the raiding magic beasts on the invasion day. You alone by yourself."

...Say what?

"H-hold it right there, me? Eh? By myself?"

"From what I heard, you are able to move things around without touching them and even freely fly at high speed, unbelievable as that sounds."

"Eh, well, uh..."

"You're not denying, it's true then... Just who are you really."

Please don't look at me like I'm some sorta monster.

Wait that's not it!

"What does that have to do with having me go up against an army of magic beasts? Are you telling me to die?"

"Calm down. I'm not saying you to go on a suicide attack. We'll work on the detail now."

...Had I known it'd come to this, I wouldn't have shown off mana control or bought those horns.

I want to take shelter right this instance.
