「なにを考えているのかな？」
「あなたが強いのでどう攻めたものかと」
「ふっ、さっきの戦い方から見るに、どうやら私の装備のことも知っているようだね。あまり知っている者はいないのだが」
「さて、なんのことやら」

軽口を交わし合いながらも考えることはやめない。
先ほどの攻防でわかったことはバルクスの戦い方が手数で勝負するタイプだということだ。拳闘士は攻撃できる射程距離こそ短いが、その分攻撃速度に秀でるのでバルクスの戦闘スタイルも当然と言える。問題は【青水晶の軽鎧】による速度増加によってさらに攻撃速度が上がっているため、手を抜きながら倒すのは少々難しいということだ。

（厄介なのは籠手だけ……ちょっと試してみるか）

使えそうなスキルを確認し、構える。
その動きにバルクスが反応するがそれよりも早く、シンは踏み出した。

シンの姿が残像を残してバルクスに迫る。シンのいた場所では踏み砕かれた土片が宙を舞っている。

「しっ！！」

一息で距離を詰め右の拳を繰り出す。フェイントなしの素直な攻撃だが繰り出した速度がバルクスの反応できるぎりぎりの速度だったため、反射的に籠手による防御態勢をとってしまう。

（かかった！）

確信とともにシンが仕掛ける。
防御態勢になったバルクスにむけられた拳を籠手に当たる寸前で停止させ、左足での足払いに切り替える。

「ぐっ！」

とっさに左に飛んでダメージを軽減させようとするバルクスだが、意識が拳に向けられていたせいで反応が遅れる。
高速で繰り出された足払いによってバルクスの体が宙に浮く。
【蒼牙の籠手】は攻撃が籠手に当たらなければ効果は出ないので、それ以外に攻撃を当てればダメージを返される心配はない。

シンは無防備となったバルクスの籠手をつかみ、間髪いれずに無手系武芸スキル【柳投げ】を発動する。
【柳投げ】はモンスター捕獲用の極低ダメージの技なのでバルクスに致命傷を負わせる心配がない。それもあってためらうことなくスキルを使用する。

【柳投げ】によってシンに掴まれたバルクスの体が空中できれいな円を描き、受け身をとらせる間もなく地面に激突。とどめに関節を決め、動けないようにする。

「ふう。とりあえずこんなもんでどうです？」

バルクスが動けないことを確認してからシンが問う。同じステータスならここまであっさりと勝負はつかなかっただろう。

「まさか、こうも簡単に抑え込まれるとは。不思議とダメージが少ないんだが最後の技はスキルかい？」
「そこは黙秘で。手の内を明かしすぎるのも考えものですんで」
「ははっ、それもそうだ。私の負けだよ。君の実力は見せてもらった。これなら心配なさそうだ」

抑え込まれた状態から解放され、立ち上がったバルクスはシンに右手を差し出してきた。

「？」
「さきほどはギルドマスターとしての握手。そしてこれは月の祠に認められた者同士としての握手だ」
「そういうことですか」

頷いて握り返すシン。同じ手のはずだが何かが違うような気がした。

「何かあれば言ってくれ、ギルドとしても私個人としてもできる範囲で協力しよう」
「いいんですか？ 個人を贔屓なんかして」
「問題ない。ギルドとしてはランクG冒険者、個人としては友人に手を貸すくらいの協力さ」

ギルドでは一冒険者として、個人ではギルドではなくバルクス個人として力を貸してくれるようだ。組織に属する以上、過剰な助力はできないと言外に伝えてくる。ギルドの長ともなればそれは当然なので十分だと返しておく。

ギルドに戻ると転移ポイントがある部屋にセリカが待機しており、二人にお疲れ様ですと言ってポーションを差し出してくれた。
無傷だったので遠慮しようとしたシンだが、持っていて損はないとバルクスにも進められたのでもらっておくことにした。

「君の冒険者としての活躍を期待しているよ。ではまた会おう」

バルクスと別れ、セリカとともにギルドのホールに戻るため通路を歩く。

「バルクスさまとの勝負はいかがでしたか？」
「やりにくかったですよ。二度目がないことを祈ります、切実に」

無言で歩くのもどうかと思ったので、セリカはバルクスとの勝負を話題に出す。戦っていた時間が思ったより短かったので少々気になっていたのだ。
帰ってきたのはいかにも疲れた、と感じさせるセリフだけだったが。

「そうそうあることではありませんから、大丈夫だと思いますが」
「なんかトレーニングだって組み手とかに誘われそうな気がするんですよ……」

例え訓練でもギルドマスターと戦う事態になど、もうなってほしくないとため息をつくシン。隣を歩くセリカからは、その姿はとてもレベルが２００を超えた（実際は上限の２５５だが）兵《つわもの》には見えない。
高レベルの冒険者は一般人とは違う威圧的な雰囲気を纏っていることが多い。仕事柄そういった人物に会う機会の多いセリカでも無意識に体が緊張してしまうことは少なくない。だというのに若干肩を落としながらため息をつくシンからはそれをまったく感じない。むしろ不思議な安心感のようなものをセリカは感じていた。

（不思議な人……）

そんなことをセリカが思っているうちに二人はホールに到着した。

「本日はお疲れ様でした。ギルドカードの方は明日以降でしたら受け取りはいつでもかまいませんので、ゆっくりお休みになってからいらしてください」
「そうします。あ、もしよかったらお勧めの宿とか教えてもらえません？ 今日来たばかりでよくわからないんです」

ダメもとで聞いてみるシン。宿の良し悪しなどわからないので恥を忍んで頭を下げる。初日から質の悪い宿になど泊まりたくないのだ。

「でしたら住宅区にある宿屋穴熊亭がよろしいかと。食事もおいしいのできっと気に入っていただけると思います。ギルドの前の通りを右手側に道沿いにまっすぐ進めば、熊の手が描かれた看板が見えますのでそれを目印にしてください」
「わかりました。穴熊亭ですね。ありがとうございます」

穴熊という単語に一抹の不安を抱いたシンだが、セリカが紹介してくれるのだから大丈夫だろうと納得することにした。

セリカにお礼を言ってギルドを出る。
熊が出ませんように、などとのんきなことを考えながら宿屋に向けてシンは歩き出した。

"I wonder if're thinking?"
"whether those attacking what because you are strong,"
"fluoride, to see from a little while ago Ways of War, I seems to know also that of my equipment apparently. to know too much he is not who you are but "
"Well, what of it I wonder," is not to stop it you feel you while mutually signed a joke. That was found in the previous battle's that it's the type who battle of Barukusu to compete in trouble. Kento-shi Although range distance what short that you can attack, the so excel in minute attack speed also fighting style of Barukusu granted said. Problem because it has raised more attack speed by speed increase according to the light armor of blue crystal], I hear that a little hard to defeat while unplug the hand. (What troublesome little or try ...... only gauntlet) Check the use likely skills, and set up. Although Barukusu to react to the movement faster than it, Singh has taken. Appearance of Singh is close to Barukusu leaving the afterimage. Stepping shattered soil pieces are waiting for the air a true stomach location. "Know !!" to feed the right fist stuffed the distance in breath. Because it's a straightforward attack without feint the rate at which although it was feeding it was reaction can speed of marginal Barukusu, reflexively and would take a defense posture by gauntlet. and (took!) Singh launch with confidence. The fist directed to Barukusu that became defense posture is stopped at the verge of hitting the gauntlet, to switch to foot pay in left foot. "Goodbye!" It's Barukusu that tries to reduce the damage flying to the left to Tossa, but reaction is delayed due to consciousness had been directed to the fist. Barukusu of the body by foot pay paid out at a high speed float in the air. Since the attack [gauntlet of Aoikiba] is ​​not out effect unless hit the basket hand, there is no fear to be returned the damage if Atere the attack otherwise. Singh grabbed a basket of hand Barukusu became a defenseless, to invoke the [throw willow] Mute system martial arts skills to Kanpatsu Irezu. [Willow throw] there is no worry that inflict the fatal wound because it is work of very low damage for the monster trapped in Barukusu. It also had to use the skill without hesitation. Barukusu of the body that has been gripped by Singh [throw willow] is draw a beautiful circle in the air, and crashed to the ground soon your procedure to take a passive. Determine the joint to stop, so as not move. "Fu. What is? Anyway in such a mon" Singh ask Make sure that no move is Barukusu. And if the same status unceremoniously game so far would not tell. "No way, is to be repressed in this easy. I have little strange and damage, but the last trick paddle skills?" "Nde there is Kangaemono even too reveals remain silent in. hands" "Haha~tsu, it also I hear that. It 's my defeat. Your ability was I saw. This if worry it is unlikely " to be released from the repressed state, stood up Barukusu has been held out his right hand to thin. "?" "handshake as earlier the guild master. And this handshake but as between persons who were found a month of shrine" "It is things like that or" you nodded to return grip thin. It's supposed to be the same hand, but felt something like different. "Let me say that if anything, I try to cooperation in a range that can be as personal as well as Guild" and "Do you say? by something patronize individual" and "no problem. rank G adventurers as Guild, as personal friends in cooperation "of the much lend a hand as one adventurer in guild, in the individual seems to lend a force as Barukusu individual rather than a guild. More than that belong to the organization, excessive assistance can not and come tell implied. If accustomed length and also the guild because it naturally as to keep returns that it is enough. Back to guild the transition point has Celica was waiting in the room there is, to me held out a potion to say that it is cheers for good work to two people. It's thin you try to refrain from it because it was intact, but decided to keep got so also underway was to not hurt to have Barukusu. "I expect the success of as your adventurer. In addition, Let's meet again" Barukusu and farewell, to walk the path to return to the Hall of guild with Celica. "Game with Barukusu sama was it? How" and "it was difficult to do by. I hope that there is no second time, desperately," because I thought if even walk in silence, Celica is a game with Barukusu I put the topic. I had become a little care because time was fighting was shorter than I thought. Although was only words that make you feel you had come back is really tired, and. "Because not that there Oh yeah, I think it's okay," "softening training Even kumite do is feel is likely invited to the Toka by it ......" in situation to fight even if guild master in training, etc., to become another Singh sigh and do not want. From the Celica to walk next door, its appearance is very level exceeds the 200 (actually 255 but the upper limit) does not appear to soldiers "strong man". High level of adventurers often you are wearing a intimidating atmosphere different from the general public. Not a few that unconsciously body ends up tension in many Celica of opportunity to meet such a work pattern person. You do not feel at all it is from the thin sigh slightly while dropping the shoulder to say it 's. Rather Celica such things as strange sense of security felt. (Mysterious person ...) two people to one that thinks the Celica such a thing has arrived at the hall. "Today was the cheers for good work. Towards the guild card because it does not matter at any time to receive when it was later tomorrow, please need from getting to slowly rest" and "so. Oh, recommended inn and Tara if good Could you tell me Toka? you do not know well and just came today, " Singh to try heard bad original. Because do not know such as good or bad inn to lower his head in Shinobun a shame. I do not want to stay, such as a bad inn quality from day one. and "when it was an inn Anaguma-tei is located in a residential district want or as. and I think that it can surely liked so delicious meal. If straight advance the street in front of the guild along the road on the right hand side, drawn hand of bear sign will so please "do it to mark looks I am. Anaguma-tei was "to understand. Thank you" is but Singh holding a Ichimatsunofuan the word badger, is satisfied that would be okay because the Celica is willing to introduce were to be. Leaving the guild to say thank Celica. So that it does not go out bear, towards the inn while thinking that such a carefree Singh began to walk.
