I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated Chapter 515: Girls’ Party

Chapter 515: Girls’ Party

At the top of the pass, a group of three girls was being attacked by a Storm Wyvern. I thought they were adventurers, but that was not the case.
One of them was wearing full-body armor like a knight, not unlike that of an adventurer, and the equipment of the other two was oddly refined. To put it bluntly, they were overly decorated. They looked like nobles playing adventurer, huh?
「Lady Khanna! I’ll draw its attention! Please use that chance to escape!」
「…Kuh! Shella! Let’s go!」
「B-but, lady Dianne is…!」
「I’m just going to slow you down!」
A girl who looked to be in her early teens named Khanna seems to be the master. I don’t know if she was a noble or the daughter of a rich man, but she was trying to act without losing herself in fear in this scene. It seemed to be quite a spectacle.
A woman of about 20 years old named Shella was her squire, and Dianne, in her full body armor, was probably her guard.
It seems that Dianne was using herself as bait to try to let her master escape.
Dianne was trying to draw that Wyvern’s attention to her by making a rattling metallic sound with her armor.
W-well, let’s just help them.
『 Its attention is perfectly directed at that female knight. Let’s finish it off at once』
「Nn! Teleport above it!」
『Ou!』
「Urushi protects the girls!」
「Woof!」
Nevertheless, the Storm Wyvern was on the weaker side of the threat level D magic beasts. No, if it were only for its combat power and status, it would be in the threat level of E class. However, its flying ability is troublesome, so it was ranked D.
As long as we can get a hit to it, it wasn’t that strong of an opponent.
「Haaa!」
「Gyaaoooh――」
After the teleport, Fran instantly identified the location of its magic stone by detecting the flow of its magic power and thrust me into that spot. She pierced the magic stone that was located at the base of its neck, and the Storm Wyvern was easily defeated.
I stowed it away as soon as it died so as not to cause any damage to Dianne below, and then silence reigned as if the Wyvern had never been there in the first place.
「Eh?」
The girls were looking up at us with a dumb face. They didn’t even seem to notice Urushi approaching them.
「Are you okay?」
「Eh, yes. Thank you for your help…」
The girls were still shocked, but it was the youngest girl of the group that had responded quickly when Fran spoke to the girls while descending from the sky.
She was a beautiful girl with fluffy violet hair and beautiful purple eyes. The dress armor she wore was also of the highest quality. I can’t tell if she was a noble by appraising her. The young lady does not have a title, so nothing will be displayed as a title.
「Umm, were you the one who did that?」
「Nn. Defeated and stored it」
「I see, thank you very much」
As the girl lowered her head, the other two finally started to move.
「Y-you has saved us. You got my thanks」
「Thank you very much… Hiii! a w-wolf!」
「Wha, since when!」
They finally noticed Urushi who had approached them. And the female knight pointed her sword at him.
「That is my companion. It’s okay」
「I-is that so?」
「Woof!」
When Urushi heard the female knight’s murmur, he transformed into the size of a puppy on the spot and got down. They finally understood that he had no hostility towards them and finally the three of them could relax their shoulders.
「Thank you for your help. I’m Khanna」
「B-ranked adventurer, Fran」
「So you are an adventurer huh?」
「Nn」
It was just right after Fran gave her name. Khanna and the other reacted in three different ways. Khanna was really surprised, while Shella had a terrified expression for some reason, and Dianne somehow had a look of disgust on her face.
It seemed that these girls didn’t have a good feeling toward adventurers. Fran felt this and turned quickly to leave.
「I’ll go then」
『Well, I’m sure these guys will be able to handle the other magic beast on their own』
When I appraised the three of them, I found that their basic abilities were quite high. Not only Dianne but also Khanna and Shella had a status level of 30.
Maybe they have used the power leveling method to raise their levels, but it didn’t seem to be just that. Khanna was able to use fire magic and water magic, while Shella was able to use recovery magic.
And then there was Dianne, who had a decent level of skill. As I had expected, she wasn’t good enough to fight a flying Storm Wyvern, but she would be ranked D if she became an adventurer.
The three of them wouldn’t have any struggle with anything other than wyverns around here. If that was the case, there was no reason for us to stay with them any longer when we had unpleasant feelings for each other.
Shella and Dianne blatantly looked relieved as Fran tried to leave. However, their hopes were dashed by none other than their master, Khanna.
「P-please wait!」
「Nn?」
「If possible, can I hire you to be my escort!」
「Wha! Young lady! But this girl is an adventurer!」
「But you have seen how strong she was just now, didn’t you?」
「But adventurer is no different than a barbarian who only has money in their heads!」
What a horrible thing to say. No wonder that Fran’s mood dropped. And just like that, the master-servant argument continued in front of Fran.
「But if a magic beast of that level happens to show up again, will we be able to deal with it…?」
「Th-that is… No, I can do it! I will let my lady escape even if it would cost me my life!」
「No, don’t do that. I don’t want you to die, Dianne」
「Even though I look like this, I’m still a member of the glorious Order of the Red Banner! And I had prepared myself to die to protect you!」
What should we do… They have completely forgotten about Fran, aren’t they? She didn’t say that she will take the job in the first place.
『Should we leave them alone now?』
(Hmm――)
『Eh? Do you want to help these guys?』
「…Don’t want Khanna to die」
Apparently, she had a good feeling about Khanna, who was the same age as her and didn’t seem to make fun of adventurers, and was concerned about the safety of her servants. However, I was sure that she was angry with Dianne.
『What should we do then?)』
(…I’d be willing to be hired under certain conditions)
『Is that so?』
Well, we’ll just wait for these two girls to stop arguing for the time being.
