CHAPTER 24 – FORMALITIES
“… Thank god. She seems okay.”
Jonahim said, his expression softening after seeing that only the edges of rc’s clothes had been slightly burnt, after running to where rc was.
“You’ve got to be kidding … She took down a Ghezo Velche by herself?”
Elea exclaid, her hold on her spear tightening as she gazed at the Ghezo Velche’s corpse, which was right next to rc.
Her face was a mix of befuddlent and remorse.
Elea was likely annoyed by the fact that a young girl had defeated a Magic Beast that even they had a hard ti defeating.
“… Mana Hardening. And quite a strong one at that. Just who are you?”
Luka inquired as she approached rc, who had already adjusted her wooden staff around her waist, and lifted her face to look at her. They were so close that rc would almost certainly make contact with Luka’s breasts if she made a step forward.
“M-? I’m just a Healer in training who wants to beco an adventurer.”
rc said in a cool manner, her gaze falling on Luka. rc’s eyes were pulled to the two bulging hills on her chest rather than Luka’s face.
She’s quite gifted as well.
Although she pretended to be cool, the thoughts that ran through her mind were anything but.
“You must be quite good if Luka comnds you on your Mana Manipulation. The way you dodged the Ghezo Velche’s attacks was also splendid. Are all elves this amazing?”
Jonahim said this after collapsing to the ground, cross-legged, most likely from fatigue. Elea’s face hardened as she heard him say it.
“There’s no way! If everyone was as good as rc, then they would have already taken care of the Ghezo Velche by themselves.”
“I suppose you’re correct. That simply ans rc is amazing. So, rc, if you could have taken it down by yourself, why didn’t you?”
At Jonahim’s question, rc rely shook her head sideways.
“… It would have been impossible. With all of the other Velche around, I wouldn’t have been able to take down the Ghezo Velche. It wouldn’t have been possible without you three.”
“I suppose you’re correct as well.”
However, the truth was that even with the Velche there, rc could have easily defeated the Ghezo Velche. Although she hadn’t known there were two of them, she probably wouldn’t have lost either way.
The only reason she hadn’t gone up the mountain by herself was that the village had banned it. The elf village was a place where abiding by the rules was extrely important.
rc couldn’t go to the mountains alone, and there were no adults who would accompany her. Even if she had defeated the Ghezo Velche after ignoring the ban and going to the mountain, the issue of her breaching the law would have remained.
If that had happened, the Chief would not have approved of her, and she would have just disgraced her family.
The sa thing would happen if she decided to leave the village without first gaining approval and obtaining the necessary qualifications. It was an outco that rc wanted to avoid at all costs.

That’s why finding a safe way to the mountain and fighting the Ghezo Velche had been crucial for her.
And now she had accomplished that goal.
“Pardon , but might I ask you three for a favor?”
“What is it?”
“Could you please inform the village that I was the one who killed one of the Ghezo Velche? Likewise, I’ll request that the Chief also pay you the award for the second one.”
“Huh?”
Elea pushed Luka aside and stood in front of rc with an angry expression after hearing rc say that.
“Do we look like adventurers that would steal another’s achievent? Give a break. True, it’s still difficult for to believe you defeated the Ghezo Velche on your own, but that doesn’t an I’ll lie about it.”
“Miss Elea…”
“It’s exactly as Elea says. We’ll receive our intended reward. While we’re at it, we’ll also report that you defeated one of the two Ghezo Velche that appeared.”
“Jonahim…”
“rc, you’re strong. We can all agree on that.”
“Miss Luka…”
The three of them, as expected, appeared to be straightforward adventurers.
rc had the impression from her past life that many young high-ranking adventurers would steal others’ achievents and commit heinous things, but these three seed to be different.
rc was both amazed and moved by their performance.
Even though rc had never t any other adventurers besides Blazing Impact, it gave her the impression that the adventurers of this age weren’t all awful.
“rc, there’s sothing that’s been bothering .”
Just as rc’s eyes were beginning to water, Elea spoke in a sowhat angry tone. rc could tell she was upset by sothing because of her expression, but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
“rc, try saying my na.”
“What? It’s Miss Elea.”
“Now Luka’s.”
“Miss Luka…”
“Now Jonahim’s.”
“It’s Jonahim. What is this about?”
“This is it!”
What is what?!
rc still couldn’t figure out why Elea was angry.
“Why do you attach Miss to my and Luka’s nas, but call Jonahim without any formality?”
“… Now that you ntion it.”
rc was finally able to figure out the root of Elea’s anger. However, because she had done it unconsciously rc couldn’t answer as to why she was doing it.
In my previous life, I was accustod to addressing n younger than without any formality, and I would add Miss to any woman beyond the age of fourteen. It’s quite hard for to change that habit now…
“Jonahim, do you mind it?”
“Hm? Not at all. Instead, how about I just call you rc? That should settle things.”
Jonahim said with a bright smile, putting an end to the case swiftly. rc didn’t mind Jonahim addressing her casually, so she nodded slightly as well.
“I just can’t accept this…”
Elea expressed her disdain with a scowl on her face, as though she couldn’t believe Jonahim and rc had thrown out the formalities so lightly. rc couldn’t do anything about it, despite Elea’s glare.

“What’s wrong Elea, are you jealous?”
Jonahim casually asked her.
“…?”
Elea, on the other hand, simply stared at him in disbelief.
rc had assud that Jonahim had been unaware of Elea’s feelings for him, but this looked to be incorrect. It had been evident even to rc, who had only recently joined them, so there was no way Jonahim could have missed it.
“If you’re jealous, why not just have rc address you informally as well?”
“… Huh?”
He really doesn’t get it…
“What I’m trying to say is that since you’re already addressing rc informally, rc should just do the sa. Luka, what do you say about it?”
“I don’t mind.”
“I-I…”
Elea had an incomprehensible look on her face as she said. She was probably relieved that Jonahim hadn’t figured out her true feelings.
She silently nodded after one last glare at rc.
“It’s fine with if you say so, Jonahim…”
As a result, despite rc’s wishes, she ended up addressing the mbers of Blazing Impact informally.
What in the world is going on…?
