Isekai No Gakusei: Students From Another World
Nightmare

Three Days later...

Rolf, Yuzuna, and Darren were walking around the city. Rolf asks them to accompany him to buy a new sword.

"So, which blacksmith are you going to visit?" Ask Darren.

"I heard, Rudd's Blacksmith Shop is the best in the city" replied Rolf. "Maybe I can find a suitable sword there."

Darren and Yuzuna nodded.

Actually, Darren also had time to think about buying a new weapon. The Goblin axe he had been using all this time was quite heavy, so Darren could not reach his maximum speed in fighting.

"Maybe I'll buy a new weapon too" Darre said. "What weapons do you think fit me?"

"For great fighters and magicians like you, it might be good if you make weapons according to your own design" Rolf said. "I heard that Blacksmith Rudd also provides these services."

On the way, their attention was suddenly distracted by something. A group of soldiers, seen walking on their horses. They seemed to be the royal army.

"What are the royal soldiers doing here?" Think Rolf.

"Kingdom?" Darren.

"Yes. The city is still under the rule of the kingdom of Europe. But even so, they rarely touch this city" explained Rolf. "Maybe they're just passing by or something."

Darren became a little relieved. He was worried that the appearance of the royal army was a problem.

"Then, let's hurry. I can't wait to see your new weapons" Yuzuna said.

Arriving at Bandai Besi Rudd. Rolf and Yuzuna were looking at some powerful weapons.

"What people are saying" Rolf said. "All the weapons here are of high quality."

"of course. I forge them with affection, ha. ha. ha. ha..," said Rudd, the blacksmith. "Then what do you want?" Rudd said he saw Darren.

"Can I order a gun?" Ask Darren.

"Of course you can. I can make it, as long as you have enough material" replied Rudd.

"What if you increase the efficiency of this axe?" Darren pulled out his goblin axe.

Rudd narrowed his eyes. Then he was surprised.

"Wait....what!? Goblin Axe!?" Her words were mesmerized. "I don't think a bronze adventurer like you has defeated a Goblin king."

Rudd took the axe. He continued to watch her with a serious face.

"I'm sorry, I can't" Rudd said as he placed Darren's axe. "This man has some kind of magic, so it can't be improved anymore."

"That's it," Darren said.

"But, if you want, I can turn this axe into another weapon" Rudd said. "The magic on this axe prevents me from improving his performance. If I destroy this axe, then the magic will be gone. Then I can remake it."

That makes sense to Darren. Using the ax continuously was indeed unpleasant. The axe continued to curb Darren to unleash his maximum strength.

"Alright, that's a good idea" Darren said. "So, how much is it?"

"For you, I'll price you four silver coins" replied Rudd.

After paying for it, Darren gives up his axe to Rudd to be turned into a long sword. Rudd guarantees that his weapon will be finished tomorrow.

"Darren, look! Do I look like I fit this?" Call Rolf in style with a big sword.

"Honestly, you look stupid" Yuzuna sneered.

"I didn't ask you!" Reply Rolf.

"But you do look stupid about it. Your sword is even bigger than yourself," Ejek Yuzuna laughed.

"Hey, I'm not that small, you know!" Rolf said furiously.

Seeing the two of them fighting, made Darren laugh. It was unexpected that shopping like this would be so much fun.

"Oh yeah, Darren," Call Rolf out of the blue. "What if we form a party?"

"Yes! I also think so," Yuzuna said excitedly.

Darren fell silent. "The party? You mean the party to run the q-quest?" Darren stammered.

"Yes. So we can stay together" Rolf replied. "That would be fun."

Darren was silent. He was afraid of losing them.

"I can get this close to them. I'm afraid of losing them" Darren said.

Yuzuna looked at Darren glumly. He knows how Darren feels. He approached her and patted her on the shoulder.

"It's okay" he said slowly. "I'm sure we'll be fine."

Darren looked at Yuzuna's warm eyes. That look raised his spirits.

Darren then smiled. "Yes, that's a good idea" Darren said with a thumbs up.

Yuzuna and Rolf smiled widely.

"Yosh, then let's go to the guild!" Bring Rolf in with enthusiasm.

"Come on!" Sahut Darren and Yuzuna together.

"So, what quest are we going to take?" Yuzuna asked Rolf and Darren while looking at the quest lists.

"Maybe, it would be good if we take on an easy mission first" Darren said. "In that way, we can train our cohesiveness. Like: Looking for lost farm animals."

"Skeleton swamp?" Yuzuna UCPA. "Isn't it one of the A-level monsters? We won't be able to defeat him."

"Of course we can. I even defeated him once" Rolf said proudly.

Darren's confused. He had never actually taken a quest before. Even the money he earned was simply the result of hunting all night without sleep.

"What do you think, Darren-san?" Ask Yuzuna.

"Eh... me? I'm confused too" Darren replied. "It's actually my first time taking a quest."

Yuzuna and Rolf looked at Darren in shock.

"Huh!? So, what have you been doing all this time!?" Rolf was surprised.

"Eh. I'm just hunting. No more" replied Darren.

"Geez, it's worth it that you continue to be in bronze" Rolf said.

As the three of them were arguing, suddenly a woman who was a Guildmaster walked past them. He is seen carrying a paper and pasting it among the quest lists.

"Excuse me, I want to ask," Yuzuna called the Guildmaster.

"Yes, what's wrong?" The Guildmaster.

"That's what quest, huh?" Yuzuna asked while pointing at the paper.

"Ah, it is a quest escorting the royal army," replied the Guildmaster. "The royal army plans to go through the forest. But according to the rumors, the forest is quite dangerous. So they're looking for a bodyguard to add combat power."

Darren whispered to Rolf. "Is that why the royal army is here?" Whispers slowly.

"Looks yes. But where are they headed roughly?" Reply Rolf in a whisper.

The guildmaster continued speaking. "This "Quest was given directly by the king, so the pay was very high. About twelve gold coins," said the Guildmaster.

Darren and his friends were shocked. That's a very high fee. By taking this quest alone, the three of them could live without working for two months.

"You're lucky to see it for the first time. If others saw this first, then they would have already taken it," The Guildmaster continued.

Rolf suddenly pulled Darren's sleeve. Nodding his head, he convinced Darren to take the quest.

The forest is very familiar to Darren. From his experience during hunting, he had already memorized every corner of the forest. He had also met many monsters there, so his experience would probably be very useful.

"Alright, we take that quest," Darren said with a sigh. But actually, in the depths of his heart, there was an overwhelming sense of worry.

"Then, you can depart tomorrow," said the Guildmaster as he retracted the piece. "You better get ready from now on."

Rolf and Yuzuna cheered in excitement.

"I hope I didn't make a mistake" Darren said in his heart.

.

The day passed quickly. Darren and Yuzuna return to the inn, and Rolf to his own place. They will rest and prepare for their first quest as a party tomorrow.

Tok.. tok. Darren opened his eyes wondering who. It is now midnight.

"Yes, just a minute" said Darren as he walked towards the door.

Once the door opened, Darren was shocked by Yuzuna's presence. He looks worried.

"Darren-san, can I sleep here?" Ask Yuzuna quietly.

Darren was surprised. "Eh? What's the matter?" Her speech. "Is your room in trouble?"

"No, I was just having a bad dream" replied Yuzuna with a pale face.

Darren can't refuse. Was the dream really so bad that it frightened Yuzuna to death like that?

"h-huh. You can sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor" Darren said as he turned to a carpet.

Swut... Yuzuna immediately ran and pushed Darren into the bed. He hugged Darren without warning. Darren only fell silent from shock at Yuzuna's attitude.

"Darren-san, I'm afraid," Yuzuna said as she tightly hugged Darren's body on the bed. "Please don't leave me!"

Darren then stroked Yuzuna's head. He could feel how smooth Yuzuna's long hair was.

"I want to sleep with you" Yuzuna said, sobbing in tears.

"I-yes, of course I can. You can sleep here" Darren said awkwardly.

"No, not that," Yuzuna said. "I want to sleep with you. On the same bed."

Darren was silent. He did not know the reason why Yuzuna could be like this, but he could feel despair in her.

Darren rubbed Yuzuna's tears slowly.

"Alright," replied Darren gently.

A wide smile was painted on Yuzuna's face. He feels very happy.

"Thank you, Darren-san," he said as he spread out his body along with Darren on the bed.

"My life, it's just a disgrace."

"Even the gods curse me."
