Love Live Online: A Bard Grudge
Quest From Old Grandpa
Currently, Renne and Grandpa Zou were inside the merchant's carriage. Previously, there was a mutually beneficial agreement between the two parties and coincidentally, their goal was the same place.
The merchant asked to be protected during the trip because Renne was an adventurer. In return, Renne only asks to be escorted to Hillford Village, where Grandpa Zou lives.
After the night dew came in, the waterhole looked like an ocean reflecting the moonlight. In the sky, constellations gathered, watching and observing all that was below. The stars surround the moon like a sweater that surrounds the body when worn.
The scent of grass and wet soil filled the air. Spruce trees surrounded half the field, and covered the scenery in the distance. The lines on the road were almost invisible, washed away every day, no one wanted to put up lighting on the deserted road they were on.
The warm summer air almost disappeared as night began, the cold air filling the silent darkness. The smell of smoke and firewood wafted in the distance, someone made a bonfire somewhere close by. Smoke floats like a person getting out of bed on Monday morning.
Bird chirping in the background sounds obvious and interesting to hear, various birds respond to each other after every chirped call. The blanket that covered Grandpa Zou's body felt warm but also felt like a nail file, an itchy cotton swab, almost aching to lie on top of it.
The long reeds high near the trees were made to wave by the crisp and slow summer breeze in the distance, the birds were flying constantly, never stopping, he said, even when it's late at night.
After a while of a very soothing and calming calm, Renne was suddenly startled by the presence of a notification window that appeared.

Immediately Renne took out a dagger from her scabbard. At the moment he is taking a step and a movement that a professional player would probably laugh at if he saw it. How not, Renne who used to be a Healer has no experience in the use of daggers.
But he is still trying to protect and complete the ongoing mission. Since the Slime was a jumping and slow moving monster, Renne could easily deal them damage.
One Slime came out of the grass. Simultaneously, Renne ran over and stabbed him directly over the head. Then he again attacked vertically and it did so continuously until the health of the monster reached zero.
When it dies, the Slime turns into pieces of boxes that float in the air and are carried by the night wind that is very soothing.
「Successfully beat Slime.

the Slime Fragment.

Right after, other Slime started popping up. One after another was defeated until finally, Renne achieved a success after struggling.
「Successfully complete the mission.

“Thank you son, you helped enough.” The merchant smiled slightly as he looked at Renne and refocused himself on the road ahead.
“I'm glad to be able to help you.”
In order to fill her saturation, Renne tried to look through the items she had just obtained. Actually there are some items whose own function has been forgotten by Renne because it is so useless.
「Slime Slayer's.

Pros: - Grants 1 point for all existing statuses.

Renne was a little surprised when she found out the information provided by the floating window. A nickname that can be said to be very useful for now. What more if considering he had to kill over hundreds of Slime to level up one level.
After being realized by Renne, he was able to see the existence of Hillford Village very clearly. Even the sound of the song being played can be heard so clearly. Renne, who knew that, became enthusiastic. What else has long been for him to follow a party held, both in the real world and this virtual world.
「Entertaining to Hillford」 Village area
They stopped at a simple house where Grandpa Zou lived. Renne who had an obligation to protect him quickly helped the old man to get off the horse carriage. While the merchant was still waiting until Grandpa Zou landed safely.
The merchant now got off his horse, he then approached Renne and Grandpa Zou who had landed on the ground. Then he gave Renne an even better dagger than Grandpa Zou's dagger.
“Take this, it is not much but please accept as my thanks.”
“Ta-tap—,”
“Already, just accept.” The merchant immediately placed the dagger in Renne's palm and immediately left.
「Receive an item from Uncle Xio Ne.」
‘Even until the second of farewell I forgot to ask his name. Knowing her name from the system does not satisfy me,” Inner Renne while bowing her face.
Renne is now again guiding Grandpa Zou who has a frail body into his simple house. Since Grandpa Zou was living alone, he would definitely have great difficulty in doing everything. As they set foot to go inside, Renne was startled by the stomach voice coming from the old man.
「 2nd, Story Quest.

80 Points of experience.

Renne slightly smiled bitterly. Cooking is something that is hated by her. What's more during his life Renne only survived using instant food because it considers more practical and can save on expenses.
