I Didn't Say My Mission Failed (Seeking Readership)

The siblings who had been chased by the half-beasts were stunned by the scene before them!

To be honest, the young girl had been so captivated by Yoru Machi's good looks earlier that she had absentmindedly brought him back to the village.

But upon seeing the dozens of half-beasts rampaging through the village, and the scene that resembled a living hell, she instantly snapped back to reality, even regretting her earlier actions.

Half-beasts weren't unbeatable monsters, but how could Yoru Machi, just one person, deal with so many of them?

As she watched Yoru Machi walk alone towards the village, the girl had thought about rushing out to stop him multiple times. However, before she could act, three half-beasts roaming outside the village had already charged at him.

What the girl didn't expect, though, was that the half-beasts, who were large enough to collapse houses with a single punch and far too much for three to five adult humans, were so easily killed by the handsome Yoru Machi!

And it wasn't just one half-beast that was instantly killed, but three. Even though the girl had watched the entire time, she was still completely bewildered as to how those three half-beasts were slain.

In her sight, she only saw the three half-beasts charging ferociously at Yoru Machi, and then in the next second, they had instantly turned into scattered pieces of flesh.

Seeing Yoru Machi effortlessly kill the half-beasts, the girl hiding behind felt no fear; instead, her body trembled with excitement.

These half-beasts had destroyed their home and killed their parents. Now, seeing them die tragically by Yoru Machi's sword, a sense of revenge and satisfaction surged within her.

Before the girl could savor her excitement for long, she saw dozens of half-beasts swarming towards Yoru Machi. As she clasped her hands together, worrying about Yoru Machi once again, the scene she had just witnessed unfolded.

"Alright, everything's settled. You can come out now."

After a single Thunder Roar Cannon instantly annihilated all the half-beasts rampaging through the village, Yoru Machi spoke to the siblings hiding behind.

At this moment, the siblings looked at the crater over tens of meters in diameter on the field, with lightning still crackling around its edges, their emotions clearly not yet fully settled.

"Brother Yoru Machi, you're not a Rank S adventurer, are you!"

The girl looked at the handsome white-haired man before her, her expression filled with gratitude and admiration. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also incredibly powerful.

Not only had he saved them earlier, but he had also avenged her. According to the usual fairy tale version, would this handsome big brother take them far away and live happily ever after?

The girl, who was just entering young adulthood, had her affection for Yoru Machi skyrocket after his series of actions. It was quite normal for a young girl in love to have such thoughts.

However, to the girl's disappointment, the handsome white-haired man before her was a complete straight arrow. He completely ignored her expectant gaze and said, "The half-beasts in your village should be all the ones I just took care of.

You can continue living here from now on, and I need to report back to the guild."

Hearing Yoru Machi's words, the girl, holding her seven or eight-year-old brother's hand, looked at the devastated village with a dejected expression.

Although not explicitly stated, the implication was clear: now that only two young children were left in the village, how could they continue to live here?

"There's a cellar in the farm to the left of your village. I sensed the presence of many people there, so they should be survivors from your village. You can go back and find them.

If you have any future requests, you can find me at the Adventurer's Guild in Mag Town. I'm an E-rank adventurer there.

Of course, I charge for subsequent requests. This time, I'll let it slide."

With that, Yoru Machi left without looking back. The girl, still standing in place, watched Yoru Machi's receding figure, her expression filled with a sense of loss.

There was indeed a Mag Town nearby, and it was quite prosperous, but the girl couldn't believe that someone as powerful as Yoru Machi was only an E-rank adventurer.

He probably said that because he didn't want her to find him...

Despite the many disruptions, Yoru Machi returned to town the next day, arriving at the Adventurer's Guild dusty and travel-worn.

Seeing Yoru Machi return safely, the guild receptionist, Miss Sonya, breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly, she had never seen an E-rank adventurer take on A-rank missions, let alone two of them, skipping so many ranks.

In just over a week, the locations of those two A-rank missions were not close; the round trip alone would take at least five to six days. With only one or two days left, there was clearly not enough time to Conquer the Underground Labyrinth and Slay the Poisonous Giant Lizard.

So, naturally, seeing Yoru Machi return at this moment, Sonya assumed that his mission had failed, or that he had only achieved a certain progress and was now back for supplies or to give up.

"It's okay, Yoru Machi. You're still young, and you've only just become an adventurer. Being able to return alive from an A-rank mission is already quite remarkable.

Conquering the Underground Labyrinth and dealing with the Poisonous Giant Lizard are not easy feats. Perhaps we could try taking on a Rank B... Oh no, a Rank C or D mission?"

As a receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild, Sonya was no stranger to adventurers failing their missions.

Yoru Machi was a novice adventurer, and he possessed such strength. However, his first outing had ended in failure. Sonya was worried that the promising Yoru Machi might become discouraged, so she proactively offered words of comfort.

However, upon hearing Sonya's words, Yoru Machi looked puzzled and asked Sonya, "Miss Sonya, what are you talking about? I didn't say my mission failed. I'm here to complete the registration procedures and collect my mission reward."

"That's right, that's right. Not many people can complete A-rank missions. We... What! You said you completed the mission and are here for registration?

'Conquer the Underground Labyrinth' and 'Slay the Poisonous Giant Lizard' – you completed which one of those two A-rank missions?"

Hearing Yoru Machi's words, Sonya was momentarily stunned, then looked at Yoru Machi with a look of surprise and asked.

"Naturally, I completed both. Why else would I have taken on both missions when I set out?

Here are the mission completion certificates. Please help me register them, Miss Sonya, and also settle my reward."
