A few weeks later, a squad of three, or rather two men and one half-girl, were training in the forest as usual. Naofumi was not very pleased with himself, because he was distracted by the needles of a wild porcupine.

Andrei sat next to him and checked if the wound was healing well, Andrei himself had become even stronger and knew the levels of his mates, although his level none of them could see him. He knew that Naofumi was now level sixteen and Raftalia was level eighteen. Though they weren't as big, it was enough for good teamwork.

The quiet friendship between Naofumi and Andrew became even stronger and stronger, even though they grumbled at each other and weren't very social with others, but that was what strengthened them. For this reason Naofumi trusted Andrei and after a while told him and Raftalia why he had been slandered and in what way. Andrei wanted to kill the princess, the king and the rest of the heroes. He didn't tell about his secret, but he promised himself that one day he would tell the truth and they would change the kingdom together with Naofumi.

At this thought Andrew smiled and wanted to make fun of Naofumi, but at that moment Raftalia came up to them and began to speak.

- Brother Andrei, Naofumi-san, there are no more monsters in the area. Let's go to town. -

Naofumi looked at her and started to answer.

- Yes, we need to exchange trophies and we could use some food. And someone needs to go to the barber. -

Andrei grinned a little, and then started to answer.

- This is coming from a guy with hair like a hedgehog who was woken up in the middle of the night. -

Naofumi grinned this time, and Andrei looked at Raftalia again. She was different, more mature, like a young girl, not a little girl. Every time Andrei realised this he was surprised and happy for her, but he was a little worried that Naofumi couldn't see it and couldn't taste the food.

For the moment, he stood up to his full height and began to speak as well.

- Well, let's go. We'll just have to stop by Erhart's place. Your sword, sister Raftalia, will be broken soon, you need a new one, and you must be hungry. -

Raftalia blushed a little and immediately started to answer.

- Not at all, I'm not hungry at all, brother Andrew. -

But as soon as she said that, her stomach rumbled and Raftalia lowered her head. Andrei and Naofumi laughed a little and the three of them went into town.

When they got there they exchanged their trophies, had a light snack and then came to Erhart. He looked at them and immediately began to speak.

- Oh, look who I see. I see little Raftalia has become even bigger, just a beauty. And Andrei, you know, it looks good on you. By the way, how are the blades? -

They came up to him and Naofumi started talking.

- We're glad to see you, too. We've come to make you some new clothes. We have money, what can you offer? -

Elkhart smiled and came out from behind the counter and pointed to a large golden armour. The trio looked at them and were not much against it, then Erhart offered to customise the armour, everyone liked this offer and before starting the work Erhart approached Andrei and started talking.

- Do you need to replace the blades or just sharpen them? My forge is always at your disposal. -

Andrei thought for a moment and began to answer.

- Perhaps they should be cleaned and sharpened too. The swords must be of good quality. -

Elhart nodded and they went into the smithy, where Erhart took care of the armour and Andrei the swords. He cleaned them, sharpened them and put some more dexterity and fury into them. When they had finished their work they went out to Raftalia and Naofumi. Andrei went straight to Raftalia and looked at the sword she had chosen, then began to speak.

- I think this sword is good for you, it's hard, sharp and good to hold. -

Raftalia smiled and began to answer.

- Thank you Andrei, but in my opinion you won't find anything better than your blades. -

Andrei stroked her head and began to answer too.

- It's not only about my swords, the main thing is the skill of the one who wields the sword. Someday you too will become as strong and fast as me. By the way, let's have a look at Naofumi. -

They turned and looked at Naofumi, who had already put on his new armour, which Elkhart called barbarian armour. Naofumi scratched his head and began to speak.

- You seem to want me to have a bad reputation yourself, by the way, do you know how to find out when the wave starts? -

This interested Andrei and he and Raftalia came closer. Erhart returned to the counter and began to answer.

- Didn't anyone tell you, but yes. Well, there is an hourglass in the church that counts down to the wave. It's not forbidden to enter, but if anyone tries to harm the clock, they'll be labelled a criminal. -

Andrew, like Naofumi, agreed with Earhart and the three of them walked towards that church.
