“Hmm, there aren’t any good requests, are there?”
“But raising the difficulty too much is also dangerous.”
Yeah. I’m not seeing anything. Let’s move on quickly.
“Ah, Lady Evelyn. It’s Cladfield-kun.”
“Oh, really. Hello.”
“…Hello, Lady Evelyn, Kalinka-san.”
I decided to move my body today. I also wanted to thank Iserina-san for introducing me to the blacksmith, so I decided to show my face at the Adventurer’s Guild.
“…What are you two doing?”
“We’re checking the requests. Although at this time of day, there aren’t any good ones left.”
“It would be nice if there were some additional requests, but all that’s left is to collect Dreg Magic Stones from the Standing Request.”
“Not that… well, I can tell by looking at your outfits.”
I’ve heard that some knights also work as adventurers, and it’s not uncommon for nobles to be adventurers. I had heard that, but… I never imagined that a young lady of the same age as Young Lady and from a marquis family would be an adventurer.
“Fufun, what do you think?”
“We put a lot of effort into it, didn’t we?”
A large-brimmed triangular hat and a robe that looks just like one, it’s the attire of a mage.
Kalinka-san, her attendant, is wearing slightly heavy armor with a large shield on her back. It’s equipment called a heavy knight or shield knight.
“Lady Evelyn, it looks great on you.”
“Thank you. I’m happy.”
“What about me?”
“…Do you want to be praised for your armor?”
“Like ‘gallant’ or ‘cool’?”
“I’ll say it if you want me to?”
“Sorry, I’m just kidding.”
Maybe it’s because we’re outside the academy, but she’s frank. Well, so am I.
“Ah, Claffy-kun. Over here, over here.”
““Claffy-kun?””
Ah, it’s Iserina-san.
“Yes, I’m coming now. Well then, see you both at the academy.”
Leaving the two who seemed stunned behind, I was led by Iserina-san to the back of the Guild. I was guided to the usual private room.
“Are you acquainted with those two?”
“They’re classmates from the academy. I told you before that I’m serving Cybarossa, didn’t I?”
“Oh, that’s right. Well, whatever. Are you leaving something for me today?”
“I’ll leave it if you have any requests. And I want information about hunting grounds. I want to try out the new dagger I got.”
“Tonkakke-kun’s place was good, right?”
“Yes. I was treated very well. Thank you for the introduction, Iserina-san. Here, these are thank-you cookies.”
I took out cookies from the bakery from my Spatial Storage and handed them over.
“Thanks… I’m gradually getting used to you using Spatial Storage so casually.”
“I’m aware that it’s quite rare, but in the end, it’s just magic.”
“I hardly ever hear about spatial magic users… but to take out cookies from it.”
“It all depends on the user.”
I’m sure there were people who took out even more ridiculous things.
“Well, whatever. For requests in or near the Black Forest… do you have any One-Eyed Treant eyeballs?”
“We have them, but they haven’t been dismantled.”
Checking the stock situation in my head, I know that I have the monster she mentioned.
“Have you ever dismantled one?”
“Yes, I have. Do you need just one?”
I’m a child of a hunter from the countryside, so I’ve been taught all sorts of things, including dismantling.
“If you can, please do. The eyes and root parts are especially valuable, and of course, I’ll buy the Magic Stone too. The body’s wood is also a purchase target, so if you do it carefully, I’ll give you a bonus.”
“By the way, how much?”
“If it’s complete, it’s 350,000 Wica. If you dismantle it and the condition is good, I’ll buy it for 400,000.”
“Understood.”
“Then take out the monster and put it in this bag. The dismantling area is in a separate building outside.”
Moving from the private room to the dismantling area. The village was the same, but it has a unique smell.
“Once you scoop out the eyes, transfer them to this container. You probably don’t have the tools to cut the roots, do you?”
“I have something similar, but I’d like to borrow them if I can.”
“…Okay, understood. Would a spoon for the eyes and scissors for the roots be okay?”
“That’s fine. Should I remove the branches and leaves?”
“Please do.”
“Then I’ll need a saw too.”
This guy’s branches are incredibly hard.
“Fuh-huh-huh, a Mithril saw!”
“You have good stuff again.”
As expected of the Adventurer’s Guild.
That being said, it’s great that they have tools that can be used quickly. Freshness is important for dismantling.
Place a cloth on the table and place it so that the eyes are facing down. Tap it a little harder from behind to drop the liquid filling the area around the eyes.
Now, turn the eyes upward, drop the liquid, and insert a spoon from the left and right into the empty space, lifting it slowly so as not to crush it. It has a certain amount of elasticity, so it won’t be crushed if you don’t apply too much force, but it’s a task that makes you cautious.
“Oh, you were here, Iserina.”
“Yes, yes? What’s wrong?”
While I was steadily proceeding with the dismantling work, a stern-looking man from the Guild reception appeared.
“There’s a request from the Knights Order. They want someone who can handle B-rank. They want you to come if you can.”
“What kind of case?”
“A Stun Manta has appeared on the southern highway.”
Stun Manta? I’ve never heard of that monster in the village.
“Again? Don’t they have a nest somewhere?”
“Yeah. This time, in addition to extermination, it’s a request that includes investigating the cause… and solving it.”
“Flying monsters are a pain. Their strength isn’t much, but the range of bows is inevitably… Claffy-kun, are you free after this?”
“Eh? Me?”
“Yes. If you’re Sieg’s child, you can use a bow, right?”
“Well, I lived in the forest, so, what’s a Stun Manta?”
“It’s a flat, flying fish monster, about three meters big. It flies in the sky and spits paralyzing saliva to immobilize its prey before attacking.”
“Sounds troublesome.”
“It is. The Magic Stone is D-rank, but the subjugation difficulty is C.”
“Huh? But it’s B-rank, right?”
“Extermination alone is C, but it includes further investigation. By the way, you’re dismantling something rare. Did you get it yourself?”
“Yes.”
“The dismantling is also careful. As expected of Sieg’s child.”
“Do you know my Dad?”
“Sieg was strong. Quite some time has passed since he left the Royal Capital, so the number of people who know about him has decreased considerably.”
He was active here about twenty years ago, wasn’t he?
“If his child can bring in A-rank monsters, then his strength is sufficient. Iserina, what about this guy?”
“I put him at 6th grade.”
“Then he can do it. What about the others? Twin Wings should be back.”
“Should I try calling them? Others… I’ll go around to a few taverns and check.”
“I’ve already sent them out.”
“Oh? Then it’s easy for me.”
“Yeah. The south has a lot of small fry monsters, so there are a lot of new people here, and there’s a lot of merchant traffic on the highway. The Knights Order is also sending out guards… the money is quite good.”
“I’m sure they know where to spend their money. I’ll go change. So, Claffy-kun, can you accept it?”
“I’ll be fine if I can get back by night.”
Today, I originally came to move my body, so I’m not wearing servant clothes but casual clothes. I told the guard leader that I would be active in the Guild, so there’s no problem.
“Then finish the dismantling? Oh, here’s the money. You can leave the materials on the desk. Bogart, please clean up.”
“Yeah, I’ll have someone do it.”
“Thanks.”
“Thank you.”
All that’s left is to remove the branches, so let’s finish it quickly. That’s what I was thinking, but Bogard-san said he would take over. And he told me to bring a bow and arrows.
Ah, that’s right. I don’t look like I have them.
