episode_0022

After spending the morning in the forest, I was able to arrive at the outskirts of the city.

It was surrounded by high walls, and the process of checking entry and exit was in progress at the gate.

After being possessed by Hild, I had always lived in a village surrounded by wooden fences, but the thought of being inside such a huge fortress gave me an incredible feeling.

“What is the name here?”

Come to think of it, I didn’t even know the name…

“Hehe. Heald said he has always lived only in the outskirts. This is a city called Lavita. It’s not as big as the capital, Centrion, but it’s still a big city”

Asteria, the land born by the goddess.

Among them, the place where I was born was the Asrian Kingdom. Sir Village was a rural village on the eastern outskirts of Asrian.

If you go to the center from there, Lavita appears. On the way to Lavita, there is a forest where the monsters we passed through live, so relatively few people come to the outskirts…

That’s why everyone was surprised to see Valdena…

As I was organizing my thoughts alone, I quickly reached the checkpoint.

“Please present your ID”

“Here”

Everyone, led by Gordon, presented their ID cards. I also handed over the ID card Gerald gave me before leaving.

The inspection soldier took out a magic tool that looked like a flashlight and fired it at the ID card. A green light came out from the magic tool and it scanned as if scanning an ID card.

“What is that?”

“That? That’s a magic tool that determines whether someone may be breaking the law. People of interest who have committed a crime or are on the guild’s blacklist are given a color to their identity”

“Color?”

“Yes. Yellow means interest, orange means caution. Red is dangerous. If you shine the light of a magic tool on your ID card, the ID with the abnormality will glow in the corresponding color.

“That… I see”

It’s surprisingly systematic, it’s a different world…

It was amazing to learn something I didn’t know before.

No, I was possessed by Hild in the first place, but I don’t know if this guy really only lived in the village…

“You really don’t know anything?”

“… .I’m sorry”

Yes, I’m a hillbilly. I have something to add!

When he answered with a slightly pouty expression and stuck out his lips, Circe seemed to find it amusing and burst into laughter.

“Giggle. Are you upset?”

“No”

“I’m upset, but what? Hilde is so cool”

“No, it’s not”

Let’s wait and argue with Circe. The soldier who had already completed the inspection gave us our ID cards back. Gordon took it as our representative and handed it out to us.

As we entered the city smoothly, a completely different world unfolded.

‘Wow… ‘Isn’t this kind of cool?’

It was similar to the feeling I had when I first traveled abroad. There were various shops and stalls lined up on either side of the well-paved stone road.

Many people were walking around busily, each wearing a variety of clothes.

Let’s look at everything with wonder. Selene and Circe seemed to find that funny as well, smiling and leaving me to wander around.

Ta-ta-tat- Paaat-

At that time, someone suddenly appeared through the crowd.

A mysterious person whose entire body is hidden in a rag-like blanket. The figure came up to me in an instant and inserted its hand into my body.

“Uh… uh!! Crazy my knife! Give me my knife, you bastard!”

I shouted in panic, but the tattered figure disappeared into the crowd.

The sword I had hanging from my waist was held in the arms that were embracing something.

The not-so-valuable sword that Jansen gave me!!

“Such a bad person… !”

“Wait and I will catch you soon”

Selene and Circe each opened their eyes and created auras and magic.

It’s not that important…

I didn’t want to make a fuss so I tried to stop him.

“No. Selene. Circe. It is prohibited to generate more magical power than necessary within the city”

At that moment, Gordon was surprised and came forward to warn them. I looked around and saw that the people in the city were also muttering in surprise.

Selene and Circe chewed their lips in exasperation and apologized to me.

“I’m sorry, Heald… ”

“You Carl… What should I do if I lose it”

The two people lowered their heads with sad expressions.

In the first place, I didn’t think it was a big deal because it was my carelessness and it wasn’t important enough to apologize for.

I smiled and stroked their heads.

Ssuk suk-

“It’s okay because it’s not that precious. The mill man gave me a spare knife”

“Still… ”

“It’s okay… ”

Swish swish-

The two women quietly stuck their heads out to me and enjoyed being stroked. It’s a bit surprising that even Circe is so calm.

“Fuck… ”

“That sucks”

As I continue to pat my head, Gordon and Gayle are swearing behind me. I withdrew my hand because I thought I might get stabbed if I did any more.

“Why don’t you report on the mission?”

After completing a request, adventurers report it to the Adventurer’s Guild and receive compensation and compensation when the request is completed.

Gordon took the lead and we followed behind him.

Perhaps because it was a large city, the adventurer’s guild was quite large. It was a five-story building.

The first floor is a meeting hall for business purposes only, and the second floor is a convenience facility. The 3rd and 4th floors were provided as offices for the Family, a type of group formed by adventurers.

The inside of the adventurer’s guild was literally crowded. As people doing difficult jobs, each person had their own unique weapons.

At times, an unpleasant atmosphere was created. However, there was no one stopping me and it felt natural. It truly feels like a wild place.

Gordon, who was chatting with the office girl at the meetinghouse, returned with four bags of money in his arms. And distributed it to the members one by one. Except me.

“Total 6000 cells. 1500 cells each.”

“Hmm, it’s good”

Gale smiled and accepted the bag of money.

As far as I know, one cell was worth about 100 won. So, it costs 150,000 won each…

I spent a few days in the forest, and 150,000 won doesn’t seem like a very profitable business. Moreover, it is said that subjugating goblins is a fairly easy quest, so the reward is better.

“Why is it divided into four parts?”

“Huh? That’s right, we”

Selene asked Gordon without taking the money bag. Gordon trailed off, glanced at me and then looked away. I guess they originally wanted to say it was a party of four.

“Why are you ranked 4th?”

Selene looked straight at Gordon and asked clearly. Gordon would have been excluded from the settlement list because I was not a regular member but a diner who joined along the way.

If it wasn’t for Selene’s request, the request would probably have been completed sooner.

Although he didn’t show it, he may have thought it was a useless burden. I kind of understood that if you weren’t a famous adventurer, you wouldn’t be able to make much money.

“I’m fine, Selene. To begin with, I’m not even a member of the same party… I’m grateful just for saving my life”

“Still!!”

Selene opened her eyes sharply and got angry, but Gordon and Gale cleared their throats and avoided her eyes. Seeing how people who usually die in silence say what Selene says, it seems like the money is pretty good.

“Stop yelling at people who don’t like you”

“Still oh oh”

“That’s it. It’s true that the request was delayed because we had to save Hild”

“Seeing… ”

Seleneca whined at Circe, but Circe shook her head as if there was nothing she could do. In response, Selene puffed out her cheeks and made a sullen face.

“Well, how about showing some sincerity? Hild was also helpful when fighting in the village. I don’t think I’m much of a foodie”

“Hmm. If that’s the case… ”

“That’s right… ”

Although it was an undesirable sight, they each took 100 cells out of their money pockets and gave them to me. I didn’t say anything and took it with both hands.

“Thank you”

“Yes. You did a good job too”

“That’s right..”

I carefully put the money I received into my pants. Before I knew it, Selene scurried over to me, leaned against me, and rummaged through her pockets.

“I’ll give it to you too. Heald”

“It’s okay…”

Cherrrr-

Without a chance to say anything, Selene lifted her pocket upside down and poured money into my hand. At first glance, the amount appears to be 20,000 to 30,000 cells.

I felt the eyes of those around me momentarily focusing in this direction.

Let me just sit there and watch over you. Selene started taking out more money, wondering if it was a little lacking.

“Okay… That’s Okay! It’s just too much”

“n? But… ”

“But not only that. Now take this again”

I quickly put the money back in my hand.

“Huh? Oh, I can’t do it… ”

It becomes “. It will work”

After a heated argument between Selene, who refused to accept it, and me, who wanted to accept it, Selene had to tie her bloated pockets again with a gloomy look on her face.

It’s my victory! thank god!

“Then let’s meet again later”

“See you again, Selene”

After a brief commotion, Gordon and Gayle parted ways to take care of personal business. It is said that if the party is highly satisfied, they will take a break and then gather again when they receive a request.

“Let’s go too”

“Where are we going?”

Circe was walking ahead, so I followed behind her and asked her a question. She put her hands together and pretended to place them next to her cheeks.

Aw, so cute. I want to kiss you.

“I need to find a place to sleep first. Are you going to sleep homeless again?”

“Please take the lead. Lord Circe”

“What… Hehe, make sure to follow along”

I overacted and led her forward. Me and Circe. Selene walked towards the inn while chatting with each other.
