Chapter 14

"Still, O Ooka. You've returned to the inn quite early."

"Yeah, I know. I just got summoned, and I wanted to take a look around the town a bit."

When they entered the room, there was a large bed, just as the receptionist had said. It would be more than enough for two people to sleep comfortably.

It was still quite early, but they had returned to the inn. There was something they needed to do.

"Yeah, there's a reason for that. I'm going out again, so don't worry."

He placed the magic bag he had been carrying on the floor and started taking things out. One after another, items dropped from monsters, which he had collected while hunting, came out of the bag.

Ten bags piled up in the corner of the room. After returning from hunting, he had sorted the day's items and taken them to the Adventurer's Guild. The receptionist's face had been tense because he came every day.

"What is this amount...?"

"There are quite a lot, aren't there?"

Seeing the amount, the two girls were perplexed. I also thought it was ridiculous when I saw it again. I had been so focused on collecting them during the hunt, but even if I had stopped halfway, it would still be this much.

The Black Orcs had a spawn rate of about one in 25. If I hunted 50, it would be around 1,250. I stopped collecting on the fifth day, but it was still about 6,250 fangs. I didn't collect much orc meat because it was big, but I felt a bit wasteful.

"I was planning to go to the general store to dispose of these. I also wanted to get some clothes for Estelle."

"Oh, you're buying clothes for me? That's great!"

I didn't want to be scolded for buying them in advance. Estelle didn't seem to be as careless about clothes as Noll. It would be better to let her choose.

"So, I can't just take them out of the bag. I wanted to check how much I can carry in advance."

If such a convenient item existed, everyone would probably use it. However, I didn't see other adventurers using it.

So, it would be better to keep it a secret. It would be troublesome if someone asked where I got it.

"Um... how do you plan to carry this?"

"Yeah, I'm counting on you."

"Of course, it's me, isn't it!"

Noll asked with an uncertain voice, and I patted her shoulder. She seemed to have a bad feeling and bowed her head with a scream.

I felt bad because I had just asked her to help with the hunt, but I couldn't carry this much by myself.

●

"Ugh, it's heavy..."

"Keep going, keep going."

"It's not just cheering, I want you to help carry it..."

Noll was struggling to carry the load, and Estelle was cheering her on from the side. We had confirmed that we could carry everything, so we were on our way to the general store. The townspeople were looking at us, wondering what was happening. We were quite noticeable.

I was carrying three bags, but they were incredibly heavy. The bags were about to burst.

Noll, who was walking behind, was carrying seven. She was really reliable.

"Oh, I'm not good at physical labor. Well... I'll cast a support spell for you."

When Estelle waved her staff, light enveloped our bodies. Suddenly, we felt a surge of strength, and the bags became much lighter.

"Wow! This is amazing!"

"Wow, what spell did you use?"

"A spell to enhance physical abilities. It doesn't last long, but it should last about 10 minutes."

She giggled, amused by our surprise.

No, if you had it, you should have used it from the beginning. Still, this spell is really convenient. I want to check how much it enhances later.

"Do spells have levels? Like beginner or intermediate?"

Of course, there are advanced spells and even the ultimate spell, Eternal Force, which sounds romantic.

"I don't know? I don't know the types of magic in this world, but I can change the power of the magic as I see fit. For water magic, I can make a small drop of water or enough to flood a city. Want to see?"

"Don't do it, absolutely don't do it. I'm serious."

"Oh, what a pity."

She started saying something terrifying so casually. She's quite casual about it. I also noticed she didn't chant or anything. I thought chanting was cool, so it's a bit disappointing.

"Welcome back. What's with that amount today?"

"Actually, I've been hunting a bit, and I've accumulated quite a bit. I'd like to sell it, is that okay?"

We arrived at the usual general store and put the items on the floor. The shop owner's face twisted when he saw the amount.

It would be surprising to bring this much. I would be surprised too.

"Are you selling all of this? The contents are... fangs, clubs, and meat. This isn't a little. How many did you hunt?"

"I don't want to see orcs and goblins for a while..."

The shop owner rummaged through the bags and confirmed the items. It wasn't a little, indeed.

Noll responded with a melancholic tone, which told the story of how much they had hunted. The shop owner was speechless.

"I'm sorry, but I can't buy all of this. I can only buy one bag at most. I can't prepare that much money, and if I buy this much, I won't be able to buy from other adventurers for a while."

"I see..."

After rummaging through one bag, he said he couldn't buy all of it, only one bag. It's understandable that it's too much to buy... It's a complete oversupply.

I don't want to be hated by other adventurers. It's also not right to reduce the number of adventurers in Brunne.

"If you can hunt this much, why don't you go to Shuting?"

"Shuting?"

Maybe it's time to visit another city.

"You can probably enter Shuting's dungeon. There are also many stores that buy items there."

"Dungeon?"

"Didn't you know? There are caves where monsters spawn, and they drop rare items. This, for example, is something that has recently appeared."

"What is this..."

The shop owner showed us a pajama set with a cat pattern. Why is this here? Do cats even exist in this world?

It's a bit unsettling that monsters drop such items. I don't know if I want to wear this... but the idea of a dungeon where such items drop is intriguing.

"Oh, it's cute."

"It's good. It seems easy to wear when sleeping."

It seems the two girls liked it. What should I do? Is my sense of aesthetics off? This is something dropped by a monster?

"Do monsters drop such things?"

"Yeah, they drop various items. However, even B-rank adventurers struggle. Well, since you can defeat Cyclops, you might be fine."

B-rank adventurers struggle. Should we gather more strength before going...?

However, we have a mage, Estelle, so we might be fine. Let's think about going to the capital, Shuting, in the future.

"Right... I'll think about it."

We received 750,000G for one bag. ...We really hunted a ridiculous amount.

After that, we bought clothes, including monster-produced pajamas, for Estelle and Noll. I thought, "Are you sure you want these?" but they were happy, so I didn't say anything.
