Chapter 085

“Is there something wrong?”

At the Adventurer’s Guild in Comer city, the Guild master Mofisu was sitting behind his desk in his office, letting out a deep sigh while watching the numerous apllication papers in front of him .

The Comer Adventurer’s Guild had two separate floors for accepting quests . Initially, only those of nobility or high status could make a request to the guild . However because the number of adventurers had increased, it became possible even for the common populace to do so . Even so, the second floor was only accessible for the adventerers of rank C and above . It was where the quests with wholesome rewards were located . Because of that a lot people were interested in marrying B rank adventerers . That way they could spend their lives living in luxury .

However this time the conditions were different .

“Guild master am I disturbing you?”

Entering the guild master’s room was the elf secretary, Edda . She served tea for the sitting Mofisu .

“Oh, Suman?”

(Tl note: probably the tea types)

Mofisu drank the tea that Edda had prepared . Just by seeing the colour, it was clear that it was brewed perfectly, it was like one could already taste it . While watching him, Edda asked the guild master, who was stroking his bald head .

“Is there a trouble with the requests?”

“It’s not like that . There’s a request to find a jewel for a merchant’s daughter . ”

“The request is not that bad, we only need to motivate the adventurers . ”

While they were talking, the sound of someone running in the hallway was heard . The one making the noise entered without even knocking .

“Guild master!”

“Adele, why didn’t you knock?”

“Ah, I’m sorry . But it’s important . They have returned!”

“Returned? Who?”

————–

On the first floor of the Adventurer’s Guild, usually crowded with adventurers trying to take a quest, something unusual was happening . There was a crowd that was surrounding a group of people .

“Lalit, how was the new dungeon?”

“If you’re willing to sell me the information, I’ll give three silver coins . ”

“Eckart, will you guide us to the dungeon?”

“I want to experience the thrill, 2-3 floors only . What do you say?”

“Marifa-chan, I love you . ”

Lalit was worried surrounded like that . Eckart was standing while keeping his shield close and Nina was standing behind them . Yu ignored all of the commotion and walked directly to the reception area .

By the way, Kuro was ordered to go back to the mansion . It could cause an uproar if he came and he took Coro and Sukke with him .

“Yu-san, congratulations on your C rank promotion!”

“Thank you Collet, did something happen today?”

Although she was usually full of energy, today her expression was kind of dark .

“Fuwa! Nothing unusual has happened today . ”

“Is that so? Maybe that’s only my misunderstanding . Anyway, please take this . ”

Yu took out a small bottle from his item bag and put it on the table . The content was honey gathered from the 「Giant Bee」 inside the dungeon . Since Marifa had tamed the Queen Bee, hopefully in the future there will be much more supply of honey .

“Wow, this sweet smell, this is honey! Thank you . ”

Of course the other receptionists also had their attention focused on the honey bottle . They would share it among themselves at a later time, since for woman, sweets may even be worth more than gold . Monopolizing Yu’s sweets had become a taboo .

“Yu-san, since you have become a C rank adventurer, in the future, please take the quests on the second floor . ”

When she said that, her body started trembling . For her and the receptionists at the first floor, Yu was their life line when it came to sweets .

“The second floor? Yeah there are quests for C rank and above but in the future I will only go there when I need to . I will keep taking quests on the first floor . It’s also because I’m more familiar with you . ”

Hearing that, Collet was saying ‘banzaiii!’ in her heart and the other receptionist were all giving a thumbs up to her .

“Collet?”

“Ah… sorry . Is there anything else?”

“I want to sell the monsters’ material . Since there’s a lot, I think we better go to the back . ”

“Understood . Please follow me . ”

“Of course . ”

After that Collet guided Yu to a room in the back but before they could enter a woman blocked their path .

Her glamorous body could catch everyone’s eye . Accompanied with her golden hair, she presented a magnificent sight but the best part was her ears . They were long but not like an elf’s . They were more like a rabbit’s ears .

“Nice to meet you . My name is Barbara Blade, I’m a receptionist at the second floor . I’m from the rabbit tribe . ”

“I’m sorry but Yu-san is going to sell his monster materials . Please step aside . ”

As Collet tried to shoo her away, the other receptionists were watching them .

“This time, since it’s a C rank dungeon, the selling of the materials should be handled by the second floor’s representative . That’s why I came to take over . ”

When she said that, she grabed Yu’s hand .

“As the rank rises some materials or items may have curses on them . That’s why it is better to let me, who is more experienced to handle them . ”

Yu felt discomfort when he heard that . Collet could only stand on the side, smiling .

After that, they moved to a special room and Yu took out all of the materials . It imediatelly filled one third of the large room .

“This time you’ve managed to bring a lot of things . ”

Seven appraisers were helping the receptionist and the whole process took two hours to complete .

“This amount… even a major clan can’t gather this much . ”

“Thank you for waiting, the appraisal’s result is complete . ”

Collet was trying to explain but Barbara intruded and spoke on her behalf .

“The appraisal is as follows, 「Ant Soldier」’s shell, 「Yellow Slime」 and 「Green Slime」’s cells, 「Bloody Treant」’s branch, 「Mad Mantis」’ scythe, 「Dragon Fly」’s wings, 「Anemone-noid」’s stems and other rank 5 monsters’ materials, in total 634 gold 8 silver 6 half silver and 3 copper . ”

“Wow… that is a lot . Even divided by 6, each person still gets 100 gold coins . ”

“But we also need to pay for your Black Steel Shield that got destroyed . ”

After that, Yu sent a wink at Collet and she nodded .

“Alright, if there is no problem we will prepare the gold immediately . ”

Yu ignored Barbara and walked towards Collet .

“Collet, since this is a new dungeon, I want to sell the map, information of the trap and various things . ”

“Boy, if you want to do that, you can talk to me . What are you willing to sell?”

“Maps, traps information, and monsters’ details up to 25F . Is that alright?”

“You are free to do that . ”

Lalit noded while Marifa was only looking sharply at Barbara since earlier . Nina didn’t bother to, since she trusted Yu and Lena was sleepy .

“It’s going to be 10 gold coins . ”

“I’m thinking of doing it commission style? For every map sold we will get three silver, please send one silver to Lalit and one silver to Eckart . ”

“Commission? I’ve never heard of something like that . ”

“Even the information of a D rank dungeon is usually 5 gold coins . This time it’s only a C rank, don’t you think it’s too much?”

“You know, there aren’t a lot of C rank adventurers in this town so we might not get that much . ”

“I see . But still…”

“So, are you saying you are refusing? If the guild doesn’t want to approve of my proposal then I can just sell it to my merchant acquaintances . ”

When Yu said that he wanted to sell it to a merchant without the Adventurer’s Guild’s interference, Barbara fell into panic .

“Please wait, the Guild’s rules don’t allow that kind of thing!”

“If it’s like that, then I think that I’ll no longer stay in this city . I’m sorry we couldn’t reach an understanding . ”

That kind of threat made Barbara feel helpless .

Eckart had already taken a distance from them since he was weak to women .

While Yu kept on pressuring Barbara, Marifa had had enough and stepped forward with her right hand, covered by a black glove, outstretched . Everyone was confused but Marifa was going to give Barbara a dekopin .

(Tl note: dekopin is a flick on the forehead)

However before she did that, another person came and gave Barbara a dekopin first .

“Barbara, please tone down your voice . Everyone can hear you outside . ”

“Huu… Miss Edda, please help me . ”

“Yu-san please forgive her . She is still inexperienced . ”

Behind Edda, was the Guild master Mofisu .

“Hmm… don’t worry, thanks to Edda’s sharp hearing I know what is happening . ”

“Grandpa, he is bullying me . ”

“Who is your grandfather?”

After that Barbara was dragged out of the room by Edda .

Mofisu had heard the circumstances and even if it could cause a dispute because of the conditions, he still agree to the terms and the transaction was established .

“I know this is necessary to increase the survival rate of our adventurers and to encourage them to buy the map . The profit will come in the long term . ”

“I don’t care about such things . ”

“Is that so? If that’s the case you shouldn’t have bothered bullying that poor receptionist . ”

“You know, since the dungeon environment is based on nature and has plant type monsters, how about I give you a plant that could help with growing your hair . ”

“Ugh… Thank you!”
