In the end it went smoothly, so we arrived at today’s accommodation earlier than planned. Before taking a lodging, we checked with the coachman about certain things.
“Excuse me, but what should I do with the prey we killed on the way?”
“You guys killed it, so it’s yours. You can do whatever you want.”
“Thank you, Sir. We’ll go and sell it to the guild after we secured a lodging then.”
I hadn’t asked about what to do with the prey we had defeated along the way, so I confirmed just in case. Apparently, the person who defeated them had the right to it, so I decided to sell it after this.
Before that, we have to secure a lodging, but there is a bit of a problem here.
“I’m sorry, there’s only one room available.”
It seems that there are many tourists who go to the cherry blossom viewing festival like us, so the inns are full everywhere. Those who don’t have money are saving money by staying in the tent area.
“Does it have two beds?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. I’ll take that room then.”
“Shiro will sleep with Shun-oniichan!”
While I was wondering what to do, Sue and Shiro went through the procedure in no time.
“Sue, are you okay with staying in a room with me?”
“Yes, it’s not a problem. It can’t be helped in this case after all.”
I checked with Sue just in case, but she said there was no problem.
Well, I guess I’m perceived as a completely safe person.
Of course, there’s Shiro too, and I won’t do anything weird.
After that, we head to the adventurer’s guild in this small territory to sell the prey we killed along the way. The guild here had various facilities attached to it, and it was compact. There was also a tavern next to the guild, and a few adventurers were drinking there.
In the meantime, we move to the guild reception. The receptionist of the guild here is an aunt.
“Excuse me, I’d like to sell the prey we killed on my way here.”
“Oh, wait a minute. Dear, there’s a customer.”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
Is this guild run by a married couple?
The aunt called out to the back. Then came a big bear-like man.
“Wow, you’re huge.”
“Hey, Shiro! Oh, I’m sorry for that.”
“Hahaha, I’ve been called that for a long time so I’m used to it. Well, compared to the little girl, I’m indeed huge.”
Shiro honestly spoke what she thought, but the uncle laughed and did not mind. He looks rough, but he seems to be a very good person.
“Hoh~, this is a neat job. It’s beautifully treated and the blood is drained perfectly.”
“Ao-chan did it!”
“I see. The slime did it huh. That certainly makes it more efficient.”
Our selling point is with the careful blood removal that Ao takes care of. Therefore, the purchase price is always close to the upper limit. This time too, I was able to buy and sell at a good price.
Then, the Guild Master looked at our adventurer card and seemed to notice something.
“Hoh~, a goblin hunter huh. You guys are so young yet you’re quite capable.”
“Eh? You can tell?”
“Look, there’s a tiny picture of a goblin on the card. That’s the proof.”
“Oh, it was drawn on Shiro’s card too.”
Indeed, at the bottom of our card, there is a tiny drawing of a goblin. It was also drawn on Sue’s card.
“Originally, only high-ranking adventurers earn a title of a Hunter. There is goblin hunter, orc hunter, ghost hunter and many more. Did you defeat the Goblin King or the Goblin General?”
“Oh, yes. We defeated the Goblin General.”
“Shiro knocked it down with a heel drop!”
“I see, as expected. It’s a title for adventurers, separate from the adventurer rank. In some cases, you can be treated as a higher rank, and the number of requests that you can handle will also increase.”
“I see. But I was only concentrating on providing support from the rear though.”
“Logistical and rear support is also important when you’re facing against an opponent at a level that earns you a title. You’re being modest but it’s a good result. You can hold your head high for it.”
“That’s right. Sue-oneechan’s healing magic is amazing!”
“Shiro-chan…… Un, thank you.”
It was originally an advanced course, so this detail wasn’t explained in the beginner’s course.
Also, because of Sue’s healing magic, the vanguard can move as much as they want so Sue’s contribution is not small. But she learned a good lesson, I guess.
After the purchase was completed safely, we all returned to the inn.
“Wow, everyone is drinking.”
“It’s because they are adult already. Shiro can’t drink alcohol yet.”
“I won’t drink. I don’t like the smell.”
When we arrived at the inn, many of the guests were enjoying their meals while drinking alcohol. It’s probably because it’s a small territory so there isn’t much entertainment.
We’re all minors, so of course we did not order alcohol.
Hmm, the flavors are a little strong today.…
Shiro did not say it is delicious either. Well, I guess it is because the food is seasoned to go well with the alcohol.
We eat quickly and decided to head back to our room.
“What’s with that group of brats? A young lady and a little girl with cat ears?”
“They also have a slime as their familiar.”
“I guess they are just some fledgling adventurers who doesn’t know the world.”
“““Gahahahaha!”””
A drunk uncle who looks like an adventurer pointed at us and they all started laughing mockingly.
We are indeed a novice, but laughing in such a vulgar way is not good you know!
Just when I thought so, Shiro and Ao approached the drunk man.
O-oi, what are you two doing!?
“You uncles are so noisy!”
“So? What, are you going to fight me kid?”
“Hahaha, what a bold kid.”
“Hey, you kids should suck mommy’s boobs and go to sleep. Gahahaha!”
“Ugh, I’m mad now!”
“““Gahahaha!”””
Not good!
Shiro and Ao are warning the drunk uncles.
The drunk uncles just laugh out loud even more after hearing Shiro’s words.
When I looked around, apparently, those guys have been making a lot of noise the whole time and are attracting annoyed looks from the other customers.
Oh, it seems that the passengers in the carriage with us think something bad is going to happen next. Their faces turned pale when they looked at me.
“Stop that. You’re making at lot of noise.”
“““Huh?”””
“You guys should stay outside for the night and reflect on your actions.”
A man who seemed to be the innkeeper here stood behind the drunk uncles before I know it. This innkeeper, like the guild master, looked like a bear. He picked up the rowdy drunks by the collar and tossed them out of the inn with ease.
“““Eh?”””
Clunk.
And the innkeeper closed the door of the store. There is a knock on the door, but the innkeeper completely ignored them.
“You too little girl. If someone picks a fight with you, don’t just take it.”
“Ugh, I’m sorry.”
Shiro and Ao obediently apologized to the innkeeper.
Well, they just added fuel to the fire after all.
The innkeeper patted Shiro and Ao’s heads with his big hands before disappearing into the back of the store.
“Shiro, Ao, you have to be careful with that kind of situation. There’s a possibility that they’ll suddenly use a knife or something you see.”
“That’s right. Sometimes, we need to shut up and just let it go. But I know Shiro-chan was angry for me. Thank you for that.”
“Un, I’m sorry……”
Shiro and Ao are still a child after all. I have to take good care of them.
That night, Shiro and Ao had probably reflected on their actions and slept quietly.
