Chapter 206 – The Sorcerer’s Cunning and Shallow (6)

“Thank you! Come again!”

I was greeted by the clerk and left the store.

I was able to finish shopping earlier than expected. Because it is a downtown area with banks, there are several shops.

The clerk’s attitude was also pleasant and kind from the beginning, and it seemed that the neat clothes had the effect.

If he had been wearing his usual, rugged, old adventurer’s attire, he would have hesitated even entering the store. Because there is such a thing as a dress code. She was honestly a bit annoyed when Ariel was formal, but she did well to keep quiet.

Rebecca, no matter how good she is, she was a super butler before she was a super assassin.

After I left the store, I checked the eyes around me.

Okay, no one’s watching, right? Then you should put it in your inventory.

Done. I can’t wait to see what the kids will look like.

Anyway, the next one is a present for the Holy Sword. She doesn’t know what he likes yet, but she’s obsessed with eating, so she won’t be okay with snacks…

“Uh?”

I heard a questioning voice next to me and reflexively turned around to see a familiar face. No, to be precise, a face that happened to meet a few times.

So who was that? Among the idiots in the clan saying ‘La’… Priest!

There was a priest who wore a bold side-slit robe with sadly innocent eyes.

“Uh? Uh huh?”

But the priest just tilted his head while making a strange sound. Does anyone know this? A long, worried expression.

“Hello?”

“Eh? Oh, how are you? There, uh… Uh… Leh, the person who goes out with Lenny unni… Right, right?”

“Yes, that’s right, but… “

The priest blinked his eyes several times and stuttered. Have you ever messed around like this before? For some reason, my face seems to be a little red.

However, it’s a bit absurd to say that he went on a blind date only after listening to his impression of him.

Is my impression that weak? If you saved me twice, wouldn’t you remember it? Is there such a thing as facial recognition disorder?

“Um, somehow the atmosphere is… ?”

What was the atmosphere like? Not only was the priest unable to speak, but he was unable to properly face him. He just glanced at me out of the corner of my eye. Does this woman have something to say?

“Well. So…”

“Oh, eh, it’s Emily.”

Emily was the first to tell me her name of her. Yeah, I won’t forget it now.

“Ah, this is Eugene. How did things work out with the witch? His atmosphere his was no joke.”

If it had been before being eaten, I would have known, but after being eaten, my impression of witches changed a bit. That witch, for some reason, I feel like she may have done something lewd instead of scolding these idiots.

“Ah, yes, yes, thank you…Sir, sorry. We were supposed to thank you later, but we weren’t in a hurry…”

“Ah yes…”

I’m not giving you an exact answer. Well, I can’t tell you that something happened. But I just wished I had money, was that something worthy of being thanked?

“… ” “… “

Emily just stared at her in silence. No, it feels like she’s staring blankly at me rather than noticing. But I have nothing more to say.

“Oh, um, nice to meet you. Then next time…”

“Ah, me, over there!”

“Yes?”

“Right. Uh, how is your sister?”

“Yes. What…”

Emily glanced up at me and continued her words.

“Hey, so, uh, there’s a high-ranking priest named Kate at the novitiate where my sister and I were together.”

I remember Kate. She was the sharp-eyed director of the training camp, where Lenny hadn’t graduated.

“Zee, she contacted me last time because she had a question, but Lenny unnie didn’t contact me regularly… She’s worried. I wonder if the grace of the goddess was not a temporary phenomenon…”

“Goddess grace?”

“Uh, that’s the word for divine power.”

“Oh, that won’t be a problem.”

Lenny’s divine power is overflowing. It’s because she poured it full even early this morning. But Lenny didn’t contact her? I think she said last time she contacted me, but was it mixed up?

“Hmm… It seems there was a mistake. I’ll let you know for now.”

“Ah yes. Thank you…”

Anyway, I had nothing more to say, so at the moment I was about to say goodbye, Emily closed her eyes tightly as if she had made up her mind and shouted.

“I-I’m sorry to say this, but could you please help us?!”

“…Yes?”

# # #

“Uh, so you’re asking me to join the quest together?”

“Yes, yes.”

A nearby cafe that I entered because I was standing and talking. Emily still couldn’t meet her eyes on her, but she seemed calmer.

“Did you know there was a Distortion recently?”

“Distortion?”

“Ah, what a Distortion is… “

Emily explained the Distortion. As the dungeon structure changes little by little, new mappings, new hunting grounds, new jobs, etc. Are created. Is this a story you all know?

“You call that a distortion? The guild doesn’t say that.”

“Ah, for the guild, there, it would be more appropriate to use the official name. Come to think of it, Distortion seems like a word that only we use. Yes…”

Right. Instead of the long word ‘change of dungeon environment’, it is simply called ‘distortion’.

“I know roughly what it is because I experienced it last time.”

When I told her to get to the point, Emily blushed. She’s ashamed to die, but she somehow gets her words out of her mouth in her.

“I, I, we made a few mistakes last time, so we got kicked out of regular quests. I could have continued if I was punished by the witch, but I guess that’s why…”

Bee What punishment was the witch trying to punish? What kind of punishment is it to refuse regular rewards?!

“Ah, anyway, so, the priority of the clan quests was pushed back… “

Emily was gibberish, but she could still get the gist of it.

So, if you belong to a clan, you can basically receive quests that are easy and reward good, but because you make a few mistakes and your evaluation is reduced, you can no longer receive the benefits given by the clan.

Even in this world, personnel evaluation is strict.

Anyway, that’s why, instead of accepting quests through clans, he decided to accept quests directly from the guild.

“Is that okay?”

“Yes… Well, we have no choice but to do that… Because we were behind quite a bit… “.

Emily then glanced out of her window. His eyes were on the area where the banks were concentrated.

“I had a pretty big expense last time…”

As Emily said, she took turns squinting at the bank and at me.

….I have no money.

Come to think of it, I sold Zico to him. How much did she sell for? A little pricked by conscience If he had sold anything other than Zico, he would have been indifferent.

“Uh, um. Let’s think about it. But what kind of quest is it?”

Emily looked visibly relieved and then began her explanation.

What Emily was talking about was some kind of… Kidnapping quest.

It’s about going deep into the dungeon and checking out the habitats of some monsters, she says. It’s great if you can capture even the young or the eggs. Because the client was an arena, the compensation was hefty.

“Originally, this kind of work doesn’t come down to us, ah, that is, ordinary adventurers. By the way…”

Quests for monsters to be delivered to the arena – confirming their habitat, selecting objects, capturing them, etc. Were the responsibility of the adventurers contracted with the arena, mainly tamers.

“For some reason, the tamers say they can’t talk. They say that they are stuck in their houses and won’t come out, and that even those who are bound by contracts act like that, so it’s quite difficult in the arena.”

“…”

It’s a tamer.

I suddenly remembered the guy who had brought the ostrich before. He’s the one who showed me the taste of rabbit on a hole. Is he playing rabbit daughters? What if you spread it to your colleagues?

Oh, maybe not There’s no way such a terrible thing could happen.

“Hmm. You know the situation well.”

“Ah, I heard about it from the clan. The guild doesn’t even talk about things like this…”

That’s right. It seems that the guild protects personal information in its own way.

Anyway, it’s a quest. A quest to kidnap an egg or baby!

If the subject wasn’t a monster, it would be a criminal act, but this priest talks about it well.

Well, if it’s kidnapping the offspring of goblins, I won’t be stung by my conscience too much.

It’s disgusting when you think about it, but it doesn’t sound like a bad thing either. Maybe it’s a good thing These guys are dumb, but they’ll have more experience than our party.

“…Let’s go back and talk. Where can I contact you?”

“Ah, uh, here… “

After breaking up with Emily and buying snacks for the Holy Sword guy. I found Ariel almost stretched out in the bank’s waiting room.

“Are you done?”

“Ugh. Did you come…”

Ariel looked a little dangerous.

Why, do you have that feeling? The kind of scene where she gets drunk on a busy street at night and can’t control her body her. Ariel wasn’t quite like that, but the dazed look on her face made her look quite dangerous. Somehow, her ears were a little red, and her breath was a little hot.

“Uh, are you okay? Did things go well?”

“Okay. Now, there seems to be no problem with financing. Rebecca will be able to relax too.”

“Right. But you don’t look very well. It’s okay?”

“Hmm… Not much to worry about. Because I’ve already experienced it once. But the other person couldn’t come to their senses.”

“I see… “

As Ariel said that, she snorted in laughter. She keeps her expressionless and she gives off a smile, she’s good at it.

But did she lose her mind? What the hell did this guy do? Had he been framed as a rapist like I had been?

Earlier, there was talk of a tamer saying that he couldn’t keep his door shut, so maybe I’m poisoning the other world…

In the thrill of what I had done, Ariel spoke first.

“You seem to have finished your business. Then let me go back.”

“Okay. But you…”

“Something?”

“…”

You are no panties now Is it okay if I go as is?

I couldn’t bear to say this. It was too shameless for me to make it with no panties and point it out.

“Nothing. Let’s go back quickly.”

“I see… Is something going on? You seem to be in a good mood.”

“No, just.”

No big deal. I just wanted to know what the kids who would receive the present would look like.
