Chapter 130 – Class D Adventurer Kim Katt

With that kind of feeling, I took a break for about an hour and waited for the Hobgoblin friends who might return, but no matter how long I waited, they never came. As expected, there were only 23 animals in the abandoned mine.

It’s a bit like the fact that the kids who went hunting come back in an hour, but as originally contracted, ’20 hobgoblins in the abandoned mine’ were all killed, so the quest ends here.

“I’ve been waiting for this long. Let’s go down.”

At my words, Lina whimpered and lifted her sack. The bag was quite bulky, filled with twenty-three heads, clubs and miscellaneous farm implements and sackcloth.

Will Lina be able to bear her weight with her own weak body her?
However, that is the weight of the lives of those who live as F-class adventurers.

If she can’t handle her weight on her shoulders, she will eventually be crushed and weeded out.

This world is not a kind world that takes care of children just because they are children. Even if you are a thin girl, you cannot receive a fair wage if you do not perform as well as an adult. No wonder.

Be strong, little sister.

“Lina, isn’t it heavy?”
“Oh, no. It’s okay. I’m used to it these days.”
“Then let’s go quickly.”

So we came down the mountain with the same momentum as a raging wave.

If you are lucky, you will be able to return to your accommodation within the day. Of course, if the wagon remains. Without it, I have no choice but to spend another day without moving.

He immediately went to the village chief’s house and knocked on the door.

ㅡ thump thump.
“Hmm?”

After knocking three times and waiting, I opened the door to the village chief.
He observed us for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Didn’t you guys go up in the morning? I thought you’d be back around sunset…”
“The job was easier than I thought. Let’s see.”

Made Lina spill her sack in the yard. Degururu, the spewing out heads of the Hobgoblins scattered across the yard.

“Oh, oh! Hobgoblin!”

Seeing this, the village chief burst into cheers. The village chief grabbed the head that had rolled up to his feet and looked around with a happy face.

“There were a total of 23 of them. The inside of the abandoned mines were all wiped out and returned.”
“As expected, it’s good that you asked the guild! I never thought the problem would be resolved so quickly!”

Afterwards, I talked with the village chief about the possible remnants of hobgoblins, but they didn’t seem to be a problem. He immediately handed over the guild’s document confirming the completion of the request.

“Well, good job. Oh, and a carriage came in the morning. It’s still waiting, so you’ll have to ride it on the way back.”

Fortunately, a wagon is here.
I can go back to my inn today.

“Thank you. Oh, but don’t you have any plans to buy loot or something? A couple of farming tools look useful.”
“It’s a farm tool that has been plundered. There’s nothing wrong with not having it, but unfortunately, I don’t have much money left to spend because I’m requesting a guild… Is it possible to barter?”

Captured agricultural implements were also disposed of. Looking at the shape, it feels similar to returning a lost item, but since it is definitely a spoil, the right belongs to us.

It’s unfortunate that we don’t accept cash, but this is a return for the favor. I decided to take some groceries and hand them over.

“But don’t you need a club? Or the leather the Hobgoblins wore. It would be fun to arm the vigilantes with this.”
“Gladly, you probably don’t need that much. And while it’s fun, I don’t think it’ll help much.”

Just in case I didn’t know, I carefully selected and brought something like a club that looked useful, but there was no way these things would be sold. The same goes for dirty leather. Who would buy this crap?

How should I dispose of this?
As she was contemplating, Lina caught her eyes as she was sorting out the things spilled out of her sack.

“Hey, Lina. Just take all of them.”
“Yes Yes?”
“Take all the clubs and skins for yourself. I don’t think I need them.”

It’s no use just throwing it away, so let’s give it all to Rina while being patronizing. Embarrassed, Lina nodded her head. “Thank you?” She asked with a grin, and she returned her thanks with an awkward smile.

After all, people sometimes donate and that’s it.

“Let’s go back now.”

After greeting the village chief, we headed towards the entrance of the village.

I saw that a wagon was waiting. The coachman waved at us. He must be glad that he had a guest on the way he had to go back anyway.

“Coachman, can you go to Isvant?”
“Of course!”

I immediately paid 30 coppers and boarded the wagon.

“Bastard.”
“Hmm? Why?”

Winia, who entered first, took her seat and glared at me. She looked up, this time she wondered what else was going on, and with her eyes narrowed, she was patting the seat next to her with her hand.

… She seemed to be a sign to sit next to her.

“But I refuse.”
“What?”
“It’s not okay, Winia.”
“Tsk. There’s really no such thing as an asshole.”

She immediately sat down across from her. Then Cloudy came up and sat next to me, and Lina sat next to Winia. Winia turned her head away in displeasure.

Sifal.

“Umm, Katt. It’s nice to be in a carriage. Can we get in before the castle gate closes?”
“Probably not. It’s a little late.”

Said Cloudy, who was sitting next to him.

As he said, even if he said he would return to Isvant today, he would not be able to enter the city anyway if he arrived at night. If you think about yesterday’s traffic times, no matter how fast you go, you will arrive after the sun goes down.

After that, it will be tomorrow morning when I finally go back to the inn.

Kid, bitch. This is why long-distance quests are ambiguous.
Because of the time to come and go, her ankles are caught here and there.

It seems that most of the D-class requests are like this, but even if you pay a lot, it seems that there are many inconveniences in many ways.

Anyway, the carriage started.
It was still daytime, but I was tired because I used up my stamina.

Winia, who had been glancing at me with her head turned, also began to doze off after a while. According to her, Chain Lightning is a bit strong magic, so she says it eats up a lot of mana. It is said that when mana drains rapidly, she gets seriously tired.

I was tired too, so I just leaned my head on Cloudy’s shoulder. So sleep and wake up

“—Have you already arrived?”

When I woke up, the surroundings were dark.

Yes. They reached the city, but the gates were closed and they could not enter. The coachman said he had arrived and insisted on getting off. I got off the wagon while holding on to my drowsy mind and stretching.

“Did you sleep without knowing the world?”
“Because your shoulders are so cozy.”

A yawn came out of nowhere. Looking around, there were lined up here and there, adventurers who hadn’t met the time, and ascending carriages. Everyone is making a fire and getting ready to spend the night. Some of them pitched small tents, while others slept in their sleeping bags.

It is an ordinary night view of the castle wall.

Because there is always a case of being late, I spend the night in front of the wall and go in the morning. Since they gathered together and lit a fire, there was no particular attack from monsters. There are many witnesses around, so they don’t commit too many crimes.

Then we should prepare to spend the night too.

“…Bastard. Go get some wood or something.”

Winia created a small ember at the end of her wand, she said. The fire means that she will make it herself, so she should prepare under it. Immediately she gathered rocks, wood, and kindling from nearby to make a campfire.

After Winia started the fire, she took out the groceries she had bartered earlier and decided to roast them moderately. It is salted meat with a rural feel. She poked a twig in and grilled it, which warmed her body and gave her a feeling of fullness.

She spent the night making a fire in front of the city walls.

***

As soon as morning came, the guards opened the gates.

There were a lot of people, so there was a bit of a long procession. I rubbed my eyes and followed the line into the city. Even though I had slept that long, I was very tired. After all, the quality of sleep is the most important law.

She immediately stopped by the guild to receive her first D-class quest success reward, minus her travel expenses and split it in three. She agreed to just let me pay Lina her wages her. Because he had to take care of her younger sister her as Dori, who became her older brother her.

“Hey, Lini. Take the money.”
“Ah…!”

She tossed Lina a five-cooper coin, which she accepted and thanked her with a nod. It’s just a fair wage payment, but how many scoundrels don’t even do that.

“Thank you, brother!”
“Go away now.”

She waved her hand to Lina. Her girl her disappeared into her city carrying a sack the size of her torso her… Live strong in her mountain her.

“Hey, Winia. Seeing her reminds me of that.”
“What?”

Seeing that, I suddenly remembered something from the past.

“A few years ago, you and I worked together with Renan or something. When I was in F-rank. At that time, it was probably a goblin subjugation quest, anyway.

It was definitely the first time I met Winia in Krasheim. She was supposed to give me 5 coppers per day, but she only gave me 1 copper as a joke. At the time, because of that vicious prank, I couldn’t even eat and slept on the street.

When I think of that time, I wake up and scream.
It’s one of my old traumas.

I don’t know about Winia, but Lena could never forgive that bitch.

I’m always thinking that I’ll give you a slaughter when I meet you, but it’s not easy to see a person’s face in this wide world. I just hope that the opportunity will come.

“…I remember that very well. Then you remember that bastard coming back with some fucking knife after that? And running away?”
“Of course, it’s as vivid as yesterday. And then it wasn’t a run away, it was just a strategic retreat. Anyway, thinking about that, do you have anything to say to me?”

I replied with a shrug of her shoulders, and Winia glared at me.

“Say something? Apologize to a bastard?”
“No, it’s not like that. Seeing Lina reminds me of that moment. It’s because Lena and Lina have similar names. They’re both fucking assholes. In fact, they seem to be the same person.”

In fact, Winia has no special feelings.

It used to be like that, but now her emotions are neutralized by mixing her body her once. Instead, all those negative emotions went to Lena. On this occasion, she should also ask where she lives and what she does.

“…I will not.”
“Ok?”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry bastard. Are you done?”
“Huh? Uh…”

I only stabbed him once, but he apologized innocently.
Something was a little disconcerting.

She came close to me.

“Will it be just an apple?”
“Joe, that’s enough fucking.”
“…I see.”

Having said that, Winia turned her body around.

“I’ll go. See you, bastard.”
“Uh, that, yes.”
“I. I’ll continue to stay at the place I told you about last time.”

Then he walked away.

“…If you think so, come visit me anytime. I’ll be waiting for you.”
“…”

There was nothing I could say to her who left her meaningful words. She looked back at Cloudy, feeling uneasy. She was watching me with a mischievous smile.

“A bastard?”

As she got closer, she was started by the sudden being called that way.

“Ah! Don’t call me that!”
“Whoa, why? Is it only that wizard girl who can call me that?”
“I don’t know, damn it!”

As if to appease my anger, Cloudy wrapped around my waist moved in line with my steps.

“Hmm… Personally, Katt thinks it’s okay for you to follow that kid right now… Would you get angry if you thought about this?”
“Okay. I know. Our Cloudy will have to scold me a little more today.”

Claudy, who smiled deceptively at the word scolding me, said while biting my ear.

“Oh, it’s scary. How are you going to punish me specifically?”

Ha, funny.

“Of course, I have to scold Seol Woon-do with his compass.”
“What-!”

I took a deep breath and sang intensely about whether I would go to Jongno or Myeongdong with all my might. As always, the ending was to leave for Cheongnyangni.

Cloudy was shocked and tried to cover my mouth, but I was a true singer-songwriter who never compromised with anyone when I sang. My song echoed through the streets.

Cloudy’s face instantly turned into contemplation.
He grabbed her by the waist as she tried to walk away and never let go.

Because you were my most precious audience.
