Chapter 2 – Kobold Hunt

“Yes?”

I wondered if it was someone inviting me to a party, so I turned around and saw a short nun with red hair standing there.

Looking at the nun’s uniform she was wearing, it must have been the [Gwangmyeong Star Cross Society]. There are so many churches that worship different gods in the city, so it’s confusing, but when I saw the overall blue clothes and the shape of the cross necklace, it seemed right.

“Are you looking for a party?”
“Yes… It is.”

The nun’s face looked strict and serious, a bit out of step with her short stature. Anyway, the nun asked me with that face. She was very polite, so she raised me too.

And she scanned quietly.

Who was this baby… She was the first person to see. When going in and out of the guild, even if people don’t know her name her, her face her is bound to remain in their memory her, but the nun in front of her was a completely new face.

If it were a short nun with such characteristic red hair, she would have left an impression on her, but since she has no memory of seeing it at all, she definitely seems like someone I’m seeing for the first time.

Is this your first time at the Adventurer’s Guild?

Just looking at them, they look young, which makes them look like minors. By my standards, I was a child, but in this crazy world, I am an adult even when I am old enough to enter middle school. An unbelievably barren world. Apparently she had become a nun doing her part at that age. Just like all priests in this world do.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Elise, a low-ranking nun belonging to the Church of the Light and Star.”

The nun first introduced herself.
She also received the Kwangmyong Star Cross.

I also introduced myself.

“Ah, I’m Katt, an E-class adventurer. I wonder if the nun wants to have a party with me?”

When you earn a living as an adventurer, there are times when you work together with nuns and priests, but like religious people in this era, most of them were psychos that could not be saved.

Among them, I’ve heard rumors that the members of the Kwangmyeong Star Cross Society stand out by far and are famous for the puppies that Mattangi has gone to. I’ve never seen it, but that’s what rumors say. Of course, it could be an exaggerated rumor, or rather, a reduced rumor.

Would you like to party with me?

“…Hmm. Excuse me, but I’ve been looking at it for a while, but I couldn’t find a job. Is that correct?”
“Ah, yes. That’s right. There was nothing left.”

Hearing that, I got a little embarrassed and scratched the back of my head. Heat rises in the face What the hell was this nun looking at? Well, by the standards of this world, my looks tend to draw a little attention. Mainly because of the color of her hair in her.

“Then why don’t you have a party with me? I have a good job.”

She spoke so boldly that she almost jumped up and asked for a handshake.

I can’t work now, so I’m going to die, so this kind of salvation…?

I’m not in a position to hide anything because my throat is grape juice, but I was a little suspicious when he suddenly made such a tempting offer. Is this a new kind of organ trafficking or something? My organs have no value.

“Oops. It’s a great welcome to me… But what the hell is going on?”
“Actually, I don’t know if I can call this quest… It’s an order from the church. Are you interested?”
“A church order?”

I’m really curious about that.
I have such thin ears.

“Because I’m not in a position to cover up work. I really want to work with Sister.”
“Ohh… Then let me explain.”

Elise’s unstoppable explanation continued.

“Currently, according to what we, the Church of the Light and Star Cross, for unknown reasons, kobolds are coming out of their dungeons and building some kind of pagan idol. However, it is said that a considerable number of them have been observed , so the church is using my abilities as a low-ranking nun. He said he would test it. He told me to destroy the pagan idol and take the symbol.”

Kobolds came out of their burrows?

That’s a bit interesting

Kobolds are rat-like, bipedal monsters with an ant-like ecology that inhabit only the underground dungeons they create. They have a habit of not coming out of their burrows very much, but it was quite unusual for them to crawl out to the ground and build something. And those bastards are blind in the first place. I know that my eyesight has almost deteriorated due to living in a cave.

Something I had never seen or heard of.
I was a little inspired.

“So I received a down payment from the church, and if the request is successful, I will give you 1 silver as a reward.”
“…!”

1 silver!

I wanted to jump on the spot and shout 1 silver, but I suppressed my screams with superhuman endurance.

1 silver!

What amount is this? One-Q the amount you can earn by clearing 2-3 E-class quests!

Having lost my temper, I grabbed both of Elise’s hands her.

“To?”
“I will do it unconditionally. I must do it unconditionally.

When I shouted, Elise’s expression her, which looked like wood and stone, suddenly brightened.

“Well, well thought out! Join me in destroying the pagan idols!”

Her face her, which seemed innocently happy, seemed no different from that of any normal teenage girl.

They said that the members of the Kwangmyeong Star Cross Society were all bastards who went to Mattangi, you bastards. There was no such thing as a gura. As expected, the rumors of adventurers are not to be trusted. Reliability was close to zero.

“By the way, are there any other party members besides me? Seeing that the nun is doing her best to gather people, she must have gathered a few good ones.”

At those words, Elise hardened.

“Of course, after receiving the order, I have recommended it to many people.”

Hesitate a little bit

“But it was harder to find people than I thought. I don’t know why, but all of them were rejected. So did you say Katt?
“Is that so?”

Hmm, all rejected.

I will.

A new low-level nun wants to party, but who would be the first to join? Adventurers also prefer guys who have seen their faces at least once while traveling here and there, not new faces they are seeing for the first time. It’s a bit like doing something you don’t know what to do with someone you don’t know what he’s doing.

But even if it’s the Gwangmyeong Star Cross, which has a bad reputation, there’s nothing to say.

And the request is not through a guild, but a church order, doesn’t it seem dangerous at first glance?

In other words, it was not a quest commissioned by the church to the adventurer’s guild, but it was like Elise, who received the church’s order, gathered people and made the request herself, but then the guild couldn’t make any achievements. So it’s understandable that other guys avoid it.

“Well, that could be the case. If you seek someone, you will be saved. Let’s try to find it together.”

But no problem.

I don’t think the church is going to let such a young-looking low-level nun do something terribly dangerous.

The number of nuns and priests soon becomes the power of the church, so would you try to kill them by making them a dog? It would be common sense to value it. Is this some kind of thing? I’m thinking maybe it’s the same thing.

“Thank you.”
“Thank you. Then roughly one or four people?”
“Yes? Four of you…?”

Any problem? I was shocked to hear that there were four Elise.

In general, when doing a quest, it is usually appropriate for four people to gather together to clear it. The more people there are, the better, but if you go beyond that, there will be nothing left when you split the request money, and there will always be one trash. However, if you go with a small number of people, it can be dangerous.

So four was just the right number.

However, looking at Elise’s attitude towards her, it seems that four people are not enough.
Maybe we need more people? Quests that large?

I don’t know what the kobolds were up to, but I didn’t think they would need that many people as long as they were working on the surface rather than going into their dens.

“Actually, the down payment I received from the church is 2 silver… Including me and Katt… I think it will be difficult if three people pass over.”
“Yes?”

What kind of bullshit is this

“If you set the request fee to 1 silver per person, hiring two people is the maximum.”

I’m a bit confused here. The angle of the conversation did not mesh.

Doesn’t this woman know the weight of 1 silver now? Or is this quest just that difficult? The opponent was only a kobold. Those who live their whole lives in underground dungeons have almost deteriorated eyesight and can’t see.

Even if they came out on the ground, there was nothing they could do. Unless it suddenly opened my eyes. It’s kind of strange that such bastards come out and make pagan idols, but what can I do? I have no work other than this.

Still, I decided to ask.

“But wouldn’t it have been better to save 4 people with 50 coopers each?”
“Yes? At 50 coopers? Wouldn’t anyone want to do that for such a low price?”

Oh my gosh.

Well, I wanted to see it for the first time, but I just didn’t know the price. If you only live in church, you may not know it well. Maybe he’s a real newcomer, just out of the church and out into the world. It was clear that the hard-headed bastards of the church had not taught them proper economic common sense.

Well, even with that out of the way, I was ignored even if I paid 1 silver, so it wouldn’t be strange if I misunderstood the value a little.

“Uh… Most don’t think so. Well, then anyway, let’s try to find one more. I think a melee or mage would be better.”

Still, since 1 silver is better than 50 copper, I decided to shut up.

Risk taking? Fuck the kobolds. If there is no money, there is no answer other than bragging rights.

Above all, even if it was inside the dungeon, the kobolds outside could not be my opponent. It would be difficult to ignore Jjambab, an E-class adventurer. Kobolds are dangerous because they flock in groups in pitch-dark dungeons where no light enters.

“I guess so.”

Like that, Elise and I scrambled to save the last person. But what could be good? She glanced at Elise and seemed a little sorry that everyone had left before she could finish her explanation of her.

“Fuck.”

But I felt more sorry. No kiddos paid any attention to what I was saying. Rather, it was even blatantly ignored.

“Hey, party with me…”
“Oh, I have a prior arrangement.”

I tried to talk to a kid I knew with a big heart, but I was blown away in less than three seconds. These fucking bastards… I don’t have any friends like this… Isn’t this a totally different world shit?

Even talking to this bastard and that bastard, I had to listen to their gossip.

“That black hair… Isn’t that the guy with the cut?”
“Ah, that’s the word for that torn-eyed barbarian. From what I’ve heard, your skills aren’t great.”
“But can a barbarian come into the city? That’s my question.”

It’s no surprise that he’s now being treated as a barbarian.

It was discrimination that I had been experiencing since I first came to this world. Black hair. This racist trait was invariably characteristic of the barbarians, nomads and savages.

I wondered if I had adapted to it while filming up to E rank, but it’s not bad either.

If you think about it, when I lived as a dog beggar, there were times when I was beaten up because of this.

Still, well, looking at it positively, it’s nice to not be treated as an orc just because you’re an Asian. If Asians were treated as orcs, they would have been stabbed and searched long ago. But I haven’t seen a real orc yet, so I’m not sure. Anyway, chews.

“Nimi’s brawlers.”

Since then, I’ve tried talking to a few more people, but they’ve all been rebuffed.

At this rate, I think I will have to find and use one of the F-class rookies who don’t know anything, but as an old-fashioned person, I thought that F-class was doing something that cost 1 silver on my bus, so I suddenly felt sick to my stomach, so I decided to quit.

How did I get from F to E?
I am originally a narrow-minded and greedy person.

“Kat-sama. We couldn’t save anyone.”
“Me too, damn it.”

The depressed Elise returned. I was depressed too.

Killing time like this endlessly is not in my temper. The time has come to make a decision, Admiral…!

“Okay, Sister Elise! Let’s do it together!”
