Chapter 216 – For Elise

Elise and Lina were waiting outside, so I decided to briefly summarize the incident. I didn’t come alone, and it’s late, so shouldn’t I do it quickly?

“Huh…”

Risha was admiring her trophy in detail with her very bewitching gaze. Could it be the gaze of an artisan who can feel it? It was a sticky and captivating gaze, as if a lewd woman ignited by strong sexual desire was choosing a dildo to use from tonight to tomorrow morning.

Specifically, it feels similar to how Cloudy looks at my things.

I was watching so much that it was a bit awkward to break the flow, but I had to talk anyway. I waited for a while, got the timing right, and brought up the story.

“Ugh, uhm! Where do I have to explain this… First of all, the witch asked me to investigate, right? So I conducted the investigation.”
“Uh, huh? Right?”

A reaction as if he had come to his senses.
It seemed that he was quite enchanted.

“By the way, Sifal, this is not an investigation, but a solution.

Putting down the trophy, Risha stared at me.

The original purpose was an investigation, but it suddenly became a solution.
It can be a bit vague to explain.

“As I’ve explained several times, the guys who hid in the back alleys were evil pagans called Eternal Life. They held rallies against the poor and did something very hard. They baptized them… Faithfully.”

In fact, the cultists’ true purpose remains unknown. All we can do is rough guesses. ‘Roughly probably so.’ It was concluded that I couldn’t even interrogate because I searched all over.

“But I’m not sure why I worked so hard, anyway. I’ll explain what I found out today and how it happened.”

I took a moment to organize my thoughts and explained what I saw.

There were cultists and ghouls in the hidden basement. Those bastards were digging a hole in the ground, and we stopped it.

Perhaps the identity of the ghoul was the baptized poor.
This is evidenced by Lina’s grandmother her.

The same was true of the corpse lying nearby.

But the question is, what the hell was that white ghoul giant?

Perhaps the true purpose was not to create the very giant? After experimenting with the poor as sacrifices, he finally created or summoned a giant… Unknown. I don’t know if ghouls are their main target either.

So I only explained what I saw.

What is certain is that they were digging a tunnel using ghouls. I don’t know if that’s the main purpose, or if the giant is the purpose.

We chose to destroy them instead of figuring them out.

I couldn’t investigate, but by doing sabotage, I eventually obtained a trophy that emits purple light, which seemed to be their valuable item, and also annihilated the cultists.

Well, the work itself was done brilliantly.
The actual investigation was a bit lax, though.

“Umm… Yes, that’s right. My curiosity hasn’t been resolved, but it seems to have solved an annoying problem. Thank you very much.”

Risha also said that as if she had some questions about the pagans. I feel a bit regretful that I didn’t find out the truth either.

But the problem itself has been solved.

“And since he’s a giant… I’m interested in that too, but I can’t help it that he’s dead. Anyway, he did a really good job. Then, where should I reward him?”
Hehe, thank you very much.”

Risha took out 10 silver coins of 1 silver as a reward for completing her quest Her. It was a very generous amount. The curiosity was not resolved, but since she killed all the annoying guys, it must be paid for the service.

She put her silver coin into her bosom as she burst out laughing.

“Anyway, witch. This trophy is the real thing.”
“I guess so.”

Risha showed great interest in the trophy.

A dark-colored trophy embossed with bizarre patterns. It was judged that this must be a sacred object of the pagans. In other words, it must be a unique item.

“I don’t know right now… I’m sure, until I came out of the basement, there was a purple glow coming out of it? It made the entire second basement floor look bright because of it. Sifal, it’s so amazing. You have to see it for yourself. That.”

Let’s make the packaging bigger.
I sang of mists the color of amethyst.

“Mer Amton. It was like that. The light is out now. Do you know what it is?”
“No.”

To my question, Lisa gave an apt answer.
I thought I knew something, but I was surprised.

“I don’t know too much about this. I need a little deeper feelings… Yes, how much should I pay for this…”

How much is it?
As I opened my ears and tried to hear the price, Risha added.

“But sales are down because of them these days, so I can’t pay a big price right now.”
“Yeah? Sales are down? What, did they do anything?”
“…There’s something like that. I don’t think you need to worry about it.”

A look that seems reluctant to answer. I guess there is something.

Well, you don’t need to worry about it.
I guess I’m just a bit poor right now.

“In my personal opinion… 40 silver seems like a reasonable price.”

40 silver!
I almost jumped in a fit of surprise!

“But the money I can prepare right away is only half of that. If it’s okay, can I pay in installments? I really want this.”

Risha said while running her hand over the pattern embossed on the trophy. Come to think of it, what the hell does Lisa earn money from? As much as she is a self-employed person running a shop, she should be able to earn that much… She’s a little curious.

Seeing that he always pays me a commission or buys items, it is assumed that he must have a large source of income. But is that a situation made a little difficult because of the pagans?

What is it?

As I was seriously contemplating, I could feel Risha’s gaze at her.
She is looking at me with a smile on her face.

…Read your mind.

Are you saying don’t think about it anymore?

I spoke in a high-tension tone as if to ventilate the atmosphere.

“Where are we trading once or twice? Of course we should! Witch-sama is a special service!”
“Hehe. Thank you.”

Of course, split payments are also possible. Because I had half confidence in Risha and I. Risha replied with a smile, and I stood up.

“Then what, can I come next time?”
“Okay, come next time. I’ll pay the balance at that time.”

So, the total amount of money I got from this job was 30 silver.

If you add up to the remaining balance of 20 silver, you have obtained a whopping 50 silver. Of course, I would have to give half of it to Elise and a little to Lina. Even if you take it all away, you still have a lot of money left over.

I said hello to Risha who picked up the trophy again and came out.

I’ll be back in a few days to get the balance.

“Are you late? Did you wait?”
“It’s okay. It didn’t take long.”
Hehe, is that so? Anyway, I got the money.”

First of all, what I have now is 30 silver, but after explaining that I received 50 silver, I handed over 25 silver to Elise. A truly staggering amount. However, since I was with Elise almost from beginning to end, it was only right to give her a half-thing.

The giant’s heart is a bonus distribution according to merit.

“…Too many. You can’t get this much money for a heart.”
“No, after all, you’ve done more than I’ve done? Not a lot. This is just the right price.”

Elise caught far more pagans and ghouls, and it was also Elise who broke the giant’s skull. Because I didn’t do anything other than getting a mounting cut and a sore neck.

And in the first place, if Elise was n’t by her side of her, she would n’t even think about attacking.

It would be an impossible feat if I had done it alone. Having concluded that, he paid for Lina as well, refusing Elise to return her proceeds to her.

“Now, Lina. Take the 5 silver.”

The money to give to Lina is 5 silver.

If this is the case, there is no money in hand right away. However, since the trophy was stolen in that fierce battle situation, it would be appropriate to take care of this much.

Come to think of it, the money he was pickpocketed was 5 silver, and the money he received as alimony was 5 silver plus the principal. In many ways, the fate that led to 5 Silver.

I believe that this will help Lina recover.

“… Thank you, brother.”
“Yes. Is Rina an F-class adventurer now?”
“Right.”

For an F-class adventurer, 5 silver is a large amount of money that can fix almost anything. If you are F grade, your weekly income is less than 30 copper. In the meantime, if I had acquired a large amount of 5 silver, I wouldn’t have to worry about tomorrow.

“Live hard. And don’t take that money from anyone and hide it tightly. How painful would it be if a pickpocket robbed you?”
“…”
“And don’t break down. Even your grandmother in the underworld won’t want you to fall down. You’ve accomplished your revenge splendidly. Stealing the sacred relics of the cultists means that you’ve inflicted more insult and pain on them than anything else.”
“…Yes.”

After receiving her money her, Lina bowed politely and disappeared into the darkness of her back alley. The dead are the dead, and the living are the living, she said.

Lina will live as a living person.

“Live strong in the mountains.”
“San, are you talking?”
“Just an idiomatic expression. Let’s go too.”

She came out of the ghetto with Grie Elise.

He didn’t have any money right away, but the balance he would receive was 20 silver. It is a larger amount than expected. It’s not enough to pay for the hard work of the past few days. Sounds like you did a good job on this one.

I have to buy what my girlfriends ask me to buy with this.

“By the way, the white giant was fucking big. If we dealt with it normally, we’d be torn to pieces like the cultists. We were lucky. I thought we were really going to die.”

The majesty of the giant was truly mythical. In the blink of an eye, nearly twenty pagans and ghouls were torn apart. It is a powerful enemy that can never be defeated by normal means.

I wouldn’t have been able to do anything if it wasn’t for the chemist.
Fire is also the best.

Long live Prometheus.

One more target to pray for has increased.

“Whoops. That’s not true. I’m sure he would have won by any means.”
“Can you?”
“Definitely.”

Elise said with a smile.

What is the source of that belief? People become strong because they have faith. The belief that you will definitely be able to get through it. And trust in God. That was the reason why religious people in another world were strong.

“I remember the first time I met the saints. At that time, my experience was so low that there were so many things I didn’t know.”
“Um… That’s right. You didn’t even know the value of 1 silver back then.”
“Yes. I have grown since meeting the saints. I am deeply grateful for that.”
“You’re big yourself. What’s that thanks to me?”
“It’s thanks to the saints.”
Hehe, is it?”
“That’s right.”

After talking about this and that, they arrived in front of Elise’s inn. It’s late at night. Even though there was such a commotion in the slums, the city was extremely quiet.

“What, are you going back to church tomorrow?”

Elise felt very sad when she thought about going back to church.

“…Go back, Dara.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“No.”

Elise, who had slipped her words, paused for a moment before speaking.

“There are things to organize, so I plan to stay here for the time being.”
“Oh, really? That’s great.”
“Good job. Is it?”
“It’s a shame we broke up. If we go, we won’t meet again later.”
“I see… The city is definitely different…”

It takes about 3 to 5 days to travel from Iswant to Krasheim. If there were no unexpected incidents, Elise would hardly come.

She paused for a moment and then said hello.

“Anyway, Saints. Thank you very much for today. Let’s go inside.”
“Yes. Rest well. You worked hard.”

After parting with Elise, I also headed to the inn. Maybe it’s because she’s been late lately, but Winia isn’t that angry.

Well, since I made money, they would be happy if I told them to buy me something nice.

I have a strong desire to tell Cloudy about my performance of her. I thought he’d be very happy if I told him the story of the giant’s head being chewed out.

Oh, I’m sure you’ll like it.

Because I like that

Anyway, work is over.
Let’s go home.
