Chapter 138 – Chapter 138 – New Possibilities

“Hey, Lenny.”

“Yes, Mr. Rant.”

Mr. Leni, whose expression hardened while looking at Mr. Niña, immediately went back to normal when I called… He looked at me with a hopefully softer-than-usual smile.

“So I think it would be difficult to bring out the Orcs and weapons from here with too many.

“Okay. Then, take the weapons out of the warehouse together. Later, the guild will count the number and pay for it. Oh, and Mr. Kelvan has the reward for the corpse you left yesterday, so please pick it up from Mr. .Kelvan when you leave.”

“Yes, Mr. Lenny. It just happened that Mr. Kelvan had something to do.”

“You have something to see Mr. Kelvan… I can’t believe it…”

He nodded slightly and smiled at Lenny, who opened his eyes wide.

“Yes.”

“… Thank you, Mr. Rant.”

Mr. Leni nodded his head at me.

“Then I’ll go see Mr. Kelvan.”

“Yes. You all worked hard today.”

Turning our backs on Mr. Lenny, we headed back to Mr. Kelvan’s table.

“Mr. Kelvan.”

“Hmm? Rant. What’s the matter? Ah, come to think of it, I haven’t paid you for the orc meat yesterday. Wait a minute.”

Mr. Kelvan took a sip of his drink and took his purse from his inventory on the table.

“Hey, it’s a reward here.Hehe, I liked that all the corpses you brought yesterday tasted like dismantling them. Oh, butchers were also delighted with the quality.”

“That’s fortunate.”

I put the money on the table into my inventory.

“Kelvan, there is something I want to tell you.”

“What do you want to say? Ah, are you saying that you’re sorry you couldn’t meet the special monster on the 4th floor like yesterday? Heh heh heh, that’s okay. I was too impatient yesterday.”

Mr. Kelvan said, stroking his beard.

“No matter how hard you are, there’s no way you can meet a special monster that easily. It’s because I was greedy. There’s nothing to be sorry about…”

“No, that’s not it, I caught an orc champion today.”

Mr. Kelvan’s arm stopped as he was about to start drinking.

“What did you say…?”

“I caught the Orc Champion. So report to Mr. Kelvan… “

“Five…”

“Five?”

Mr. Kelvan lowered his head and shook his body.

Oh, it’s deja vu.

I know what Mr. Kelvan will do next.

“Oh oh oh oh oh!

Mr. Kelvan raised his hand along with the wooden cup he was holding.

The wooden goblet flew into the air, and together they tried to spill the alcohol inside her.

But regardless of that, Mr. Kelvan ran toward me with his bloodshot eyes and his tears streaming down his face.

“Oh, it’s a waste.”

Then Miss Niña shot out the spear on her back her and swung it at her glass her.

Mr. Niña’s spear was attached to the bottom of the glass and moved dazzlingly to contain every single drop of liquor in the air, then kept its balance on top of Mr. Niña’s spear. Niña’s window.

In the meantime, I grabbed Mr. Kelvan’s side his as he leaped toward me with both hands.

“Kelvan, I know you’re thrilled, but please calm down.”

It’s a bit scary to see you shed tears in a congested state.

“Ohhh! Rant! What a great man you are!”

Among Mr. Kelvan, my evaluation went up from a good person to a great person.

“Ohhh, Niña is amazing…!!”

“It was so fast!”

Noah and Elsie were admiring Niña’s spearmanship for her.

Niña lightly set the glass down on the table from the window, snorted lightly and smiled.

“Hehe, even after seeing this, I went up to B rank as a solo. I have to do this much~. Rant, how was I~?”

“It was very beautiful and cool. It was like that when enchanting Lightning, but I think it’s good to see Niña-san show off her real skills.”

At my words, Mr. Niña smiled broadly.

“… ♡ Hey, Noah. I’m with you today… “

Noah immediately smiled and made an X with his index finger.

“No~ no! Today is my exclusive!”

“Che~.”

“Rantuuuuu!”

As Mr. Kelvan was heard by me, he continued to shed tears of emotion.

I can’t leave Kelvan-san alone like this.

I put Mr. Kelvan on the floor and said.

“Mister Kelvan, why don’t you stay here and go to the warehouse?”

Mr. Kelvan immediately stopped crying and nodded his head loudly.

“Ohhh! That’s right! Come on! Let’s go quickly!”

Mr. Kelvan quickly moved his dwarven short legs and left the Adventurer’s Guild.

We also left the Adventurer’s Guild and headed to the warehouse along with Mr. Kelvan.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Mr. Kelvan immediately turned to me and gave me a very bright look.

It was a look that reminded me of the Elsie I saw today after slashing an orc with a two-handed sword.

“Ah, Mr. Kelvan’s eyes are like Elsie’s when he looked at Lant today.”

I guess I wasn’t the only one who thought that.

“Huh?! No, Noah! My, my eyes were like that!?”

“Yeah, it was very bright. Isn’t that you?”

“Right, but when Elsie did it, she was so cute. She was jumping around ♪”

“Ha, ha ha…!”

Elsie covered her own face with her hands, the rest of her ashamed of her.

I think Elsie’s look like that is always cute.

But now is the time to take care of Mr. Kelvan, who is bright but his eyes his are bloodshot.

“Kelvan, I’ll take out the bodies and weapons of the orcs first.”

“Ohhh, sure! Main dishes are best enjoyed last!”

I first took out the weapon from my inventory and then took out the corpses of the orcs next to it.

Seeing the corpses of the orcs piled up, Mr. Kelvan snorted violently.

Today, too, there are a lot of high-quality orc corpses! Huh? Rant, I see some corpses pierced with arrows or crushed with blunt weapons on the way?”

“Ah, that’s it… I got a skill called Mana Weapon… And I did various tests and it turned out that way.”

“Ohh, that’s right! Heh heh heh, yes, when everyone gets a new skill through inspiration, they want to test it! By the way, since it’s a Mana Weapon… You’ve acquired a skill with a wide range of applicability! Oh, but… Maybe an Orc Champion…”

Mr. Kelvan looked at me with a slightly anxious expression.

I’m sure he’s worried that I might have hunted an orc champion with the blade of my mana weapon.

I gave Mr. Kelvan a thumbs up to reassure him and a grin showing his teeth.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Kelvan. The Orc Champion only broke his neck and caught him properly.”

Mr. Kelvan’s face immediately brightened.

“Ohhhhh! Rant! As expected! I trusted you!”

“Because the promise was to bring it as clean as possible. Then I’ll take out the Orc Champion.”

“Oh oh oh oh oh! Yeah! I’ll take it out!”

Mr. Kelvan clasped his hands tightly and waved them up and down quickly, expressing his great anticipation.

I took the Orc Champion’s double ax from the inventory along with the Orc Champion’s corpse.

And Mr. Kelvan, who saw them, opened his mouth wide and looked like an explorer who had found a treasure of gold and silver.

“Oh, oh, oh oh…! This is the fresh corpse of an Orc Champion…! A clean corpse that hasn’t even taken out a magic stone yet…!!! Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!”

Mr. Kelvan let out his great spine-chilling laugh.

“Whoa, Musher.”

“No, Noah… You can’t say that right away!”

“It’s not a joke.”

“Ni, Nina-san… !”

“Hey… Mr. Kelvan.”

“Hee hee hee hee! Ah! Rant! Why are you doing that?”

When I called, Mr. Kelvan stopped his eerie laugh and turned his head towards me.

Still, it seemed a little rational.

The reason why I say a little bit is because the corners of my mouth are completely half-moon-shaped even though I stop laughing.

“We’ll be on our way. Pay the bill tomorrow like today.”

“Okay, Rant! But how about waiting a little bit? The meat of an orc champion is literally second to the finest ingredients! Wait a moment and I’ll make sashimi right away and eat raw parts…”

“Ah, then can you cut up the meat you’re giving us and store it in your inventory? If you put it in your inventory, it’ll stay fresh, right? Mr. Kelvan will need some time to focus on himself. .. Please bring the meat along with the pay tomorrow.”

“Heh heh heh, I see! Then let’s do it!”

“Then we’ll excuse ourselves. Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

“OK.”

To my words, Elsie, Noah, and Niña immediately responded.

“Heh heh heh, good luck!”

Greeted by Mr. Kelvan, we immediately left the warehouse and I immediately closed the warehouse door.

“Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh! Tonight’s a party ahhhhh!”

Ignoring Mr. Kelvan’s loud cheers that could be heard even after closing the door, we headed for the fox’s shelter with quick steps.

On the way, Noah raised her thumb at me.

“Rant, Nice! I honestly didn’t want to stay longer.”

Elsie patted her forearm and shivered slightly.

“Mr. Kelvan… I was very scared to see him like that…”

Mr. Niña tapped her on the shoulder with a tuk-tuk spear and said.

“People’s temperament is very diverse.”

“Still, I’m glad Mr. Kelvan is very happy.”

It is gratifying to see someone close to you happy.

And personally, I’m looking forward to how delicious the Orc Champion’s meat will be.

◈

“Welcome~.”

We returned to the fox’s shelter, greeted with a bright smile from Tina.

As usual, we sat at a table and ordered menus.

Then, I took out the lunchbox I ate today from my inventory and handed it to Tina so I wouldn’t forget it later.

“Ah, come to think of it, the clothes you entrusted me with. I put them in my room because they were all dry today.”

“Really? Thanks, Tina!”

“Thanks.”

“Thank you, Tina.”

“No. I didn’t do it alone, I did it with my mother. By the way, the number of employees will increase from two days later.”

It looks like Miranda hired a new employee today after talking to me.

“Really?”

“Yes. The person who will come early in the morning to work in the store and the person who will be in charge of the kitchen in the morning and evening. Thanks to that, my mom and I only have to clean and cook meals for the people who sometimes eat here at lunchtime. Oh, but everyone, lunchboxes and meals. Mama will make it herself.”

Noah said to Tina with a smirk on his face.

“Wow, so Tina can play Lant all night without our help?”

Hehe… Yes♡”

Tina put on a very happy expression.

“Ah, but Mr. Noah, did you change your clothes?”

Hehe, do you understand?”

“Yes. Just looking at it, you can clearly see your breasts. But… Isn’t it a bit small?”

“I made it smaller on purpose~ I think Lant will like it more♡”

“Please…”

“Besides, I got promoted, so I bought it as a souvenir.”

“Eh? Did you get promoted!?”

“Yeah! Elsie did the same! That’s right~”

“Yes. I was promoted in the dungeon today.”

“Wow! Congratulations to both of you!”

“Hee hee, thank you.”

“Thank you, Tina.”

Then Mr. Niña said to Tina.

“Tina~ I’m happy to congratulate Elsie and Noah, but shouldn’t I go to work soon?”

“Ah, yes! Mom~ 4 servings of the Rant family~!”

Tina took an empty lunch box and canteen and headed to her kitchen.

And while we waited for our meal, we had a conversation about what had happened today, and halfway through, Elsie got excited and spoke passionately about how I resembled the legendary warrior.

The passionate speech continued even while eating, and I, the person in charge, was embarrassed and happy, so I didn’t mind, but Noah and Nina broke into a cold sweat.

After we finished eating, we all decided to take a bath together.

I told the three of them to go in first, saying I had something to tell Mr. Miranda.

“Mr. Miranda.”

Then I relaxed and talked to Miranda who was standing at the counter for a while.

“Oh my, Rant. What’s going on?”

“I heard you hired an employee?”

“Yes. Rant’s advice was also given. Besides, wouldn’t Tina be more comfortable if we hired employees? The people we hire are people we know all the time, just like Mr. Chersi.”

“Then I’ll believe you. Oh, and take this.”

I took 4 gold from my inventory and handed it to Miranda.

“Oh, Rant. This is…”

Mr. Miranda shook his head and tried to hand the 4 gold back to me.

“It’s okay. Rant’s heart is happy, but it’s not enough to need Rant’s help yet. Besides, the working hours are short, so hiring employees doesn’t need 4 gold per month.”

It seems that Miranda is mistaken.

“Oh, I don’t mean it in that sense. It’s the cost of using the service.”

“Service cost?”

“Yes. I’m using it naturally, but you haven’t paid for Elsie, Noah, and Niña’s bath service yet.”

“Ah…”

Mr. Miranda’s cheeks his turned red and he covered them with his right hand.

“Oh, I’m really… I didn’t even know that, and I misunderstood it on my own. Now, I’ll take care of you, Rant.”

Miranda’s shy face was very cute.

“Yes.”

“But… Isn’t it 10 silver more?”

I said with a smile.

“It’s a tip.”

For once, I wanted to enjoy the rich feeling of leisurely tipping.

And I moved to the bath where the three of us were waiting.
