45 Episode 45 Orders and Orders




...... this and ...... that for the last time.

After a quick look around the request board, I decided to line up at the reception desk again with a handful of ...... requests.


I'm going to take a bunch of requests to kill demons that live in relatively similar habitats, and I'm going to try to get as many as I can today.
This is the method I've devised to raise my rank the fastest.

It's almost noon now, so there won't be many adventurers who are willing to take on the requests.
That's why it won't bother you if I do something bold like this.


Then, please take this.

I put a stack of requests on the counter of the "Order/Accomplishment Report/Material Purchase" section.

...... Oh, this much?

The receptionist rolled her eyes and asked me that.

Yes.

I'm sure Mr. Vallius can handle it, but ...... if any of them can't be accomplished within the deadline, you'll have to pay a penalty, right?

It's okay.

I replied in a serious tone to the worried looking receptionist.

This is a request that I originally picked up with the expectation that it would be accomplished in one day.
There was no way I could fail to complete it within the deadline, even if I was wrong.

Even if some misfortune were to occur and I had to pay a penalty, I still had plenty of profit from the sale of the Lunar Metal Ore.
It would be a fool's errand to reduce the efficiency of rank advancement for fear of unforeseen circumstances.

"If you insist, ......

The receptionist, perhaps sensing the seriousness of the situation, began to process the order with a reluctant expression.

The most urgent request has only three days left. Please be careful.

The receptionist pointed to one of the order forms and said.

......3 days.
No matter how it turns out, it's not going to fail.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the future.



I left the guild.



I'm not sure what to do.

After explaining to Caucasus and Belzebub about the request I received, I said so and started to head in a different direction from them.


I'm going to leave the actual fighting to Caucasus and the others.
Because that would be the most efficient way.

As the number and types of enemies to be defeated increase, we will need someone to act as a commander in order to defeat them efficiently.
And who better to be the leader than me, the clairvoyant?

I will use my clairvoyance to find the target of the attack, and guide the Caucasus and Belzebub to it by telekinesis.
That's the fastest route.

But then...

I won't even need to be at the request site anymore.
The clairvoyant and Tamer's telekinesis have no distance limit in this range of activity.

Let Caucasus and Belzebub go to the scene of the attack, and I'll just give orders and do something completely unrelated.
Such a thing would be possible.

Of course, if the tasks to be done separately require concentration, it may interfere with my role as a commander. ...... If that's the case, just make the tasks to be done separately require less concentration.

So today, I'm thinking of going to the blacksmith again.
I wanted to prepare a few more swords made of Lunar Metal.

Lunametal swords are the key item to completely annihilate the four gods.
You should have an overabundance of spares.

In addition, the Lunametal ore that is currently in the storage spell was brought back as a raw material for Hylnametal. ...... Artemis and Kirin seem to get along well.
I'm sure you'll be able to forgive me if I consume some of it for other purposes.

That's what I thought as I made my way to the blacksmith.



Sorry.



Excuse me.

"Oh, what do you want? I think you're the one with the Lunametal sword!

When I entered the blacksmith's shop, the blacksmith's tone of voice changed to one of surprise.

How's the Lunar Metal sword coming along?

It's doing well. It's been getting sharper and sharper ever since.

How's ......?

The blacksmith was puzzled by my reply.

The blacksmith was puzzled by my reply. ...... Well, I guess so.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
It's not something that can be easily explained, and I guess it's inevitable that I would react this way.

As I was thinking this, the blacksmith opened his mouth again.

I've never heard of a sword getting sharper as you use it,......, but what's your business here today? I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

After answering that, I took out from my storage spell the Lunametal Ore, enough for three swords.

Even though I want more than enough spares, I still want to receive the finished product before I leave for the island of self-determination.

Considering that, I think this is a reasonable number. ......

I'd like to request three, how many days will it take?

"Well, we've already developed the ...... know-how, so we should be able to do all three in about ten days. Is that okay?

Yes, please.

It looks like I was right.
I thought so, and immediately agreed.

You can let me do a trial cut on the day you receive .......
