The next day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We had passed through the Earth Ruins and were approaching the Suzan Hills, adjacent to the fortified city of Kilket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The Suzan Hills are dotted with small hills and forests, and are the habitat of small monsters such as Wolfes and slimes.

And once they reached this point, the fortified city of Kilket was just a stone's throw away.

At that moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't come here!　You son of a b*tc*!　Don't touch me!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With a voice shouting, "Don't touch me!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A figure leapt out from the woods ahead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The figure was wrapped in silver armor. It was a small figure.

In his hand, he held a large sword that did not match his height.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And from behind, a group of about 20 Wolfes were chasing after him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The boy in armor swung his sword frantically.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His sword is too big and he is almost always evaded by the Wolfe's. "It's not bad," he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The boy said, "My sword is not so bad. But his choice of weapon is poor. He's just starting out. And those Wolfe's are not a hunting pack. That kid just nipped the Wolfes' roost," Burgess said.

Burgess said.

"If you leave him alone, that kid. If we leave him alone, he might end up as lunch for the Wolfes," said Amaranthia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Amaranthia said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If she is in the middle of a quest, it is considered a prohibited act for adventurers to intercept her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But it would be bad taste to let it go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Amaranthia was right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I didn't think the boy swordsman could get through that situation by himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at Burgess and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They are here as my hired guards.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a rule of thumb to avoid unnecessary danger when escorting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's our path, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All four of them seemed to understand what I was trying to say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Liora sighs in relief.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And then the burgesses pounced on the group of wolffes.

'Profit....'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The corpse of Wolfes, 23 of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The first time I saw the "Warehouse", I was surprised to hear that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess, Ark, and Amaranthia, who had directly defeated Wolfes. They all relinquished ownership, so I got them all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I would be able to sell the pelts and antlers to a material store for a decent amount of money later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The boy swordsman rescued by the Burgesses called himself "Chris the Swordsman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He seemed to be a young boy of about 16 years of age, but he seemed to be an adventurer in his own right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Chris-chan, why were you being chased by Wolfes?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Amaranthia asks gently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't call me 'chan'!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Chris was really pissed off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You little shit!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess snapped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Apologize to Amaranthia!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Chris hides behind Amaranthia, scared of Burgess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess is looking at Amaranthia and Chris alternately, and is getting angry and dejected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Chaos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Chris says he was in the middle of a quest to "Deliver 10 pieces of fur from Wolfe's."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Chris says he was in the middle of a quest for "[beginner's level] Delivery of 10 Wolfe's pelts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you want these guys, I can sell them to you for 100 mana each.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The situation became even more chaotic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thinking in terms of the value of materials. I sold the pelts for 20 mana a piece and the antlers for about 30 mana a horn. The other parts of the Urfes are not so useful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With those two material values, 50 mana per animal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So the amount of money I'm haggling over is double the material market price.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Screw you!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Naturally, Chris was furious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But Burgess and the others stood in his way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We're hired to protect him. If we're going to do it, we're going to do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And. You can't have that attitude after having me save you from a dangerous situation, even if only as a result of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The person who is not a member of the group is not a member of the group.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The most important thing to remember is that the mana is not a money thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems that there is usually no money (mana).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you don't have money, you're not a customer.

We headed straight to Kirkett with a fully wounded Chris.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Chris was silent the whole time we were there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He seemed to have been running away from Wolfes and the others for quite a while. He seemed to be reaching his physical limits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He would not have the strength left to go back to the Suzan Hills and kill 10 Ulfes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The delivery quest he received would be called a "failure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Probably a rookie who has just become an adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He probably doesn't have the ability to defeat 10 Wolfe's by himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Me neither.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm a veteran only in age, but...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure I can't kill 10 Wolfe's by myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

To be honest, even one would be a close call.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The outer gate of the fortress city of Kilket came into view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is a massive stone gate, and many people come and go in and out of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Albus. I gave you the Ulfes that I killed earlier. Can I have it back now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess said something like that to me there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm?　Fifty mana a piece.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, well."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess said that and tried to take the mana out of the sack at his waist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm just kidding. Of course I'll pay you back. You've been giving me material for a long time, eleven of them, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You don't sound so joking when you say it, do you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess put away the mana he was about to give out, with a reluctant look on his face.
