20-20. It was ridiculous when I cashed Behemoth




Apparently it will take some time to redeem the behemoth, which is said to be a "disaster-class" behemoth.
 It's not dismantled, so it can't be helped.

 So I thought we'd have time for this, but....

'Kurt-san. The guild master wanted to see you. May he meet with you once?
The Guildmaster?

 What does the greatest man in the guild want?

'Gui, Guildmaster? That's Mr. Benedict, isn't it?
'They rarely appear in public, and I've heard that few people, even adventurers, have seen them...'

 Apparently he's a celebrity.
 Well, I'm sure the guild will have a lot to do with me in the future, so it wouldn't hurt to meet them.

 The receptionist showed us to the back room of the guild.


''Is that you? The d*mned guy who brought the body of a behemoth to me.


 When I got there, a large man was sitting on the couch.

'Yes,'
'And I heard some bullshit lie (...) about using storage magic to bring it here... but how did you get it here?
'I'm not lying. Storage magic is a very common, common magic.
There's no such thing as normal storage magic.

 I was plugged in.
 It seems you can't fool the guild master after all.

 We sat side by side on the couch facing each other.

''Wah! It's the real Mr. Benedict...!
'I had hoped to meet you at least once but I didn't expect to see you so soon.

 I looked next to her and saw Lara and Marise tense up ticklishly.

'So what do you want with us?'
I'm going to get the behemoth, I'm going to use my storage spell and how could I not want to be a kid, right?

 

''I heard that a tremendous genius was admitted to the magic academy this year.......but I didn't expect it to be this good.
You're moving fast.
It's natural. It's not a surprise that many of them become adventurers after graduating from the magic academy. It's not a bad idea to get information. I heard you beat that battle-crazed Desmond on the entrance exam.

 Desmond?
 Ah, that S-ranked adventurer kind of guy.
 I remembered him because he was the most beefy man in this world.
 I would love to fight him again.

"Even though Desmond is retired from active duty now, he was still touted as the greatest adventurer of all time. What the hell did you do to beat that guy?

 Sure, Desmond was strong.

 But if Desmond is the strongest man in history what would I be like a thousand years ago, for example?
 I'm sorry Desmond, but I'm confident I would have won a thousand years ago, even if I only had one hand and one foot and even more magic banned.

 Come to think of it, what do they say about me in my previous life in this world?
 I did some light digging earlier, but I couldn't find any of those stories.

"Mr. Benedict.
Hmm, what?
Do you know someone like this?

 I decided to tell him my name from my previous life and ask Benedict about it.
 I figured the Guildmaster would know what to do.

 But...

"Sorry, I don't know. What's the matter? Do you know him?
No, no, it's not like that.

 Well, I was dimly aware that this kind of answer would come from the fact that the magical revolution of a thousand years ago was pretended to have never happened.

''Well. Let's get down to business, shall we?

 Benedict folded his hands and continued, leaning slightly (jerkily) forward.

'Let me be blunt. Do you plan to leave the magic academy right now and go it alone as an adventurer?

 So that's what I thought.
 In this world, that behemoth has become a disaster-class behemoth!

 I defeated it in five seconds.
 As a guild master, it's perfectly natural to recruit them.

 However.

'I decline. I still have a lot to learn.
Yeah, well...

 Benedict's shoulders are slumped.
 I mean, I don't know if you're going to solicit a student at the very beginning of his or her enrollment.

 Besides, you can always become an adventurer.
 So now I want to enjoy this interesting school life that I never experienced in my previous life.

Is there anything that Kurt can learn?
Wow, as far as I'm concerned, I can learn a lot from studying with Kurt, so that's a foolish offer!
Of course I do! I won't give you Kurt!

 Lara and Marise grabbed my arms, from both sides.
 As they do so, I can feel the soft touch of their breasts on my arm, and I can't help but freeze up.
 To me, this kind of thing makes me a billion times more nervous than meeting a guild master.

I'm sure you're not the only one. I'm sure you know that the student ID card of the magic academy can be used in place of an adventurer's license. You can also receive quests based on your abilities, so please take advantage of it.
Yes, of course.
'And ... if there's anything the guild can't handle, I might ask Kurt to do something for me, okay?
Well, within reason.

 I don't want to get too big of a story, but if there's a chance of meeting a guy who's stronger than Desmond - and even stronger than me - then let's go wherever we go.


 As such, I could spend a good deal of time talking with Benedict.


'Here you go! We're done redeeming!

 The receptionist from earlier walks into the room, out of breath.

'How long have you been here?'

 I don't know how far this world's 《Disaster Class》 is from this world.
 But I defeated a demon that seems to be pretty strong.
 I think........the reward was a single gold coin!

'Yes, sir! Here it is!

 I put the bag on the table in front of the couch with a thud.

 It looks heavy.
 Could it be all coppers?

Fu.....
Are you disgruntled?

 He let out a sigh and seemed to freak out the receptionist.

'No, it's not like that,'

 I put in a follow-up and then looked inside the bag without much hope.

 Hmm, this doesn't look like a copper coin. Or rather, it's a gold coin.
 Gold coins are 1, 10........hmm? It looks like it's over 100.

'Three hundred gold pieces! That's the price of a behemoth!

 ...Seriously?
 It was 300 times greater than I had originally thought.

I've never seen so much money in my life!
''Of course. Defeating a [disaster-class] demon is just like that.

 Lara's eyes widened in surprise, and Marise had a clear look on her face.

 Yup.
 I've learned one thing about this case.
 If I can get this much for defeating the behemoths, it looks like I won't have any trouble with money in the future.
