14 Chapter 1 Chapter 12 【Escape】其の4




 In the light of the morning sun coming up from the east, Ryoshin narrowed his eyes.
 He carried his sword on his back and hung the leather bags containing the warring rings, or Chakram, on his left and right hips and proceeded east along the street.

''But that was a close call...''

 This is what happened after we bought the weapons yesterday.
 Ryoma went to the item shop and bought five each of Potions and Antidote, a simple tent, a map of the western continent and a backpack to carry them.
 I've thought about what to do about my armor, but the ready-made items I tried on didn't fit well, and I had trouble moving.
 I decided to buy it at a later date when I have time, because Ryoma does not have time now.
 When he was eating his dinner at Uminari-tei, Ryoma noticed this.


''Ah!''

 Ryoma's voice could be heard in the Uminari-tei, which had been turned into a bar.
 All of the customers in the bar turned to look at Ryoma at once.

''Oh. Landlady.........

What is it? What's going on?

 Startled by Ryoma's voice, the landlady came to her side.
 Inwardly, she had rushed over to her, worried that there were some insects in her meal, but from what she saw of Ryoma, that wasn't why she had raised her voice.
 When the proprietress visited her fearfully, Ryoma muttered repeatedly in a thin voice.

''A letter. A letter......''

Did you lose the letter of your quest?

 Hearing Ryouma's muttering, the landlady's complexion changed.
 If this is true, it's a terrible mistake. I'll definitely have to pay a penalty fee.
 No, the money is still good. Unless you have a little bit of experience, but if a rookie with no experience made a mistake in the first request, it will be difficult to take on the next request.
 But hearing Ryoma's answer, a smile appeared on the landlady's face

No. No I didn't get the letter...

Ha-ha-ha. You haven't been to the delivery counter then, have you?

A delivery counter?

 The customers in the store who had been listening in could understand the situation. They too were looking at Ryoma with a grin.

''Hey. You're new here.

''Yeah, I was like that the first time, too.''

The Guild has a lot of red tape.

 The whispers coming from here and there reached Ryoma's ears as well.

''Hahahaha.''

 The landlady couldn't resist and laughed out loud. Then the surrounding mercenaries started laughing with her.

''?''

 Ryoma couldn't understand why he was being laughed at.

'Oh no, bad bad. Yeah, well, about half of the newbies end up like you.

 Noticing that Ryouma was silent with a mortified look on his face, the landlady accidentally hid her mouth with her apron. However, a smile was still on her face.

'What do you mean?'

 Words flew from all around them at Ryoma's question.

''Kanpai to the trials of a rookie!

"Glory to the victims of red tape!

Rookie! Don't get down and do your best~

 I can't understand the situation. Ryoma turned to the landlady with a questioning look.
 Seeing Ryoma's face, the landlady shook her head, cowered her shoulders and replied.

''You. Did you receive anything after you registered with the guild?

In the guild? The registration card and the rest... oh!

 Hearing the landlady's words, something in Ryoma's mind comes to mind.

(That's right! (I got a booklet when I completed my registration and was about to leave!
 It was handed to him by the woman at the reception desk after he had registered.
 Ryoma received it and threw it into the bag on his back, forgetting that he had forgotten about it until now. ,

Have you read the third page of that?

 The landlady told him to open the booklet and Ryoma hurriedly opened it.

 How to complete each Request "Quest";
Requests: Regarding Delivery.
 When you accept a Delivery Request, you must pick up the item at the guild's delivery counter.
 The end date of the "Quest" request is the last day to deliver the item to the guild's delivery counter in the target town.

Requests: Regarding Defeats
 When you take on a quest, every time you kill a target, the quest is automatically recorded on your license card.
 When the quest is finished, the card is sent to the guild delivery counter.
 Unless otherwise specified, it does not matter which guild in which town you are in.

 Notes;
 If the target habitat is designated, you must be accompanied by your guild's entourage, and you must prove that you are killing the target within its range.
In this case, note that the card-based auto-record cannot be used.

Request 《Quest》: Regarding Procurement
 When a quest is undertaken, it is considered complete when the item is delivered to the guild delivery counter.
 It does not matter which guild in which town you report to, unless otherwise specified.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------4.

It's...

 When Ryoma looked at the title of the booklet, it was called 【Guild Beginner's Guide】.
 It's a document with the basic information that a person who receives a request 《quest》 for the first time would need.

''Didn't you receive the request (quest) at the guild's reception counter?

 Ryoma nodded honestly to the landlady's question.

The reception counter is really only a receptionist. That's why when you receive a request, such as a delivery request, you have to go to the delivery counter after receiving the request and receive the object of the request.

 If you ask me, it's understandable, but Ryoma was somewhat unexplained.
 I don't mean to make excuses, but it seems more efficient to hand over the object of the request as it is at the window when the request 《quest》.
 Well, it's not very convincing in the words of Ryoma, who was given a guide book and left it unread, but.......
 Granted, there seem to be quite a few such people.
 The landlady must have seen with her own eyes that many newcomers have gotten in trouble for not reading the same way.

She said, "You're not happy, are you? Well, it's a bit of a systemic complication, so as a guild we give them a booklet, but most newbies don't look at it that much. After all, it's their first time registering and working for the guild. They get so nervous that they forget about the booklet. Is it like a rookie's first ordeal?

 The landlady must have understood Ryoma's frustration. With a smile on her face, she politely explained to me.

''Is the guild still open?''

 The time is a little past twenty-thirty at night.
 Most of the shops have already closed down except for a very limited number of bars and restaurants.

''Hmmm. The guild is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. By the way, there's a booklet about that as well, so you should read it later, okay?

 Hearing that, Ryoma hurriedly crammed the grilled meat for dinner into his mouth. Then he left the cost of the dinner 《dinner》 on the counter and bowed to the proprietress at the entrance of the restaurant.
 Naturally, we're headed to the guild reception counter.


''Yes! This will be the requested item. I'm looking forward to working with you. Mikoshiba-san.

 A woman with glasses gives Ryojin a letter wrapped in oil paper.

''It's sealed with wax. If this comes off, you'll have to pay a penalty regardless of whether you look inside or not, so be careful.

 When Ryoma saw the information board posted at the entrance of the guild and went to the delivery counter on the basement floor, he submitted his card, and the woman at the reception desk easily handed him the requested item.
 It's a good thing that this is not the case.

 After that, we stayed at the hotel, which is located on the main street, and left the imperial capital of Altomere at dawn.


"Whaaaaaaahhhh?

 A yawn comes out of Ryoma's mouth.
 Perhaps it was because of the early morning, the street leading to Melfelen was empty except for Ryoma.
 Ryoma, who received the requested items at the guild yesterday and stayed at the inn "Hotel" on the main street, briefly looked through the [Guild Beginner's Guide] as the landlady had told him, and thought about the expenses he had purchased for various things, and it was late to bed.

 Shirt, trousers, cape and leather belt = 1000 baht (10 silver coins)
 Lunch at Uminari-tei = 25 baht (25 copper coins)
 Dinner at Haiming-tei》 40 baht (40 copper coins)
 Sword = 500 baht (5 silver coins)
 Warring Wheel "Chakram" x 20 = 2000 Baht (20 silver coins)
 Potions" x 5 units = 1000 Baht (10 silver coins)
 Antidote "Antidote" x 5 = 1000 Baht (10 silver coins)
 Simple tent = 500 baht (5 silver coins)
 Map of the Western Continent = 100 baht (1 silver coin)
 Backpack = 100 baht (1 silver coin)
 Hotel" cost *include breakfast = 100 Baht (1 silver coin)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The above is the amount of money that was spent on the first day after being summoned.
 This is the amount of money you spent on the first day of the summoning.
 The reason why the price of food is so low is obvious.
 On the other hand, the consumable goods, such as Potions and Antidote, are quite expensive.
 From the description on the bottle, it seems to be quite effective in regards to injuries.
 It's not something that can be easily used immediately.
(Even though it's one of the cheapest items in the game...)
 However, unlike games, if you die in this world, there is no continuity.
 Considering that, there was no way I could force myself to be stingy with this medicine.
 If you take out the investment in equipment, it seems that if you can earn roughly 200 baht a day (two silver coins), you can have a meal and stay at an inn "hotel".

(However, is it possible to get out so much just by going out of town? Monsters....
 The Guild's Beginner's Guide that I read yesterday not only tells you how to take and report quests, but also the habitat of monsters, such as the Wild Dog and Wild Bee, that early adventurers would expect to encounter in their questing days.
 According to the report, basically the further you go from the road, the stronger the monsters become.
 The wild dogs, such as the wild dogs that I was exposed to this time, can be found in groups within 5 minutes of being off the road.
 Ryoma left the road and headed into the forest.
 There is a reason for Ryoma's detour.
 He knew that if he rushed, he would be suspicious.
 Of course, there are many people in the world, and some of them are walking on the street in a hurry.
 Hurry = the empire will find you. It's not that, but we thought it would be safer to move around the town while doing the usual adventurer's work of defeating the enemy, just like a normal adventurer.
 We can see a deep forest about five minutes from the street.
 We didn't get far enough into the forest before we heard a buzzing sound of wings.
 When I looked down, I saw about five insects flying around a tree about 10 meters away.
 They're bugs, though, and they're as big as dogs.
(Is that one?)
 Its body shape looks like a normal bee.
 But its size is definitely different. It was at least a hundred times larger than an ordinary bee.
 It seems that this is the Wild Bee.
According to the Guild Beginner's Guide, because of its large body, it is not very quick.
 However, it has a deadly poison, and if it stings you more than five times at a time, you will die.
(Let's try it........)
 Ryoma took out the Chakram from his bag at his waist, lowered his hips and twisted his right leg in front of him to the left side of his body.
 The battle ring was thrown out of his body, which had been squeezed like a bow and had accumulated strength.
 Phong.
 A war wheel cuts through the air and flies towards the Wild Bee.
 Zash.
 and
 kappa
 Two sounds echoed continuously.
 However, Ryoma ignored them and threw the second, third, fourth and fifth Warring Ring 《Chakram》 continuously.
 All of the flying wild bees 《Wild Bee》 fell to the ground.
 Some had their bodies torn off, some had their heads shattered, and some had holes in their wings that prevented them from flying.
 Each of the hit points were different, but for now, all five pieces seemed to have been hit.
 Ryoma drew his sword and approached the Wild Bee.
 They all seem to be dying.
 Starting with the wild bee with the most healthy broken wings, he stabs it in the head with his sword to stop it.
And then...
Take out the [Guild Beginner's Guide] and reread the part of the page I had folded.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Regarding the Procurement of Materials]
 After you have defeated the monster, be sure to take it apart to get more materials for it!
 Depending on the parts of the monster's body, it can be used for various purposes, such as medicine, food, or a catalyst for magic.
These items can be exchanged for money by selling them to the magic item shop or by completing a request (Quest: Procurement).

 I will explain in this article what parts of the early monsters can be sold for.

----------------------------------------------------------------(what? You're going to sell the wings and the poisonous needles...)
 For the time being, I cut off the butt of the Wild Bee 《Wild Bee》 and took out the poisonous stinger.
(Uhe........that's lightly five centimeters long.......)
 Next, as he tried to pick back the wings, Ryoma noticed that three of them had holes or breaks in them.
(Oh no. I'm pretty sure...)
I hurriedly checked the [Guild Beginner's Guide] and there it was.


Notes:
 As it is for sale, we may not be able to pick up the item if it is heavily damaged in various parts.
 Please note that we may not be able to pick up the item if it is heavily damaged in various parts.

 It's an obvious condition to consider selling.
 However, it's difficult to pay attention to the degree of damage when your life is on the line.
 If you get greedy and nearly die, you can't expect to get anything done.
(If it were a game, I'd just pick up items to sell...)
 Ryouma gave up on the badly damaged feathers and picked up the relatively undamaged ones.
(If I don't use my head, it means I'll lose money even if I try to beat it... well, I guess I'll just have to give up my money when things get really bad...)
 Ryoma realized how difficult it was to hunt.
