The Beastman's guild branch was more ordinary than I had imagined.
Not much different from the Jewish tribe.
However, there was some change in the request content.
"Barter...?"
“Yeah, some of them. Nowadays, the economy is introduced using the human monetary system, but sometimes the Beastmen are traded in the old-fashioned barter."
If you defeat Bourne Wolf, you will receive a month's supply of grain. There was also a thirty-centimetre bronze statue of the greatest warrior of all time.
This was interesting because it was unseen by the humans.
But why barter?
"You're the subject of power." The Beastmen change their food and rights in the order of the stronger ones. The money of the person who inevitably wants to ask is often held by the stronger person who can accept the request. Especially if the crusader's skill says something. "
"... hh? It's difficult."
Simply put, money alone can't squeeze things out, so it's taking things out.
Quena's expression was dark.
"Oh... I see"
It's a very straightforward composition.
There were only races that showed a true difference in power.
I don't know. It's hard to live.
Hmmm. Shall we try something?
Hey, have you forgotten your purpose?
"I'll listen to it together with the request." I don't think that's more repulsive, do I? "
"... well, it looks like there are no people at the reception." But you might want to pick a request. ”
"Yeah, I know."
If I had, I might have called for a cancellation out of disgust. If it's a direct deal, it's going to come out to those who don't even try to hide it.
That's why it's better not to be actively involved with the client as much as possible.
How about this one?
Carefully peel off the request form and show it to Quena.
No matter how long it took, Quena peeked forward.
”The Augur Crusade... my client is Otoma”
I'm a good choice, aren't I?
"Well, you don't have to worry about me turning you down." It seems that the aptitude rank is from A rank and above, and there are only a limited number of people who can accept it. "
I'm glad to be praised, and my nose is going to be high.
However, Quenna's expression gave me a shadow.
"This is so close, isn't it?" Sinellia Forest? "
Geography hits my head until I get here.
According to Quena, the Sineria Forest is close to the capital of the Aohemus country. That's about a ten-minute walk.
"What's wrong with that?"
"No, I thought it was still a nonsense race." Remember, we don't have any walls here? It's too dangerous to have someone nearby whose aptitude is the target of A-rank's request. "
"Sure, but... you're doing something about it, aren't you?"
If it's not the same as before, the weak will be left alone.
Quena's jokes shocked me lightly.
Huh? But you're asking for a crusade, too.
I wonder if that's because the auger got disturbed.
Is that all you got?
"... I'll tell you what, but I don't think I'm good either."
I have a slightly unacceptable, physiological disgust. I have a strange feeling about myself.
No, I might have expected it somehow.
"Even though you like brave people... you don't like people, do you?"
"I see. Maybe he envied the drunken presence of a hero." I think that the results are only secondary. "
Fufu, smiling lightly, Quena looks at me.
"You didn't seem interested in brave people, did you?" Are you really sorry you didn't say no? "
"I don't think it's because I'm not interested..." When I think about it again, I don't know what I am. I feel like I'm going to change when I'm a brave man. "
People don't change that easily.
Quena narrows her eyes and laughs softly.
I feel at ease with the words. But there was still a hint of anxiety somewhere in my heart.
Signs suddenly appeared from the side.
Were you still in the Beastman Clan?
It was Ronnie.
I met him unexpectedly, but by the way, he was an S-rank adventurer. Since it was a guild branch, it was only natural to meet them.
"I want to know more about the festival." I was going to ask the receptionist when I got the request. "
"Hmm... more than that, I was going to take care of the request." Can I get it for you? "
Ronnie asks me while looking at my request form.
"Actually, we want to take it too." Any other requests will be turned down in a positive way. "
“It's not a request for multiple parties to accept orders. Hmm... well, I'll teach you if it's a festival."
"I see. Thank you."
Give Ronnie the requisition.
Then Ronnie tells me to go to the back alley, which is less popular.
You don't really want to know that you're involved with us.
