Can I Become an Adventurer Without Gift?

"Well, people don't seem to know, so let me explain a little bit."

Gulia said so with a laugh of couscous, lifting one of the pieces of methyl lightly.

"... what?

Hal brought the heavy methyl hard, but Goulia was pinching and gently lifting it with her thumb and index finger.

Hull, surprised by too much behavior, sees Guglia's abilities in an appraisal and is convinced.

Among his gifts was one called Muscle Strength 10.

To distract me until I got here, I was trying to appraise the people on the road, but it was about five on the high, and it was a ranked adventurer.

If so, it was not difficult to predict that there could be an unlikely 10 of Goulia.

"Can I give you an explanation?

Seeing Hal's reaction of how stunned he was, Nico and Guglia, cheering, were waiting for me to stop explaining.

"Oh, go on. Because I know exactly what you are..."

The second half was the loudness of the voice at the level of hearing or not, but Goulia smiles back to explaining.

"This methyl is the methyl of the power turtle, so he - Hal - you brought it. But this is something else, exactly."

There will be no mistake in his sorting, which is the guild master. Heard it was something else, Hal drops his shoulder. I struggled to get it because of it.

"Heh heh, this is a monster called the Grand Power Turtle, which has evolved to a large extent among the power turtles. Hardness just outweighs hard power turtles. Same power, of course. I mean, you're a superior species. Yeah, naturally everyone doesn't know. The only change in appearance is the size, otherwise it's the same as a normal power turtle. So - No, I miss it. I made this discovery when I was still an adventurer."

The word of Goulia, which seemed delightfully cursory, tempered in an instant in the guild.

That there's been talk of demons we don't know about.

Besides, it's a guild master, a powerful demon, a freshly adventurous, formerly incompetent porter who has defeated it.

Those who marvel at that point.

And discovering such a grand power turtle is that you are the guild master in front of you.

Surprised here.

And it was different with those who were surprised and confused by both.

"But this means you can't deliver it because it's separate from the requested item, right?

Hal was more important about his request than his surrounding blurring.

Since the request is for a power turtle, the items will be different in the Grand Power Turtle.

Then I changed my mind about having to pick again, and Hal was turning his mind to the next move.

"No, no, I want you to wait a minute. I made this request in the first place. [M] Trying to build a shield for someone I know... but if you can get something better than what you wanted, I'll change the request. I hope they deliver the Grand Power Turtle's armor."

As an exorcism shield, Gulia was about to use it as a gift because she had children in her old companions.

While I was heartily impressed with Hull's switching speed, I raised my finger and informed him of the change in request.

"Oh, that would help. By the way, does the compensation amount change, too?

If we were to deliver a separate item, the amount of the reward should also change.

It was the teachings of Hal's master of heart that he should have received consideration for his labor.

"Absolutely. Let's talk in my room about rewards. [M] It's not good to talk about money in front of everyone."

Hal nodded at Goulia's offer, which he did to his mouth so that he wouldn't tell me, and Goulia, who confirmed it, nodded as well, and the two headed to the Guildmaster's room.

"Yeah, well, will you leave the Kohlo there? Check the quality."

As I recall, Goulia looks back and makes a request to the receptionists about Kohlo and heads back to the room.

They went to the performance of their duties in surprise and bewilderment still did not fit in the shock within the guild.

Up the stairs to the second floor and into the Guildmaster Room in the deepest part.

"Well, let me talk to you for a second. Come on, over there on the couch."

Guglia, smiling and cheering, looked excited somewhere.

"Ha ha..."

Hal sits on the couch, bewildered.

"So, I want to ask you a few questions... - First of all, how could you have become an adventurer?

"... Huh!

Hal is surprised by the too straightforward question and gets stuck in the words.

"You're a porter - I mean, you should have been making luggage carrying a business. Why did you get so far as to register as an adventurer? That's enough to make Zaus acknowledge his powers?

Guglia's voice is a little lower asking that, and her cheerful appearance hissing earlier. He was shooting through Hal just saying that serious bluffing wouldn't allow him to vomit lies.

"... because the answer to the question as to why, has gained strength. And I was able to gain strength - because I kept working out, learning and drilling without giving up all the time."

Hull answered what the two goddesses had told him at that time, glaring at his lips and gripping his cobbles much harder. In Hal's head, memories come back one after another from the first adult ritual to when he was a porter, when he met a goddess and was given skills.

"............ I see. Right, yeah, okay."

Goulia nods as satisfied with Hull's answer and smiles. There is no more inquisitive atmosphere.

"Okay...?

Say it yourself, and Hal listens back when he didn't think you'd be convinced by it.

But Guria sneered and nodded again.

"Yeah, 'cause there's no lie in your words. And the power is yours, so you don't have to reveal it to me. I just asked you once, so you don't have to worry. Alicia admitted it to Zaus, so I'm not complaining."

Hal sighed one more sigh after hearing that blatantly and feeling more and more physically tired at once.

Then what the hell was that change in the atmosphere just now? Because I wanted to say so.

"Come on, shall we talk about Grand Power Turtle's Kohlo soon then? As for the reward, how about five times the original request?

"Oh, dear!?

Hal gets a little surprised by the high reward he never thought would be five times as good as he was told.

"... that? Was it cheap? Exactly ten times tough, but six times... no, I don't know if I can handle it if it's about seven times as critical"

"Yes, no, no, five times is enough. I didn't think it was that expensive..."

Hal rushes up and stops at Goulia, who hoists the price herself with a troubled look.

"Well, good for you. Still, there's one thing I'd like to ask you, how did you cut that koro out? It was nicely cut to fit the shape, but it's hard with knives and swords in there, isn't it?

This question was simply of interest to Guglia. So much Grand Power Turtle Kohlo material was in good condition.

"Oh, I used this"

Hal took out the knife he usually used and put it on the table.

"Mind if I look?

Hal nods at that question of Goulia.

Guglia chuckled fluffily to thank her. When she took the knife, she pulled it out of her sheath and checked the blade area.

"Um, well maintained... but nothing special, right?

"Oh, the price there, but no special power - it's just a knife"

Good quality knife. That was the evaluation of the two of us.

"Now I don't think I can cut out that armor..."

"Exactly. That's where my abilities come in. Well, I'm not gonna talk to you or show you."

Just realizing what he's saying out of curiosity, Hal gives this back without looking bad.

And it's common if you're an adventurer to hide your abilities, but you don't seem to care.

"Ha, then you have no choice. Yeah, well, the one I was sending out on the request is a piece of methyl, but if you like, it would help if you could sell all the rest..."

There are a total of five pieces of methyl brought by Hal. I'm talking about wanting you to give it all up.

But only to the extent of the proposal, the decision seemed to be loose to Hull.

"Okay, I don't mind if you buy it out for a good price"

"Yay! Let me colour you when it comes to buying materials! Whatever, I haven't seen the Grand Power Turtle in years. I'll get the money soon!

The moment Hal nodded at me, Guglia stood up happy with a sparkling smile like a child who got a new toy.

The presence of the Grand Power Turtle is rare in itself and huge if it is also its methyl, making it difficult to carry.

Therefore, it seemed that the footsteps by which Guglia would go to the next room to pick up the money were off.
