I was allowed to watch Noel fight as he returned to the village protecting his students, Dr. Niefa and Mr. Jethro.

I was relieved that the still dangerous side seemed to be able to fight the highly-ranked demons of something against me.

Even so, I had no idea I was going to struggle with an electric deer opponent.

For the average adventurer, an electric deer is seen as a threat because the discharged electric shock protects his body, and when he is subjected to electric shock, he becomes paralyzed and unable to move. Sometimes it's a really dangerous demon because some people get burned to death by electric shock.

But a week before he came to the village, he had reached the 40th basement on his own.

From then on, he continued to train thunderbeasts against him.

Does anyone who deals with demons that normally emit thunderbolts struggle with the extent of electric deer?

The result was - a victory without any damage.

Looks like my skills are working fine, and I'll be fine in the future.

"That's why I took the kids home."

Back in the village, I was visiting the village chief's house.

Dr. Niefa is preaching to students who joined the other teachers and went to the woods.

Although Mr. Jethro also managed his injuries thanks to healing pills (potions), the damage caused by the battle against Crystal Rhinos remains considerable.

That's why Karen and I are the only ones visiting to report to the village chief.

Only Sylvia comes along as a maid of honor.

"Thank God."

"It's my job to protect my students."

Lew, the village chief, was bowing his head.

"Well, that's what I'm asking, so it's only natural to protect it."

But Karen, who can be described as the culprit of this one, has no way of reflecting at all.

"Karen -"

"What? It's not natural."

Naturally?

Then let me just claim my natural rights too.

"Is it time to move on to the rewards story"

"Reward?"

"It's a problem that I followed, but if a human being doesn't know anything about this one in the first place, it just looks like an adult took his kid out into the woods."

What happened in extracurricular classes is beginning to tell the Earl of Alistair.

Besides, the parents of the students who were victimized should be able to tell the story. The child's mouth is light. Other students who have listened to the story without having to tell them are reporting it to their parents and passing it on to their parents around.

I can't hide it through.

If such a story is told, the village's reputation will be further eroded.

It could also be said to be fatal to be abandoned from the city for a village that relies on travelers from Alistair for things that cannot be obtained from forests and fields.

"... what can I do?

"Pay the price right. So, to some extent, the impression should change."

We cut ourselves to the rescue.

That should ease things up a bit just to be appreciated.

The fact that Karen took her to the woods doesn't disappear where she scratched her feet.

"Okay. Pay the reward."

That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna bring you ten gold coins, Lew.

I accidentally sighed.

"Hey, what the fuck!

"You seriously think you can hire us with this kind of money?

"You took on ten gold coins when you were asked by the village chief before."

It was a request two years ago when I protected the village from demons.

But before and now the condition is completely different.

"I was an E-rank adventurer then. But now everyone except Noel is an A-rank adventurer."

The higher the rank, the higher the quality as an adventurer.

High rewards are required when hiring highly-ranked adventurers because they need to earn trust, such as strength as well as contribution to the Adventurer Alliance.

"Ten pieces of gold per person - let me charge you fifty pieces for the whole party"

"Oh, that's so expensive......! I can pay..."

"No, I'm not gonna let you say anything"

I can tell you it's pointless because you can't recover money by charging someone who's incapable of paying.

It has been confirmed in advance that Lew has the capacity to pay.

"You must have thirty gold coins that the school gave you as a gratuity for this extracurricular class. That should make part of the payment possible."

Vacant house requested and built by the Alistair family.

Thanks to the vacant house, I didn't have any trouble with the place to stay, but just because there is a place doesn't mean I won't have any trouble. The cost of maintaining the house. Prepare for other pleasant reception from the villagers.

I was giving them gratuities because I had decided that a lot of money was going to be used.

"But you were unprepared."

"It's..."

"Busy, no excuse whatsoever. I'll contact you in advance if I can't get ready in time. I wish I hadn't taken the request from the beginning if I couldn't even do such a common sense thing."

……

As a result, this one did not become a problem because of the movement, but in the worst case, it is possible that it was colliding on the school side and the village side.

I need Lew to be more conscious as the person responsible.

"Well, that's still twenty pieces short. You're not gonna tell me to collect from all the villagers, like one day."

I think that's okay if I think about my own convenience.

The villagers were treating me amicably when I visited last year and when I visited them. That's because I had a desire to be forgiven for bias.

Unfortunately for me, Dayton Village has already become irrelevant.

There is nothing like a change in ratings due to the flattery of the moment.

But things like the village is doomed are troublesome.

The village of Dayton will be used as a relay point when development progresses in the future. If things happen like the village is doomed at that time, you have to build the village from 1 at the hands of the lord. The village should have stayed, given the burden of the Alistair family.

So I don't imitate what I would force to collect from the villagers.

"If it's the other twenty, Karen has it"

"I?"

Until then Karen, who had listened because she thought it was a story that had nothing to do with her, is called by her name to turn her consciousness.

"Oh. You're collecting crystal shards in the woods."

It doesn't extend to 20 pieces of gold, but it's worth a few.

"Oh, I won't give it to you!

"Karen!"

Lew scolds Karen for refusing to give up Crystal.

"That's what we need for the village. Give it to me."

"I don't like it. This is what I struggled to get."

Crystal in hand with a child in his arms.

It may be worth it as gold, but it's very disgraceful gold.

"The amount you're charging is too expensive in the first place."

"You just explained."

Tell me again the stories that I heard were irrelevant.

Now he seemed to understand, he seemed to snort, but soon he stood up with anger scattered around him.

"You have no such thing as good intentions!?

"... what do you mean?

"This village is home to you. If I help the village to be in dangerous condition, I charge a high reward. No blood, no tears."

Mr. Blaze looked after me when I was just becoming an adventurer.

He helps his hometown by taking on requests at low prices when his hometown village has trouble damaging demons.

Like that guy, Karen says I should help my hometown, too.

"I'm sorry, but this is still my conscience price"

Ten gold coins for A-rank adventurers.

Me and Noel may be weakened by the easy defeat of crystalline rhinos and electric deer, but it's a level threat that wouldn't be strange if the village were doomed by nature.

And even A-rank adventurers must be prepared to die from injuries and in the worst case scenario.

Considering the dangers, you can catch more rewards.

"Oh, yeah! You and those two filthy beasts were the only ones who actually fought."

"Ah!?

"Hih..."

When I heard Karen's words, I accidentally leaked my killer.

Because of the small number, he is an easy beast to discriminate against in the Kingdom of Metis, but there is no way he can bear to hear those words.

"Oops, excuse me"

Nevertheless, it's a bad idea to turn the average person to kill.

Karen has created a small puddle at her feet because she is now poised to kill. There's no reason to imitate that.

"You're making a mistake."

I don't really need to teach you, but I'm not going to put up with being mistaken for not doing my job, etc., so I'm going to tell you.
