I took an hour off with a feeling like that and waited for Hopkovlin's friends who might not know if they'd come back, but no matter how long they waited, they didn't come. Of course, there were 23 in the Abandoned Mine.
Even though the kids who went hunting will be back in an hour, they killed all the 20 Hopgoblins in the Abandoned Mine, so this is where the quest ends.
"I've waited long enough. Let's go down."
Lina frowns on me and carries a sack. The sack was filled with 23 headaches, clumps, and other miscellaneous agricultural equipment, and was quite bulky.
Will Lina be able to bear the weight of her weak body?
But that is the weight of life for those who live as F-class adventurers.
If you can't handle the weight of pressing your shoulders, you'll just end up crushing and stumbling.
This world is not a friendly world, because it is a child. Even a poor girl can't get a fair wage if she doesn't do as much work as an adult. It is natural.
Cheer up, sister.
"Lina, isn't it heavy?"
"Oh, no. It's okay. I'm used to it these days."
"Let's go, then."
Then we came down the mountain in the same position as the road.
If you're lucky, you'll be able to get back to your place in a few days. Of course, if there's a wagon left. Without it, I have no choice but to spend another day unhindered.
Immediately, I went to the chief's house and knocked on the door.
- Kung kung.
"Hmm?"
I knocked about three times and waited, so I opened the chief's door.
He looked at us for a moment and opened his mouth.
"Didn't you guys go up in the morning? I thought I'd be back by the end of the day..."
"It's easier than I thought. So let's see."
I ordered Lina to pour the sack into the yard. Degur, the heads of the Hopgoblins are scattered in the yard.
"Oh, oh! Hopgoblin!"
The chief who saw it burst into cheers. The chief looks here and there with a happy face, grasping his head that rolled to his feet.
"There were 23 of them. The inside of the pulmonary gland was wiped out and came back."
"You did a good job of asking the guild! I never thought the problem would be solved so quickly!"
Since then, I've been talking to the chief about the remaining Hopgoblins, but they don't seem to be a problem. He immediately handed over the guild's documents confirming the achievement of the quest.
"Well done. Oh, and there was a wagon this morning. I'll still be waiting, so when you get back, you can take it."
Luckily, there's a wagon.
I can go back to my place today.
"Thank you. Oh, but aren't you willing to buy loot or something? A couple of farming utensils are worth it."
"A pillaged farming device. There's nothing bad about it, but unfortunately, there is no money left to spend on the guild... Is it possible to exchange goods?"
The obsolete farming apparatus also decided to dispose of it. It feels the same as taking back a lost item, but it's a loot, so we have a right.
It's too bad you don't get cash, but this is also a reward for your favour. I decided to get some groceries and hand them over.
"But you don't need a rod? Or the leather that the Hopgoblins were wearing. Arming the vigilantes with this would be fun."
"Well, I don't think that's necessary. And it doesn't seem like much fun."
Even though I picked and brought some things that seemed useful because I didn't know them, I couldn't sell them either. The same is true of dirty leather. Who would buy such rubbish?
We have to dispose of this.
Lina notices the things poured out of the sack.
"Hey, Lina. Just take them all with you."
"Yes, yes?"
"The rod and the leather are all yours. I don't think I need it."
Why don't you just throw it away? Let's give Lina all the guilt she deserves. Lina nods in a panic. He smiles awkwardly and says, "Thank you?"
People also have to make donations sometimes.
"Let's go back now."
The chief and we greeted each other and headed to the entrance of the village.
One of the wagons is waiting. The Horseman shook his hand at us. I will rejoice because I have a guest on my way back.
"Ma'am, can we get to Istanbul?"
"Absolutely!"
I immediately paid 30 coopers and boarded the wagon.
"Nigga."
"Hmm? Why?"
Winia, who entered first, sat down and looked at me. This time, I looked at him because I wanted to know what was going on, and I frowned and knocked on his side with my hand.
... seemed to be a sign to sit next to him.
"But I refuse."
"What?"
"No way, Winia."
"Tsk. I just don't have a son of a bitch."
I immediately sat across from her. Claudie then came up and sat next to me, and Lina sat next to Winia. Winia turns her head as if discontent.
Sifal.
"Hmm, Cat. It's good to be on the wagon. Can we get in before the glottis closes?"
"Probably not. It's a little late."
Claudie, sitting next to me, said:
Even if you say you're going back to Istanbul today, you won't be able to enter the city when you arrive at night. Considering yesterday's traffic time, no matter how fast it goes, it will arrive after the sun runs out.
Then it will be tomorrow morning to return to the property.
Child, fuck. This is why long distance quests are ambiguous.
Since the time I come and go, I catch and touch my ankle.
Most Class D quests seem to be like this, but even if I give you a lot of money, I feel uncomfortable in many ways.
Anyway, the wagon has left.
Time was still day, but I'm tired of using my stamina.
After a while, Winia turns her head and looks at me, she starts to get sleepy. I heard that chain lightning is a bit powerful magic, so it eats a lot of Mana. If Mana escapes rapidly, she gets seriously tired.
I was tired too, so I just leaned on Claudie's shoulder. I fell asleep and woke up.
"--Are you there already?"
It was dark around here when I woke up.
Yes. I arrived in the city, but the gate is closed and I can't get in. The horse arrives and asks you to get off. I got off the wagon with a non-dreamy spirit and stretched.
"You slept without knowing the world?"
"My shoulders are so cozy."
The yawn came out of me. As I looked around, I saw more and more wagons coming and going with adventurers who couldn't make time. They're all setting fire and preparing to spend the night. Some of them hit small tents, and others went into their sleeping bags and asked for sleep.
It is a typical walled landscape of the night.
I spend the night in front of the wall and enter in the morning because things are always late. They're gathering to set fire, so monsters don't attack. There are a lot of witnesses around here, so they don't commit crimes.
Then we must also be prepared to spend the night.
"... nigga. Go get some wood."
Winia creates a small fire seed at the end of the staff, she said. The fire means you will set it on fire, so prepare for it. Immediately, they gathered stone blinds, trees, and fire seals to build a campfire nearby.
After Winia set fire, I decided to take out the groceries that had been exchanging water and bake them properly. A salted meat with a rustic feel. I stabbed a branch and roasted it, so my body warmed up and I was satisfied.
So I set the night on fire in front of the wall.
* * *
As soon as morning came, the guards opened the gates.
There were so many people that a little long procession followed. I rubbed my eyes and went into the city along the line. I was so tired even though I slept that long. The quality of sleep is the most important thing.
Immediately, I stopped by the guild to receive the reward for the success of my first D-class quest, and deducted the cost of transportation and divided it into three. I just decided to pay Lina. I had to take care of my sister as my brother Dory.
"Hey, it's Lini. Take the money."
"Ah...!"
I threw Lina a a 5-Cooper coin, so I took it and said thank you. How many scoundrels are in the world who only pay a fair wage, but don't even do it.
"Thank you, brother!"
"Now get the fuck out of here."
I waved my hand at Lina like that. The girl disappeared into the city with a sack of her own body... Live strong in the mountains.
"Hey, Winia. I remember that when I saw him."
"What's wrong?"
It reminded me of what happened in the past.
"A few years ago, you and I were working with that little Lenan bitch who was doing something. When I was Class F. That was probably the Goblin Subjugation Quest, anyway. The patterns are eating away from me every day."
It was definitely the first time we met in Winia and Krassheim. I decided to give him five coupons a day, and I gave him one just like a joke. At that time, I couldn't even eat because of that evil prank and asked to sleep in the street.
When I think about it, I wake up and scream.
It's one of my old traumas.
Lena Winia may not know it, but that chewer could never forgive her.
I always think that when I meet you, I'll give you a slaughter. It's not easy to see a human face in this vast world. I just hope the opportunity comes.
"... I remember that very well. Then you remember the next time a nigger came with a fucking knife? And you ran away?"
"Of course it looks like yesterday. And it wasn't a runaway, it was just a strategic retreat. Anyway, if you think about it, you got nothing to say to me?"
He shrugs and replies, and Winia looks at me.
"What do you have to say? You want me to apologize to the nigger?"
"No, not necessarily. When I look at Lina, I think about it for a second. Lena and Lina have similar names. You're both fucking bastards. As if they were practically the same person."
In fact, Winia has no feelings.
Once upon a time, emotions were neutralized by the mixing of bodies. Instead, all those negative emotions were directed at Lena. I need to ask you where she lives this time.
"... I don't."
"Huh?"
"I'm sorry, nigga. I'm sorry. Are you ready?"
"Huh? Uh..."
I just stabbed him once, and he apologized surprisingly mildly.
I was a little embarrassed.
She came close to me like that.
"How about an apology?"
"Joe, that's fucking enough."
"... I see."
Winia turns around and says so.
"I'm coming. See you later, nigga."
"Uh, that, yeah."
"I'm going to stay there because I told you last time."
Then I walked out.
"... if you think so, come see me anytime. I'll be waiting."
"..."
There was nothing I could say to her that left a meaningful word. I looked back at Claudie in the mood. She was watching me with a playful smile.
"Nigga?"
As I approached him, I was suddenly called that and I was frightened.
"Ah! Don't call me that!"
"Huhuhu, why? Is that all you can call her?"
"I don't know, damn it!"
Just as it warms me up, Claudie, who bends my waist, moves in accordance with my steps.
"Hmmm... Personally, Kat, you think it's okay if you follow her right now... you think this is gonna upset you?"
"Good. I know. Claudie, we need to get a little confused with me today."
Claudie, who smiled delusionally at me, said, biting my ear.
"Oh, I'm scared. How do you intend to be specific?"
Ha, that's gross.
"Of course, I should give you snow as your compass."
"What--!"
Inhaled with all my might, I sang intensely about whether to leave for Bello or Myeong-dong. As always, it was rather the end of the journey.
Claudie tried to frighten me and stop my mouth, but I was a true thinker who did not compromise with anyone as much as when I sang. My song rang in the street.
Claudie's face was instantly tinged with contemplation.
I never let her go, holding her waist tight, trying to walk away.
It was my most precious audience.
