I Said Make My Abilities Average!

"... So, what can I do for you?

Even after a meal, Lena is only my pace. She is not the kind of woman who uses salutations like the village chief.

Nothing, it doesn't mean you can't use respectful language. When I was in business with my father, I spoke properly and politely to my customers. But now Lena uses a salutation, except for the aristocratic opponent, who is also hostile to us.

Well, a lot of hunters are like that, so I can't help it. It is something that goes into a strong attitude, uses abusive language, and speaks in a great way, especially those who have to be vain, those who are unsure of themselves.

"Oh, oh, first, listen to me"

The other guests finished their meals, and in the cafeteria, only the Red Oath and the village chiefs. Except for the guests, they were about regular guests who would come as soon as it was time for dinner to start, and none came later than the Miles.

And naturally, there was no way these innkeepers knew the village chief's face, but they pulled into the back of the kitchen by leaning against the chair in the "Red Vows" table and serving cups filled with water to the village chiefs who sat there, saying take their time.

And an old man named the village chief started talking. Apparently, he declined the maneuver to go out into a strong attitude and take the lead, a tone that normally speaks to first-person hunters.

And according to that story......

From this village, a few hours walk in the street and perpendicular direction, there is a certain mountain.

No, of course, there are mountains all around this part of the mountain, but the mountain was a mountain with a slight problem.

And the mountain was for a long time a mountain with golems.

As elsewhere, the Golem did not come out of a certain range, including its mountains, and there was nothing wrong with the villagers because of the lack of appearance of an increase in its number. For a village with mountains all around it, there is no disadvantage whatsoever, as close to one mountain. Moreover, when it became quite remote, there was really nothing more troubling than shards.

It's not that there are only resources in that mountain, or that special herbs and prey can be caught, because it's a common, very ordinary mountain.

There, one day, the children arrived.

It's called a stray child.

The truth is, if you're sleeping in the same place, whether it's under the bridge or the grass on the river plains, it seems to be 'homeless' rather than 'homeless', but, well, I don't care about the details.

To confuse them with orphanage children when you say 'orphans', or around here (ah) Ri, it seems customary for everyone to call them 'stray children' regardless of whether they are settled. Not as a decent dwelling, but as a reference to abandoned houses or digging huts, or just people sleeping under grass or trees.

Anyway, the children who were supposed to be in the territory but somehow lived without being attacked by the Golems were also harmless to the villagers, not causing any trouble. Because it doesn't affect the villagers in any way as much as the mountain vegetables and small animals that the children collect or hunt, and that's where the villagers originally stay away...

And some of the villagers went out of their way to 'dump' what was no longer needed up to that mountain.

Such a "peculiar but not particularly problematic mountain" seems to have been in some disturbing situation recently.

"To throw away clothes, pots, hard-baked bread, etc. that are no longer needed," a few suspicious men, that as usual, a favorite villager who visited the mountain saw.

And either we launch an attack here, or a rock golem that shouldn't be attacking us unless we're close to the territory, fights those people and says the men have retreated.

"That mountain doesn't have many fierce demons because the Rock Golem lives there. There are a lot of things that are relatively safe, well, that don't really attack humans from themselves, that are warm or slow moving or grass-fed. Like a rock rabbit or a rock snake.

... Rock wolves come out once in a while, but not that many. I hear the Golems will get rid of the impatient demons soon.

So well, you say what you want to say... "

That being said, the village chief bowed his head against the 'Red Vow'.

"I want you to investigate the suspicious men and the golem that seems to have started attacking humans, and see if there's any danger with the stray kid who finally found his place."

With that said, the village chief stares in turn at the four faces of The Red Vow.

"I don't understand the purpose of the men that they were fighting rock golems. There's nothing golden-eyed over there, and I don't think I'm going to grab the kids and make them illegal slaves.

However, there are as many possible dangers as Rock Golem begins attacking the children by considering humans as enemies or getting into battle.

But if you don't know what's going on or what's going on, you can't make a request to Hunter Guild.

If we make a request in the current situation, how much reward do we have to offer here, far from the city, such as a request that doesn't even know how dangerous it is...

Even though there's no danger in the village, we can't use important village funds for unrelated stray children. So I just happen to be able to get a hunter who stops by to take on the investigation for a cheap reward...

53 silver coins. Now, I want you to take it on!

Apparently, the village chief watched as he stared at everyone, not out of malice, but because he was pushing his emotions to death while biting his teeth off.

There are quite a few reasons why a city can be in a certain place.

Accommodation towns, where streets intersect rivers or where major streets intersect, famous tourist destinations, ports, mining and other industries thrive, defensively important points, and at regular intervals of major streets.

Each small town can be formed at intervals at which passenger carriages travel to a day, and likewise at intervals at which carriages travel to a day, where both overlap, there can be a slightly larger town.

This is a route off them, at a point off, well, if you say so, 'de rural village'. The traffic is low, the road is narrow, and the carriage cannot be different without the use of a shelter.

Still, compared to small villages such as marginal settlements in the back of the mountains, it is far 'civilized area'......

Don't lick the real 'country village' thing. There is a truly, truly outrageous place, in the world...

Just going down the big streets is all I know about the big cities, the lodging towns and other relatively prosperous places. Between the city and the city, in other words, in order to know also about the small villages and undeveloped lands, occasional stops away from the main streets to the woods and mountain villages were also necessary for the training journey.

And at that time, because of the distance to the city where the guild branch is located, or because there is no money, we may hit villages where we cannot ask the guild to do so, and it is the flavor of the "training journey" that solves them with a cheap commission and leaves them.

It is not something that is rare in a normal city, such as newbie hunters being sincerely appreciated. So that's what the young rookie hunters want to do sometimes.... Until I became a middle-aged ten-year-old C-rank hunter who was chased by my daily life and couldn't afford a request not to be gold to polish my mind...

And of course, "The Red Oath" was also about the age I wanted to take that kind of request.... especially Mavis, Mavis, Mavis.

"I'll take care of it! We..."

"Let me think"

Pauline blocked Mavis, who tried to take it on in a mundane reply.

"The reply is, tomorrow..."

"I'll take it."

"" Huh?

And furthermore, Lena blocked Pauline's words in an attempt to postpone the reply and replied to the acceptance.

Pauline and Mavis raised their voices as if they were surprised, but the miles were flat. I'm just saying it's natural for Lena to say that...

"Why did you answer instantly! Fifty-three pieces of silver coins is less than half the price! Well, you can make it a little cheaper, but in the world, there's something called a fair market…"

After hearing all the information I needed, I was officially requested directly without going through the Hunter Guild as a 'Freedom Request', the 'Red Vow'.

After the village chiefs returned, Pauline ate and hung against Lena, who decided to take the request on her own. It's usually a relatively warm Pauline, but when money gets involved, it's pretty loud.

"In the first place, when there are hunters who take it too cheap than the market, the whole other hunters are annoyed! No matter how much you discount here, you have to get at least 3 small coins per person or 12 small coins for a total of 4 people..."

"How much did you negotiate? I won't answer that much."

"Huh?"

On a training journey, there are a few things to serve in troubled rural villages.

Pauline knows that much too. Fifty-three pieces of silver coins, however, were too cheap. For that reason, I thought we could at least negotiate a little more...

"Fifty-three pieces of silver coins is halfway through everything. Three fewer pieces, fifty pieces of silver coins. And don't say 'five small gold coins' to present the amount, normally."

"Yes, that's true..."

To Lena's point, Pauline returns the word of convincing.

"That means, 'There are fifty-three pieces of silver coins with jalajara'. And you don't lose three pieces to make it a good amount of cut, but as much as there is, all of it, right?

And furthermore, the words the village chief was saying earlier. "Even though there's no danger in the village, we can't spend important village funds for unrelated stray children"... "

"Ah..."

"I mean, that's not the village budget, is it?

"The villagers came out with each other, donations? And without a pin hane, its full price......"

To Lena's words, Mavis muttered so.

"Well, you can't help it, can you? Friendship on one, faith on the other. On the third is Yoshito (yesterday), who makes money from four to seven!

"" "" That's us, "The Red Vow"!!

Miles of words are followed by four people who chant out loud.

... Of course, the three of us knew it: Miles, Mavis and Pauline.

That Lena, although not as obvious as miles, is always concerned about orphans and stray children in the city of stops. And the reason why Lena cares so much about orphans and stray children.

... if Lena can't pick it up for the hunter party Red Lightning when she loses her father.

And if, after everyone in "Red Lightning" was killed, Lena would have followed (Michi) without her talent as a magician and the knowledge and skills taught to everyone in "Red Lightning".

Yes, for "I Could Have Been One Of The Floaters, One Girl," you lack cash income, and the idiots who offer silver coins for the floaters who aren't even villagers. To that end, you like to bow your head like a hunter's little girl.

They all reached out to Lena, just like those people...
