I Shall Survive Using Potions!

The next morning, the hunters' order rush was over, and the hustle and bustle finally subsided at the reception desk on the first floor of the Hunter Guild branch...

"... do you want me to escort you?"

“Yes, it's not a trip to another town, it's an escort while you're in town.”

…………

It is not surprising that the receptionist looks strange.

It is not uncommon for an escort to be requested, but it is mainly for the merchant corps to move to another town. Few would ask an escort to escort them out of the city.

Of course, aristocrats and rich people will be escorted in the town, but that is your ministers, knights, soldiers, and the dedicated escort of regular employees. If it is a request for appointment, it is not necessary to hire hunters with seemingly low trustworthiness in general requests that do not appoint the contractor.

Moreover, the fact that a minor child does not ask for a parent or an accompanying adult to do so himself...

Besides, if the child is wearing a sorcerer's clothes, the mystery will deepen.

The minor shrine maiden belongs to the temple.

I don't think that it is possible to hire an escort by acting alone like this.

Kaoru (Edith) is wearing a very ordinary shrine maiden clothes that are slightly different from the shrine maidens under the shrine, but obviously she is a shrine maiden.

It is quite normal that the clothes of priests differ slightly depending on the country and sect, so that is not a problem.

Therefore, Kaoru (Edith) must be thought to be a very ordinary civilian shrine maiden.

Therefore, if you hire an escort to travel to other towns on your own, it was out of the ordinary for a receptionist to hire an escort for a civilian child... perhaps an apprentice...

So, she was a receptionist who was a little confused and cut off her words... "

I got a hammer on my head!

"Geez! Excuse me, I'm asking for an escort..."

The senior receptionist in charge of the counter next door kicked me in the shin and continued to speak in a panic.

... yes. The receptionist of the Hunter's Guild will have to handle any requests with a smile.

Always calm, knowledgeable and good judgment, gain absolute trust from hunters and clients. This is the elite position that the women admire, the receptionist of the guild.

Strong guidance was needed for juniors who imitated an unconventional image that shaken their trust.

"Yes, from three to about five people. The strength is enough to beat four to five regular soldiers, with three or four being more than one, and five being more than two women.

For the time being, ten days. If it is to be extended, the continuation contract shall remain as agreed by both parties. If there is no agreement, the contract expires on the spot. We are here to recruit the next guard.

If my business ends earlier than planned, I will terminate my escort contract, but I will pay the full 10-day escort fee. ”

"... noo..."

Kaoru, who thought it shouldn't be a bad condition, wondered when she saw the receptionist thinking a little bit.

Um, is there a problem?

"Ah, no, there is no problem with the request." However, if there is a binding that includes women, there will be a limited number of parties that can accept requests...

No, I understand the situation, of course. It's scary for a girl to be full of men, and it would be helpful if you had female escorts for bathing, picking flowers, sleeping in the same room, etc..... "

In fact, it is well known that only men can attack the guards themselves, so choosing a party that includes women to reduce the danger when escorting one of the women closely, but it seemed that it was foolish to say that from the guild staff.

However, such requests are made when going out of town, which means that virtual enemies are monsters and bandits.

With three to four ordinary hunters, you can get rid of loose orcs, a few goblins, and even twice as many Kobolts, such as bandits, scum who couldn't be a soldier or a hunter, and who wouldn't even train every day.

However, when a virtual enemy becomes a soldier, this is not the case.

There are few parties that can beat the same number of soldiers without killing or injuring themselves, and most of them do not include women in their membership.

Moreover, such a powerful party will not accept requests for escorts from civilian girls all over the town. "As long as the girl isn't a princess of some country..."

And Caorle didn't look like a princess at all.

No matter how hard you try, you are at best the villainous daughter of the bitten dog.

Besides, if you hire an escort under such conditions, you are probably convinced that you will be attacked (...).

Otherwise, civilians would not be able to hire expensive escorts all over this rather secure town.

... moreover, a shrine maiden who shouldn't normally be attacked.

Usually, even bandits don't attack shrine maidens and priests...

"In addition to the few parties that meet the conditions, the receiver of this request......"

"The reward is 50 gold coins."

Huh?

Solidified, receptionist.

Fifty gold coins have a sensation of about 5 million yen in Japan.

Five million yen worth of rewards for 10 days of escort around town.

For a party of five, one million yen per person.

If there are three of them, it is equivalent to 1,670,000 yen.

That's just ten days or less...

It's in the town, so if you get hurt, you can quickly run into doctors, pharmacists, temples, etc., and if you can hold on for just a short time, you can become a guard and other hunters and ask for help.

Moreover, in the first place, it is unlikely that there will be those who attack ordinary girls who are shrine maidens, and even if there are such strange people, the probability of large numbers and organized people will be low. It is normal to judge that way.

Then, this is an unbelievably delicious request... "

We'll take that request!

Huh?

The caorle and the receptionist's voice were dumbfounded.

And......

I got a hammer on my head!

Giggle!

Once again, a tear-eyed receptionist kicked into my shin from the senior next to me.

This request will be accepted by us, the [Scorching War Maiden].

Rather than being pasted on the request board, the guild has not even officially accepted the order yet.

Scratching it from the side is a clear violation of the rules.

But fortunately or unhappily, there was now no other hunter party here that met the conditions offered by Kaoru.

mainly in the part that includes women... "

If there were any other parties that could accept this request, it would be odd if there were only one party.

Hopefully, 50 gold coins in 10 days without doing anything.

Even if this girl were attacked, she would only have to fight and kill her enemies.

Make a fortune walking around town or on a day trip.

If it was a party that could accept orders, it was not strange to jump on it.

I don't even have to wonder why a common shrine maiden would give 50 gold coins for such a request.

"But, everyone in [Scorching Battle Maiden] doesn't have much experience in interpersonal battles..."

"Everyone, this is the first time." No one has ever experienced a veteran before, right? And we have a good track record in fighting monsters, right? There's not a single level of party and scarlet color that can kick a few soldiers in an interpersonal battle..... "

Indeed, this party, "Scorching War Maiden", has slaughtered multiple augers and gray bears many times, rather than orcs. In terms of combat power, I was certainly fully qualified to receive orders.

"... uu, hah, yes, well..." but..... "

Hang on!

"Giggle!!... ha, yes, I see..."

However, if we meet with the client and pass, we will do it. ”

Under the counter that was invisible to the customer, the receptionist who seemed to have suffered a lot of damage to her shin, wept at the back of her eyes, but she still affirmed it with a crisp expression.

"That's fine." Now, please process the order from the requester and continue to process the order application from us. "

And then, Kaoru, who looks at the treatment with a warm face.

"Scorching Battle Maiden."

It was a party of five women, as the party name suggests... "
