Kanna no Kanna

Episode 38 Cute things have (physically) spines

After leaving the room where the crystal was placed, we stayed at a cheap hotel recommended by staff. Adventurers who earn little money can use the guild card at a reasonable concession for long-term use. As expected, there was no bath, but there was no problem because there was a public bath in the neighborhood.

The day after accepting the proposal of the Ryujin Granny, I visited the Adventurer's Guild Branch and got my guild card safely. Two as you said.

"Are you good? Never! Both! At the same time! Do not lose! Please !?"

A familiar female staff member has responded since yesterday, but it seems like some kind of devastating feeling when handing over the card. Isn't unacceptable processing unacceptable? It may be better to buy a special container so that you do not lose it. And I would like to thank her if she has the opportunity.

The two guild cards have my name on them.

"Mr. Kanna is now fine and a part of the adventurer."

Let's say it's okay even though you have a little trouble but the result is all right.

Let's take a request immediately.

"Then I'll do my best, Mr. Kanna. I'll work with sincerity to repay my debt as soon as possible!" "Then, do your best," "Wafu!"

When he stroked his head again, Chloe's motivation increased dramatically. He ran with his tail and ears up to Bing, where the C rank request was posted.

She has a one-handed sword on her waist purchased at an arms store yesterday. Of course I am the investor. It seems that Chloe's specialty is not "one-handed sword", but it seems that the one on her waist is the closest to using it now.

A glance at Chloe's back as he leaves, I turn to the staff.

Explanations from staff who have been reminded begin.

"Kanna-sama says that this is the first registration, so only the first request will be fulfilled by the request specified here. First of all, you will need to learn the flow of order processing, Above, please choose at your own discretion "

It's like a simple tutorial. It is kind to newcomers. I read the game's instructions firmly.

"There are three main types of requests"

Hunting system such as defeat of monsters.

A collection system that brings back the catalyst and materials needed for alchemy and blending.

Miscellaneous things that do not fall into either of these.

"Which system do you want to use this time?"

The staff took out a piece of paper that seemed to be a request letter. In the center is a picture of a rabbit with horns (very precise), and at the bottom is a brief description of the request.

"The contents are also described in the request letter, but if you submit this to the receptionist, more detailed explanation will be given by the staff. If you are satisfied with it after hearing the details, the order receipt certificate Will be signed. This completes the order processing for the request. "

And I took out another paper-anonymous acceptance certificate from the request.

"By the way, this request is a hunting for a designated number of" horns. " Is a kind of food that is considered to be more expensive than normal livestock.This time, if you can deliver a certain number of horns, the request is completed, but if you also deliver meat without damaging as much as possible There is an additional reward, which applies to all hunting events. "

I remember a certain mon * n. Ale was a system where extra rewards were earned when captured.

"This is true for any rank or type of request, but it is important that no matter how attractive the rewards are, they do not want to be overwhelmed. Some individuals are extremely difficult to collect their parts, so please make a request with that in mind. "

I'm not going to be careless against monsters, but listening to the staff members makes me even more nervous. This is a reality for me, even if the system is similar to Mohan. Until I arrived at this city, I had experienced it.

"Do you want this request?" "Please"

Well, my first request as an adventurer has finally begun.

The hunted hares live anywhere in this continental forest. Premium ingredients are used because they are more dangerous than livestock and normal rabbits and cannot be captured by non-combatants.

I'm heading to a forest about 30 minutes south of Draknir.

"Yes, I got the confirmation. I think that the hare lives in a relatively shallow part of the forest, so I can find it quickly. Be careful because it's fatal," "Yes, thank you."

Show a request form to a soldier at the gate located at the entrance of the forest and get permission to enter.

This forest is treasured as a treasure trove of natural materials near the city, and is officially managed by Diagal to prevent overfishing of the flora and fauna that inhabit it. There is a fence standing around the wall. If you try to get over this wall illegally from a place other than the gate, the magic provided on the wall will react, and soldiers will immediately rush from the gate.

Furthermore, the guards at the checkpoint are all dragon races. I have never seen a battle sight, but the fighting power is top class among all races. It was a perfect arrangement for security with fewer personnel.

After checking the equipment on both arms and legs again, I entered the forest.

In retrospect, it may be the first time you have visited a land full of trees since you came to the fantasy world. Until now, snow mountains, meadows and valleys are the main. I saw the forest in the distance and never came.

"The air without a heart is delicious. This is Ma-nas-on."

While muttering, etc., he keeps on guarding around.

After entering the forest, I encountered a monster like a caterpillar or a familiar goblin, but the rabbit monster that I was seeking did not appear at all. Also, I used to work with animals other than monsters, but even if it was something like a deer or a rabbit, the horns did not grow. The horned rabbit is a premium ingredient, but not a super rare monster. However, in the forest where a wide variety of flora and fauna inhabits, including monsters, searching for the kind of tribe you want seems more difficult than you might think.

Two hours after the search began, I finally found a horned rabbit-shaped beast.

I was moaning about hunting, and I grew involuntarily.

“……… Cute cute brute”

The horned rabbit is a rabbit itself, except for the sharp horns at the position between the eyebrows that humans call. Long ears growing from the top of the head, plump body hair and a full tail. Above all, I hate that blunt eyes. Despite being a monster, he hesitates to kill.

And so far, we've already killed a few beasts, and even in unavoidable situations, committed murder. It is wrong to hesitate to kill just saying "cute" now.

As the inner sway fluctuated in such a conflict, my gaze coincided with the tiger.

"Kiss!"

Where did that cute and adorable face go?

When the horned rabbit saw me in front of her gaze, she screamed violently, exposing her fangs, and, for a moment, she burst into force and jumped. The gap between before and after is too severe. It's just an angel and I think it's ok.

I heard later that, contrary to that pretty appearance, the hare is a very fierce carnivore that attacks several times more than her own without fear, without hesitation, and without hesitation. Those adorable adventurers who are unfamiliar with appearance seem to respond slowly and often fall into a catastrophe, with the nickname attached to "Kids Kill Newbies."

"Wow !?"

Fortunately, I felt killed before the rabbit began to move, and my body reacted faster than my face changed. He jumps sideways with a sad scream.

The horned rabbit, which swung over a sharp corner, went straight through the space I was on the verge of and hit the single tree that grew behind it. With a light noise, the corner of the first feature, which was named after, pierced the tree trunk to the root. The sharpness and momentum that seem to penetrate the human body lightly.

I managed to avoid the piercing of "Beginner Killer" and immediately prepared an ice ax to prepare for the next attack.

The rabbit was flapping, piercing the corner of a tree trunk.

………… Is it too deeply stuck and can't come out?

As we also heard later, the horned rabbit is undoubtedly a ferocious carnivorous beast, and is synonymous with killing newbies. However, it seems that the head is not very good, and if the prey is in front of you, hunting it will take over all of your head and completely forget the surrounding situation.

In the woods full of these trees, I often fall into the stupid situation right before my eyes. It is a daily sight in the area where the horned rabbits live.

With no knowledge of the dew at this time, I approached carefully behind the struggling horned rabbit and smashed a blade-crushed large ax over the rabbit's neck. When the stiffness came through the handle, the rabbit stopped moving and became weaker, hanging on a tree.

Somehow secure the first hunting target.

Surely good meat is eligible for extra rewards. Apply “Bleeding” while hanging. Until now, I've never encountered an edible monster, but I learned from Real how to do it.

When it was over, the bunny was pulled out of the stuck tree. This guy was hard work, and finally he managed to pull out the corner using giant pliers made of spirits. The horns did not break or were chilled on the way, but the rabbit horns, including the skull, were stronger than expected. Processing would be difficult, but it is excellent as a material.

The horned rabbit's corpse is thrown into a hunting bag provided by the guild. It's sturdy and impermeable to water. In addition, cold air is created by spiritism and filled in the bag. This keeps the rabbit meat from rotting easily.

The second one was found without any particular difficulty. This is because I remembered the hare as a tribe. When I walked through the woods, I was able to find the hare immediately as if it were a lie when I first encountered it.

Fortunately, the first hunter found a way to hunt a hare. Without feeling a sense of crisis, always face the horned rabbit behind a tree. Avoid the area where it jumps instantly. Strike the neck at the corner where the corner is stuck in the tree and stick it to death. Then, like a rotation, draw blood and stuff the rabbits from the tree into corners.

One hour later, the hunting of the guild's designated number of defeated five hares had been completed. Moreover, when the last one was discovered, the horn had already pierced the tree. "Is this right? 』And while rushing, it was relentlessly extinct and secured.

The sun is still high in heaven, just after noon. The horns could still be hunted if elaborate sensors were used, but they should be stopped. Although not strictly prohibited, the guild does not recommend hunting monsters in excess of a specified number. Despite being a harmful monster, hunting more than necessary can destroy nearby ecosystems—in other words, the food chain. Of course, some species are recommended to be defeated, such as goblins, but the hare is not included.

The key to longevity is to make the right decision. I decided to go straight back to the forest entrance.

However, he encountered one horned rabbit on his way home, so he hunted him alone. All specified minutes must be submitted to the guild, but any further hunting becomes the property of the adventurer.

As I said many times, the meat of the hare is a bit of luxury. I was really worried about the taste, so I reserved it for my own use.

I returned to Draknir in search of an adventurer's guild, with the hope of a dish I had never tasted.
