Episode 237: Making Money (Sho)

Back in the guild, I even went to the Adventurer Request Reception instead of the Adventurer Registration Reception. That's what the receptionist told me.

Even at the reception, a beautiful elf (tentative) woman was the receptionist.

"Sorry, I completed the request..."

"Yes, then show me your guild card"

When I gave the guy my guild card, he told me to wait a minute and he took it to the back.

I came right back to the receptionist.

"Yes, so you're asking for a crusade to eradicate slime? Can you deliver at least 3 F-rank Demon Nukes?

Slime doesn't leave a body, so they judge him by his demonic nucleus. I gave the F-rank Demon Nucleus... five that came out of the normal slime.

"Yes, that's five! It's 20 bells per slime crusade and 20 bells per demon nucleus, so it's 200 bells in total."

"Please"

"This will be 200 bells, check it out"

I received 200 bells from her, or 2,000 yen.

I think I got the hang of it more or less because of this job.

Now, the next step is the Demon Nucleus... with something that will probably be the Demon Nucleus of the D-rank, which I was the first to accept, and the Adventurer Reception will boost the Adventurer Rank.

But you didn't tell me how many demon nuclei I could offer to go up to the E-rank...

In the meantime, I guess I should just submit two D-rank Demon Nukes.

Excuse me.

"Was that you earlier...? Didn't they go to the request?

"I'm done with that. Well, you want to increase your rank."

"So you got the Demon Nucleus?

"Yeah, on a quest"

I took two D-rank demon nukes out of my magic bag and gave them to the receptionist.

"This is it..."

"What...! There were two D-rank demons nearby!?

"Oh, no, if I defeat any one demon, about 5 of them came out of there at once..."

"What...! Was there a subspecies demon?

Either way, it was a surprise... Am I lucky? No, are you unlucky when you think about meeting strong enemies...?

"Yeah, that's right."

"That's unusual... But even if you run into it, I'm glad you could defeat the demon. Some adventurers, like Mr. Shaw, have been in action for some time now, and suddenly it's rarer to fly through a number of ranks, but if you're not the one who says that, you're really a beginner... you're freaking me out."

"Right..."

If so, you're glad this is it. Yeah. We need luck to get on with our lives, too.

"By the way. You have submitted your own D-Rank Demon Nucleus, so from now on, Master Shaw will be a D-Rank Adventurer. Please give me your adventurer card. Once we finish ranking up, we will return the Demon Nucleus."

I gave the adventurer's card to the receptionist as I was told.

The receptionist receives it and goes behind the counter. I came right back. That hand holds the D-rank Demon Nucleus 2 that I gave you and the Adventurer card that changed color.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Thank you"

I thanked the receptionist and I walked out of the guild, but for some reason I was surrounded by about four men along the way.

What is this, why are you surrounded? Does money scare you?

"Hey, brother. It sounded like a chill, didn't it? You defeated a subspecies demon, didn't you?

"Yeah, right?

"Kisheche, I mean, if you go and sell it, you'll get a lot of money, so it's a dimension."

I'm sure these people are saying that because they rank higher than me. After all, Lil wasn't here today and I was right. I don't want to put any extra stress on that kid.

"So, what?

Honestly, I don't feel like I can throw four opponents away. It's this world, too. I don't know how strong it is. If I have to, I have to give it to that subspecies very manly...

"I mean, wow... with us... bet reversing, huh? If we win, I'll give you that demon you hunted. If you win... yes, I'll do 10,000 bells if I beat all four of us"

Ha!? You think it's a wager reversion?

What the hell do you have to do in such a different world? What the hell happened?

But... I want 10,000 bells... no, I can't do anything if I'm surrounded by a man of strength...

I guess I'll take it.

When I was in junior high, I was in both Judo and Boardgame Sorority, and I don't know if it's a bad idea for me to deal with them.

Not to mention this is not Japan. Betting won't get you noticed.

"Okay."

"Whoa! That's what a man would do...!

"... Look, it's a big gold coin I promised"

"It's too strong..."

I received one large gold coin, 10,000 bells, from the tallest man. That's 100,000 yen.

And these people are too weak for you. Even if I had dreams, I wouldn't have been so weak. Shih - you managed to play decently just the cliche guy.

"You always would have won, wouldn't you?

"It was true -... At first glance, it was amazing how well the country folks have been able to reverse the fashion so far lately..."

What's the matter, Riversi was born in this world recently? That's what you say sometimes.

It's been about half an hour since we fought four fights, right? It's time to buy Lil and my lunch.

Regardless, I have to sell the slime of the subspecies at a store that has everything the adventurer needs, next to this guild.

Do you use the Demon Nucleus for your skills?

"Well, here I am."

"Ah, oh. Be careful."

"Also, we're going to play with reversi -!

I left the guild. And go into the store next door.

Inside it was a few times bigger than it looked and many things were sold.

I found a purchasing corner inside the store and took it to the reception where I specialize in demons.

"Excuse me, I'd like to sell it"

"Aye, what demons?

"Uh, no, I mean a big slime..."

"Big slime...? Oh, Large Slime. Over here."

That said the uncle went into the back of the reception. I follow that, too.

There was an even bigger room on the way in.

"Then get him out of here."

"Yes."

I took the white large slime out of my magic bag and placed it on a beautiful white table.

"Ooh!? It's a subspecies! Seriously -... that's rare. Where'd you find it?

"No, near here"

"Uh, sure don't find it rare. More or less once a year… no, it was every two years"

With that said, my uncle looked at the Large Slime subspecies using all sorts of tools.

And after a while, I nod with my arms around me.

"Hey, that's 70,000 bells."

"To... is it 70,000 bells!?

"Yeah, the D-rank demons are supposed to be somewhat above 5,000 to 10,000 bells or so...... The subspecies are rare, stronger than regular D-rank demons, and so on. So, 70,000 bells, okay?

"Yeah, yeah! Absolutely."

I mean, I made 800,000 yen today... even though I was lucky. Sure is amazing. Shit.

I received 70,000 bells from my uncle and went back to Lil with a hawk.
