My First Trip was to Another World

After the church, I bought all the supplies. The fields of Erminssur have not yet begun to harvest in earnest, so I have no food to feed. I also bought a little extra for the elves.

I also bought extra fabrics to make clothes. Pretty excited, all demonic material. Make everything from everyday clothes with demonic materials. Because it is usually worn, I chose a light and supple material like spider yarn.

The elves are usually hand sewn, so all sewing work is scheduled to be thrown round the elves. Give them some cloth and food as their reward. I can't make it for combat, but it's cheaper than asking for it in Wangdu.

When you're done shopping the streets, face the Adventurer Guild at the end. To redeem Wyburn. It's a level that I can process into materials and use myself, but I just sell it because I can't think of anything I need in particular.

It's 500 gold coins anyway... It's painful to die without using it.

When I opened the door to the Adventurer Guild, Mr. Elysia welcomed me, as usual.

"Long time no see"

"Hey. Long time no see."

A gentle greeting, Elysia says, frowning uncomfortably.

"I heard you got a request from the church..."

I didn't go through the Adventurer Guild with this request, but it looks like I only heard rumors.

"Oh, right. It's over."

"Good luck...... That would have been a cheap request, wouldn't it?

"No, I didn't. The reward was low, but it was a lucrative enough job."

It's a huge deficit considering the reward alone, but thanks to Wyburn, it's going to be a huge black deficit. It was worth climbing the mountain.

"That's good to hear. Every request from the church was cheap, so I was worried."

Mr. Elysia grated her breasts. He seemed to care. Well, all requests from churches on guild bulletin boards are extra-legal cheap. I don't think I'm going to take it without a special reason.

The request for this hand is to be undertaken by a newcomer without rank or by an adventurer seconded by the church. The fact that ordinary adventurers cannot take it means that the Church is also aware of it.

This time I took it on because the demon purchase was going to be expensive. Otherwise, I would have refused, even if it had been a request from the king.

"Ma, that depends on the amount of money I buy. Ask for an assessment. Be careful when you get it out of the big guy."

That's what I said, I offered you a magic bag with Wyburn in it. Expect to buy a high price because I finished in the prettiest condition I've ever had.

"Okay. Please wait."

Mr. Elysia said that and pulled back. When assessing large demons, use the training area behind the Alliance. At first, I was present, but lately I've left it to myself. Wait in front of the counter until Wyburn's assessment is complete.

As soon as I dropped Mr. Elysia off, I was called from behind.

"Hey, tired. Looks like we're done here."

It's Raymond. He was indulgent in the table seats installed on the guild. If I hadn't seen you today, I would have asked Mr. Elysia for a message, but you didn't have to do that anymore.

"Oh. I thought I'd have to see you, too. Just fine."

"Hmm. I left a letter near the hot tub in the hot spring, did you notice?

"What? Is that what happened?

I turned to everyone and asked. Then Luna answered on behalf of him.

"... No, I didn't see it"

I see. Don't put it next to the hot tub. It's outdoor. Flew by the wind or fell into the hot tub and flowed away...... You can't possibly find him.

"Seriously... I wrote it because of you..."

"What did it say?

"You told me, it's an excuse for an example. I thought about it without going to sleep."

Raymond seems to have taken me quite seriously. That was a bad thing.

"Actually, after that, I was attacked by a big mukade in a hot spring. You'll never find that letter again."

Mukade was so rampant that the hot tub broke, I don't think he's left. I probably burned it with the carcass, even if it was falling somewhere avoiding mukade damage. It's impossible to find.

"Hmm? You mean Hyakuashi?

"I knew you knew. That's right."

"I chased him away, so I thought he wasn't coming anymore... I'm sorry. It's not our fault."

Raymond says sorry. Perhaps Big Mukade retreated after seeing the Raymonds as a threat. The marvel left, so I just came back to my original place. We gave it back. I didn't have the material to sell, I didn't like it.

"Well, that's fine, 'cause he destroyed the hot tub, and we don't need Raymond's excuses anymore."

"Huh? What do you mean?

"I needed an excuse because there was no demon and the hot tub was being repaired. We also met demons and the hot tub was destroyed again. I don't see anything suspicious in the hot springs facility right now."

Because Raymond is back in the state he was before he was restored. I could report it to the church without any problems. Even if the restoration of the spa facility begins, there will be no suspicion.

In the first place, the request was cancelled. There's nothing wrong with me if I missed a report.

"I see...... I don't know, but that's enough."

Probably not telling you what I'm trying to say, but 'no longer need excuses' seems to make you understand. That's it for my errand. Let's take a word of caution at last.

"That's the thing. The spa facility will start to be restored soon, so you better not go."

"Right...... I'm afraid I'll give up. Thanks for letting me know."

Raymond distorts his mouth in remorse. The bathing fee is silly high, so I guess I'll never be able to get in again.

But I just didn't expect to see Raymond. I wonder if you waited all the way......

"By the way, why are you here today?

"I was getting ready to leave. We'll be leaving the king's capital again for a while."

We have business, and it doesn't look like we were here. You didn't even drink. You worked seriously.

"Where are we going next?

"It's north. At this time of year, they're going to catch delicious fish."

Raymond says well. This is more of a hobby than a job...... Even the hot springs I met before were a hobby, and when do you work?

Anyway, we've never been north. I just know that there is a sea and it seems to be Alencian territory up to its seaside. If I say I don't care, I lie.

"Heh... what kind of fish do you get caught?

"Goddamn...... you seem interested. It sounds like a dodgy fish you've never seen in this river. If you care, you go too."

Alencia faces the sea to the east and north. But it's quite far from the king's capital, so there's no sea fish lined up in the king's city. They say all the fish they sell around here are river fish. I haven't eaten it yet, so I hope to eat it sooner or later.

"I'll go if I feel like it."

"Oh, do that. It's time for me to go. Claire's fine."

"Yeah. Take care of your uncle, too"

Waiting awhile to drop Raymond off, Mr. Elysia came back in a hurry.

"Mr. Coe! Where was that!?"

That said, slap the counter 'bang' with both hands.

"Dude, what's going on all of a sudden?

"It was a demon only in the back of the mountain, so..."

Mr. Elysia shrugged with a bumpy face. Wyburn seems to be a pretty rare demon, so you must have been surprised.

"Oh, I've been in the back of the mountain. On request."

When I returned it, Mr. Elysia looked at me in a grumpy way. Angry......?

"Such a dangerous thing... you got paid, didn't you?

"No, I guess this is like a reward. Because I didn't receive the money."

"Oh no... I'm going to protest the church for a bit"

You seem angry at the church, not at me. Ms Elisia returned her heels without even showing a bare gesture to hide her frustration. I rush to stop it.

"Wait, wait. I hear it was a mistake of the church to be here. You've taken quite a few steps, so no problem."

This request has not passed the guild. It's a direct request from the church. So if the Adventurer Alliance pinches his mouth, the story becomes obstinate. Because it came together so well, I don't want it to steam back.

"That said, it's a case of huge liquidated damages."

"Really?

"If it was a request through the guild, it would have happened."

We seem to have lost quite a bit. Well, we don't know there's gonna be a penalty.

At the request stage, I didn't hear that Wyburn and Big Mukade were there. I think it would be pretty dangerous if you didn't tell me that beforehand. You can't ask me not to go through the guild.

"I'll be careful from now on..."

"It might be difficult in Koh's position. This request is like coming from a king, isn't it?

Claire's right, it won't be easy. "I don't take requests from churches," I made it clear, "but I think direct requests come in from outside the church. I don't mind taking it from someone I know, but it's a hassle to be nominated by the state...

"I'll tell the king to pass the guild. Otherwise I won't take it."

"I think that would be better"

More effort, but I don't think it's a good idea to have too many straightforward requests. I have to deal with the problem on my own when it comes to it, so it turns out to be more cumbersome. In order to avoid that, you should leave the negotiation with the guests to the guild.

Except for acquaintances like Marie and Bonanza. I can't leave you down there because I'm taking care of you. I'm going to take even a slightly impossible favor. Let's think about it when the time comes.

Words broke off, and there was a time for weirdness. You perceived the awkward air, Mr. Elysia starts talking with her hands on the velcro bag.

"... So, this is our assessment, but as stipulated, we will be buying for 500 gold coins. What will you do?

Whoa! That's a rare amount of money as prescribed. It's usually too much, so the assessed amount is down for nothing, right?

"Thank you. For that amount, please."

"Ah... horns..."

I leaked my voice as if Claire remembered.

"What's up?

When she asks back, Claire suddenly shows awe.

"Sorry... I remembered a rumor that Wyburn's horn would be a drug ingredient..."

"Heh...?

Does that mean Claire's potion will be improved? Then I'll collect the corners...

Mr. Elysia seemed to know the story, too, and nodded lightly and pinched her mouth.

"Speaking of which, you had that rumor. I've never heard of success..."

I wonder if it's an urban legend. Anyway, they're not reliable information. But this corner is not the material you rarely get. This is your chance.

"If you care, why don't you give it a try?

"But it's gonna be cheaper to buy, right?

"That's right... you'll get a discount of 80 gold coins"

Ms Elysia replied, a little lost. Eighty pieces of gold is not a cheap amount, but if you miss it now, when will it be next...... We're not in trouble for money, so we want to prioritize our chances.

"That would be fine. Luna and the others, okay?

"Absolutely."

"Mm-hmm. I've also heard rumors of being a substitute for demon stones. Let me try a little too."

"I hear I'm going to increase the efficiency of my magic props, right?

Following Luna, Mr. Lily and Leeds replied to keep standing. It seems that countless urban legends exist because they are rarely picked ingredients. I'm getting more and more interested. It sounds like fun to verify rumors.

"Sounds like an interesting material. Let's collect this."

"Okay. I'll give you 420 pieces of the difference."

I received a magic bag from Mr. Elysia containing gold coins and horns. Peeping into the magic bag, I could see a ton of gold coins and two big horns. I don't count gold coins, but I don't bother counting them because I trust you about Mr. Elysia.

"Thank you. Well, we'll be there."

"Yes. Take care"

Elysia dropped me off and left the Adventurer Guild behind. All business in Wang Du is over. The northern ocean is also of concern, but first the verification of the corners. Let's go home to Elminsur and give it a try.
