My Skills Are Too Strong to Be a Heroine

First city ② How to make good money

"Excellent work in defeating villains who threaten the safety of the city. I would like to thank the Vigilante HQ for sending me this bounty."

"Amamiya-san!

"Thank you very much....."

With my eyes shining high, I receive with my face a sack of offered coins.

... this isn't supposed to be weird...

After that, Takao, who came back, was surprised to see the pile of defects.

And there were no turns in the city, and it was the vigilante in the city that played the role of a police officer, so I came to the vigilante headquarters, which was a little bent off the main street, while dragging the defect.

Sitting at a desk in a reception counter, my pretty uniformed sister lowered her head respectfully and shook my hand.

"Recently, the Royal Army has also concentrated on the northern part of the country, which is at the forefront of the fight against the demons, and the security of this southernmost city has been entrusted exclusively to our vigilantes... the cooperation of a tenacious traveler like you would really be helpful. Thank you, tough traveler."

While returning a haha and a dry laugh to the oneesan who thanked me twice for putting unwanted adjectives, she turned happily back to Takaya-kun.

"No, Takao, they were weak! It's like a match stick! I'm not strong!

"Those villains will have the vigilante men and the wounded twisting their hands..."

"Oneesan, will you shut up for a second!?

Takaya-kun leaned a little while protesting.

"I'm sorry, I told you to protect me, but while I'm alone, I'm in danger...."

"... ah, no!? You got yourself caught up in this! It wasn't Takao's fault, I wasn't scared at all!

I wasn't scared at all.

"That's a tough journey."

"Ah, that's good, that's good."

Takao looked down at the sack of hemp and said, "By the way," as he drowned on his desk.

"Can I get a reward for helping out with a city threat like this?

"Yes, the vigilante is very welcome because it is understaffed. The Knights of King's Landing will be sending personnel soon, but until then it will be a difficult situation.... It's just a dangerous job, including the Beast Crusade. Are you sure?

Takao and I looked at each other and said, "I'm sure you're good at that."

"For the time being, stay in the city and collect funds and information to head north. I think it would be good if I could use my skills while crushing the Beast. And then...."

As soon as I left the building of the vigilante headquarters, Takao, who had explained the future outlook in a neat way, but when my gorgeous belly sounds blocked it, he blinked his eyes and smiled like a prank, "Then, why don't you have dinner for now?"

I chew my lips while suppressing my uncontrolled runaway organ. Somehow, it seems that using skills makes me hungry. Dear God, in addition to your strength, even the eater attributes... shouldn't be like this...!

"I'm not sorry...."

"Ahahah. Fortunately, thanks to Amamiya-san, I was able to secure my meal expenses."

Takao opened the mouth of the sack and checked the contents. It was a little bigger than a 500-yen coin, and there were 10 pieces of used and dull silver coins.

"Ah, quite a lot. How much is this? Is it okay if I eat a lot?

"I asked you a lot earlier and looked into it. I wonder if the currency unit in this world is G (Gold) and the feeling is that 1G is worth about 10 yen.

There are three types of currency: 1G copper, 10G silver, and 100G gold. There are other 1000G notes and 10000G notes. "

It looks like a math problem. I don't like the math system, I lose consciousness. I calculate by turning my head fully, which is not more than usual due to hunger.

"Because it's 10 silver coins, 100 G... it's worth ten times... let me, 1,000 yen!?

"Well done."

Gahn, Takaya-kun put his arms together as if he was in a bit of trouble before bluishing out.

It's less than I thought... but killing bad guys in Japan is at best about an award. I'm just thankful for the thank you. I shook my head with my belly as I thought it might be too much for the hourly rate.

"... endure it... it's almost evening. Are you going to pay for the inn? It's okay, I'm totally fine."

"Even if you say it with such a mutant sound....."

Fufu, I tried to dress up and say it, but since there was a roar from my stomach that I had never heard before, it was unconvincing. Ah....

"Besides, 1000 yen is not enough for overnight accommodation. As far as I can tell, the cheapest price in the city is 300 grams a room."

"Is that so... a wild boarding house???

"No, that's exactly what I want to do... at least for Amamiya-san. I'm going to ask if you have a good job."

Okay, I'd rather sleep under the roof instead of Takao! How dare I sleep like an insect in the dirt!!

However, when it comes to the accommodation fee for two people, the shortfall is 500G. Fifteen defect exterminators. I pulled Takaya-kun's arm back to vigilante headquarters and hurried to stop him.

"Well, wait! I don't need a good night's sleep anywhere in three seconds. It's getting dark soon, so find a simple job just for Takao's room! Right?"

Looking down on me proposing a nice idea, for a moment Takao answered immediately.

"I don't like it."

"Ha......!

Oh, you fool...! Upset by the gentleman's first rejection from Takao, I shook my fist in anger.

"Don't be selfish, please rest well!

"That's where I am, right? It's Amamiya-san who's tired of fighting defects, so please sleep tightly and slowly."

"Uhh... ah, I love wild boarding!

"No, I like it better."

"I'm Nojuku!

"I'm Nojuku."

Hmm, it's getting incredibly hot in some weird direction... but if you leave here, it's the name of the brave!!

Without taking a step forward from each other, they were finally engaged in a muddy argument that talked about wild boarding love, and a lovely voice cut off the tongue of hell.

"Uhh......"

Takaya-kun and I, who were in a critical state of combining and not stopping using their skills, stopped moving perfectly and looked back at the origin of their voice.

"Ah, just now."

"Thank you for your help. Um, it was kind of fun, so it was hard to talk to...."

The giggle and the smile pressed against her mouth were so pathetic that the small flowers swayed fluffily in the wind.

Looks like she was watching an ugly fight right behind us, with her soft chestnut hair and a light green dress. And the girl who had just been rescued in the alley, with an impressive red pochette, lowered her head and said.

"I said I didn't want to thank you, but I couldn't give up... um, I heard your story. You're in trouble, right?

"Yeah... ah, but that's not good money! It's important, right?

A note filled with pochettes you just saw in the alley.

I was surrounded by a few men with weapons, and I was trying to get them back, but I can't use them.

"Yes, this money is for (...) the (...) second floor (...) (...) f (...) o (...) m (...) fee (...) so I can't give you 1G. But I will arrange accommodation instead."

Almost simultaneously tilting her neck at the same angle, she smiled and raised her index finger with a red pochette concealing her mouth.

"My house is an inn.

My name is Elysica. Welcome to this city, kind traveler. "

The moment I gently opened my mouth and face-to-face with Takaya-kun, my stomach rang goooo at the right time.

I thought it would be foolish to be happy because I found out that I could eat 1,000 yen, and Takao thought the same thing, and was laughed at with his stomach.
