After that, we continued to make requests.

We are already celebrities in the guild, choosing very expensive requests and achieving them perfectly.

Thinking about Rum and the others, it's not that obvious... but for now, the rumors are focused on me as a first-class adventurer, so I'll just leave them alone.

Money has been saved up well so far.

However.....

"Hmm...."

Looking at the Guild's bulletin board, the faces of his allies are steep.

The reason is simple. We don't have any more complicated requests.

There shouldn't be a lot of requests with high rewards.

All that remained in front of us from delicious requests for allowances and gradual orders was subtle requests such as cheap rewards and distant ones.

Except for one.

"... that's all I know."

Mabel points to an old parchment that is secretly attached to the upper left corner of the bulletin board.

It was a request to destroy the Hydra living in the underworld mountains, which was also seen on Rakana's bulletin board.

……

Nobody talked... but they all thought the same thing about Mabel.

If you can fulfill this request, you will receive the target amount at once.

The place is far away, and it may take ten days to get back, but I can manage to meet the deadline.

No matter how many small requests you receive, it seems like you can only earn a dime anymore.There's nothing else...

Rurum reaches out and peels the parchment of the client.

Whether it had been pasted for a long time or not, the letter was faded as a whole.

"... Hydra can't be defeated by me and Nozzlo alone."

Rurum murmured.

"Until now, we have chosen requests that are beyond our control.You have nothing to do with our situation.There is no reason for humans to help the Devil's slaves.That's why I've only received requests from you so far that you won't have to pull your hands... but I can't make it anymore.I can't help my people. "

Rurum turns to us.

"Please, help me.I need you to help my people. Please. "

That's how Rurum lowers his head.

The silence lasted only for a moment.

"What are you talking about?"

Amu laughs and says.

"I won't tell you to stop on your way here.I'll stay with you till the end. "

"Yes, that's right! We're almost there, so let's all do our best."

"I'm sure we can defeat Hydra."

Effa and Mabel also continued.

"You guys...."

"... thank you. I've never been saved so much by a human being."

Rurum and Nozzlo's murmuring certainly seemed to have emotions in it.

I laugh a lot. [M]

"Then... let's arrange a carriage.It's another branch, so we have to hurry to keep moving. "

The adventure of this party, decided by Nayuki, is finally overwhelming.

****

That's why we just asked for a carriage, and each of us was to prepare for our departure.

I can't waste my time.We leave Keltz tomorrow morning.

Nevertheless, we've only been on adventures many times, and everyone was already used to preparing for the trip.

I bought what I needed, packed all my stuff, and I lay down on my bed in the room of a sunset inn. [M]

Hmm.

"Well, it seems to challenge a tough monster."

Yuki slipped her head out of her hair and said.

"Is Seika-san still going to take care of everything?"

"No."

I answer.

"As always, I will try not to do anything.This case is only about Rurum and Nozzo.They'll be uncomfortable if you don't get too much help.And so are the amulets. "

"Hah... but are you okay?I'm worried Yuki won't be able to rely on them. "

"What, it's a sub dragon. I'll cover you, and if you need me, I'll help you. Well, but..."

I say in a light tone. [M]

"They'll be fine."

……

What's wrong?

"No... I thought it was a little unusual to say that."

Yuki said in surprise.

"Seika-san, I didn't really feel like I could be trusted by the strength of others..."

Really?

"Yes... as far as Yuki knows... except for my strong daughter."

……

Yuki must be talking about the apprentice who killed me.

I picked it up because it resembled my sister, who died when she was young, and finally got stronger until she came to me.

I didn't think you'd bring her up.

But... I twist my neck.

"Yeah... did you? Everyone recognized me as a grown-up apprentice.Regardless of the curse, there were many children who were no longer enemies of swordsmanship or scholarship. "

"Ah, if that's what they say."

"Even after I was reincarnated.I think they are talented, and I have met many other people who I would never take lightly.Didn't I tell you that sometimes? "

"Ah, it's true... no, it's not like that, hmm..."

Yuki came down from my head and roared hard. [M]

"Anyway, I think Yuki prefers such a tendency!That's what I wanted to say! "

"Hah... I see."

I smile bitterly. [M] I came to the conclusion that I was not sure.

"Well, I don't care about monsters.You just have to take it down.I wish everything was that simple. "

"Hmm? So... do you have any concerns?"

Yuki asked after my words. [M]

"No way... I don't suppose the price of a slave will be enough?"

"No, it's the other way around."

"Reverse?"

"It's too cheap."

I'll explain.

"The amount Elman gave me is the amount that each person can spend the rest of their life playing with.Certainly much more expensive and incredibly expensive than a regular slave... but it's also an amount that the wealthy in the Imperial Capital could easily afford. "

The market for slaves is sometimes called the blue ceiling.

There's no such thing as a demon slave.It was not surprising if there was such a value for one person instead of all of them.

"Of course, shipping to the Imperial Capital is expensive.You'll also need money to pay for slaves' meals and rent a warehouse.However, even if you subtract it... I think it would be much better to auction it as originally planned than to sell it to me at a discouraging price here. "

"Ah, is that so?However, the merchant (Akihito)... seemed to want to sell to Seika-san. "

"Ah... that bothers me."

And it started on the way.

When I first said I would buy all the slaves, I didn't say anything to hide my attitude like this.

However, when I came to the stage of making an estimate, I turned around, and for some reason I came out badly and began to retain me.From that amount to telling me I'm going to cut the price even further.

I am a merchant, so I cannot ignore the profit and loss.I'm not surprised you realized the huge costs ahead.

I wonder if there is anything else.

Circumstances or perplexities...

"... I think Yuki has no choice but to think about it."

Yuki says, "Porky."

"Even if the merchant is going to make a difference… I wonder if Yuki has any other way to prepare his money for the time being.I can't believe I'm threatening you with sincerity right now. "

"Nh... I see. You're right."

I have a slight concern.

But put this concern aside, if you don't take the money first, we won't be able to talk.

They're also merchants. Exactly. You won't take it away with your best efforts.

Unexpectedly sighs.

When you're dealing with a man of wisdom, you still think a lot.Especially if you're going to be there in the dirt.

It would be easier if the world were as simple as when dealing with demons and monsters.
