Five million phils of remuneration were distributed as follows:
First of all, the party assets are two million phil. This is funding to expand future activities. It also has insurance in case of any trouble.
Secondly, the party operating costs are two million phil. This is the money needed to refill items, repair equipment, and make new changes.
Lloyd and Valter's gear is out of use in a series of fights against the junior vampire Lesser Vampire, so they need to be repaired. My silver - the bullet from the demon gun (Silver Flame) needs to be refilled, too.
Leaving it to the familiar martial arts store that makes it cheaper would cost two million fils.
And that's the last personal distribution I've been waiting for.
"That's all..."
Valter drops his shoulder, as if he was lying about shaving until just now.
All that remained on each hand were two hundred and fifty thousand phils. About a month's worth of living.
It's by no means a small reward, and definitely more than usual, but as a person who was still floating at five million, I can't help but be dissatisfied with the amount left at hand.
Tania also looks cold on two gold coins on the palm of her hand and five large silver coins.
So you should have negotiated a price increase for the reward, not to say. I just said it clears my mind a little bit and instead the three of us just feel bad.
"Well, don't be depressed."
I say with laughter like Lloyd was in trouble.
"Personal distributions are small, but party assets are steadily increasing. Besides, if I get a big favor next time, I'll make the same money again."
Indeed, Lloyd is right. But there are some things that are wrong.
"Lloyd, a delicious request like this one is rare. That's not true. More importantly, this is not a request we received from the state, but a request we received from another clan to turn it around. If you don't even have trouble, your delicious request will be fulfilled at your place"
"Right... right..."
In the first place, requests for the purification of the abyss Abyss are managed by the state in bulk, and originally only requests are made to the clan. In other words, only the Seeker, who belongs to the Clan, can relate to the Abyss.
But even if you're not in the clan, there's a way to get a request from Abyss.
Because clans often outsource projects that they can't handle, although they may have taken on from the state. This has to do with the assessment system where the higher the number of annual orders for a request, the higher the rating of the clan.
That's how we got the junior vampire Lesser Vampire crusade request out of the hands of the clan.
At any rate, the work of Abyss relationship is profitable. More importantly, it leads to our track record as a Seeker.
So Seeker, the Seeker, who refused to belong to someone else's clan like us, makes money by going around each clan looking for outsourcing requests that look good and taking them on.
That's how we save money, and eventually we plan to create our own clan.
Besides, the clan doesn't turn me around for free either. I will be able to impose an intermediary fee that is not cheap. Ownership of the crusading demon (Beast) is also on the clan's side, so it will only be exploited if it is followed without negotiation.
So the negotiations will be important, but it is also true that too many claims to our rights will prevent us from being smoked and getting a good job turned around.
I mean, if you're thinking about the growth of the party, this is the right time.
"Lloyd, how much is the party asset now?
"Huh?............... uh, that's a combined ten, two, eight million fil"
It is Lloyd, the leader, who manages the party assets. Twenty-two million and eight million, and I remember that amount, too.
"Then we'll use that $12.8 million to set up a clan, too."
"What!?
Lloyd surprises me. The other two raised their voices as well.
"... Noel, I know you do, but in order to set up the clan, you have to pay the state 20 million fils, right?
This 20 million dollar money is not what the country is trying to squeeze out of the Seeker. Compulsory insurance for failure of the clan to accomplish the request within the specified period.
The abyss Abyss spreads over time. For this reason, it is necessary to purify it as soon as possible, and if it fails, the danger will only increase for that matter.
We have to pay a minimum of 20 million in advance, because the failure side will compensate for the new rewards for requesting the next clan due to this increased difficulty.
"I understand. But we've gotten stronger this past year, too. The visibility is there too. And yet it won't taste good to stay subcontracted forever."
"No, I know how you feel..."
"So the remaining 720,000 Phil, I think I'm coming out"
"What!?
The three of them are surprised again. Keep an eye out, it's a bigger reaction than just now. I think it's only natural that I should personally give you $7.2 million.
Actually, it's not an easy amount to give. I inherit from my grandfather, but that's because there's only a few left.
After that incident, the money that the surviving servants gave me so that I could get back on my feet, and the money that it took for me to become Explorer Seeker, that sums up to a considerable amount.
Especially since I followed my grandfather's teachings and was considerably restrained in gear. Good equipment is meant to be directly linked to survival.
Not only is the Demon Gun (Silver Flame) an excellent luxury, but also a black long coat with protective gear. Tailored with black armored dragon (black dragon) cardiomyocardial fibers, this coat belongs to depth eight and has high endurance and various resistances.
A variety of other luxury items, such as a skill book (skillbook), were purchased in order to start Explorer's Seeker.
"Of course, I'll have it back when the clan is on track. I don't want to spend it, and I really want to moderate it when I think about the future. But it should be more profitable to just set up a clan than to keep acting as a subcontractor."
Besides, if you sell your thanks to the three of us here, you'll be able to smoothly accept my story of becoming a leader. I feel cowardly, but this is also for my ambitions.
"What are we going to do with the base? In order for the Clan to be recognized, we also need to have a building based in the Imperial City. The land price in Teito is high. You can borrow it, but your monthly rent won't be stupid."
"Don't worry, you can borrow it cheaply"
"Is that true? No, but..."
You saw the troubled Lloyd, Tania pinching her mouth from the side.
"Noel, I know you mean it, but don't be in a hurry. I don't think we can run the clan properly, even if we can't set it up right now"
"Why?"
"Because... we're still newbies? Function (Job) and C-rank, but you're young. I'm seventeen, Lloyd and Valter are eighteen, and you're sixteen. Even if we're all adults, we're still children in the world. No matter how strong you are, you can't do it right."
"Why?"
"No, so..."
I control Tania with my hands.
What Tania is saying is not wrong. But it's not even right. It's a mediocre and common opinion. Opinions that are neither poisonous nor medicinal are of any use.
"Then when should I? How many years from now you're gonna make sure you think you can run it right? Using what as collateral for success? Unless you set up a clan, you're not gonna turn into a novice in operations after all this time, are you?
"It's..."
"At least, I've been studying clans all my life, instead of Explorer Seeker. I have all the knowledge I need. But I don't think that's the only way to succeed. What we need is a solid experience, actually gained by doing the operation. That's not what you get for a lifetime when you're on your feet."
"Ugh, ugh..."
Tania tried to argue but the words didn't seem to come out. Ask Lloyd for help with his gaze. In a friendly couple things.
"... Noel's idea also makes sense. Experience can't be gained without actually trying to start. But the most lucrative abyss Abyss relationship job is managed by the state. If the state insults us because we're young, we won't get a job if we set up a clan, will we?
"That's the other way around, Lloyd. You get a good job turned because you're young."
"What do you mean?
"We're young, and we look good. That's what matters."
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
Lloyd tilts his neck. The same goes for the other two. He didn't seem to know anything. I'll observe the three of them again.
Lloyd the leader and swordsman.
A good man featuring burning red hair. Its sweet mask often stands out in Seeker, a searcher with many roughnecks. A thin but well-forged body also has an upper back and every move is full of grandeur and elegance.
For this reason, Seeker is a popular seeker from women. However, he was in eighth place as a rookie in the rankings of the man he wanted to be held within the Imperial Capital.
Tania the therapist Healer.
A gentle-faced beauty with long well cared for blonde hair shining. Soft waist and good love. The function of therapist Healer (Job) also goes hand in hand, and the man will feel divine like the Virgin Mary just because she smiles quietly.
And my breasts are huge. It's big enough to tell from above a loose robe, so most guys get nailed there first. She is also a popular Seeker from the opposite sex.
Warrior Valter.
Tall and muscularly sturdy. I'm not really the type to worry about who I am, and that short black hair is also a clutter-cut one myself, but my face is a deeply carved person, and I have a wild charm.
However, in the case of Valter, it is more popular from the same sex than from the opposite sex. Some perverts seem to be targeting their asses for wanting to hit each other with sweat.
And I'm talking to Noel, the magician.
I inherited the look of my mother, who had a reputation as a beauty, just like that, and I look better too. Thank you for giving birth to a handsome woman, Mother.
"The country encourages Seekers"
Keep talking, the three of you will listen.
"I mean, I want a lot of people to be Seekers. Now, if we're young people dreaming of Seekers, what type of Seeker do we have to admire? Strong is natural. And then the behavior? Well, there will be that, too. But more important than that is the glamour that you can see."
"I see... you mean..."
Lloyd seems to have noticed what I'm trying to say. He grins bitterly as he strokes his jaw.
"Yes, glamour is youth and good looks. My God, the famous Seeker is an idol. If you're not only strong, but also young and good looking, the country will be easy to guess as an advertising tower."
"I mean, because you're young and you look good, you're going to cheer me up?
The drunkenness is starting to wake me up. I snort at Valter's question.
My grandfather, who is still famous as an immortal demon (Overdeath), was also a strong but never ugly man. The taste of the outfit was always good, and laughing makes me look nostalgic. Talking about my grandfather, my grandmother seemed to like that smile.
Well, that doesn't matter.
"Of course, strength is important in order to be treated. Successful clans, however, are often blessed with impressive members."
"I will not deny that there is such a side to Explorer Seeker. I also wanted to be a healer because I admired a therapist. But... I can't say it well... but I don't like the way you sell yourself that way..."
Tania understands, but she's not convinced.
"Are the other two in the same opinion?
"I agree."
It was Valter who agreed. I'm laughing invincibly with my arms together.
"I was sick and tired of subcontracting, too. Let's just create a clan. If you put more money in it than ever, you can drink as much as you like, and even good women can hold it all you want. Well, don't run out of good things."
"Hey, Valter! They don't tear me up when I'm serious!
Tania reverses Willow Eyebrow, but Valter is grand without any clowning.
"I'm serious, Tania. Status, honor, gold, what's wrong with wanting it. You know, even if there's a difference in degree, it's similar."
"Oh, that's..."
"Or something? Are you gonna be my girl? Then..."
"Valtar!"
Lloyd slaps the table in angry shape. I was dictated to my own woman in front of me. No matter how righteous and moderate a man is, he is angry and natural.
"It's a joke. A joke. Don't be angry, leader."
Lloyd sighs at Valter, who is back in mild shape.
Again, no in-party romance. This way, it's only the source of trouble. Tania is also totally grown up because of the awkwardness.
Nevertheless, for Valter, is Tania a woman who wants more than status, honor or gold? For your sake, you're a pure romantic.
"But you're serious about the clan, right?
Neither Lloyd nor Tania disagree with Valter's words.
"Now you're two on one. Lloyd, let me hear your opinion as a leader."
"That's hard...... Do you really want to set up a clan right away?
"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to break all this. If you really want to postpone it to an undetermined point, give me my money back from my assets. I'll let you get out of the party."
If I tell you clearly, not only Lloyd, but everyone will have a slight face.
"... Noel, isn't anything abusive?
"I don't deny it's abusive. But as pointless as footsteps, you should take a different path to curse me. I thought you said that at the time of the party. I have dreams. I dream of becoming a Seeker beyond the great Undying Devil."
"Dream, or..."
Lloyd thinks for a while and eventually opens his mouth slowly.
"Okay. Establish a clan."
"Lloyd, seriously!?
Tania eats and hangs on to Lloyd's decision. Sounds like such a negative idea.
"All of you, you have to set up a clan."
"So, but..."
To the devouring Tania, Lloyd smiled gently.
That's odd...... There's nothing concrete to prove, but it's a really catchy exchange.
"Noel."
"Yeah?"
"My decision as a leader is as I said. You're not complaining now, are you?
"Oh, I'm glad you understand. So, when are we gonna talk about specifics?
"... how about the day after tomorrow? We'll discuss it after the booze and fatigue are well out."
"Okay, it's noon the day after tomorrow. I'll visit your boarding house."
Thus, the consolation meeting, which is a little longer than usual, is dissolved rarely.
And this was the last consolation meeting outside of the sky (Blue Beyond).
