Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"This request, the additional remuneration, is limited to 10 days, but what is the basis?"

"All the tunnels on the map take eight days to walk.Not for two days. "

Hearing what a cheap mayor said, I immediately shook my head.

"That's out of the question. Sometimes walking while watching out for monsters is not as fast as walking in a known state of safety.In the first place, isn't it the miners who are used to the tunnel who can walk in eight days? "

If we are experiencing dungeons and are physically capable, we may be able to explore as fast as miners walk.

But Sharia and the others would only be able to move more slowly than usual, even without the monsters.

In addition, there is fairly unclear information about monsters.

Given the fact that two adventurer parties have not returned - no, a fairly high probability of being wiped out - it is hard to think of a mere goblin, is there a strong monster, or is there anything else dangerous?

From the beginning, I knew it was high risk and low return, but if I asked you in detail, it seemed like a more troublesome request than I had anticipated.

"... hey, Sharia. Maybe we should decline this request?"

If safety is a priority, it should also be seriously considered.

Mary and Meatier nodded flatly to me, but Sharia and the three of them looked surprised and the mayor looked impatient.

"But if you refuse here, your Alliance's reputation will drop...."

That's right! I suppose you've already begged for it under these conditions!

"That's not true. If information that is significantly disadvantageous to the adventurer is not written on the request form, the request can be declined and there are no penalties for it.Of course, you won't get paid, so the time and effort you've wasted so far may be said to be a penalty. "

Of course, it is necessary to explain the situation to the Alliance, but if the monster written on the request form is different from the actual monster, it is accepted as a sufficient reason.

If this is not acknowledged, the client is better off concealing as much information as possible, which would be detrimental not only to the adventurers at risk, but also to the Alliance, which could lose the adventurers it belongs to.

There is also the idea that adventurers should be responsible for collecting information in advance before requesting a request, but if it becomes normal to hide information with such a request, adventurers will pay a great deal for the advance investigation.

"If that happens, will there be no adventurers who can take care of this request, or will the request fee be significantly higher?The client will be in trouble as a result, right? "

"Yeah, you can't ask for a lie."

"That's it. The client who provided the information honestly loses it, that's not a problem ~"

"Wow, you're not lying!"

Do you understand that the situation is bad? The mayor's face is sweaty and looks pale.

Looking at the town, it does not appear to be a major problem at the moment, but in this town, which relies almost exclusively on mines, prolonged closures are fatal.

As Mayor, it is urgent to solve this problem early, and the damage caused by declining this request is certainly greater than ours.

With that in mind, I will move on to negotiations.

"Even if you didn't write a lie, you didn't obscure your expression or write what you know.The reward is too cheap, this. "

Speaking of this time, even though I can't say for sure, what I wrote "Goblin" is still a clear fact that the adventurer has not returned from two parties.

If this had been written on the requisition form, there would have been no adventurer who could have asked for it with this requisition fee.

"... it says you'll pay the right slaughter reward for the monster you killed, right?"

"Without that sentence, I wouldn't even be here."

This mayor would never be incompetent or a villain... but as an adventurer, it's hard to say he's a good client.

"If you're going to ask for this, I'd like to add three conditions."

First of all, rewards.

Currently, it can take up to 60,000 Rares no matter how many days to clean, but it should be 80,000 Rares regardless of the number of days.

In addition to the basic remuneration, there is an additional remuneration of about 16 days.

Considering that all miners take eight days to walk, it would be a reasonable amount of money.

Next is the decision to clean.

If we walk through all the corridors once, and if monsters come into the corridors we've cleaned, we're not responsible.

Try not to do so as much as possible, but there are several branches of the tunnel, and it is also conceivable that monsters move from other branches to cleared passages while entering.

If we are to do it perfectly, we will have to block the cleared passages in some way, rather than having people stand on each of the bypass roads, which naturally is totally lacking.

If you want that much, you should pay more and gather more people.

The third is about monsters.

If you encounter a goblin in the tunnel, it is certain, but if it is a monster stronger than that, even if you confirm it and retreat, it will be considered a successful request.

Not at all, but with Goblin level rewards, augers can't be dealt with, and if they pass, there will be no client who will try to provide accurate information, as I said earlier.

"How much ore does the mine dig out in a day?With that in mind, I think it would be better if we could get back to it early. "

The sooner we finish, the better our daily earnings will be, and the sooner we reopen the mine, the better for the client.

In Japan, if you can't work for your employer's convenience, you'll be paid even if you don't work, but in a mine like this, the daily salary of the miner you hire will be more than this one.

However, if it's Japan.In this world, it may not be a simple loss because of the black treatment of 'no pay without work', but the lost profit from not being able to ship the ore should never be small.

"Sure, I want to avoid any further mountain closures...Okay, let's accept the offer. "

"If it is a monster that can be crushed, I will crush it as much as I can, but in that case, I will get the appropriate crusade reward."

"I know. I'm not going to pay for it.That way, there will be no more adventurers to ask for a favor. "

"That's a wise decision. Is Sharia and the others okay with this?"

"What? Ah, ah, yeah. Of course, the rewards have increased...."

"I'm worried that we're the only ones, but I'm not worried because we have Nao's."

"Nao-san, thank you for being here ~"

The mayor breathed heavily at Sharia, who seemed a little confused but happy.

"Ha, I'll pay you well, please.If you fail any more... There's a little bit of a budget for the missing adventurers. "

"Hmm? Did you give the adventurer a promotional money?"

"As an adventurer, I'm not a resident of this village.Of course, I live here with my family. "

Originally, even if an adventurer fails to solicit it, it is self-responsibility.

Originally, the client is not responsible.

However, the mayor sent the unreturned request for the town.

He couldn't ignore the family and acquaintances left behind and paid a small sum of money.

"I wonder why the monster entered the tunnel..."

"It's just sadness....."

Is there a lack of security in the auditorium or any other cause?

It's not our job to look into it, but you might be able to take care of it.

Looks like you're not a bad guy around here, huh?

"But I'm lucky to be unhappy.Usually, Rank Six adventurers don't move at this rate. "

The mayor instantly solidified the words that Meatier said, and opened his eyes as if he could not believe what they meant.

"Rank Six!? You guys?"

"Ah, do you see the guild card?"

In our case, it is an Alliance card that is rarely used outside of town, but it has a high level of credibility.

When he gave it to the mayor, who pulled it out, he traced the rank symbol engraved there with his finger and trembled around his mouth.

"It's not real... but in this case... let's make a contract!"

A fairly inexpensive request fee from the rank.

The mayor quickly drew up a new contract to see if this opportunity would be missed.

And after Sharia signed it, I left it behind under the mayor with a nice expression, like a load on my shoulders.

--Well, I'm the only Rank Six.

I didn't lie to you.
