Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

On the man's waist was a curved sword with a blue and black sheath.She has a dull metallic breastplate, crotch, and shin.All of them are fairly well-equipped, and I can see a number of dents and scratches that are being used.A former adventurer or a mercenary.

Height is quite large around 180 cm.My muscles are in just the right condition to fight.He is probably over forty years old.

I have a wrinkled voice, but it's not so hard to hear, and it's probably more correct to say that it's a dossier voice.

"Oh, an adventurer."

I take out the adventurer's registration card and show it to the man.

"... an adventurer of S rank?"

Yeah.

Are you a slave?

I asked, turning my right eye to Nil.

"... oh."

………………………

The man alternates between me and Nil for two or three times and returns the registration card to me.

“What are you doing here?”

“I've been looking for requests.”

It's a problem unique to S-rank adventurers.

“I don't know if you'll understand.”

There were times when there was no S rank adventurer's job.Although this is common for adventurers, it is not common sense in the world.

It's information you wouldn't know if you were an adventurer, and some adventurers with lower ranks don't.

"I was originally an adventurer, too."I'm retired because of this wound.I'm now a gatekeeper in this village where I was born and raised. "

The man shows his left eye with his finger.I thought he was a man with a penetrating spirit, but it seemed like he was an easy opponent to talk to.All of a sudden, I was worried that you'd tell me to go home!

"That was... a disaster."

"That's what adventurers are all about, isn't it?"I was old enough for that, too.I'm glad this is the case now.I just want to thank you for remaining alive. "

A man laughs with a fist at a gun and a metal breastplate.Maybe it was an adventurer and a fellowship.

I have to be careful, too.

"S-rank adventurer is saying something."That's the realm of heroes. Right now, right?

“Beginning is important to everyone, isn't it?”

"... Nuhaha! S-Rank adventurers have different things to say!I like it! I'm Kevin!Kevin - Nagana! ”

The man holds out his right hand and asks for a handshake.

"I'm Kaido. I'm just Kaido."

With that said, I put out my right hand and shook it vigorously.It seemed like he was quite a likable opponent.However, I didn't say anything to Nil, and it was completely through.

I'm sorry to hear that, but Kevin didn't mean anything by it.I know that, so I'm not angry, but I still feel sorry for you.

Even if you come to such a tiny village, there is no request or request fee that you can send to S-rank adventurers.

“That's okay. I'm just walking around looking for a place to settle down.Rather than being an S-ranked adventurer, I am now an adventurer on a journey.I'm willing to undertake any request at a fair price. ”

Is it okay for an S-ranked adventurer to sell himself cheaply?

If you're an S-rank adventurer, you have to be very careful about your appearance.There is an SS rank above the ranks, but there are few parties that can fight monsters like Rock.In other words, the S ranks are actually like the highest ranks.If such an S-rank adventurer were to sell at a low price, it would be said that the value of the adventurer as a whole would be reduced.

"That's true, but if you're having trouble eating, it doesn't matter what rank you have."It's not bad, but it's not a situation where you can choose a job. ”

"Nuhaha!" You're absolutely right!Then you're welcome! I have some work for adventurers!

First of all, you don't have to tell me to show my face to the village chief...The village chief's house is a straight house. ”

"No, thanks."

"There's a grandfather sitting there, so you'll know right away."

Yeah.

Me and Nil go into the village and go to the mayor's house, as he was told.

I was told that my grandfather was sitting there, but I thought the explanation was confusing.However, as Kevin said, in front of the house that hit, there is a human grandfather sitting with a stick.He is quite old, and he is the most suitable grandfather for the expression "yogurt".

Nil and I talked to Grandpa, and after receiving permission to engage the village as an adventurer for a while, we left the scene. But......

"I almost didn't know what you were talking about..."

"Yes, yes..."

My grandfather had almost no teeth, and I could only hear words because he was just saying Ham.Communication was barely possible, but the difficulty was high for newcomers.

"Nuhaha! How about that?"You didn't understand what I was saying, did you?! "

Kevin approaches with a smile.

"I grew up in this village, but I don't know!"Nuhaha! "

"You let me go because you knew... it was a terrible difficulty."

"It's like a specialty of this village, so you have to experience it once!"It's like a passing ritual! "

Well then, is it okay if we are accepted by the village?

Well, that's it!

More than that, is it okay for the village guards to walk around like this?

"Ah. I am the guard of this village, but only the low-ranked monsters that came out of the forest attack this tiny village."I used to be an A-rank adventurer, too.No matter how much one eye is crushed by a monster that comes out of the woods, it won't lose.

We also had shields to protect the village.I didn't have to wait for monsters that rarely appeared.I mean, it's the people working in the field who meet the monsters before I see them in that place. "

Then what's the point of standing in that place...?

"...... what does it look like?"

"Do you want to ask me? Is that what it looks like?"

"If you don't show yourself working, you might be told that you're a pay thief."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

"Guarding is only useful in case of an emergency."Until then, I don't feel thankful. ”

Kevin says with a laugh.Rather than reacting in a disgusting way, they seem to be the type that laughs out loud.He's a pleasant fellow.

"So, you said you had a few requests, but what do you want?"

"Basically, it was a monster crusade."I can also send out some picking quests... "

That's how many monsters we have to bring to the crusade.

"Thanks. Ask a woman named Hanasa for more details." It's that house. "

Kevin showed one of the buildings in the village, impressing by the recent construction of a new house.

"Hanasa is the one who took care of the chores in this village."If you ask Hanatha, she'll tell you all the things you need. ”

"I see, that would be helpful."

If multiple people ask for each one, it will be troublesome, and it will be easy to cause problems. Thank you for helping me to eliminate such friction.Above all, such people have a lot of knowledge about the surrounding situation, and there is a high possibility that various kinds of information will be available.Most of the things that can be examined in this village will be known by the woman named Hanasa.

Well then, I'll go there soon.

"Oh, tell me if you need a hand."I'll lend you as much as I can. ”

"Yeah. Okay."

Kevin raised his hand and walked somewhere.

It's silver...

Looking at Kevin's back, we head for Hanatha's house.

Con...

Yes!

Knocking on the wooden door, a young woman's voice is heard from inside.I was quite surprised because I thought there would be a woman of the same age.I think it is unusual for a young woman to arrive to help gather the opinions of the village.Nevertheless, like the Heine and the Elves, if the younger flesh has a long time, we will not know.

However, it was the Beastman woman who came out.

Um... Which one is it?

Straight brown hair and brown eyes all the way to the shoulders.There are brown wings coming out from around the ears, and the tail wings are also visible.Looks like the Sparrow Beastman Clan.

She looks like a 20-year-old woman and is about 160 years tall.She looks like an active type of woman, listening to her patchy eyes and bright voice.

"Kevin introduced me to you."I'm Kaido, an adventurer who's been helping me work in this village for a while. "

Adventurer?

Show the registration certificate.

"Um... S-Rank?!"

Hanatha's face sounds like an effect sound in her head.

“For the time being, I'm looking for a job, but if I tell Kevin about it, he says I can talk here.”

"That salary thief... you don't have much to do, so bring him yourself..."

I see. The word "pay thief" comes from this Hanatha...

Kevin's busy with Kevin, isn't he?

I'm the same adventurer, and I'm going to take Kevin's shoulder...

"I'm not busy. I'm just standing there, so I'm not much different from the village chief."

Kevin too, but I'm sure you've heard a lot about him, Village Chief...

"Leave that uncle alone and get up."I can't even talk calmly in this place. "

I was quite surprised by the women who said things clearly, but I know some of those types of women, and I don't dislike women with a sloppy personality.

In spite of your words, Nil and I will let you go home.

Hanasa immediately brewed me some tea, and we had a discussion while drinking it.

But by the way, Hanasa only prepared two kinds of tea for me and Hanasa.

I have no intention of blaming you for this, but the slavery system still doesn't suit my skin, whether it's really lonely or sad.

Nil says she doesn't care, and I don't think she does.But you can't be happy to be there and treated like you're not.Most people don't like to be treated like that unless they have that special kind of personality.

Maybe if Nil had stayed next to me when I was jerking off, I wouldn't have cared the same way, but I think it still felt dark.

However, if you dare to say it here, you may be recognized as a strange person who does not treat slaves as slaves, and you may not be able to get the information you can get.I don't like to stand out now, either in a good way or in a bad way.

Besides, I can't say that people in this village, including Kevin and Hanatha, don't have a connection to Handyman.If you had a connection, you could end up in a very dangerous situation.

Well then, let's get started.

In the words of Hanatha, return your thoughts to us and begin your conversation.

"Does Kevin's introduction mean that there is no need to consider the S-ranked adventurer in terms of rewards and requests...?"

"Yeah, that's all right."

I just said that it was Kevin's introduction, and it seems that he trusts Kevin even though he says that he can think of everything.

"Honestly, it's been a little noisy in the woods lately."There have been several cases of monster damage. "

Is the forest noisy?

"Yes. Apparently, there was a big explosion in the rich forest to the south, and the animals and monsters frightened and ran away."Because of this, the monsters became temporarily dense around here, and individuals who didn't follow the food began to come out of the forest. ”

"Is that so..."

Definitely one of the locks.

"I said explosion, but according to the merchant from the south, the sky fell."What are some people saying?You mustn't touch God!They say there are people who are scared. ”

"That's scary."

"I don't know what happened, but it's a good nuisance for me.The villagers are lamenting that they can't take care of the fields. ”

But Kevin is here, isn't he?

"Yes. Kevin is the one who defeats monsters like you who come to the village."That said, most of them were weak monsters, and even if they weren't Kevin, they could drive them back.

But when the higher ranked monsters arrived, Kevin was the only one who could fight.That's why Kevin can't leave this village. ”

I see. That means we can clean up the monsters in the woods, right?

"That's right. I'm not telling you to knock it all out, just thin it out."

The monsters that escaped the threat of Rock are temporarily dense on our side, so I want you to thin them out and restore the balance between food and monsters...

I didn't get the impression that there were many monsters in the horse-drawn carriage, but it was possible that monsters were accumulating in the forest.Maybe the Heines were hunting monsters by now.

"It's okay. It's not that there are so many monsters, it's just that the rate of appearance of monsters is 10-20% higher than usual, so the number of monsters in the forest can't even be processed."

There is a lot of distance from the Toyotomi Forest, and it doesn't seem that the impact of the locks is greatly exaggerated.

The reason lies with the Handymen, but indirectly, we're involved, and we want to gather information.Speaking of Hanatha's request, at least the villagers will talk cooperatively.At that time, you will be able to hear a lot of stories, and there is no choice but not to accept them.

It's just a funny story to nod right here.We're supposed to be here looking for a job.Which means we don't have any money.In that case, the most important thing is...

What's the reward?

How about this?

That said, Hanatha stands up with three fingers.

"Let's do the other quests at the same time."According to Kevin, there are also sampling quests. "

"That guy... that's right. It would certainly be helpful if you could take the Collection Quest at the same time.

It's a simple herb extraction, so I can't get it out.Well then, with the collection quest included... "

Hanatha holds up five fingers.

"Hmmm..."

This is a small village, but how far are you going to squeeze it out?

"One more shout."

"I'm a cutlet too... so how about I reward you with my clothes?"

"Hanasa made the clothes?"

“I make and sell clothes.I used cotton. I also make dolls and other accessories, but basically most of my clothes. How about that? "

“I might be grateful for that.”

Dress varies slightly from region to region.Can I say that it is the characteristic of the region?I appreciate you not having to think about it.Besides, clothes don't matter how much you have as long as you have an inventory.

Well then, now you can decide the request and the reward.There are other things I would like to ask for, but the others are not very urgent, so I will ask for both.When the request is fulfilled, I'll ask for the next one. ”

Got it. Monster thinning and herb picking, I can't help it.

"The details of the collection of medicinal herbs are written in this request form, so please read and collect them."

Can you write?

"Yes, only Kevin and I can write in this village.Kevin remembered when he was an adventurer, and I was taught that. ”

Does that mean you're a teacher of letters?

"What are you talking about!"Kevin remembered all the wrong words and was told they were dirty and unreadable!When I went to the city, I was really ridiculed?!I was so ashamed! "

"Oh, is that so..."

"There was a friendly person from the guild, and they gave me a piece of paper to write on, so I relearned it?!"Leave it to me! Oh, my God... really!Oh! I'm already! I'm getting annoyed when I think about it! "

This one is quite angry.Hanatha is clapping her desk in a van.

Well, well, in the end, I was able to learn the script...

Hanatha glares at me for trying to defend Kevin.I don't seem to really resent it, but it's fine!I can't even say that.Nice or bad? In this case, it's good enough to quarrel.

"Hahaha... let's get to work right away..."

Me and Nil get the requisition and leave the village.

“What about that village?”

"I don't know yet." I didn't see everyone, and it's not a question of making a first impression. "

Yes.

"I said that I would collect information from Heine and the others, but I was able to establish a relationship well, and for a while, we will complete the request of Tenolt Village to gain the trust."

I see. Now, will you tell Heine and the others that you will crush the monsters?

“That's right, that's good.The medicinal herbs seem to be enough in hand, so I'll give them to you. "

Got it.

As Nil said, we're going back to the base while we take down the monsters we saw.

"Welcome home."

"Nil! Welcome back!"

Pilte hugs Nil and is happy to go home.

When we get back to the base, Heine and Pilte are reinforcing the camouflage around us, and when they see our faces, they immediately call out to us.We talked about Nil last night, but that didn't change their attitude.No, rather, since I knew that it was the same demon tribe, I think I felt a little closer to Nil.
