Two as One Princesses

"Right, you guys take it for me." That's what you said about this poor girl, too. "

Having said that, I can't forget the indescribable expression of my mother who approached me.

She was taken by guild officials shortly afterwards. After that, the rest of us -- the serate that came with Ziweld -- couldn't do anything, and was told to stay here until we settled down in a room where there was only a chair and a desk in the guild.

"I wonder if we made a mistake..."

"No, I did the right thing. If Master Jiu hadn't moved, at least one life would have been lost."

The serate reacts to my leaky crush. She is certainly right in her words. She--the Eilnerge didn't seem to want to let go of that herb. We saw it from the middle, but it felt like she wanted to get away from it without asking.

And the woman she was with, the servant, looked at the client's mother unhappily.

She said it herself, but I don't know if the boy was saved by giving her herbs to her mother. It was like a special medicine, and it wouldn't have been easy to make.

If so, I wish I had accepted another request. Even with a lot of success rewards, you probably realized from the beginning that she could definitely make medicine with your request.

Because I was thinking like that and kept silent, I couldn't put up with quiet things. Contrary to what I said earlier, the serate muttered.

“But there was certainly something to reflect on.”

“For example?”

"I didn't properly talk to the client's woman." I didn't think I knew how to process it while I was searching for that herb. "

”That's... that's right”

"Besides, it's a reflection that we changed our response because of the difference between rich and poor... I am very embarrassed to be one of the priests for equality."

The serate said that and nodded. It seems that she is really embarrassed, and her expression is dark.

"I-I know how the serate feels." I wasn't very wealthy when I was born. I've seen quite a few people die when they get sick but they can't afford medicine, and I hope it will be a life-saving world even if they don't have the money. ”

"That's right--I thought so too. I've seen a lot of poor people suffer because they can't pay. And the good thing about being wealthy is that some people let their money tell them what they want.

But there are limits to treating diseases in the church, and there are medicines that are hard to get even for the wealthy. ”

She said, "Eilnerge knew that."

"That's right... maybe." But she refused Master Jiu's request, didn't she? "

”That's... that's right”

Before I enrolled, I asked Eilnerge to do me a favor, and he refused me.

Even though I'm a hunter, I've been taught that we need to help each other, and I'm very impressed because I didn't expect to be turned down because a lot of people actually helped me.

Even though she was a hunter at that age, she was supposed to be helped by a lot of people, so I was angry to wonder why she would refuse. But it is true that there was no one like her at all. There must have been someone who could do the job quietly without looking at the young hunter in trouble.

I don't have much of an impression because I haven't been involved with those people. To be honest, I don't have a very good impression.

That's why I feel sorry when I look at Eilnerge.

Already an E-Class Hunter, she is sure to have the strength to help her classmates. If you have that much power, you can give it a lecture.

I try to speak up if there are people in trouble, and if they ask me for anything, I'm still in the consultation.

Not only has it become a powerful profession, but I have been helped by various people, and I think it would be rewarding to do it, and I've been told that.

When I asked if I could give back to my Hunter predecessors, they told me that they could help people in the same way. Not just one party, but a lot of the Hunters I've been involved with.

And I was impressed, and I wanted to be.

How much does the serate know about that herb?

"It's the Rifolgo grass that Mr. Eilnerge had." I don't know much about it, but it seems to be a medicinal herb that can increase the effectiveness of the medicine. It's very rare, and I think I read something that the monsters of rank B and rank A only grow in the depths of the forest.

It's a famous herb, but it's rare, so if you think about it, it might not be strange if it's commonly used as a cure for anything. ”

"And since it is a request to collect medicinal herbs, people who don't know it well - it's just hard to find - it's thought to be a request that can be done easily..."

When I was told to search for medicinal herbs instead, it was okay for me to take them, but before I could respond, the women were taken by the guild. Then, I was told that the request was not something that a junior hunter - even a senior hunter - could easily accept.

At the same time, I was scared of the woman who was making the request.

But even though there are people in trouble, it's hard to say that they don't do anything.

"Rifolgo grass?" After all, I'm just going to look for it, so I'm going to look for it. "

That's right...

I'd rather do something than do nothing. The serate seemed to return something to the words in his mouth, but his voice was annihilated by Doth's clever voice saying, "That's unacceptable."

Looking towards the entrance, a tall skinhead man with patchy clothes and muscles stood with a scary face.

”Who did you... refuse to come in?”

It was a sudden event, but she stepped forward to hide the serrate from the man and responded in a low voice so as not to beat the other person.

When the man sighed, he turned his grim eyes towards us.

"I'm the leader here, in short, the Guildmaster." That's why you turned me down and came in. This is just an emergency in the guild facility, so I'm just letting you in. "

I can't return anything because I was told to do so. If you think about it, it's only the guild that comes in at this time, isn't it?

The serate comes forward and gives an opinion because I know who the person who came in next to me is thinking about it.

“But I don't think we'll be eavesdropping.”

"Why don't you tell me not to snoop around in the guild?" If you really don't want to be heard, you should speak at a minimum volume wherever you are.

In the first place, I brought you here to stand out, of course, to talk about this apocalypse, and to keep you from moving on your own. For example, if you try to perform high-ranking requests on your own judgment,

When I heard the words of the guildmaster, the serrate...... lost his words. This time, I can't say anything because the Guildmaster is right.

"So, in this case, if we talk about you, we have to give you some sort of penalty in some cases."

"Why!?"

Well, listen to me.

Penalty - I can't remain calm when I hear about punishment. Why should we be punished? I didn't do anything wrong.

But I lost to the pressure of the guildmaster and nodded reluctantly to listen.

"I don't know where to start..." Let's start with the client. I'm already the original client.

"You mean her mother?"

"That's right. That mother and father, to be exact, can't ask the Hunter Union to do it anymore." Even if another person sent out a request on your behalf, there would be no request as soon as it was found. Well, that's the best you can do for your guild. "

"Wait, I'll see you then."

Can't you help that kid?

Slowly nodding as she goes ahead of her words. If I can't ask the guild to do it, it'll be harder to get rifolgo grass... At least I don't think I can get it if I give away the money.

Even if it is put up for sale, the price will be such that only the rich can buy it. But if you ask the Hunter's Union, there might be a problem. At least she didn't do anything wrong.

"But we can't afford to sacrifice a few hunters to save a child." That's the kind of request. Of course, it's up to you whether you want to do it or not, and even if you lose your life, it's Hunter.

But are you happy that 10 hunters have been sacrificed to help one of your children? "

"That's..."

"Besides, when I didn't have a hand to make the medicinal herbs I got that well." So what if the kid doesn't help?

Nevertheless, that's fine. The problem is that even such a senior hunter tried to push a dangerous request to a junior hunter-and a school student. I don't know anywhere else, but at least in the capital of the kingdom of Osuente I can't approve of that. "

In other words, that mother's words to us were decisive. But with that, at least I'm still alive.

"You think that's the case."

"Why did you do that?"

"I'm drawing it on my face. That may be true of you, but what if it were your classmate? You might just want to catch the students around here and get some herbs. I talked a little, but that's no good. He is the type of person who only believes what he wants to believe. Moreover, I will interpret it for my own convenience.

It's over there. It's called herb. It shouldn't be easy to get even if you load the money.

I saw the unpleasant sweat on my back. I had no idea what that mother was going to do.

But I remembered that I had heard something similar. It's definitely about the bandits. If you encounter a bandit, kill him if you can.

Hearing that, you're overdoing it. Once I punished him, I asked if he would reflect on me.

Then, with a very serious expression, he said briefly, "Maybe your family will be attacked next time." If the person who is a bandit does not reflect because he has been punished, he has been told that he will only be attacked by someone else if he misses it. When I thought I was going too far, I was told that I should catch them, but at the same time I was told that I had to be that strong to catch them.

"Besides, the child's illness is certainly not light, but Rifolgo grass can be cured without using high-end products." Rifolgo grass is essential. There's no way a sick child can walk outside.

However, somehow, that woman had a disease that could not be cured without Rifolgo grass. "

The Guildmaster muttered, "I wonder if you're even mad at the tragic heroine." When I was told to do so, I thought it would be good if I could move after listening to the story, even though it was not a series.

But if we can cure it with cheaper medicine, maybe we can do something about it.

"As I saw today, the price of the medicine needed to cure the child's illness is six to seven gold coins." In other words, if you can pay for this request, it's not something you can't do. I told you, don't do any more.

If there's anything I can do to help, that's why I have to think about how to treat you. "

"... I see."

If she is to be saved, I have no complaints.

That's what a penalty is, isn't it?

"No. Well, I'm not wrong about that, but that's not all."

Is there anything else?

I'm not convinced about that parent and child, but I don't remember doing anything else.

But the Guildmaster was staring at us in awe.

"I wouldn't teach you so politely, but... you guys were too involved with the other hunters." Even if it's a quarrel, I can't miss it this time.

"You're too involved!?"

"Usually, the first time I see the situation, the staff will eventually pay attention to it. This is the first time we've had this situation. So if you do it a second time, I'll give you a penalty."

"What did I do to you?"

"I had other hunters accept my request."

I don't know what the master's words mean, so I tilted my neck.

I'm a hunter, so what's wrong with accepting a request?

"We take the request that the other hunters were looking at." I don't care about this. It's a problem, but it's not about us.

But it's not the same thing to say that I'm forced to accept a request that I don't intend to accept.

In short...... Go to the center now and defeat the 50-story monster in the lair and get the material. It's an order as a guildmaster. "

"What are you talking about!?" There's no way we can do that. ”

"Isn't that right? That's why we can't let another hunter take over."

"But Eilnerge has the Rifolgo grass..."

"I had the result, but at the time of the commotion, it didn't seem like you were sure that you had it." It seems that the girl who was watching the request suddenly got involved with her. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't had it. "

“If I didn't have it, I should have said I didn't have it.”

"I tried to tell you, but she didn't even try to listen."

Return to the main body, but do not force others to accept requests. That's the rule. If there's an exception, it's an urgent request from the guild. Whether it's a small matter or a result request is fulfilled, if you forgive it, you won't be able to show it. "

I don't know what to say. We must abide by the rules. I don't think so, but I don't think I can replace people's lives. The Guildmaster continued to say more words about the dissatisfaction that was appearing on his face.

"If human life is paramount, the Church will have to help dying people for free."

That's what I'm told, and I see you as a silate. The serate was nervous with a bad expression on his face. If you talk only about the serate, you won't take money from someone dying in front of you. Even so, I have seen a child who is slightly injured and an elderly man who is using magic without paying for it. But that is not the case for the whole church.

"Well, I guess you didn't think about it at all, but that girl was going to use the Rifolgo grass, right?" That's why you didn't easily accept the request. "

"I-It can't be...!"

I noticed it when I was told. I wanted to say it couldn't be, but it couldn't be. Because I haven't heard the story.

Not only that woman, but I haven't heard from Eilnerge either.

"I have to apologize..."

"What are you going to do about it?" Can you prepare it instead of rifolgo grass? "

I can't, but I can.

Filled with what I had done, I didn't hear the Guildmaster's twinkle, "I think it's better to stop."
