It's a good idea to have a discussion about this reward with me, Count Mayard, and the guild master, Jitan-san.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier and more fun.
Now, regarding the rewards from the adventurer's guild, 'defeating swarms of demons' and 'defeating black dragons' are treated as quests and rewards are offered, and furthermore, it seems that Count Mayard pays a reward for 'defending the city intact' as an honorarium from the Count.
To summarize, they are as follows.
Defeating the demon horde: 30 million comsa.
Defeating the Black Dragon. 60 million comsa.
Bounty (Count Mayard) 360 million Comsa.
___________________________
Total 450 million comsa.
450 million comsa.
When converted to Japanese yen, it's about 300 million yen.
I never thought I would make this much money in just one fight.
I'll keep this incident in my mind as the "Otherworldly 300 million yen incident".
Or rather, the bounty from Count Mayard was an extraordinary amount of money.
As expected of an aristocratic family, they were in a different league.
According to Count Mayard himself, his estate was financially well off.
''Oonen, in particular, is one of the leading commercial cities in our country.
Count Mayard said.
''If it weren't for Lord Koh, Onen would have collapsed and the county of Mayard would have suffered great economic losses. ...... I will never forget the great debt of gratitude I owe to you for defending the city intact. If there is anything I can help you with, please consult with me about it.
Hmm?
Now they're telling me I can talk to them about anything.
I told him about the ancient ruins at just the right time, and he accepted the ownership of the ruins with an almost immediate reply.
Since the conversation proceeded so smoothly, I was conversely puzzled.
''Ko-dono was recognized as a master by the ruins, right? If that is the case, you have no right to interfere with me. Take care of the remains. Hahahahahaha!
Count Mayard looks like a warlord, but he also seems to be quite resolute or generous inside.
''In exchange for that, I wonder if you could show me the armor that Ko-dono used in this battle.
By armor, do you mean swords and armor?
I love heroic stories. I am very fond of heroic tales, and I am thrilled to see the success of Lord Ko. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what kind of armor the modern day hero wears and what kind of sword he uses to defeat the black dragon. I can only sleep at night, wondering what kind of armor and sword he used to defeat the black dragon.
I can only sleep at night, is a phrase that Relic also used, but I wonder if it's popular among the nobility.
Anyway, let's respond to Count Mayard's request.
The first thing we need is some armor.
''It's a bit light for armor, but I wore this outfit during yesterday's battle.
I stood up and tugged on the hem of my suit with a pin, appealing to him.
As expected, Count Mayard rolled his eyes, as if this response was unexpected.
'What a ......! I thought it was a classy ceremonial dress, but I didn't expect to see him fighting in that form: ......!
Well, it's no surprise to me.
I myself never thought the day would come when I would be wielding a sword in a suit.
"Well, Kou-dono really surprises me. So you've abandoned your defense and are concentrating on offense and evasion?
''No, this outfit is actually made of Fenrir's material. ''Physical Damage Blocking A and Magic Damage Blocking A.''
is granted, so it's much sturdier than normal armor.
With Fenrir, it's ......!
Count Mayard gulped.
''Isn't that a legendary grade demon? Where in the world did you get such clothes ......!
I made it myself.
"So you're not only a top-notch adventurer, but also a top-notch craftsman! Nuh-uh, it's truly substandard: ......!
Thank you.
I thanked him and moved on to introduce the sword.
I took out the Hikino Tree Sword from the item box.
''This will be the sword I used to slay the black dragon.
"Lord Ko, this just looks like a wooden sword to me.
Count Mayard makes a puzzled sound.
That's right.
I'm sure others will think it's just a bad joke, like slaying a dragon with a wooden sword.
I decide to add a little more explanation.
''This wooden sword is something I made myself. It has been given 《Slash Strength A+》, and it's even better than it looks. ...... If you want, I can demonstrate it to you.
'Oh! That sounds interesting! By all means, please!
At Count Mayard's request, we were to move to the guild's underground training grounds.
Old steel armor (donated by a retired adventurer) was left everywhere, so we decided to put it on a large straw doll for a mock battle and have it become a victim.
''Ha!''
I swing the wooden sword down with my spirit.
The slashing attack, which was released at a perfect angle and speed by 【Dexterity's Mastery】, had cut off the straw doll with the entire steel armor.
At the sight, Count Mayard, Celentina, and Jitan-san all gasped.
'...... wonderful!'
Count Mayard clapped loudly as he ran over to me.
''Indeed, that wooden sword was an excellent cut! Mister Coe, I'm sorry I doubted you! I'm sorry!
No, no, I understand the temptation to doubt, so don't worry about it.
'Oh, what a big-hearted ......! But it wasn't just the wooden sword that was amazing. Ko-dono's sword skills in handling it were also amazing. Don't you think so too, Celentina?
Serentina was a little confused when the conversation suddenly turned on her, but eventually she nodded quietly.
''I am of the same opinion as your father. I see that Ko-dono's ability is already in the realm of mastery.''
'Mmm! Even if I and Celentina attacked me at the same time, they wouldn't be able to defeat Lord Ko.
After saying this, Count Mayard clapped his hands together as if he had an idea.
'Ko-dono, if you don't mind, would you mind joining hands with me once? I don't think we can win, but the sight of a powerful opponent makes my blood boil. I want you to show me what you're capable of.
