“Chapter 133: Takaya’s Job 2”

– This is amazing!

Even with my help, it was Roar’s ability who it possible to pierce the longhorn.

– Takaya, you’re incredible. I’m glad we found you.

– I’m just doing what I can.

I still feel like I haven’t repaid them for everything they’ve done for me.

These people accepted me despite all my shortcomings. It’s thanks to their full-fledged trust in me that I’m able to thoroughly develop my skills.

– Come on, let’s go get the boar’s horn.

The longhorn had completely lost any signs of life by the time we reached its death place.

I collected its horn while apologizing in a low voice.

– Takaya, take a look at this.

Meirir waved and signaled me to gaze at a certain spot.

– …It’s dead.

A badly wounded longhorn was laying on the ground. Its horns had been torn to shreds and its dead body was full of injuries.

– It’s still recent…

– Takaya?

– Meirir-san, I know it’s a hassle, but can you three please dig a hole? We can’t leave it like this.

– Sure, but we need to keep looking for boars. None of us can hunt at night, except for Mumuruu, who is busy.

– It’s fine. We’ll keep at it until the very last minute.

After burying the boar, we kept hunting for as long as we had energy.

We managed to get a total of 10 horns. I would say it’s a good result considering we don’t have Mumuruu.

Meirir, Dyke and Roar suffered some scratches while fighting but nothing worrying. I, of course, was in the backline being protected all the time.

So far, everything is still going according to my plan.

– Good catch, Takaya. How did you know the others teams wouldn’t bother to pick up the magical stones on the dead bodies? (Roar)

– Only 5 participants per team. I’m sure all the teams decided to go with their strongest frontline warriors.

No one thought people with production and processing skills would be necessary for a “war”. At least in this aspect, we got the upper edge.

The boars don’t just have their horns, they also harvest magical stones and other valuable materials in their bodies.

The winner of this battle is whoever gets the most money, not whoever kills the most boars.

I’m sure we can get some good money for all these materials.

– The other teams should be done with the big guy already. Once Mumuruu is back we should head to the branch early. Rudra and Feria must be worried. (Meirir)

– Right. Even Takaya has… GET DOWN! (Roar)

Roar tackled me back into a bush to protect me as a fierce red flame erupted from the bonfire.

– Dyke, Meirir, are you okay!?

– I’m fine, but I don’t know about Dyke.

– Kh… Sorry, I didn’t react in time.

– Dyke!

Half of his face had a slight burn.

We should treat it as soon as possible.

– Heyy, adventurers! Lovely night we’re having. Sorry to intrude but, would you mind giving us all your loot? (???)
