CH 32

Chapter title: Veteran Adventurer

「What request should we try for now?」

After leaving the reception desk, we decided to accept a request as soon as possible.

We moved to the bulletin board, attracting everyone’s attention.

There were a lot of papers on it, from requests to kill to collect herbs and items.

「Well, how about a request to take down a goblin?」

We started with a simple one. I’ve seen a lot of goblins on our way here, and they’ve been kidnapping kivestock from farms near the city, so I should do this to limit the damage.

I’ve seen the damage they do in my hometown, so I can imagine the joy on their facces.

「I’m going to take a gathering request. I can only take one at a time. I can easily gather ten herbs for this potion.」

Serena was good at indentifying plants, so it was a good choice.

After confirming with each other, Serena and I went to the reception desk, to take the request, but it was closed..

「Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute.」

One of the adventurers called out to us. He was a mature man carrying an axe on his back.

「What can I do for you?」

I replied and…

「You’re new here, right? We’re going to teach you what it means to be an adventurer.」

「Hehehe」

Before we knew it, we were surroundered. The man, who looks disgusting because of the scars on his face, is laughing, and――

「The goblins are as light as they look. If you hit them with momentum, you can easily get an advantageous position.」

「Yes!」

「There a few things you need to know about herbs. Remember where they tend to grow and don’t pick them all, and they’ll grow back in a few days. That way, you can save a lot of time and effort.」

「I see, I’m learning.」

We are currently under the guidance of some adventurers.

Leading us, is Russell’s party, a mid-level adventurer in town.

He has a scary face, but he’s a very caring person, and he always talks to newly registered adventurers and teaching them the mistakes that beginners tend to make.

「Okay, that’s good Elt. But don’t rely on the power of your power. If you learn to take it easy when you’re young, your skills won’t grow.」

Having trudged through the Lost Forest, the mosters that could be found here here were no match for Serena and I.

However, there are unique rules that only adventurers understand. The same goes for the way Serena is learning to pick herbs.

The record of goblin kills remain on the adventurer’s card, but there are no instructions on where to defeat them.

If we don’t kill the goblins on the plains near the houses, we won’t be able to control the damage.

However, if you want to kill only a few, you can go into the forest and attack the caves.

As an adventurer with roots in the city, he wanted to make sure that everyone was happy, even if it took some effort.

「Thank you very much.」

As a result, I obeyed the instructions….

「Okay, now you’ve killed ten of them. Congratulations on completing your request.」

Russel-san laughs at me like that, but even though I’m used to it, I think it’s a loss to see what he’s up to.

「I’m done gathering herbs.」

Serena waved her hand. It seemed that it has gone off without a hitch on their end too.

「All right, then, let’s head out.」

With Ruseel’s signal, we headed back to the city.
