Chapter 58: Weapon Acquisition

Chapter 58: Weapon Acquisition

Having been spoiled by Tatsurou during the way home, Ais mood was back to the skies once they reached the town.

Calling the eye-catching Cardina back, the two walked towards the guild with their hands intertwined. Inside, they immediately found the person they were looking for.

Good morning, Rella-san.

Good morning!

Good morning, you two. Will it be the usual?

As she was still in the dark about their conversation with Carn, Rella probably thought that they were here to withdraw part of their holdings.

For now, they decided to deal with their current request.

Yes. And well turn in yesterdays request as well. After that, can we talk about the request you told us before?

Ah, that. I understand. Could you come with me to the private room then?

Understood. Coming!

After a short walk, they entered one of the private rooms within the guild.

There, Rella gave one of the two coins she had to Tatsurou.

So First, this is the reward for yesterdays commission.

Thank you.

Next, manifesting the systems promissory note out, Rella inserted the other coin in and designated it as payment.

Once she was done, Tatsurou opened his menu and checked his account.

On the screen titled Promissory Note, a message with the subject Payment was attached.

After checking the value (445, 697, 052 Sys) carefully, Tatsurou confirmed the transaction and the coin disappeared along with the entire tab.

With this, the guild has paid all of its due, said Rella.

We have received the payment, replied Tatsurou.

Looking at his screen, Tatsurou saw the digits 446, 303, 952 Sys in the Currency bracket. When he informed Ai about it, she shot him a wide smile while giving him a big thumbs up.

After watching their little interaction, Rella clapped once to return their focus to the main topic.

You told me that you wanted to talk about the other request but would it be fine if I assume that the two of you are willing to accept it? she asked.

Yes. We spoke with an adventurer named Carn and after some thought, decided to accept the request, answered Tatsurou.

I see.

Rella was much more delighted than they thought. It was understandable though, as there was a severe lack of manpower before they decided to join. Will it be alright if I hand you the request form right now?

Yes.

Then, please wait for a moment.

The instant she saw them nod their heads, Rella fired up her own system and began to process the request.DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)com

Taking a clear, transparent screen-like object out from her breast pocket, she fiddled with its display and created two request forms which she handed over to the two of them.

Job Information

Client: Lord Lladus, Obsul Town Chief, Adventurers Guild

Job Description: Investigate and exterminate the monsters from the forests surrounding Obsul to the outer edge of Amunelli.

Reward: 2,000,000 Sys

Accept | Decline

If this request pays two million, then shouldnt there be more people gunning for it? asked Ai while accepting the request.

Its not that. As the guild is still unsure of how dangerous this task is, we did not publicly announce it and instead only asked the people we deem suitable, replied Rella. And it only rewards one million per person, so the two million is because there are two of you.

Oh Doesnt matter. Since we took it, well naturally do our best! Right, Tatsurou!

Even if he was fueled by greed no, he was really fueled by greed, the fact that he had the skill still remains.

If only he always had this attitude, then his shop would have a different future

As they both thought that, Ai took a look at the weapons to ensure that everything was there before they paid.

The old man was uneasy watching Ai check the weapons that he kept his eyes constantly on Tatsurou without blinking.

After Ai was done, the pair took a step back, to which the smith took a step forward, maintaining the distance between them.

I know, I know. Well pay for it, so turn back to normal for a bit, said Tatsurou.

Im CoMpLEtEly fINe, yUo KnOw? the smith replied.

I dont see it said Ai after hearing the smiths tone change from nervous to a childs speech.

While Ai accidently let her thoughts slip, Tatsurou exchanged a portion of their payment into a coin with the value of exactly 133,000,000 Sys.

Care to check? he said, handing the coin over.

The smith swallowed his saliva and replied, O,of course, before taking the coin with his trembling hands.

Booting his system up, the smith counted the money, pointing each digit with his finger to make sure that he didnt miss a single one.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand hundred mil

So, is that enough? asked Tatsurou.

Yeah no problem

Then, well take them now, okay? asked Ai.

Yeah no problem

Seeing him fall into a timeless trance, answering both questions with the same reply, the two thought that he was already done for and gave up on talking to him, taking the weapons into their item box.

Though they wanted to bid the smith farewell, they left quietly when they heard the same no problem reply.

As soon as they closed the door on their way out, they heard the blacksmiths jubilant screams. The other pedestrians immediately took notice and looked their way but the two took a stance of we dont know him and hurriedly left the place.

Hes a lost cause, isnt he? said Ai.

Yeah. I kinda dont want to see him again, but we still have that thing with the pelt

Yeah, I feel you

Still anxious about the blacksmith, the two began walking towards the high-class inn.

Once they arrived, the two entered the building and received a key with the number 2 on it before heading back to the gate.

Do you have your key with you?

Yes. Its this one, right?

Yes, maam. Key number two is for the red residence in the middle. Then, please enjoy your stay.

Upon being shown the key, the gatekeeper gave them a respectful bow and opened the gates for them.

After thanking him, the two entered the now unlocked residence.

Wow.

Amazed by the extravagant interior, the two quickly closed their mouths upon seeing three other people a man wearing a butlers outfit and two women wearing maid outfits all with their heads lowered.

And as if the butler had eyes on the back of his head, he raised his face at the perfect timing and said, We have been waiting for you, Hasami-sama, Yashiki-sama. My name is Joey Hackman, and they are

Janice Reynolds at your service.

Doris Rouxam at your service.

We will be serving you during your stay at the inn. Please give us the order when you need us.

Y,yes.

To the two who were of common birth, it was the only word they could say when they experienced such a refined display of manners and speech directed towards them for the first time.

[TL Comment] So worrying about Zendo isnt weird though they pretty much just met him too? [End]
