Chapter 75 – A Determined Man
We parted ways just as we entered the north entrance of Bezart.
What will you do now? When I asked Ria-sama about her plans, she said that for the time being, she would walk around the city looking for transmigrants, and when she saw no movement of people, she would withdraw the split entity once.
Starting tomorrow, she said she would be observing Bezart for about a week, so she asked me if she could use me as a contact person to withdraw her split entity at night and bring it out in the morning.
So I told her my plans.
“Ria-sama, I don’t know how long it will be after tomorrow, but I will continue to stay in the Lulub Forest where we went today. So I won’t be in the city.”
“Why? It doesn’t look like what people are doing, does it?”
“I went there today and found out. That place is far away, and the materials are big and time-consuming, so it’s not very financially efficient. So I’m going to put money aside at this point and stay there until I graduate from the Lulub Forest.”
“I see. I understand.”
While saying this, Ria-sama looks down for some reason.
(Ugh… strange feeling of guilt… but it can’t be helped. It’s no use commuting from Bezart to this place every day. Right!)
“Shoes…”
“Hmm? Ah… maybe shoes bought here can’t be taken back to the divine realm?”
“Yes.”
If that’s the case, then the shoes will be left at the place where she split her body…
It’s not a very expensive pair of shoes, but even I feel like I bought them.
――So.
“…I-I understand. Then let’s say I keep renting that room! Then you can leave the shoes in the room when you withdraw, and take them out when you come back, so there will be no problem, right? I’ll just tell the landlady that I’m only staying until today, but after that, the girl will stay, and as long as I pay her all the money, it should be fine!”
“Loki’s not staying there, so how can you afford to pay for it?”
“Fufufu, I’m quite rich despite what I look like. Although I don’t really know how much money I have.”
“What’s that?”
I really think Ria-sama looks even cuter when she smiles like that.
If that’s the case, let’s not be so conscious and say it properly.
Even though she is a goddess, she might notice something.
“Ria-sama? It’s even more beautiful when you smile, you know? I think you should refrain from smiling in the city, though, because men will go crazy if you do.”
“――!! I’ll leave my shoes in your room later!”
――I look vaguely at Ria-sama as she runs away.
(Today was fun… but each Rig Spider is about 1%. On the other hand, the two orcs I killed while Ria-sama was hiding in the tree increased my experience by 5%. So there is a high possibility that even the goddess is sucking up experience. If I hunt the Rig Spider alone tomorrow, I’m pretty sure I’ll have the answer, but that’s the only thing I’m a little disappointed about…)
I thought there might be a party that I wouldn’t call a party.
But if you ask me which is better than the obsession with power, the obsession with power still wins.
It’s like a disease.
Phew…
Today is today, and tomorrow is tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I’m going to get serious… so I went to the Hunters’ Guild to cash in my materials.
▽ ▼ ▽ ▼ ▽
“I never thought I’d see such a normal amount of material in Loki’s basket.”
“Th-there were some circumstances! Besides, today is my first day at Lulub!”
“Hmm? You didn’t go yesterday? Well, I didn’t see you yesterday…”
“Y-yesterday a lot of things happened, I was fishing in the Seil River…”
“Fuhahaha! I see, that’s okay. Loki spends so much time hunting every day that it worries me! You’ll die young if you don’t get some rest, you know?”
“Roddy-san is here every day too… Besides, I’ve had enough rest, so I’ll start taking it seriously tomorrow.”
“Oh? I’m looking forward to that.”
I said and asked him to check the materials. As he said, there were indeed some today, and it looked easy.
While I was watching the scene, Roddy-san picked up the orc meat and took it to the side of the dismantling area.
There was a large fishhook-like object hanging there, and after he hooked the meat in, he fumbled with it behind him.
“Is that a scale or something?”
“Yes. The price of the meat is determined by the part of the meat, the weight, and the rank of the material. For a Horned Rabbit or something like that, it’s about the same price per body, but for an Orc, it’s not so easy to make such a rough estimate.”
This is also true.
With Horned Rabbits, even if the amount of meat is slightly different, the difference is only a few hundred bees at most.
I have never seen a child Horned Rabbit, but when they grow up, they are all about the same size, so there is not much difference.
But with orcs, it depends on how much the hunter is willing to cut up and bring back.
In this world, it might be possible for a hunter to know the weight of an orc by holding it in his hand, but the price is determined by weighing the orc.
“All right, we’re done. Two orcs, both of material rank “B,” meat quality “extra fine,” both weighing 11 kg. There are also two magic stones and two pieces of subjugation proof. Then there are 5 Rig Spiders and 8 Small Wolves. That leaves one kilogram of Rig Spider’s thread.”
I had no idea how much it would cost.
“No problem. But unlike before, I have no idea what the price is…”
“That’s… not clear to me either. That’s the receptionist’s job. Ask Amanda.”
“Right.”
It can’t be helped.
I don’t need the money, but I’ll exchange it today.
And if Ria-sama and the other goddesses come down in the future, I’ll need some money in case something happens to them.
I was thinking of leaving it all with Amanda-san, but if that is the case, I can leave the money with Ria-sama for now.
If someone tries to steal it, Ria-sama will be able to fight them off quickly, right?
Oh, yes, that’s right.
I’ll have to let Roddy-san know.
“Roddy-san. I’m going to take it seriously tomorrow and stay in the Lulub Forest, so I don’t think I’ll see you here for the time being. If anyone wants to use the basket, you can lend it to them.”
“Huh? …Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean?”
“As I said, I will be living in the Lulub Forest for the time being. So I’m not going back to the city.”
“Is that what you really mean! This is not normal! Hey, are you listening to me?”
If I don’t go home soon, I don’t know when Ria-sama will come back to my room at the inn.
“It’s okay. I’ll do my best!”
After saying that, the next step was to go to the reception.
I pass the wooden plank to Amanda-san’s place… and――
Next to the counter is a man who gets down on his knees as soon as he sees me.
Yes, the axe man I saw today was rubbing his forehead on the floor.
