Chapter 20 Part1 (1/2)
=====
A large population of Wild Squirrels are ravaging the supply of Popol Fruit and need to be eliminated There are so many that this commission is open to as many adventurers as possible
Client: Koiwah Plantation
=====
Popol Fruit was a specialty of the Koiwah Plantation The outside eet like a peach, and the inside was soft and juicy with a slight fizz The plantation itself was so large I couldn't even see how big it really was It definitely wasn't a job for a single adventurer, and there were a large number of people who had accepted the commission
[ Wild Squirrel x4 have appeared! HP 24 ]
[ Ryua attacked! Wild Squirrel x4 took an average of 500,119 dae! Wild Squirrel x4 were defeated! ]
Thedeal They were probably even weaker than the Cave Rabbits, and I doubted that an adventure of any level would have an issue taking one down The probleroups I was able to see more than thirty just in my vicinity alone Apparently they bred quickly, so if they weren't taken care of, their numbers would rapidly increase
I started out trying et rid of the There see up We were C Ranks after all, so I figured ould take onco squirrels
”You see, if the plantation's crops are destroyed, then the prices of the fruit on the o up like crazy”
That's right, it was because of Roel She had said so stuff too, but I was sure she just wanted to do it for the free food When she had heard she could have her pick of popol, strawberries, apples, and whatever else she liked, her eyes had sparkled I thought I even saw her drool a bit before she closed her mouth
There was no doubt that reas te to be, I probably wouldn't have bothered at all Of course, we could have ended it in an instant I thought we should just use ic to do a clean sweep of the whole place But, naturally, that would have wiped out the crops too, so Roel immediately said no
I was trying to go as fast as possible to end this quickly when Roel called out
”You know there's other adventurers here too, so try not to hog them all”
If she hadn't said anything I wouldn't have even thought of it I was stealing away their chances at leveling up froht in front of them I forced myself to take it slower after that
A hysterical cry caroup of adventurers They were surrounded by a group of squirrels I couldn't just ignore theh, and not even a single piece of squirrel was left after roup stood in shock for ame over and over
”Ah, so you're Ryua? You're sined!” I had continued to hunt the squirrels while the three girls were talking to me I wondered how they had known my name
”We heard froirl that you took down Grundom We're all very happy about that Plus, the fact that it was a girl who took hih that maybe someday…”
The news about Grundoirls were looking at me ide-eyed adinners froear, and since I was only a C Rank, it felt weird for them to praise me like that But I couldn't say I disliked it
It ell past noon by the time the squirrels had been mostly eliminated Koiwah, both the owner of the plantation and its na sweat from his face as he thanked us repeatedly
”Really, I can't thank everyone enough! Thanks to you everything wasn't completely destroyed!”
The rest of the staff were also there, thanking us as well
”So, noe can go take whatever ant, right?”
Of course it was Ode I wished sootten rid of hiht it for a second
”Of course, of course But, please keep it within a certain linated 'To Be shi+pped' alone,” Koiwah said
”Yummm!”
I was looking around to see who had actually shouted that aloud when I saw Roel standing there, her hands folded and that sparkle back in her eye I should have guessed it was her
The scene was nothing like it had been earlier Oneweapons, the blood of squirrels everywhere The next ht eat all the fruit in the place herself
”Ryua, you're not going to have any?” She had juice around her mouth and fruit in each hand
”Roel, I think you should finish those grapes first before you pick up anything else”
I had already eaten as
”Yo! You guys see well, eh?”
He was so da a basket overfloith fruit on his arm
”I've been doing pretty well!” He didn't even wait for an answer, and neither of us had asked ”I'm Level 7 now You're what? Level 6? Well, don't you worry I'ood as me someday”
”Mm, yeah, I'll do my best,” Roel said I had no idea how she dealt with him
It had been quite some time since we last saw hiht have realize there was no chance she would still be Level 6 After we had finished thequest, Roel had been measured at Level 10
”There she is! Ryua!” It was the girls fro for me They also had a baskets full of fruit
”Is it okay if we talk to you a bit ation commission?”
”Ah, well, ere really only doing acommission…” I said
”You want to hear a truly fascinating tale? Let me tell you about the time I saved someone from the brink of death!” Ode said
”No thanks” The girls had coldly shut him down
”You knoe're still C Ranks, so we're not that much different from you three,” Roel said

”That's not true at all! We're all still Level 2 and D Ranks Not too long ago we ended up in a really dangerous spot on the 2nd Floor of the Avangard Caves A group of bats surrounded us and we used all of our healing potions to escape alive That's e're so thankful you got rid of Grundoht have happened to us”
”We would have had no chance against hiave us a new sense of courage!” said another
