Chapter 9 - Headache Relief and the Rainbowhoppers
After seeing how smoothly I defeated the monster the Ramuh adventurers seemed to have lost their fun
They asked ht away
Of course, I didn't tell the behind petty insults like
Idiot, stupid! Go die to some monster――!
I didn't answer No way I'd reply to that kind of childish slander
From there I wandered the plains on oblin, both of which I took care of without proble them afterwards continued to prove successful
”And number six, done!”
Sure is easy to defeat low level eneher they'd probably be able to sidestep a sih level doesn't just e
By the time I returned to the royal capital the ht sky above, illuh it at full sprint
”Lola, I got the wrists――!”
”I knew you'd make it!”
As I headed to her reception desk Lola walked out to greet me Now to receive the quest reward of 8000 ria
Or so I thought, but instead Lola picked up a hand bell and rang it What's going on?
”Noir Stalgia has successfully couild was still full of adventurers Now, they all stood up to clap, sratulations!”
”Welcome to us warriors of Odin”
”Let's work hard if we ever party up!!”
Uwa, this is bad I'm super happy!
”Thank you, everyone!”
With a deep bow I saluted uild was an incredible feeling, as if I gained a new home
Afterwards I let Lola know that I'd be back the next day and took ained soiven today's events let's buy a tasty h the s to take home, when――
”Have you seen Noir!?”
At one of the open air stalls three people were asking a familiar stall owner about my whereabouts Those three people's expressions were, unlike usual,
serious and full of urgency
I approached and called out to the?”
”Uooo! What happiness, so you were alive!!――”
”Huh? Whoa-!?”
Without warning all three of thes and the conversation was halted
What happened!?
I asked them what they were on about and received an unexpected answer
”You didn't come hoht you failed the hero school exam, and due to that shock”
”'Brother must have turned suicidal!,' basically”
”No way I would!!”
I'm not someone that would kill himself, they should know that much I'd choose a life of shah it's uncool
But still Hus, that's also true Frankly, seeing all three of them worry about me like that made me happy
”No need to worry, I passed the exam Even placed third”
”Whooaoaah!? N-n-n-noir, you're not joking with us, r-r-right!?”
”Yes, father I' about it tomorrow, to everyone I've met in my life!”
Father stretched his hands to the sky, filled with joy He then went on to grab rando 'My son ranked third in the hero school entrance exa so please don't
While lettingfather calm down I called out to the butcher close-by and ordered some bird meat
Now mother panicked
”Excuse me!? That's quality meat of the 5000 ria kind!”
”Please calm down, mother Truth is, I also became an adventurer today I already completed my first quest for an 8000 ria reward, which also happens to be the reason I' so late today”
”Which means you surpassed father on your first day then As expected of big brother”
”Stop right there Aliceee! Think ofsounded like it came from the bottom of his heart
Most nobles own land or receive soe's taxes and that way possess a source of inco to work, that's the norm However, not us It's a shame, but since we're only nobles in na
Even so, father had his own pride and abruptly put on a tense expression He actually looked pretty cool like that
”I'h money to properly raise my children Noir, how much is the school entrance fee?”
”300,000 ria by next week”
”A month later won't do?”
”It's fine, father I'll earn it”
”Forgive roup of four headed hoia and then we all ate soether

”Another good request came in today, 'Deliver one rainbowhopper'”
”Rainbowhopper, huh”
I looked at the request flyer that Lola handed uess, rainbowhoppers are rainbow colored grasshoppers Their habitat has been more or less identified, but despite that they are famous for their rarity
”If it's you it should be an easy task You have that one skill, right?”
”Ah, true”
I totally forgot, but I've still got the Great Sage This skill has the ability to tell me the answer to just about any question
”See you later then, I'll be right back”
As I left the guild E the Great Sage skill then her kisses will be indispensable
Although, now that I possess skill creation let's try creating 「Absolute Headache Resistance」
「Absolute Headache Resistance」 5000 LP
Expensive! For me at no more than 700 that wasn't doable for a while However, to at least tone it down to a bearable level I tried re 『Absolute』, which made the bar fall down all the way to 300
Let's take it
”Looking forward to seeing hoell this works”
To see whether it will allow me to bear the headache or not
For now there's still the possibility of another intense one hitting ht away I'll have to ask Emma to be around for――
”――Idiot don Noir!!”
As always, E And as always, her shaking chest was so else
