Chapter 9 (2/2)
Like shi+ps on a stormy sea
Back to topic, she looked a little upset
”When you said you'd earn it on your own yesterday, that had thean adventurer!? Why didn't you take ――!”
Seems like she asked my family for my whereabouts and found out that I was headed to the adventurer's guild Let's be upfront and apologize properly here while looking as dejected as possible
”I'm sorry”
”A-, no, don't feel that bad about it, okay? I was just a little sad”
”Adventuring is dangerous, and, well, I felt reluctant about inviting you”
”We're still childhood friends, right? Did you forget our proo ore that we'd be together as one until we die?”
”Actually six years, five months and twelve days, but yes”
I can't say I re I said ere playing around as kids, but looks like E on a quest right now, right? I'll co Even if you slapE help I thankfully accepted her assistance and together we headed to the rainbowhoppers' habitat
The Yumur river flowed not too far from the city Its crystal clear water and near complete lack of any aquaticspot As a result, its riverbanks were dotted with people swinging their fishi+ng rods
E on catching any fish Aside froood place for catching grasshoppers
But sure enough, that didn't make the job much easier
They are so difficult to spot, it's said that when you're looking for rainbowhoppers on your own youthe river up and down for a year without stu upon any
But in return, when you do find one you can sell thely high
Well, their only utility isat them, really It's one of those pastie, would you”
”You don't even have to ask! I told you, anyti, after all”
Ee without worry
Where can we find the rainbowhopper closest to us?
「In the shadow of a large boulder 300 meters southwards from your current location」
My head did ache a little, but it was easily bearable Let's ask another question
And how many rainbowhoppers are there in a three kilo fine Compared to earlier the headache barely worsened Just to check I tried one more question and, indeed, the pain continued to remain the same
Great!
Given the brutal pain the skill used to cause a while ago this was soress If the pain is only of this extent it wouldn't even hinder ured out the hopper's location”
”Huh? What about the kiss?”
”I acquired some headache relief, turns out I'it's not like we can't do it whenever, right? Childhood friends, after all”
”True~ Alright, let's go!”
Just like the Great Sage said there was a rainbowhopper in the described location, its body separated lengthwise by seven vivid colors
There was soood arasshopper, but with soht our first rainbowhopper
We put it into a bag and closed the opening
”Apparently there are two more around here, let's catch those as well and sell thee skill and our swiftthe other te properly sealed them and contently returned to town On our way back Emma asked
”Hey, weren't your movements pretty quick? Did you acquire a new skill?”
”Ah, that's probably ht now”
”Huh!? That's close to twice my level”
E farther away――”
”Please, that's not true”
”I want to becoer, too! I've decided, I'll take Odin's test and becoood?”
”Sure, but first let's sell the grasshoppers Wasn't there so the people you know? Mister Grasshopper?”
”Ah, yeah, there is! Alright, I'll go get hiuild while Emma headed to Mister Grasshopper, an eccentric person who collects grasshoppers and would probably love to get his hands on rainbowhoppers I heard he h business way back in the day so now he has a wealth of capital
”Oh my, did you already catch one?”
Lolalike she expected ht that even with the
Great Sage skill catching the rainbowhoppers would still prove to be a challenge
”Yes, please take one froht three!? That's beyond unexpected”
With visible admiration she took care of all the paperwork Apparently today's request had a lot of points assigned to it, so Istep towards D rank I also received the reward of 50,000 ria
”Here he is~”
”Ah, that was quick”
E outside the guild A stocky ed man with the air of a healthy eater
We've met a couple tiain”
”I heard you caught a rainbowhopper?”
When I showed hi's contents he let out an excited voice and expressed his delight
”How about 100,000 for both of therasshopper That's the sauild, but I'm pretty confident there's usuallythese
That's when Emma and me shared a look
”For how ain?”
Wink The goal was to ht not be able to call it telepathy, but E relationshi+p She knehat I ht away
”Hmmm, yeahhh, pretty sure he said 290,000, didn't he~”
”T-two ninety!? Isn't that way too much!”
He was surprised, but even more dazed than him was I Don't you think that's too e of 150,000 As expected, getting close to 300,000 ria like that will rasshopper collector――
Pop
Or rather, jingle He began lining up coins on the ground
”Here's 300,000 You'll sell theht?”
”Thank you for your purchase!”
By reflex I shouted like awith the two rainbowhoppers over to the collector, who then went on his ith a beaoodbye
”Yay~”
”I had some doubts when you raised the price like that, but to think it would go that well”
”Of course~, he's rich like that”
”Huh, but wait a second”
I've already earned all the school entrance fee money!
