v2c17 (2/2)

“In that case I once again congratulate you. With this quest, Lute-san’s adventurer level has increased to level II”

Ooh, it got raised so quickly!

It looks like the Adventurers’ Guild made fair evaluations based on results, even if the adventurer was a child.

“Will you be taking a level II quest today?”

“Yes. Please make it a monster extermination quest like before.”

“Monster subjugation, is it. Now that you’re a level II, you can take quests going inside forests and quests for dealing with stronger monsters. The ordinary subjugation quests posted on the board pay about 1-3 silver coins per monster.”

She then listed the payments for eliminating each of the subjugation target monsters.

Garugaru, 1 silver coin.

Goblins, 1 silver coin.

Giant spider, 2 silver coins.

Man-eating lizard-snakes, 2 silver coins.

Orcs, 3 silver coins.

These seem to be the general outline of the monsters living in the forests on the outskirts of the maritime town Grey.

I have defeated GaruGaru’s yesterday.

And a long time ago I defeated goblins at the age of 8.

The great spider is a spider that is about 6 times larger than a common spider and attacks living things in the forest as a group.

The man eating lizard-snakes are poisonous, the poisoned prey will be unable to move and eaten by the big snake.

Orcs are 2~3m big demons with low intelligence but with strength and they’re resilient.

All of them are fairly strong but probably no enemy for the AK47.

It seems, at level 2 there are no high grade demons yet.

It seems the only one among them i need to be careful about is the poison of the man-eating lizard-snake. But at the tool shop an antidote fruit to that poison is sold and when eaten it immediately neutralizes it.

Once I get outside the Adventurers’ Guild it won’t be a problem to buy some.

If it’s as easy as this, I will be able to do level 2 quests as well.

If I have the modern weapons ‘S&W M10’ and ‘AK47’, suppression-like quests don’t seem difficult.

It’s an easy victory even if there is no particular adventurer teacher. Alright, I will keep going till I’m level 5 and surprise Snow.

――because I easily rose to level 2 I got extremely carried away.

At this time, I didn’t know that there is a trap that would warp my fate on a grand scale.

“Are you alone Lute-kun? In case you enter the forest for the first time I recommend to buy a map in the adventurer supported shop.”

“A map?”

“It’s for not getting lost in the forest. Unless you are together with a skilled adventurer, it’s safer to carry one. The price is 3 silver coins.”

For an instant, I thought 3 silver coins are expensive for a map.

But in this world there is no printing technique, everything is handwritten.

It is a consenting price, if I think about it.

However, even if I have the AK47, it’s dangerous to get lost inside the forest. I may run out of ammoThe bullets may be used up and there are concerns about food.

I will buy it according to the advice.

“Then since you have become level 2 please return after exterminating at least 2 or more carnivorous garugaru. The quests time frame is indefinitely.”

I received the tag where the level 2 quest was carved into the back and recalled something in my mind.

I tell my thanks the reception lady and leave the adventurer guild.

Without delay I will buy the map and antidote fruit, then head towards the adventurer guild supported tool shop.
