Chapter 31 (2/2)

「Uun, honestly, this sword was from a merchant that came from the east, it’s something I procured because it’s an unusual weapon. It’s a little expensive ya know? Let me see, including the discount from your card, it’ll be 35000 Goualch.」

Saying 35000, isn’t that 3 gold and 50 silvers!

「uu, no matter how much I try right now, I can’t buy it…」3

「Maa, it’s a little bit too expensive for a novice adventurer na. With an objective, you’ll have fighting spirit, isn’t that right? Maa, you just need to do your best to earn money.」

「Saying such a carefree thing, what will I do if it gets sold?」

「Even if you say that, unless you can pay, you can’t buy, don’t you think? I’m not telling you be relieved but, I won’t sell it to a fella who doesn’t have the intention to use it yo. Even if they have the intention to use it, I won’t sell it either if the fella can’t handle it. That’s the rule of this store.」4

In other words, unless a person who can handle the katana purchases it, it’ll remain unsold.

「I understand! I’ll do my best to earn money! Ah, for today I’ll buy this and, this knife. How much are they?」

It was one of the knives lined up when I first came to the store, I chose it for combat use and to strip off raw materials.

「All together it’s 1500 Goualch, it’ll be 15 silvers.」

「Here you go… Well then, once I’ve gathered enough money, I’ll come back again.」

Receiving the knife in exchange for the payment, I leave the store.

Ahh, if I hadn’t found out about it then I wouldn’t have desired it…5

Having left Garum-san’s store, I immediately turn back to the Adventurers’ Guild.

When I arrived at the guild, I immediately head towards the receptionist lady’s area as usual.

「Onee-san, what’s the best thing to do to properly earn money efficiently in a short time?」

Although the receptionist lady was surprised at my question, she still answered.

「Eh? Etto, is that so, it depends on the amount of money but… As expected, accepting subjugation commissions is the fastest, is what I think. Other than that, escort commissions have many high rewards. However, subjugation commissions and escort commissions are D ranked, because of that, Fujino-sama cannot accept them. Therefore firstly, it’s essential that you increase your adventurer’s rank.」

Haa…, as expected, there doesn’t seem to be a quick way to earn money.

To start off with, my maximum priority is to become an E rank ne.

I say my thanks and leave the guild, then return to the inn.

I decide to do my best with the commissions from tomorrow onwards…
