“M…my name is Aena”

“That’s enough with your self-introduction”

Artpe stopped his face froirlHe brushed aside her words

“I want you to tell ive meKeep it short”

It was said from the olden times that it was crucial to clear a Quest as soon as possible!He just needed to know the content of the Quest and the rewardHe didn’t care about minor details like her situation

“Heek”

“Artpe…”

The girl, who ca at Aena, turned to look at Artpe with dumbfounded expressions when they heard his wordsAena was barely able to open her mouth before Artpe’s expression could crumple

“I…in truth, the soldiers caoHe was captured by them, and he hasn’t been returned…”

“All rightWhat’s the reward?”

He even skipped the content of the Quest!If others heard his words, theydesire for obtaining a reward

However, Artpe’s expression was excessively harshIt wasn’t directed at the girl or the questHis anger seemed to be directed at someone else

“A r…reward… I don’t have anything I can give you……”

The girl looked like she was about to cryOf course, Artpe knew this even before he heard her wordsThe girl wore very threadbare clothes, and when he checked with his Read All Creation ability, she didn’t possess any ite on her body

Despite this fact, Artpe continued to interrogate her

“What?You don’t even have a single bronze coin?”

“I do have a bronze coin, but that isn’t enough…”

Aena’s eyes started to fill with tearsHowever, Artpe ruthlessly pushed his hand out towards her

“Give it to me”

“······what?”

“I want you to take out the bronze coin”

Aena’s expression indicated that she had no idea as going on, but she took out a bronze coin

She possessed a very dirty bronze coinIt held very little value to Artpe that he wanted to snort, but it was a very precious and large suirl The money was very important to her

“H…here……”

Aena thought she had co ripped off in her tie amount of tears as she placed the bronze coin on top of Artpe’s handMaetel was very angry as she watched as going onShe had to scold Artpe!She had to scold him a lot!Artpe that makes a child cry was a bad Artpe!

“Artpe!”

“Be quiet, MaetelI’s interrupt that process

“Y…yes”

However, Artpe replied as if he had predicted Maetel would becoryShe immediately shut her mouthShe was overwhelmed by Artpe’s attitudeShe had no idea what ry froht now…He also looked a little bit cool

“Hoo-ooh······”

After he quieted Maetel, he firirlHe put the coin away, and after he blinked once, he stood up

Then he spoke clearly towards the girl

“All rightI’ve accepted your Quest rewardYour payment in advance was 100, and your balance is 0I will undertake the Quest starting now”

This was the very first Quest he had accepted in his lifetime

“What?”

“Our account is all settled now, so we are going to go find your dongsaeng”

“Yes······?”

Aena blinked her eyes as if she couldn’t believe what she had just heardHowever, Artpe didn’t hesitateHe put on his robe

In truth, he was very sleepy, so he wanted to lie downHowever, he could always sleep laterHe felt restless right nowIt felt as if he wouldn’t be able to take it if he didn’t ht nowThis hy he prodded Aena into action in annoyance

“Why are you standing there doing nothing? I’ve received the reward, so I’ to do the QuestAre you deaf?”

“Ah, noBut…!”

“I’ nowI’ll somehow find a way to track him down, and I’ll return him to your sideAre you sure you want to set this as the condition that will complete the Quest?”

“······ahAh Ah”

The girl finally understood as going onUntil ato steal her saeng in return for that coin!

Even after thinking over it, the situation didn’tHowever, Artpe was looking at her with sincere eyes, so she couldn’t ask hi to her

This hy she decided to trust Artpe

“T…thank you very much!I…I don’t kno I should express my thanks…”

“You can thanksafely to your sideI hope I’m not too late, but……”

Artpe grinded his teeth as he took in the sight of the girl againHe activated his Read All Creation ability, and her status was revealed to him

[Aena]

[Level : 1]

[Curse : The process changing into low Class Magic Type Foreign Species 1]

[Drank water containing Cursed Mana four days ago]

‘Which son of a bitch did this…’

Could a person be turned into a monster?The correct ansas yesIt was easy for corpses in places with negative Mana to cohoulsThen there were voluntary ht or a Lich

Ast the Curses, there were a decent amount that turned a subject into a monsterCurrently, a curse that turned a person into a monster was placed on herThis was thea human’s free will

He had expressed this sentiment before, but this was the type of nonsense he hated the most

The sound of his teeth grinding could be heard

“As expected, Artpe is kindYou always told me ‘A person should always be precise in one’s calculations!”

“NopeMy calculations were precise, right?”

“PiLiarArtpe is just embarrassed”

Artpe s bullshi+t towards Maetel

“Listen well, MaetelThe value of an item is relativeBasically, if I think my calculation is correct, then it is correct”

This hy the Quest Reas i orth a lot, it wouldn’t be worthhe neededThe balance in his calculation would be skewedIt was , but it was an absolute rule he followed

“So what about you, Maetel?”

Artpe tapped his chestIt was the pocket where he put away the bronze coin

“Is 1 Bronze enough for you as a Quest Reward?”

Maetel looked into Artpe’s rage-filled eyesShe wondered why he was so angryShe thoughtreason if she carried out Aena’s request with him

She alanted a deeper understanding of ArtpeShe was sure this request would oal

If she was able to do so, that was a reward in itself

“·····YesIt is h”

“All rightWe’ll carry out the Quest at the same time”
