Chapter 50 (1/2)

Ch 50 -- The Awesome Adventurers Guild

It was agreed we would accompany the merchant Lambert-san to his home town of Carerina. It would take two days to get there according to him.

Lambert-san was sitting on the front bench of the wagon driving the horses with Rashu, the leader of 'Phoenix' beside him. A member of 'Phoenix' was escorting the wagon on each side.

All eight surviving bandits were tied by a rope in two rows to the back of the wagon, walking behind it. A member of 'Phoenix' was walking on each side of them to keep an eye on them. We were following behind the two lines of bandits.

Of course, I was riding on Fer's back and Sui was in her usual place in her bag.

It appeared these bandits were going to to be handed over to the Knights of the town of Carerina.

The chief bandit was killed in the fight and it wouldn't have been a problem if the other bandits had been killed too when they had attacked Lambert-san and 'Phoenix'. However since there would be a reward, the thieves who survived were taken along to be handed over to the Knights.

They told me to accept the reward since the bandits were actually defeated by Fer and Sui. Mr. Lambert said that it was the correct thing to do since we had saved his life and the members of 'Phoenix' were not able to fulfill the responsibility of the escort mission properly.

I appreciate the reward money so I decided to gratefully accept it. It's a pain that we have to drag the bandits along with us like this though.

Incidentally all the members of 'Phoenix' were big strong-looking men like Rashu-san. Even though they're trying to whisper they're kinda loud since they're so big. I could hear what they were saying to each other.

”Leader said it's a Fenrir but is it really? The rumour I heard was that it's a Great Wolf.”

”I don't know but if Leader says it's a Fenrir, well...”

”Would such a legendary Demonic Beast become a contracted monster though?”

”To tell the truth it was Sandra-chan who told me it was a Great Wolf.”

”Sandra-chan? That's Sandra, the Guild employee you're sweet on?”
