Chapter 8 (1/2)

“Hey, what do you mean, Zelet!”

Pamela screams and approaches me.

“Why do you refuse! Zelet-san, you registered with the guild to become a food provider, right?”

As it is important, Olivia asks a little forcefully.

“I never imagined you’d be timid.”

With his hand on his chin, the guild master looks at me in a meaningful way.

Hearing those words, I countered them.

“That’s not the case. My purpose is to defeat S-rank monsters. I heard that you can hunt in a cooking guild. But you asked me to deal with an A-rank monster, I have no interest in dealing with small fries, so no.”

“Well, A-rank is just a small fish …”

“Ah, you’re reliable, but I’m weak and the client wants it as soon as possible… can you do it Zelet-kun?.”

Guild Master sighs.

Expectations were high for the newcomer’s spectacular debut.

The air inside the cooking guild building covered with Gubagara trees cooled down all at once.

“If it’s about A rank, there will be others if you look for them, even if it’s not me. I’m only interested in S rank. I’m not interested in anything other than those guys. In the first place, the request fee is small for A rank monsters. It can’t even cover my equipment fee, it’s a big loss for me. “

I stare at the request form.

“Is it 600,000 gras? Not bad for A rank monster.”

It’s a lot more reasonable than the Hunter Guild, but it’s still too cheap for me to move. The equipment fee, including consumables, will be about 10,000 gras.

For the common people, 600,000 gras may be a lot of money, but for me as an S-class hunter, it’s not a lot of money. With this money, you have to live until you see a monster that you don’t know when it will appear next time.

Weapon maintenance in the meantime can be really costly.

However, when it comes to S-rank monsters, the price nearly doubles.

The cost of consumables will increase accordingly, but the margin will increase, and you will be able to experience the thrill that you cannot experience with small fish.

As a hunter, that is definitely more advantageous.

If I can’t defeat the S-rank monsters, there’s no use being here.

Let’s go home and shampoo Rir.

“Wait, Zelet-san”

Olivia calls out to me as I try to return.

Then, the guild master showed me the request form again.

“Look at the request fee properly, Zelet-kun.”

He laughs.

Huh? No matter how many times I check it, the request fee will not increase. What more should I check?

“Wow! Master, this request fee is amazing. There are six zeros.”

My disciple who looked at the request fee instead of me makes a noise.

“What are you talking about, Prim. In the first place, more than the number of fingers —?”

Hmm?

I push Prim away and stare at the request again.
