Chapter 17: Result Report (1/2)

The faint morning sun spilled in from the louver windows and roused my eyes, I woke up.

“Uu……”

It was a bother to get up by myself, when I was in the orphanage somebody would come wake me up.

I took off my thin clothes, and changed them for clothes to go outside.

I wore the gunbelt that was lying on top of the table around my waist.

Taking the “S&W M10” in hand, I popped the cylinder out. I confirmed that it was fully loaded.

I also hung the adventurer tag left alongside it on my neck, and put on Snow’s engagement bracelet on my left arm.

I told the old man in charge of the inn that I will be staying for another day, and paid him 5 large copper coins.

The bar next door was of course still closed, so I once again bought a sandwich from a cart on the way.

Today’s sandwich was made of barley bread, with a cut of salmon-like fish and onion-like vegetables inside.

It cost me 3 copper coins.

I ate while walking in bad manners, and went towards the Adventurers’ Guild.

I arrived just as I had finished eating.

Despite being so early in the morning, there are already a large number of people gathered at the Adventurers’ Guild.

As I went inside, I was handed a wooden token from the information desk.

The number was “12”.

I was definitely earlier than yesterday.

It had not even been 10 minutes, the number “12” was called.

The person in charge was the kind demon race oneesan from yesterday.

“Good morning, Lute-san. What will your business be today?”

“I finished yesterday’s quest, and came here today looking for a new one.”

“Already? Then, let me see your tag please.”

I handed the tag hanging on my neck to the oneesan.

The oneesan received the tag, and confirmed it saying, “I’ll be taking care of it”.

“Umm, certainly yesterday’s quest is… you exterminated 1 garugaru more… fuee!?”

She made a sound much unlike a receptionist oneesan.

She seems to be surprised with my results.

She got strange looks from the other adventurers and coworkers, but remained in confusion without noticing them.

“Y, you hunted 31 all in one day yesterday!? That’s too amazing!”

“Is it really that amazing?”

I wanted to raise my level as fast as possible, but I don’t know how far garugaru hunting will go towards raising my adventurer level.

Because of that I did my best and kept on hunting, but is it that surprising?

“Of course it is! Listen here, in this Adventurers’ Guild, the record for the number of garugaru hunted in one day is 10. And at the time, the person was a B+ ranked magician.”

…… Well that would certainly be surprising. A child that’s not even a magician hunting 31 garugaru.

Oneesan continued her talk.

“The monsters are also not dumb, they would run away if they sense magic power. So even magicians can’t hunt this much.”

So that might be why I could hunt that many monsters.

Because the garugaru did not sense magic power, and was faced with a weapon they didn’t know of.

The oneesan narrowed her eyes in doubt.

“Did you have someone to help you by any chance?”

“No way, I did it by myself. It was because I had a good weapon.”
