Chapter 141: Chris, 14 Years Old “Shishigi hunting! (1) “ (2/2)

When we received the quest order, we returned to the headquarters for preparation. Hatter bowed his head over and over again seeing us off.
“Thank you, thank you! I will never forget this kindness!”
“No, I haven’t succeeded yet. So, I’ll hurry up and head for the ‘Shishigi’ hunt.”
“Yes! Thank you!”
Chris and I started walking toward the headquarters. Hatter kept bowing until we disappeared.
After returning to the headquarters, Chris and I had a meeting about preparations.
“I’m glad the forest is within a day by carriage from here.”
Shishigi did not have a nest. It seemed to be moving in the forest of the beast-man continent. This time I was lucky enough that there was sighting information in a nearby forest. If we missed this, we would have to search for prey from scratch again.
“Let’s borrow the Knight’s carriage. We’ll finish the equipment and food arrangements today and leave tomorrow morning, but is Chris okay?”
[It’s okay.]
“I’m glad I don’t have a lot of work this week. It’s going to be a quest without any hindrance to my work.”
[But don’t you have office work?]
“It’s okay, I’ll ask Advisor Garma for office work.”
He had various loans for the Magician Killer case. He must bear this much work burden.
[Even if it is work, I’m glad to be able to go on a horse-drawn carriage trip alone with Onii-chan.]
Chris shyly dyed her ears red and insisted while hiding her mouth with the mini blackboard.
[Can you spoil me during the trip?]
“Of course! Rather, it’s okay to spoil you right now, not just during the trip. How about in bed tonight?”
[Onii-chan is naughty…]
But she continued.
[……please.]
“All right, I’m in charge!”
Chris wrote the letters of consent on the mini-blackboard, shy enough to rise smoke from her head.
We would leave early in the morning, so it’s not good to do too much, but I was wondering if I can control my reason.
“Wait a minute.”
While we walked flirting, several men stood in front of us. The man who seemed to be the leader stepped forward.
He was about two meters tall. He had a beard and chest hair. There was a scar on the cheek that seemed to be a demon’s claw.
If I met him during the trip, I would think he was a bandit or a thief and would give the firing order.
The man cut out.
“I’m from the Pawk race. Adventurer, Level IV. You guys are Peacemakers, aren’t you?” [TN Don’t get the race right パウック]
“… Yes, but what is it?”
Pawk put out a tag, telling the adventurer level. I was cautious and took a standing position protecting Chris. I relaxed my right arm so that I could always get out the revolver hanging from my waist.
“You just received a “Shishigi Hunting” quest from the Adventurer’s Guild, didn’t you? If you get a Shishigi, why don’t you sell it to me? I’ll double the reward.”
Rainy day negotiations.
“Well, do you have any relatives or relatives who have ‘Shishigi disease’ in Pawk-san?”
“No, it’s that unlucky guy who gets thunder in the clear sky with ‘Shishigi’s disease’. But the fresh meat that is effective for ‘Shishigi’s disease’ seems to be so delicious that it’s hard to believe it’s of this world. It’s being traded. If you handle it with a route I know, it will easily exceed the reward. How is it, can you surely catch the Shishigi?
Stupid guys … talking about money when people’s lives were at stake. It seemed foolish to deal with it.
“I’m sorry, but I received a request from Hatter first.”
“No, no, failure to make a request is a daily occurrence for adventurers, isn’t it? “
“The name of the peacemaker will not be damaged.”
There was no common ground, so I refused it. The other person distorted his expression.
“You will regret it …”
It changed from the kind and friendly attitude that I mentioned earlier to something that had a violent atmosphere.
But that’s just their death flag.
When Pawk spitted, they turned their backs and disappeared into the crowd.
This one was getting a little burnt.
