Chapter 6 (1/2)

Ch. 6: The Dark Side of the Heart Family

(TL Note: The title translated like that, thanks for the confusion Author-san)

I returned by foot to the Royal Capital Seyfat. To exchange the monsters that I defeated for the reward, I went to visit the Exchange Facility.

It’s a place crowded with a lot of unrefined warriors. Sometimes, you can also hear violent language. Also, there are often disputes in front of the reception about bargaining the reward.

It’s going to be troublesome if I get involved with those guys. I shrug and line up in the rows.

A man with a good physique in front of me looked at me and turned up his nose at me. It seems like he thought that based from my appearance, I was the one who did the ‘miscellaneous tasks’ in my party.

That is kinda convenient for me right now.

If I were to show up with a large amount of monster parts, everyone will think [Ah, are you the underling in your party?], so I won’t draw strange suspicions. This time, I brought 38 goblin ears, so it won’t be so surprising.

[Next, please]

Oops, it’s my turn. I put my sack on the counter. Since it’s only a small bag, the goblin ears burst out from the bag.

[I’ll checking it first… Oh dear, you sure hunted a lot. Did you go hunting with a big party?]

[Eeh, yeah, yes I did. We worked hard, combining our efforts. Everyone was in such high-spirits… I think]

I desperately talked about the imaginary party in my head, since the party itself didn’t exist, I can only imagine an party of air. Then, Greed talks in my mind.

[I can’t hold myself back from laughing]

[Shut up]

Oh crap. The reception person is unable to hear Greed’s voice, so he is looking at me perplexed. It’s because I was suddenly said [Shut up] during our conversation. I intended it for Greed, but the reception must be thinking it’s for him.

[I’m sorry. It’s nothing.]

I force a smile and laugh, somehow managing to get away from it. I think.

I feel relieved when I exited from the Exchange Facility. In the conversation with the receptionist, I was told that people normally hunted the same monster to a maximum of ten per day. When I asked for the reason, he explained that if you kept hunting the same kind of monster, a grudge called Hate would make the monster aggressively target you.

Now that I think about it, when I was hunting the goblins earlier, in the latter half, I was being attacked like I was their parent’s murderer……I see.

From now on, when I exchange for rewards, it would be better restrain myself to 10 monsters to exchange like the other warriors do. Let’s give up on more than that. Every time, if I bring in a large amount of monster parts, everyone would think that it’s strange. Although it’s not a big deal, but let’s slow down my pace.

I peek the inside of the bag, it contains 3 silver coins and 80 copper coins.

When I saved money for five years in hardship――I could only gain 2 silver coins.

Now, I have exceed that in just half a day.

[What I have done those five years…]

The closer I get to a decent life, the more I’m forced to realise just how much of a terrible, warped world I had lived in until now.

While I was thinking about it, my anger of Rafal’s group grows stronger. They said I was trash. Therefore, I am not allowed to be angry……so they said.

Guuuu….

As the thoughts of Rafal and co. filled on my head, my stomach which should be satisfied until now by the overly-filling goblins, begins to growl. As if it’s was saying “I want to eat them, I want to eat them!

It’s still too early. Moreover, there is Roxy too.

That is not my problem anymore.

Well, what should I do with this money? Oh yeah!

I see my clothes covered with patches, so I know where my money should go.

===========

[Anyone can look good in good clothes, I see]

[Shut up]

My dirty appearance has turned clean now. I used two silver coins in the clothes shop and bought well-tailored clothes.

And also, I spent 50 copper coins to buy a sheath for the black sword Greed. Plus 10 more copper coins to wash off Greed’s oil and dirt too.

With this, even if I go to the area where the Holy Knights live, I won’t give off a bad impression to the guards.

If you saw me from any angle, I’m just a normal person.

I went to the entrance of Holy Knight area in high spirits.

The Holy Knight area is different from the other areas. The surrounding is bordered with high walls, kinda like it’s guarding another castle inside it.

When I the guard of my name, I passed through the inside. It seems Roxy had arranged it beforehand.

I’m not sure about it, but it seems that I need the person herself to confirm it. Therefore, I am being flanked by two soldiers. It’s kinda like I did a bad thing and am being escorted away.

I was being guided to the mansion, as expected from the one of five great noble families in this Royal Capital.

I can’t believe my eyes as i approach the mansion. Even a idiot would think that it’s too big.
