Vol 1 Chapter 1 (2/2)
“” Welcooome “”
Hearing Claude’s voice frohtened the room
The dining roo their exchange and what happened immediately after
Meanwhile, having left the branch office, Ilya headed towards the south gate
There was a soldier on guard watching the gate, but loosened his expression when he saas Ilya
“Oh, Ilya-chan Are you heading out?”
“Yes For a little stroll”
“Take care”
“Thank you very much”
Then, detouring a little frole to the southwest
Even if she went to investigate, she wouldn’t set foot inside the jungle Whether it be Ilya’s past life or current, insects were her weak point She couldn’t enter jungles, they had many insects
“I wonder if this place is fine?”
Confirns of anyone nearby, she activated her unique skill [Clairvoyance]
However, it had been a long ti a e quantity of insects
“Gyaaaaaaaaah!”
Without holding back, she screa she came to her senses and was harassed by chills
(… Uuu… gross… But… the results were good)
She then went back to the branch office, clinging to Ria for a while to soothe her emotions
“Tyrant Spider…”
Hector, co to receive the estimate, heard that name from Ilya in the reception office and was speechless
The Tyrant Spider was a huge monster spider with the head of an adult human male
It’s mouth could s a person whole and its exoskeleton couldn’t be das could crush iron and its talons had a paralyzing poison, preferring to s its prey living
Its legs were agile and had high ju power, could move quickly, and its threads couldn’t be burned even by low rank ic
The name ‘Tyrant’ wasn’t just for decoration, it was a de the bosses Ilya ree of risk was at the top
(The other dele and ran away then?)
This was the reason why the Rondébear appeared along the west road
Frank was also there, wearing a bitter expression
“Then, Ilya You believe that le?”
“Yes If you get more information from Willville to the west and Ahrew Fort farther southwest than the jungle, I believe ill have more conclusive evidence”
By Ilya’s conjecture, the ale would increase
“Frank As the branch er, I want to hear your opinion”
“The Tyrant Spider is a disaster designated de large scale participation frouild headquarters”
“How long would it take?”
Hector looked towards Ilya
To prepare the request, it would take a day using uild headquarters to become aware of it But for the request to be passed froather the personnel Moreover, since theto Lunéville was limited…
“Ten days until the departure As for the reward, an equal split of twenty ils?”
“Just ten days to get theether?”
“Twenty million?”
Hector’s and Frank’s questions to Ilya were about separate things
“In the first place, ten days doesn’t leave any extra ti will be here to take action”
In many ways Of course, those words were muttered inwardly
“Twenty million is the basic reward If you claim retrieved raw materials as additional rewards, there won’t be able complaints”
Every top ranked guild member thirsted more for materials than money
Then, rather than adding a monetary reward for claiht to catch their interest
“Moreover, cohts as well Hector-san, please ements”
“Threaten headquarters and the country huh?”
Hector smiled wryly
“Surely not”
As if it was aface
She had nothing but good intentions
Towards headquarters, it had the hidden : “You can obtain twenty million and rare materials However, the country will take it if you aren’t quick!”
Towards the country, it had the hiddentwenty uild, the salary and food for fifty knights for a uild takes the initiative!”
(You know, good intentions)
Once again thinking it over, Ilya nodded in her heart
“Though there certainly isn’t any time to spare, isn’t that a little rushed?”
“But aren’t spiders yucky?”
“” … “”
Since she was answering seriously, they were even more amazed
Though they weren’t fully satisfied with a few things, Ilya judged there were no rejections and estion
“For this coht for me to put my name on the commission label?”
“I don’t mind but…”
“Could I ask why?”
Naturally, it was unnatural for a guild branch’s reception to sub that the tere doubtful, Ilya put on a seous
“Insurance!”
Ten days later, it was the appointed date
Only five people gathered
However, when Frank showed them in to the reception office, Hector was not disappointed However, he was confused and his head couldn’t keep up
“Ilya Ilya I-ly-aaa~!”
“That hurts, Lula”
The one who had just eainst her was Lula, a dark elf with brown skin and long ears
Though elves and dark elves were primarily on bad terms with each other, Lula had co she liked her, saying love irl
However, Lula was one of the two people that could use ancient e], but noas [Master Mage] It appeared that Lula didn’t neglect putting effort into her studies
While feeling relieved by that, Ilya pat her head and Lula closed her eyes in happiness
The boy watching the scene muttered
“Envious…”
“Chriiiiis~?”
“Hiii-! I was kidding! So lower that fist!”
“Selena Surely, this time I also want to flirt with Selena~”
“Eh? Eeeh~!?”
“Stup-, what are you saying, Eric!?”
Repeating that kind of a couild [Stars of the Eternal Night] Chris the swordshter, and Eric the summoner These three were also Ilya’s acquaintances
Ilya met them when she roamed various countries in a chain of islands to the east During their journey they defeated devils, as well as defeating an arch devil duke Though they weren’t even twenty years old, they had stupidly large ability She was relieved they continued their lively journey
“Ilya-sama Make me your pupil-”
“No”
“But…”
The young elf that crumpled foras named York
Though Ilya took a cold attitude towards elves, he respected her and didn’t mind it
More than that, he glared at Lula clinging to Ilya
“Lula, you bitch…! Don’t touch Ilya with your standing of a dark elf!”
“Umm… who are you?”
While clinging to her, Lulu looked down on York With a cramp on his handsome face, he turned his face away from her
“S-settle down Undine It’s too early to make an example out of you”
“A… that spirit…”
Feeling power overflowing fro man next to her, Selena let out a surprised voice
Then, by Ilya’s chest, Lulu stared at York with scornful eyes while knitting her eyebrows
“Undine… elf… ah! You’re York!? That stupid elf that contracted the great spirit of the elf fountain!”
“Watch what you say, dark elf It would be easy for me to turn you into an icicle at any moment”
“Hah Before that I’d crush you flat!”
(Ah… these people just won’t grow up)
Letting out a sigh, she tore Lula away from her body
“You two, please stop it”
“Oka~y”
“Yeah”
With the place beco quiet, Ilya turned towards Hector
“I am sorry It seems that the limitations were a little too severe…”
“No, it’s fine Quality is better than quantity for this”
Towards Hector’s words, Ilya nodded in her heart
The ave the staht]’s capabilities Deciphering ancient uild creating reat spirit, Undine, whose strength was said to be like a water dragon’s, York the genius
If it’s theseof a devil
“Hector-saht to stop the dispatch of knights? If you inform them of these members, there shouldn’t be any problems”
“Ah, yeah That is, I already stopped the knights’ dispatch”
“Eh?”
Soothing Ilya that had knit her brows, Frank spoke
“Don’t be angry There was a directive fro the dispatch was unnecessary”
“Ah, probably because of us”
Chris, whose cheek had swollen, spoke up
“We told ”
“I see…”
The guild association knew the people participating so they closed recruitment early That’s why there were this few people
“Huh? If that’s the case then hoere Lula and them able to receive the request? Wasn’t recruitment withdrawn immediately?”
“Of course, I got the co Ilya’s name”
“I gave a strict order to the uild’s staff to report it to me as soon as they found a commission from Ilya-sama”
Ilya was a little frightened by the two’s obsession
(Though it was insurance… let’s not do that from now on)
Feeling a danger to her body, she decided that
At any rate, there was no proble the commission Ilya showed the to explain the content of the commission
“These are the important parts We will appraise the quality ofback, please sincerely keep that point in mind”
“”” Oka~y “””
They even brought charcoal, she was embarrassed
“Please don’t disturb the ecosystem… Good luck”
Ilya saw the five off, looking towards the jungle in the distance
Spider Rest in peace
Praying to not be reminded of its appearance, Ilya had a rather calm expression on
If you were to describe the conclusion, it was a landslide victory for the five
York sealed the spider’sit’s joints with a spread of Ice Rocks, while Lula destroyed its exoskeleton by dropping a meteor on it from above with Strike Nova
Finishi+ng it off, Chris’ Transcendent Sword Saint Strike
Pathetically, the spider was defeated in an instant
After that, it ithout saying that Ilya received the spirited approaches from everyone as they returned All of the five people wished to live together with Ilya
However, she didn’t accept their wishes
“Ilya, is it alright?”
She was asked by her colleague Ria, who saw everything from start to finish She responded with a clear expression
“Because I love this town, and everyone in it”
This is good for now
It’s up to fate to see if our paths will cross again
Ilya deterain that until that time came, she would continue to take life slow and live happily
