Episode 2.11 (2/2)
”Eh? W-who knows. Forgot 'bout that ages ago.”
”Is that so. By the way, according to this Adventurer Badge, your rank up to silver rank took place 18 years ago, how old are you right now?”
”I-I'm...”
Just when her hands that were put on her knees started to tremble, Eda suddenly stood up.
”Dangittttttt!”
Just as Eda was trying to run away while screaming, Lecan grabbed her left hand. Because her right hand snatched the silver coins on the desk.
”Sit down, Eda-san. Misrepresenting someone else's Adventurer Badge as your own is a felony you know.”
”I-it's not someone else's. It's my dad's!”
”Trying to pass the adventurer badge as yours while you are not an adventurer yourself is a scam, a misrepresentation. In reality, you have not registered as one yet, have you? If I passed this info along, you would never be able to register. Adventurer associations everywhere, lords' houses and merchants everywhere are joined through vast networks of information, there's so much more info being passed around than you could ever imagine. Do not ever attempt to do this again. Understand?”
”...Ok ok I got it.”
”Well then, go back to your room now. I will pay for your lodging and meal until tomorrow morning.”

”T-thank ya.”
Eda reluctantly went back to her room while repeatedly looking back so many times.
Chaney bowed deeply to Lecan.
”Lecan-san. Allow me to express my gratitude once again. Thank you. This is your reward.”
He presented one gold coin.
”My rewards were supposed to be 10 silver coins. This is too much.”
”No. If the job was done superbly, or the client obtained an unexpected huge gain, or if the request itself was far more dangerous and difficult than expected yet was finished despite all that, the client could, by their own judgment, increase the rewards given. This is the right amount of rewards for you. I'm truly, truly grateful. And another thing, when the client is willing to pay more than the amount in the contract, it has the implication that the client wishes to keep in touch with the adventurer in the future.”
”Fumu. Well then, I shall accept it. I'd like to ask you one thing.”
”Yes. What would it be.”
”Please introduce me to a skilled apothecary.”
