CHAPTER 4 – GREAT nobLE’S ELF HUNT ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ (PART 1)

Getting through the sluots and flies appear, Junpei reached the part of the town that the receptionist lady told

The huuildーーthe Thousand Hands Society alias the underground guild, has its branch erected in the area which was a little far away fros which are aligned in around this area are fancy stores and restaurants ed by rich merchants

It is the underground guild which has an i for ray zone, but whereabouts of the branch here in this citadel of Manakis is in a first class district

The reason is very si needed to be mentioned but, compensation is needed for dark and ill desires The client would promise a hefty reward for that

ーーin short, money is needed

Within the back alley where three floored and four floored buildings are aligned, there was a chic wooden building with brown and black color as a base releasing a distinct, unique atuild, it would even feel high class

Gokuri, Junpei sed, then opened the door

「I see……it’s double door huh」

When he opened the first door, it was a narrow, long room the size of a 6-tatami room And ahead of that, there was another door

Beside the second door, there was a white-hairedbutler clothes on standby

The man smiled kindly towards Junpei

「Welcome, customer……is what I would have like to say, but this is not a place a boy would coht away……」

“Hmph”, Junpei made a pleasant smile

「I would also prefer that, but reat you know It’s just that, this is the only place left that I can rely on」

“H, the butler made an indescribable troubled face

「Knohat kind of place this is, and still could not help to visit……you say It seeh you are young Well, if you insist then……please pass through」

Nodding lightly, Junpei passed through the side of the butler and opened the door

And when he entered the room, he rolled his eyes and made a smile

「With a glance……the outside appearance looked decent so……I orried hoould it be, but…… with a , I’m relieved」

The lobby that has the size of about a 30-tataoraーーit is a variant, so it is currently unregulatedーーwhich actually fills the room

And that se room that could be seen at the corner

As a proof for that, the dangerous looking guys whose eyes has “gone” and high, were cheerfully drinking alcohol and had cigarettes in their mouth

Not lanced at the papers posted at the aligned white board inside the room

Butchering Aniotiable)

Transportation・Sales of Mandragora for Alcheotiable)

Slave Hunting and Manageotiable)

Each one of them, it was clearly far away from the estiuild

Or rather, each of them has exceptional rewards

Negotiableanimalnot good like……taking care of human corpses

“No, ht be forced to ood for nothing reasons, and ht even have to butcher it

“Anyways, they aren’t going to be good……”, while thinking of that, Junpei walked towards the counter in the back

「……on what business did you co……I am very sorry but, can I ask you to leave?」

It is unknown if it’s natural hair or dyed hair, the white-hairedーーno, silver-haired It was a thin, pale-skinned girl having a red colored left eye and wearing an eyepatch on the right eye

She’s probably in her late teens, and it would seem like she has quite the hobby very like “that”, and her a skull and rose tattoo around her right neck was very impressive

「I want to work……no, more specifically, I want an identification card」

“Fuu〜”, letting out a sigh, the receptionist see, then opened her lips which were colored by a violet rouge

「……the branches of the organization called underground guild exceeds a hundred in the whole worldーーand istered there……they had stopped being hu bastards…… do you understand those circumstances?」

「Yeah, well, it seems so」

「……and, us……the Thousand Hands Society would really only guarantee the least ht now, it would only be the proof of address, but……even so, there is a limit to the capacity」

And there, Junpei interrupted

「I so used ht? It is because it is convenient for rich people and those who are in powers, that this gray zone could continue to exist However……」

The eye patch silver haired girl smiled impressed

「……that is exactly it It istered in the Thousand Hands Society……it would be troublesome if they were too unruly For the exalted personalities, they would be no s If one would becoed……it would be immediately destroyed」

Making a serious face, Junpei asked

「That is why, there are many shackles There are also a lot of restrictions to the various kinds of rights given to you, and there are also rules, right……? And……abouta proof of identity, ould happen?」

「……normally, you would need to wait for days to months until there is a free spot, but you are lucky Just earlier, a corpse of a member of the Thousand Hands Society has been delivered」

「A corpse delivered……? You ?」

Kokuri, the eye patch girl nodded

「……the cause of death is, an incident during the ement of slave workers in a farm」

「What do you mean?」

「Management of slave workers……it is a work that……even if forced, and even if so as the quota is reached……it is that kind of job」

「……and then?」

「In short, he has been killed by a slave worker who conspired……it is so like that It seems like he had pushed them so much that he has been hated so much as well, so when he was carried into the Thousand Hands Society, he was like a meat chunk」

Hearing up to that, Junpei placed a hand on his chin, and made a sullen face

「…………」

To Junpei who had become quiet, the silver haired receptionist asked casually

「……all of the work that is er risks……did you become afraid?」

Without answering to that question, Junpei tilted his head

「Rather than it, being dangerous, about that job……that person who accepted, he’s a discarded pawn in the first place, I ive the slaves so like a russian roulette, waiting for soet the short end of the stick」

In the eyes whose other eye broitched, there were the colors of surprise mixed in

「……why do you think so?」

「Sacrificial pieces like us, after all, should be used as a sacrifice The hefty rewards probably also include that With just soh price, it’s just like……you’re saying so’s fishy If you calculate back froine」

Ignoring the girl who had shut up, Junpei took out a cloth back from his pocket

「Even if I’ht? And so, how istration fee?」

After thinking about soained herself composure, and opened her mouth

「……it would be 1 gold coin There would be no less」
