Chapter 61 (2/2)

“Yeah, because I’m the guy that loves wyverns . No, I just want to test my newly acquired equipment . ”

Hearing this, Pinzoro held his chin and stared hard at what I was wearing .

“Ho ho . It suits you well . What’s it made of?”

“Wind dragon and ice dragon . ”

“Dragons, you say!?”

Hehe . Amazing, isn’t it? I folded my arms with a smug grin . Daniela smirked with a little embarra.s.sment, but why be modest when it was the truth? It was an important thing in my opinion .

“Ah, quite rare these dragon sets… No, wait . I do think that the prices on them had collapsed recently . ”

“Oh, something about a Hero taking down a stampede of dragons . Well, they were all young dragons, and it’s their materials that have flooded the market . ”

“Oh, something about a Hero taking down a stampede of dragons . Well, they were all young dragons, and it’s their materials that have flooded the market . ”

I wonder how much it would have cost if the materials were from adult dragons? The very idea makes me shudder .

“Even the young ones are guaranteed to offer great protection and performance . It is a worthy purchase in my opinion . ”

“Yeah… But I didn’t really expect to hunt a wyvern while trying to earn some money . ”

“But with this armor, you may just be able to kill the next one alone!”

Haha . As if . It’s a dragon set, but not from an adult . Trusting its capabilities too much might get me killed . And while I had experience now, I would not care to fight one again . If possible, I would try to avoid it .

“…Ah, look at the time . You better choose your quest soon, else you won’t be able to return today . ”

“d.a.m.n, we better hurry then . What are you doing, Pinzoro?”

“I’ll be taking this request to kill some gra.s.s wolves over here . ”

Gra.s.s wolves in the plains, eh? Well, that meant he was at least strong enough to take down a pack while going solo .

“Daniela, what do you think?”

“You have never fought against kobolds, have you?”

“Uh, true . ”

“Then you should experience it . ”

“That’s also true . ”

And so we chose the kobolds . I tore off the ‘Kobold extermination request’ note from the board .

Pinzoro tore off the one for the gra.s.s wolves next to us .

“Well, I’m off now . See you later, Asagi . ”

“Yeah, later . ”

He waved to us as he headed for the counter . I waved back .

He waved to us as he headed for the counter . I waved back .

“He’s a good guy . ”

“Aye . It reminds me, that this how you make connections and have them spread . Something I did not do when I traveled alone . ”

“Things will be different now . I won’t let you get bored when you’re with me . ”

I say as I turn to her . She nods and smiles .

“I am confident that I will not tire of being with you, Asagi . Day and night, you are going to bring me pleasure, right?”

How about saying stuff like that when no one else is around! My face turned quite red as I headed for the counter, which Pinzoro had already left .

“Do you wish to go on a quest?”

“Yes . This ‘Kobold extermination request,’ please . ”

“Very well . You will be working near the rocky area right outside of the eastern gate . Please give me your status cards . ”

I took my card out of my pocket and along with Daniela’s, placed them on the counter .

“Yes, thank you . Please wait a moment . … . Yes, the quest information has been registered . I am sure there is no danger with you two, but please be safe and good luck . ”

We thanked the guild worker who showed concern as a formality and left the guild behind us .

Now, the point of all this was really just to test my armor . That might be a little cruel to the poor kobolds, but, ‘survival of the fittest’ and all that . That was the way the world was . They would help build the foundation for my future .

Daniela and I crossed the main street and headed east . As we had come through the western gate, it was our first time seeing the eastern one . Past the gate was the same familiar plains spreading out, but apparently, there was a rocky area further on . The terrain her was kind of fantastic . I had never visited any rocky areas in j.a.pan . At most, I went to a dry river bed with some large rocks .

And this would be my first kobold fight . I needed to be prepared . It was exciting, but also made me a little nervous . I would just depend on Daniela if things get dangerous, I think almost eagerly, as we go out the eastern gate .
