V2C36 (2/2)

As I was thinking,

“Wait a moment.”

The man said and took out a dagger from a drawer at the back of the guild.

“It’s a kumakiri knife. I’ll lend you this so use it … if you take an interest in it, you can purchase it from the neighbouring weapon shop. The old man would be happy.” (TL: Kumakiri = literally bear cutter.)

” … Thank you, that will help.”

I’ve had plenty of bad impressions of the Adventurers Guild but there are good people as well huh.

While thinking that, I left the Adventurers guild and doubled back to the back door from the outside.

Seriously, even though there are kind people in the Adventurers Guild as well. (TL: He’s implying that there are still bad people in the guilds, you’ll know what he meant by the end of the chapter)

I took out the brown bears from my item bag and began dismantling them.

Haru dismantled the wolves.

Of course, I set Haru and my jobs as Hunters.

During our idle conversation as we were dismantling, I found out that it is not taboo for the white wolf tribe to hunt wolves so they apparently don’t have a sense of community with wolves. I thought that it was a misstep to let Haru kill the wolves but looks like it’s fine.

Dismantling a bear took 20 minutes each. Thus, it took 3 hours to finish dismantling all 9 bears.

Haru could dismantle the wolves in half the time but she also took quite some time.

Even so, the 「Dismantling」 skill sure is amazing. If we dismantled them normally, it would have taken a multitude of the time we spent.

Dismantling II 【Hunter Lv15]

Allows one to know the dismantling procedure like the back of their hand.

Dismantling technique, muscle strength, speed, and finesse are significantly increased.

Thanks to this skill, we could do our work quickly, carefully and splendidly.

During that time, my Hunter level also raised by 3.

It’s now Lv29. I wonder what skill I’ll acquire when it becomes Lv30.

Well, dismantling 9 bears gave me growth similar to dismantling 3600 bears so I guess it would level me up to this extent.

To be frank, dismantling 1 bear is more tiring than defeating 1.

“Okay, we’re done dismantling them so shall we bring them away?”

The moment I said that.

5 men approached us.

“As I thought, they’ve finished dismantling, big brother.”

“That’s true, this is lucky. Hey, kids, I won’t say anything bad so will you hand over those bears to us?”

“Come on~ It’s fine if you just hand them over in good faith. You don’t want to experience pain right?”

“We’ll give you the bear meat as thanks.”

“It’s important to have a spirit of volunteerism.”

Stealing a person’s quarry in broad daylight?

Most likely they overheard our conversation in the guild.

“Won’t you become Thieves if you do so?”

“Hah, people become Thieves when they steal other people’s things or when they pursue those with serious injuries. What we’re doing is barely out of the scope of stealing you know?”

The man proudly boasts about something he shouldn’t be proud of.

… What are they talking about? Are these guys … idiots?

~~ Side StoryHappening at the same time. The real idiots? ~~

The highway that connects Florence and Belasra has a mountain road along the way but it is still a single straight road.

Of course, there are forest roads for the sake of Lumberjacks carrying lumber and animal trails naturally formed by animals pushing through the forest but they can’t be mistaken for the highway.

People will definitely never get lost, one shouldn’t be able to get lost, if there are people who will get lost, then they will definitely be …

“Oh man, Belasra sure is far, Elise.”

“Belasra sure is far, Jofre.”

Within the forest without even an animal trail, not to mention the highway, Jofre and Elise were advancing.

In other words, they were completely lost.

The 2 of them who lived in Florence for a long time understood that they were amateurs in travelling.

Which is why they relied on someone.

Someone who look like they are a professional in journeying.

“Well, Centaur looks like he is saying that it should be around here so it shouldn’t be wrong.”

“They’ve said that Centaur has been to Belasra countless times right.”

Centaur … the donkey that the 2 of them purchased, most likely did not imagine that he would be relied upon to such an extent. He was merely aiming for the places where there are things that he wishes to eat. Through the undeveloped lands where people have never stepped foot in, he was pioneering … no, merely grazing as he advanced. (TL: Lol >.< I can’t stop laughing. Which is worse, getting lost on a straight road, naming the donkey centaur or relying on a donkey for directions)

It is still a long way ahead before the 2 of them arrive at Belasra.
