Manuke FPS Chapter 15

When I returned to the city fortress Varga with Malta san, I went first to the guild reporting the completion of the request. About selling to Malta san the materials from the Dire Glass Wolf and the like, I’ll meet Malta san again at Marida’s branch company tomorrow so we separated. When I entered the general guild annex in the evening, It overflowed with adventurers settling today’s earnings there.

Naa lots of row, do I line up in a spot with short queue for the time being……? Though there are two or more counters at the reception desk, I wonder why there’s a difference in the rows lining up in the counters, I queued up in a random and long line too, there were counters where several people didn’t line up too.
My turn has turned while I was minding the next row, seems like the one in charge of this counter is a fast working person. When turning towards the next counter I look over there, there was sitting a cute beast woman receptionist.

As expected, speaking of guild receptionist and beauty, it’s the pretty faction receptionist woman! After surviving life and death requests and searches, it is necessary to heal the mind and eyes, thus by talking for a while, the raging mind is appeased by exchanging the life. (TL: what the author meant here is about surviving after risking its own life in a guild request and when coming back to the counter to be healed by the vision of a beautiful receptionist)

The queue next to me, the purpose of miss receptionist, I understand well that feeling, talking about one’s adventures to the lovely receptionist, getting her admiration, besides the request reward it seems that receiving this might be a hard to get reward, thus the reception here……

「Welcome, please come, I am receptionist Lesmond. Please show me your guild card and the written request.」

He was sitting there the other day, it was Lesmond san the small mustache old gentleman who appraised the goblin mage’s obi.

「Oh, was it Schwarz san? Welcome back.」

Lesmond san seems to have remembered me. The present me can be said to have an indescribable expression. Iya, this person never brings dissatisfaction, polite interaction, he has certain skill, he might be a splendid staff member.
But, however…… that sort of passion behind an expressionless outside, while Lesmond san checks my guild card and request, he operates the crystal pedestal with a stream like elegance handling.

「I returned just now, today to the reception desks.」

While seeing his splendid work, I want to praise my willpower for returning me to normal.

「Yes, because this period of time is very crowded, I also am sitting here helping.  The request is subjugation of Glass Wolf, subjugation proof please. 」

「Yes, 11 in all, and then I also hunted a Dire Glass Wolf, with the fang matching too?」

To Dire Glass Wolf’s name, I felt the edges of Lesmond san’s small mustache went up slightly, though I might have made a mistake. Lesmond san without breaking his gentle smile, the subjugation proofs are confirmed one by one, his movement stopped at the noticeably big fang of the Dire Glass Wolf.

「Yes, Diamond Glass Wolf is a similar fang. This is certainly a Dire Glass Wolf, as expected, Schwarz san. When encountering Dire Glass Wolf in the nature, it is in a herd without exception, however Schwarz san doesn’t seem to be injured by. As one would expect of a G rank who hunts goblin mage.」

「Ahah, I was able to simply aim at the small number of the herd by chance.」

「Fufu, Modesty…… I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, the completion of the request has been confirmed, thank you for your effort. Remuneration in accordance is 16,000 Oru with 16 silver coins, and 15 guild points. Dire Glass Wolf’s subjugation proof, 25,000 Oru with 25 silver coins, and 200 guild point. Furthermore 1,600 Oru are taken for the tax collection of the current year, I will return the guild card. 」

Checking the Guild Card, the Blood skill 「Arms」 made up yesterday evening wasn’t registered. From the start the blood skill wasn’t recorded, or that is so as I requested for it not to be recorded, or something like that. I received the reward, after parting with Lesmond san in the general guild I went towards the inn.

After eating diner at the inn I went to my room at once, I checked the CP consumed for today’s request.

「Even so, the consumption speed is fast, as it is I can hold one year or not……?」

Currently, how will I use CP without an aim of acquisition from now on? Investing it as if it grows on tree on ammunition replenishment and equipment purchase, though I saved a large amount of CP, I can’t be relieved.
Since by killing enemies crystal can’t be obtained, I should also consider there’s no alternative for it, regarding this world I am here as a foreign substance, there thinking over a good idea that had not come out, the only possibility is this magic stone……

During my return from today’s request, while touching the wind magic stone I harvested from the Dire Glass Wolf I encountered by chance, the screen monitor of TSS from the Gauntlet of the left arm was inactivated, I try to operate it like a tablet terminal.

「Resolutely no small firearms, there’s not a lot of melee weapon gathered left……? No, however an amateur may not understand the hair has grown with the level of technology, it’s unreasonable hunting such things as magic beast sub race.」

The answer doesn’t emerge from the problem, it’s useless no matter how much I touch the TSS. So I thought, when operating the TSS switched off, the wind magic stone touched by the right hand slips down from the fingers into the monitor screen of the TSS…… It went into.

『 ERROR！This crystal cannot be converted into points. 』
Cancel conversion? (Y/N)

「What?!　The magic stone is also a crystal?!」

I couldn’t take my eyes off the error message on the screen monitor of the TSS. For now I choose cancellation of the conversion, the wind magic stone that sank in the screen monitor has fallen on the back side of the monitor.
In other words I can convert magic stone by dropping it on the monitor, am I able to get as many crystal as I can?　I search in the pouch of the magazine belt, choosing another magic stone, I take out the no attribute magic stone collected on the goblin mage. I dropped it on the screen monitor.

『 Conversion！　This crystal will be converted into points? (Y/N) 』

There. It was impossible with the wind magic stone, it’s possible to convert a non attribute!?　I convert it at once, and checked the number of acquired point…… It is few, the number of points was about the amount for one magazine.

「Th… this…… Though CP was certainly obtained, After all, it becomes minus if I thinks about the frequency to acquire magic stones…… No, if I think about the replenishment of materials, not everything needs to be obtained directly. Or there’s the way of buying and trading magic stones too, but won’t it turn into a substantial amount of money then……?」

Among the stories I heard Ashley san talking, there was a story about how making use of magic stones. Magic stones seem to support various life infrastructures in this other world, the energy source operates in the same way various magics.
In other words, magic stones are like the electricity in my former world, the gas, or the fossil fuel. It is difficult to imagine an offer with a reasonable price actually, however here the fortress city of Varga is enclosed by a labyrinth……

「I see, the labyrinth……? Ashley san said, in nature it is difficult to obtain magic stones, reversely in labyrinths when killed magic beasts and even sub-races disappear immediately absorbed in the labyrinth, and their core becomes a magic stone falling down there……」

In other words, the activity in the labyrinth plays a central part in gathering magic stones. I should become an explorer out of an adventurer, when promoted to D rank I’ll immediately be promoted into one, it’s necessary to obtain the authorization for entering the labyrinth. Thinking up there, I noticed the moment the date starting to change.
I must go and see Malta san tomorrow, above all to confirm the means to obtain CP, as the excitement hasn’t lessened yet, or do I go to sleep soon today?
