Wortenia Senki Volume 1 Chapter 12

Chapter 1 E 12 (Fleeing) 4

Ryouma narrowed his eyes because of the light of the morning sun. 

Ryouma bought five magic potion and five antidotes from the second-hand magic store, a simple tent, a map of the western continent, and also a backpack to put all of those things. 

Since currently Ryouma have not much time, he decided to buy it at a later date. 

"Ah!" 

Ryouma voice echoes inside of the Oceanic Nois restaurant that has been turned into a bar. 

She came up to Ryouma worried that insect might enter his meal, but as far as she looks at him, that does not seem to be the case. 

This is, in fact, a huge failure. If it's like this, he will have definitely pay the indemnity. 

However, hearing Ryouma answer, the hostess expression turn into a smile. 

"N- No... in fact, I have not yet received the letter..." 

"Ha haan. You, you haven't didn't go to the delivery counter yet haven't you?" 

"Delivery counter?" 

It seems like the visitors who tried to listen to them understood the situation. They have smirked and smile on their face looking at Ryouma. 

"Oi. A new face here. " 

"Indeed, I'm also like that the first time." 

"After all the guild is a bureaucrat too." 

The whispering voice reaches Ryouma ears from around the corner. 

"Ahahaha." 

Because she can't stand it anymore, the hostess laughed loudly  The surrounding mercenaries laughed together as well. 

"??" 

Ryouma was unable to understand why they laughed at him. 

"Iya~, my bad, my bad. Well indeed, half of the beginner end up just like you right now." 

Noticing Ryouma fell silent with a stupid face, the hostess covers her mouth with her apron and apologize. However, a smile still floats on her face. 

"What's going on actually?" 

Toward Ryouma question, words come flying from the people around him. 

"For the new face trial, cheers~!!" 

"A victim of the bureaucracy, glory to that!" 

"New face! Don't lose heart and do your best alright~~." 

He did not understand the situation at all. Ryouma turned his gaze filled with question toward the hostess. 

It was being handed over by receptionist after I'm done registering. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

【Request quest: Related to delivery category】 

The quest end condition is by delivering the item to the delivery counter at the next town guild. 

【Request quest: Subjugation category.】 

And, the quest will end by the time the card being submitted to the guild delivery counter. 

After the subjugation target inhabitant has been decided, make sure you always being accompanied by the guild attendant, it is necessary as proof that you do subjugation in the right place if not, 

In case you undertaking the procurement quest, the quest will end if the procurement item has been delivered to the guild delivery counter. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

"These guys..." 

Ryouma looked at the title of the booklet which is written as "Guild beginner guide." 

Although he doesn't intend in making any excuse, it seems more efficient if they just hand over the item together with the time he took the quest, or so he thought. 

In the first place, it seems like there are many people like him. 

It is the time for the most shop to close, except shops such as bars. 

"Fufufu. The guild is open for 24 hours and 365 days. By the way, such matter was also written in the booklet; please read it later properly alright?" 

Hearing that, Ryouma stuffed his mouth with the grilled meat in a hurry. Then he paid the dinner bill at the counter and bowed toward the hostess and leave the shop. 

"Yes! This is the requested item. Thank you very much. Mikoshiba-san." 

The woman is wearing a glasses handed over the letter wrapped with oil paper to Ryouma. 

"The steal stamp is using wax. If this thing peels off, you will receive penalties regardless you read the inside or not, please be careful alright." 

After reading the information on the guild board, Ryouma headed to the delivery counter situated on the first floor and then showed his card, and the guild receptionist woman handed the requested item readily.  

"Faah~~~~." 

Ryouma leave the entrance while yawning. 

After he had received the requested item at the guild yesterday, Ryouma spent the night in the hotel facing the main street.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Lunch time at the Oceanic Noise restaurant = 25 baht (25 copper coins) 

A sword = 500 baht (5 silver coins) 

Magic potions x 5 = 1000 baht (10 silver coins) 

Simple tent = 500 baht (5 silver coins) 

Backpack = 100 baht (1 silver coin) 

----That is the amount of money he spent on his first day after being summoned. 

Looking at this food price is very low. 

Looking at the explanation on the bottle, it seems like they are quite effective for injuries. 

(Though if this were a game, this item would be the cheapest item. eh...) 

With that in mind, it makes him not stingy at using the medicine. 

Inside the guild beginner's guide that he read yesterday, other than how to receive a quest, and how to report, there's also the location of the wild dog and wild bee subjugation recorded in it. 

This time he received the wild dog quest; usually, they appear 5 minutes walking from the highway.  

There is a reason as to why Ryouma does this. 

Of course, there are a lot of people in a hurry passing the highway but. 

Even if he didn't think of that, it would be much more safer if he is moving between town while doing subjugation quest. 

After entering the forest for a bit more, *woosh* such sounds can be heard. 

The size of the bug is as big as a real dog, even though he thought of it as an insect. 

It looks like an ordinary bee. 

It seems that thing is field bee wild bi. 

However, it has a deadly poison, if he were to be stabbed five times, he would die. 

Ryouma took chakram from his waist bag and lowered his body taking an iai stance, with the right leg to the front, and then he twists his hips to the left side. 

*Fon* 

*Zashu* 

*Ka* 

However Ryouma ignoring it, he then immediately throws the second chakram, the third, then the fourth, and then the fifth successively. 

One has its torso being torn; there's also those that have it heads broken, there's also those who's unable to fly anymore due to their broken wing. 

Ryouma pulls out his sword and approaches the wild bi. 

He then deals the final blow by crushing all the head of the wild bi that is still intact, and only its feather broke. 

He then takes out the beginner's guide book and read the part that he folded. 

-----------------------------【Procurement Material】 

Monster's body have various uses such as to make a medicine, food, catalyst for magic, and others depend on the monster part. 

For the time being, he cut apart the wild bi to take the stinger. 

As he tried to pull the feathers, Ryouma noticed around 3 of them had their feathers torn of having a hole on it. 

He took the beginner's guide book in panic. 

--------------------------------------------------------------- 

Since it's an item to sell, if the damage is too intense, sometimes they won't accept it. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

However, with a life-threatening situation, it's not easy to keep an eye to the damage. 

(If this is a game, I just have to take the part that can be sold I guess...) 

(Even though I manage to defeat them, I lost the battle?... I guess I should give up on money if it were getting dangerous huh?...) 

Ryouma realize the difficulty of a real hunting.
