ã......And then, after completing the first training trip in C rank,
We took a vacation, then we happened to come here and get our first job after the vacation!ã(Mile)
ããããã............ããããã(Female Hunter Party)
Even if they listen to Mileâs explanation, the female hunter party stays silent.
They donât want to believe.
If they acknowledge the existence of such a newbie C rank party,
Their common sense and confidence will be crushed.
They donât want to admit.
They can not admit!
ã...But there is... one... right now... before our eyes...ã(Female Hunter)
Disappointed.
The female hunter party is depressed.
ãAh, by the way, we havenât even introduced ourselves yet.
My apologies, I have been rude...
We are C rank party, âBlue Galeâ. But we are going to promote to B rank soon (upper-level C rank)ã(Female Hunter)
ãWe are C rank party, âRed Oath.â
Itâs been a year since we became C rank, as explained earlier by Mile...ã(Maevis)
Mile has already told the Rank at the time of the explanation earlier, Maevis was just formally telling their name while lowering her head.
After a while, Guards came from the Imperial City.
The number is quite large, as this place is very close to the gate and there are many people to be captured.
In addition, there were not only guards but also other hunters.
Then the Guards took over the caught bandits,
Meanwhile, hunters and clerks came to Mileâs group.
ãMy name is Ovin (ãªã¼ã´ã£ã³: Åvu~in), Deputy Guild Master.
My apologies, I have accepted posting a ârottenâ request.
I will take measures to avoid something like this in the future.
So please calm your anger and wait.ã(Ovin)
Apparently, the employer has called both the guild branch as well as the guards.
...Certainly, as for âBlue Galeâ, their client must pay the request fee and further penalties.
However, it would be better if the guild apologizes to them for indirectly involving them in such a situation.
He was a smart merchant to even care for a hunter he didnât hire.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As for Mileâs group, âRed Oathâ
There was no problem with the client or the request itself,
Even if there are assailants and their mastermind,
Itâs a category of âescort dutyâ, so there is no problem.
... Well, as for the guild, they will need to make some remedies.
Because they were involved in a crime through the guildâs commission,
If they donât deal with it properly and the news spread, the Imperial Capital City Hunter Guild Branch will lose its reputation.
And along with the captured bandits
Garaidal and his employees, who have not been captured yet, begin to move with many people surrounded them so that they cannot escape.
As expected, the wife and child arenât surrounded as much,
They are only lightly surrounded.
And of course, merchant Vebdel, Red Oathâs client, his senior servants... probably those who have been around for a long time, the female hunter party âBlue Galeâ and âRed Oathâ following to testify in various ways as a witness.
Other employees of Vebdel Firm cleaned up and withdrawal from the site.
And the sad eyes of the children, seeing off their friends.
If they are lucky, someday they may come across as a merchant...
ï¼ ï¼ ï¼
ãThank you very much this time.
If our escorts arenât you, we might have been dead by now...ã(Vebdel)
With that said, the client really shows his sincere gratitude.
What he was saying was exactly the fact, so the Mileâs group didnât humble themselves and accepted the words of appreciation and praise.
Anyway if you are Japanese or citizen of other countries (including the different worlds), itâs a fool to understate your own accomplishments, so Mile follows that rule here.
In particular, if the hunters naturally reduce the evaluations and rewards that they should be able to obtain, other hunters will be troubled.
It is important for both evaluation and reward to âprotect the marketâ.
And even though the client was really grateful, he didnât seem planning to add any extra rewards.
But thanks are free, no matter how much you say.
... As expected, he is a genuine merchant.
Well, thatâs normal. And he already gave an A rating on the request achievement certificate, so Mileâs group didnât complain.
Pauline is also satisfied with the reward for catching the bandits and the share of the price of the crime slaves.
This is the end of the case.
They still need to report to the guild.
Since the Deputy Guild Master was present at the Guardâs headquarters for briefings and testimony, make a formal request completion report, the girls only need to receive the money.
How much this apology will be charged, itâs fun to think about it (Paulineâs POV?).
ãWell then, itâs about time......ã(Maevis)
ããããThank you very much for the requestãããã(Red Oath)
Following Maevisâ signal, âRed Oathsâ all sang together a fixed phrase as a ritual.
And when âRed Oathâ tried to leave Vobdel Firm, the merchant owner Vebdel called out.
ãPlease wait!ã(Vebdel)
Four girls stopped their feet.
ãWould you please accept a new request?
I want you to help me transport goods by storage magic from here to another town which is 4-days long travel by carriage...ã(Vebdel)
ãI refuseã(Maevis)
Maevis responded immediately without hearing Vebdelâs full request.
ãEh......ã(Vebdel)
The amount of compensation,
Refused immediately without hearing any other conditions,
Vebdel was surprised that he was immediately refused before hearing the rewards or other conditions.
ãThere are two reasons that we refuse.
One is that our free time is only until tomorrow.
And the other is because we are C rank hunters.
C rank hunters can receive escort requests, but carry luggage out of jurisdiction.
If you want to hire a hauler, should you hire someone with an E rank or lower, or go to the commercial guild, a wagon shop, etc?
Well then, if you excuse me.ã(Maevis)
As Maevis says, hunters of rank E or lower can do anything, such as porters that carry party luggage, chores, etc.
In order to eat, you canât afford to choose a job.
However, there are no hunters who do such a job when they are C rank or above.
Even if your life is a little bit hard, itâs laughable if you get such a job.
Itâs almost the same as stealing a job for a standard guild member under 10 years old. C rank hunter who takes such a job for a low rank. If you have shame, you will not be able to get it.
Therefore, such jobs should be offered as low-rank jobs, or to non-combat workers, such as wagons, grocery stores, and commercial guilds.
If this request is âEscort a transport corpsâ.
In addition to that, the client asked Mile to store additional luggage and valuables, then the girls might accept it.
In fact, thatâs the case with only Mile.
However, if the request was âTransportâ, the C-rank party âRed Oathâ couldnât accept it.
Especially for Maevis and Lena who value honor and pride.
ãAh......ã(Vebdel)
Failed.
Vebdel realized that but it was too late.
Even if he changed the request to âEscortâ, the girls wouldnât accept it.
But then, he called again to the âRed Oathâ who is walking away.
ãPlease wait!ã(Vebdel)
ãNo matter how you ask, we canât accept it.
In the first place, we have an appointment for the day after tomorrowã(Maevis)
Despite Maevis saying so, Vebdel hasnât given up.
ãNo, I gave up on that!
So Iâd like to ask another request ...ã(Vebdel)
ãAnother request..., isnât it?ã(Maevis)
When he said that, the girls at least need to listen.
Itâs rude to refuse to listen to the client of the guild, although he hasnât requested to the guild this time yet.
The reputation of the hunter will drop.
And itâs not a big deal to listen.
They just need to listen, if they donât like it, they can refuse after that.
In the first place, they donât have much time left by the end of tomorrow, so they mostly just refuse anyway.
ãPlease talk. Weâre listening.ã(Maevis)
Hearing Maevisâ reply, Vebdel started talking.
ãI would like to ask you to provide cuisine to and, if possible, how to make it for tomorrowâs outdoor party (picnic).
I want to make up for the ruined party that the kids were looking forward to.
And itâs a goodbye to the good friends, Gareidalâs children...
So, tomorrow, the re-make...
Fortunately, Garedalâs wife and children donât seem to be involved in this case and are still free.
Regardless of whether they will be taken over by the wifeâs parentsâ house or if they manage to rebuild the company with those who are left behind, I want them to have the last fun moments and memories with their good friends...ã(Vebdel)
ã............ã(Maevis)
When he said, it was hard to refuse.
In terms of schedule, thereâs no problem if itâs about half a day tomorrow.
There is no particular problem in the content of the request because it is a nomination request with Mileâs special skill.
Certainly, the transportation request mentioned earlier is also a ânomination request using Mileâs special skillâ, but the fact that âa C rank party received a transport request as porters, not as escortsâ will affect the pride of âRed Oathâ, but this request isnât.
However, this request is more like a nomination request for Mile rather than the hunter party, Red Oath.
As a party leader, Maevis is having trouble replying...
ãLetâs take it!ã(Mile)
Cheerfully, Mile replied.
