“Tomorrow, I have been invited by Sanya-san, so can Tirumina-san go with Fina and the others to tour the Royal Capital?”
“That’s okay, but don’t we have to join you?”
“It’s will be about the monsters that I defeated, so you don’t need to.”
“Okay, then I’ll go with Fina and the others to the Royal Capital tomorrow.”
The next day, I arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild alone to meet Sanya-san. I thought about it the other day, but there were not many adventurers present. I looked around and approached the receptionist, who, perhaps having been well-informed, immediately showed me through to the room where Sanya-san was.
“Yuna-chan, come in. Please take a seat.”
I sat down in the chair she suggested. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜
“So, should I offer hand over the cockatrice?”
“Thank you for being so quick. Yes, I was thinking about what to do with the main monster. Then I remembered the cockatrice. Of course, I’ll pay you a fair price for it.”
“I don’t need the money, but I don’t want to give away the material.”
As a former gamer, I was inclined to hoard materials that I might not know when I would use.
Well, it was more or less unused as it was, and often the materials continued to be storedp in my item box, but there were more than a few times when I was glad to have them.
So, since I was never in need of money, I preferred to keep the hard-to-find materials on hand.
If I did have a problem with money, I would just sell it.
“The stuff you take apart is supposed to be sold, right, no?”
“I don’t like it when you say that so cutely.”
“I’d say no. I thought the Adventurers’ Guild was supposed to provide the items to be dismantled. You don’t have it prepared?”
“Well, we have prepared them. We’ve worked out some preparations, so the monsters are now in storage, using magic to prepare them for this event. But if a rare monster is hunted down, word will spread quickly and people will know about it before the event.”
I see, thinking about it, when I defeated the Black Viper, the word spread so quickly.
It was also known that I had defeated Tiger Wolf.
If it was brought to the Adventurers’ Guild, there would be publicity and no way to keep it hushed up. Inevitably, news would spread.
People could not keep their mouths shut completely.
“That’s why I wanted to bring out a monster that was unknown to either the adventurers or the guild staff.”
If they knew the monsters they were going to dismantle, they could prepare for it.
That would give the adventurers and guild officials in the Royal Capital an advantage.
Sanya wanted to avoid that.
“So, Yuna-chan, I was wondering if you still have the cockatrice, and if you could give it to me.”
“Only if I can have some of the materials.”
“Alright, thank you. Let’s talk about what part of the material you would be willing to share with us.”
We were about to start talking about the finer details when there was a knock at the door.
“What is it?”
Sanya-san grudgingly allowed the person on the other side of the door to enter, and the receptionist entered the room.
“What’s wrong?”
“Well, we have a visitor who has come to ask for an urgent request, but we don’t have any adventurers who can accept the request at the moment, so I would like to inquire if we should decline the request.”
Apparently they couldn’t say no.
“What is the request?”
“They say that a Tiger Wolf has appeared in a village.”
A Tiger Wolf appeared in a village. That would be a problem for the livestock and other animals they had.
“I see, a Tiger Wolf is too much for a low-ranked adventurer to manage, right?”
“Yes, the adventurers with ranks suitable to eradicate the Tiger Wolf were out of town, preparing for the event.”
By event, do they mean the dismantling event?
“I’ll talk to them for now.”
Sanya-san left the room, and I somehow followed her.
When I walked to the reception desk, a man was there.
“Thank you for waiting.”
“Are you the Guild Master?”
“Yes, I’m Sanya, the Guild Master. I’ve heard about your request. As the receptionist said, there are no adventurers available at this time that could hunt it.”
“There should be some adventurers available, right?”
The man looked at the adventurers in the guild.
The adventurers look away or fled from the adventurers’ guild.
