“They are not good enough to defeat a Tiger Wolf.”
“This is the royal capital, right? Why aren’t there any around?”
“There is an event coming up soon, and the leading adventurers are out of town hunting to prepare for it. If you give us some time, I’m sure they’ll be back.”
“When will they be back?”
“Sorry, I don’t know. We don’t really know how long it will take them to get from their quests. And even if they do come back, it will be up to the adventurers whether they accept the request or not.”
“Then the village…”
The man drooped his head.
Was it my imagination that I was having a déjà vu?
I could imagine what he would say if I approached him here.
But that didn’t mean I could just walk away and pretend I didn’t see him.
“Do you need my help?”
“Yuna-chan? That’s very kind of you, but is it okay?”
“If I hear later that the whole village was wiped out, I won’t be able to sleep well.”
Given my personality, there was no doubt in my mind that I would regret it.
Even I, with my bad character, I still have a bit of humanity.
“Then may I ask you to help them?”
“Are you kidding me?”
The man raised his voice.
“There’s no way a girl dressed like that can defeat a Tiger Wolf!”
I have missed that. It has been a long time since I’ve had this reaction.
I didn’t get this kind of reaction recently, so it feels fresh.
I mean, I was a well-known member of the Adventurers’ Guild in Crimonia. I rarely received requests directly from clients.
So it was not the first time recently that I have received this kind of reaction.
“She may be dressed like this, but she is an excellent adventurer. You can trust her to take care of it.”
“How can I believe that?”
“If she fails to defeat the Tiger Wolf, I, the Guild Master, will take responsibility.”
“Sanya-san, are you sure you want to say that?”
“I trust Yuna-chan more than any other adventurer. Besides, you can beat a Tiger Wolf, right?”
“Well, I can beat them easily.”
I have records of hunting them down, and they were not that challenging.
“Then there should be no problem.”
It was embarrassing to be trusted so much.
“Oh, please keep the damage low if you can, because I want to use Tiger Wolf in the event as well.”
“…Okay.”
The man listened silently to our conversation.
Guild Master Sanya-san said she would take responsibility, so he couldn’t say anything.
After the decision was made, I asked him about the location of the village and decided to leave as soon as possible.
