𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟒: 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬
The truth is, I decided to join Asuka’s clan because they were in danger.
It was unbearable to watch.
Forgetting to pay the sponsorship fee is usually unthinkable, but let’s say that’s okay. Maybe they didn’t listen to the explanation properly, or something like that.
No. . . probably not. Definitely not.
Anyway, the problem is not there, but the fact that all three of them had no money.
The sponsorship fee isn’t cheap, is it?
The money I handed to Jennifer was, frankly, an amount that I had because I was the vice-captain of a prestigious clan.
But, if you think about it normally, they should be able to pay if they gather the money they have.
They’re splitting the reward for two requests.
“By the way, how much do you have now? Declare it. Start with Asuka.”
“. . .Two silver coins.”
“What were you planning to do for dinner today? Next, Miliaria.”
“One gold coin.”
“It’s quite delicate, but I guess it’s better than Asuka. Finally, Meisha.”
“. . .”
Incredibly, this cleric turned her purse upside down and shook it.
Not a single copper coin fell out.
“What did you spend it on. . .”
“Donations to the church and eating out.”
Well, the former is good, right? You’re a monk, after all. It’s natural to donate to the church.
What I don’t understand is the eating out! It’s so absurd, I don’t even know where to start!
“Did all the money you didn’t donate to the church go to food and drink? Maybe.”
“If you smelled a delicious steak cooking, wouldn’t you eat it, Lionel-san?”
“Sure, I might be lured by the smell and go into a restaurant! But there’s a limit!”
“The world is meat.”
This cleric is hopeless. I need to do something soon.
Anyway, the reason they were at the guild today was not because they received a notice of expulsion.
They simply ran out of money and came to look for a new request.
It’s shocking.
If they hadn’t run out of money at this timing, they probably wouldn’t have noticed the notice and would have been expelled as is.
“I’m the best off. I still have a gold coin left.”
Miliaria arched her not-so-bumpy chest with a smug look.
You’re better off? Frankly, it’s a difference of fifty steps and a hundred steps, or laughing at the pot calling the kettle black.
What can you do with one gold coin? If the four of us eat dinner, it’ll be gone in no time.
“Haaa. . . Anyway, I understand that we need to work.”
I sighed deeply.
Among adventurers, there are those who spend money as they get it, and don’t keep money overnight.
It’s a dangerous profession.
You might lose your life in a battle with a monster. You might get caught in a trap in a ruin and die.
So there’s no point in saving. They’re the ones who think, let’s enjoy while we’re alive.
I can understand that.
I’m the opposite, I save little by little for unforeseen circumstances, but I can understand their feelings.
And, it seems that Asuka and the others are those kind of people. Unfortunately.
There might also be the aspect that they got carried away when they got a lot of money.
We need to earn money.
It’s a very urgent matter. Even if we add up all the money the four of us have, we’ll starve in a few days.
“Jennifer. Are there any urgent requests for subjugation?”
“The Hayden farm is frequently attacked by goblins. Considering the timing of the request, it wouldn’t be surprising if the damage has reached humans, not just livestock.”
“Got it. I’ll take that.”
I accept it without hesitation.
This is a conversation between people who know each other well. We’ve been together since she was a newbie a few years ago.
She understands my characteristics and abilities well, so she introduces me to the best job.
I was about to write [Gold-lined Butterflies] as the recipient on the document she handed me smoothly, but I stopped and looked at the three girls.
“What’s the name of our clan?”
“It’s Hope. It also refers to the expected newcomer.”
Asuka answered.
It’s quite an ambitious name.
Also, it’s fine now because it’s only been a month since we formed, but if it’s three years or five years later, it would be very cold to be called Hope, meaning the expected newcomer.
Probably, or rather undoubtedly, they haven’t thought about anything. These girls.
And so, the four of us who accepted the request headed straight to the Hayden farm.
There’s no need to make a big deal out of preparing for mere goblins, and we don’t have the money to prepare in the first place.
Moreover, we’re worried about the people at the farm.
Not to mention the human casualties, it’s a big loss if their livestock is killed or eaten.
We want to deal with it before any damage is done.
And so, we walk for a while.
We leave the city of Gaillia and arrive at the farm in about two quarters (four hours).
Not only Asuka, but also Miliaria and Meisha are good walkers, and they didn’t complain even though we only took two short breaks on the way.
The sun is completely tilted, and it’s almost time for twilight to take over the world.
“Oh, nice timing, I guess. I can sense them from all around.”
I smile a little.
It seems we’ve encountered the goblins before meeting the farm owner.
Lucky us.
“Asuka, Miliaria, Meisha. You guys fight as usual. I’ll give instructions while observing your characteristics.”
[Yes!]
Responding energetically, Asuka, who held a long sword in her right hand, jumped out first.
What?!
She’s charging in all of a sudden?!
