## Chapter 356 – Kim Kat and the 40 Bandits
After walking leisurely all night, we finally arrived in Isbanter in the morning. I felt a deep fatigue, but the lessons and realizations the bandits had given me still burned hot in my heart.
My steps were light.
In a way, those bandits were like forest sprites.
“Heh, still, they were grateful guys.”
I would never forget the heartwarming feeling they gave me. Thinking that, I passed through the city gates and soon found myself in front of the Adventurer’s Guild.
“I’ll get your reward money soon, so please wait.”
The inside of the guild was quieter than I expected. A merchant who noticed us told us to wait a moment before approaching the counter.
“Ugh, I’m tired.”
“But we made a decent amount of money.”
“70 per head… better than most requests.”
Hearing that, the adventurers took seats wherever they could find them. Some were already planning a drinking party, ordering drinks and snacks.
We also went to a corner and sat down.
I wasn’t that tired when we were coming, but now that we’ve arrived, the fatigue is hitting me all at once.
I’m so damn sleepy.
“Ah, Blackie, I’m so tired.”
“I am tired as well. It must be because it was such a rewarding job.”
“Me too. Ugh, I’m going to sleep all day today.”
Wienia, who must have been very tired from using a lot of mana and marching all night, leaned her head on my shoulder, her chest drooping.
You can tell Wienia’s level of fatigue by the state of her chest.
Elise also had dark circles under her eyes.
“But we can’t rest until we sell all the equipment.”
We can only say the job is done when we’ve sold everything we brought. Anyway, I rested my chin on my hand, listening to Wienia’s half-asleep breathing, and watched the merchant.
The merchant talked to an employee for a while and then went up to the second floor. He said he had deposited the money with the guild, and he would also need to explain several things about the deaths.
Originally, if there were deaths in a request directly given by the guild, everyone in that party would be penalized, no matter the reason.
This penalty was practically the same as not giving them any work at all. Their names would be posted on the bulletin board, and rumors would spread, so other adventurers would avoid them.
It would become difficult to get requests from the guild itself.
Of course, the guild would also investigate the cause of death, but it was just a formality, and they would do everything haphazardly. They had no will, ability, or budget to uncover the detailed truth, so whether someone died from a monster, an accident, or murder, the guild didn’t care much.
They didn’t need to worry about it; they could just impose a penalty and be done with it.
There are plenty of people who want to work anyway. There’s no reason to spend time and effort on E- or F-rank adventurers.
Therefore, proper adventurers who settle down in the city and have the right mindset grit their teeth and work diligently on requests without causing any trouble to become D-rank.
Naturally, those people eventually get promoted to D-rank and become the core force of the guild, contributing to increasing the guild’s coffers.
They don’t cause accidents, don’t give anyone a reason to complain, and are diligent and responsible. They can be trusted. That’s what D-rank is.
And once they become D-rank and receive decent work and treatment, and have their status in the city guaranteed, would they want to move somewhere else?
They tend to settle down in the city.
This is also very beneficial from the adventurer’s guild’s point of view.
In other words, the adventurer’s guild grinds down the lower-ranked adventurers to find these core D-rank adventurers. There are plenty of adventurers anyway.
However, it’s a bit different when a merchant hires adventurers to take revenge himself, like now.
This isn’t the merchant putting in a request with the adventurer’s guild, but the merchant personally requesting the adventurers. So, it’s not bound by the guild’s rules.
Still, since an adventurer died, there’s an obligation to explain what happened.
Well, since the deaths occurred while successfully subjugating a large bandit group, no one has any reason to complain. In the first place, only E-rank adventurers died. There’s no one to blame, and rather, subjugating the bandit group is a good thing in itself.
“Ah, the merchant’s coming down.”
After spending some time, the merchant with a money bag came down to the first floor. He approached the adventurers with a blank face and said.
“Now, I will give you the reward money as recorded in the ledger. Thank you all for your hard work. Thanks to you, I was able to take revenge.”
“We were paid to do it, so there’s no need to worry about it.”
One of the adventurers replied to the merchant’s words.
That’s right. Although the merchant completed his revenge with our help, we were all just doing it to make money. There’s no reason to receive thanks.
“That’s true. Anyway, here’s the reward money.”
The adventurers received their reward money from him in turn. 70 coppers per bandit. And 10 coppers for an E-rank adventurer’s daily wage. Those who received the money packed their bags and went outside.
We waited until the end.
“Magician and Nun. And Mirkesha Warrior. Thank you for your hard work. There were more bandits than expected. Perhaps, if it weren’t for you, subjugation would have been impossible.”
“Hehehe, that might be true. I hope this kind of thing doesn’t happen again, but if you ever need a sword again, please find D-rank adventurer Kim Kat at the guild.”
“Haha, I will.”
Wienia and I killed 15 people, and Elise killed 7. We received the reward money and daily wages in turn.
“Then, good work.”
The merchant said goodbye and went outside after finishing the calculations. I waved my hand, telling him to take care. Although he lost all his wealth, he successfully took revenge. With that kind of tenacity, he’ll succeed no matter what he does.
“Blackie. We made a lot of money, though.”
“Yeah. We got paid as much as we suffered.”
To roughly summarize, from the bandit subjugation request I received from the merchant from the morning before yesterday to this morning, I earned 10 silver and 50 coppers, plus 1 silver and 80 coppers for 3 days’ wages. And adding the cash stolen from the bandits, I earned a total of about 14 silver.
The money earned per hour is quite good.
And if we sell all the loot, we’ll probably get an additional 5 silver. In the end, Wienia and I earned about 19 silver together.
“Elise. Let’s go sell what we brought together.”
“Understood.”
The three of us headed towards the commercial district to sell the equipment. Only when we sell all of this will the job be finished.
Elise seemed fine, but Wienia, whose chest was drooping, was quite tired. I think it would be better to take her to the inn first.
“Wienia. Aren’t you tired? Do you want to go in first?”
“No… I’m tired, but let’s just go together.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah.”
Then I’ll have to sell it quickly.
The items we brought were the clothes and weapons the bandits were wearing. And a lot of piled-up equipment. It’s used and not in very good condition, but there’s a lot of it, so it’s okay.
I’ll have to sell it all off cheaply.
“I’m thinking of selling this all at once. Would you be willing to buy it?”
“This much? Where did you get it?”
“We subjugated bandits.”
“Ah, now that you mention it, I think I heard something about that.”
As usual, I went into the smithy and sold all the metal to the owner, who was suspicious, at a low price. Then I went into the general store and sold the clothes, and I went into the jewelry store and sold cheap necklaces and rings.
As expected, I got about 5 silver.
Elise got about 3 silver after selling everything.
“Ugh, we’ve sold everything now. Is it still before lunchtime?”
It seemed to be about 11 o’clock when we sold everything.
As soon as I came out of the store, I picked up Wienia, who had completely fallen asleep. Normally, her bouncy chest should have been pressing against my back, but now it felt completely flat.
“What the…!”
How much have I overworked Wienia!
That bouncy and elastic big chest has become like that!!!!!
A murderous intent rose, wanting to kill all the bandits. But I had already killed them all. Where does this anger with nowhere to go turn to?
Swallowing my anger, I went into the bathroom with her.
ㅡSwish.
I wanted to wash her with warm water, but unfortunately, Wienia, who can make warm water, is in this state. I asked for her understanding and slowly poured water on Wienia’s body.
“Aah, it’s so cold.”
“Are you more awake now?”
“No, I’m still sleepy. But I wanted to wash with warm water… sigh.”
Anyway, I washed Wienia’s body with care.
She worked hard, so she needs to wash and sleep well. From the middle, I also washed, and as our flesh rubbed against each other, warmth was naturally transmitted.
I was seriously aroused, but I decided to hold back.
I washed Wienia like that and came out. As soon as I wiped her body, Wienia staggered and threw herself on the bed. When I went closer to cover her with a blanket, she was already asleep.
“Kat.”
In that state, Claudia hugged me from behind.
“Ah, Claudia… but did you go and meet Risha?”
“Yeah. I went and talked to her.”
As I said, she went to the black magic shop while I was out catching bandits. I wonder what Claudia thought.
“Her identity is a bit suspicious, but she’s already completely smitten with Kat, right? Really, how much have you poked her with that naughty stick to make a woman like that?”
“No, Claudia Mama, please refrain from Mom’s Touch…”
Claudia, who was holding my thing, spoke as if she were comforting a child.
“Good, very smooth, Kat. I’ve talked to her about this and that, and yeah. It seems very good. Our Kat needs to make more women like that.”
I’ve been holding back for two days, so I felt like I was going to ejaculate right away. Claudia’s hands are so soft. Her touching skills already perfectly understood my needs.
“Hehehe, as expected, Kat has infinite potential. A strong warrior should have that many women.”
“No, Claudia Mama… but there are no more women now.”
“Don’t you think you’ll meet more as you live? Anyway, tell me about killing the bandits. Was there any achievement?”
Achievement…
