Chapter 11 – Monster Mass Outbreak – 1
Inside the Adventurer’s Guild building.
Unlike usual, I feel that something has changed in the tense air.
Was the group of adventurers so serious? The people gathered today had a different atmosphere.
“What’s going on?”
ISTY seemed to have a corner.
“Probably, it’s because of the mass outbreak of monsters.”
“A mass outbreak of monsters?”
It was a word I had heard at some point.
“There is a period when a large number of monsters are generated due to the influence of the demon king. At that time, adventurers scattered in various places gather and solve the problem.”
“It must also be the time when elite adventurers, which are hard to see normally, gather.”
Isti nodded his head.
“Even in the main building of the Guild of the Saints, there was no time to step on. Now, Marne is also affected.”
Are all high-ranking adventurers different? The clothes are unique, but there seemed to be a lot of people who like to be alone.
Among them, a man with grossly long hair came up to us.
“Seeing 「The Noble Hunter」, You are lucky today.”
It was not me, but ISTY.
“…”
“I don’t know if you remember me, but I met you during the [Minotaur subjugation].”
“Wavid. I remember.”
Isti stared blankly at Wavid’s outstretched hand, but did not hold it.
Wabid shyly put his hand back and said.
“Elves are the guardians of the forest. I’m guessing you came after hearing about the mass outbreak of orcs.”
“Is the Orc…?”
“Didn’t you know?”
“Yes.”
. . . This man named Wavid, can you not see me?
He seems to have become invisible.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll tell you what I know. Shall we go over there?”
“I’ll find out for myself.”
Isti rejected Wavid’s offer in a euphemistic tone and took my hand.
Wavid looked straight at me for the first time.
“Are you with them?”
“I couldn’t see you.”
“I’m sorry. It was something I never imagined…”
Something you couldn’t have imagined?
Does that mean that ISTY is surprised to be around a certain person?
“Did you organize a party because you had a change of heart? You must be a person with great abilities.”
ISTY held my hand tightly.
“Yes, it’s great. Enough to fall in love with.”
Isn’t this enough to send it flying into space rather than launching it?
With those words coming out of Isty’s mouth, Wavid seemed to have nothing to say.
“There are already many talented adventurers… But it seems that there is no place for me to stand.
Nice to meet you. My name is Wavid, and I’m just an adventurer.”
“It’s a decal.”
Shake hands with Wavid.
Judging from what Easty remembers, he doesn’t seem like an adventurer at all.
“It’s Mr. Decal. I look forward to your success in this orc subjugation mission.”
I can feel people’s eyes
To me, not to ISTY? Huh. Thanks to ISTY, it was difficult to gauge how far my evaluation had gone.
I don’t know if it’s okay for me to be in the middle as I can only use one basic attack magic.
“Then I’m done.”
Wavid stepped back.
“You are famous among adventurers.”
“I don’t know. A lot of people ask me to party, but I always decline.”
“Your name isn’t even known, right? You don’t like to say your name in front of others?”
“I don’t want to tell anyone. I can’t trust humans. They betray trust so easily.”
Unexpectedly, ISTY revealed its hatred for humans.
She forgot for a while. She knew that she was an elf who was many times more vigilant than the others.
“You don’t believe me either?”
ISTY smiles as she puts her finger on my finger.
“The decal is an exception. He’s human, but he can be trusted.”
She just knew it through her words and actions, but she doesn’t think that just because she believes in me, she doesn’t think her attitude toward others will soften as a result of it.
Elves’ mistrust of humans seems to be quite ingrained.
Well, I have no idea how to do that either.
In the end, because ISTY was right.
If I, a human being, thinks of what she has done to her, how sinful is she?
Yesterday I hugged Yeast, and she seems to have an erection again. I feel it again, but I am a very twisted person.
“Then I’ll call you by name when we’re alone.
Oh, my name doesn’t matter.”
“I don’t even want to tell you the name of the decal.”
ISTY said in a charming tone.
“It’s okay. I know how to deal with humans.”
It has become a word of its own.
Anyway, it looks like I’ll have to take on a mission to subjugate the Orcs.
“Shall we catch an orc? Is it very strong?”
“I don’t know what other people’s standards are. I had it easy.”
That would be easy Because it’s a diamond grade.
“Shall we take it? It’s a little scary.”
“I’ll protect the decal.”
Come to think of it, there was no danger if I took Isty.
She felt like she could take it seriously.
I first went to the mission board and checked the contents of the Orc subjugation mission.
「Orc Subjugation」
Rank C+
Recommendations
Level 24 or higher, party of 3 or more, combat skill, search skill
Significant
Mass outbreak of orcs, high risk. High probability of crowding.
My level is 16.
The recommendations far exceeded my level.
“Esty, what level are you?”
I get out of the corner and ask Estee.
If IS-T gets 50 to 60, I think you can trust her.
“1193.”
“What?”
Did you hear me wrong?
“One thousand one hundred ninety three.”
Estee thought I was really asking the question and said it clearly.
“…How strong are you?”
“Perhaps as much as a diamond level adventurer?”
Looking at his level, he wasn’t someone that an orc could dare to mess with.
I went straight to the reception desk where Asceline was.
“Oh, uh, what can I help you with?”
What?
Lately, I haven’t stuttered and I’ve been doing well.
Asceline’s face was strangely red. Seeing that, I remembered my suggestion.
It was an allusion that “Every night, I masturbate while thinking of me”… It seems that she has reached the stage where she even has lewd delusions while looking at me.
“Her face is red. Are you okay?”
“Yes! No, no problem.”
“I’m about to receive an Orc subjugation mission…”
“You mean the Orc subjugation mission? You must have a Bronze level or higher license for that mission.”
“My license hasn’t come out yet, has it?”
“Yes, you should wait a little longer.”
“Then···.”
I glanced at ISTY.
Estee seemed to understand right away, and joined the reception desk instead of me.
“I’ll take the order.”
“Yes, four!! Well, our branch doesn’t have a super-large soul stone, are you okay?”
“Yes. Five large soul stones, please.”
…Is this the dignity of the diamond level?
The soul stone you can receive is different from mine.
“Please wait for a while as we need permission from the guild master.”
Asceline left her seat behind her, she asked Isti.
“If it’s a large soul stone, how many small soul stones?”
“100.”
“…”
If it’s worth 100 soul stones to fill 100 goblin souls.
Ten thousand goblins in one large…?
I don’t think anyone would catch a goblin with a large soul stone, but it’s a huge capacity.
“If it’s a medium size, then how about ten?”
“Huh.”
How much will it cost if you fill it all up?
I thought that a mass outbreak of monsters might be a good time for adventurers to make money.
It’s a job that is risking one’s life, but the pay is certain, so it’s attractive.
“These are 5 large soul stones. Please return them to the guild after completing the mission. Then…”
Asceline glanced at me.
“Would you like to register a party?”
“Party registration?”
What is it? Even Estee didn’t notice. Well, this guy has never had a party.
“When forming a party, the leader has to identify the members and register them.
When the mission is completed, to distribute the performance fairly and record it.”
“Decal is the leader, I’m a party member.”
“Does it make sense that I, without a license, am the leader and a diamond-level party member? You are the leader.”
“I’ve never been a leader before…”
Is this an unfamiliar experience for elves?
The same goes for me. I don’t know if it’s a boss, but a leader.
“Well, isn’t it just a name anyway? Asceline, do leaders have privileges?”
“Leaders have a lot of say when it comes to evaluating mission performance.”
“If you kill 100 orcs and I lie to you about 50, will I get it?”
The thought of exploiting it immediately came to mind.
Asceline looks around her in bewilderment.
“You can’t say that out loud.”
ISTY looked at me with a rare stern face and said.
“Dekal, you can’t do that. You have to work hard and get a fair price.”
. . . These are very sincere girls.
“What about it? The number of dead Orcs doesn’t even change.”
“I’ll be the leader.”
It seems that ISTY’s mind has changed.
“I’ll keep a close eye on Decal to make sure he doesn’t cheat.”
“Is it because you don’t trust me?”
Estee looked at me gently.
“I believe it. I think the decals will be able to manipulate the number of kills.”
I never thought the country could see through humans so keenly.
The eyes of an elf, you can’t underestimate them.
“Then I’ll register Hunter as the leader.”
Asceline quickly fills out the paperwork.
I have no complaints either. The strongest person should be the leader.
By the way, where do orcs come from?
“Where do orcs come from?”
“Now, you can easily find them in the forest outside of town. If you destroyed the Orc’s stronghold and brought the symbol, the achievement score will increase, so please refer to it.”
I’m talking about measuring things and scoring them.
I came out of the Istyrang Guild.
“Should we eat and leave? Leader?”
“That’s not what you call it.”
I entrusted it, but it seems embarrassing to be called.
I ate at a restaurant near Istyrang and went on a subjugation of orcs.
It was when I passed through the entrance of the village that the word that there was a large amount of monsters came to my mind.
I could see at a glance that the number of patrols and guards had increased, and the head of the guard was also giving instructions directly.
I knew right away why. It was because Orcs began to be seen near the village where only goblins were seen.
“Don’t be offended!”
“It surrounds it and stabs it for sure.”
The guards are dealing with the orcs.
Orcs were much bigger than goblins. He was average short and fat compared to humans, but to protect his body
He wore crude armor and was familiar with using weapons.
“Wait. You two, stop.”
At that time, a guard we hadn’t seen caught us.
“It’s dangerous from here. There are a lot of monsters, and there are Orcs everywhere.”
“We are adventurers who are tasked with subjugating orcs.”
“I’ll check the license.”
Looking at everyone’s expressions, I can feel that the day is standing.
In place of the day without a license, ISTY came forward.
“Here.”
She hands over a square card that looks like an identification card, and the guard takes it and checks it carefully.
“Excuse me. It will be a great help to the skinny residents that a diamond-level adventurer is participating. Thank you.”
Thanks to ISTY, I was a free pass.
ISTY is like my protector.
“The atmosphere is not unusual.”
“Yes, during mass outbreaks, many people die. You have to be careful. There are thieves who want to attack adventurers and steal their soul stones at this time.”
“A thief? You attack people, not monsters?”
“Thieves are of that type. Those who believe that collecting souls by faithfully catching monsters is foolish.
That’s why, you can’t believe everyone you meet even if they say they’re adventurers.”
I felt like I knew what kind of heart ISTY had been leading an adventurer’s life.
Even in the world I was in, people always eat people.
Have you ever been so bloody close?
I was also a little nervous.
At the beginning of the forest, there were many adventurers who wanted to kill orcs for the same purpose as us, but
As they went inside, the number of orcs increased overwhelmingly.
No, it was to the point where I seriously doubted where so many of them were eating and pooping.
The group of orcs hadn’t noticed this yet, but I wanted to go home.
“Should I just go back…”
There are too many numbers.
Fourteen armed orcs in ten.
“I’ll do it.”
