Chapter 17

“You came!”

When I went to see the Hunter Guild bulleting board in the morning, Mr. Baru was waiting happily with a grin.

“… what is it?”

“No, I have a lot of work. I want to ask you.”

“I only have a bad feeling…”

“I want to choose a job a little more…”

Aside from me, Saran is one of the best hunters in the world, right? I’d like to refuse an extraordinary job…

“Well, don’t say that.”

With that said, Mr. Baru puts a request form on the bulletin board one after another.

“The hunters above rarely come back to the subjugation of giant monsters. The middle-ranking guys are escorting the merchants to the east, and the younger ones at the bottom are just big jobs with money. I refused. Initially, hunters have to do it, and positions that are useful to people are unexpectedly unpopular. ”

“Is it like exterminating pigeons?”

“That’s right. You’re the first to take on such a job. That was helpful.”

……That’s right.

A hunter is not a lucrative job in Japan either. I don’t care about my income. It’s a hobby… volunteering.

“Hmm, but Shin wants money, right?”

How do I say it? Saran, help.

You don’t have to say that there is no such thing as a lid …

“I’m still a fledgling hunter here. I think it’s a good idea to work steadily, achieve good results, and become a trusted hunter. Hunters are a misleading profession.”

“That’s right!!”

“That’s right!”

Mr. Baru and his grandfather yelled out.

“No, I know you. It’s a big deal when you’re young… That’s precisely what we’re worried about. It’s a job that you choose and like, an easy and affordable job, or a job that sells your name. I just want to do it, I’m having troubles here and there, and I’m clinging to money.”

“Hunters don’t do that kind of work, they don’t do this kind of work, and the citizens and farmers are starting to think that way. Many arrogant hunters behave heroically. It won’t disappear. ”

Yeah, the same in Japan. Many people think that the hunting association is the worst job that rural old men who are happy to swing guns and kill animals do. We work steadily to protect the farmer’s fields, listen to their requests, and strive every day to be a trusted organization in the countryside. But with just one accident or failure, this trust quickly goes to zero. It’s a lousy job… No young people do it, and it’s hard for urban people to understand. It’s rare for a hunter in his twenties like me. I’m jealous of other hunting association branches. But my role is as simple as dragging a dead deer out of the mountains. Because I am young. Yup.

“That’s not it!”

Mr. Baru points to the bulletin board.

“There are quite a lot of requests from farmers! Can’t you guys do this from the beginning?”

“…”

“I ask of you. I’ll give you a special reward from the guild…”

“Um, Saran?”

“Yes?”

“For me.”

“Do you want to do it?”

“Yup!”

“It can’t be helped.”

I’m glad Saran answered with a smile.

“Squirrels! A lot of squirrels are coming!”

Is it a squirrel? The nuts are bitten. You know how much a squirrel eats, but if you eat it in front of you, you’ll get angry. It is a great enemy of nut farmers. Shoot down from one end with an air gun.

Squirrels are not allowed to be hunted in Japan. It seems to be said that shooting a cute squirrel is ridiculous, but shooting a squirrel in the United States is one of a nut farmer’s farming work. It is a reward of two gold coins directly from the farmer after dropping 22 animals.

……Is it really a decrease in the farmer’s income if there is such a thing?

I also got a lot of nuts. It’s similar to cashew nuts. it’s delicious.

“Prairie dogs fill the grass with holes!”

It is a rodent about the size of a cat. Hmm… When I get closer, I get into the hole, and the target is small and cautious… There is a distance of 100m or more. You can’t take a shotgun or an air gun. Of course, Saran’s bow is no good. I want a Birmington trifle like 223 Remington. Hunting with a 22 caliber is prohibited in Japan. But in America, everyone uses small caliber rifles to get rid of dozens of prairie dogs a day.

223 Remington is less than 50 cents per shot, 22LR

Long rifle.

Then I won’t do 10 cents. I’ll just listen to the story and think about what I can do.

“Coyotes attack cows and sheep on the ranch.”

It is nocturnal, but it seems that it will come in the daytime. This is also a rifle prey. I’ll do something about it soon, so I’ll just listen to it for the time being.

“Deers are ruining the fields!”

Leave it to me. My Sabot slug and Saran’s bow are enough. I tracked it with Saran and found it in a nearby forest, and captured three of them. A farmer takes out a wagon, collects it, and enters the city of Surplus from the east exit. After receiving two gold coins as a reward, the farmer waved his hand and returned by wagon. The guild building is right there from the east exit, so I asked a guild person to come and bring it in and buy it in its entirety. Three gold coins per head. It will buy you three times as much as in Japan. It’s a good profit.

“Wolves comes out. Children can’t go out…”

Catch a deer, hang it on a tree, dismantle it on the spot, and climb a separate tree and wait. They gathered in a flock, saying that they would like to smell the blood. Shoot from one end with a back shot and Saran’s bow. It’s a strong enemy that attacks you with your teeth. Was it the scariest thing I’ve ever done? It would have been dangerous if I hadn’t climbed a tree.

The wolf is like a Yankee-like Siberian husky. It’s easy. I remember a local high school student. Wolf fur is tough soft skin, and it also repels water, thus making it popular with farmers. Four silver coins, eight gold coins, and a half. Deer can’t be carried to the guild, so sell them directly to farmers and buy one gold coin. I’ve been bitten by a wolf for a while, so I wonder if it can be helped. Apart from that, two gold coins are rewarded. It was a good profit.

“The crow is…”

Yes yes. One gold coin. It seems that crows hold the seedlings of the planted crops and pull them out. Of course, the seedlings that have been pulled out will die. Crows are, as we all know, rare wild animals that “play”. I will do meaningless actions that can only be explained as doing it because it is interesting. It’s smart because it harasses humans that they’re in trouble if they do it. Even in Hokkaido, the damage to crop seedlings caused by this crow is worth millions of yen in one town. This can be prevented by shooting down the visible crows with an air gun or shotgun and hanging the corpse with a rod. I was grateful for providing farmers with many crows, which are usually difficult to catch.

“Pigeon …”

Yes. One gold coin when the barn was wiped out.

“It’s a fox.”

One silver coin… Because it’s nocturnal, I could only catch two of them who were wandering around in the daytime. This is a shotgun prey. I aimed to hide in the barn of the ranch and approach. It’s omnivorous, so I also come to eat livestock feed and grains. I like corn.

“A crocodile in the river.”

No, I’m scared! What is this guy over 4m?! I slammed three Saran arrows into one and finally defeated it. The skin sells well, so he bought it at the guild for 10 gold coins. The meat is also delicious. I don’t want to eat. I went into the swamp and had him pull it up with a rope. Both of them are full of mud… It’s profitable, but I don’t want to do this much…

After working for about a week like this, I still had 40 gold coins.

“Well done! This will regain the trust of the guild! It’s a small change.”

“Everything is little by little.”

“I will reward you. I will continue to ask.”

Get a big reward with a big leather bag.

e! so! !!

…… Isn’t all the contents silver coins?

Please stop winking, Mr. Baru. Your wink is creeping me out!

You see, your eyes around me…

Yes, that’s right. It is being stared at by other hunters. It’s an appeal that we are making good money even in a modest job. I hope you will set an excellent example for the young hunters around you. You see, Guild Master Buffalo Baru. Sixty silver coins. In other words, it’s a bonus of five gold coins.

“I’ll raise the rank by one and make them both 5th grade. Give me a card.”

“I think it will be a tougher job.”

“You can catch Labara Swani. Of course. My recommendation is that there are no fees.”

……I should have caught such a crocodile.

Both of them were muddy and soaked. You were disappointed at the inn. I rented a water place and let me wash it. This is the only place for us to relax. You can relax in the fluffy bed of a lovely inn. Well, I have to do this before going to bed. Sit on the floor and take care of your favorite M870.

“I want a rifle…”

“River?”

“Yeah, it’s a high-end tool that I use. It hits even 300m away and is much more powerful.”

“What about 300 meters?”

“A distance of 300 times this length”.

With that said, I spread my hand to about 1m.

“Well, you want it, but it’s expensive, isn’t it?”

“Yup.”

It may be expensive, but in fact, in Japan, shotguns are not allowed unless used for more than 10 years. Even if I got permission for a shotgun at the age of 20, I wonder if I can get a rifle at the earliest age of 30. It doesn’t matter because this is a different world…

You can buy a gun from a magic bag. I may not be able to buy it. I don’t know until I try this. Until now, I’ve only bought bullets and hunting equipment, and I wonder if guns are significant, and I can buy them just with my image. I’m scared if I make a mistake and lose only gold coins.

“How much will it cost?”

“About 20 gold coins with a gun and scope… It’s expensive, isn’t it?”

“OK.”

“Yup?”

“If you want Shin, you can use it. It’s the money you earned with me, I don’t have any use for it, and I’d be happy if Shin could fight stronger monsters, and I like it.”

“Really!”

“Yeah, but the inn should have a fluffy bed.”

I jumped into the bed and messed up.

Alright, next time I’ll buy a rifle!!!
