The staff called Me and Mea to move to the special window.
Thanks to Gastonās effect, there were few onlookers who followed us.
The redemption of the āHead-Eating Black-Fiendā proceeded without any problems.
In addition to the reward for defeating them, the furs processed by the Adventurer Support Center will be sold directly to the facility. So I decided to add that amount to my compensation.
āWell then, so hereās your fee, please check it.ā
The receptionist said and handed me a heavy sack full of coins.
I took the sachet, suppressing my excitement.
The weight of the bag made me feel like I was going to lean over.
Itās heavy, just plain heavy.
I quietly put the sachet in front of the counter and gave Mea a look.
āIāve served here for a good amount of time, but itās been quite a while since Iāve given this much in one reward, sir.ā
The receptionist smiled happily.
There are no dungeons or other dangerous places near this city.
The opportunity to redeem such things would naturally be in a different branch, so the opportunity to pay out not so high reward money is probably not much.
āIām sure weāll all be looking forward to seeing what you guys do in the future!ā
They cheered us on so powerfully.
Sorry to disappoint you, but Gaston is the one who is going to play an important role in the future.
You can expect a lot more from him in the future.
āWow, itās so heavy! Mea never had so much money in her life!ā
Mea happily lifts the sachet.
She looks smiling, but if she hadnāt forced herself to buy the World Tree, she would have had more than twice that amountā¦ā¦
But at any rate, itās a quick turnaround from being broke.
As long as we donāt live too flamboyantly, it looks like we wonāt have any trouble making a living for a while.
I didnāt expect to make this much money in a single hunt.
The āhead-eating black-fiendā is a mutant species that is rarely discovered, so this type of magic beast relatively not seen, but it still is a good start.
Even the debt to Mea will be paid off soon enough, and if I accumulate the money, I can buy magic tools, chimeras, even golems, I can make all I want.
From now on, Iām going to keep hunting
The books Iāve read about magic tools I bought in Lomarnās town and the knowledge in my past life with materials in this world combined together, a lot of things come to mind that could be made.
I developed the magic of displaying a screen in the air at an early age, so I think I can make a high-performance mobile phone that can display a large screen without the need to take up that much space.
Iāve heard of a magical beast that can alter its magic power to call its friends in the distance.
In short, itās able to handle magic power like a radio wave.
Iād love to catch it and dissect it.
As long as we can accumulate enough money, we can start developing a mobile phone.
Since it was so widespread in the original world, Iām sure it will sell very well in this world as well.
If it succeeds, the worldās richest man is no longer a dream.
A man in a robe with a cell phone wanders around here and asks, āWhatās it like in that country now? āIām going to Google that for a minuteā Conversations like that will be rampant.
Some people are going to open up their app games when they take a break from hunting.
The world is going to be in trouble.
Itās exciting just thinking about it.
We moved to the exit of the facility after we finished redeeming the āhead-eating black-fiendā, but the jeers and hunches were very little.
There were a few people who saw me and started whispering and gossiping, but they quickly stopped it.
It looked as if the rumors themselves would be gone by tomorrow.
Gaston Power was great.
āItās good to have their cooperation after all.ā
Mea frowns a little as I say it.
āSomehow, though, I have a feeling itās going to collapse in a ridiculous way one day⦠is it going to be okay? ā
āWeāll be fine if we back out quickly then. There wonāt be any fatal evidence, so we can just move to another city and resume our adventuring business again.ā
Instead of piling up achievements of Gaston, itās like a clumsy building blocks thing.
Itās impossible to imagine him continuing to succeed all the time.
And the higher you go, the greater the impact when it collapses.
Some caution would certainly be necessary to avoid getting caught in the collapse of Gaston Tower.
āAbel is pretty black-heartedā¦ā
āIām just trying to make ends meet.ā
I want the money, but I donāt want to awkwardly stand out.
Iām afraid Iāll get myself into trouble, and thereās no way I can be sure the Marrenās wonāt come looking for me.
Iām sorry, but I donāt have the luxury of being able to think about Gaston.
After leaving the Adventurerās Support Center, I made my way around the shopping district.
Since I had more money to spare, I bought a dismantling knife and polishing stone for Mea, and I changed the blade part of the World Tree for a little better.
I also got some dried fruit and dried meat for the next hunt.
I also bought more cloths so that my catch would be less visible.
The more people who see it, the faster it will be discovered.
Then I bought a beginnerās bow and arrows because Mea wanted to try handling them.
āNot that I have any experience with bows or anything like that at all, but I think I can handle it somehow!ā
She sounds like a student before a testā¦ā¦ but she said she was fine with the cheap stuff, so it was no big deal.
Rather, āI found a cheap one, so I want to handle itā she said.
So even if the bow is useless, it doesnāt hurt.
However, because it was cheap, the condition of the wood and the quality of the strings does not seem very good.
It doesnāt seem useless, but the bows in the tribe are much better.
Itās conceivable that it could be three days old, though, so this might be fine for now.
āIāll be able to finish off the far, far away prey that Abelās magic canāt reach like a zubababaa!ā
Iām confident that I can unleash my magic on a wider area than I can see, but Iād like to see you do well also.
āWith this, Mea will be useful to Abel, too! Best regards, Shooting Wyvern!ā
āā¦ā¦ is that by any chance the name of the bow?ā
A wooden bow and a shooting wyvernā¦ā¦all the wyverns in the world are going to be pissed.
I canāt speak for others when it comes to naming it.
āThat shooting wyvern, wonāt it better if you change the strings, scrape off the wisps and repaint it? Itās dangerous if you get wood chips in your fingers.ā
It might be better if I buy the materials and build it from scratch.
In fact, I have experience of making a bow in the Marren tribeās village.
If Mea is really proficient with the bow, Iāll spend some time and money making a real one next time.
However, I know that Mea wants to have some special skills, but Iām a little worried that she might have to much to do and become a jack of all trades and master of none.
