Chapter 8
[Storage Bag]
Translator : PolterGlast
"Now,
Masaru-sama, let me explain again to you, who has become an F-rank
adventurer."
Receptionist
Melissa-san is a lovely, round-faced woman with dimples when she smiles.
She's a beautiful
woman with a tanuki-like face, radiating a unique, warm aura that I don't think
anyone could dislike.
By the way,
registering with the guild costs one silver coin as a registration fee.
Of course, I was
flustered because I was penniless, but apparently, it's okay to pay later.
It's subtly my first
loan in life.
Oh, and I decided to
use my real name, Masaru Kazuno, as my registration name.
Considering the
future, it might have been better to use a pseudonym... but I ended up writing
my own name out of habit from taking exams.
"But to have a
surname... are you perhaps from a noble family in the Far East?"
"Ahaha, no
way."
Everyone I've met so
far has had deep, European-like features, so I was inwardly nervous, but
apparently, black hair and black eyes aren't that unusual in this world.
Apparently, everyone
from a country called Aija in the Far East has black hair and black eyes.
"Well, first,
let's talk about how the adventurer rank system works.."
Now that I've
successfully become an adventurer, I received the necessary explanations from
Melissa-san.
The contents were
roughly as follows.
First, adventurers are
divided into ranks from F to S.
And the rank is
determined not by pure strength, but by the degree of contribution to the
guild, taking into account the achievement rate of requests and the expertise
of knowledge.
So there are A-rank
adventurers who specialize in evasion and can reliably complete gathering
requests in extremely dangerous forests, and on the other hand, there are
skilled adventurers who have high combat abilities but can't rise from D-rank
because they cause problems.
Of course, the content
of the explanation ranged widely beyond ranks.
Adventurers are
basically responsible for their own losses, and the guild basically doesn't
intervene in disputes between adventurers.
If a request is not
completed, a payment of the same amount as the reward is ordered as a penalty.
Also, failure to
fulfill a request repeatedly could result in a loss of rank or, in the
worst-case scenario, expulsion from the guild.
In short, it means to
live an adventurer life that suits your abilities, and Melissa-san puffs out
her chest with a triumphant look for some reason.
Her magnificent
breasts swayed, and I could hear the sound of the adventurer behind me
swallowing his saliva.
"Masaru-sama,
please be careful not to be misled by ranks when forming a party."
"Yes, thank you
for your trouble."
Apparently,
Melissa-san, like Bans-san, thinks of me as an adventurer aspirant from the
countryside, and her gaze was somehow very gentle.
She doesn't seem to be
teasing me, but genuinely worried about me, which made me feel a bit nervous.
"Oh, by the way,
I hunted some monsters on the way here, can I ask you to buy them?"
"Yes, no
problem... but life is precious for adventurers. Even if you can use magic, you
can die easily. As I said earlier, please try to do activities that match your
current rank. The monster encyclopedia is open to the public in the guild's
reference room."
"Y-yes... I
appreciate your advice."
"Um, so... where
are the monster materials?"
"Ah, here."
I used the item box
that I can acquire with Space-Time Magic LV 3, and took out the stored
monsters.
I know it's rude to
suddenly dump corpses here, so I showed only the blood-stained head of the orc
I had defeated, just enough to show its ears.
"This is it, but
where should I put it?"
"...I'm
surprised. To think you even have a [storage bag]. You can use multiple rare
attributes, and even have expensive magic tools... could it be that
Masaru-sama's true identity is... no, no, it's okay. I have figured out
everything!"
Melissa-san seemed to
be letting her imagination run wild, and she started to laugh mysteriously.
It would be very
troubling if she saw everything... but well, she seems to be having fun, so I
guess I'll let her speculate as she likes.
But magic tools...
unlike when I showed her Lightning, she's not surprised that I can use
Space-Time Magic.
Perhaps Space-Time
Magic is rarer than Light Magic or Lightning Magic?
No, or maybe that
[storage bag] is quite common.
For now, until I
understand various things, it seems safer to pretend that I have a [storage
bag].
I was told the
location by Melissa-san, and went to the dismantling area attached to the
guild.
"Oh, put them
there!"
I was a little
intimidated by the physique of the middle-aged man with a towel wrapped around
his head, who looked like a craftsman, and stood at the end of the space.
I'm a man who can
learn, so unlike last time, I decided to place the monsters I had defeated on
the way here, pretending that the backpack I was carrying was a [storage bag].
I lined up one, two,
three orcs, which apparently sell for a high price because their meat can also
be bought.
Since I used lightning
and fire magic to kill them, the charred spots here and there were part of the
charm.
"Hey bro, your
[storage bag] is amazing!"
"Five orc corpses
whole?! I've only seen this kind of thing from A-rank adventurers!"
I took out all five
orcs I had defeated, but the dismantling team was in an uproar.
Apparently, it was the
right decision not to take out the goblins...
I told myself that my
[storage bag] held five orcs, and received a green tag.
Apparently, if I hand
this to the receptionist from tomorrow onwards, I can get the sales price of
the materials minus the handling fee on the spot.
Apparently, I can
leave everything to them except for the actual subjugation.
Apparently, the price
is lower than selling them individually, but that's not a problem.
In the first place, my
reason for coming to Grisnia wasn't to make a living, but to confirm the safety
of my classmates in class 1-A, who were summoned as heroes like me.
Although I didn't know
anything, I stood out a little too much in the guild.
The gazes are painful
and the onslaught of recruitment is scary, so I'll go outside for now.
I can gather
information about the heroes by asking around in Grisnia.
Haa, I feel exhausted
even though I haven't really fought.
I want to rest at home
soon...
