Chapter 154
Feelings of Gratitude
Translator : PolterGlast
Upon entering the Guild
Master's Office, I noticed that in addition to the usual mountain of
paperwork, there were four large hemp sacks sitting near the entrance.
Navigating around the sacks, I headed toward the Guild Master.
"Graham-san, you're here already. It's sudden,
but the reward from Lightmira's Guild Master has arrived."
"Yeah. I was curious how much it came to, so I rushed
here right after hearing the report. ...So, how much did the materials go
for?"
"I haven't checked the contents myself. Here is the
reward I was handed."
The Guild Master pulled a hemp sack from under his
desk and placed it on top. The sound of clinking metal echoed through the room,
and from that heavy sound, I could predict that a substantial amount of money
was inside.
"Thank you. May I check the contents right away?"
"Well, of course. Also, I was told to pass on the
message: if it isn't enough, just say the word."
" I
seriously doubt I would go so far as to ask for more than this, though..."
Saying that, I checked the contents of the hemp sack.
Inside, it was filled entirely with gold coins.
And there were easily at least a hundred of them. I only
defeated one Cruhamilion... is it really okay to receive this much?
"There's a massive amount of gold coins in here; is
this amount correct?"
"I don't know the details, but I don't think it's a
mistake. After all, I heard the monster you defeated this time, Graham-san,
had been tormenting Lightmira for over a year. He said all the rare
materials were handed over as well, so I don't think it's strange for there to
be a large amount of gold coins."
"Is that so? Well, I'm grateful regardless."
"Also, the large hemp sacks at the entrance are also
part of your reward, Graham-san."
"These sacks too? ...What on earth is inside
these?"
"Beats me. Just like the reward money, I haven't looked
inside at all, so I have no idea what's in those sacks."
They are quite large, and I can't even guess what's inside
these four sacks. With only one arm, I can only carry two at a time, so
depending on the contents, perhaps I should donate them to the Adventurer's
Guild.
With that in mind, I decided to check the contents of the
sacks on the spot. Inside the nearest sack was—likely ores.
It was filled with a large quantity of ores like iron ore
and copper ore. They seem useful... but their clunky shape makes them very
difficult to carry.
If the others are also ores, I might as well donate
everything except one sack. Thinking that, I opened the second sack, and inside
was not ores—but a massive amount of clothing.
They didn't look particularly valuable, so I don't know the
intention behind bringing them. ...However, clothing is something I'm grateful
for.
Gree and Anne,
as well as Ria, Tricia, and Maud, have almost no clothes.
I was just thinking of buying some, and considering the future, these new
clothes will come in handy.
Incidentally, the third sack was also clothing, and the last
sack contained items usable in battle. However, they weren't expensive items
like magic tools, but only simple combat items like smoke bombs, flash bombs,
and sticky grass that could be used for traps.
Medicinal herbs were lined at the bottom; the sense that
they had scraped these together from nothing was overwhelming. I truly
appreciate the sentiment, but... I think I can donate just this fourth sack to
the Adventurer's Guild. There are surely plenty of adventurers who would
want these.
"Graham-san, what was inside?"
"Ores, clothing, and combat items."
"...Hm? What is that about?"
"There's no consistency, so I don't really know, but I
think it's a gesture of gratitude. I'll leave the combat items here, so please
give them to rookie adventurers or something."
"You mean for free? I think they'd sell normally, are
you sure?"
"Yeah. As for money, I received plenty in the reward
money."
It must have been a struggle to bring these four large hemp
sacks, and since I'm fully satisfied with the reward money anyway, I'm fine
with giving away the combat items for free. I will gratefully accept their goodwill,
and use the clothing and ores with care.
"In that case, I will accept without hesitation. Thank
you, Graham-san."
"No, I just received them myself, so no thanks are
needed. Please pass on my thanks to Adwell from your end, Guild
Master."
"No, no. Since it was something you received as a
reward, Graham-san, it is only natural that you be thanked—"
"I get it, I get it. For now, I want you to hold onto
the reward money as usual. Also, I can't take all the sacks home at once, so
I'll come back to pick them up later."
"Understood. I will keep them under strict management
until you come to get them."
I took just five gold coins from the sack for now, then
entrusted the rest to the Guild Master. Then, carrying the sack
containing the iron ore, I left the Adventurer's Guild.
