47 – Episode 47. Lucky Day

Defensive battle for a garrison outside the empire.

The first mission I started after becoming an adventurer was somehow able to be completed successfully as the demons and beastmen withdrew midway, even though the damage was severe.

It was after returning to the guild that I felt free to write a report about what had happened and submit it to the receptionist.

“Yes, adventurer Woo Hyo-seong. “With the completion of the mission, the report of survival and return has been confirmed.”

“…Is this the end?”

I finally felt a rush of relief at the receptionist’s assurance.

Now that I have realized that the matter is over, I have had time to reflect on what I have gained and what I have lost through this incident.

What I got was the reward I received from participating in the garrison defense battle as a low-level adventurer, and some merit points needed to advance to the adventurer rank.

And a small change in the aptitude score that had been stagnant for two years.

Aptitude value

Body: C+++ Skills: C++

From noble mtl dot com

Intelligence: C- Senses: C+

Spirit: A+ Mystery: F

Yes, my mental aptitude rose from A to A+.

It was only a +1, but it was not a growth that could be taken lightly, considering that Grade A was practically the limit of human beings.

In fact, it was this mental strength that became the decisive factor in the fight with that damn lazy guy, and that mental strength had grown even further since that fight.

I worked as a porter for two years, and other than the addition of a + to my body, not much has changed. Do the wounds that don’t kill me make me stronger or something?

Well, I don’t really feel it, but I like that the system recognizes my growth.

“… “The problem is that the loss is greater than the gain.”

Yes, it is true that in life, when good things happen, bad things tend to happen even bigger.

Compared to the benefits of a small amount of compensation and an increase in mental strength, the losses suffered during this mission were quite significant.

I had to say goodbye to someone I wanted to be with in the future, and even if I tried to pretend I had forgotten about it, the reality that I had invested all my money in was shattered.

Damn, after I return the ego weapon, I have to get a new weapon. Do you think you can get a used one with just emergency funds?

“You are the adventurer Woo Hyo-seong, right?”

Just as I was feeling such sorrow, a guild employee suddenly began to approach the receptionist who was continuing the formalities.

There was a large backpack tied behind him as he called me, and it crashed right before my eyes! It fell with a sound.

“What is this?”

“Well, it’s a processed product of the demon corpse that adventurer Woo Hyo-seong killed.”

The corpse of a demon.

Now that you think about it, it was said that demons can be used as material depending on the individual, but if it was a demon I killed, does that mean the guild dismantled the corpse of the lazy person?

“When the directors investigated those demons, they said they were quite high-level. “I heard that even though the level is a bit low, considering the potential, you are at least an executive level member of the Demon King’s army?”

“Yes? “That guy is at executive level?”

“If we combine the testimonies of the adventurers who were with us, it is clear. “You’re truly amazing, even though you’re a rookie, to single-handedly take out a monster that can change the terrain!”

It is true that the power he had was not at the level of an ordinary demon, but I would have guessed that he still had the potential of an executive level.

No, if you think about it, it makes sense.

In fact, because of the guy’s annoyance, I took all the attacks with my body, and after the fight intensified, I poured out all my strength and immediately entered a state of exhaustion.

He must have been a guy who was so bothered by everything that he had no interest in merit or promotion, so it would have been natural for him to remain a soldier even with that much power.

“In addition, I think the guild will give me a higher evaluation due to this incident, and my rating may go up a few units in future evaluations.”

On the other hand, the guild, which only receives results, would rate that monster relatively highly.

I thought I received undeserved evaluation because of that, but no matter what happened, the result of me dealing with that guy doesn’t change.

Everything I gain from defeating that guy also goes to me.

“So, what’s in this backpack… ….”

“Yes! 80% Of the processing materials, excluding fees, taxes, and impurities created during the dismantling process, will go to Adventurer Woo Hyo-seong!”

Heavy pouch with bones, carapace, tendons, etc. Neatly organized.

An unconscious exclamation escaped my mouth as I realized that each and every piece of what could be called ‘high-quality materials’ had been brought in.

“Awesome.”

No matter what, they say that life is a waste of time.

If you play like a dog for two years, you should hit the lottery at least once.

****

Of course, I still can’t shake the feeling that it’s excessive, but since the guild also said that they will follow the rules, there is absolutely nothing to worry about legally.

So, thinking of this as an achievement I had achieved, I thought about how I could use it. After thinking about it, I immediately decided to grab my luggage and go to Tacia’s workshop.

Whether you sell the material and turn it into money, or use the material yourself and make it into equipment.

I thought it would be a good idea to entrust the consultation with her blacksmith in addition to returning the ego weapon.

“hahahaha! There bro. “The backpack on my back is very thick~?”

But while I was heading to my destination with such excitement, I encountered uninvited guests.

The men in leather jackets who occupied the middle of the street were presumed to be thugs who, despite their pretense, were taking money from others.

“But what about this, bro? “We’ve just occupied this place for a long time!”

“Yes, this is our area~!”

“Leave everything you have right now and get out!”

The gangster subordinates giggling behind the Mohican, who is presumed to be their leader.

When I faced them, I sighed and quietly removed the mask that was hiding my eyes.

When I was in the guild, I used it because I couldn’t get rid of the notoriety of being a warrior slayer or something, but sometimes that notoriety helps erase annoying things.

“Get out of the way when I say nice things. “Because I don’t have time to deal with small children like you.”

“hehehehe, being arrogant… …. Kehehehe! Um, that guy!?”

The moment when one of the swaggering bullies recognizes me and expresses shock.

On the other hand, the leader, Mohican, who did not recognize me, could not understand his subordinate’s reaction and only expressed his doubts.

“What, why are you so surprised?”

“Oh, that’s it, brother. “I saw this guy last time I went to the guild, and I think he’s the famous warrior slayer!”

Yes, there is someone who recognizes me.

The story of trickery is limited to when you find yourself in a place with few people.

Unless such an opportunity arises every time, you will have to do some pastime to make a living, and there is a good chance that you will see me by chance while wandering in and out of the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Aha~! Come to think of it, I heard a rumor. “I heard you almost killed a warrior in the guild?”

On the other hand, there is this guy with a mohawk who is giggling as if he has heard rumors even though it is my first time meeting him.

The subordinates around him were very nervous, but his expression was actually relaxed, as if he had some trust in him.

“I heard that as soon as he was revived by the priests, he started trembling and screaming, so it must have scared him quite a bit. hehehehe.”

It’s not just a rumor, there’s even eyewitness testimony that he almost killed a real hero.

Nevertheless, does showing confidence clearly show that the current arrogance is not just bravado?

“But in the end, aren’t they the ones who die if you stab a hero? “No matter if you are a hero or a warrior slayer, as long as you have a weapon that can kill you, there is nothing to be afraid of!”

“… “It sounds like you have the means to defeat me.”

“hehehehe, if you’re interested, you should show it.”

Shahahahak! A sharp dagger pulled out of my arms.

It may look ordinary on the outside, but considering that such an ordinary item is the basis of his confidence, it is not a situation that should be underestimated.

“Hey bro, do you know what kind of weapon this is? “It’s a dagger made by processing the fangs of the Demonic Venom that lives in the Demon World!”

“It would be better not to belittle it just because it looks ordinary. It is an object that secretes a poison that can send not only a hero but also a person with full of vitality like a bear beast to the goal with one hit if you just inject magical power into it!!”

-Wow.

The moment when the vibration sound caused by injecting magical energy occurs in the dagger.

The Mohican confidently licked the dagger and soon began to show off and close the distance between me.

“Keuhihihi! Will my brother be able to compete with me and not get stabbed at least once by this dagger… Cough!”

And before even swinging the dagger, the body slumps down.

“Cough, keuh…Ugh!”

Afterwards, the head of the bully, who had vomited blood, fell to the floor, and his body began to fall as if paralyzed.

This was a natural result since he openly licked the poisoned knife.

What is it? Are you an asshole?

“Ugh! “My brother collapsed!”

“You coward! How dare you induce my brother’s habits through provocation and make him look like this!?”

“…Isn’t the guy who had that habit and bought the poison dagger in the first place a fool?”

Is conscience an erogenous zone?

Why do they talk sh*t about someone they don’t know, after they take the first step?

“Even if I fainted because I was acting like an asshole… …. Do you plan on continuing this any longer? “If you leave it like this, that kid’s internal organs might melt and he might die.”

“Ugh, ugh! I can’t help it. Now is the time to retreat! “You remembered this kid’s name!”

“We’ll see, Woohyo, the warrior slayer! “I will never forgive you the next time we meet!”

No, it’s not Woohyo, it’s Hyosung.

No matter how much fantasy guys put their last names last, they still call people from other worlds by their first names, so why are they doing this to me?

… Since the last name is the last name, is it really just the last name?

“By the way, it’s a poisonous dagger.”

Well, anyway, the robbers we encountered on the side of the road probably retreated.

I quickly picked up the daggers that were lying where they fell and looked at them.

A dagger that secretes poison just by injecting magic power into it.

Seeing that it oozes blood as soon as it touches the tongue, it seems that it can create poison that is fatal to the human body depending on the injection of magical power.

“It looks quite expensive, but… They live without the law anyway, so there’s no need to report them to the guards.”

The body of the guy I caught was in the treasure pile, and I also picked up rare items along the way.

I am so lucky today.

****

Of course, I think about it over and over again, but don’t forget about life.

There are good things and bad things, and most of the bad things that happen in this world can lead to death.

This time, I was lucky that the robber was a two-headed man, but since he had everything, the risk of being targeted by others would not be small.

So, I proceeded with as much alertness as possible, and eventually arrived safely at the workshop where Tacia, the owner of Ego Weapon, was located.

“Tachia, are you there?”

The moment we returned on time for the promised return deadline.

As he was the one who willingly lent me the Ego Weapon, I wouldn’t do any harm, but since you never know what might happen, I decided to keep my guard up even after entering the workshop.

“Tachia, aren’t you there? Mr. Tacia…….”

-aaah.

The sound of pouring water coming from the basement of an old workshop.

I felt that this in itself was proof that someone was there, so I immediately took the stairs leading to the basement where I heard the sound.

Is Mr. Tacia over there?

I’m a little concerned about hearing the sound of water coming from the workshop, but……. It’s probably not strange to hear that cold water is needed for things like quenching.

“Mr. Tacia. Are you working hard…. “Wow!”

But what I encountered in such a light-hearted place was an absurd sight.

As soon as I was frozen in place, afraid to face it, the woman holding her back started moving her body towards me.

“Come on, Tacia. That look…….”

Yes, Tacia Firoy is there.

Although I was the real owner of the ego weapon strapped to my back, I was unable to even say a polite greeting to her, let alone hand her the weapon to her as I stood still in her place.

Now, her body and hair were wet as if she had just washed up in the bathroom, and the only thing that could hide her voluptuous body underneath was her hand holding a towel covering her body instead of clothes. .

A very voluptuous body, barely covered by a wet cloth…….

“Ha, ha…….”

The moment I realized that I was exhaling hot breath like that.

Her lower abdomen, which had been shrunken as a result of the injury, gradually began to gain strength.
