Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 55

Chapter 55

In the end, I couldn’t make up my mind to sell off the World Tree Ortem, so Mea and I walked around the city and looked for a place that I could enter to earn some money .

After asking around, I heard that there is a facility called the Adventurer’s Support Station that will buy the skins and horns of demonic beasts .

If they can get money just by hunting monsters, they won’t need any preparation or connections .

I’m confident that as long as I can hit them hard with magic, I can do anything I want .

If we’re interested in it, I was told that I should just ask at the facility, so I decided I’m going to go there for now .

If this is the case, it would have been better to collect the Garm’s body as well .

I thought that James would have known about it, but it was too late .

Blurting it out wouldn’t help .

We quickly entered the Adventurer’s Support Center and lined up with Mea for the reception desk .

The line was quite long .

It seems to take quite a bit of time to process each and every one of them .

“Speaking of which, can Mea use magic or something?”

Mea doesn’t carry a staff or a weapon with her .

It might be better to leave her in the city when I go hunting demonic beasts .

“Umm~, if you ask me if I’m good enough to fight demonic beasts…… . when Mea tried to use her magic, the people around her didn’t look too good . ”

“I- I see……”

I jumped into a story that I shouldn’t have stuck my neck in too much .

A single piece of jewelry on the forehead is going to get you that much hara.s.sment .

“Move, move, you guys! Get out of the way! Master Gaston is coming through!”

As I waited in line, I heard a loud voice behind me .

I turned around and saw a large man standing at the reception desk of the Adventurer’s Support Center .

He had indigo hair and a thick beard .

He was the type of person who couldn’t tell the boundary between his frowns and his beard .

In his right hand, he held the upper body of the demonic beast and in his left hand, holds the lower half of the demonic beast and dangled it .

A pair of crony-like people were attached to Gaston’s left and right sides .

It was probably one of them who had just shouted out loud .

The three of them all seem to be out of character .

Even if it was the same threesome, Noswell and the others were still prettier .

The trio walked parallel to the line and even moved to the front of our row .

Gaston pushed the man at the front of the line out of the way and lined in as if nothing had happened .

“Um, this is troubling . You’ll have to get in line properly…”

“Get in line?”

Gaston said foolishly and put the magical beast in his hand on the floor .

Then he turned around and grabbed the man in line behind him by the shoulders, bringing his face much closer to the man .

“Hey, we’re you in line? Or did you just stand there in a daze?”

It’s clear as day that he was in line .

You can’t be serious about asking . He’s threatening him

“U-, um…… well …”

“Stop whispering! Speak up!”

Gaston says as he barks .

The man shrugs and replies, “I just happened to be standing there . ”

“You do not stand in a confusing place, you dimwit!”

Then Gaston pushes the man’s shoulder vigorously .

The man slams his back against the wall and then stands up, woken up by the people around him .

The two cronies were giggling and laughing .

“…… Well there really is a typical thug like that, isn’t there?”

The receptionist and Gaston had been pus.h.i.+ng and shoving each other for a while .

He wouldn’t listen to a bit to that kind of handiwork, he must have a strong sense of justice .

Even if they succeeded in turning him away here, it was obvious that he would have an unnecessary tailspin later on .

I hope the receptionist doesn’t cause any recriminations .

In the end, the other staff members admonished it and let it pa.s.s reluctantly .

If the impossibility pa.s.ses, the reasoning retracts .

It was the same in the previous life, but perhaps it was more p.r.o.nounced in this world where the laws were lax .

From the beginning, this is a place where people who seem to make a living killing magical beasts gather . Security must not be very good .

“They’re…… . . disgusting people . ”

“We have to make sure we don’t get targeted . ”

It wasn’t a pleasant sight to watch, so I thought about beating him up with magic, but I restrained myself .

If I mess up, He could conceivably come back later with his friends to hara.s.s us .

If that happens, it will be a problem for Mea .

I shouldn’t get involved .

When Gaston and the others finished their business, they laughed loudly and walked out .

…But when I see that kind of inexplicable thing, I feel like I’m going to get involved somewhere in the near future . I’m worried .

I’d like to think I’m just reading too many comics .

After waiting for about thirty minutes, it was finally my turn and Mea’s .

“I’m sorry for my failure earlier . ”

As soon as they met face to face, the receptionist bowed his head .

This person has been doing this to all of us since a while ago .

He must be a newcomer . If you’re that uptight, you’ll collapse from heartache .

“No, no, I was just watching in silence myself, so it’s painful to be apologized to like that……”

I think you just have to think of that kind of thing as a disaster and forget about it as quickly as possible .

It would be tricky if they ate it up poorly and remember your face .

“Actually, I only just arrived in town here a few days ago, so can I start by learning about the facility?”

“Are you from a place without an Adventurer’s Support Center?”

“Yes, I and this girl grew up in a rural area . ”

“Well, so let me explain… well, where do I begin?”

The receptionist waddled over and pulled out a black book .

It was thin but large . Looks like a manual .

Maybe he’s a newcomer after all .

According to the receptionist’s explanation, the main purpose of the Adventurer’s Support Center is to exterminate magical beasts, support adventurers, and to discover talented people .

The extermination of demonic beasts is the duty of lords, and in order to do this efficiently, most cities have an Adventurer’s Support Center

Some lords have set up their own private armies to exterminate them, but that’s too costly, and they’re not likely able to respond to a sudden Magical Beast Disaster Monster Panic .

It’s doing so by buying monster pelts, tusks, meat, horns, etc . at a steady value . They are trying to get them to actively hunt and reduce their numbers, is apparently their aim .

They try to use them as much as possible, but if they can’t keep them all, they will dispose of them .

In addition, they also support adventurers by helping to recruit friends on the board and publis.h.i.+ng a newspaper to provide the minimum amount of information, I’ve heard that they are trying various ways even if it’s plain .

I heard that they don’t make a middleman for requests such as escorting or finding pets .

It is said that there are often times when you write on a bulletin board to recruit collaborators and then negotiate with individuals on your own, but the Adventurer Support Center is basically no-touching .

Probably, there are many cases of conflict between the client and the adventurer .

I didn’t want it this way, it’s my fault for not telling them first .

It would be unbearable for the staff to stand in between such arguments every day .

In order to receive a.s.sistance from the Adventurer Support Center, one must register their name and magic crest as an adventurer .

But this is not a bad thing for adventurers .

The achievements of adventurers are managed by the inst.i.tution .

You will start out as an F-level adventurer, but someone from the inst.i.tution will judge you based on your achievements and they promote adventurers who meet the specific requirements .

The advantages of adventurers getting a higher rank are many .

Each time they move up in rank, they are issued a certificate, which they can show elsewhere as a guarantee of strength .

In order to keep more high-ranking adventurers in town, they have many opportunities to get preferential treatment in the form of support .

As a high-ranking adventurer, access to dangerous areas and even possession of dangerous creatures is a matter of course in some cases .

And above all, if you reach C-level or above, you will be named by a n.o.bleman and have the opportunity to be called upon .

This is the last of the three main purposes of the Adventurer Support Center, to find talent .

I don’t see it as an advantage for me, as I’m sure I’d be restricted, but that’s the reason why many adventurers are desperately trying to raise their rank .

Well, it’s like a full-time job from a freelancer .

“And that’s it…… . . that’s all for the basic explanation . Um, are you okay?”

“Yes, I understand very well . So, for now, can you register me and Mea and get me a certificate? And I think I should buy a map of the area and a newspaper…… . . ”

I glance sideways at Mea .

“Eh? Ah, yes, I’ll let Abel take care of it . ”

Why are you asking me, Mea, you say .

But it’s Mea who is paying for it .

If you’re going to buy something that you don’t need, it’s reasonable to ask her permission . I don’t think it’s too late to do that .

The newspaper has a daily-changing list of demonic beasts to redeem, sightings of demonic beasts, recommended hunting grounds, adventurer’s columns, and They’ve got adventurer rank fluctuations, a little rumor, and everything from discount coupons for food shops to a four-panel comic strip .

We’re in a position that needs as much information as we can .

It can’t hurt to buy it .

“I understand . Well then, I will give you two certificates for the registration for 2,400 G, a map for 500 G, a newspaper for 600 G . G, for a total of 3,500 G . ”

Hearing the receptionist’s voice, Mea quickly stepped forward .

Mea took out a coin from the bag and handed it to the receptionist with a natural movement .

“…… Isn’t it getting normal for me to ask for money?”

“……Mea sorry . ”

“Huh? For what?”

It seems like it’s becoming normal for Mea too to lend me money .

This shouldn’t be . I punched myself lightly on the cheek to punish myself and brace myself .

Mea wasn’t looking at me, but the receptionist was looking at me with a ‘what the h.e.l.l is this guy’ kind of look .

“W-well then, here’s the map and newspaper . I’ll give you a number tag, so if this number is called, please move over there . You will collect the magic crests there . ”

A magical crest, is like a magical trait .

It doesn’t measure the person’s magic power, it is simply a personal identification technology .

It’s like a fingerprint of magic power .

I receive the number tag and leave the receptionist .

……This place looks like a government office from my previous life .
