Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 4

 

4



When I woke up, I was lying on a bed in an inn.


“If you want to stay here today, you must pay five copper coins. Do not leave any valuables in your room. I won't be responsible if they are stolen."


The innkeeper told me when I went downstairs.


Five copper coins are not that much of an expense, so I'll pay it.




--------------




"Oh, I can't accept this request?"


{Destruction of the carnivorous insects' nests}


It's a dangerous name, but the reward is a little higher than that of a giant frog.


However, more than two people are required.


Other than that, others have a little higher rank.


It can't be helped, so let's raise my stats from the giant frogs again today


"You alone?"


A voice calls out to me from behind.


Blonde hair and pointed ears


She's wearing a simple suit of leather armor.


"Yes?"


"I see. I was wondering if you would be willing to accept this request with me?"


Saying that, she points her finger at the request for {Destruction of the carnivorous insects' nests}.


I don't even know what kind of world this is yet.


Maybe she's planning something.


I should be cautious.


"We'll split the reward."


"Okay, thank you!"


But I didn't say no.


Because she was so beautiful.


I must keep my eyes on her.


And keep an eye on the surroundings.




--------------




Such doubt meant nothing.


"Hyaaaaa! Help me!"


The elf slams her short sword repeatedly into the carnivorous insect


And finally, one of them just stopped moving.


"Annoying!"


For me, I just lightly swing my broadsword down and hit it.


It took half a day to destroy the nest.


Mostly to save the elf.


"T-this carnivorous insect is too hard."


Aren't you just too weak?


"Maybe you should start over with the giant frogs?"


"Terrible! I can kill a giant frog properly!"


Really? With your strength?


"I killed three of them yesterday."


"Three?"


"How many did you kill?!"


"Nine yesterday."


"Yes, someone's lying! There's no way one person can do nine in one day!"


Is that for real?


"Then let's do a giant frog next."


"Okay."




----------




"You're an idiot, aren't you?"


"Why?"


Suddenly she's calling me an idiot.


She's getting more and more rude.


"How can you defeat a giant frog with a single blow using a broadsword?"


That's because I'm messing with the broadsword's aptitude.


"Eh? Don't tell me you're Silver Class and not Bronze Class?"


I came across an unknown word.


By class, do you mean like a rank?


"Is there such a thing?"


"No, no, since you're an adventurer, the guild should have explained it to you."


".........It wasn't explained to me."


"......You got the wrong end of the stick, I feel sorry for you there."


Her expression changes every now and then.


"I hear they're there every once in a while. A person who is neglecting his/her duties. I know this from my father."


Do untruthful people appear in a dream too?


She's not very serious either, is she?


"Ah! I just thought of something good."


"No."


"You should partner up with me."


"No."


"I have knowledge. You have power."


"No."


"Why not? I know it's hard for me to say, but I'm beautiful! Why are you saying no?"


"Because there's something wrong in your head!"


"That's terrible! My father said. If a beautiful woman is a little stupid, she'll be spoiled by those who have ulterior motives!"


I think he probably meant, "You need to study a little harder".


After all, this person is a headache.




----------




"Multiple giant frogs again today......"


"Is something wrong?"


That's what the tavern master told me.


"You know, it's not a good idea to push yourself too hard just because you're young."


"No, I'm not pushing myself."


"Listen, Master! There's something wrong with this guy!"


Uwa, the stupid elf interrupted.


"This guy's broadsword can kill both giant frogs and carnivorous insects in one swing. What the hell is this guy?"


"Hoh!"


The master's expression changes.


"At such a young age? Are you using a famous sword?"


"Ah, I'm using this one."


It's probably just an ordinary broadsword.


"It's dull."


It was a dull one.


"This kind of thing is... that's right!"


The master leaves the tavern.


And soon came back.


"Try using this."


It was a longsword.


It's a lot shinier than my broadsword.


"It's third grade, but it's better than that."


"I can't take it."


"I didn't say I'd give it to you. Buy it."


Waa, this master has a strong business spirit, you bastard.


"How much is it?"


"Fifty copper coins."


"Master, that's a rip-off for a third grade, isn't it?"


“Then Twenty-five copper coins!”


"Make it twenty."


The elf is negotiating.


Why are you doing this?


"Kuh, then take it for twenty coins, you thief!"


"It's a reasonable price, you scammer!"




-------------




I got a longsword for 20 copper coins!


I'm tired even though I'm not taking more requests than I did yesterday.


"So, why are you following me?"


"It's natural because we're partners, right?"


Before I knew it, we were a duo.


"Ah, I'm staying at this inn, so goodbye."


"Wait, I have a favor to ask you!"


"No."


"It's cheaper for us to stay together."


"Goodbye!"


"Please! I don't have money!"


"Ehh! What did you do with the money you earned today?"


"No, I have the money, but I have to save as much as possible."


"Why?"


"Because the weapon I want to buy is too expensive ♪"


"Bye-bye!"


"Please, I'll sleep with you! You can use me as a pillow instead! But I can't do anything more than that! I'll at least let you smell me!"


What's with this person, seriously?
