Conrad Town.

“Core stone? Intact? Seriously?”

Next afternoon, after leaving the town to subjugate the grey golems.

In the guild office reception desk, Kazane, Yumika, and Master, the three of them standing there.

“What do you think about them?”

Receiving the thing that they submitted, Pran was surprised.

“Even if you ask me, well, good job getting them.”

Six core stones. The result of creating golem once again after Kazane’s magic power have restored in the morning and went hunting with it, they were able harvest 4 more core stones.

“There’re also two bags of shards, three horned rabbit’s horns. One meat. Three pelt.”

“Wait! How do you get this core stones intact as it is?”

“That’s a secret.”

Master answered happily.

From what Kazane and Yumika heard, core stones are used as material for canes or as a substitute of magic stones. Normally it’s used by refining the broken shards.

Gathering it intact is really hard, if you don’t have anything as hard and as strong as the golem to pin the golem, you won’t be able to collect it.

By the way, the horned rabbit meat was used as last night's supper and today's breakfast, that’s why they only have one portion left.

“Well, alright. I don’t have the right to ask one’s live hood. Then, since the requested stuff are the shards, then the core stone will be bought by the guild with a fair price, is it fine?”

“Selling it one by one is a pain, so please take care of it.”

Hearing that Pran takes out a note.

“Please wait a minute. Ermm, the price for one now is 450…”

“Eh?”

“In total its 2700 kirigia. Added with the reward and horned rabbit…2950. Is it ok?”

Yumika was surprised with those amount, even master whistled ‘hyuu’. Only Kazane who still only understands the currency value vaguely doesn’t show any reaction.

“That surprisingly a lot.”

“Well, around here no other adventurer sells undamaged one, and since there’re some suspicious movements at the northern region, merchants starts buying up stuffs.”

Hearing Pran’s words, Master’s eyes narrowed.

“War?”

In response to Master's word, Kazane and Yumika stares in wonder. They didn’t think they would hear that phrase here of all places.

“It’s still unconfirmed. But being vigilant is not a bad thing.”

“Understood. I hope it’ll end with only skirmishes like usual.”

Having said that Master took the compensation and led Yumika and Kazane to the bar adventurers used next to it.

“Oi Johnz, having lady in both sides, not bad!”

“Even if you said lady, one is just a kid. Is your head alright?”

“You bastard! Little girl is the best!”

Against the words of men that come up one after another, Master stroked his beard and raised his voice.

“Shut up! That’s not it! They’re newbies you see, newbies!”

Then, their gazes gather at them, suspecting his words. Mainly, to Kazane who can’t be seen other than just a child. Receiving the piercing gazes of the men, Kazane can’t help but being startled.

“Err..m. I am Kazane. Please treat me well.”

“My name is Yumika. Please take care of me.”

Hearing their greetings, the surroundings once again burst into laughter. That’s because those girls are too well mannered and even greets them.

But, since Johnz was glaring at them, they quickly settles down.

“Well, please save the getting along moderately. Just remember that behind them is us, the Zenis firm.”

Kazane tilts her head, but Yumika looks at Master and said ”That Zenis…”.

“Well then, I want to drink with the money I earned with the both of them, so who wants to join?”

“Ooo---!!!” Hearing those words, the silent bar is now full with agreeing shouts.

“I’m sorry. But if we don’t at least do some introductions, it might get troublesome later on.”

In the corner of the now merry bar, Master and Yumika sits in the opposite side of the table.

“No. You don’t have to worry about us. Thank you very much.”

Novice adventurers, a duo of two girls, moreover one of them looks like a kid. Without Master backing them, they will be looked down, thought Yumika.

“Well, I think I am bit loose since we earned some money. Ah, I’ll give you your share normally, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Hah. Then Master, what’s with the Zenis firm?”

“Well…”

Zenis firm is an organization that control Winlard town that is located in the north of Conrad town. Not only in Winlard town, their influence can also be felt in all nearby towns.”

“I thought of helping my benefactors, but surprisingly I earned a lot. Making a connection towards promising youths is also part of my job, you see.”

“Promising, huh. Well, perhaps so.”

Saying that Yumika laughs.

“Not only Kazane, I think you too look promising.”

Hearing that unexpected word, Yumika says

“Thank you very much.”

Knowing that it’s not simply flattery, Yumika accepts it obediently. Because she also gets a skill when she hunts horned rabbit yesterday, she has more confidence now. It’s a skill called [[Innate talent: spear]] , and it’s different from a skill that is stolen from monsters like Kazane’s, it’s a special skill for herself.

Moreover in last night's and this morning's practice, Yumika seems to be able to absorb Master's teachings so quickly.

“Let’s set that aside for now.”

“Yes.”
Since a while ago his gaze has moved into the crowd of people.

“Why can Kazane get along so well with those men?”

“Ah. It’s been like that since a long time ago. If it’s something that interests her, she will become assertive.”

“I see. So one eyed snake usually appears right in front of Ashira desert.”

“Ah Kazane, you can asks anything about mineral to me.”

“Really? Then, is the place for blue crystals still at Sidonia mine?”

“Nay, since that place has become dungeon. But, perhaps only because it is hopeless to get it there though.”

“Kazane, do you want to eat egg tart?”

“Ah thank you.”

“Oh no. she’s even more cuter than my daughter. Can I take her home?”

“I think your daughter will cry.”

“I think it’s more than ‘getting along well’ though?”

The somewhat negligent Yumika.

“Well…I guess”

Even though Master mutter like that, Yumika thought he might feels that he’s too late to join, as he looks at the noisy crowd around Kazane.

Kazane    : My level doesn’t increase, but I received [[Charge]] from the horned rabbits. This one is an active skill.

Yumika    : My level increased to 12. I also learned [[Innate talent: spear]]

Kazane    : It’s a rare skill that can only be learned occasionally when it was still a game. It increased all spear related growth and chance to learn secret skills by 80%.
