Summoned To Another World
At The Guild...
Liani rushed to greet them, her relief palpable.「I'm so glad you're back!」Iris smiled, a mischievous glint in her eyes.「Me or Jay?」「...Blushes... Wait, what?!」「Gotcha! ...Giggles... I'm just kidding.」「Well, don't joke like that! People talk, you know.」「Yah, I know.」Liani recovered, turning to business.「So, did you complete the job?」「Yah, here you go. ...Puts 10 pairs of ears on the tray...」Liani stared at the small, hairy trophies, her jaw dropping.「Wow! You caught ten in your first try! That's amazing and unbelievable!」「So, are you going to use the ears for something?」 Jay asked.「No, we'll store it away to keep a record of a job completed. And we'll do that with all the jobs you do. ...Goes to the back...」【So it will be similar to a bank statement, then.】 Jay thought, his mind already cataloging the system.「But I gotta say, that job was kinda easy.」「Yah, and we completed it even without any gear, too.」 Iris agreed.A rough voice broke the moment, dripping with scorn.「Tch, that's just beginners luck.」Iris’s smile vanished.「Seems like we have a hater.」「Yah, seems like we do.」 Jay noticed the tension instantly.「And it's more than one. Yah, and... ...feeling pissed... I don't like the way they're gazing at you right now.」Iris giggled, appreciating his protective nature.「Wow, so you do get jealous!」「Yah, it's always been like that.」
Liani returned quickly, counting out the payment.「Here you go: thirty silvers.」「Thanks. Say, Liani, can we use any of the Were-Rabbit?」 Iris inquired, hinting at their hidden haul.「Um, yes... You can make some really quality leather armor with its skin. But its resistance to magic is around C-Ranked.」「OK, then what about its meat?」「Well, they go for one silver, and the core goes for two silvers.」「Hmm... What's that?」 Jay interjected.「It's essentially a monster's heart.」「Hmm... So, that will also equal thirty silvers.」Liani's eyes went wide with sudden realization.「Wait... are you saying you have the monsters' corpses with you?!」「Yah, but we hid them somewhere no one will find them. C'mon, Iris, let's go to a slaughterhouse or something like that.」「Wait! I know someone who will buy them from you!」 Liani cried out.「OK, sure. We'll wait.」Liani dashed out again and returned moments later with a distinguished man: Viscount Xander Arand, her father.「Err... Good afternoon, Viscount Arand.」 Jay greeted him, playing the polite youth.「Just call me Guild Master while we're here. So, I've heard you two have Were-Rabbits with you?」 Xander's eyes were sharp, calculating.「Yes, we have ten.」 Iris confirmed.「So, can I buy them from you?」「Depends on how much you're willing to pay.」「OK, how about a ten times increase of their original value?」Iris smiled, a predator's grin.「You must really want them that bad.」「Do we have a deal or not?」 Xander pressed.「...Giggles... Oh, we have a deal.」「So, how do we know you'll keep your word?」 Jay questioned, ever cautious.「We can draw up a contract after this.」「OK, sounds good. ...They drew up the contract... OK, here you go. ...Opens his DS and 10 WRs fell out... All ten, as promised! So... ...Clears his throat...」Xander surveyed the massive, slain Were-Rabbits on the floor, a grudging respect in his expression.「...Chuckles... You're a cunning individual, Jay Lancer.」
