Hyaahhh sry for the late update XD
[Editor: Arhael]
In the end, because it can't be measured, it was being reported as a precaution.
Then I went to see the selling off of the Moon Stone, but I saw Adrian and Charon who seems to be puzzled.
“Charon, what’s wrong?”
“Ah, Yumir-san …… No, it's already purchased, but this …….”
Saying so, Charon handed me a document.
The value written there was ……
“Ha, 40 M?”
“M?”
“N, no, I'm just talking by myself”
Because I have been playing games for a few months I carelessly used terms in the game.
M means mega. If we use standard numbering, 1,000 is K which shorten from Kilo, 1,000 of K is M shorten from Mega and 1,000 of M is G shorten from Giga. [TN: 1,000=1K, 1K*1,000=1M, 1M*1,000=1G]
In other words, 1 K is a thousand, 1 M is a million and 1 G is a billion.
Then 40 M will be 40 million Gil……
“As expected it can be paid by cash at once, but it will be paid with Guild a card though….”
Onee-san spoke to me who look dumbfounded.
No, this is wrong, isn't it?
“Umm, this calculation …… isn't it wrong?”
“Ah, you noticed? In this town, a lot of Moon Stone is being mined, so it's cheaper than other places”
“No, you mean cheap ……”
It's 40 million Gils or 400 million yen. Seriously?
“That's why, please accept it Yumir-san. My hand is trembling if I kept such a large sum of money.”
“Eh? We aren't distributing it?”
“What are you talking about, you defeated it alone didn't you Yumir-san?”
“We fainted in the beginning after all. Rivi also only shot one magic anyway, so we can't accept it as expected”
Aren't these people not greedy?
In front of my eyes is a salary man's lifetime annual income you know!
“Well we also want money too ……but, I already earn decent money. Besides, my pride will be affected if I receive this.”
“Even if you say that, but if not because Rivi-san I wouldn't be able to do the final blow, so please accept at least half.”
Even with half, I will reach my amount target. Perhaps.
It should be possible to buy a house in this city and spend my life leisurely with Alicia.
Well, it will be something in the future though.
Anyway, for me who thinks like a small citizen, I have no choice but to receive this amount of money and being flustered.
Although I managed to push a quarter to Rivi-san at the end, somehow my head was feeling restless and fluffy.
“Yu-nee, fuwafuwa(fluffy)?”
“Yeah, a little …….”
“You have finished talking? Well then have a match with -“
“I won't.”
I put down the branch chief's offer.
Why is this person want to have a match with me so badly, I wonder?
“Well, as I mentioned before, I want to grasp your competence as an adventurer in this city and I also want to see your personality. You can see someone's character with fighting. “
“That’s … there may be such a thing”
Certainly, your personality may appear from a match.
Those who want to win with any means, those who admit defeat gracefully, those who attack in blind spots and those who focus on defense. It's no exaggeration to say that the process is a manifestation of your personality.
As Tarhan's branch chief says, it should be like my back shield. And he doesn't understand my personality because it's the first time we met.
So in order to understand, he wants to exchange blows with the sword … it's a muscle brain in a sense, but it's very simple.
“Well, I don't mind if that's the case …… it's just a match right?”
“Ou, no one said to kill each other. The training ground is on the back so please come with me.”
That's why I had to have a match with the branch chief. So troublesome.
“Is branch chief strong?”
I asked Yaju-san while warping my sword wrapped with a cushion in the waiting room.
In a match, we use a weapon, but adventurer's weapons are a variety. Aside from practice wooden sword, they have many types of weapons such as axes, spears, hammer and many others.
It seems like the striking part of the sword is warped with a high material cushion so it's safe.
The cushions are made from a monster thread called Earth Spider.
It's flexible, light and strong, so it's suitable to be used for such a thing.
“Branch chief is strong. He is counted as the strongest person in this east continent”
“Uwa, I want to refrain to fight with such a person”
I wrapped a cushion around the Claymore I just bought.
After swinging lightly and checking the balance, I went to the training ground.
“Well, you may be able to win if it's Yumir though.”
“I hope so”
“You doesn't seem to be aware, like the swing earlier, all I can see is that you are like a material artist”
“I also heard that Yaju-san have a considerable ability though?”
I feel like I have heard that he is a top adventurer in this city.
Below him is Irvin.
“You're right. Irvin is about a knight level I guess. I …… if I can be honest, I'm about a knight captain level I guess?”
“Irvin-san, surprisingly low isn't it?”
“Cough cough. A young man like that, while not having a teacher, being already a knight is pretty elite “
Speaking of which, he did want to know who was my teacher, didn't he?
Perhaps, Self-teaching is his complex.
After going through the hallway and descending the stairs, I reached the training ground.
They say you can fight here using swords, bows, and magic. Of course, the injury is self-responsibility.
“Oh, you came? I've been waiting for you”
“Wait a moment!?”
In the center of the training ground, Legur branch chief was fully armed.
In the surroundings, you can see some seats for spectators to see.
Perhaps because the branch chief has been on a business trip for a long time, there were dozens of spectators.
That's fine. More importantly –
“That, is there any meaning of the cushions!?”
“Ah?”
Right, the branch chief's weapon was an ultrheavy hammer with a length of over 2 meters.
If you got beaten with such things, the cushion has no meaning!
“Don't worry, I'll go easy on you”
“No, I'm going to be crushed, because I'm a weak girl”
“Weak?”
“Yaju-san, be silent!”
I silenced Yaju-san who was arguing.
I'm cowardly in the first place, so if you show me such an intimidating weapon, my motivation will wither.
“Ah, I want to run away … I want to go home …”
“Yu-nee, do your best!”
“Yumir-san can win!”
I dropped my shoulder, then Alicia's cheers flew from the audience seats and also Charon.
“Currently the branch chief chance to win is 80% and 20% for the newcomer. Is there no one who wants to bet on the newcomer!?”
“I'll bet 2,000 for Yumir, you won't see such delicious game often”
“Then I'm also, 1,000 for her.”
Adrian-san and Rivi-san were betting carefreely.
Moreover, the amount is big. I wonder if I should lose …….
“Well then Yaju, be the referee”
“Understood”
“Ah, geez …”
I walked forward and held my sword.
To be honest, it's stupid to expose my ability in such a place, so if I can't win without skills, let's surrender immediately.
“Well then, Legur vs. Yumir. First match – start!”
Yaju-san started the match somewhat feeling carefree and interested.
I'm not planning to use skills, but it's a little too much to lose. At first, without being careless, I'll observe Legur-san.
Speaking of Legur-san, I thought he'd come attacking overbearingly, given that he is very assertive when requesting for a match, but in reality, he was just standing there and observing me with his waist bent down in an imposing manner.
Thoroughly “observing” coming opponent is very hard.
Although I can move at a considerable speed, it's not as fast to exceed human sight.
There are many tactics to not rely on my physical abilities, but I might be exposed if I'm seen and it gave me a bad feeling.
“What's wrong, not coming?”
“You also, unexpectedly cautious aren't you?”
We were having a chat, but apparently, the other side seems calm. This may be due to experience.
Since it can't be helped even if we glared at each other, I dashed at once to make an opening and released a thrust lightly.
In response to this attack, I'll be able to grasp the opponent's ability.
Unexpectedly in that situation, Legur-san dodged my attack, moved to the side and countered.
He managed to dodge my three consecutive attacks in quick succession while maintaining his composure.
- even I could break Irvin-san's stance with that, but as expected it's different this time.
In response to my third attack, this time Legur-san's attack came flying.
But he isn't serious. Yes, it's not serious … but three consecutive blows. Moreover, it's speed exceeded Irvin-san and Yaju-san.
However, I still can manage to deal with it.
I dodged the attacks with minimal movement without destroying my stance.
Astonishment sounded from the spectator seats.
“Are you serious!? She dodged the counter from that branch chief?”
“I would pass out with that technique, but …….”
“…… It’s pretty”
I feel that the impressions that I don't understand were mixed in it, but I don't care.
If the opponent uses counter, then I'll also counter accordingly.
There're skills to automatically perform counters from the second job of the knight. But I won't use it.
I realized when my sword was broken. To honor my skills, I'll do a counter on my own will!
I released a blow after the counter.
One, two, three …… releasing blows while measuring the timing.
“- There!”
“Oto!”
However, that attack was dealt with easily.
It's impossible after all? Beside, Legur-san's balance is good. Although he is overwhelmed by my speed, there's no waste on his movement.
He immediately fixed his posture and prepared for defense, when my attack loosens, a merciless counter will come flying.
Sometimes that I'm taking a counter base tactic, and surely its sense of stability surpasses Yaju-san. (EN: Sorry. I kinda don't understand this part 😀 )
“Seyaa!”
“Damm, is it not fast enough?”
He dealt with my attacks and counter-attack a heavy blow with his stable defense. To Legur-san's ability, I also increased my attack speed.
Gang gang. The striking sound was fierce like a drum roll …… and then Legur-san took a distance unexpectedly.
“I give up, that will be enough! I can't accompany you more than this.”
“……Eh?”
A sudden surrender declaration.
I understand the meaning of it and made a stupid expression.
“I was planning to show off my capability, but … I have to surrender because I can't keep up with a speed faster than this. It's my loss.
“Well then, the winner is Yumir”
Yaju-san declared my victory in response to Legur-san's words.
Screams and cheers are rising from the audience seats. That reminds me, these guys were gambling.
“So amazing. I've been an adventurer for a long time, but I've never seen anyone so fast even in my active years.”
“Yu-nee, you did it!”
“Right? Let me tell you, but her seriousness is not something like that.”
Alicia jumped off into the training ground to cover the amazed voice from Legur-san. Didn't you have difficulty in moving because of muscle pain?
Chasing after Alicia, Rivi-san came into the training ground. Adrian-san was …… receiving money from the betting. Also Charon. You too …….?
“Seriously? Well, I feel like I was being tested here though”
“Ah, that's … … I’m sorry, I was trying out my technique because I'm not using my abilities for a while.”
“With that speed, you are still seeking for techniques? I won't be able to handle it anymore if that is the case”
“Because I need it to fight with enemies, for her”
“- it seems so.”
It's because of the fight with the Moon Golem, Rivi-san's voice also sounded cautious.
“Well, whatever. You also don't seem like a person who wants to win by any means anyway so I can be relieved. About Hill, I'm counting on you.”
“A, ah. Yes.”
Apparently, I was finally able to gain the branch chief's trust.
