Chapter 359
Legend Chapter 359
「They were quite weak.」
The herd of Bicorns had been in the area for a while. They were savage monsters with poisonous horns. However, they met their fate at the hands of four adventurers about to reach B rank, vanishing like butter melting on a hot plate.
At Marka’s words, Coan nodded as he replied with his usual smile.
「Individually, Bicorn’s aren’t a match for Rei and the others’ strength. But, with a Griffon like Set chasing them from behind, they couldn’t work together to fight us off either……if they had been a smarter monster, even in that situation, they might have been able to work together to save the stronger ones at the expense of the weaker ones.」
「Umu. After all, they were low ranked monsters.」
Although Marka said that, Bicorns, which were considered D rank monsters on their own and C rank in herds, were not something that ordinary adventurers could kill. This time, it was because they were all C rank adventurers, including two extraordinary factors in Rei and Set, that they had been cleared out so easily.
If ordinary adventurers had been asked to subjugate the herd of Bicorns, there would have been some injuries and, at worst, some adventurers might have died.
The two horns that grew out from Bicorn’s head were very poisonous. A strike from their hoofs also had to be considered as they were one size larger than an ordinary horse. The fangs that grew from their mouth to chew meat were also a threat.
「……Anyhow, the Bicorn herd subjugation has been completed. After this……」
Alnicht, who was listening to Marka, looked around. Seeing his gaze, Residence nodded slightly.
「From the beginning, I didn’t expect them to struggle against a herd of Bicorns. After all, one of them has a title.」
「Then, next is……」
「Yes, please do as planned.」
Alnicht and Orkide both nodded at the same time at Residence’s words.
(Although it’s necessary for the guild exam……I don’t really like to deceive people.)
Marka gave a small sigh, but she also knew that it was necessary to become a high ranking adventurer. Without saying anything more, she went over to where Rei and the others had killed the herd of Bicorns.
「Well~, that was pretty easy. Is this really B rank? Well, it’s not that strange with my skills.」
Roble proudly muttered in front of the nearly 30 dead Bicorns lying on the ground.
He had killed 5 Bicorns with his spear, and given the results, it was no wonder he wanted to brag about it.
「Overwhelmingly more Bicorns were killed by Rei than you.」
「That said, I couldn’t believe Rei was throwing spears to attack from that distance, you know? Especially considering the price of spears you don’t plan to use again. There’s no way I could afford that.」
Rei cut off the tails, which were the proof of subjugation, as well as the two horns, which were the most dangerous parts, without caring for Roble’s look towards him..
Normally, he would have wanted to skin the Bicorns, take out their magic stones and cut up their meat, but he judged that there was no time to do it during the rank up test.
Maybe he understood that, Set just grabbed the dead Bicorns with his claws before bringing them over to Rei.
(……Set can easily carry dead Bicorns but can’t fly with two of us on his back?)
Stee, muttered to herself in confusion as she watched Set.
However, Rei didn’t seem to care as he continued to cut off the tails and horns of the Bicorns that were lined up along the plain.
Even though it was just a temporary party, these were still monsters they had killed together. Since they hadn’t decided on how to divide everything up yet, the horns and tails were just put aside in one place for now.
「Thank you for your hard work everyone. I will accept the Bicorn herd subjugation, which was also the goal of your test, has been completed.」
「I think there’s still more to talk about though.」
Roble muttered at Residence’s words as he looked over towards Marka.
Marka herself listened to Residence’s words in silence without a change in her expression despite Roble looking over at her.
She probably intended to hide it, but Stee also turned to look at Orkide for a moment.
Only Ons stayed silent without a change in his expression.
Perhaps Residence wasn’t paying attention, he just took out a magic whistle from his chest and blew it to send a signal to the carriage drivers.
「Oh right, I’ll leave it to you to decide how to split the Bicorns. We can’t just leave right away, so it’s not a bad idea to take a break so you can discuss and decide.」
「Um, is it fine for us to decide on our own? I mean, this is the rank up test……」
Stee asked, but Residence nodded to tell her there were no issues before he went back to converse with the nobles.
Seeing that, the rest of the rank up test participants judged that there really weren’t any problems. They got together to decide how to split the 30 or so Bicorns.
……No one noticed that the nobles, including Residence seemed to be paying attention to what they did.
「Then, what do we do? As for me, I would like to take the Bicorns I killed as my share.」
「Wait a moment, in that case, Ons-san, who spent his time assisting us, will have too small a share. You might say that you killed a lot of the Bicorns with your spear, but did you know that Ons-san was following you to block any other Bicorns that might have obstructed your attacks?」
「Guh-, no, well, it’s true that I was able to kill the Bicorns with his help……y-yes, that’s right. What do you think Rei? After all, there’s no doubt that you killed the most this time. Especially considering Set’s contribution.」
Roble asked Rei to change the topic.
Hearing Roble’s words, Stee stopped moving.
Even Stee had to admit that Rei had played the biggest role in the Bicorn subjugation. However, conversely, if Rei decided to split the Bicorns based on the number they had each killed, she couldn’t really oppose him either. After all, from Rei’s point of view, they might be seen as stealing what he deserved.
However, Stee’s worries were immediately resolved by Rei.
