Chapter 61

TL: Fenderson

ED: Yuki

Not only did Gabiina-san see this scene but Grape-san as well .

It is the scene where I lay to rest three A-ranked monsters called Myrmecoleon, monsters that joined the boy of an ant to the heat of a lion, that had cornered Gabiina-san, and then I used a great potion without regret .

The issue is that Grape-san is connected to the guild .

「Nnn… Sorry Alim-chan, it’s guild regulations… I have to raise your rank to A-rank . Even if one disagrees, it’s no good . Got it?

「Yes…」

「Hmm, really your strength is more than S-rank, isn’t it? But, from the number of A-rank monsters you beat, you are A-rank . To become S-rank you have to kill 3 A-ranks later . The monster cores are good as well . 」

It seems to be decided .

Really, I wanted to take my time .

But, it doesn’t seem to be going that way .

Grape-san continues talking .

「By the way… what was up with that great potion? 」

I was expecting that question . I’m already in this situation . I’d like to answer honestly .

「I made it myself . 」

At that Gabiina-san was astonished . Grape-san looks like he has comprehended something .

「So that’s the case, normally one would hesitate to use one as they are extremely high priced . But it stands to reason that Alim-chan would use it in this case . In both cooking and dismantling, no other conclusion than Alim is not a normal person . 」

As expected that a merchant would grasp that .

I am unable to do anything unskillfully in front of a merchant .

Next, Grape-san began discussing what to do with the Myrmecoleon .

「Hmm… Alim-chan is the one who defeated the Myrmecoleons, so naturally the monster cores go to Alim-chan . But what about the bodies? Gabiina-san? 」

「I didn’t accomplish anything . Alim did everything . So, everything should go to Alim . 」

I am going to get everything from the Myrmecoleons . There corpses can be made into armor among other things .

I would really like to divide it with Gabiina-san to reward his hard work, but given he was trying to protect would instead bring him embarrassment instead .

He was saying run away, run away .

「Well then, I will indulgently receive all these corpses . 」

I use my pouch to such up everything .

After a moment, the carriage began to move again .

「Alim-chan, our Mediana Merchant Association looks forward to working with you」 says Grape-san as he leaves the room .

Me and Gabiina-san are alone in the room .

Gabiina-san opens his mouth .

「I’m sorry… I’m… pathetic . I was protected by the person I was trying to protect… also… I will pay you back for the great potion . 」

It was completely not praiseworthy .

I returned the following words to Gabiina-san .

「I disagree . Saying to flee… worrying about me… this makes me very happy… as for the great potion, I have one request . Could you give me something else? 」

「Hou, what sort of favor? Tell me anything I can do」

I present two sets of metal small metal pieces to Gabiina-san and say,

「These are Gabiina-sans spear and shield . This spear is something important to Gabiina-san isn’t it? Because they were made of Mithril… This spear and shield, give them to me to mess around with . Please . I will restore them without fail . 」

「Such a thing… is such a thing sufficient? I mean, you will restore the spear and shield? 」

「No, I will modify them as a please . 」

「……… . . alright, do as you please . 」

The reason I put it this way was so that Gabiina-san would not refuse .

If I had said I would fix it or strengthen it, then it pressures him into paying for it .

I have no intention of taking money (now) .

I just want to make it .

I take my magic room out of my pouch .

Gabiina-san says his astonished expression has worn out .

Aa, I hadn’t made a weapon in a while, I had a bit of creative frustration .

I really like making weapons . Feels like assembling a plastic model . You know?

But, even if I made a lot, I wouldn’t use them much .

As for the expensive great potion, this is the best for me .

「Alim, who are you? These two are obviously better than before they broke . I don’t have the appraisal skill, but I can tell . These kinds of weapons aren’t sold in stores . You were only in the magic room for 20 minutes… and you say you repaired and remodeled these at this unthinkable speed? 」

I will reply to this inquiry .

「Yes, that’s right . I also have the blacksmithing skill . But, I don’t get to produce weapons with often . So I have remodeled these because I find it fun . 」

Gabiina-san replies,

「Alim… you… . no, nothing . Thank you, I will gratefully receive them . 」

It’s 4 hours past midnight now .

It wasn’t very good for sleeping as everyone was awake .

I feel that way the driver-sans view me has changed .

Thus from looking at me with eyes looking upon a cute person they changed to eyes looking upon a great person .

It’s better than being scorned .

Anyway, I was slightly peckish, so I prepared a snack for everyone .

Is my food so delicious after all? The snacks I served were soon gone .

Furthermore, we all played Sugoroku since we were already up . Gabiina-san played as well .

We spent the time this way until breakfast .

We had the same thing for breakfast as the second day .

Various things happened on this return trip, if we are to compare what was different from last time it would be about treating me like a child .

Gabiina-san seems to have regained some of his energy .

Lunch was hamburger steak .

I was asked why such a lavish meal during the day, and I answered that tonight would be very lavish with a smile .

The eyes of the driver-sans sparked at that .

Dinner is an A-rank monster, black crab of Karkinos .

Everyone was surprised and asked me how I got it .

「When I was fishing in the port city, I hunted this guy . 」 at this half truth answer, everyone pulled at face at that .

However, it seems it was delicious, and the driver-sans lost themselves in eating . Gabiina-san also ate a frightening amount .

Because this is the last meal of the trip .

Two hours after midnight .

We have returned to the royal capital . We all say goodbye to each other . It seems that since they are associated with the merchant association that we may meet again in the future .

Grape-san promises to discuss the commercialization of Jenga, Sugoruku, Othello, and sandwiches in the near feature .

And then, I want to receive the chores job reward tomorrow at the guild .

The monsters that where subjugated along the way, other than the Myrmecoleon, were bought by the merchant association, Gabiina-san received 50%, I received 20% and the remaining 30% was distributed to everyone else .

Gabiina-san says parting words, but he is also partaking in the martial arts tournament, and by that time, I hope to see him in the waiting room .

But he does not know . In fact, I have already paid Grape-san an extra fee of 18,000 bells, which is necessary to compete in the A-rank section of the tournament, in order to participate .

I won’t say anything, because it is interesting .

Thus, each of us returned back to our homes .

I had a lot of fun in these six days .

I have obtained a lot of things .

__________

_____

I have returned to the inn 「Hikari」 .

I’ll quickly go to my room .

I enter the inn, and feel something out of place .

Odd… the state of the building, all the lights are off, and it’s already dark… even though it is this late, the back of the reception is lit .

As I approach the reception to see what the situation is, I listen and hear .

「_______ is always, always _____」
