When I was resting in the shade of a big tree, tired from capturing the dungeon, someone asked if I was a guild scout for some reason. What the hell is he talking about?
As if taking my silence as an affirmation, the man continued to talk with excitement showing on his face while I was thinking as such.
“Ano, I am sorry if I’m being rude, but could I ask which guild is scout-san from? And another question is, what kind of skill is needed to get scouted?”
I see. I finally understood what this man was talking about. It’s just as he said, he probably misunderstood me as a scout from some guild.
Various changes happened in the world since the appearance of dungeons, and one of the changes is the establishment of an adventurer's guild.
As the name implies, it was an organization made for gathering adventurers. There are various types of guilds from famous guilds to weak guilds. Well it’s just like a company belonging to adventurers.
Entering famous guilds was said to be greater than entering a large company. That’s why many adventurers try to show off their talents as much as possible for the sake of entering a famous guild.
The Scout that he mentioned is the first person that discovers promising adventurers. And it seems there are scouts who only scouted those who have excellent skills and scouts who scouted those who have talents that can’t be seen from their status.
That’s why, these guys who misunderstood me as a scout were expecting that I would see their talent. But unfortunately, I was not a scout.
“Sorry to betray your expectations, but I am not a scout. Just a normal adventurer.”
“I-Is that so? I am sorry, it seems like I have misunderstood.”
“Well, that’s fine. Why did you think I am a scout in the first place?”
“It’s because of how you looked at us adventurers from a distance, and from your expression too, as you looked pretty tired. Even though they joined a guild, scouts are just like salarymen after all. And salarymen always look like they’re dying. That’s why…”
What kind of prejudice is that? Apologize to all salarymen in Japan! Eh, wait a minute. Do I have that kind of face right now? Honestly, I was a little hurt by that.
Well, putting aside what I thought, the guys who misunderstood me as a scout went back to the dungeon when they knew I was not one. I guess I should continue my capture soon too.
Although it was uncalled for, my stress was relieved a bit by the previous conversation. And I don’t want to have that kind of dying expression ever again.
Just like that, I remotivated myself and continued my capture. In the end, I captured the dungeon for 40 times—which means 40 levels up.
Day 5
And finally, the moment that I was waiting for arrived. I captured this dungeon 190 times in the last 5 days, and a total of 200 times if I included the earlier ones.
『You have captured this dungeon for specific number of times.』
『Bonus Reward – Level increased by 15』
『In the future, you won’t get any rewards for capturing this dungeon』
“Finally!”
I shouted with all my might because of how happy I am right now.
