Ch 63 -- Refusing To Accept What I Show Them

Hey, Johan, are you around?" Apparently the tough old ojisan with the bald head from yesterday is named Johan .

"What brings you here, Guild Master? Yesterday you said . . . "

"Johan, I'm sorry to ask you to do this but could you close the door and make sure no-one else comes in? I don't want anyone else finding out about this . "

Responding to the serious tone of the Guild Master's words Johan didn't hesitate and immediately closed the warehouse door .

"Right, this is fine . " I said . "I'll get everything out now . " The Guild Master had said he wanted to see everything I wanted to sell so I started pulling stored monsters out of my Item Box . First out were the Orthros and Chimaera which I had planned to keep there forever . Next was the Blue Ogre and four regular Ogres, the Orc King, the Metal Lizard and the Lake Shark . Today's haul from the goblin village massacre followed, a Goblin King, three Goblin Generals, two Goblin Mages and seven Goblin Soldiers aaaand . . . I felt around in the Box . No more monsters .

"That's the lot . " I finished . The Guild Master and old man Johan were stunned .

The Guild Master finally unfroze . " . . . Ah, forgive me but . . . it's just amazing to see . . . " Pardon me, but you did want me to get everything out so I did .

Johan came back to life, his eyes remaining fixed on the monsters on display before him . "Guild Master . . . for me, this is the first time in my life I have ever seen Chimaera and Orthros . . . "

It's too late now but perhaps I shouldn't have brought them out . . . ?

"Myself," the Guild Master replied, "I once saw an Orthros subjugated nearly forty years ago . Back then I remember it took three Adventurer parties, all of whom were rank A and rank S . "

Three parties of entirely rank A and rank S Adventurers . . . that just shows how strong Fer is now, I suppose although right now that supposedly invincible Fenris was lying on the floor and yawning .

The Guild Master got down to business . "We can't purchase the Chimaera or the Orthros from you, the Guild simply doesn't have that much money . Even the Blue Ogre, Orc King, Metal Lizard and Lake Shark will be a big problem for us to pay for but the Chimaera and the Orthrus, I'm afraid . . . " he shook his head .

So they can't take them off my hands? Oh well, I had originally planned to just keep them tucked away forever anyway so it can't be helped .

"Well, please purchase the rest then . " The rejected Chimaera and Orthros went back in my Item Box . Sleep well .

"To think I'll get to disassemble a Blue Ogre with my own hands . . . " Johan's eyes sparkled with the lust of a true craftsman . I listened closely as he eagerly explained that a Blue Ogre was a special variant of Ogre, several times stronger and usually rated as an S-ranked monster . I looked down at the animated rug sprawled at my feet . Fer, you hunted something like this for the fun of it? That's terrifying, kiddo . I asked him about the other monsters the Guild Master had made a fuss about earlier .

Johan-ojisan went on to explain that the Orc King rates about rank A by itself but since it's a King monster it's usually surrounded by hundreds of regular Orc followers so that makes it a class S opponent in reality .

A Metal Lizard is a monster of rank A but physically attacking it directly is pretty much useless since its skin is as hard as steel . Normally to subdue such a monster Adventurers would trap it in a pit and cast fire spells or drown it in water . However to succeed in doing something like that a considerable number of wizards would be needed as support so a Metal Lizard rarely appears on the market unless it is the result of an emergency subjugation request .

The Lake Shark is even rarer, ranked S but incredibly difficult to subdue since it can swim around freely in its lake to avoid attacks . Mostly it seems Lake Sharks are only seen when a drought dries up the waters they live in .

Fer, you really defeated all these monsters like it was nothing? Truly terrifying . . . The animated rug was snoring now .

"You caught the Goblin King, Mages, Generals and Soldiers today?" the Guild Master inquired .

"Yes, we, ah, ran into a goblin village earlier . ""Ah, so there was a village?" He explained the Guild had noted an increase in the number of goblins in the eastern forest and they had planned to investigate whether there was perhaps a goblin village there .

"There's a reward due to you for subjugating the goblin village, you know . " Eh, a reward? That's good to hear . Fer forced me to into attacking the village but if we get paid for destroying it then that makes up for it, a bit anyway . Lucky!

"Dealing with the goblin village single-handed truly demonstrates Fenrir-sama's incredible fighting power . Of course he has already proven his capabilities by subduing the Chimaera and Orthros so it's not too surprising . "

Hearing the Guild Master's words Sui suddenly trembled in her bag and protested to me telepathically .

"It wasn't just Fer-ojichan, Sui pew-pewed a lot of the green guys dead-!" she complained .

I comforted Sui and reassured her with a "Of course Sui killed a lot of goblins . Sui's amazing!" before I explained what had happened to the Guild Master .

"Fer dealt with the top goblin monsters but Sui and I killed all the ordinary goblins . " I ducked my head a bit . "Although to be truthful I only managed to kill a few of them . "

"Ah, I hadn't realised that . So your Slime is really that strong, is it?" Absolutely, Sui is really strong and she can make recovery medicines too . She can do so much . "Guild Master?" Johan interrupted . "This young feller here already gave me a bunch of disassembling to get through to deliver to him tomorrow . If I push on and work really hard I think I can get the rest of these done too by then . " He grinned . "Say the word and I'll show you what a craftsman with this sort of a challenge facing him can achieve . " Johan's impatience to start disassembling the monsters piled up in front of him was clear .

Please work hard disassembling, Johan-ojisan . Oh, and remember to save the edible meat for me .

"Well now that's agreed will you come back tomorrow? We'll have your C-ranked Guild card ready by then and of course I can explain the high-ranking requests to you then . "

"That sounds okay . I'll return tomorrow . " It looked like our worries about the King and the nobles in this country were at an end, but now we have a high-ranking request to deal with . Well, it's actually Fer who'll be handling the request of course but I'm sure he'll do his best .

"Hoi, I'm hungry . " The animated rug had woken up . Yeah yeah . "Remember our agreement?" What agreement was that?

"We'll only stay here in this city if you supply me with delicious meals . " Fer reminded me . Oh, that agreement .

"You remember now . Good . Hurry up and make me a delicious meal . " Yeah yeah . Let's go back to the inn then .
