Chapter 138 - It Was The Wrong Monster

It Was The Wrong Monster

‘Yay!’

‘It’s dead!’

‘It-it was pretty weak!’

After he saw that it was dead, the Proud Wolf came out of the shadows.

As always, the slimes started to put the defeated monster into storage.

The money from these materials would be used to buy food for the slimes..

Well, there were also times where we killed weak monsters and they ate them directly.

‘All right, let’s continue.’

‘Understood!’

I said to the Proud Wolf once the slimes had returned after collecting the body.

...After that, we were able to safely reach the next town without being attacked by any monsters.

“....Ah, it seems like a normal town.”

I muttered after taking a step into the town.

No one was watching us and the guards at the gate looked like they were half asleep.

It was a peaceful atmosphere.

Apparently, this town was called Iriarch.

I didn’t know anything about this place...but it seemed considerably safer than any town I had been in, up until now.

Every time I would go to a new town, I would end up getting involved in some kind of trouble...

I mused about this as I headed for the guild.

Looking at their quest board would give me a good idea of what this place was like.

“...Ahh. It really is normal...”

I said as I scanned the quest board.

They were all the usual hunting quests and other physical work.

There were quests from residents and they weren’t all about firewood.

This was normal...

After experiencing my share of strange towns, this was really comforting.

It was with such a feeling that I looked through them...until a certain quest caught my eye.

D-Rank monster. Hunt the Small Tiger.

Reward: 100,000 cicols.

...I had killed a tiger monster on my way here.

It was probably the Small Tiger.

In that case, I might as well make a report of it.

However, D-Rank...

That seemed a little low, considering I had to use 3 Fireballs while using the special armor... Perhaps it just happened to be strong against fire.

Well, if I was going to be paid 100,000 cicols for a monster I had just happened to encounter and hunt down, I couldn’t complain.

And so I stepped out of the guild for a minute.

Up until now, I always had the slimes take out the materials inside of the guild... But they would always ask me about how Slime Storage worked, which was annoying to have to explain.

It could not be avoided if there was too much stuff to carry...but this time, that was not the case.

‘Take out the tiger monster we just killed.’

‘Okay!’

And so I moved to a secluded place and had them take out the monster.

Then I put it in a bag and returned to the guild...where I dragged it to the counter along with the hunting request.

...I had put it in a bag because I didn’t want to alarm anyone by dragging a corpse around town.

“I want to report the completion of this quest. ...It’s fine if it’s something I happened to kill on the road, right?”

“That’s fine. ...Do you have the monster with you?”

“Yeah.”

So saying, I took out the tiger monster from my bag.

I hadn’t made sure that it was the Small Tiger...but it was a tiger monster in this area, so it made sense for it to be the Small Tiger.

It would be rather embarrassing if I was wrong...

“...Huh?”

The receptionist raised her voice when I took the monster out.

I don’t know...it did not seem like she was looking at the monster that she was expecting to see...

Could I have brought in something else?

“Is it...the wrong one? It’s a tiger monster, so I assumed...”

“Yes...it’s quite wrong...”

“I see...I’m sorry. It was wrong.”

And so I put the tiger monster back in the bag.

I suppose that meant that there were other kinds of tiger monsters in the area.

And the one that I had killed was not the one they wanted dead.

...I suppose getting 100,000 cicols for something I did on the way here was too good to be true.

I scolded myself and moved away from the counter.

That’s when the receptionist called after me.

Happy New Year! Thanks for reading!
