Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

After registering as an adventurer, I immediately went to the board where requests were posted. There were many requests for various ranks on the board, giving it the perfect atmosphere of an adventurer's guild.

"Hmmm, nice."

Naturally, there were a small number of requests for A-rank and above, and the rewards were noticeably higher than the other requests.

"In the northernmost town of Kanai, there was a request to defeat a stray land dragon that had come down from the great mountain range: ....... The reward for defeating it is five million ells.

It seems like a story from a distant world. The fact that the reward for defeating the dragon is about 5 million Japanese yen is amazing, but the fact that there are people who can defeat a dragon, even a subspecies, is even more amazing. In a world where people like my father have quit being human, it's not as if there aren't adventurers out there who can take down a land dragon. ......

I'm not sure if 5 million ells is cheap or expensive for a dragon like that. If the money from selling the materials is yours, it seems like a fair price. It's called a dragon, so the price of the materials must be very high.

Thinking about this, I search for a request that matches my rank. One day, I'd like to make a lot of money  By  hunting dragons. I'll have more than enough money when I inherit the position of head of the Farenheit family, the great noble family that rules the vast territory and rich industry of the frontier county, so I may not be able to make money purely by myself for another 20 years.

It might be a good idea to think about money from a young age, but there's nothing better than having money. It would be a shame if I became obsessed with money, but I already have a plan to use it effectively, so there should be no problem.

I'm going to invest in the genius forger, Meiru Arendal, and buy  her formidable talent. And in the future, I'll be able to enjoy a life of ease and prosperity with useful tools!

With this ambition secretly in my heart, I turned my attention to a request form. On the paper, there was a large sign that read, "Permanent request. Please don't peel it off." Underneath it was written, "Seeking goblin defeat. Please come to the counter with the proof of defeat. The reward is 4,000 ells per goblin."

"Goblins, huh?"

I've never seen one before. From what I've heard, they're humanoid demons with green skin, ugly looks, and about the height of a human child.  they are  they  vicious demon that attacks women and children, rapes and kills them,  have almost no intelligence, and is very strong in reproduction. My prior knowledge of it was almost the same as that of the fantasy novels and games I had read when I was in Japan.

Their strength is such that they can kill ordinary women and children. As an E rank demon, it is a good training  target for a novice adventurer.

However, there was one thing that I had to be careful of, and that was when I encountered a group of goblins. Each goblin is a low-grade demon that can be described as a small fish, but in  numbers  they are power. A human running at full speed can run faster than a goblin, so as long as they can escape, there is no problem, but if they fall or are injured, they are in danger. The goblins, with their strong fertility, swarm with a certain frequency, so we need to be careful about that.

"First the goblins."

Goblin defeat is a request for E ranks, but even F ranks can take it without any problem. It's a waste of time for me as I'm trying to get my rank up quickly, and the chores and collection requests in the city for F ranks are just a waste of time.

It says "Do not remove", so I leave the guild without removing the paper. Today, I'm going to eradicate the goblins around Heitburg.

I walked out of the adventurer's guild and headed for my cart, which was located in the cart parking space by the guild. I locked it up with a padlock because it's a very valuable cart with very high performance. So there was no need to worry about it being stolen even if I left it in a public parking space.

"........................"

--As you can see.

I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. My cart was certainly not stolen. However, there were three people who were planning to steal it with all their might, crowding around my cart and rummaging around.

I couldn't believe that there were so many people trying to steal in the middle of the day, right in front of such a crowded street. I was a good-hearted ex-Japanese, who had grown up in a rich and prosperous family. So, first of all, I doubted my eyes. Next, I doubted my mind. Finally, I questioned the humanity of the bastards crowding around my cart.

I was about to be awakened to Cartesian skepticism. I'm a realist, for God's sake!

"What the hell are you guys doing" I couldn't help but doubt the existence of the world!

"Huh?　What's with the kid?"

"What a pain in the ass, ....... Hey, why don't you go home and suck on your mother's nipples?"

The  reactions are understandable.

"Then go home."

""That's not gonna happen. Step away from the cart."

I was very angry when they touched my cart without permission, but they even tried to steal it. There is no reason to forgive them. However, it would be sad if they attacked suddenly and damaged the cart, so I had to ask them to move away first.

"Hmm?　Hey, kid. Is this your cart?"

"Yes, it is. Don't touch  my things without permission."

When the leader of the group heard my reply, he grinned and held out his hand.

"Let me go .""

"What?"

. I think this guy might have a Shotaro complex. By the way, I don't care what you think, but when I hear the name Shotaro, I think of the guy from "San wo Motte Yo", not a certain 28.

"It's not opening !"

"Of course it's because I lock the door.

What do you think it's locked for? Well, this guy is dumb.

"Hey, you little shit!　You don't know shit about adults!:

"Adults don't do this."

As you can see, the man who was upset with me tried to hit  him , so I gave him a [shock] in the on  belly punch, just enough to keep him alive 

Thanks to that, the man who was called Marc by his accomplices was blown away ...  It wasn't normal, so I guess  they  were  trying to steal a cart. I wonder if these guys will cause domestic violence or child abuse ...

Feeling a little uncomfortable, I glanced in the direction of where Marc had blown up. He is covered in rubble after plunging into the wall of the demolition yard attached to the side of the guild, but he is not dead because he is twitching. Well, maybe five or ten of his bones are broken. ...... In any case, he would have been charged with disrespect by my voice, and I would have chopped his head off for real. I'm sure you'll be grateful that I kept my mouth shut.

"What about you guys?"

"Hee-hee!"

I glared lightly at the two cronies standing by the cart, and that was enough to make them run away in fear.

"I won't let them go .

I shot them from behind, aiming at their arms and shoulders, where they would not be able   moving . The two high speed shots hit the shoulders and arms of the two men and they both fell down on the spot.

'Geez"

"Ouch!"

Unfortunately, they got what they deserved. I won't call the  guards because it's too much trouble, but I won't call a doctor as well. We'll let them deal with what they've done on their own. If I call the guards , they'll probably find out who I am, and they'll all be charged with disrespect, at best falling into slavery, at worst beheaded. Sometimes it's kinder not to call them.

Before I knew it, a crowd of people had gathered around me. At this rate, it would only be a matter of time before the guards arrived. I can't condone their brutality, but I don't want to take their lives either.

they managed to get up, but I called out to the two who were still screaming in pain.

"Uh, what was  he called, uh, ...... Mark?　Fran?　　Anyway, that's your brother over there. Make sure you take him with you. And make sure you pay for the broken wall in the demolition yard."

There was no reply.

"Any reply?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Good. Take care of yourself."

I thought to myself, "How can  they be cheerful when  they  have a broken bone?" But I couldn't think of any other way to greet him, so I had no choice.

With the cart safely in tow, I headed for the West Gate, one of the four gates that run east, west, north, south, and west of the Heitburg.

I had a little trouble, but this was my first day as a registered adventurer. For the sake of my good fortune as an adventurer, I'm going to make the goblins who live around here bleed!　Sacrifice!
