> Workers, second.

“Oh, team leader, you’re back~

” “Welcome back.”

As soon as he pushed open the door on the first floor of the hotel, Hecklong heard a polite man’s voice.

The man who greeted him was dressed in armor, and on the outside of the armor was an armor burqa painted with a holy seal.

With a meteor mallet hanging from his waist and a holy seal with the same pattern as the armor burqa around his neck, he looked like he was about thirty years old.

Next to the man is a girl who looks like she should be over fifteen years old, her bright hair is cut short shoulder-length and her facial features are very straight.

It is not so much a beauty, but a temperamental beauty. It’s just that the whole gives people a puppet-like coldness.

In her hand was a staff in the form of an iron bar about her own height, engraved with countless patterns that looked like words and symbols.

Wearing a loose robe, under which is a little defensive armor, he looks like a magic chanter.

They were Heclan’s companions, Escher Ifu Lil Fürth and Roberdike Goldron.

“Why just the two of you, Imina?”

Heclan, who looked at the fact that there were really only these two companions in the store and could not see the figure of the person he cared about, asked curiously.

Before the two teammates could answer, a familiar voice came from behind him.

“Hey, stay out of the way, leader.”

Not… So it was right behind you.

Hurriedly giving way to the road, the woman who appeared behind Heclan, he was all too familiar.

It was the last remaining member of their squad, and his fierce face did not smell of fat.

The most attractive thing about this woman is that she has ears that are much longer than ordinary people. However, it is only half the level of forest elves, and yes, her race is half-forest elves.

Speaking of which, most of the existing half-forest elves in the empire migrated from the border of the forest elf kingdom.

The creature of the forest elf is thinner than that of humans, and when you see her limbs, you know that she has also inherited this bloodline, and the whole person looks quite slender, and her chest and hips are completely devoid of the roundness characteristic of women. It looks like an iron plate embedded in it, and judging by the physique alone, even if you look closely, you may mistake it for a man for a while.

She wears light leather armor. The bow and arrow that is usually equipped is not carried on the body, Imina, that’s her name.

“Did you just go out too?”

“Help the boss run errands, after all, it is so ripe.”

Scratching his head, Hecklang took a few of the usual drinks from the smiling boss and sat down next to a few of his companions.

“That… If there is nothing else, let’s start our internal meeting of the Four Strategists. Hearing

this, the original expressions of everyone who were chatting disappeared.

They leaned slightly against the table and leaned their faces towards the other companions. Even though there were no others around, they couldn’t help but talk like this, which was already an occupational disease for them.

“This commission, the task is entrusted by Count Furre.”

“The content is to investigate the remains of tombs in the royal capital, with a total reward of three hundred and fifty gold coins, two hundred in advance, and the remaining one hundred and fifty to be delivered after completing the task.”

“Oh? It is a rare task where the deposit is higher than the final payment, and it is still such a huge amount.

“That’s right, and not only that, but according to the survey results, there will be additional bonuses.” However, the magic items found all belonged to the count. Gemstones, precious metals or works of art are valued and then divided equally. In addition, the client also negotiates with other worker teams at the same time, and may let more than one team investigate together.

“Is it actually a cooperative mission with other squads?”

“Yes, and according to the client’s intelligence, this mission can be characterized as a general relic investigation, but this time the ruins have never been found before.”

As his words fell, the atmosphere of the scene changed completely.

Two hundred years ago, when the demon gods were raging, several nations were destroyed. Not only human countries, but also sub-humans, alien races and other countries. These ruined nations sometimes hide rare treasures – magic items.

Exploring and discovering these treasures is the dream of adventurers and workers.

As a result, adventurers and workers alike are constantly searching for unexplored ruins. And now, this relic is in front of their eyes.

“It’s in the kingdom, which means it’s not a legitimate errand, so I didn’t find those adventurers but entrusted it to us.”

Although several of his companions were discussing enthusiastically, Ai Xue, who had short blonde hair, could no longer listen.

(The remains of undiscovered tombs must have a lot of treasures…)

If she could get a portion of those treasures, even if it was only divided equally, she would be able to pay off her debts.

“Speaking of which, there is a strange man coming to find Ai Xue today, team leader.”

“？ Is there such a thing. Because

he had been out and about with the mission principal, Hecklong was completely unaware of what was going on in his companion’s mouth.

Looking at everyone’s gaze, Ai Xue paused for a moment and said heavily.

“It’s causing trouble for everyone, and I didn’t expect him to find here…”

“That man, I owe him some money.”

“Owe money!?

Hearing his companion’s words, Heckelon couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. Of course, not only Heckron, but also Imina and Robberdike were also surprised.

After all, the money they earn as workers is divided equally, so they know how much their peers are paid. Thinking about the amount of money you get, it’s hard to imagine how you can owe money to others.

“Well… Three hundred gold coins owed …. In the end, it’s all family ugliness.

“Everyone should also know that my family was originally a nobleman, but it was later deprived of its status by the Blood Emperor…”

“Of course, there is nothing wrong with this alone, after all, it is not uncommon for nobles to decline because of that lord. It’s just—

” “My parents have been living like aristocrats until now. Of course, our family didn’t have that money at all, so they borrowed money from some bad places to supplement the family. Listening

to Ai Xue’s words, everyone looked at each other.

No wonder Ai Xue has been engaged in the activities of workers with them for more than two years, and after so many adventures that will kill her if one wrong step, and making a lot of money, Ai Xue’s equipment has not changed significantly.

Now, they finally know why.

For what happened to Ai Xue, the companions angrily expressed their views on this matter.

As the protagonist, Ai Xue shook her head, saying that she no longer cared about these situations, after all, she did not leave it alone after her parents made a mistake, but has been trying to remedy and repay the favor for such a long time.

Now all she thinks about is to leave the house with her two young sisters after paying off the loan for her parents.

After recovering from the matter of loving snow, Heckron, who was the team leader, clapped his hands. The crisp sound caught everyone’s attention.

“So, should I take this commission?”

“Accept, I think so.”

“There’s nothing wrong with it, and I haven’t taken such a decent job for a long time.”

Workers don’t always get jobs. They did wipe out the undead in the Kaz Plain two days ago, but it was a piece-paid eradication work, which was a bit different from the work with a client.

“Well…”

“—if you’re worried about me, I hope you don’t.” Even if you don’t take this job, there are other ways to make money. Hearing

the words of their own silly girl, the three of them met their eyes, and then Imina laughed.

“It’s not. How can it be just for you to take this task, you think, just exploring a ruin, the reward is so much, there is no reason not to accept it at all. That’s right, Rob~

” “That’s right, it’s not for you, it’s to sleep in the various treasures that may exist in the ruins.” Right, Heckelon.

“Hahaha, did you hear it, Ai Xue, this job, we took it.”

“… Thank you. ”
