Hunter, literally, refers to a person who is engaged in the profession of hunting or refers to a person who has a specialty in hunting animals for money. Most of them are hunters who have lived in the mountains and wilderness for generations, but with the change of the times, there are also a large number of freedmen who have escaped from farming and hunters who have no way out.

As the aborigines of the Yunman Mountains, the Tooth Wolf Clan has witnessed many hunters who are not skilled in their skills die for various reasons.

Looking at Shulbet, who was full of anticipation, and the gray dew who had been led by their noses, decided to be stronger, "I'm a hunter, I think I can go and help people hunt something, and then come in exchange for the clothes you made." ”

Many hunters die tragically, not because they are not professional enough, but because they ......

"Huh? It's really not necessary. ”

"Please don't let me be mistaken for a trap. ”

"This ......" After making sure that Grey Dew would never give in, Sulbert sighed helplessly, "Then, let me help you measure the size first, right? ”

"It doesn't hurt. ”

"So, you're going to take off the clothes you're wearing now!"

Hubert said excitedly, and personally opened the door for her "guests".

Gray Dew didn't mind this, and followed Sulbert into the "distinguished guest" room on the second floor, which was adjacent to the backyard. The windows of this room are covered by gauze curtains, which not only allow light but also ensure that the occupants of the house are not spied on.

The ornate décor and furnishings were to be expected, but the hunter was surprised——— there was a Akashi lamp lit in the room to fill in the light. It's not something you can buy with money.

"Are you a magician?"

Taking off the dead man's robe, which was really uncomfortable, Gray Lu stretched her arms and stretched her waist.

"No, I'm just a normal human. ”

"The Akashi Lamp that Burns Magic......"

"It was left to me by my grandmother, and my guards have a little light magic to replenish it. Speaking of which, Miss Luxue, you're not the first person to ask that. ”

Gray Lu didn't listen carefully to Sulbert's words, looking at the Akashi lamp that emitted a gentle white light, and in her mind, she couldn't help but think of the "beyond the clouds" that the guy had explained to herself.

Akashi is a mineral that is not uncommon, but it is not a matter of non-grandmaster craftsmen who can process it into a lamp that can be illuminated with magical power. From this, it can be judged that this tailor is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Miss Luxue?"

"Hmm...... Nothing, please measure. Listening to the footsteps of Yuna who brought the door away, Gray Lu narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the solemn tailor in front of her, "Is there a problem?"

"No, you have to take off your animal skin clothes too, otherwise there will be an error in measuring it. ”

At this moment, Sulbert's eyes were like torches, and he looked very serious.

The Tooth Wolf Clansmen were not ashamed of their naked bodies like humans, so Grey Lu did as the tailor asked, and stretched out her claws to remove the deerskin dress that bound her chest and abdomen and crotch.

"Please. ”

"Goo-Miss Luxue, I have to say, you are of such a figure...... Among us human women, it can be called the best. ”

The innate advantage of orcs, coupled with the fact that they have been running and hunting between the jungles of the clouds and mountains since they were young, hide their strong muscles under the tight and tough skin of the gray dew. But she felt that it was not her muscles that Sulbert cared about most.

When Yuna pushed open the door with a loose blobe and entered, Sulbert was staring at Grey Dew with a jealous gaze as she measured her bust with the wide and flat strap.

"So, Miss, how long do you have to measure your bust?"

When Yuna's teasing voice came from behind her, Sulbert turned his head and glared at her viciously, releasing the rope, "Yuna, come here, measure the rest of the size for me." ”

Faced with her master's order, Yuna forced a smile and took the flat rope strap from her hand.

Compared to Sulbert, Yuna, the subhuman maid, moves much faster, but when it comes to reading, she is surprisingly slow. All this is under the eyes of the toothed wolf hunter.

"Miss Lusce, please take off your boots—I think the master may be planning to design you a pair of boots to match your dress. ”

"Ah, then please hold your master first. ”

"Miss Luxue, I promised that I wouldn't touch your ears casually again, don't worry. ”

"I hope so. ”

Under the puzzled gazes of Yuna and Sholbert, Gray sat down on the ground with her tail swinging sideways, and raised her foot to take off the large men's leather boots that had shackled her feet for more than a day. When the gray-haired orc-clad claws were completely exposed to the air, the tailor, who might have a different aesthetic than many humans, pounced on him.

"What a cute wolf claw!"

"Master, don't get in the way of me!"

In Yuna's angry shout, Sulbert's movements remained in a state of rushing forward—her head was held down by a claw that was also covered with wolf hair, and her body could hardly enter.

"Ah, it's time for the 'barrier' magic. ”

"Miss Luxue, your hand ......"

"Didn't I say that, Miss Yuna, I'm a Tooth Wolf Hunter. ”

After roughly explaining the matter of the [Barrier] magic to Yuna, Gray Dew stood up as she looked at the tailor who had become thoughtful again. When it comes to clothing-related matters, this human can indeed become extremely serious.

"So, Miss Luxue, your feet...... Doesn't it usually feel bad in your boots?"

Yuna squatted down to measure Gray Lu's legs, and felt a little itching on the tips of her ears, the human wolf raised her paws and rubbed her ears, "Of course it's uncomfortable, but I, an orc, don't dare to expose my claws directly." ”

"That's right. Looking at the hair on Grey Dew's paws, Yuna scratched her head thoughtfully.

At this moment, Shulbert, who had just run to the other side of the room to make Gray Lu vigilant, took out a pair of beautifully made brown round scalp shoes from the cabinet.

"Miss Luxue, do you want to try this?"

"This doesn't cover the calves. ”

"It's okay to give it a try!"

After Sulbert's repeated pleas, Grey Dew agreed to give it a try.

"There's redundancy in the toe space, which is quite comfortable. ”

After tucking her paws in, Gray Lu didn't feel the same pressure as the big men's boots, but the calf hair between the ankles and knees could not be covered. According to Sulbert, wearing a long skirt would solve the problem, but how could a hunter choose that kind of outfit with limited mobility?

"It's a shame. ”

"It's okay, I can still take those big boots first. ”

After taking a moment to measure the rest of her body, Grey Lu put her close-fitting fur clothes back in place, put on her boots, and walked to the window and pulled back the curtains.

Looking at the height of the sun, it was already about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

"All right, Miss Sulbert, Miss Yuna, the dimensions have been measured, and I would like to leave the ox cart with you if possible. ”

"It's all right, it's just that you ......"

Looking at Yuna with a puzzled look on her face, Gray Lu put on her hat and picked up her robe, climbed out of the window and landed in the backyard. This startled Hirsch, who was collecting clothes in the yard.

"Miss Luxue, where are you going?"

"When I first came, I saw a building on the side of the street with a sword and a wine glass sign painted on it. ”

After giving Yuna and Sulbert such vague explanations, Grey Dew pulled out a pair of armor from the bullock cart crate, and then took a quick step out of the backyard.

Minutes later————

After covering her forearms with iron armguards and putting a hard leather armor on her torso, Grey Dew put on her cloak and hurried down the street, arriving at the tavern with a special sign at the door.

"Welcome to the night, miss. ”

Greeted by the tavern maid, the toothed wolf hunter, who had hidden his paws in his long sleeves unnoticed, strode into the place where it looked like he should be able to find a job. A large part of this is her "kind" ——— "orc-humans" divided by humans.

"Hey, beautiful young lady, would you like to have a drink with us?!"

As soon as she walked to the bar, which was covered in sword marks, before Gray Dew could speak to the bartender, a gnoll mercenary who was drinking at a table next to him stood up, walked over and reached out and pressed her shoulder.

It smells the scent of a female toothed werewolf, which is also in the canine family.

"Please, take your dog's paw away, I don't have time to deal with you right now. ”

"Oh, that's a pity. ”

In a brief eye contact, the gnoll, who was obviously bigger, was defeated. Amid the laughter of his companions, the Gnoll Mercenary sat back in his place and gulped down his wine to hide his embarrassment.

"So is it really appropriate to use my power in this kind of place?"

"If you want me to use my claws directly, I can prevent you from intimidating it. ”

The beast spirit, who was in tune with her soul, didn't reply to the gray dew, so she tapped her claws and tapped twice on the bar to call the bartender.

"Miss, what do you want to drink?"

"I think-"

Just as Grey Dew drove the gnolls away with indifference, and was about to continue to ask the bartender if there was any work to do, two silver coins slid down the bar and into the kobold bartender's hand.

"Rook, two glasses of Flying Fish wine, count me in. ”

"Wait a minute. ”

The bartender turned to go to the wine cabinet, and a duckman with white feathers walked up to Gray Dew and raised his flippers to greet her. Seeing that he is so familiar with the bartender, it seems that he is a regular customer of this tavern.

"Mr. Duckman, what are you doing? ”

"Miss Wolf, are you interested in making extra money?"

"Uh-huh. ”

Gray Lu pulled a high stool from the side and sat down, but did not answer directly.

"I can see that you want to find a job to do, but ...... You don't seem to have the necessary documents. ”

"Papers?"

When he was in Yunman, that guy once told himself that even if he wasn't a mercenary, he could go to the bartender in the tavern to take some bounty tasks. Although you need to share the account with the bartender afterwards, it is very convenient.

"That's right, now that the principality and the kingdom are in conflict, war may break out at any time, so the scrutiny of the mercenaries is also stricter. ”

Looking at the duckman dressed in hard leather armor with three narrow-bladed scimitars around his waist, Gray Lu folded his arms and tilted his head noncommittally, "So?"

"Therefore, the life of the black workers is a little difficult. ”

"But I'm not a black worker. ”

The duckman's beak opened and closed slightly, as if laughing.

"I see, you're a newbie. ”

"Pretty much. So, what do you mean by extra money?"

The tavern suddenly became lively because two drunken pig-headed people beat each other, but the atmosphere between the werewolf and the duck man became extremely cold.

"Flying fish wine for two, please use it slowly. ”

After putting the glass down, the kobold bartender consciously left and went to the side to wipe the glass. Seeing this, the duckman pulled a straw out of his coat pocket and drank to himself.

"The wine here is still as good as ever, but I can't stay here for the rest of my life. ”

"You're from the seaside. ”

Picking up the wine glass, Ash Dew also took a soft sip - it was indeed delicious. At least, better than the kind of wine that Rivat poured into his mouth.

"Ah, it's simple...... Help me solve the hack that plans to kill me. ”

"What about the pay?"

Looking over the duck man, he was exposed to the innermost table in the tavern, and saw two duck man mercenaries who were releasing a dangerous aura. They've been staring at this side since just now.

"Twenty Dominion silver coins, two-thirds of my belongings. ”

"Less. ”

Despite knowing very little about money, Grey Lu followed her instincts and said so.

"After killing them, their money bags are yours. ”

With that, the duckman took out a short knife and a cloth bag from behind his waist and handed them to Gray Lu.

"It's a deal. ”

"In the Lower Duck Terran sailor Gagaya, the first time we met, this is a deposit. ”

"The contract is completed, and the Tooth Wolf Clan Hunter Luxue will help you. ”

The glasses collided, and the two glass-bearers drank them all in their own way.

Later, under the guidance of the old mercenary Gagaya, Grey Dew went to the mercenary guild at the innermost part of the tavern to register for a new identity. At this point, she has a metal tag tied around her neck.

"Ga, rookie mercenary Miss Luxue, would you like to go for a walk in the slums with me?"

"Well, it's a pleasure. ”
