Episode 66 Attic

"Then again, didn't you say you were going to crusade against ogres?"

"Oh, sorry, I took a moment to think."

As I drank Calf, I wanted to hear from Leos about the crusade I hadn't heard about the previous night, but before that, something bothered me.

"When you came to visit us in our absence, there was a sign on the door that we were going to subdue the orcs"

"Ah, most of the crusade requests are made for the sake of the orcs."

"Uh, isn't that a request scam?"

"It's not a hoax, I haven't confirmed what the monster looks like, but it's not uncommon for there to be traces of livestock being eaten and killed.

If a monster does exist, even if its appearance is not confirmed, an inexperienced adventurer may receive a commission to defeat the goblin and be injured if they are unable to defeat the goblin.

If you make a crusade request as an orc, a certain number of adventurers will come, so if it's a goblin, you can subdue it without any problems, and even an ogre, it seems like you can drive it away.

"But aren't the attributes of orcs and ogres different in terms of the value of materials?"

"Yes, ogres are not delicious after all, and orcs are more profitable as materials."

"So you mean an unpaid job?"

"No, if it's an ogre, it's included in the crusade success reward. Even if the content of the request is an orc, as long as the crusade against the ogre is confirmed, you will be paid appropriately. "

This is a big loss for the customer, but it doesn't seem like the guild will accept any further requests without paying a success fee.

Since the rewards for success vary widely between orcs and ogres, it seems that the guild is taking measures such as splitting up or delaying the payment of customer rewards.

"I see, but if you think it's an orc and it turns out to be an ogre, wouldn't even an inexperienced adventurer be able to drive them away, but not be able to subdue them?"

"Yes, that's true. However, in this case, if you tell the guild the reason, you can cancel the request and it won't be counted as a failed request. ”

"That is, if you think it's impossible, you're going to retreat directly?"

"That's right."

Reios nodded with a satisfied expression.

"After drinking the calf, the hangover seems to have lessened significantly."

"Yes, Hua Wuming is indeed very talented, if you are an ordinary adventurer, it is difficult to get out of it all."

Shure shuddered and mumbled as he brought the slightly cooler Calf to his lips, but I honestly couldn't stand it a little.

"Well, if you've been through so much pain, you've learned something."

"What the hell is that left eye?"

"This is..."

When Leos asked, I told him how I had lost my left eye.

If it weren't for the forced confrontation with the kobold, I probably wouldn't have lost my left eye, but I don't know what happened to Miguel and the others.

Maybe Mr. Zeor arrived in time, and the three of them would be unscathed, or they might have been eaten to death before they could have time.

I acted because I didn't think Mr. Zeor would be able to come, and I lost my left eye, but all three of us survived safely, so I have no regrets.

"Sure enough, Hua Wuming is very talented, I'm not crazy"

I explained Miguel's uneasiness, but Schuller's assessment did not change.

"I was able to measure the distance to the support and make a last-minute decision, so it wasn't just recklessness."

"Is that so..."

"Of course, the adventurer survived and left the fruits and that's it.

"Of course.

I feel like my work hasn't been in vain because I feel recognized by Shure and Leos.

Even after finishing the calf, Sergio and Gard didn't seem to wake up, so I started cleaning the room first.

Up the stairs, there are two rooms on each side of the corridor on the second floor.

On the right side of the corridor is Leos, on the left is Gad, on the right is an empty room, and on the left is Sergio's room.

"Kevin's luggage is a little bit left, but you can stuff it under the stairs."

"Do you understand?"

The name of the owner in front of the empty room sounds familiar.

"Uh, Mr. Kevin"

"Ah, another member of the tank, but two years ago"

Kevin was a snow leopard spearman, the same age as Leos, who was apparently killed in a raid request.

"He didn't die because he did something unreasonable, no, maybe that's how it ended up."

"Kevin, are you sick?"

"Ah, it doesn't look like it's a long way to go."

As far as I can tell, Kevin seems to have had cancer and was very emaciated when he died.

Even so, he insisted that he was okay and died after stabbing the orc general.

Maybe that's what Miss Layla said about Kevin in her sleep.

"It goes without saying that I've seen Hua Wuming during the crusade against the Bronze Wolf, but if you're an adventurer, it's not uncommon to lose a friend."

"That's why I think all day long, goodbye that day will be goodbye forever"

Shure's words sent a tingle down my back.

For myself, the end of my past life was a very stupid accidental death.

"Now that I'm leaving Azka to live as an adventurer in Ibro, I think I need to be more prepared."

"Living each day to the fullest sounds easy, but it's hard to do."

After Sergio and Gard got up and were able to move normally, we were going to go out for dinner, so we decided to go ahead and clean the room.

I thought the attic was full of luggage, but there were only a few piles near the stairs and the rest were empty.

All Leos are around 180 cm tall, while the ceiling of the attic is only about 140 cm.

It would have been nice to have an attic, but the ceiling was too low and it was a hassle to get into.

For me, though, the height is not an issue, and most importantly, I can use the space of the four rooms myself, so I am not complaining, but grateful.

However, since it has not been used for a long time, a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the floor.

In the attic, a small roof was made on a pitched roof, with two double windows on each side of about 60 cm in size.

When I opened the window, it seemed to be raining outside, but luckily there was no downpour.

Open two windows, use celestial magic to create pipes and install wind magic tools.

Forced ventilation mode with one side inhaling and the other exhaling.

Of course, I'm fully equipped with protective suits and helmets made of celestial magic, so I don't have to worry about getting dusty.

Put the room in forced ventilation mode and make a blower that you can hold by hand to expel the dust that has accumulated on the floor.

What would have taken hours with a broom, dustpan, and dustpan was completed in about 20 minutes.

When the dust settles, dust it off with a rag and the cleaning is complete.

"I've finished cleaning, but there's nothing but a monotonous scene."

In the attic room, there are only about ten wooden boxes stacked next to the stairs, and nothing else.

It is the size of four rooms, and there are more than 40 tatami mats as far as the eye can see.

I'm starting to think what a luxury it is for me, a petite cat person, to live alone in such a large space.

For the time being, I tried to dance while running with my feet, so as not to leave footsteps Yes, very wide.

I tried to hang up the hammock, the only piece of furniture I had brought with me from the village of Azca.

At first, I tried to hang it in the middle of the room, but it didn't feel like it fit, so I hung it in the corner of the room again.

It was too far from the stairs, maybe it would be better to be closer to the window and rehung it about three times before finally deciding on the location.

"But it's going to be a cold season, so I want a futon too."

"I don't have a lot of clothes on hand, I want to go shopping, and I want a small bag."

I don't have any options in Azca Village, but if I go to the shopping areas and markets in Ibro, I'm sure I'll find more of what I'm looking for.

"Hua Wuming! Let's go have lunch! ”

"Yes, I'll go now!"

When Leios called me downstairs, I suddenly looked around the attic and thought for a moment.

There is no door in the attic, so the interior of the room is completely visible and there is no privacy.

I don't even have my own room in Azca, so I don't mind if I don't mind, but it can be inconvenient to have no place to put valuables.

Let's talk to Leos and make a lockable cabinet No, if it does, it might be a target.

I don't know if anyone will steal from Chariot's base, but I want to make sure there's a place to store items I don't want to be taken away.

From the top of the stairs in the attic to the first floor, I made a slide with celestial attribute magic and slid down.
