nAfter dealing with the beastkins, 「Red Oath」 and 18 people safely get out of the forest and were on the main road to Hermolt Town.

nEven we call it mainroad, it’s only a small mountain road that enough for one horse carriage passes, and in order for 2 carriages avoid each other, you have to use the evacuation space in some places.

nAs first, everyone doesn’t plan to stop by the「Village in front of the forest」because we don’t want to involve the Villagers.

nBut now, we don’t to worry about the Beastkin’s pursuit unit.

nStill, we spent more time to deal with the beastkins. So if we visit the village now. We will late to get to Hermolt Town before dark. That’s why we didn’t stop.

nAnd no one complained about it.

n「If there is a prisoner of war … if there is a prisoner of war, the amount of remuneration will …」(Pauline)

n「Geez! I get it.

nYou girls (ne-chan-tachi) already took prisoners of war but for our convenience that you must release them!

nI will tell the guild properly.

nAnd we will add it to your total rewards!

nHey, guild ne-chan, is that right」(Hunter leader)

n「Yes, I will also confirm it from my side!」(Teffie)

nAs Pauline continued to persistently murmur too much, the Escort leader finally lost his patient and made promises without confirmation.

nAnd the leader remembered the Pauline’s appearance that broke the beastkin’s feet happily.

nIf his opinion recommendation end up unsuccessful then… and his body trembling just by imaging.

n「… By the way, Doctor Kulereia …」(Mile)

n「Yes?」(Kulereia)

nWhen Mile suddenly spoke to her while walking, Doctor Kulereia turned around.

n「Well, do you know Teresa-san of the Hunter Guild Kingdom Branch?」(Mile)

n「Ah~ …」(Kulereia)

nWhen heard Mile’s question, Doctor Kulereia had a tired face as she replied.

n「Again, how many times is it until now…

nWell, she seems young, so there are many people thinking she is an elf or a half elf, but both her parents are ordinary people …

nWell, there’s a possibility that elves’ blood sleep her ancestor in many generations ago.

nAnd by chance that blood awaken in her who is just an ordinary human being」(Kulereia)

n「Whaaaaaaaat?」(Red Oath Teffie Hunters)

nNot only Mile and Red Oath, but also Guild Master’s daughter Teffie and escort hunters were also surprised.

nApparently Teresa was quite celebrity in that direction.

n「… In the guild, we don’t dig up personal things. So none of us dare to ask her about that.

nBut everyone thought she was an elf or a half elf …」(Teffie)

nTeffie is amazed.

nFor women, the secret to keep youth is worth a thousand gold.

nIf that person is an elf, they can peaceful give up. But if that person is the same human being as them. They can’t help but jealous.

n「Gigigi …」(SFX)

nApparently, it seems Mile stepped on a landmine.

nThe Capital and this Hermolt town aren’t so far.

nThe distance of 5 days travel is 「Relatively near」in this world.

nMoreover, both of them are same citizen and guild staff of the Kingdom.

nIt was not weird to have an exchange between the guild staff.

n「That girl …」(Teffie)

nMile was like fly away, frightened by the terrifying Teffie murmuring.

n***

nAnd evening.

nBefore the sun settled, everyone somehow arrived at the Helmort town. And they headed straight to the guild.

nOn the way, several hunters saw the party and those hunters rushed to the guild branch in a hurry.

nPerhaps, those hunters are familiar with the guild so they run to inform the guild.

nAnd when everyone arrives at the guild.

n「Tef…f…i…eee」(Guild Master)

nThe guild master was waiting in front of the guild. As he saw Teffie, he spreading his arms and running at full speed with a face full with tears and runny nose.

n「Teffie!」(Guild Master)

nThe Guild Master was quickly avoided by Tiffy before he can hug her. And he caught up with Doctor Kulereia who was behind Teffie as it was because he couldn’t see well with tears.

n「Aaaaaaaa ~ !!」(Doctor Kulereia)

n***

n「… That’s why」(Mile)

nMile reports to Guild Master who was swollen both cheeks. As he listens, he scratchs and nods.

nMile reports with a 「Request completion report」

nWithin the 「Red oath」, it seemed natural that Mile, who seemed to grasp the full picture of the incident this time, was assigned a reporting role.

nThree other girls usually treat Mile as 「A little disappointing child」, but they knew that the ability to compile and explain the report was superior to them.

nAnd the report of the investigation team was scheduled after Mile’s report ended.

nAnd the 「Red oath」withdrawn.

n***

n「… After this, we will report to the lords as soon as we receive a report from the investigation team, we will consult with you at that time to decide the amount of compensation, please come here again tomorrow.

nIt was hard work this time. And I will never forget that you saved everyone …」(Guild Master)

nIn truth, he would have liked to say that he was thankful for saving his daughter.

nBut right now he is a guild master so he can’t say like that.

n「Red oath」nodded and left the conference room.

n「… It’s over, is not it?」(Maevis)

n「Good work …」(Pauline)

nThe Client probably wouldn’t expect all of the survey team survived.

nFurthermore, nearly half of the missing hunters were rescued as well.

nThe other hunters would have been a sacrifice of strong monsters or something that hunting in different area.

nEven just half of hunters were saved are good enough.

nMevis and Pauline are also having satisfying faces.

n「Then, we will pay three times the price of dinner for today, we can have a special gorgeous meal, is it okay?」(Rena)

n「Oh!」(Mile Pauline Maevis)

nEveryone agreed with Rena.

n***

nThe next day, the 「Red oath」are coming to the Hunter Guild in the morning.

nOf course to receive the reward.

nAfter receiving it, we planned to head to the Capital by foot.

nWhen we went to the reception desk, everything was handled properly and I was given a reward immediately.

n「Checking the cause of things happen in forest fee.

nDeal with a number of dangerous monsters fee.

nSpecial remuneration for rescuing Doctor Kulereia, an important person and her team.

nAnd the fee for rescuing 9 missing hunters.

nAlso even a little, the guild will also pay honorarium」(Guild Clerk)

n「But giving us the honorarium when they are losing their weapons, it didn’t sit well with me…」(Rena)

nPauline also nods with Rena.

nMile when saw that figure of Pauline was shocked.

n(And it is unbelievable! This is just like TV TOKYO got a special program said that the earth is going to be destroyed. But this is a rarer event compare to that!) (Mile’s inner thought)

nTV Tokyo is an amazing television station that keeps broadcasting regular programs quietly, even when there’s a World War or a Major disaster occurs.

nWestern Sun TV, East TV Tokyo are said to be japan’s pride.

nFor TV circle to broadcast about adventurer, no this must be about Hero.

nAnd Mile was a faithful TV watcher in her past life …

n(T.N: Help me to fix about this info if you spot any mistake please, I translate it literal from what Author write but I don’t really understand much about TV Tokyo or Sun TV)

n「No, that’s not the case. Think about it, no-one can get the honorarium if you need to do all that.

nWhen you rescuing the hunters on site, Not only you must protect the hunters but also confirm their lost equipments there, check the surrounding to find the stolen weapon, confirm the payment, … etc

nThere’s a possibility that things went bad and we end up won’t be able to rescue the hunters at all with the time we waste to confirm and check …」(Guild Clerk)

nWith explanation of the receptionist, Rena somehow acepts it.

n「Well, then it can’t be helped …」(Rena)

n「And we also add compensation for release the beastkin prisoners and compensation for information gathering」(Guild Clerk)

nAnd the receptionist placed a leather bag on the counter.

n「Ooooooooo!」(Red Oath)

nRed Oath are amazed at the quantity of gold coins which was much more than they expected.

nIt is impossible that the contents are silver coins or copper coins.

n「By the way the guild master wants to talk, I’d like you to come and visit us in his room as soon as possible, please」(Guild Clerk)

nAs the receptionist ‘s words,「Red oath」walking towards Guild Master’s room with a light feeling, thinking that he wants to thank for helping his daughter, detailed explanation of the reward or something.

nAnd the Guild Master and Doctor Kulereia greet the girls in the room.

n「I want you to go back to the beastkin’s camp site in the forest again, you are requested by the lord」(Guild Master)

n「Eh?」(Red Oath)

nRed Oath are surprised by the sudden request, the guild master continued.

n「This morning, I sent out the report to the lord.

nAnd he asked you girls for a nominated request.

nAll the involved hunters and Doctor Kulereia were also clients」(Guild Master)

n「Eh, the hunters of the escort party weapons …」(Mile)

n「It was just a side free quest. You don’t need to do it if you can’t.

nAnd you don’t need to return it if you don’t want」(Guild Master)

n「Oh, I see…」(Mile)

nMile was relieved by the reply of the Guild Master.

nIf we had to find and get back the stolen weapons after returning, It was somewhat troublesome …

n「If you do something wrong with beastkins, the relationship with the whole beastkin race will deteriorate.

nIn the worst case they may return to a revealed hostile against humans.

nDo you understand that? 」

nFour girls nods to the Guild master.

n「So it is impossible for the local lord to judge thing lightly and move army unless he had the country’s judgment …

nHowever, we can’t leave the beastkins alone.

nIt takes a lot of time to get messenger from the Capital.

nAnd if we don’t know the purpose of the beastkins, the same thing may be repeated again.

nAnd … 」(Guild Master)

n「And?」(Red Oath)

n「The Lord wants the treasure that the beastkins discover」(Guild Master)

n「Ah …」(Red Oath)

nThe Red Oath are convinced.
