Chapter 146: Mr. Trouble, There’s No Seat For You Here! (part 2)
Rad? Whats the matter?
Its essentially a question of whether we can transport the materials, right?
Whats the matter? Cant unrelated people stay out of this!?
No, Im also an adventurer, and I was talking about the rights of adventurers, so its not like I have nothing to do with it.
Now listen!
Wait a moment, Mayor! Rad, do you have something to add?
No, there shouldnt be any problem for them, right? Its maybe because the Guild Master seems to have forgotten due to agitation, but you see that girl over there used something to transport Goblins, right?
Something? Oh, I see!
It has a capacity large enough to hold all of those Goblins. In fact, I think it could hold much more than this giant turtle.
Right, I remember now! Why did I forget such an important detail!
Oh? The conversation seems to be progressing on its own, but I think its heading in a favorable direction? Wait, are you gonna leave us out again?! Something? What is that something?
Hey, what have you been talking about? Whats this something and how does it relate to Goblins?
Well, Mayor! We just realized that there was no issue here! These girls have a high-capacity magic bag that can hold all of the materials from that magic beast!
Huh?
Oh what a relief! It looks like everythings settled now!
Ah, right, right! I forgot about the magic bag! Well, technically, its not that high-capacity, but I just made it look like it was.
To explain in more detail, after we defeated the Legion and went to call for reinforcements in the town, we collected all the borrowed magic bags and pretended to transfer their contents into my magic bag (more accurately, a bag made to look like it) while secretly moving them into [Storage]. I totally forgot about it! Great move, Rad!
W-wait a minute! That wont do!
No matter how many times you say that, it wont change the situation. As I mentioned earlier, its us who are facing difficulties with your unreasonable demands.
Umm
And why arent you considering a regular negotiation? Even if it cant be a lump sum, there are countless ways to make a deal, including installment payments. Yet, from the beginning, youve been trying to get them to give it away for free. I mentioned this before, but as a member of the Adventurers Guild, I absolutely cannot accept that.
But
And frankly, are you looking down on them just because theyre young? Regardless of their age, these girls are skilled adventurers. Skilled enough to defeat a massive monster like that. I cant fathom why you would needlessly underestimate such capable adventurers.
Furthermore, arent they supposed to be the towns benefactors? And not just once but twice with this subjugation, all within this short span of time.
Twice?
Yes, they havent wanted it to be publicized, but these three girls standing here are the ones who wiped out the Goblin Legion.
What!?
Rad here and his group are skilled adventurers, but even they were captured by such a large-scale Legion. Mayor, remember how you turned pale and then celebrated when you heard about the Legions defeat?
This is! Oh my, what have I! I didnt know, but Ive acted so ungrateful! Im so sorry, you three! It is as you say! Forgive me for my foolish words!
Wow, hes prostrating! Wait, please stop!
Afterward, we returned to the town and had some discussions at the guild. In the end, the Mayor agreed to purchase a portion of the magic beast materials to tide things over. He bought about 10 kilograms of it, and he was planning to use it to prepare food for sale for today and tomorrow in a hurry.
He also said something about doing a fishing rush for turtles today and tomorrow. Good luck there.
During the parting, he kept bowing his head profusely. It seemed like he felt really bad for going too far in his actions and attitude, thinking too much about the town. He kept apologizing and bowing over and over.
Well, I guess hes not a bad person, probably. I wouldnt say hes an exceptionally good person either.
In fact, had I been in the Mayor position No, never mind, I wouldve just paid in installments. Trust and reputation are important.
But, you know Ive been thinking this for a while, but people in relatively high positions are, often kinda stingy, arent they? Like, he changed his attitude fast this time around, but No, I mean, Ive seen a lot of good people too, but still, arent they being too self-centered when it comes to profits?
Looking at it that way, the Guild Master here, who protected the guilds interests and adventurers rights while also listening to adventurers opinions, seemed like a pretty capable person, huh? I wonder why someone like him was in such a remote town.
After the discussion, we received the reward and returned to our rented house. After resting for a while, a pleasant smell wafted in. Intrigued by the scent, I returned to the town square, where several stalls had appeared that werent there earlier. I peered at the stalls and it seemed like they were grilling skewered meat.
Wait, so the towns specialty, turtle meat, is served on skewers?!
Hmm, grilling turtle meat on skewers As I observed for a while, it seemed like they were marinating the meat in sauce before grilling it. There were several types of sauce, and they also had salt-grilled turtle meat.
Since I was already here, I decided to buy some and try it. Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good. Hmm, it reminded me more of a softshell turtle than a normal one. It didnt smell and had umami, but the meat itself was quite light in taste. Maybe thats why they used sauces?
I was really curious about how it would taste given its appearance, but its surprisingly delicious.
I quite like it too! munch munch.
Arisa please dont walk around holding two of them
It seemed like Lily and Arisa were enjoying it as well. They bought several skewers from different stalls to compare the flavors. The sauces all seemed to be soy sauce-based, which was somewhat unusual in this country. Personally, I think I prefer the simplicity of just salt.
And, I guess you could say as expected, it had similar effects to softshell turtle meat, and after eating a few skewers, I felt a warming sensation in my body Listen, Im not getting turned on, okay?
But hmm Maybe its because I ate something somewhat resembling a softshell turtle, I started feeling like making a softshell turtle hotpot
Okay, lets hurry back home and make it!
