Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

Year 7446, Month 9, Day 10

In any case, you can say we've succeeded with our objective this time of rescuing the leader of {Black.Topaz}, Reddo.Anderson.

They've recovered quite a bit thanks to the healing spells of the {Slaughterers} as well. Of course it's close the bare minimum and there's probably still quite a bit of pain remaining.

However, if you exclude that then you could say it's reached the level where there's no obstructions to their ability to walk.

"Now then..First, I offer my condolences for the members who passed away. I'm sorry we didn't arrive in time for their rescue. It's really unfortunate for everyone. But, please don't let it get you down."

Certainly I think it was unfortunate. It's not like they were people I didn't know at all after all. But, in the end they're just people from another party. Even more so when they're employees of a different place that are jeopardizing the business region we pioneered. Even then social courtesies are necessary.

"However, whatever the case I'm relieved that you were still alive, Anderson-san. By the way we'll be taking the ogre magic stones from here."

"Of course. It's the results of your battle."

I replied by shrugging my shoulders and grinning and ordered everyone gather the magic stones.

Miduchi and Kamu were on standby on both of my sides. Kamu seemed like she wanted to say something, but what she wants to say, I already understand those feelings. I lightly raised my left hand stopped Kamu. No matter what I won't accept that.

We entered the dungeon this time after taking a job from the {Verdure.Brotherhood} but it's only obvious that it's not a job where you can precisely promise it's been accomplished. 15,000,000 advance payment, and 30,000,000 when we've met the condition for accomplishing it, that's all there is to it. It's a considerable fee but even when you get lost in the mountains of Japan and people go looking for you you'll end up being charged a considerable amount from the Hunting Friends Association or the local group of young men.

It's possible that {Black.Topaz} themselves will offer a new job to "please save us" but this is something we shouldn't accept. Something like "if you don't want to die pay up" is something you shouldn't say if you really don't intend to kill them. It'll end up as double-charging after all.

Even in regards to Kamu and the others, I promised them 5% of the fee as compensation this time, it's only obvious to put in effort to increase the amount but the only ones who bend the truth to do that are trash adventurers and yakuza. Although, honestly speaking it's not amusing having the 7th floor invaded either. In regards to earning money there's no floor greater than this after all. Though there's no altars so you can't find any treasure. Oh~ it might just be that I don't know and I can't deny the possibility you can find some huh? We've never tried mining or anything after all.

She must have known that it's not something that can really be praised even from the common sense on Orth. Kamu obediently gave up as well.

"Could I ask you to remain on standby for a bit until we finish collecting the magic stones? Also, is anyone hungry? It's just a bit but we have preserved food. Ah, of course, I'll be charging for it. Just one ogre magic stone is fine. How about it?"

After all it seems their food conditions must have deteriorated quite a bit. I could hear the sound of the throats gulping from {Black.Topaz} members behind Anderson. I'm sure~ unless you were quite literally at the very limit you wouldn't want to eat the flesh of a humanoid monster or your allies.

I'm sorry for saying it a number of times but I don't want you to misunderstand there's no culture on Orth for cannibalism or eating humanoids. Rather it's avoided. They would at least tan the hides but never eat them. Even if they were a culture that eats them, no matter how used to Orth I get as long as there's other food I would never eat ogres, orks, or goblins, those sorts of humanoid monsters and completely reject them.

In the first place when farmers of the world grow things based around grains such as wheat I can't help but think someone who would think a monkey or humanoid monster is crazy. Putting aside an emergency situation, it would be quite the reversion back to the hunters of the primeval ages.

I took out that shitty disgusting preserved food from Miduchi, Kamu, and my survival kits. Additionally, I filled a flask with boiling water before putting dried meat in and making soup.

"I think you can already imagine but we came to save you all after directly receiving a job from the {Verdure.Brotherhood}."

"I thought that might be the case...Please bring us to the teleport crystal to the 6th floor. Also, this"

Anderson sighed before taking out one magic stone from the bag on her hip. I check the status to confirm it's one from an ogre. Since I'm receiving money I'll properly do my job.

"I understand. Please leave it to us."
