Chapter 131: Lazing Around in the Next Base Part 2
We arrived at the Adventurers Guild while having an idle talk. In addition, this place also established a bar attached to the guilds building. Why is this kind of dual-purpose bars popular here? But this town had no specialized bar, so maybe a lot of people demanded it? But that would make it harder to take requests in the guild, so I felt complicated. It would be better to open a new bar if people wanted to have fun Ahh, but that would help to take measures against people who came to make trouble. Other adventurers might come to help. Plus the staff seemed like they could handle a lot of things too. Oh well. Its not like I had any plan to start a business here.
When we entered the guild building with Bell, there were people drinking alcohol in the daytime. I could also see a party that seems to have returned early, and a party distributing rewards to their members. Their line of sight gathered at us for a moment and immediately dispersed. This could be a normal reaction when seeing someone unfamiliar coming in, I guess? Im nervous, you say? I dont mind. Im used to impolite gazes.
Lets regain my mind and look at the bulletin board filled with request forms.
This is. Yeah. Its already past noon after all.
Only a few requests left, such as several goblin subjugations, one kobold subjugation, and a few specific herbs collection Hmm, boring. The challenging one was subjugating the demons found in the spring deep in the forests. In the first place, what should I do in subjugation requests? We were a clan, not a party. As long as we acted together while collecting herbs, there shouldnt be any problem. But
What are we going to do? How about reconfirming it tomorrow morning~? Its already pretty late now. Hmm, But with this lineup, I think its going to be pretty much the same when we come back tomorrow morning. Maybe the varieties are wolf, orc, bear, or something like that? We can go for orcs, but Arisa, you once said skinning bear fur was hard, right? We actually accepted it before, but my magic wasnt very effective. We only managed to finish it in the nick of time. Ah, were going to be fine~ It should be easy with this sword~ Ahhh, right. Arisa has Rens sword And I also have a ring, so were completely different from that time Hmm.
I see. Since the equipment I gave them was superior, the range of the subjugation requests we could take would expand But I would like to operate Magic Armor in actual battle. If my age limit wouldnt restrict me anymore, should I take the subjugation requests? Hmm
Then how about we come back here immediately tomorrow morning? I think thats fine. But we wont have much free time if we do that What should we do then? I dont really mind with anything~
Arisa had stopped thinking recently Well, thats fine.
Then, rather than taking a request, why dont we walk around the outskirts of the town? We can also collect things that look good. Ahh, thats a good idea. Okay, lets go right away!
Arisa No, its fine! Its really fine! But hey, can you be a bit more!
We then moved to the entrance of the town. When we told the gatekeepers at the entrance that we wanted to check the surrounding terrain for future requests, they willingly let us leave. We moved counterclockwise once we went out of the town. The other side was filled with fields, and that would make it impossible to look for herbs.
I think they should put water in this empty moat Hmm, but when combined with the high fence, the defense power was high, I guess? Mumumu.
This side didnt particularly cut through the forest, and the forest looked quite deep Thats why people requested to exterminate the monsters that had settled down here.
Going in for a while, I could see the nostalgic trees that I often saw deep inside a forest Wait, isnt this a bamboo! I had to confirm this!
Lily and the others dashed after me who suddenly started running. But that was bamboo! A bamboo! Bamboo shoots!
Theres no doubt. Its bamboo.
I used [Appraisal] on it, and I found out that it was moso bamboo. Bamboo shoots were delicious. I didnt hate square bamboo, but they probably didnt grow together What a shame. I had to find them separately.
However, I never thought I would find bamboo in this place! This alone made our trip to this town worth it! Yay!
I collected it immediately. I stored the entire ground in [Storage], together with the rhizomes. I managed to secure a lot of stocks, so Im satisfied. But I had to pick up bamboo shoots early in the morning, so I didnt collect that now. Its April now, the season for bamboo shoots. I would definitely pick them up! Absolutely!
We finally caught up What are you doing? I found what I was looking for. What are you doing with this scooped ground? I collected a little bit of the soil.
By the way, lets also look for places where bamboo shots were likely to grow. It didnt really matter now, though.
Are you still looking for something? Yeah. Delicious foods are growing, so I want to come to pick it up early tomorrow morning. Early morning? You cant pick it up now? It tastes bad unless I pick it up in the morning. I see. Then I have to do my best too. Delicious food I will also help~
Oh? They would help me? They probably did it for the delicious food, but I got labor help!
After that, once we finished dinner and returned to the inn, I found some things when I asked the inn staff about bamboo.
First of all, the bamboo was planted by a swordsman who came from Hourai a long time ago. And no one used the bamboo to craft items or make products. They didnt eat the bamboo shoots as well. What a waste
But I didnt want to stand out, so I didnt disclose any information or cook any bamboo related dish. But I had a little idea when it came to cooking. Lets check it tomorrow.
Its a little early, but lets go to bed now. I had to get up early to pick up bamboo shoots and then go to take requests. How busy!
