Chapter 13

"... What kind of harassment? Don’t you think suddenly placing the monster's head on the counter is harassment?"

"It's just an achievement report."

Sasha alternately looks at the Elder Orc's neck on the counter and my face with a dumbfounded look.

“Haa… Please don’t do this to anyone other than me. I'm sure the new girl will faint...."

"No, don't worry, I only line up in front of you, Sasha."

"So... how should I react when I'm told that you’ll only submit the head to me?

...Well, that's okay, I'll give you 5 silver coins as a reward."

I receive 5 silver coins for one orc.

"Oh...and yes. I have a few questions."

"It's rare. You’re holding up the back, so please make it quick."

"I'm looking for a party house. Do you know of any reasonably priced properties around here?"

"Are you sure you're okay? There is still a big line behind you."

"Yes, it's the guild's job to show people to a party house."

When I asked Sasha about the party house, she suddenly said

"Very well, if that's the case, I'll show you. Melinda, please come take over?"

"Hai~, I understand..."

She took turns with another receptionist behind the counter to guide me.

Melinda, the slow-talking receptionist who took her place, froze when she saw the Elder Orc's head still on the counter.

As Sasha and I were leaving the Adventurer's Guild, she came up behind us.

"Se-senpai?! What should I do with this head?!"

"Come on, let's go."

"Senpai? Senpai? Come back, senpai!"

Her voice called out.

According to Sasha, she is a habitual slacker and will doze off or take a voluntary break if she is not told the work to do.

Sorry to leave you hanging...Melinda and the adventurers in line behind her.

"Here it is. I think it meets your requirements, let's take a look inside."

"Hey, this place is ......"

Sasha led me to a large two-story building that looked familiar.

"Yes, it was originally a party house used by the War Maidens. As the size of the party expanded, they moved to a different building, so this one is now vacant."

"…I see."

Party "War Maiden". It is an A+ party composed only of women and is currently considered the closest to an S-class in this bus talk.

S-class is S-, but it is treated differently from A. They are sometimes invited to parties of royalty and nobility, so it's a different world now.

In particular, the "war maidens" is full of beautiful women, so the sons of nobles will not leave them alone.

...I was invited here once because of an old party member of mine.

I have a lot of thoughts about it, but this place is charming. The size, the number of rooms, the location, and of course, the bathtub .... I can just picture Nina's happy face.

"That was a quick decision."

"Because the price was quite cheap for that property. Isn't it about half the market price?"

“When the "War Maidens" sold the building, we had been told that if we sell it to you, we should take half of the money.”

"..."

Eh... why?

I have a bad feeling about this, but is it just my imagination...?

I then dropped Sasha off at the Adventurer's Guild and heard Melinda's vindictive voice from inside.

……Sorry again.

I wonder if Iska and the others would be pleased....

Thinking of this, I was walking through a darkened part of the city when I noticed that I was surrounded at a place with few pedestrians.

"Who's there? If you want to take me by surprise, at least hide your murderous intent."

It's possible to check the number and position of enemies by adding magical power to words, but they are so deadly that there's no need to do that.

Two in the shadows in front, two on the roof of the building, one behind. The only purpose is my life, but should I ask just in case?

"You are Gray, and I will take your life."

Hey, don't talk without permission, you haven't asked me yet....

The two men in front emerge from the shadows.

They are wearing black robes and webbed masks, with daggers in their hands.

Spiderweb. .......

“Are you guys from an organization called the Greedy Spider?”

For a moment, the air surrounding them changes.

Good, clarity is important.

"... You who will die right now need…"

“No answer "

"What?! How fast..."

I close the distance and slash the neck of the one who was talking out of the two and grab the other's head with my hand.

"Answer quickly. If you're not a greedy spider, I'll kill you normally. If you're a greedy spider, I'll torture you and kill you. Now, which is it?"
