Chapter 62: Emergency Quest Completed

When Tauro returned to the village, Bob and Chloe were waiting for him at the entrance.

“I was worried because it was getting late. I was just about to go look for you.”

Bob said and gave Tauro a hug.

“Thank you again…! It was thanks to you that we were able to defeat them!”

Bob was moved to tears.

“No, no. You saved me at the end so it’s mutual!”

“Maybe so but when the Knight cut me down, I thought I was going to die when I fainted. If it wasn’t for your judgment, I wouldn’t be in this world. I’ll of course pay you for the potions you used on me.”

“The guild will also pay you a special bonus in addition to the success reward for this emergency quest since it was our decision to let you participate even though you are an F-rank. Thank you very much for your help.”

Chloe, the receptionist and head of the emergency branch of the guild, bowed her head and apologized

“No, please thank Bob. If Bob hadn’t noticed and acted on this matter, I wouldn’t have done anything. Oh, and don’t worry about the potion, I made it myself. I collected the ingredients, so it cost me almost nothing.”

“Eh?”

Bob and Chloe were surprised by the answer.

“Eh?”

Tauro was also surprised, so he asked if he said something strange.

“You can make potions? You even have the skills of a healer. You are amazing Tauro-kun.”

It’s no wonder Bob was surprised.

As far as they could see, he could use bows and arrows, he could also use swords, had excellent skill in woodworking, had the skills of a healer, had presence detection and blocking, it seems he also had a bandit’s system, so there were at least five.

It’s also possible that he has a higher level skill that covers more than one.

“No, I only have one garbled skill, unfortunately.”

The air in the room froze at Tauro’s answer.

The garbled skill, also known as the disappointing skill or the useless skill has a number of other expressions, but none of them are good.

In other words, Bob and Chloe thought, this boy has come along by effort alone without the support of skills

“I’m sorry…Tauro-kun…you’ve been through so much”

“I’m sorry I didn’t know anything. You’ve been doing your best.”

As the two of them flapped the wings of their imagination and set off into the distance, Tauro watched them.

He knew he had gone through a lot of hardships, but he was sure the world has a strong impression of the misfortune of garbled skills.

“Anyway, that’s how the potions were made so it’s okay!”

He said with a strong ending as if to bring the two who had departed back to earth.

“Oh, ohh! I understand. I’ll thank you in a different way some other time.”

Bob wasn’t going to back down, he really wanted to thank him and was too persistent to be refused.”

Of course, Bob and Tauro split the emergency quest reward in half.

As for the magic stones, since Chloe couldn’t appraise them, it was decided that Tauro would get the goblin knight’s magic stone and Bob would get the goblin sorcerer’s magic stone.

Incidentally, when Tauro appraised the goblin knight’s magic stone with his “true eye,” he found that it was worth five gold coins, while the goblin sorcerer’s magic stone was worth three gold coins.

Eh? Wasn’t the Knight the Sorcerer’s subordinate? The goblin knight seemed to be on the verge of becoming a goblin rider.

…That’s dangerous! It’s a good thing we defeated this thing before it became a goblin rider…! Tauro thought.

Tauro was alone as he tweaked the monster stone.

With this emergency quest, Bob was promoted from E rank to E+.

Tauro remained at F-.

This is because the guild rules state that even if a low-ranked player completes a high-ranked quest without permission, it will not be taken into account in the promotion assessment.

If this were allowed, the death and injury rate could jump due to low-ranked players willingly accepting high-ranked quests, so this was taken as a precaution.

That’s why they didn’t change the ranks for killing rare species, including goblins.

“I’m sorry, but this was an urgent request…”

Chloe, the receptionist, bowed her head apologetically.

“No, it was an emergency, so it can’t be helped this time.”

 it was unavoidable because If they had waited for the other adventurers to arrive, the worst could have happened.

Tauro wasn’t disturbed.

And he wasn’t really interested in promotion.

He was more interested in the shrine.

I’ll go back to the shrine tomorrow, Tauro thought.
