Chapter 81.1

Chapter 81.1 \n“I can’t believe it. I went to six places and I couldn’t even find one! Not even one, you know?”\n

“Un, un. It is crowded at this time of the year.”

Liz who returned after a few days speaks passionately.

Regardless of the result, it seems that she was able to return safely without any major injury. No matter if her Certification Level is lower than her strength, I have never heard of someone sprinting around six Shrines and I don’t see any fatigue on her look.

“I was wondering whether to go on an expedition or searching for a bounty head. However, it takes time to find someone with a bounty and convert it into cash also take time and if I go for an expedition the traveling time might be too long and I might be too late for the auction, right? If I couldn’t make it on time, I thought it would be better to sell the drop item of a Phantom or the monster I defeated and increase our funds. Yes. This is the money I got!”

Liz smiles and hand over a large leather bag. The income from selling Monster material and Phantom drop are ridiculous for Hunters. Unlike Relics and Phantom drops that are difficult to obtain, if you want the material of a monster you can just go and defeat that specific monster, some Hunters with high combat skills are targeting those monster to some extent.

The bag Liz handed over was full of gold coins. She is calm but if she didn’t do her best, she wouldn’t get this amount of money. Sytry gently peeked in the bag, frown and says.

“Onee-chan, you are useless.”\n

“… Haaa? It is probably because of you that this kind of thing happened! Why would Cry-chan aim for a Relic that he can pick it up!”

Sorry, it is my fault… I feel guilty when I watch the clash between the sisters, so I silently turn my eyes away.

During the auction period, the Imperial Capital is crowded with people. Zebrudia Auction will be held for a week. During this period, the Imperial Capital is in a festival mood. Street stalls are lined up in the main street, small auctions are held here and there to promote the real Auction. Because of an influx of requests in the Explorer Association, this is also a time for merchants and Hunters to make a lot of money.

Since some time ago, I have only been thinking about the 『Reverse Face』but if I think it over, other useful Relic may be exhibited at the Auction. With my current economic situation, I can’t do anything about it so even though it is a festival, I can’t participate so it is a little lonely.

I am sandwiched between Liz and Sytry as I walk in the middle of the crowd. There are frequent pickpockets but with Liz present I don’t need to worry about the danger.

“Un. Even if I include Onee-chan’s share, it won’t reach a billion… I don’t have any saving anymore.”

“I can’t help it, you know. I used everything to capture 【Castle】 and all the spoiled are with Luke-chan and the other hands…”\n【Myriad Demon Castle】 is a Shrine where no one succeeded to capture it for a long period of time. There should be Relics sleeping there that is worth the risk. In our party, in the case somebody leaves the party in the middle, there is a rule that tells you that you can’t bring the spoil back with you. If there wasn’t such rule, Liz and Sitry would have brought back some Relics and the result of this auction may be different.

When Liz sharpens her lips, Sytry makes a small sigh.

“You are right… The timing was bad. If it was the usual, we could have done something better…”

After doing all of this and it is still not enough for you…

Sytry looks at me with a pleading eye.

“At this stage, the winning percentage is probably seventy percent. If Cry-san didn’t say No, then there would have be more card to play…”

“No. It is enough, Sytry has done enough. Thank you.”\n\n“Eh? So, what about it? It is fine, no matter how many peace-living stupid knights they have, I won’t lose!”

“Onee-chan, if you do that, you will only make Cry-san a suspect! If you do it… Right, you have to make it seems like a robbery.”

“Stop it.”

Stop it. Don’t you have any brakes? It is probably just a joke but if I ask the people around us, they might think that you are serious.

Thanks for reading! Cry do you really think that they are joking, of course not! XD They are ready to do anything for you! So, they are even ready to become the enemy of the whole country for you. Tchao à plus!
