But in return
Seeing Kagemitsus face change into a serious look, Haruki unconsciously put himself on guard.
What kind of condition was he going to thrust at him?
Haruki gulped nervously.
Dont tell anyone about what happened in this battle. You cant tell anyone that youve defeated the rare species of deer.
Eh? Not even in my blog?
Not even in your blog.
Aw, come on
Harukis shoulders dropped.
An article about him fighting rare species that no one had seen or heard before could have increased his blog visits.
It could have increased his presence as an adventurer!
On the brink of tears, Haruki looked at Kagemitsu.
Dont give me that look. Ive seen your blog. Im sure if I dig deep enough I could even find hints about magic there.
Then, how about I hide the fact that youve participated in this battle?
That wont do either. The best way to avoid things like this from leaking to the public is to not write about them at all.
Ugh
Kagemitsu was right.
And Haruki knew he was right, which saddened him even further.
I was going to increase my presence with that for sure
Haruki felt heartbroken as his goal seemed to be even farther ahead than ever.
They took a quick break until Akane was done with the pile of monsters, then they returned to the surface in order to sort out the materials theyve obtained.
All of the Werewolf materials obtained this time around were unidentifiable.
The reason for that was that rare species of deer.
The Werewolves had turned purple due to the deers special skill.
Even after taking them apart, the materials remained purple.
They couldnt even tell if these materials would be useful at all.
They look the same as regular deer and werewolf materials, but these arent listed on Ichibishis catalogue. So I cant appraise them. Its impossible to tell you what would be the correct price for them.
Akane said that after examining a database.
That database detailed all of Ichibishis available materials and their worth.
With this database, any branch store could perform a certain level of appraisal.
Akanes pseudo-appraisals were also based on this database.
The only way to buy these at a reasonable price is to make a detailed appraisal.
Hmm. So you cant buy them?
I could. But if the price I pay is much lower than its actual worth, youd be losing out on a lot of money, right?
Haruki sighed when he saw the pile of materials that Akane dismantled.
Detailed appraisal cost nearly 100,000 yen per item.
However, Haruki still had to pay Kagemitsu for the request and Akane for the dismantling work.
Ill make a big profit either way, so
Got it. Ill take the detailed appraisal.
Tsk.
Intact Werewolf materials cost around 10,000 to 50,000 yen if they are intact. But how many corpses were there in total?
He should be able to secure enough profit even after accounting for a detailed appraisal.
Haruki decided to request a detailed appraisal in order to secure some profit, even if it was just a little.
A detailed appraisal could take about a month to be completed.
In other words, his profits wouldnt be confirmed after a full month at the earliest.
Until then, he could be a bit strapped for cash.
Haruki wasnt planning on just selling the materials collected from the boss to Akane.
The deers hide was extremely tough, so it could be used to craft armor that would be far superior than the Werewolf armor he was currently wearing.
Haruki was planning to use it to upgrade his equipment.
However, neither Haruki nor Karen met the level requirements to equip armor crafted from deer hide.
Until their level was high enough, the material would be entrusted to Akane.
There was another piece of material that could be useful.
That was the deers antlers.
Just by looking at it, I cant tell if its good enough to craft a weapon with.
That couldnt be.
Haruki frowned.
The deers antlers came into contact with his Werewolf short sword and came out unscathed.
They couldnt be that frail.
Haruki thought so, but when he picked it up and checked it, he certainly couldnt feel the peculiar stuffing of a weapon material.
The two antlers felt like dried tree branches to the touch.
They certainly werent a material that could be used as a weapon.
Its weird. It definitely felt harder than this when I was fighting
Its hardness has changed. Its not uncommon to find a material whose properties change when the monster it comes from dies.
Haruki was greatly disappointed. He had thought it might be a new weapon material that could surpass that of his Werewolf short sword.
A pungent smell suddenly passed through Harukis nose.
Hmm?
What on earth was that smell?
It was a scent he remembered.
At the same time that the scent stimulated his brain, his stomach started to come alive.
Haruki sniffed around, searching for the source of that smell.
He found it in no time.
Dont tell me the antlers?
That pungent smell seemed to come from the antlers.
Haruki brought his nose closer to them.
Ooh!?
Haruki was surprised by the stimulating smell.
His heart started to beat faster and faster.
Stimulated by the smell, his mouth started to become overflowing with saliva.
This is
Whats wrong, Karaboshi?
Karen looked at Haruki with a doubtful expression on her face.
Haruki couldnt bring himself to answer her question.
His body was shivering.
It couldnt be.
That word was going around in circles.
But there was no point denying it.
When Haruki finally said the true identity of that item
!!
The small prefab was hit by a big shock.
