顶级RAPPER潮水

「Ah, I will pull it!」

「「「No no no no …」」」

Everyone is waving their hands to stop Haru, who enthusiastically proposed to be the horse.

「Everyone, it’s okay. Haru can do that much.」

「Even if you say that, making a little girl like her pull the carriage is…」

「Don’t worry. This Chinatsu will pull it with her.」

「I somehow expected it.」

Go on a safe, monster-free, paved road is dull. At least, they need this much weight on them. I persuaded the adventurers who were opposing it with my skillful mouth, and it’s decided that Haru and Chinatsu will be the horse. All we have to do is wait for the carriage to be fixed.

「The fat of the griffon is thick. Sharpen your knife well before you use it. The feathers can be used for decoration, so they will lose their value if they get dirty with blood. Be sure to dismantle the wings first.」

「With this size, it’s like dismantling a cow and it’s exciting!」

「You’ve never dismantled a cow before, right? ……Eh? Haruna, you haven’t, right?」

「Haa. We’ve never dismantled a griffon either. It’s a good learning experience.」

It’s a waste to do nothing while waiting for repairs. Whoa, there’s a dead griffon right here! So, during the waiting time, I let Haru and Chinatsu (and the adventurers as well) learn how to dismantle. We can just put it in the bag with a storage function, bring it to the guild, and leave the dismantling to them. But, if we do it ourselves, the profit will be better. After all, the reward for the materials will be deducted by the dismantling cost. Besides, some guild branches don’t welcome bring-ins. Especially in the area with a lot of ghouls and zombies. They stink after all….

「Ojou-chan, you are really good at this.」

「No, I still have a long way to go!」

Haru wanted the Dismantling Skill, but she can just improve her skill without having to acquire the Skill. Skills are only auxiliary. If your own ability is first-class, it can rival the corresponding Skill. As far as I can see, Haru is dexterous enough to dismantle the griffon. If she learns the right knowledge and the right method, there will be no problem.

「Uh, the smell…」

As for Chinatsu, well, yeah. This is the reaction of a normal high school girl. It’s not the same as cooking raw fish after all. If I were to borrow Haru’s words, it’s like dismantling a cow with a hunting knife. When thinking so, Chinatsu is a girl who is doing her best even if she doesn’t like it.

「Deris, I grilled some meat! Here!」

「N-No way! Nell’s grilled meat is delicious…!?」

And here, Nell arbitrarily started to cook the griffon meat that was cut off and looked motivated for some reason. Lily was shocked, but she still ate the meat. As for me, I ate the meat I received from Nell while instructing Haru and Chinatsu at the dismantling site that reeks of blood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few hours after departure, A few hours after our departure, we arrived at the town of Genius. Since there is Adelheit Magic Academy in this town, there are many shops related to books and study. It’s the second largest town in the country after Diana and is a town of hope where young people who will lead the next generation gather. The monsters in the vicinity are mostly small fry, so there are many low-leveled newbie adventurers as well.

「Are they students?」

As we entered the town and headed for the mansion of the lady, Haru spotted three girls walking down the street. In terms of age, they are about the same as Haru and Chinatsu, or maybe a little younger. They are surprised to see Haru and Chinatsu pulling the carriage. It’s not a show, you know? It’s training!

「I guess so, they are wearing the school uniform after all.」

「Hee~, it’s a cute uniform.」

「Hahaha, don’t worry. You and Chinatsu will wear it later.」

「「Eh?」」

When it comes to the graduation festival, even if they are not students, they can become ones temporarily. Of course, they will be asked to wear the uniform at the graduation festival. Their age is just right for the graduation and it won’t feel out of place like cosplay.

「If possible, I want to check on this year’s prodigy as well.」

「Did you mean self-proclaimed prodigy?」

I secretly whispered so to Nell so that no one around us could hear it. Just in case, we are close to the mother of that self-proclaimed prodigy and their subordinates after all.

「I’m talking about the real one. The teacher in charge said something about wonder child or something like that. Well, I wasn’t taking it seriously, so I don’t expect much. After all, I just need to see it myself.」

Nell is also the examiner for joining the knight order after all. She goes to the academy every year and looks for good talent. It seems that the selection has become particularly difficult since Nell became the leader, and only a handful of people can become knights. If judged incompetent, you will fail even if you are a legitimate child of a noble. Even if you try to retaliate, the other party is that Massacre Princess. A bribe is out of the question, you will be reported to the king directly. You can only accept it since the power of a mere noble can’t do anything against the overwhelming force of Nell. I think Nell is just trying to get rid of anyone who will be a burden, but the response of the people around are unexpectedly positive that the test is fair and impartial despite being extremely difficult.

「This is the mansion of Duke Ortho. You really pulled the carriage here, huh…」

「Um, maybe I should have gotten out of the carriage too. It was heavy, wasn’t it?」

「Don’t worry. Rather, it was too light. Right, Chinatsu-chan?」

「It was tougher in the city than on the road…」

Since entering the city, Chinatsu blushed so much that it was easy to tell, and she was pulling the carriage while looking down. They were attracting the eyes of people who were looking at them with curiosity. Right, this is also a kind of training. …… No, honestly, I’m sorry. I hadn’t thought about what would happen once we got into town.

「You adventurers were helpful as well. If we are ever in need of escorts, we’d love to have you.」

「We didn’t do anything, though… Well, now that we received the sign of request completion. You girls, and the masters as well, take care!」

「Goodbye!」

The three adventurers seemed to have completed their request and headed for the guild in this town. I guess they’re going to get their reward and have some drinks. The injured adventurer was completely energetic halfway through, he even secretly pushed the carriage. Perhaps, we will be together on the way home.

「First of all, please relax and heal your fatigue inside. Now, can you show them to the guest room?」

「Understood. Well then, everyone, this way please.」

After parting ways with Lady May inside the mansion, we were ushered into the guest room. Fuu, I guess we can relax for now. Then, I elegantly savor the served tea.

――――Bang!

And then, the door of the guest room suddenly opened with great momentum.

「I, Therese Batten, have come desuwa! I heard that there are talented adventurers here! Is that true!?」

I spouted my tea.
