Chapter 34 Reward

I received it!

Eh?How much did I receive?

Well listen to this! Its a total of 11 gold coins!

It seems the reward for the kidnapping incident was 3 gold and 8 gold for the bounty reward.1

Its too little even though its a bounty you say? No, it seems thats not the case. I asked the receptionistonee-sanand theres a whole range of bounties. The lowest bounty appears to be 1 gold~, the highest bounty is over 500 gold it seems.

This times bounty was rankedupper-bottom.

Since Ive gotten the money, Ill head to Garam-sans place right away!

As I was thinking that while leaving the guild, the receptionistonee-sancalled for me to stop.

Fujino-sama, please wait a moment. Your card needs to be updated.

What update is she talking about?

Fujino-samas adventurer rank is now E rank after completing this times commission.

Come to think of it, I shouldve achieved it from the prescribed points from this times commission.

But if thats the case, why didnt they process it at the time I came to report the commission?

Having that question on my mind, I asked.

Properly speaking, that shouldve happened, but this time, because the difference is that the special commission was achieved by Fujino-sama, its decided that itll be processed together with the rewards. And because the bounty was also captured, all of it will be processed together.

A special commission, is it that kidnapping incident?

Since its still a commission in the end, there should be pointsne.

Does the bounty also have points?

I understand, Then please.

I hand over my card to the receptionistonee-san.

Okay, because I believe this will take some time, please wait over there.

She points towards the coffee room.

I waited while drinking herb tea.

Fujino-sama.

To the voice calling out to me, I head to the reception desk.

Thank you for waiting. Since the update has finished, please confirm it.

Handing back the card, I confirm the cards display.

Adventurer rank is

Eh?

Umm, how come my rank became D?

E rank should be the rank above F rank.

Yes, Fujino-sama has became a D rank. The reason is because of the special commission, the capture of the bounty and the five kidnappers you captured by yourself, in addition, your evaluation was increased because you safely protected the children. As a result, its been decided that you will be ranked up to D rank.

After hearing the full story, resolving the kidnapping incident and capturing the criminals, protecting the children, it seems the points are each calculated differently.

Also adding up the capture of the bounty, as a result, there were enough points to carry me though to D rank.

It seems this special commission originally needed a party above D rank to resolve. Was that how the evaluation was done?2

With me having an unexpected large amount of money and a rank up, I head towards Garam-sans place for the time being.

Hello~. Is Garam-san here?

Entering Garams Weapon Store, I call out towards the interior.

Ou, its thejou-chan. Whats happened?

Garam-san immediately appears from the back.

I came to buy since Ive saved up enough money!

Looking at me

speak with a smile, Garam-san makes a doubtful-like expression.

Youve already saved enough? Only half a month has passed ya know.Oi, you didnt do anything bad right?

Mu, what are you suddenly saying.

I didnt do anything bad. I only obtained an extraordinary income.

Extraordinary income?Jou-chans only been an adventurer for half a month right? And yet an extraordinary income you say, isnt that strange?

I resolved a kidnapping incident. Though it was by accident. I received the reward for it.

A kidnapping incident? Aint that the one recently rumoured? This morning I heard that the criminals were caught during the night but,jou-chanwas the one who caught them?

Thats the kidnapping incident. Although I really did discover them by accidentne. Through a course of events, I caught them.

So it wasjou-chanwho caught them. And thats the reason for your extraordinary income.

You finally understand.

Thats what happened. Incidentally the leader had a bounty on his head so I also received his bounty.

While he listened, Garam-san brought over a katana from the back of the store.

Well then, right now you have enough money to spare right? I have a suggestion, why dont ya put some glyphs on this fella? I have an acquaintance whos a skillful magic technician.

Glyphs?

Will it turn into a magic tool? For example, being able to cut anything?

Pretty much, likeRepairso the blade wont chip orSharpnessto improve its sharpness, something along those lines?

Mu,Repairmight be good since Im also worried about chips on the blade.Repairshould also make it difficult to rust.

Whats the price and how long does it take?

Let me think, although its an estimate the price for one should be 2000 Goualch, if you want it on both sides, then a period of two days would be enough.

So 40 silvers for two and a period of two days huh.

Umm, I would like both sides please.

Alright. Also, whatll you do for the sword belt?

A sword belt, I think it was like a belt which allows a sword to hang from your waist.3

Umm, Ill have one please.

It would be better to make a new one forjou-chans case. It also needs to be changed for the katana. Come to think of it, doesntjou-channeed armor?

Armor?

Now that he mentions it, Ive been thinking of nothing but weapons, I havent considered armorne.

Thats right. Although I havent thought about it until now If its light and doesnt disturb my movements, it may be nice to have one.

Light and doesnt disturb movements huh. Its a little expensive but, how about puttingLight weighton leather armor?

How much would it cost?

The price should be around 8000 Goualch. Parts for the chest, arm and leg sections right? Although itll take some time, around five days.

In that case, Ill also have the armor please. However, I might want various requests to be added.

Id like to avoid having the completed product and what I had in mind to be different.

I dont mind. Since its to protectjou-chans body after all. Im sorry but, its necessary to take your measurements immediately. After that we can start the preparations.4

Garam-san heads into the back of the store after saying that. I also follow besides him.

Even though its on top of my clothes, having various parts measured is embarrassingne.

Starting from the neck, then around my shoulders, chests measurements, abdomens girth, arms length and thickness, legs likewise, then finally my height was measured.

Eh? Height? I had some expectations but *cough cough*

Afterwards, we discussed the shape of the armor.

By the time we finished our discussion, it was already 6 oclock.

Paying for the katana, I would then come back in two days with the katanas receipt, after arranging that I returned to the inn.

Im back~. Id like dinner please.

Ahh, welcome back. Fujino-san, you have a visitor. The table at the back

After returning to the inn, the owner greeted me and pointed towardsa table at the back.

A visitor for me? Who could it be?

Uttering to the owner, I head towards the table at the back.

Who was there? It was that person who I had parted with half a month ago.
