Chapter 516: Adventurers Value

After waiting for a while, their argument seemed to be over. Then Dianne spoke to her with the same haughty look as ever.

Oi, Adventurer

What?

Ill allow you to accompany us for now

Uwaah, who does this guy think she is? I could tell that Fran was getting annoyed with her.

How much will you pay?

Are you trying to extort money from me!

No, what are you talking about? How could you hire an adventurer as an escort free of charge? However, Dianne cursed Fran even more

This why adventurers are

Isnt it common sense that we need to pay to hire an adventurer as an escort?

Lady Khanna, Im telling you that I will protect you by myself! It would be an honor for me!

Knights really are hungry for honor huh? Thats great, but adventurers dont work for free

Im sorry, were a little lacking in the common sense of adventurers. So how much would you like for us to pay you?

Young lady!

Dianne shouted when she saw Khanna bowing her head. However, Khanna replied with a sharp glare at her knight.

Silence, Dianne

Wha! Why!

Do not impose your value on others. The value of a knight is different from an adventurer after all. Because even among the knights and n.o.bles, their value is different

That is

Hey. If youre just gonna talk forever, can I go now?

Aah, Fran was getting bored with them. But before Dianne could say anything to Frans words, Khanna bowed her head again.

Im sorry. So, how much would you like for us to pay you?

Hmm

Hmph. Im sure shes gonna ask for a lot of money from us anyway. But its fine, here

Dianne said so and threw a leather bag at Frans feet. Doesnt this guy have any learning ability? Khanna is staring at her with displeasure, isnt she? When Fran picked up the leather bag and opened it, she found about 2,000 Goldes in it.

Its just for one night, isnt it quite an exceptional deal?

What are you saying! The most you can hire with this money is an E-ranked or lower adventurer.

Fran is a B-ranked adventurer you know? Theres no way she could be hired for only that much money even if its only for one night. See! Fran is looking really annoyed now.

Its not so much for her haughty att.i.tude when giving the money, huh? I know that she was making fun of her job as an adventurer, but this must have definitely put Fran in a bad mood.

In other words, she has been told that shes only worth that much.

Those who exchange the glorious work of protecting the weak and hunting magic beasts for menial and vile money will risk their lives as long as they are paid, wont they?

Could it be that she is deliberately trying to make Fran angry so that the negotiations will break down? Or does she hate adventurers that much? But there was no way that Fran would consider such a situation and take a wait-and-see approach.

Fran threw the leather bag back at Diannes feet a little harder and opened her mouth.

Not enough

Nonsense! Its only for one night, you know? How much would you like to extort us for just a one-night job!

Im a B-ranked adventurer. Theres no way I can be hired with only this much. The request fee is proof of evaluation to the adventurer. If Im only worth that much, then the negotiation has failed

Hmph. Thats just like what an adventurer who sells themselves for money would say. Then how much do you want me to pay

If you want to hire me. Then give me all your money

What nonsense! Dont be ridiculous! Then how do you think well sustain our journey in the future huh!?

Im not joking. Either you dont hire me or youll give me all your money. Thats your choice. You like that, dont you?

Huh?

Money is menial and vile, isnt it? Ill take care of all of it for you then. Or is the money thats so menial and vile really that important to you? Did you tell a lie even though you were a knight? Aah, or were you just a liar?

Aah, shes angry huh? She has said a lot of words after all.

Maybe shes going to say everything she wants to say and p.i.s.s them off with it. Now it seems, it was Fran who was planning to break the negotiations.

Guh That Incomprehensible reason is

I dont even know you, but dont make fun of adventurers

Hiii

Dianne, who had been hit by Frans intimidation, paled and fell on her b.u.t.t on the spot with tears build up in the corners of her eyes.

No matter how much she despises us, the fact remains that we are overwhelmingly powerful. And right now, they were turning on each other. I guess she has realized that.

Shortly after, Khanna intervened between Fran and her.

Thats enough. Dianne, its your fault. Even I feel uncomfortable listening to your words. Dont talk anymore

Y-yes

Ooh. She made it look like she was angry with her escort, but in fact, she has protected her from Fran. Moreover, there was no change in her expression even though she knew that we could strike her with intimidation.

Fuh

Im really sorry. Ill give Dianne a scolding later and I wont let her say unpleasant words to you again. So, can you please calm your anger?

Fran releases her intimidation and turns to face Khanna. Sure enough, this girl is special, isnt she? While others, such as Sh.e.l.la, who had watched Dianne being put through her paces, looked as if she were about to have a stroke, but there was not even a hint of fear on Khannas face. There was no lie in her apology either.

So, what would you do? Do you want to give me all your money? Or not?

About thatCan you give me more time to pay for it?

Nn?

To be honest, we really need to get to the town of Shenarl with the money we have

(Shenarl?)

Its a town located in the western part of Belios Kingdom. It also located near the Academy of Magic were heading to

(Ooh, I see)

If I give you all the money I currently have. Well be troubled with our future journey

Interesting. Even though she was looking at Fran, who was so intimidating, she was still trying to negotiate with her. Moreover, she was looking up at her with an upturned eye.

I didnt miss the thin smile on Frans face. Perhaps, seeing Diannes disgusting behavior had cleared her mind and left her with interest in Khanna. She seemed to be amused by her fearlessness in negotiating the price.

I understand that youre strong and Im sure youll need a lot of money, but thats all we can afford. Can you accompany us to the next border checkpoint with this?

The leather bag she held out to her was filled with gold coins over 30,000 Goldes in it. The interesting thing was that it was surprisingly appropriate.

This is about what a B-ranked adventurer would get for a one-night escort on a place where the magic beasts level is low. No, if these girls already have some fighting power and are prepared for the camp, this was rather too much.

I dont think she understands this However, I was sure that this was the reason why Fran liked her so much.

Okay. And in return, that guy is

Of course, I wont let her say bad things to you anymore

Nn. Then Ill accept the request

Thank you very much!
