Probably there are more than 100 monsters .  

Haruki, who finished off the Killer Rabbits' rampage by fighting continuously with his whole energy for 30 minutes, fell to the floor with his back, after making sure no monster was still alive .

A soft feel was transmitted to his back .  

He totally forgot that he was fighting while carrying a bag full of meat .  

The inside of his throat, body, and head was hot .

Haruki was breathing frantically .

His body trembled as soon as he began to relax .  

'If at that time I was. .h.i.t by an attack . ' 

'If at that time I let the Killer Rabbits through the pa.s.sage . ' 

His body trembled little by little when he was thinking of the worst results .

It was really nice that such a future didn't occur .  

Haruki was laughing in the middle of his thought .  

'The battle with monsters was fun . ' 

But the emotions and fears he showed were different .  

It was like a roller coaster or a haunted house, fun and scary at the same time .  

So, Harumi is now laughing while frightened .  

"Ah, I'm glad I'm alive . " 

He severely experienced the value of life .

"Um . . . . . . . " 

A delicate voice arrived in the ears of Haruki who was breathing roughly .  

It felt stiff, but it was a gentle voice like a little dog's caress .  

"Yes?" 

"Huh!?" 

The girl frightened as he turned his face .  

By the way, he was still wearing a strange mask .  

'Hm . . . , well, alright . ' 

'I would still notice you, even if you didn't shout!' 

"So what?" 

" . . . . . . tha, thank you for helping me . " 

"That is nothing . . . . . . " 

Haruki's words didn't last beyond that, because she held Haruki's hand while looking at him with her red eyes .  

"Really, really . . . . . . thank you very much . I thought I was dead . When I was abandoned by my adventurer group . . . . . . I thought I was finished . . . . . . . " 

While sipping her nose, again and again, she continued to say her thankful words .  

'Ah . . . . . . . ' 

'I'm glad that she is alive . ' 

'I'm really glad that she save . '

From the bottom of Haruki's heart, a warm emotion gradually raised .  

Because if she pa.s.sed away, it would be impossible to express her painful and hopeless like this .  

After Haruki's breath calmed down, he picked up the corner of the killer rabbit's corpses that filled the floor surface .  

'As expected, it is impossible to carry more meat, and it is not tasty if it is butchered without bleeding . Even if I forcibly bring it back and sell it, the most I can earn is only a small amount of money . '

The total number of horns was 48 .  

Haruki's bag wasn't enough, so he decided to make her hold it .  

Hah, hah, hah . (TLN: SFX of exhausted breath) 

'With this, my income will increase!'

'I somehow managed to recover the armour expenses, and managed to gain more income . '

" . . . . . . I am Kurosaki Karen, thank you so much for your help . " 

"Ah, I'm glad you are safe . " 

"Um, are you a Sapporo's ranker?" 

"No, I'm an ordinary low-cla.s.s adventurer . "

Sapporo also had strong people who were within the 100 ranks of "Let's be" ranking .  

But Haruki was not included .  

"Low cla.s.s!? Then, why did you jump into the monster rampage!?" 

"Ah, um . . . . . . I was in a daze?"

"It is a monster rampage that even an adventurer active on the 9th floor of "Chikho" escaped, isn't it? I can't believe a low-cla.s.s adventurer cutting through it just because you were in a daze . " 

Karen stared at Haruki's eyes with a serious expression .  

"Do you have a reason not to reveal your ident.i.ty?" 

"Well . . . . . . . " 

As Karen said, Haruki had a reason to not say it .  

The fact that Haruki was able to annihilate the rampage was thanks to the skill points he allocated .  

He wanted to explain it .

However, he was able to annihilate the rampage only because he allocated the skill points .  

How great the uproar created from this fact could be . . . . . . .

Every adventurer, without a doubt, would try to obtain this skill board .  

Even by killing Haruki .  

"Oh yeah, were those three adventurers your acquaintances?"

Haruki, who was troubled with the answer, forcibly changed the topic .  

"No . . . . . . . " 

Karen pursed her lips and gave a gloomy expression .  

"They were members of a team I recruited on the website . I thought they would help me to subjugate monsters . . . . . . but . "

'I guess it reminds her of the time when she was abandoned . '

Tears slightly gathered in her eyes .  

If they were ordinary people, it would be inevitable abandoning her and running away .

However, it was not a problem that could be overlooked if they were adventurers abandoning her, a novice .

Moreover, they planned something bad . . . . . . .

While recalling their conversation, Haruki's stomach was eager to move .  

An adventurer is a profession that protects people .  

You must never act violently or abandon someone weaker than yourself .

Of course, there were scenes where there was no choice but to abandon strangers .  

There might be circ.u.mstances that even team members must abandon them .  

However, they abandoned the job they undertook themselves .  

That's why Haruki's condition became worse .  

Haruki couldn't accept their behaviour that insulted the rankers, that he admired and other adventurers .  

********* 

"Hey look, my store's income is more than twice of 200% last year!" 

"Hey look, my store's income is more than twice of 200% last year!" 

"Grrrr . . . . . . . " 

Yutsuki Akane closed the armour dealer at five minutes past five o'clock and went to the neighbouring jeer, a material purchasing station .  

She fluttered today's sales report in front of the big plain well-like branch manager .

"Hey, how is this store's achievement? How is it?"

"Noisy, you are so noisy! Even though we're both branch managers, I'm your senior, aren't I? Don't you know something like a proper att.i.tude?" 

"In this world, results are everything . The young and beautiful me who can show a good result, compared to you who are a little older with ordinary appearance and ordinary results, don't you understand who is superior?"

"Who is old!?" 

'What an intolerant person are you?' 

'I just fanned you a little, but your face became red . . . . . . . '

'Yup, this feels great!' 

"If you are annoyed, why not try to surpa.s.s me with something other than age?" 

"Grrrr" 

Naturally, this big plain well-like woman att.i.tude and her poor character nothing for Akane . . . . . . or it should be .  

It was said that it's good to be young .  

With hatred as the detonator, the big plain well will be making efforts to increase her performance from now on .  

In other words, all of her behaviours were for the company . . . . . . probably .  

When Akane was fanning the material store's branch manager, a pair of male and female adventurers entered the store .  

"Welcome . " 

The branch manager was letting out a soft call, and her expression which was fanned by Akane disappeared completely and it changed into a business smile .  

Usually, she will issue fanning words from the side if she was seeing a situation like this .  

But Akane's consciousness was taken by the man of the couple .

She saw the man wore a mask that startling everyone .  

'He is the prey . . . . . . ah no I mean, the customer who came to my shop today . ' 

'He must have immediately tried the effectiveness of his armor in the dungeon . '

'His armor became a little bit dirty . ' 

'In addition, he wears that seemingly cursed mask . ' 

'It is terrifying to know that scary thing . ' 

'And this branch manager, not changing her tone even after seeing him wearing that unique mask, was expected . '

Even so, her experience was different compared to Akane .  

'Well, what kind of materials is he bringing back from the dungeon?'

Akane was interested .  

'If I know this, I can correctly measure his ability and his wallet's content . ' 

'In addition, I can forcibly sell the items that seem appropriate for him . ' 

While hiding near the wall, she measured the condition of the raw materials purchased by the shop .

A large number of horns was taken out from the couple's bags .

'That surely Killer Rabbits' . . . . . . . ' 

Killer Rabbit's offensive power is so-so, but it is an intellectual creature that can avoid and feint attacks which is a behavior not seen in the previous floors .  

Battle skill is necessary to beat it, so it is absolutely difficult for beginners to subjugate it .

Perhaps even a fast-growing adventurer would take a month to subjugate Killer Rabbits starting from scratch .

The materials they brought were more than 100 horns .  

Since female Killer Rabbit didn't have horns, that mean they defeated more than 100 male Rabbits .  

They were predicted to defeat 200 rabbits if the combined ratio of males and females was 1: 1 .  

If it was collected in just a month, he should not be a talented person who stopped at the bronze cla.s.s only .  

If it was collected in just a month, he should not be a talented person who stopped at the bronze cla.s.s only .  

That was because if he delivered 100 horns every day, he would earn 2 million yen - the minimum standard income of silver cla.s.s - in just 10 days .  

'As expected, that man is at least a silver cla.s.s . ' 

'Even if he is unskilled, he seems to at least have abilities of a gold cla.s.s . '

"Thank you very much for today . The purchase price of 101 Killer Rabbits' horns will be 202,000 yen . Are you okay with this a.s.sessment?" 

"Yes!" 

" . . . . . . well, are you going to use the team distribution function?" 

"Eh? What is that?" 

'Was he always solo until now?'

'It seems like he doesn't know the team distribution function . ' 

The IC card managed incomes and expenditures at the same time .  

Even if you decided to distribute later, when the leader secured income for the team, the card would calculate it as individual income .  

Of course, it was possible to deduct the distribution of the team directly from the IC card, but it couldn't be handled as expenses because it would be caught by tax evasion's countermeasures .

Therefore, it is unusual for only leaders to pay taxes .

The team distribution was used to compensate it .  

It was possible to charge the team members one by one by inputting the amount of money obtained from materials sold on the register side in advance .  

Distribution could correspond from direct input of numerical value to percentage method .  

In the case of an amount that could not be divided nicely, it was also possible for shops to cover single digits . That was a service from the store .  

Of course, this store also has that kind of services .  

"Well then, please distribute it . " 

"Tha, that is not good! I haven't done anything after all . " 

"No, didn't you carry the horns?" 

"I'm just carrying it, I haven't helped in the battle . " 

'Was she perhaps a supporter?' 

Both of the customers started to argue .  

Such a scene was rare .

Nonetheless, usually, the supporter would demand money . . . . . . .

"Then, let's make it half as much as Karen carried . The income for that part will be zero if Karen doesn't carry the horns, so this is thanks to Karen, isn't it?" 

"But . . . . . . . " 

The man brought his mouth near to Karen's ear as she tried to rebut .  

When he whispered something, Karen easily compromised to that man's idea .  

'But . . . . . . . ' 

While seeing both of them, Akane felt her body become numb .  

Clearly, Akane was convinced that the Killer Rabbits were defeated by both of them .  

However, in fact, it was different .

It was him, who wears a strange mask, who terribly collected the Killer Rabbits' horns!

The average of monsters subjugated for a day was at most 50 monsters .  

Even for the so-called "Let's be" rankers, who seriously hunt in a party, at most could only hunt 100 monsters .  

However, he defeated twice of that . . . . . . .

Of course, Akane had considered the possibility of those horns being collected in a few days .

However, if so, he wouldn't say "the income for that part will be zero" .  

That meant it was just in one day . . . . . . .

Akane's eyes were s.h.i.+ning suspiciously .  

'If he becomes more skillful, my shop's income will increase even more . '

*Slurp* Akane licked her lips .  

*Slurp* Akane licked her lips .  

"I am very sorry, I can't distribute only 48 of the a.s.sessed horns . " 

"Wait a minute!" 

Akane, who couldn't endure it anymore, cut off the branch manager's words .

(Hey, what's wrong with you?) 

(Why you don't recalculate it?) 

(Even if you re-appraise the carry-in amount, you still settle it over time . )

(Ha!?) 

(Don't you know our overtime is very strict? I don't want to be scolded later . ) 

(You are a fool . You really are a fool, right!?) 

Akane jerkingly shook the branch manager's nape .  

'They are without a doubt high-cla.s.s customers . ' 

'What would happen to us if we can't meet their demand?!' 

'If we refuse to re-a.s.sess it, they will go to other veteran shops like Kawas.h.i.+ma or Harima . '

'The 101 horns that supposed to be secured will become nothing!' 

'In addition, we will send salt to our rivals!!' (TLN: In j.a.panese, "Sending Salt to Your Enemy" means showing humanity even to one's enemy . ) 

"I am very sorry, could you spare a little time?" 

"Oh, well . . . . . . yes, it's okay . " 

Surprised by the appearance of Akane, the man's eyes are widened and he awkwardly nodded .  

'If we give him a benefit here, he will go to our shop even more . ' 

'That kind of chance is hanging in front of us . ' 

'Wasting it is something impossible!' 

Akane immediately revised the 48 horns from the beginning .  

She transferred 53 pieces and 50% of 48 pieces to the male side and deposited the remaining amount to the girl's IC card .  

"Thank you very much~ . " 

Seeing the adventurers leave the store after the distribution was finished, Akane waved her hand while smiling .  

Right next to her, the branch manager trembled .

"You . . . . . . . What you are doing as you please in my shop!" 

"If you don't understand that kind of thing, you will never able to increase your profit . "

The manager's conduct was as per manual .

In addition, the revision also took a lot of time .

If compared to the cost, the income earned was too low .

Moreover, it was scary to be scolded by the area manager from the headquarter if she worked overtime .

So in the short term, it was more appropriate and easier to induce changes in the distribution method .

These were, in the end, our circ.u.mstances .

For adventurers, as customers, those things were not their concern .

'It was useless to capture an immediate benefit, but miss a big fish . ' (TLN: "miss a big fish" means miss a big opportunity . ) 

'By acc.u.mulating such friendly service, a large bouquet of money . . . . . . ah, that's wrong; flowers would bloom in the future . ' 

'Even now, I believe that one day it will return to if I beat my superior, therefore, steady actions have to be done . '

"I will report your actions today to headquarter . "

"That's okay . Someday, you will weep out that you can secure good customers thanks to me . At that time, it would be too late to apologize . " 

"Good grief, I can't say anything . "

Of course, the future when that branch manager is weeping because of Akane would not come .  

That is because the large flower would always bloom for Akane .  

That future when Akane send the bouquet is close by .  

But she who brought the bouquet was the messenger of misfortune . . . . . .
