Now then. One week is short. I have to use it meaningfully.
While thinking that, I went to the Milishion Adventurers Guild.
As expected from a place called the headquarters, it was a fairly large building.
It was a 2 story building, and was the largest of all the Adventurers Guilds I'd ever seen.
Though I say that, I've seen plenty of large buildings before, so I'm not really that moved.
First is information gathering.
For now, the main topic is the issue of the Fedoa region. Nevertheless, I didn't find any information that I hadn't heard from Paul already. In other words, the one most informed about this in these parts is as expected, Paul's search party.
What I searched for next was information on the monsters in the Milishion area. There was a large difference in the threat level when compared to the Magic Continent.
The 'Giant Locust' is a big locust, the 'Meat Cut Rabbit' is a carnivorous rabbit, and the 'Rock Worm' is a large earthworm etc. etc.
The number of extremely weak monsters is high.
Compared to the Magic Continent, the size of the monsters are small as well.
In the lands that we had braved, it was common to find monsters whose size were many times that of a human's.
Even the Pax Coyotes that we had hunted to extinction (exaggeration) were more than 2 metres long.
Things like the Acid Wolf were greater than 3 metres in size.
Even the Great Tortoise was on average 8 metres from front to back, and the largest ones were over 20 metres.
The monsters I'd seen in the Great Forest during the rainy season as well, were monsters that were about the size of a human.
Compared to that, the size of the monsters in the surroundings of Milishion were only about as tall as a person's knee.
Though it's not to say that the greater the size, the stronger they are, but their size is basically their only weapon.
In conclusion, the monsters in the Milishion area are weak. This area is safe.
Next I think about how to redeem the reputation of the Supard race.
However, it's difficult.
This is because there's a faction in Milishion that is trying to expel the Magic Race. The ones guiding this are one of the holy knight orders of Milis; the Order of the Temple. They loudly call for the Magic Race to be expelled from the Milis Continent.
Though I say this, the one who holds the most influence in Milishion isn't that faction.
The head of the faction that advocates coexistence with the Magic Race is the Pope incumbent, and so the Order of the Temple isn't openly trying to expel the Magic Race.
However, should a Magic Person cause a problem in town, these knights will immediately come flying in to blame them.
Even if their position is weak, as long as they have a just cause, they'll come down strongly on the Magic Race.
If we assert that Ruijerd is a 『Supard』 and do things on a large scale, it's probable that the Order of the Temple will immediately have their eye on us.
The city is always under the watch of the Order of the Temple.
In that case, how about outside the city then?
While thinking this, I accepted a certain quest.
The requests posted were mostly B rank, and this was one of those.
It seems that in the neighboring town, a monster was running wild.
It's in a place that is close enough for me to make a day trip.
The target for subjugation is an emerald green tiger; the Leaf Tiger[4].
Normally it's a monster that inhabits the southern parts of the Great Forest.
For some reason it's moved south and settled down close to the town.
Because it's fur is an erratic green pattern, with parts that are a brown pattern as well, when inside a forest it completely blends in with the scenery.
Because of the difficulty in detecting it, coupled with the fact that it moves in groups, it gained a B rank designation.
However, right now the target is a single leaf tiger, and moreover is on a plain field, you could say it's even less dangerous than an acid wolf.
Using the ranking system to describe it, at best it would be a D rank.
Finding a request like this during the time I was on the Magic Continent would have been cause for delight.
When I quickly make my way there, the timing was just right because the tiger was holding a chicken in its mouth, and was leisurely leaving the village.
Noticing me, it dropped its prey and growled at me, but Eris had just said 'Leave it to me' as she began running, and in the blink of an eye it was cut perfectly in two.
The request really was completed too quickly.
The villagers were very thankful towards us.
Lately, the tiger had been acting violently in the area, and a number of villagers and livestock were injured.
It seems that usually one of the holy knight orders would come to defend the town.
However, it seems that just a few days ago, there was an incident where a shrine maiden had been attacked nearby.
It seems that with the exception of the commanding officer, all the members of the Order of the Temple that had composed the guard unit had been killed, and the shrine maiden had just barely been saved, but the responsibility for the defeat of the unit lay with the commanding officer, and so he had been dismissed.
In the first place, lately there had been a lot of suspicious kidnapping incidents, and because the knight orders were becoming tense, this kind of incident had occurred. Because of that, both the religious order and the knight orders had their hands full.
Thus, the knights had left the dangerous B ranked monster problems to sort themselves out, and with no other choice, requests were sent out at the Adventurers Guild.
Well, the problems of the knight orders or whatever are none of our business.
Now then, with the information I've obtained, I'll begin my experiment.
I'll publicize the Supard race here.
Ruijerd is actually a Supard, and so that the Supard can get along with people all around the world, we're travelling around and piling good deeds.
The Supard clan is a race that's daunting upon first glance.
Thus, I create a stone statue.
If you look at this, Ruijerd's name is mentioned, and no matter how scary the Supard look, in the blink of an eye their attitude towards the Supard will soften, and like a stubborn grandfather looking at their grandchild, their expressions will relax.
After a few minutes they'll probably end up as soul brothers of a hundred years.
Even if I say so myself, it's a perfect sales pitch.
However, the village head had a complicated expression on.
Though he was grateful to Ruijerd as an individual, something of this level wouldn't remove the prejudice against the Magic Race, and as a follower of Milis, he was reluctant to have a statue depicting a Magic Person.
I was told this, and the statue was rejected.
My experiment hadn't gone well.
As expected, it seemed that things couldn't be solved in one go like that.
Or perhaps as expected, it wouldn't do unless it was a bishoujo figurine?
Should I start making gender-bent Ruijerd figures from now on?
No, there'd be no point then, huh?
"You made this kind of thing, huh...?"
On the way back to Milishion, Ruijerd had taken a long look at the figurine and strongly praised it.
"That's right! Rudeus is great at this sort of thing, after all!"
Then, seeing the figure, for some reason Eris said that in a boasting manner.
Though it was rejected this time, my figurines sell for quite a high price.
My figures of the Beast Race Sword King had caught the eye of some country's prince after all.
It wouldn't even be exaggerating to say I was a royal purveyor.
While thinking about things like this, I was feeling proud but...
"However, this stance is full of openings, huh?" said Ruijerd.
"That's true. The stance is no good, huh? It has to be lower..." said Eris.
In the end, the figurine was no good.
