I wonder if it’s fine to leave the goblins here… this isn’t a field though.
Would throwing them into the forest solve it?
Ah, while I was thinking about that Meat and Ichika came back with the rabbits (beheaded) from the forest. That was fast.
“Goshujin-sama, I hunted the meat.”
I wonder if hunting stimulated her dog-eared girl instincts? Meat was faintly smiling. Guess she’s satisfied.
For now, the three of us went to hanging the rabbits upside down, putting them into the bag when blood stopped coming out.
“What about the goblins’ magic stones? Well, they’re not much but it’s nice to get some extra money as F-rank.”
“Goblins have magic stones?”
According to Ichika, it seems they’re buried in their brains. It takes about a minute per to find the magic stone.
Its head was sliced open with the sword and its brain scrambled around… Uoeh… What came out was a scrap magic stone even smaller than the one I could get with 10 DP. I guess with five of these it might be worth around the 10 DP magic stone…?
“It’s a demon so it has a magic stone. It’s pretty small, but demons have magic stones somewhere in their bodies. If the rabbits also had magic stones, they’d be demon rabbits soon… Hmm, I guess this’d sell for a copper… ah, I think it’d disappear after a night of being used in that light magic tool at last night’s inn.”
If five goblins really did become thirty copper, it wasn’t worth the time in getting its scrap magic stone for a single copper. It’s obviously more profitable to use that time to hunt another goblin.
… I wonder if it’s fine to throw them away now? This takes too long.
I got the scrap magic stone from Ichika for now. It might be useful for a golem.
Returning to the town with rabbit meat in hand, we immediately headed to the grilled meat skewers stall.
“Oh, you brought rabbit meat?”
“Yeah, here. Please assess it.”
He decided to purchase the headless rabbits I took out from the back.
Of course, they were all for the highest amount of twelve copper coins. With six of them, that made seventy-two copper. I didn’t get the money from him since I would receive it from the guild. Adding it to the reward from the goblins, it made around one silver and two coppers. A silver coin was a refreshing reward.
“Ku—, you did a good job… Eh, by some chance, is that Nee-chan your new comrade?”
“That’s right! The name’s Ichika. Good to meet ya! My~, that smells gooood. I wanna eat that meat skewer, Goshujin-sama~, buy it~?”
“Hahaha! So An-chan? I’ll throw in a small extra if you buy it, so?”
“… Well then, I’ll take three.”
“Thanks for the purchase!”
Handing him fifteen copper coins, I received four meat skewers. One as a freebie for buying three seemed like a lot.
I handed two to Ichika and one to Meat.
“Though An-chan, she’s a beauty. Even the small Jou-chan has an amazing future, you’re pretty attracted to looks huh.”
“She was a pretty good bargain. She’s noisy when it comes to food though.”
“Haha, then go ahead and be a regular customer to my shop. Ah, right. I bought the meat from An-chan, but it’s even more delicious and popular than usual. If possible, I’d appreciate it if you sold it on a regular basis.”
“I can’t just hunt rabbits… my rank went up.”
“Ooh, congratulations on that. It’s fine if it isn’t rabbits then. Boars or something like that, I’d buy whatever so long as it’s delicious. I was originally a butcher, with this stall as a side job. I can handle anything.”
“Come to think of it, I hunted goblins.”
“Hahaha! Goblins are horrible no matter if you roast them or boil them ya know?”
Is that so~.
“Well, could you tell me the secret to making the rabbit meat so delicious? I’d offer up to twenty silver.”
“Heeh… that’s pretty generous. What if he teaches ya? Will there be delicious meat stuffs here whenever?”
Ichika spoke with some strenuous effort, at least it was probably that.
In truth, even I appreciate good meat… but it’d quickly spread around if I told him.
Alright, let’s not tell him.
