Episode 117 [Toward the journey 1]
For the next few months, Chloe and I solved the city's requests to the best of our ability, leveled up in the dungeon, and made money.
Although the evaluation value of the city's requests was not that high, the trust in the guild increased further, and we were told that even if we went to another land, we would be treated preferentially through the guild.
"That's not what I was asking for, though..."
"Please accept this as a thank you from the guild."
To be honest, I knew about this preferential benefit, but since I didn't purposely request it from the city, I was a little hesitant about receiving it.
Preferential benefits, such as discounts at guild affiliated stores or covering accommodation costs at an inn.
Other than that, there are various other benefits for those who have a partner contract, such as the guild acting as a liaison when the guild does not have a partner.
“Also, since Gin-san and the others will be leaving on a journey soon, the master said that he needs someone to act as the last liaison, so we decided to give him one.Also, even though he is my partner, I don’t want him to be unable to do anything.”
We have already discussed whether to terminate our partnership contract when we go on a journey.
We thought from the beginning that there was no need to cut him off since he wouldn't be completely gone, so we told him that we didn't mind if he took the partner fee from another guild.
I never expected that Mr. Fine would be able to do his job in this way. Mr. Fine is also a person with a lot of energy.
``Even though I had been working on a request from the town for just a few months, I was given this preferential benefit.''
"That's what I thought too. I mean, other people are getting it too, right?"
“In that respect, there is also the fact that it is Jin-san and others.”
That's what Fine-san said, and she explained why Chloe and I were given preferential treatment.
Originally, we were treated as adventurers who were trusted by the guild as we had no success rate or failed requests.
There, a high-ranking person received a request from a princess, completed the request perfectly, and even contributed enough to receive additional compensation from the client.
It was explained to us that as a result, the guild evaluated our credibility highly and decided to give us this preferential benefit.
"...I really have to thank the princess."
"That's right. I have to do my best while traveling so that I can tell stories that the princess will really enjoy."
“Oh, really.”
After that, it seemed like we were going to be able to go on a trip soon, so we continued talking about that, and we left the guild and moved to Leeza's shop.
A few days ago, we decided to renew our equipment at Leeza's place, and decided to spend a lot of money to have her make better equipment.
"I'm looking forward to it. Of course the equipment I bought at Cynthia's store was good, but I felt the custom-made equipment when it came to weapons, but it's not as exciting."
"That's right. Besides, I spent a lot of money on this one, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what it turned out like."
“Ah, after all, it costs over 100 gold coins for one person’s equipment.”
Me and Chloe were growing up, but since we were going on a trip, we decided to take the opportunity to wear good equipment, so we decided to spend a lot of money on it.
There's nothing wrong with spending money on equipment, and even if it doesn't suit your body as you grow, Leeza said that you can adjust it right away.
If that's the case, I half-heartedly decided to spend a lot of money on making one.
I've been visiting Leeza's shop often and listening to her stories, and I've heard that they used some sort of dragon-type material.
“From what I heard, he said that although it is difficult to understand visually, the person who sees it will understand its value.”
"I want to be as inconspicuous as possible, but I'm just asking you to wear nice equipment. I'm looking forward to it."
While talking like that, we walked and arrived at Leeza's shop.
When I opened the door and went inside, Leeza was already waiting at the counter.
"I've been waiting for you. Jin, Chloe. Your new equipment is complete."
That's what Leeza said while smiling, and Chloe and I trotted closer to her.
First, Leeza started explaining Chloe's equipment.
Leeza said that most of the materials used in Chloe's equipment are from the ``Black Bear,'' which has particularly high defense power among beast-type monsters.
Chloe, who is both a support and a quasi-attacker, seems to have chosen this material for ease of movement and defensive power.
"Wow, that's amazing, Jin-kun! I thought it would be heavy, but it's not heavy at all and it's easy to move around!"
Chloe looked excited as she checked the ease of movement of the equipment by jumping up and down and making kicking movements.
"Just as I said before, it's also mixed with dragon-type materials, so the defense power of that equipment has increased accordingly. It's more defensive than the metal equipment out there, so fight with confidence."
"Yes! Thank you, Leeza-san!"
After Chloe thanked Leeza, she was itching to try out the equipment as soon as possible.
It's crazy, I can tell at a glance that she's happy when she shakes her tail, but it hurts when Chloe's tail slams against my thigh...
If I were to be careful here, Chloe would be in a good mood, so I held back.
