Chapter 9: Even in the other world, you won't be able to avoid administrative matters.
We reached the goal of our journey, the border town Falliéres.
It seemed that they were already informed of our presence from when we passed through the border fort, because when we arrived, Hati was let in without too much trouble. It wasn't as much as when entering the country, but to get into the city I had to pay taxes again (2 silver for me and 1 for Hati), and it hurt me a little to do so.
Passing through the gate, I found an envoy from Margrave Lindell waiting for me, just like Werner had said there would be.
"Sir Hajime, am I correct? I am a servant of Margrave Lindell, Edmond. It is a pleasure to meet you. To tell you the truth, Margrave Lindell would love to meet you, Sir Hajime, and has sent me to invite you."
'I see, it's finally here, a forceful invitation event.' However, I didn't want to meet him. I didn't plan to stay in this country for long, after all. 'Let's refuse him politely, here,' I decided.
"No no, a mere traveler such as I would never dream of a meeting with Margrave Lindell."
"Oh no, Margrave Lindell insists —"
"No no, I should say —"
"No no no, it is I who should say, please, come with me —"
While Edmond and I were attempting to push each other around with words, Hati came over.
"S-So this is the great A/rank beast." Edmond managed to say that through a face strained with fright at Hati's sudden appearance.
"HI-HIEEeee..." Edmond finally cracked when Hati bared his teeth, and ran away, screaming.
"Hati, that was too much."
"Those kinds of idiots do not learn unless if you do it like this." 'Yes yes, is that so?'
"Is it okay to treat Margrave Lindell's envoy like that? Nobles are very protective of their reputation, so he might try something."
Werner's worry was entirely warranted. I didn't think Hati would go that far, either.
"There is no need to worry. If they try something all we have to do is face it head on." 'Wow, well I'll be counting on you Hati ol' buddy.'
"Well, Hati will be with you, so it'll probably be fine." When Werner said that, the other members of Iron Will nodded in agreement.
"I don't think a noble's private soldiers would ever be able to stand up to Hati." (Franka)
"What Franka says is right. I think so, too." (Rita)
"Actually, the only thing that could rival Hati would be something like an ancient dragon, no?" (Vincent)
"You can say that again." (Ramon)
The fantasy mainstay: 'Dragons. So they really do exist. I don't want to see one at all, though.'
"Mm, an ancient dragon... Truly, that one is probably the only one who can fight evenly with me."
"Eh? Hati, have you fought an ancient dragon before?" Vincent latched on to that statement, excited.
"Around 400 years ago, yes. That time was a draw, but I will not lose the next."
"WOOAAHHH Awesome!! A battle between legendary beasts, I would have wanted to see that..."
"Same here..." Vincent and Rita seemed to be fired up, and Franka and Ramon were showing wry smiles while watching them.
"Hey, hey, calm down everyone. We're going to report this to the Adventurer's guild as soon as we get Hajime's signature that the quest is completed, got it?" I signed the quest complete report when Werner asked.
When I tried to return the red boar meat, I was refused. They said that it couldn't pay for the rockbird meat they'd eaten, but I should have it anyways.
"I really have been treated well by you guys, especially after taking all the red boar meat. Thank you all very much." I would never have made it this far without the members of Iron Will.
"Not at all, we got to have a good time too. We even got great food out of it, so overall it's been a good quest, no doubt." I was gratified that they said that.
"Really, thank you all very much. Well then, farewell."
"You too, Hajime." The members of Iron Will left, hands waving.
'Okay, so I've accomplished my current goal, but what should I do from now on? I started pondering my current situation. I don't plan to stay in this country long, but for now I should register to the guilds here, I guess. I should register for the Adventurer's guild as well, as Werner suggested, but right now I want to go to the Merchant's guild, my original plan, first.'
"Hey, Hati. We're going to the Merchant's guild."
"Mm? Are you going to become a merchant?"
"At the very least, I hope to do so. But I also plan to register at the Adventurer's guild. I want you to hunt your own meat from now on, but I can't butcher the monsters myself. Also, we could use the funds from me selling the other materials from the monsters you hunt to the guild. It's okay, right? If I sell the other parts?"
"Those are not things I need, so I do not mind. More than that, I want to eat tasty meals."
"Yeah yeah, I get it." 'Man...' I couldn't help but think, 'this guy, rather than a legendary beast, he's just a gluttonous snackhound.'
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Hati and I arrived at the Merchant's guild.
When I entered with Hati in tow, everyone was surprised and it caused a minor ruckus, but everything calmed down after I desperately explained that he was my familiar. Currently, I was listening to an explanation of the guild at the receptionist's counter. The person taking care of me was Mikaela, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed bombshell. Mikaela's explanation was as follows:
・The Merchant's Guild is an organization that supersedes countries.
・There are five ranks within the Merchant's Guild:
Iron Rank → Traveling Peddlers or Stall Owners (those that do business without a brick-and-mortar store)
Bronze Rank → Privately Owned Stores (small, privately owned stores such as a town's butcher or greengrocer)
Silver Rank → Small-scale Firm (a modestly-sized firm in a single city)
Gold Rank → Mid-scale Firm (a comparatively-larger firm with several branch stores)
Mithril Rank → Large-scale Firm (a large firm with many branches)
・Registration fees, annual fees, and taxes depend on your rank.
Iron Rank → Registration fee of 5 silver → Annual fee of 1 gold → Taxes of 2 gold
Bronze Rank → Registration fee of 1 gold → Annual fee of 2 gold → Taxes of 4 gold
Silver Rank → Registration fee of 2 gold → Annual fee of 5 gold → Taxes of 10 gold
Gold Rank → Registration fee of 4 gold → Annual fees and Taxes depend on how many branches exist.
Mithril Rank → Registration fee of 8 gold → Annual fees and Taxes depend on how many branches exist.
・Annual fees and taxes must be paid within 1 year of acceptance into the guild.
・Starting from the day you register, your rank and qualifications are reevaluated and renewed every year. Your membership will not renew if you have not paid your annual fees and taxes.
・The taxes you owe are paid to the country; the Merchant's guild takes responsibility for the delivery of this payment.
・In the case that you lose your guild card, the reissue fee depends on your rank.
・If you participate in illegal business practices, the Merchant's guild is allowed to expel you.
・It is possible to start from Iron Rank and gradually work your way up.
・Please consult the guild if you are troubled by anything, including cases of: setting up a store, needing investment funds, or acquiring inventory.
'As expected of the Merchant's guild', I thought. 'Everything I want to know is explained to me kindly and carefully.'
"So, Hajime, sir, what kind of business are you planning on opening?"
'About that... since Hati's around and I want to go around seeing the world myself, I don't want to be stuck with a brick-and-mortar store for right now. If that's the case, I guess Iron Rank would work well', I reasoned to myself.
"I have a familiar, and for the moment I have no plans to open a store, so I think Iron Rank would be a good fit. Would you register me as such, please?"
"Thank you. Your registration fee will be 5 silver, would it be alright to continue the registration process as-is?" My wallet was feeling a little empty at the moment, but if it was only 5 silver I could pay it, so I went ahead with the registration process.
"Now then, this will be your Iron Rank guild card, sir. As I explained earlier, in the case that you lose it reissuing a guild card will cost its own fee. For an Iron Rank, that cost will be 8 silver, so please be careful about not losing it." '8 silver, huh? That's quite a lot. I'll have to be careful not to lose it'.
Oh, there was something else I wanted to ask, as well. "Umm, excuse me, but does this guild buy goods wholesale? To tell you the truth I've come across some things during my travels..."
"Wholesale? It depends on the good, but yes, we do buy." 'It depends, huh? As expected of a Merchant's guild, they have a discerning eye.'
I was thinking of having them buy some salt and pepper off of me. Those probably wouldn't cause a problem.
"Okay then, I will bring the goods I would like to sell to the guild tomorrow."
"We will be waiting. Thank you for registering with our guild today." As I left the Merchant's guild that treated me politely and warmly behind, I realized that I had forgotten to ask about an inn where I could stay with a familiar.
I hurried back to ask Mikaela about it, and she recommended a place named "Jumping Horse Inn." She gave detailed directions, so I headed there immediately with Hati.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
It was just as Mikaela had told us: Hati was able to stay in the Jumping Horse inn as well. However, a room with accommodation for a familiar cost 7 silver a night. I was slowly growing more and more destitute.
Hati had been led to a separate building behind the inn, so I headed over there.
"Hey, I held it in during lunch, but I have been hungry for a while now, you know?" 'Now that he mentions it, we didn't have lunch, did we? Hati didn't raise a fuss about it, either. He might have been trying to be considerate, which is kind of unlike him.'
"Sorry, sorry. Let's have an early dinner, then." We were right in front of the shed for animals, but no one was around but Hati and I, so I could go ahead and cook there. I might as well eat too, while I was at it.
I still had some of the red boar meat that I got from Iron Will, so today was going to be red boar steak. 'I should cut Hati's portion extra thick, too', I thought.
'Also, for my portion, it's been long enough that I want to eat that', I considered. And by that, I meant rice. The one thing a Japanese person needs is rice, after all. But at the moment all I had was one miniature stove. 'Cooking rice takes time, too...' I considered, 'Hmm, what should I do?'
Tomorrow I was going to sell salt and pepper to the Merchant's guild, so I needed to buy some of that. 'But that should also earn me some money', I considered, 'and it's not like having one will cause me any trouble, so let's get one of those.
My wallet's getting lonelier and lonelier, but I really do want to eat rice'. With that decided, I used the Online Supermarket to buy rice, an earthenware pot, another portable stove, as well as five kilos each of the salt and pepper I was going to sell tomorrow.
The rice I bought was Koshihikari rice, which I often used to eat at home. I'm not sure how much the salt and pepper will be worth, so for now I settled on only five kilograms. In total, it cost me around 8 silver.
I could feel the lightness of my wallet on my soul, but I was looking forward to making some profit tomorrow.
'Now, let's start cooking'.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
First, wash the rice and let it soak in water for around half an hour.
'While that's happening, let's get moving on Hati's steak'. Seasoning the red boar meat with salt and pepper, I cooked both sides on a pan. It was a bit rare, but it should be fine. The steak was finished once I put it on a plate and added some steak sauce to it. Steak is going to be amazing as usual. I still remember my first attempts to cook a steak with the help of Guga videos.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
"Here, Hati." When I handed it over, Hati ate one immediately with two chomps and a lick of his chops. 'I cut that steak pretty thick, though...'
"This is tasty! Give me more." So I grilled even more red boar steak for Hati.
'I'll use this sauce for Hati's next steak'.
"Here."
"*Chomp* *Chomp* Mm, it tastes different from the last one. However, this one is delicious as well."
'Heheh, so he noticed'. There are a lot of different types of steak sauce, so I prepared several of them. The first one was garlic-flavored, and the next was grated radish.
Having these sauces was pretty handy. They were good to fry vegetables with, and the garlic one could even be used to make garlic rice. In addition to the steak sauce, teriyaki and yakiniku sauce could also be used for a variety of purposes so I used to have them stocked in my house. One of my best is Creamy Peppercorn Sauce. I got these sauces when I was buying food in preparation for my trip over the border.
I kept grilling steaks to appease Hati's appetite. Next, I used onion-flavor, and butter-flavor after that. 'Whoops, the rice should be finishing soon', I noticed.
'Let's put the clay pot on the stove'. I got the pot up to a boil by setting it to a little stronger than medium heat for 10 minutes, before letting it sit at low heat for 5 minutes, and, finally, letting the rice steam for another 20 minutes with the fire off. I ended up making about 450g of rice, but I could just throw the leftovers into my Item Box and it would stay just as fresh as when it was made.
Because my Item Box is the same one that summoned heroes have, its storage space was basically infinite, and it also stopped time for items within it. It was the only thing that made me grateful for their method of summoning heroes to deal with their problems.
Meanwhile, I continued to cook steaks for Hati while this was happening.
"Make the next one the same flavor as the first, if you would."
"Garlic flavor? Okay... here you go."
"So this is called 'garlic-flavor' then, it truly is delicious."
"So you like this flavor?"
"Quite. They are all tasty, but this is my favorite." 'Hohohh, I see I see; as for me, I think cheese-flavor would be my favorite, I thought.
With that said, the rice should be just about ready, so let's do that. First, pile the freshly made rice into a bowl. Cut the red boar steak into large-bite-sized chunks, and place it on top of the rice. Over that, pour some cheese-flavored steak sauce, and it's done. A red boar steak bowl.
'All right, let's try some...'
"D-Deliciouuusss~" *Mmgmmg* 'This is great, wow. The red boar steak is good, but so is the rice soaked in steak sauce. We Japanese really do need rice. Rice Da Bestー!'
"Hm, that looks tasty. Give me some of that, too."
'Ehhh, Hati wants some too? If I don't give him any here it looks like he'll make a big deal out of it... There's no other choice. Wait though, if I do that, the rest of the rice will go straight into Hati's belly. Awww, man.'
When I made Hati his own steak bowl (garlic-flavored), he started to chomp it down promptly.
"Mm, this is good. I had thought that grains were not something edible, but this is pretty good."
"Right? Rice really is the best." 'I don't exactly hate bread', I thought, 'but it just doesn't stir up the same appetite that rice does. Fried potatoes and chips are also good.
Being able to eat rice like this even though I'm in another world is all thanks to my Online Supermarket', I thought thankfully. 'At first I was like, "What the hell is this?" But the Online Supermarket is just incredibly convenient'.
'*sigh* That was delicious. I'm full, such satisfaction'. As I basked in the satisfaction, Hati started grooming himself, so he must have been satisfied too. 'Ah', I noticed with a start, 'it's a bit too late for this, but wasn't it bad to feed cats and dogs anything with too strong a flavor? Also, aren't onions no good for dogs?'
Hati was wolfing it down like there was no tomorrow, so I guess it was okay. In the first place, Hati is a magic beast from a different world. He seemed to be perfectly fine, so I guess there was nothing wrong and I didn't need to worry.
"All right, well, I have to get ready for tomorrow, so I'm gonna go back to my room."
"Understood."
After I got back to my room, I started preparing the salt and pepper I would sell to the Merchant's guild tomorrow. The salt I bought came in a paper bag, and the pepper in vinyl packs (5 packs of 20 grams each), so there was no way I could just bring them into the guild as they were. 'I guess I'll need to move them', I decided.
'I can put the salt in this jute bag I bought at the general store where I also got my wooden utensils', I thought. 'As for the pepper, I think this wooden vessel with a lid is good enough'.
'Right, my preparations are complete', I thought with satisfaction. 'I'm a little tired from all this, so I guess I'll go to sleep early'.
While wishing for the sale to go well tomorrow, I fell asleep on a bed for the first time in a long while.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
The next morning I was pressed to cook a large amount of steaks because Hati said that he wanted the same thing as yesterday.
'Yep, he's a carnivore'. The rate at which we went through meat was amazing. I still had some red boar meat left, so everything was okay for now, but he did eat the rest of it for breakfast. I was going to need to get Hati to go hunting soon if this kept up. And if that was the case, I'd have to go register at the Adventurer's guild. 'I guess I'll go after I go sell this salt and pepper at the Merchant's guild', I decided, resigned. 'Today's gonna be busy as well'.
By the way, my breakfast ended up being a simple ham and cheese sandwich and some black bean soup. 'Yeah, there's no way I could eat steak first thing in the morning'.
After that, I headed over to the Merchant's guild just as planned. I took Hati along with me, because we were going to visit the Adventurer's guild right afterward, too.
Mikaela, who took care of me yesterday, was here today too. "Good morning, Mikaela."
"Good morning, Hajime, sir."
"I've come to sell what I talked about yesterday. This is what I was talking about..." Having said that, I took out the jute bag full of salt and the jar with the pepper in it from my Item Box.
"I will take a look. This is...excuse me for a little bit." Mikaela took one look at the pepper and stood up.
'Huh? Maybe bringing pepper really was a bad move?' They say that back in ancient times pepper was worth its weight in gold, so maybe 100 grams was a bit much.
After a little while, Mikaela returned, wanting to lead me to a room in the back. I told Hati to wait before following her. In the room, a man in his 50's with a good physique was already waiting for us.
"Please, take a seat. I am Robért, the guildmaster of this branch. Pleased to make your acquaintance." 'Oh man, so the guildmaster makes his appearance? Yeah, I shouldn't have brought out the pepper'.
After he told another employee to leave the salt and pepper on his way out, the guildmaster started inspecting it with an, "I'll take a look." Just as I would expect out of a person who made it all the way to the rank of guildmaster, he started confirming the smell and taste with a sharp look on his face.
"I've been in business a long time, but this is the first I've seen salt and pepper of this high quality. Salt with so little impurity that it is pure white and has no bitter or unpleasant taste in the mouth, and pepper with such vivid smell and taste. I can only say that it's wonderful." 'Is that so? But when buying this from the Online Supermarket the salt was only 5 copper for five kilos, and the pepper was the same for 100 grams', I thought to myself.
"By all means I would like to buy this off of you, but where in the world did you get it?" 'From my Online Supermarket. It's salt and pepper produced from another world, so I can guarantee its quality... As if I could say that'.
"While I was traveling, you see..."
When I started trying to avoid the question, the guildmaster said, "That was a boorish question. A merchant shouldn't reveal their sources so easily, I guess." He said while laughing. "Well then, about the price — how does 4 gold for the salt and 10 gold for the pepper sound?"
"What?" 'Th-That's a joke, right?' I started panicking, 'it was only 1 silver to buy both of them, but the salt is worth 4 gold? And the pepper 10? Eh, ahh, umm...I knew that salt and pepper were expensive in this world, but is it really that much?'
"As I thought, that's too low, huh... Then how about 15 gold for the both of them?" 'Woah, he's just raising the price on his own. Does he think I'm hesitating because I've been quiet? No, I'm just surprised is all'. In my confusion, I couldn't stop my thoughts from racing.
"Kh... Fine then, 17 gold for both of them. I can't go any higher than that." I didn't know what kind of misunderstanding the guildmaster was operating under, but he raised the price even further.
"Y-Yeah. Th-That's fine." 'S-Seventeen gold in one go... The cost was only 1 silver, and I got 17 gold...' I thought, amazed.
'I'm profiting hand-over-fist here', I realized. 'I'm the one that's asking them to buy it, so it's not gonna work every time, though. If I start constantly bringing in salt and pepper like this, they really will start to wonder how I got it. I should probably limit this to once per guild branch', I decided. Even so, I was thankful to have obtained a way to get money in a pinch.
Accepting the 17 gold, I decided to pay the year's annual fee and tax right now.' It's better to pay this type of fee when you can', I thought to myself. 'It'll be awful if I let the deadline approach and all of a sudden I don't have the money for it, after all'.
"I have certainly received the annual fee of 1 gold and tax of 2 gold for an Iron Rank." Whew, with this I'm good for 1 year'.
I put the 14 gold I still had left over after paying the annual fee and tax into my wallet. Added to what was already in my wallet, I now had 19 gold, 5 silver(975€), and several iron and copper coins each. It seemed like I'd be okay for now.
'Well, I have an idea for if I find I don't have enough', I thought. It'd be easier for other stores to trust me when selling if I were to have a Merchant's guild card. And I had my Online Supermarket, so I had a wide variety of things I could sell. I was glad that I decided to join the Merchant's guild.
'Alright, next I guess I'll go register at the Adventurer's guild'.
With my wallet comfortably thicker after selling that salt and pepper, I left the Merchant's guild.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
I arrived at the Adventurer's guild.
Just like the Merchant's guild, the guild building was quite large compared to the rest of the town. As expected, it was full of grim-looking people holding weapons. 'I'd say it's about four physical fighters to every one magic user?' I thought, looking at the people inside. At any rate, I was amazed at how they could do such a dangerous job.
Well, I was about to register for said job as well. I didn't plan to get into fights like an adventurer at all though, not one bit.
I was thinking about this and that to take my mind off of things, but the stares ever since I lined up were really something. This was probably that, "An adventurer? You? Don't make me laugh!" cliché, but they probably couldn't try anything with Hati right next to me. I wasn't sure if they knew that Hati was a Fenrir, but it seemed that they instinctively understood that laying a hand on Hati would be dangerous. I was so glad Hati was there. I'd get messed with all day if it wasn't for him.
'I want to hurry up and run away from this place already.'
'Haahhh, won't this line hurry up?'
After a while, it was finally my turn. "I'd like to register."
"Then please, fill out this form here. It's fine to leave spaces blank if you can't answer them." The receptionist at the Adventurer's guild was beautiful, but also felt cold and blunt. 'Yeah, the Merchant's guild was politer', I thought.
I'm not sure if it was thanks to the hero summoning too, but I could write this language just fine, so I filled out what I could. I only ended up filling out the essentials: name, weapon (I didn't plan on using it much, but I should probably have one anyway just in case, so I wrote down "short sword"), and the fact that I had a familiar.
"The registration fee will be 5 silver. Okay then, please drip some of your blood onto this card." After paying the fee of 5 silver, I was given a copper-brown card and a needle. I did as I was told, and pricked the tip of my finger to drip some blood onto the card.
"Your registration is complete. You will start at the bottom, G-rank. The quests that you can take are only G or F rank, so please understand that." 'Huh? Is that all the explanation I'm getting for the Adventurer's guild?'
"Is there something else?"
"Isn't there more to explain?" The receptionist made a clearly annoyed face that Hatit like she was saying, "What? You're actually gonna ask that?"
'I'll ask. I'll ask the hell out of it!' In these cases, if one doesn't properly ask about it first, it'll come back to haunt them.
With no other choice, the receptionist started talking. 'Man, the receptionist at this Adventurer's guild has a bad attitude. The difference between her and the receptionist at the Merchant's guild is like heaven and earth', I complained in my head. 'Mikaela explained things kindly and carefully with a smile from beginning to end, you know?'
The Adventurer's guild explanation, full of unwillingness, went like this:
・The Adventurer's guild is an organization that supersedes countries.
・Adventurer ranks are as shown below, ranging from G to S.
(Low)G→F→E→D→C→B→A→S(High)
・The only requests an adventurer is allowed to take are requests of their rank, or one rank higher.
・If an adventurer fails their quest, there will be a monetary penalty for breach of contract.
・Depending on the adventurer's rank, they will be forced to take a certain number of quests within a certain time frame; otherwise, their registration will be made null. If the adventurer wants to reregister, then he or she will have to start from scratch as a G-rank.
G → 1 quest a month
F, E → 1 quest every three months
D, C, B → 1 quest every six months
A, S → 1 quest a year
・Murder or thievery will get one forcefully expunged from the guild.
・There will be no personal fights between adventurers.
・The Adventurer's guild assumes absolutely no responsibility for the actions of its adventurers.
・The Adventurer's guild assumes absolutely no responsibility in the event of an adventurer's death or injury.
Or so I was told. Basically, an adventurer was responsible for themselves. I had no intention of raising my rank at all, though. I was a brand-spanking fresh newbie so I was a G-rank.
'So a G-rank needs to do a request a month or their registry gets nullified, huh. If that happens, then the registration fee I paid goes up in smoke. Thinking like that, it would be better to do a request while I'm here, shouldn't I? I need to get Hati to hunt some more, anyway.'
Getting away from the receptionist with a bad attitude for now, I headed over to take a peek at the quest board. Even if they said that I could take requests one rank higher, I was still a newbie who just registered, so I felt like I really should take a request of my own rank, G.
'G-rank, G-rank... Oh, this one and this one both look good. It's clichéd, but they're both requests to harvest medicinal herbs.'
・Cure grass x5: 1 silver each
・Merge grass x5: 1 silver and 3 copper each
'For now, these two are the only contenders, but the reward for merge grass is higher, so I wonder if that means it's harder to find?'
Just as the trope dictated, it seemed that in order to take the request I had to physically take the notice off the board and bring it to the receptionist, but also it looked like once someone took a request off the board, they had to accept it.
'If that's the case, I'll go for the cure grass.'
I took the notice for the cure grass and headed over to the counter. By the way, I made sure to go to a different section and different receptionist than the one that gave me the explanation earlier. Her attitude was several notches better, but there was still a huge difference between here and the Merchant's guild.
I immediately left the guild after asking where the cure grass could be found.
I was relieved that I got through that without being messed with thanks to Hati's presence.
Cure grass could be found on a grassy plain right outside the east gate. It was right outside the gate, so there wasn't much danger, but I felt I should still go ahead and get that short sword. 'I wrote down that I used a short sword when I registered at the Adventurer's guild anyway', I thought, 'so let's go buy one before I look for the cure grass.'
"Hati, I'm gonna stop by the weapon shop for a bit."
"Hmph, even if you do not ready a weapon, I am here, so it will be fine."
"What about when you're out hunting? I'm by myself, so it's just too careless to not have a weapon at all."
"There will be no problems if I just erect a barrier."
'What?'
"B-Barrier? You- Were you able to use magic like that?"
"Of course I can." 'Of course I can,' he says, but this is the first time I'm hearing of it though.
Actually, I just noticed this, but I'd never appraised Hati before. It was a bit late but I decided to do so now.
[Name] Hati

// As I mentioned, Fenrir is one of the most powerful beings in the world. Queen Fitoria would be around level 700-800.
It was so incredible, I was left speechless for a moment.
'Whether it's level or HP or MP or whatever, isn't he close to max stats? And his age is 1014, I guess he wasn't lying when he said he had lived over a thousand years. Does that mean he raised his level and stats to near max over 1000 years? He's normally just a gluttonous snackhound, but I guess Hati is unexpectedly amazing.'
"Hati, I just now took a look at your status, but you're an amazing guy, aren't you?"
"Why are you stating the obvious?" 'Ahhh, right, right. Is that so? Then, I'm counting on you to put up a barrier after we leave the gate, man.
Well, I'll still be getting a short sword as insurance, though.'
