Misunderstanding

Wa-wait a minute!

What?

What do you mean, what? Why are you taking that monster away!?

She shrieked as if she could not believe her eyes.

I thought it was pretty normal to take it back if its not what they wanted

Well, since its not the target monster, I thought I should take it back.

It-its true that it wasnt a Small Tiger But there are quests for that monster too!

But I didnt see any other quests for tiger monsters?

I had checked every request that was on the board.

And there hadnt been any with the word tiger in them.

Perhaps there was a tiger monster with a name that didnt have tiger in it.

As I considered this The receptionist walked over to the quest board and pulled off a sheet that was in the B-Rank section.

Here it is!

She said as she handed it to me It read, Hunt 1 Cannibal Tigre.

I see.

It said Tigre, not Tiger.

That was annoying, they should just stick to the same spelling

Actually

The reward seems awfully high?

It was written on the paper. 30 million cicols.

That was completely ridiculous for a normal hunting quest.

Perhaps there was a reason for this.

Its a B-Rank monster that has been causing much trouble. Thats why it is so high. This will be quite the achievement for you!

I see. I guess Im lucky then.

I was currently a D-Rank Adventurer.

As I had only gained that rank recently, it would be a while before my next promotionbut I suppose I was a step closer now.

Yes! Oh, as the prize and experience is divided between partic.i.p.ating members, please bring the others when you can!

Members?

What members? I did it on my own

I thought. But them I glanced over to my shoulder and saw the slime sitting there.

Ah. Perhaps they counted monsters as members too.

This fellow helped me, andanother wolf monster. Should I bring him too?

No one was scared if I walked around with a slime on my shoulder.

However, as the Proud Wolf looked like a ferocious monster, I could not bring him into the town.

This seemed like it would be very troublesome

Thats what I was thinking

Huh? A wolf? And slimes?

Yeah. They helped me kill the monster.

Not monsters. Humans What about the human Adventurers that fought the monster with you?

They were never there. Im a solo Adventurer.

I had been in a temporary party But it was just around 1 week, I think.

Upon hearing this..the receptionist looked at me with an expression full of sympathy.

I see Yes, there are some Adventurers who are like that.

I dont think solo Adventurers are particularly rare?

No, I am talking about those sad Adventurerswho lost their comrades in battle and are unable to accept it. So they convince themselves that they were solo all along.

What?

Okay, things were going in a strange direction.

Please dont worry about it. The Cannibal Tigre is a strong monster. I think that your deceased friends would have been very proud that you survived at all.

I see.

So I used to be in a party, but they all fell victim to the Cannibal Tigre, and only I survived

Thats what she was thinking.

Its true. I always work solo.

The guild knows what party every Adventurer is in. You do realize I can find out with a simple check?

Then, please do

I said as I offered my guild card.

That seemed like it would be less time consuming than further explanations.
