Chapter 302

Tondemo Skill - 302 - City of Carelina Once More

I could see the familiar cityscape from between the open gates.

The city of Carelina Alright, lets hurry up and go inside,

Umu

Ou!

Fer trotted into the City of Carelina with me on his back. [2] Dora-chan was flying alongside as usual while Sui napped inside the leather bag.

The gatekeeper was a little surprised to see Fer but luckily recognised him from the last time we were here. [1] He was allowed in but I had to show them my golden S Rank card for Dora-chan to come with us.

Hurrah for the power of S Rank cards!

As I travelled along a familiar street, I had the feeling of homecoming. [1] This was the first major city I visited that welcomed me properly. It was also the first city where I stayed for quite a while.

I have lots of good memories here.

Alright, lets go greet the people at the Adventurers Guild! [5]

The receptionist at the Adventurers Guild recognised me immediately. She shot to her feet the moment we stepped in and began to laugh. She sounded kind of nervous.

Um, Receptionist-san, surely you dont have to be so anxious?

Just then, a muscular and energetic old man stepped out. [5]

It was Willem-san, the Guild Master. [5]

Oho, its been a long time!

Ah, yes, long time no see.

[8] I heard youve ranked up. An S Ranker now, eh?

Yes, Ive also picked up a new familiar. Please meet Dora-chan. Dora-chan, please come out.

For some reason, Dora-chan was stuck to the back of my head. [1] I dont know what hes doing but his nails are digging into my head and it hurts

Erm, hes a Pixie Dragon

Hahah! Youve finally gotten yourself a dragon familiar! [5] [9] He squinted his eyes, Where on earth did you get a baby dragon though?

Hes not a baby dragon. Thats what an adult Pixie Dragon looks like.

Gahaha! [9] I can imagine the reaction of a certain guild master about that! Willem-san laughed.

[9] Meanwhile, Dora-chan clung harder to my head. Was he so badly traumatised by Elland-san that he now developed a phobia against guild masters? I could only laugh helplessly as I tried to detach Dora-chans claws from my hair.

Hey, dragons aside, just walking around with three familiars is alread a very rare thing, commented Willem-san.

Really? I guess so hahaha, I deflected with a stupid laugh. Speaking of which, he does have a point there. [9] Ive seen Adventurers with familiars before but they usually only have one large monster or two small ones with them. I've never seen anyone with three monsters aside from myself.

I look forward to working with you while youre here, [9] said Willem as he patted my shoulder. Its good to have you with us.

I look forward to working with you too, I said. I plan to stay here for a bit and, [4] oh, I have need some dismantling service too. [5]

[4] Oh? I suppose youll want all the meat again?

[4] Yes, Id recently learned how to dismantle monsters, but Im afraid the larger monsters are beyond my skills for now. [5]

I see, Im sure we can do something about that. Lets head over to the warehouse. [5]

We trailed after the Guild Master to the warehouse.

[9] Willem-san threw open the door and yelled out, Ou, Johan, I brought someone to see you! Someone we havent seen for a long time!

At the Guild Masters call, a muscular middle-aged man stuck out his bald head and laughed, Oooh! Brother! Its been a long time. Are you here for business? Did you bring me something interesting to hone my skills?

[6] Ah not really [5]

Alright, show me what youve got.

I obliged and brought out the following:

Wyvern x 8

Wild Bison x 3

Golden Sheep x 3

Giant Horned Boar x 1

Rock Bird x 2

Blue Bull x 10

Giant Turkey x 3

The Giant Horned Boar was the size of a mini truck, [8] and not something I feel confident about handling. Also, I have a lot of Blue Bulls and took out only 10 of them this time. These two alone should yield a lot of meat.

Oh, Wyverns and Golden Sheep! And thats a Giant Horned Boar! As expected, Mukouda-san doesnt disappoint, Johan-san looked over the monsters excitedly. [1] [3] Its been years since Carelinas guild seen a Golden Sheep or Horned Boar. These are excellent stuff.

Im glad youre happy but, Can you handle it?

What- of course! [6] he slapped his biceps. My skills are topnotch.

Well, if thats the case, I said, feeling a little provoked, ould you handle a bit more?

Oh? But of course, it was the Guild Master who answered me. There was a huge grin on his face, Thanks to you weve managed to make quite an excellent amount of money.

Very well, I smiled back. What about buying the ones that you couldnt back then? How about it?

I took out the Chimera and Orthros thats been sleeping in my [Item Box] and looked challengingly at them.

Oh, and this one too, I upped the ante and took out a Dim Grey Rhino as well.

[6] The laughing, almost jokey tone disappeared at the sight of these rare monsters. Fufufu, dont worry, my reaction was the same as yours the first time I saw these legendary monsters too.

Um

Woah

I totally forgot you showed us the Chimera and Orthros before

[6] I must have blocked it out of my memory

Is that a Dim Grey Rhino? Damn, thats rare too.

Yes, well, I cleared my throat. Fer and the others went on a hunt and brought it back

What do you think, Johan?

Hmm, Ive handled Dim Grey Rhinos before. As for the Chimera and Orthros I guess its not impossible since the anatomy should be too complex said Johan-san. He seemed to be the calmer of the two.

Umu, well take the Dim Grey Rhino but Im afraid we could only take either the Chimera or the Orthros.

[5] So, youll take one of them? [7] I said hopefully. That will at least reduce the number of dead stock in my [Item Box].

Umu [5]

[6] Guild Master Willem studied the two creatures with a serious face while Johan and I waited tensely.

Tell him to take the Chimera,

Eh? The Chimera?

Umu, we can eat the meat.

Eh? Oh, right. I think Fer said something about this before but could this eerie-looking monster really be eaten?

Ahem, could Chimera be eaten? I asked out loud.

Not that Ive heard of, do you know, Johan?

Never heard about it either [5]

Well, thats not surprising. The people here don't seem to know that Averings soft-shelled turtles could be eaten either. [5]

Hmm, I guess the best way to make sure is to depend on [Appraisal].

[Chimera]

S-Rank monster. Edible. Its delicious whether grilled or stewed, first-rate red meat.

So, it really is edible moreover, the [Appraisal] even called it first-rate red meat. Though, not that anyone could guess from its appearance

Now that I know it could be eaten, I persuaded them to buy the Chimera. Naturally, I want the meat.

Alright, Ill take care of it, [7] said Johan-san cheerfully.

Give us four days. Ill have the money ready for you by then, said Willem-san.

I bade the Guild Master and Johan-san goodbye and left the Adventurers Guild.

Alright, lets head over to Lambert-sans place next. Im sure hell want to talk shampoo and soaps with me.

Also, there are some things Id like to consult with him.
