The Path to Getting Rich
On the morning of the following day, Lunaria shyly looked away when I bumped into her.
Afterwards she greeted [Good morning…]
It seems that I didn’t get hated after all.
Upon reaching the guild the very first word that the receptionist said is [Congratulations! We raised your rank from F to E!]
[Aah? Was it due to the completion of the escort mission? …Is it possible to raise your rank just by completing one mission?]
I still felt happy though~.
[Well, it is easy to rise from F rank. Moreover, the requester came over yesterday and elaborated on what you did. She is quite a fine young lady.]
Aah, it must be Lunaria. The
[Because it is was admirable action to protect the requester from a horde of monsters, your evaluation was increased as a result.]
It seems Lunaria must’ve been quite happy eh?
Did she wish that I could quickly increase my adventurer’s rank?
I felt guilty for not accepting her confession.
I need to thank her properly the next time we meet.
[Next, this is the reward.]
[Thank you very much.]
Although it’s fine receiving the reward directly from the proprietress, it is still better to obey the rules and retrieve the reward from the guild.
[Just E rank and you are already this happy.]
I turned around and saw a drunkard with his face lying on the table.
Seeing something positive happening towards other adventurers so early in the morning, those bunch of drunkards must be feeling unhappy.
Well, Rank E is still considered low.
[Well then, which kind of job would you accept next?]
[To be frank, a high paying one.]
This is Misha’s goal.
[I see…. let me see…. A job with high pay…]
It seems that the receptionist is checking various matters.
[Although there are various commissions with high rewards, with regards to ones Rank E could accept…there aren’t that much.]
That’s the reality of it.
Everyone would become an adventurer if even a rank E could earn a lot of money.
[Mmm? There IS a job which pays 5 million coins though. Furthermore, there is no ranking requirement for this job.]
[5 million!?]
I could buy 4 of those transformation grimoires! It will be 50 million yen if I convert to Japanese yen!
[By the way, what kind of mission is it?]
[The tomb of the royal family of the northern country has fallen into the hands of monsters, so they hoped to have someone to reclaim the tomb.]
Misha cried out [Nya~].
This means [No].
[Sorry, I will give this a pass]
[I see, speaking of which…]
I am sorry for causing you trouble, receptionist.
[Although there is no requester for this, do you know about the appearance of the Golden Slime at floor B23 of the dungeon?]
[No. This is my first time hearing of it.]
Because I did not dive so deep into the dungeon before.
[The Golden Slime is a monster which contains a high amount of gold. One of it weighs as much as the table over there.]
[From the way you say it, the slime weighs quite a lot eh?]
Although I faced many slimes during my dungeon exploration, most of them were made of liquid so I did not really care about their weight.
[We can retrieve large quantities of gold from this kind of slime and its magic stone is also very valuable, so it could be sold for high price. If you could bring back the entire body, the guild will purchase it for 6 million coins.]
[This is it!]
I screamed out without thinking about it.
However, a roar of laughter could be heard from the bar at the same time.
[Dumbass! This is floor B23 we’re talking about! It’s not a place where an E ranked adventurer can reach!]
A bearded man said it.
It’s true that I understood what that man was trying to say.
It is impossible for me based on common sense.
However, this man did not just treat me only as an idiot but also gave me some useful advice.
[Based on the adventurers that I know, many of them are about Lv 17 and also aiming for the golden slime. They only reached floor B23 after much effort.]
Ooh, speaking from his personal experience, I appreciate it.
It seems that he is not a bad person.
[However, speaking of the 23rd floor, every monster you meet is life threatening. Furthermore, the chance of a golden slime appearing is extremely rare.]
Well, there would definitely be more people hunting if that place is filled with mountain of treasures.
[Even if you reached that floor, you need to return to the surface before finding the golden slime once you sustain injuries. Speaking of which, there was a Lv 16 adventurer who died on the way back up. This isn’t suitable for you.]
[Thank you very much.]
Looks like his purpose is not to treat me as an idiot but to warn me.
[There are many ways for an adventurer to die. Due to financial constraints, some of the adventure also died while aiming for the golden slime. What is your level now?]
[…Lv 11.]
Maa, but Misha is Lv 71.
[If you go alone, it isn’t sufficient even if there are a lot of you. You should honestly earn money by hunting scorpions and centipedes on the upper floors.]
Misha remain silent while looking down.
That is true, nobody will have a hard time if it is so easy earning money.
Misha and I left the guild.
We hunted magic stones at a higher floor and returned to the inn early.
——————————————————————————————————
[Nya~, if I could transform into a more human form, I could go to floor B23 alone.]
At the night, Misha complained inside our room.
[Even if I defeated the slime now, I won’t be able to bring the body back. First of all, it would be difficult for me to put the slime’s body into a bag…. Also, I will be unable to carry it….]
Even though her dinner is dried fish, Misha looked extremely devastated instead of being happy.
[If only I had a human form, I could go in as a mage…. As expected, it’s impossible for a cat…]
I did not wish to see Misha showing such an expression.
Hence, there is only one thing left to do as her owner.
[…Misha, let us go to floor B23.]
[-! Stupid! This concerns Goshujinsama’s life!]
Misha immediately denied my suggestion on reflex.
[Although I’d have no problems, Goshujinsama might die even if you receive one hit! Do you still remember the matter regarding the golem on that floor B15?!]
There are definitely risks involved.
However–.
[If we move little by little, we can definitely reach it. Furthermore, Misha also knows how to use recovery magic.]
Misha and me stared at each other.
I did not have any intention to give in.
[…Haa…. I understand.]
Misha nodded her head.
[But, our target is until floor B23. We will return once there is any danger. Is this okay?]
[Un, I will leave the final decision to you.]
