Tensei Kenja no Isekai Raifu ~Daini no Shokugyo wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita~-Chapter 54: We Made a Fortune

“Alright, now we can move onto the quest. Leaving this mysterious dragon aside, we need to collect the reward for the Earth Dragon.”

Tina declared once we were finished speaking to the manager.

“I hope it’s a lot!”

“There is a reward for the bandits as well.”

So saying, we moved towards the guild counter.

As they were more accustomed to it, Tina and Lisa went to negotiate.

I didn’t know anything about the usual rates.

“Riel. I’m here to report the completion of a quest.”

Tina chose the counter furthest to the left.

Judging by the fact that she knew her name, the girl was probably an acquaintance.

“Understood. The Earth Dragon, I see. Hmm, but Mister Rodis is not with you…”

“Rodis was with the bandits, so we killed him.”

Riel heard these words and her eyes widened in surprise.

Then her eyes moved down to the crystal ball on the counter.

It was probably a lie detector.

Considering the way that it was used, it didn’t seem like it was that useful…even for determining the completion of a quest.

Still, the crystal ball did not glow. Riel looked at us apologetically.

“I heard bad rumors about him, but a bandit… It is the guild’s fault that he was not discovered. I am truly sorry and glad that you are safe…” 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

“We’re only safe because of Yuji. And I don’t blame the guild for being fooled. After all, this was Gelios and his bandits.”

“Gelios!?”

Riel’s expression was now even more shocked than before.

Apparently, Gelios was a bandit whose name meant a lot.

“Ge-Gelios…I can hardly believe that you’ve come back alive…”

“We didn’t just come back alive, but we killed Gelios. …Well, Yuji did everything.”

“What?!”

Riel looked down at the crystal ball again.

It still wasn’t glowing. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

“The other bandits we killed were Eiji and Jilion and…”

Tina said the names of the bandits.

So she had known all of them…

I didn’t know if it was because her memory was that good or they were that famous… Perhaps it was both.

Riel listened to her and then said,

“They’re all famous bandits… I suppose that’s to be expected of Gelios… With all of them combined, the reward will be 4,000,000 cicols!”

4 million.

I was sure that Gelios was 2.5 million, so that meant the others were 1.5 million.

It showed you just how big Gelios was.

“4,000,000… That might be more than the actual quest we were on…”

“Well, the original quest should pay a lot too.”

Riel heard Tina’s words and looked puzzled.

Then she asked us,

“What? You three went on the Earth Dragon Investigation quest, didn’t you?”

“Yes, that was the original request. But we killed it.”

“Killed it? Killed what? …Surely you don’t mean the Earth Dragon…”

“I do. Of course, it was Yuji that did it.”

Riel looked very confused at this.

She seemed like she could not comprehend what Tina was saying…

And then she shouted with an expression of shock.

“WHHHAAAAT!? Two E-Rankers and one F-Ranker!? That is impossible!”

“We’re not lying. See, just look there. That being said, it wasn’t us three. It was just Yuji.”

“All we did was hide by the cliffs.”

Tina said as she pointed at the crystal ball.

“Th-that’s true, it isn’t glowing… If you did kill the Earth Dragon, the reward is 10,000,000…if you add the reward for the investigation, it is 10,070,000 cicols!”

We were being paid that much?

They were adding the original investigation reward, which now looked like some kind of error.

“Uh…so the total reward money is 14,070,000 cicols… As it is a large amount, please wait one moment!”

Riel said as she ran to the back of the guild. She returned with several other guild workers.

They counted the money together and then handed it to us.

“This is an incredible amount… Uh, how should we split it?”

Tina asked as she handed me the bag of gold coins.

As for splitting it, we had already decided that.

“We decided in the beginning that it would be split evenly. Besides, 1407 can be divided into three. Each of us can take back 4,690,000 cicols.”

“…Are you sure? You did almost all of the work, Yuji.”

“Yeah. But I wouldn’t even have known those bandits had prices on their heads if I was alone.”

And so I took out their amount and handed it to them.

I then had the slimes store my own share.

‘Keep this safe.’

‘Okay!’

I watched the slime put the gold away as I thought of the mystery dragon.

If we got 10 million for the Earth Dragon, how far would it go for a much stronger dragon?

…Well, I would rather not fight it if I could.
