“h.e.l.lo, Isaac-san.”

Isaac’s mouth dropped open the moment he spotted us at the entrance of the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Eh? Eh? Eh? Didn’t you just leave for your mission this morning? [4] [8] Wait. Did you fail?! Aaahh!! What should we do!!??” [5]

“Ahem, we have defeated the Tyrant Forest Python.” I cut in quickly before further panic could set in.

“I- is this true?” [7] Isaac-san’s eyes were very wide. “If you’ve failed, you can say so!”

“I’m telling you, we didn’t fail.”

“No, I want to believe you, but-” [5]

Fer suddenly interrupted, “Hey, can I bite this rude little man?”

“”Ou! Bite him! How dare he look down on us!”” [7] Dora-chan snapped.

“No, you cannot. No biting. Dora-chan, stop instigating, Fer,” I scolded them firmly. [5] [8] “Hii!!” Isaac dashed behind me. “M-mukouda-san, i-i-is the Fenrir g-going to b-bite m-me?”

“Fer, stop with those weird remarks. Don’t you want your lunch? Let’s finish this quickly so we can have our lunch.”

“Mu, fine, let’s finish this quickly.”

“Ahem, Isaac-san. I have the Tyrant Forest Python with me. Could you guide me to the warehouse? It’s quite a large monster.”

“Ah? Oh, ah! Yes, yes! Let’s go.”

The Tyrant Forest Python was kept inside Fer the Magic Bag around Fer’s neck.

[9] From the lack of comments from the people in the Adventurer’s Guild despite the many stares, I’m guessing that they had been informed that I would be visiting with a Fenrir. Still, since this was a country I had never been to, despite its good reputation, I thought I should keep as many of my abilities under wraps and not openly show off my [Item Box].

Hence why the Tyrant Forest Python was inside a Magic Bag.

Even so, when the giant snake was taken out of the bag, Isaac-san’s mouth fell open wide for the second time in so many minutes.

“As per the mission request, we have subjugated the Tyrant Forest Python,” I said in my most this-is-all-normal voice.

“Naturally, there is no way we will fail a request like this,” [7] Fer snorted.

[7] Dora-chan was zipping around the room going, “”That’s right, that’s right, that’s right!”” [5]

“Ahem, if you would like to check the monster…” I hinted.

Isaac finally closed his mouth. [10] Only to open it later to gush, “Oh! Oh! Oh! Thank you! Thankyou thankyou thankyou!! Thanks to Mukouda-san, the upper level people won’t get on my back for this!!”

Ah, the tears and snot are… not very becoming of a middle-management boss. I get a weird kind of pressure seeing him like this…

“Uh, if we could settle the remuneration…” [7] prodding him to do his job should work.

[7] As expected, when reminded that he still had to perform some proper business transactions, Isaac-san quickly recovered himself to say, “Ah, apologies. I was overwhelmed just now. For the subjugation mission which, on top of the high-level difficulty, has an urgency tag on it the reward would be 230 gold. For the materials, do you wish to sell everything to the guild?”

Hmm, the materials… [1] Well, since our party is only interested in meat, let’s sell everything… Oh, but [5]

“I wish to keep a third of the skin,” I said, it would be a nice souvenir for Lambert-san.

After all, he was the one who takes care of the sale of Divine Medicine, Hair Power for me. [9] Since I’m always losing to him when it comes to bargaining (take more money Lambert-san!) I can only win by giving him rare and precious gifts.

Moreover, as a leather works merchant he, of all people, should appreciate something like a Tyrant Forest Python skin.

[4] “Yes, very well, a third of the hide and the Guild buys everything else from your goodself,” said Isaac-san happily. “The python is rather large and will only be properly processed on the day after tomorrow.”

[8]

“Oh no, in that case, I shall have to stay in this city for two days…” [5]

“What?!”

“”What was that?!””

“”Dungeon? Dungeon?””

“Ahem, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do about it,” I said, doing my best not to sound too happy. “It’s such a big monster that it takes time to dismantle, right? Isaac-san?”

“Ah, oh, yes, er…”

“Gunununu,”

Isaac-san shrank back from Fer’s glaring.

“[5] Stop that, Fer. Didn’t I say that the dungeon won’t go anywhere?”

“Humph! You just don’t want to go to the dungeon.”

[9] “”That’s right! That’s right! That’s right!”” Dora-chan was flying around in circles again.

“Ahem, that’s not it… oh, speaking of which, there’s something I’d like to ask you, Isaac-san.”

“Gunununu, you’re deliberately switching topics!”

““Liar! Liar! Liar!””

Shut up, you guys.

[Gumihou: He’s totally stalling. Also, is this the att.i.tude of the snivelly, noodle-spined mess from the disastrous Treasure Mountain Arc? Gumi totally pushed that hurtling OOC train back on track]
