Ch 54 — Super High Quality Red Serpent

“I’ve got a purchase request, please . ” I announced .

A completely bald ojisan who looked like an adventurer came out . It was just like the Adventurers Guild in Fariel .

“OK, lemme see what you got . ” He squinted at my companions . “Oh, you’re with Rashu’s party?” The ojisan and Rashu-san nodded to each other in greeting . The bald-headed guy seemed to know the members of ‘Phoenix’ and Rashu-san .

“Well, there’s a lot of monsters . . . ” When I said that we were led back into the warehouse area .

“Won’t be a problem here . Get them out . ” he said brusquely .

First of all I pulled out five Orc Generals .

“H- hey, an Orc General . . . and there’s five of them?” I started to pull out the Orc King but I stopped when he looked surprised . I’ll hold on to the Orc King for a bit longer .

“These too, please . ” I took out three Rock Birds . I definitely need to get some Rock Bird meat, it’s got a delicious chicken flavour .

“R- Rock Birds too . . . ?” the bald-headed guy and the members of ‘Phoenix’ were shocked . I’m sorry for surprising them this way but I kept on going since there wasn’t nearly enough meat . Fer and Sui eat a lot after all .

“I’ve got Giant Dodo and Giant Deer as well . ” Everyone was stunned but I kept going .

“Murder Grizzly, Black Serpent and . . . Red Serpent . That’s all . ” I kept back the Orc King as I don’t need it for eating yet . The Metal Lizard probably isn’t edible the way it looks and what it’s called . The Chimera and Orthros are sealed away permanently since they’d cause me serious problems if I brought them out .

” . . . R- Red Serpent?” The bald ojisan broke his stunned silence .

“Yeah, Red Serpent . ” Was it a problem?

“Where did you catch it?” he asked, his eyes sharp . I felt intimidated by his stare .

“Well, it wasn’t me that caught it . . . ” I looked down at Fer lying down behind me as I spoke .

“Oh, right . A Fenrir could do it . . . ” The ojisan recognised that Fer is a Fenrir right away .

“For sure, ossan . A Fenrir could catch a Red Serpent or any other monsters of that rank easy . ” Rashu-san’s words made me worry . After all there’s the Chimera and the Orthros . . . . I’m truly sorry .

“What Rashu said . I shouldn’t be surprised . ” the ojisan said . The Chimera and the Orthros are permanently sealed . I’ll never take them out . Please forgive me .

“I’d never see so many monsters like this, usually . . . ”

“It’s the first time seeing Red Serpent for me . ”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen Black Serpent myself . ”

“Yeah it’s pretty amazing, and Mukouda-san even has an astoundingly large Item Box . ”

The other members of ‘Phoenix’ chimed in .

“Sure thing, it’s huge . ”

“Yeah, I’ve never seen anyone with an Item Box this big before . ”

“No no, it’s not really that big . ” I protested .

“Mukouda-san, would you join our party?” one of the members of ‘Phoenix’ said as they were talking about my Item Box .

Uh, d- don’t say that . . . Getting meat here is the main thing, stupid questions are an unwanted distraction .

“Groooowl . . . ” Fer snarled at the members of ‘Phoenix’ and bared his fangs . The threat petrified them .

“Hey you idiots,  shut up!” Rashu-san shouted at the other members, his face red with anger .

“Mukouda-san, we’re sorry, please forgive us . Can you stop threatening us?” he pleaded .

“Yes . . . Hey Fer, it’s okay, you can stop now . ” Fer settled down again .

“You lot talk too much . Got it?” said Rashu-san .

“Yes, yes, yes, yes . . . ” the other members of ‘Phoenix’ nodded like bobble-headed dolls, their faces white with fear . I’m sorry everyone but Fer is right . Anyway there are things in the Item Box that are going to stay there . Fer knows about them too, of course .

“Hey, sorry to butt in but can we get on with business?” the ojisan interrupted, trying hard not to laugh . “It’s gonna take me some time to get through all this . I dunno, maybe it’ll be ready by day after tomorrow?”

The day after tomorrow . . . ? We don’t have any meat left . I need at least one monster’s meat right now, just to cover today and tomorrow at least .
