Chapter 2


Chapter 2 – Hunting and exchanging for money


I reached the town . It was a fairly developed town when I decided to went on my way opposite to Princess Helena direction . It was a western-styled town where it was surrounded by stone wall . It was as if it was there for the sake of fighting and also for the sake of defending, anyhow it was one way or another .


As I walked near to the town’s gate, an armed soldier asked me to halt . There were two soldier, they were equipped with a simple armor and a long spear .


“Halt, from where do you come from!”


“Eh?”


“Asnwer me!”


One of the soldier asked me with his spear pointing onto my direction .


“Err… even if you asked me where I came from…”


I hesitated . Even if I tell them that I came from Japan, they won’t probably know such place .


“Why are you not answering!”


“Wearing a weird clothing . ”


“What a suspicious guy!”


“Eh ehhh!!?”


Certainly that had incurred my wrath, I realized that I am overall unique . But just because I wore a different set of clothing, that doesn’t mean that I’m suspicious . Eh, but I wonder do I really looked suspicious?


Well apart from the soldiers who was wearing armor, the clothing that I wore do looked a little bit different from the public that was throwing a glimpse on me from inside the town .


The first people that I saw were only the Princess, Knights and the bandits . And afterwards I met this two soldiers . That’s why I haven’t realized that the clothing that I wore is very different from the public bunch .


Now then, what should I do .


“If you are not answering, then we will have to apprehend you . ”


“Wait! Look at that!”


One of the soldier came forward to apprehend me, however the other one told him to stop . The soldier who asked the other soldier to stop said so as he pointed out to my waist area . What the heck was it about – or so I thought . But what was on my waist was the folding fan that Princess Helena gave me . I put it away in my pocket, thus the lower part of the folding fan was visible sticking out from my pocket .


“Ah, about this fan?”


I took out the fan and spread it open, and then the prestigious crest was visible .


“That is the royal crest, moreover it’s a folding fan . Does it mean…?”


“That is Princess Helena’s folding fan . However, Princess would never bestow something like that very easily . Before, there was a Marquis Knight who had done a meritorious deed in the war, and he had asked for the fan but he was never bestowed with it . That is how hard it is for Princess Helena to grant something, or so the rumors that I heard said . ”


“But,”


“But, however…”

The soldiers were whispering to themselves . If what they had said earlier to be the truth, then it looked like I go myself something amazing .


I stared at the folding fan .


Thinking about the time when I was bestowed with this folding fan, and about the person who granted it to me .


Princess Helena .


“Excuse me . ”


“E, eh?”


“Can we testify it to see if it’s the real thing or no?”


“Err, what should I do?”


“Pardon me me . ”


After that the soldier put his hand high on top of the fan and recited something . Then along with pale light emerging, the crest was coated with light making it looked like 3D .


“We, we are very sorry!”


“Please do proceed on your way!”


Looked like they somehow managed to confirm its legitimacy . The soldiers who were looking very sorry put away their spear and stand in ‘attention’ position .


“Welcome to Roizen Town . ” was what they said .


I passed through the entrance gate .


I wonder if it was because of the commotion that we made earlier, but it looks like all the people who was near the entrance gate had their eyes on me looking very curious .


“That is Princess Helena . . ?”


“It was the real deal it seems . ”


“Does it mean that Princess Helena has an intimate relationship with that person?”


“I wonder if he’s a new Royalty .


As my hearing ability was raised 777 times too, I can clearly what all the onlookers had been saying . It’s good if all of it are good things, but there are some bad things too .


Clothing . Food . Shelter .


The fundamental things that you need in order to live .


For clothing, the one that I wear right now should do it . One way or another . But I do need to get myself a new one sooner or later . The problem now is food and shelter .


The solution for that two is…? Having money . In short, I must earn myself some money . What should I do in order to do that – was what I was thinking to myself .


“Move away, clear the path!!”


Behind my back, there were a group of people of four riding a carriage passing through me . Behind those four people there were two wagon with two giant beast loaded .


The beast were chained tightly, it weren’t able to move . I don’t know if it’s still alive or dead . The group stopped in front of a certain building . They then drove the carriage inside the building one by one .


“Yossha! After we got the money let’s go drink!!”


“It has been a while, tonight I’m going to drink to my heart content . ”


After they said that they gone off to somewhere .


“Just now, are they turning the beast in for money?”


Wanting to know for myself, I head towards the building and entered it .


Inside the building . There was the group who entered earlier trying to get the beast on the wagon down . There was one man who was commanding them . I made my way to the man who was commanding .


“Excuse me . ”


“What is it?”


“Can you sell the beast that you hunted?”


Cutting off the chase, I asked directly to the point .


“Yeah, if you hunt this mountain cow you can get yourself considerable amount of money . ”


“Mountain Cow? Is this a cow?” I said as I looked at the beast .


Certainly, looking at its appearance it do looked like a cow . With a long mane and sharp tusk it do looked considerably ferocious .


Frankly speaking, it doesn’t look anything like herbivore, more like a carnivore sort of beast .


“Are you alone? Don’t take it bad but if you don’t have more man power then you better give up thinking of hunting this beast . To take down this beast alone need 4-5 experienced people, if its inexperience than 5-10 people if not then it would be very dangerous . ”


“Is that so?”


“Yeah, the meat is absurdly delicious but hunting it would be very dangerous . ”


“For the meantime, can you tell me where can I find such beast?” I said asking for location .


The man kept on reminding me that hunting the beast down without cooperators would be very dangerous . Well in exchange, the price Mountain Cow would sell very high .


***


I got a map from the man . Following the map I exited the town . Mountain cow seems to appear at the grassy plain, near the neighborhood where the mountain could be seen .


“Ah, is that it?”


I located the Mountain Cow at the distant remote place . To be precise, I saw a bunch of people hunting down the Mountain Cow . It was a group of six people, 3 people act as the vanguard while the other 3 works as the rear guard .


“There’s already people before me, looks like I have to find for another . ”


Thinking so I left the scene and began searching for a new target but…


“Uwahhh!!”


“Jobu! Shit! How dare you do this to Jobu!!?”


“Stop it, don’t make any bad move!”


From the voice that I heard, things doesn’t seems to be in their favor .


“Stop moving and concentrate!”


Afterwards the scene of where the mountain cow began retaliating towards the hunting group one by one could be seen . Not long after, the vanguard had fallen and the mountain cow directed its wrath towards the rear guard .


The rear guard who was being aimed at cowers .


“Chii…” Clicking my tongue, I rushed out .


Covering the distance of 100 meters in a split second, I tackled the mountain cow . The mountain cow was blown away, but it stood up once again . As expected, this mountain cow is even more sturdy than a human .


I went on pursuit, even more I went down on throwing punch on both side of the mountain cow’s side . It was a normal punch; however, it was quite a splendid set of punch .


The mountain cow was sent spinning to the air, and was not able to stand up any longer after that .


***


I put the mountain cow on my shoulder and went back to the town . It was surprisingly light, or maybe it felt very light to me because of the power up skill that I got .


“Ah! Don’t tell me, did you do it all by yourself?”


“Yes, it way surprisingly easy . ”


“Impressive . Ah this is…” As the man said admiringly he brought out a sack and gave it to me .


Inside the sack were silver coin which I’ve never seen before . As the bag was pulled out quite quickly, maybe the market value of this mountain cow are equal to the amount of silver coin that I got .


“Hey you . Do you think you can turn in the cows regularly? If you can then I will increase the price that I sell to you by 10 percent . ”


Somehow he gave me quite a good deal .


“Regularly by how much?”


“Every two days, if possible every day . ”


“I got it, I’ll try my best . ”


“Thank you for the help . ”


I gave a slight bow and leave the place . For the mean time, I got myself an easy job, and got myself on some money .


“After that…”


I looked up to the sky, without knowing it was already evening . First, I need to find a place to sleep tonight .
