I finished treating Gantt-san"s injury and then proceeded towards the Village Elder"s house to hear the details of the request; I headed towards the location while recalling my previous visit.
As normal, it was quite a large house. It was almost 3 times the size of the regular houses around it. Oops, it seems that I was almost bad-mouthing.
While observing the large house, I could see that there was a small house near the huge house. It looked like a storeroom, but upon looking closer there were people living inside it.
It"s weird. There is such a huge house so close, yet they are living in such a tiny house. Well, it"s not something that I can help out with. Moreover, the reason that I have come here for is something else entirely.
So I thought and walked towards the entrance of the Village chief"s house. Hoping that he was home, I started to knock on the Door and called out to the chief.
A few seconds later, a man came over and told me to wait for a few minutes. Later a man came over and as soon as he saw me, he gave me a cranky look.

[*Spit*, I thought an adventurer had come over, but to think it was just a kid]

Haa, ever since I crossed over to this world people seem to be treating me as child wherever I go, it"s probably because I have a kid-like face.

[Excuse me. My name is Yuuma, and I am an adventurer. I am the one who has accepted the Guros rabbitsu subjugation. Is Zonga-san home right now?]

I explained those things as comprehensively as possible.
But, I guess they still have their doubts about this.

[What you"re an adventurer?, Hahaha, stop joking already. Moreover, you are the person who has accepted the Guros Rabbitsu subjugation? Stop playing already. Rather than subjugating them you might just end up getting killed so stop playing around already]

This guy… is it fine if I punched him?
Stop, calm down. I must stop getting angry just because an arrogant spouts bulls.h.i.t about me. I am already 25 years old; I should handle this like an adult.
Moreover, this man looks like he is even younger than I am. He is probably only 20 years old. He might probably be the village head"s family.

[Oy, how long are you planning on standing there. Stop wasting my time and get out of this village. And I don"t have the free time to play around with you. And also when you get out of this village, don"t come back to this village for a while]

I think it really would be fine if I beat you for a while --!!
While thinking about such things about him, the man started to murmur something.

[No, wait. An adventurer named Yuuma, I seem to recall hearing this name from somewhere……..]

Ah, this is finally getting on the right track.

[If I remember correctly, it was Head, Head folder…..]

So close, but it"s a little off.
It can"t be helped. I"ll give him a hint. I get a little closer to the man and whisper Head Hunter, Head Hunter to him.

[Are, are you by any chance, Head-Hunter Yuma-san ?]

Alright, finally.

[Yes, that"s right. Since the misunderstanding has been solved, could you now take me to Zonga-san?]

[Ye-Yes. I am sorry for my rude remarks from earlier]

This is amazing. Their att.i.tude itself seems to have changed completely. I guess A-rank adventurers have quite the influence wherever they are.

[Umm, is it fine if I take a look at your Guild Card just to confirm your ident.i.ty?]

I was shocked by those words that the man said.
I had completely forgotten about the existence of the guild card. I could have completely avoided this confrontation if I had just shown them my Guild Card, wait it"s my fault so I can"t really blame them on this.
I took out my Guild Card from the item box and showed it to the man.

[I am very sorry for my mistake. I shall immediately take you to the village Head at once.]

And then we moved into the large house, it was really s.p.a.cious like the last time I had seen it. We reached a door at the end of the corridor where one of the men spoke to the door before opening it.

[Head, An A-Rank adventurer, Yuuma-san has come for a meeting]

The reply comes back soon allowing entry into the room.
The guy who spoke those words urged me to go into the room and so I did. But the rest of the men did not enter and only waited outside.
As soon as I entered the room I spotted Zonga-san, it might just be my imagination but Zonga-san seemed to be a lot thinner than before. Well, various troubles might have caused that to happen.

[It"s been a while Zonga-san]

Zonga-san replied with a smile to my greetings.

[It really has been a while, Yuuma-dono. You seem to have grown to the point that you were able to stop an invasion. That invasion would have even affected the surrounding villages and cities. On behalf of all the villagers, “thank you” for your contribution.]

Saying so, Zonga-san lowered his head to me.

[Please raise your head Zonga-san. It was not just because of me that the invasion was stopped; I just did what I had to do because I wanted to, and more importantly, it was thanks to everyone else that we were able to stop it. And It wasn"t just me that did the clean up afterwards.]

When I said so, Zonga-san raised his head but when he looked at me, he felt quite nostalgic at the circ.u.mstances….

[What happened?]
[.......Aah, sorry sorry. Yuuma-dono still spoke to me like an acquaintance so I felt glad about that. Well then, let"s get on to the main topic about the details of the request.]

Ooh, well the talk has already progressed. Even if I did not wish to speak formally, it can"t be helped that sometimes that I would get carried away.

[Yes, please]

The explanation started soon after.
After some time, the explanation was concluded and with that, I understood that the Guros rabbitsu was just behind the Farris Forest and that along with that there were 30 of them. This found due to the damages from the claws done to surrounding area and that their dull movements.

This was certainly valuable information. And knowing their habitat would make it much easier. Moreover, they seemed somewhat weak in my opinion.

[This is all the information that I have on them, is this fine?]
[Yes it is fine. This will make my trip much easier. Then I shall take my leave. I shall go to the Farris village tomorrow]
[Sure. It"s already quite late. Have a good rest and you can set off tomorrow]

I spoke to Zonga-san and was just about to leave the room, just then a huge voice was heard from outside.

[That"s why I"m saying that now is not the time; the Head is currently speaking to a guest.]
[I don"t care about that! Get out of my way this instant]

Seems like someone is arguing. But, I wonder who might be the person arguing outside the village heads room.
Just as I was thinking that someone barged into the room. To protect Zonga-san from any problems I immediately moved to protect him.

[Ji-chan, explain to me why you hired an adventurer instead of me! Explain it right now]

 

Ji-chan? In other words, the man that just burst into this room was the village head"s grandson? I feel like this will be a long explanation.
