Other World Assassin Life of a Man who was a Shut-in

A few minutes after I started running, I was able to get to Phlox safely.

Then how dare Mr. Grace wait for me at the gate?

Seeing me, Mr. Grace rushed over to me,

"Yuma!? We've only had a few hours! Was there any trouble?!?

Oh, I see. You think Mr. Grace is in some kind of trouble and is on his way back?

"No, I didn't have any trouble. Cocatrice was able to crusade safely, too.

Yes, I told you, Mr. Grace looked terribly surprised.

"What? No, no, no! Are you saying that in such a short period of time you have even said Ston Forest and crusaded back!? You have a special way of getting around!?

"No, I just ran."

"You just ran...... oh, forget it. Go to the guild and let the lady know you're okay. Maybe I'm so worried I'll wait."

Well, is Sally waiting for me in the guild?

We have to hurry up.

"Okay. You're going in a hurry. Ah. Just one thing before that. I haven't dismantled Cocatris yet, but can you do it in your guild?"

"Yeah, then we can have them do it at the demolition center behind the guild."

Good. I couldn't dismantle it, so I was thinking about what to do.

I was going to ask Mr. Grace to do it.

"I see. Thank you. Then you're going to the guild yourself. Thank you for taking the time to wait, too, Mr. Grace.

Mr. Grace seemed illuminated when I thanked him so much.

I'm not happy with the shards when my old man looks at his lighted face, but he's still a good guy.

I followed Mr. Grace to the Adventurer Alliance.

You can get to the guild safely in a few minutes,

When I opened the door and went inside, Sally approached me with great momentum.

Your face is close. It's Sally.

"Yu, Yuma, I'm glad you're safe! I was so worried that Yuma would die because of me..."

"I'm sorry to bother you. But don't worry, there's nothing wrong with this street. Cocatrice has been successfully defeated."

"Eh, Mr. Yuma, you've really knocked me down, Cocatrice! Ah... no, I'm not suspicious, but I'm coming back too soon, and, uh, Yuma doesn't have anything..."

Yeah, speaking of which, Sally didn't know I could use the item box. Then I can't help but doubt it. I don't have anything right now.

"Oh, I have an item box. There is a proper cocatrice in it. You came home early because you were able to find Cocatrice relatively quickly and you were running and traveling!

"Run, is it? Yet, Mr. Yuma, you can use the item box! Amazing."

"Thanks. Then I'll ask you to dismantle the cocatrice, and I'll see you later."

Yeah, well, I guess I went looking for a demolition station in the back of the guild.

Fortunately, the demolition site could be quickly found.

When I looked around to see if anyone was there, there was an old man with something like a big knife, so I decided to talk to that old man for now.

"Excuse me. I'd like to ask you to dismantle the demon. Is it okay?

"Dismantling, no problem. I'll do it. So when?

"You're Cocatrice."

Saying so, I take Cocatrice out of the item box.

The old man looked a little surprised when I served Cocatrice.

But soon I went back to my original expression.

"Wow. Who's Cocatrice? You brought in another rare demon. Besides, you're the only rookie who just signed up for the guild today, right? It's a big deal."

Did you know that I just signed up today?

"You used to say that I just signed up today."

When I said that, the old man laughed a little.

"Well, you're a celebrity in the guild now. Somehow a kid who hasn't even become an adventurer said he defeated that red-eyed Lardo. Oh, no, but I'll get your attention. Besides, you're freshly registered and have a level of 29!? I've never heard of that! Even the Alliance is making a mess of promising newcomers."

I see.

I seem to have become a little celebrity before I knew it.

Well, there's no choice.

Well, leave that story for now,

"I see. So how soon is the dismantling of Cocatrice going to be over?

"Yeah, I think it'll probably be over in a couple of dozen minutes. And what about the Cocatrice material? If you don't need it, I'll buy it all over here.

Materials. Nothing but the heart.

You can sell it as it is.

"Right. Then can you buy it out here except for the heart? I'm glad you kept your heart in a different container."

"Okay. So, what about the kid? You want me to watch it here till it's over?

Hmm. There's nothing else I can do right now.

Maybe we'll get something. Do you think I'll look at it?

"Then we'll see. I'd also like to see a little bit about how to dismantle it."

"Whoa! Take a good look and study, kid!

Then, a few minutes later, the demolition seems to be complete.

"All right, that's it! I will contact the Alliance at a later date to discuss the purchase of Cocatrice materials! I'll probably be in touch in a couple of days."

"I understand."

"And this is the heart of Cocatrice."

I received a container containing Cocatrice's heart from my old man.

That's pretty big. Well, if it weighs as much as this, even Sally would be able to carry it.

"Thank you. Thank you for your patience as we may continue to bring in some demons."

"Whoa! Then I'll let you buy it again."

All right, now we're safe. Got Cocatrice's heart.

I'm sure Sally will be waiting for me. I went back inside the guild.

Back inside the guild, while Sally sat in the chair,

He seemed to be waiting for me with a restless look on his face.

When he found me, he smiled back on his face and approached me.

"Yuma, good job dismantling the cocatrice!

I didn't do anything...

"Thank you. So this is the container with Cocatrice's heart in it. Never heavy, but be as careful as you can."

I carefully handed Sally a container containing Cocatrice's heart.

"Thank you! Now you can help Lisa! What a thank you to Yuma really. May I thank you again at a later date?

"Um, I don't need to thank you. I also get a request fee.

"Still something!

"Hmmm...... well then I'm planning on staying at Mr. Salia's inn so I'd be happy to make some delicious stuff there. I've only eaten the same thing lately."

"Is it delicious, I understand! I work hard to make it for Mr. Yuma every day! So definitely come to Zinnia!

Sally left my guild.

Do you make it every day? Well, I plan to be in this city for the time being, so will I?

Now I thought I'd report the request, sister......,

Instead, I went to Mel's place and she was strangely stingy.

"Yuma, you can't really put it in the corner either."

What are you talking about?

"I don't know what you're talking about, but can I report the request?"

"I'm already lit up. Well, fine. I'm reporting a request. Wait a minute."

A few minutes later.

"Please wait. Here's five coins for the Cockatrice Crusade."

Five!? That's a lot. That's more than double Lardo!

Well, maybe it's reasonable because Cocatrice said it was B-rank-equivalent.

"Thank you."

"You can't be so lame anymore. Many times, Yuma, you are a newcomer to expectations. From now on, let's get the C-rank right."

"Thank you for your concern. Well, I won't be so impotent any sooner."

Oh, I didn't hear about Ginia's place in the Inn where Sally was.

"Excuse me, Mr. Mel. Can you tell us where the inn called Zinnia is?

"Ginia? Then it's about three minutes walk out of here.

Wow. Looks pretty close to here.

That sounds convenient.

"Thank you, Mel. I think I will be using it again tomorrow, so please keep it up."

"Nice to meet you."

That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna walk out the exit to take the guild.

But soon I notice something strange.

What is this gaze?

Jealous gaze seems to be the vast majority, but some of them bump clear hostile gaze.

Well, I thought I couldn't help but care less, and I left the guild.
