"For the final, we will have you dismantle five monsters, including the monsters you have dismantled so far and the secret monster." (Moderator)
5 bodies seemed to require a lot of time and physical strength.
"The scoring method is the total score of 5 types: Wolf, One-horned Rabbit, Gator, Scorpion, and a secret. In addition, since there are many things to dismantle in the final, it will be over when three people have finished dismantling. Those who haven't done so will be graded at that point. I think some people have their strengths and weaknesses. It's good to start dismantling the monsters you're good at or take your time and carefully dismantle the monsters you're weak at. You are free to do so as well. As I have said many times, even if you are fast, it is not good to be dirty. You will be subject to point deductions, so please be careful." (Moderator)
If the dismantling was sloppy and dirty, it wouldn't sell.
No one would buy tattered fur.
"What is the secret?" (Shia)
"Like Tiger Wolf?" (Yuna)
"Blak Tiger or something?" (Shia)
Shia and I each tried to imagine it.
"Tiger Wolf aside, a Black Tiger isn't a monster like the ones you see around here, so I don't think it's possible." (Yuna)
"Uh, that's true. Then, is it a tiger wolf like Yuna-san said?" (Shia)
I didn't think there are that many Tiger Wolves, but maybe they could prepare about 10.
While we were talking about the secret monster, the moderator was running the event.
"Then, please bring the final monster to be dismantled." (Moderator)
At the word of the moderator, a wolf, a one-horned rabbit, a gator, and a scorpion were brought out on a trolley. However, one trolley was covered with a large cloth and could not be seen.
That's the secret.
The moment I saw the cart being carried away, I had a bad feeling.
Bear's intuition was making noise.
The cart carrying the monster stopped in front of each participant.
"Then please take the cloth!" (Moderator)
When the moderator said this, the attendants who brought the cart with the monsters on it took the cloth all at once.
I got goosebumps when I saw the monster that appeared from under the cloth.
"This time's secret is a spider!" (Moderator)
Why was there a spider here?
Maybe the spider I killed?
The venue was buzzing.
Some of the dismantling participants had disgusted expressions on their faces.
I couldn't see it clearly from here, but Fina's face next to Sanya looked pale.
"Tirumina-san, maybe Fina hates insects?" (Yuna)
"Yuna-chan. To be clear, you shouldn't classify that as an insect. No one would like a spider that big." (Tirumina)
Apparently, my understanding was the same in this other world.
No one liked spiders that big.
Even if I liked spiders in the original world, there's probably no one who liked spiders that are bigger than people. After all, it's an insect bigger than me.
I couldn't help but imagined ants, grasshoppers, praying mantises, and the bug called C being bigger than me. I get goosebumps.
"Mom, that big spider is creepy." (Shuri)
"I can't do that either. I don't want to fight." (Shia)
It seemed that Shuri and Shia were no good either.
"But if you're an adventurer, an adventurer guild employee, or someone whose job is dismantling, you have to be able to do it." (Ellelaura)
Ellelaura-san said harsh words.
"But, as expected, that spider." ()
"In the first place, can that material sell?" ()
Deborane said something that would sell.
"I'm not an expert either, but magic stones can of course be sold, and spider skins can also be sold. As expected, they don't eat meat like wolves and one-horned rabbits do." (Ellelaura)
Ellelaura-san's words reassured me. As expected, no one seemed to be eating it. If I remember correctly, Deborane also said that. Not that I didn't believe Deborane's words. Just reconfirm.
"Anyway, the adventurer's guild chose a monster that was quite difficult." ()
"There are probably many people who don’t like it." ()
"Is that so, after all?" ()
"I think it might be difficult for new adventurers and young people." ()
Well, I agreed with that.
It's fine if you gave up a hundred steps and defeated it with magic from a distance, but I didn't want to fight it in close combat.
"But there's an adventurer who defeated that monster. That's amazing. I guess he's a veteran adventurer after all." (Shia)
"Maybe those are the monsters I defeated?" (Yuna)
I answered Shia's words.
"Did Yuna defeat them?" (Shia)
I explained what happened when I went to the adventurer's guild the other day.
"Yuna-chan, you always solve big cases with ease." ()
"But I should have asked the adventurer who was with me to deal with the spider." (Yuna)
I asked Deborane and Lanz for help, so why is it here?
Or a spider killed by another adventurer?
"Yuna-chan. Disposal is more than just dismantling it. If they transport it to the adventurer's guild, it will also be disposed of properly." (Tirumina)
"Also, it'll make sense." ()
If you asked me, yes.
Even I didn't dismantle the monsters and animals I defeated, I put them in a bear box and either asked Fina or took them to the adventurer's guild.
At that time, when I asked Deborane to take care of the spider, he obliged with a smirk on his face.
Maybe they didn't dismantle it and took it to the Adventurer's Guild.
As I casually looked around the venue, I saw a large adventurer and two men standing together like goldfish droppings.
Deborane and Lanz.
Were you there to see it?
I got up from my chair.
"Yuna-chan?" ()
"Wait, I know someone, so I'm going to meet them." (Yuna)
I headed over to Deborane.
I came over to Deborane, who was looking at me with his legs crossed.
"Bear? You must have a good status to be watching from such a special seat." (Deborane)
Apparently, Deborane noticed me.
Well, maybe the way I look was easy to spot even from a distance.
"It's because I know the Guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild in the capital. She specially prepared a seat for me." (Yuna)
I wouldn't explain about Ellelaura-san and Fina because they were too troublesome.
"So what? I guess you didn't come to see my face." (Deborane)
"Just to confirm, that spider." (Yuna)
"It's the spider from back then." (Deborane)
As expected.
"Since then, the guild staff came to the village and retrieved the spider. They also decided to dismantle it." (Deborane)
Deborane laughed.
"Wasn’t Deborane supposed to handle it?" (Yuna)
"Handing it over to the Adventurer's Guild is one way to deal with spiders. It's not just about dismantling them." (Deborane)
Tirumina said the same thing.
"Besides, my promise with you is to dispose of the spider and use a portion of the profits from the process for the village." (Deborane)
It's a true statement that didn't make any sound.
As Deborane said, all I asked for was to dispose of the spider and to use some of the spider's materials to fund the reconstruction of the village.
"I have kept my promise to you. There is no reason for you to complain." (Deborane)
"That's right. Deborahne-san is not wrong." (Lanz)
Deborane explained with a grin.
I'm so pissed off, I want to punch you. At that time, I was an idiot for thinking that he was even a little good.
"And the person who suggested it was a guild employee who came to the village." (Deborane)
When he said that, nothing I could say.
I wondered if Sanya knew about this.
"Most of the spiders were killed by the Bear, and the guild staff took care of the spiders, so the money comes in without any effort, so it's all about the bear." (Deborane)
Deborane laughed with his mouth wide open.
I wanted to punch that smiling face.
But it's definitely true that Deborane and Lanz fought for the village.
I was the one who asked about the spider.
Deborane was not at fault.
"So, what about the village?" (Yuna)
"I told the guild. The issue of money and requesting is a matter between the guild and the village. I told them to do as you told me and use some of the spider's money. That's it. I don't know what happens next." (Deborane)
That's true, though.
There was no need for the adventurer to stick with them until the end. The rest was a problem between the Adventurer Guild and the village.
"I understand. Thank you." (Yuna)
It's annoying, but Deborane did nothing wrong. I resisted wanting to punch him.
"Hold on a second." ()
When I turned on my heel and try to go back to Tirumina and the others, Deborane stopepd me.
"What?" (Yuna)
"Take this." (Deborane)
Deborane threw something at me.
I immediately accepted it with a bear puppet. The bear puppet had a magic stone in its mouth that had a different shine than normal magic stones.
"What's this?" (Yuna)
"It's the King Spider's magic stone." (Deborane)
"King Spider's? Why me?" (Yuna)
"The magic stone is the proof of the person who subjugated it. Even if I have it, it's just a hindrance. Even if people think I was the one who subdued it, it's a nuisance." (Debroane)
"Is the material good?" (Yuna)
"Sometimes they just take the magic stone and leave it behind. No adventurer would leave a magic stone alone." (Deborane)
All I had to do was tell the Adventurer's Guild that I gave it to them.
However, since it's a great opportunity, I decided to have it.
"Thanks" (Yuna)
"Go back now." (Deborane)
Deborane waved his arm as if to scare away a dog.
I put away the magic stones in the bear box and returned to the audience seats where Tirumina and the others were.
"Yuna-chan, do you know that adventurer?" (Ellelaura)
"He's the adventurer who was with me when we defeated that spider, so I just asked him about it." (Yuna)
"I see. I really thought that kind of man was what Yuna-chan liked." (Ellelaura)
"Elelaura-san, stop joking about that." (Yuna)
It gave me goosebumps in a different way than the spider.
Author's Note
It's been a long time since we've seen the Goblin King, and it's Deborane's appearance.
Deborane is an annoying character, but he may be a person with common sense.
