Voices flew around, and the wyvern was dismantled at tremendous speed.
It didn't matter who would win.
"Who do you think will win, Fina?" (Yuna)
I asked Fina, who had the best eye for dismantling among us.
"Um, maybe that old man?" (Fina)
Fina answered with a little worry.
He was an old man who I had had my eye on many times since Wolf.
Although the dismantling was not particularly noticeable, he was steadily dismantling and winning.
"Fina-chan. Why do you think so?" (Ellelaura)
"Well, the people who are being given instructions are dismantling it to make it look easy." (Fina)
Fina answered Ellelaura's question.
While other people were raising their voices, dismantling was being carried out quietly over there.
It was different from other teams.
"Perhaps, but I think it's because that old man comes in right when the other two are getting into the difficult part that the demolition goes smoothly." (Fina)
I understood when Fina said it to me. Indeed, the old man had been quietly moving around, helping with his dismantling, and then returning to his own dismantling after a while, over and over again.
The two support staffs seemed to be working as if they know everything about what kind of disassembly they were doing and which parts they were weak at.
And Fina's eyes were right, the old man won the fourth round and advanced to the finals.
Two people advanced to the finals.
In other words, there were two monsters in the final. I could imagine what kind of monster would appear.
Maybe they would be the two cockatrices I gave them.
The final match went to a cockatrice, just as I had imagined, and the winner was that old man.
In the end, I wasn't able to see any new monsters. However, when the wyvern and cockatrice appeared at the venue, there was a lot of emotion, including surprise and fear.
The winning elderly man was presented with an award and received applauses from the audience.
"Fina, how was it? Did you learn anything?" (Yuna)
"Yeah, I can't do it yet, but I'm glad I got to see a wyvern and a cockatrice. I've never seen them in Crimonia." (Fina)
"Hehe, even in the royal capital, wyverns and cockatrices can't be seen that way." (Ellelaura)
Ellelaura laughed at Fina's impressions.
"Then, following the instructions of the last winner, Barog-san (バログ), the five people who remained until the fourth round will dismantle the special monster." (Moderator)
What the moderator said was the giant Scorpion that I had defeated. The venue was buzzing due to Scorpion's size.
"Oh, by any chance, did Yuna-chan defeated it?" (Ellelaura)
Ellelaura-san, who knew about the giant Scorpion, asked. It was known to Ellelaura-san when reported in the desert.
Part of its shell had been torn off, so it was definitely the giant Scorpion I killed.
"Really!?" (Shia)
Shia was surprised.
Today was the day when many things would be revealed.
"Sanya-san asked me to give it to her." (Yuna)
Besides, there was no point in holding onto it forever, so it was better to have it dismantled and use its material.
"I was surprised when I heard about the Black Viper, but how can you defeat such a big monster?" (Tirumina)
Tirumina said while looking at the huge Scorpion.
It was just underground, and there was space, so I poured seawater into it and attacked it with water to defeat it.
If it was Tirumina-san who knew about the bear teleportation gate, I could talk to her about it, but Ellelaura-san was here, so I would keep quiet. If Ellelaura-san found out about the bear's transfer gate, she would likely force to travel between Crimonia and the royal capital.
Then, the giant Scorpion was dismantled by the five people, and all the events ended.
Finally, Sanya-san gave words of gratitude to everyone who participated in the event and to the adventurers who subjugated the dangerous monsters.
"I have no words to express my gratitude to everyone who participated and to all the adventurers who provided the monsters they subjugated." (Sanya)
I felt like most of the monsters that were subdued were monsters that I provided. That being said, I would be bothered if she said that to me in such a public place, so that was fine.
"I think there are some people in this venue who have never been outside the city, or who have never seen a monster." (Sanya)
There were also ordinary people in the venue.
"Don't forget that our daily peace is protected by adventurers, knights, and soldiers in places we don't know about. I want you to know where there is danger." (Sanya)
The safety of the road was ensured by the regular passage of adventurers. Of course, it was not 100%, but it was safer than being left alone.
"I'm sure they're patrolling too." (Sanya)
Although I had never taken on any of the jobs, there were also jobs where you patrolled the area around town. Because it was not a subjugation request, the money you could receive was small, and it was a request for new adventurers.
It seemed to be for new adventurers to become familiar with the geography of the area around the city, as well as to learn techniques for spotting monsters from a distance and what to do when they found one.
"Sanya has said that, but I won’t send knights or soldiers unless it’s an emergency." (Ellelaura)
"Why?" (Fina)
Fina asked.
"It would take away jobs from adventurers, and if the royal capital was in danger by sending knights and soldiers to various places, they wouldn't be able to protect it. Therefore, decisions about that are up to the country. It is left to the judgment of the lord of the land." (Ellelaura)
"Indeed" (Yuna)
There was no point in being a knight or a soldier if you couldn't protect your country or city when it was in danger.
"Also, there are probably omnibuses going between towns on a regular basis. Part of the money for the escort of those omnibuses is paid by the country and the city." (Ellelaura)
Ah, Morin-san, I remembered when Karin-san came to Crimonia from the royal capital, she was given a ride in a carriage with an escort.
"If adventurers act together, the public will be safe, and the adventurers will also earn money. If they defeat monsters when they encounter them on the highway, they can help the next person passing by. This will ensure the safety of people and goods, thereby protecting the movement of people and goods." (Ellelaura)
"That's amazing." ()
While we were all surprised to hear Ellelaura-san's story, Sanya-san finished speaking, and the venue erupted in applause, and the event ended successfully.
As I was thinking about what to do next, Sanya-san came over with a tired look on her face.
"I’m tired~" (Sanya)
Her face was so scruffy that it was hard to believe that she was the same person who had been talking with a dignified face just a moment ago.
But she was the top event organizer. Maybe there were many things that could be tiring.
Therefore, I would give her words of kindness.
"Thank you for your hard work." (Yuna)
When I said this, everyone also expressed their condolences to Sanya-san.
"Hehe, thank you. But it's finally over. This is all thanks to Yuna-chan." (Sanya)
"Can I have one?" (Yuna)
"What is it?" (Sanya)
"Why were all the monsters I defeated? I was looking forward to seeing some rare monsters." (Yuna)
"Oh, that's right. That's because I don't have the money to pay Yuna-chan." (Sanya)
"……?" (Yuna)
"After that, I calculated the monster materials that Yuna-chan entrusted to me. Then, oh, it was strange. It turned out to be an outrageous amount. When I told Deputy Guildmaster about it, he got angry. I quickly dismantled it. So, we had to change the monsters we had planned to dismantle, which turned out to be a lot of trouble." (Sanya)
"Is the adventurer's guild in the capital really that poor? In the first place, aren't the commercial guilds buying the monster materials?" (Yuna)
Commercial guild had an image of being rich.
"I'm not poor. The monster Yuna-chan defeated was too amazing. I could build a small mansion with that giant Scorpion. Besides, I've decided on a budget for the event. There may be some errors. It's allowed, though." (Sanya)
"Does that mean you don't have that much money?" (Yuna)
"Yuna-chan. If the money goes out all at once, you won't be able to use it for anything else." (Sanya)
It was true that if you had 100 million yen and gave it all away, you wouldn't be able to use those 100 million yen anywhere else. Those who were trying to use part of that 100 million yen would be in trouble.
"Also, if we put it up for auction, we don’t know how high it will go. Therefore, we are planning to discuss this with the commercial guild. Also, rather than selling it all at once, it is better to sell it in small quantities so that the price will not drop, so make sure to secure the materials. That's why I wanted to dismantle the monster Yuna-chan entrusted to me as soon as possible." (Sanya)
"I'm not in a hurry, so it's okay." (Yuna)
"No. You should be polite to your close friends. If it becomes known that we haven't paid Yuna-chan, it will become a trust issue for the Adventurer's Guild." (Sanya)
"I'm not going to go around saying that I haven't received any money." (Yuna)
"Even if Yuna-chan doesn't tell me, there are quite a few people who know, including the Adventurer's Guild staff and the Commercial Guild staff. We don't know where the information will leak. In the first place, information leaks will be punished, so don't talk. I don't think so. But in the past, there were people who drank alcohol and talked about secrets while intoxicated." (Sanya)
I was not old enough to drink alcohol, so I had never tried it, but it seemed that when you drank alcohol, you lost your memory or your mouth became lighter. It was like breaking your thought process.
If you just listened to the story, it sounded like alcohol was a dangerous drink.
Even if you were old enough to drink alcohol, stop drinking.
If I made the mistake of talking about my original world, I would be in trouble.
In the first place, in this world, was there a set age for drinking alcohol?
"Hehe, even if you drink alcohol, I'll tell you not to get drunk." (Ellelaura)
Ellelaura-san, who was listening to the story, laughed.
Ellelaura-san seemed to have a strong tolerance for alcohol.
It was good medicine if you took a little, but if you took too much, you would get sick. As with anything, moderation was the best.
"Well, that's why I'm going to consult with the commercial guild and prepare the money, so please wait a little while." (Sanya)
"Understood" (Yuna)
After finishing talking with me, Sanya-san talked to Fina.
"Also, I think I've already told Fina-chan. Can you please come to the adventurer's guild after tomorrow? I'll give you the request fee and the money for the monster you dismantled." (Sanya)
Fina tries to refuse, but Tirumina-san said instead, "I'll visit you tomorrow."
Her participation was a requested job, but everyone had the right to receive the money for participating and dismantling the monsters. Maybe it was wrong to refuse, and maybe it was disrespectful to Sanya-san.
That was why I thought Tirumina-san would speak on Fina's behalf.
