Magan to Dangan o Tsukatte Isekai o Buchinuku!

“Oh, welcome.
Can you wait a moment while I work on something?”

 

The young man's father did not seem to care much about his appearance, tying up his long hair and keeping his scraggly beard in place, but his tone was relaxed and calm.
In addition, he did not look at Ataru and the others, but concentrated on the work at hand.

 

Ataru and Caro, who had no intention of interfering with the work, nodded without saying anything and watched the scene.
Ataru didn't know what they were working on, so he looked at Caro, who was standing next to him, but she didn't seem to understand either and shook her head sideways.

 

After waiting for a while, the work seemed to be finished, and the young man's father stopped his work and looked up.

 

“Well, well, well.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You must be the people who accepted my request.
I am the real client, my name is Ghazals*.
This is my son, Teal*.”[1]

 

Ghazals bowed his head as he said this with a soft smile on his face.
Teal bowed his head as well to match his father.

 

“No, we weren't requested, we were just guided here…….”

 

When he heard Ataru's confused words, Ghazals looked at Teal with a grim face, wondering what he meant.
For a moment, Teal was frightened by his gaze, but then he regained his composure and smiled.

 

“Old man, what did I tell you when I approached you earlier? An adventurer came to talk to you.
He said he didn't know what kind of use we would make of the golem's core, so I thought it would be quicker for him to talk to you first and see the real thing, so I brought him along.”

 

Ghazals sighed in exasperation at Teal's carefree smile, and then turned to Ataru and Caro.

 

“Oh, you are such a pain in the ass.
All right, ……, let's start by talking about our business, shall we? I'm sure it's hard to tell by looking at it, but we make magic tools[2].”

 

As he said this, Ghazals gently picked up the object he had been working on earlier.
It was not yet finished, and it was hard to tell at first glance what it would be used for, but Ataru could see that it had magic power in it.

 

“Is it possible to make magic tools normally !? I thought that it was something like using techniques excavated in ruins.”

 

“I'm not sure what to do with it.
It's just that with that much detail work, it would be difficult to find an engineer who could make them.”

 

He nodded his head in agreement when Caro pointed out something familiar to Ataru as an analogy.

 

“Well, we don't, but the Adventurer's Guild's request management and rank management magic tools are made by engineers.”

 

Feeling as if he was being praised for his skills, Ghazals smiled happily and added to Caro's story.

 

“It's amazing.
……
So, you're saying you'll need a golem core to make a magic tool?”

 

Ghazals nodded at Ataru's guess, who murmured admiringly.

 

“That's right.
The higher the rank of the golem core, the higher the rank of the tool.
That's why I asked for the core of a high-ranked golem this time, because the higher the rank of the monster's core, the higher the rank of the magic tool can be made.
However, it seems that there are not enough adventurers who can obtain a golem core because of the high strength of its body.
We're trying to increase the rewards as well, but ……”

 

Sighing in annoyance, Ghazals looked down and nodded at the current situation.

 

“I came here without looking at those terms in detail, but can't the reward be a magic tool instead of gold?”

 

At Ataru's suggestion that the golem's core could be used to obtain a magical tool worth more than gold, Ghazals' eyes widened, and he looked up.

 

“Does that mean you'll accept it?”

 

“Depends on the reward, though.
We're not hurting for money, so we need some useful magic tools.”

 

For Ataru, there was no particular difficulty in saying that the golem was a high-ranked monster of any kind.
When Ghazals heard his offer of conditions, he seemed to be pondering something about using a magical tool as a reward.

 

“Old man, I don't know of any other adventurers who'd take it, so why not?”

 

Seeing his father in distress, Teal also gives Ataru a hand.
Unbeknownst to Ataru and Caro, Teal had approached a number of adventurers in the past.
However, he had been turned down as soon as he mentioned the golem.
He was grateful if he could get that request out of the way with the reward of his father's magical equipment.

 

“'……Ataru-sama, Ataru-sama, the golem's body is so hard that it can break our weapons.”

 

Caro, who was observing the conversation between father and son, made a prediction as to why the golem's request would be rejected and secretly gave Ataru a brief explanation.

 

“I see, so that would be a loss if a good weapon is damaged…….”[3]

 

Not all of Ataru and Caro's conversation had reached the ears of Ghazals.
They seemed to finally understand why the adventurers weren't biting at the higher rewards, and they opened their mouths as if they had made up their minds.

 

“Okay, okay.
I'll get you some magic tools as a reward.
I think we'd better resubmit the request, Teal, please.”

 

“Roger that.”

 

Teal energetically ran out of the store after Gatharz's words.
Ataru and Caro looked blankly at him as he left like a storm.

 

“'Uh, shouldn't we go for this too? If the rewards change, the other guys might take it too, right?”

 

“That's right, let's go!”

Ataru and Caro, who hadn't been formally asked to do so, said so but didn't seem to be in a hurry and followed Teal a little more leisurely.

 

“I'm sorry.
I didn't think that far ahead.
Please take care of it.”

 

Ghazals stood up and hurriedly sent them off to the adventurer's guild.

 

 

By the time they reached the guild, Teal had finished changing the request and was smiling at Ataru and Caro with an expression of accomplishment.

 

And the staff was just about to post the changed request on the bulletin board.

 

“Okay, well, we'll take the request then…….”

 

Without hesitation, Ataru peeled the request form off the board and suddenly a man grabbed Ataru's shoulder from beside him.
Caro's ears perked up in surprise at the sudden turn of events.

 

“Hey, that's the request we were going to take! Give us that paper!”

 

The fact that the reward was a magic tool seemed to be very appealing, and several parties besides the man who had grabbed him had their eyes on it.
Apparently, they had heard the conversation when Teal had updated them on the request.

 

“That being said, ……
isn't this one of those things where the sooner you get it, the better?”

 

Unwilling to give in, Ataru questioned the female employee at the reception desk.
She lowered her eyebrows in a troubled manner and smiled.

 

“That's true, but with so many parties competing, we'd really appreciate it if you could make some compromises.”

 

When Ataru heard the words “could make some compromises” he pondered for a moment.

 

“Hmmm ……
I have a question for you guys, are you confident you can defeat the golem?”

 

The man was at a loss for words when Ataru asked him a question with a look that seemed to assess his ability.
The rest of the party didn't get actively involved, but each of them seemed to be unsure and kept quiet.

 

“Ugh, shut up! That's none of your business!”

 

The man in front of Ataru shouted loudly to disguise his desperation.

 

“Well, that's one thing.
How many golems are there, by the way, ……?”

 

He asked a question to Teal, who now seemed to have lost interest in the man.
Teal was surprised and nodded, probably not expecting to be spoken to.

 

“I've heard that there are many of them.
So even if you defeat one, you may be attacked by other golems.”

 

When Ataru heard the answer, he grinned in satisfaction.

 

“Then how about each party takes this request?　The party with the most cores will be rewarded with a magic tool, and the other parties will be rewarded financially by buying the cores.
It's just a suggestion, though, so long as you guys agree, and the client agrees.”

 

If there are a number of them, there should be no disadvantage to the client no matter how many monster cores are needed to make the magic tools, and since they originally intended to pay the reward in money, they would not be reluctant to pay for the purchase.

 

He glanced at the woman at the reception desk, but she didn't raise any objection, which told him that this was an acceptable compromise.

 

“Oh, I'm going to need to consult with my old man about this first!”

 

Seizing the opportunity now that the adventurers are motivated, Teal rushes back to the store to see if his father will agree to the terms.
But he soon comes to a halt.

 

“I'm here.
I'm here.
I'm fine with the terms you've offered.
The more the merrier.”

 

The person who had just entered the guild's entrance was the client, Ghazals.
With his approval, it was now up to the adventurers to make a decision.

 

“Okay, okay, ……, let's do that.”

 

“That's fine with us.”

 

“Same here.”

 

There were no major disadvantages for the adventurers, so they all nodded their heads, indicating that they had decided to accept it.
