"That's right! This time, unless I see the actual bounty poster, I won't accept any task. Last time, I helped a noble kill a magic beast that broke into his manor, and all I got as a reward was a dinner! A damn dinner without even any wine!"

The bard was struck speechless by the crowd, blushing and wanting to say something, but his voice was no match for theirs, leaving him helplessly anxious.
"Alright! Alright! Everyone shut the hell up! Let's listen to what he has to say! Haven't you noticed? This announcement is much longer than before, oh my god! Those numbers at the end must be the details of the bounty!"
A brawny man interrupted their argument.
The brawny man looked somewhat intimidating, and the tavern quieted down temporarily.
"Ahem... there's reward... there is a reward..."
Bard Harvey coughed painfully a couple of times, clearly finding his voice irritated from the earlier loud conversation.
