"Katheryne, is that commission from just now still available?"
Standing before Katheryne's counter, Kaito slowly posed the question.
Sigh…
How could it possibly still be available…
There's no way…
Silently listening to Kaito ask Katheryne if the 400,000 Mora commission was still there, Lumine also let out a quiet sigh in her heart.
If only Kaito had accepted that 400,000 Mora commission the moment he saw it, how great would that have been.
That was 400,000 Mora!
Four hundred thousand!!
At this moment, Lumine felt as if she had personally lost 400,000 Mora. Her heart was bleeding.
"Yes, it is, Mr. Kaito. Are you preparing to accept it?"
Smiling at Kaito, Katheryne nodded.
I just said there was no way it could be…
Huh???
Did Katheryne just say… it's still available???
Wait… did I mishear…
Because she had been distracted just now, Lumine seriously suspected she had heard wrong.
A commission with such a high reward…
How could it possibly still be available…
But… it really seemed like Katheryne said it was still there…
"No, this person here wants to accept it."
Shaking his head, Kaito pointed a finger at Lumine, who was standing beside him, trying hard to recall what Katheryne had just said.
In truth, when he posted the commission earlier, he had set the start time to be the exact moment he would ask if it was still available.
So, the 400,000 Mora commission he had posted was now officially available to be accepted.
Although he felt this operation was more or less the same as specifically designating someone for a commission, since they approved of this method, he had nothing more to say.
"That reward… that 400,000 Mora commission… it's… still available?"
Although she could already confirm from Kaito's words that the commission was still there, Lumine still asked cautiously.
She had originally been preparing to give Kaito a good talking-to, to tell him to immediately accept any high-reward commissions he sees in the future without any hesitation whatsoever.
But she never expected that the commission would actually still be there. It was simply beyond her imagination.
"Yes, Traveler. Would you like to accept it?"
Still wearing a smile, Katheryne asked if Lumine would take it.
"Yes, we'll take it!"
Before Lumine could even open her mouth, Paimon, who was beside her, had already hastily accepted on her behalf, afraid that someone else might snatch it away.
No matter what, this was 400,000 Mora. If she could get her hands on it, she could have a feast every single day.
That kind of life would be absolutely marvelous.
This Paimon…
I haven't even asked what the commission requires…
Though she thought this, Lumine was actually quite happy and didn't say anything to Paimon.
"Alright, please take a look at the specific requirements for this commission."
As she spoke, Katheryne took out a form and handed it to Lumine.
I hope it's not something I can't complete…
Thinking this, a slightly anxious Lumine took the form and began to inspect it carefully.
It's just defeating a Lawachurl???
Looking at the form in her hands, Lumine was shocked. A commission with such a high reward was just to vanquish a Lawachurl.
This is… too simple, isn't it…
Reading the contents of the form over and over again, Lumine truly doubted the authenticity of this commission.
Coupled with the fact that no one had taken it, she felt it was highly likely a scam.
But even if it was a scam, she felt it was still necessary to give it a try.
After all, the requirement was just to go to a location and defeat a Lawachurl. She could still do that.
"It's just to fight one Lawachurl? Could this Lawachurl be especially powerful?"
At this moment, Paimon, beside her, was also puzzled by the commission's requirements.
She couldn't help it; it really was a bit too simple. Lumine could handle it completely.
That's right…
Maybe that Lawachurl is a mutated Lawachurl…
Especially powerful…
That's why the reward is so high…
Hearing what Paimon said, Lumine immediately felt it made a lot of sense.
But even so, she decided to ask Katheryne about the situation.
"Katheryne, would someone deliberately withhold the reward after an adventurer completes a commission?"
"Please rest assured, Traveler. The rewards for all commissions are deposited with the Adventurers' Guild in advance. As soon as the commission is confirmed complete, the corresponding reward will be disbursed immediately."
Katheryne replied to Lumine's question.
So the reward is already deposited with the Adventurers' Guild…
Lumine felt a little more at ease now.
"Kaito, are you free? I feel like that Lawachurl might be especially tough to beat. How about you come help us?"
Just as Lumine was still thinking about the reward, Paimon suddenly invited Kaito to join them.
She figured that since the commission reward was so large, it must be very difficult, so having Kaito join would make things much easier.
This Paimon…
He still needs to spend time with Wendy…
And Wendy definitely wouldn't like Kaito helping another girl, which is me…
Thinking this, Lumine quickly said to Paimon, "Kaito has things to do. We shouldn't trouble him."
"It's no problem, I'm quite free."
Listening to Paimon and Lumine's exchange, Kaito replied.
Actually, his main goal was to ensure Lumine completed the commission quickly, so that his own mission could also be completed.
This Kaito…
You should at least ask for Wendy's opinion…
Not expecting Kaito to reply this way, Lumine couldn't help but glance at Wendy, who was standing nearby.
Although Wendy's expression hadn't changed, this only made Lumine feel even more that it was the calm before the storm—and a storm in the most literal sense.
No… I have to say something…
After some thought, Lumine felt it was necessary for her to say something.
Otherwise, not only would Kaito be in trouble, but she might be as well.
"Be careful then, Kai."
Just as Lumine was about to speak, Wendy suddenly said this, leaving Lumine stunned.
Wendy… isn't angry…
Wait… is she just planning to settle the score later?
Even though Wendy had spoken, Lumine was still worried sick.
"I can complete it myself. Kaito, you…"
"Let me see the location. I'll take you there directly."
Before Lumine could finish her sentence, Wendy suddenly walked over and glanced at the form in her hand.
She's not planning to settle the score out in the wild, is she…
Lumine was even more panicked now.
Not only was Wendy not opposed to Kaito helping another girl instead of accompanying her, but she was even offering to see them off. Something was definitely wrong.
We're doomed, we're doomed…
Once we're outside the city where there's no one else, we're definitely dead…
