Unwanted in Isekai Chapter 120 Time to Hunt 4


「 I got a little worked up 」

Euphy sticks out her tongue laughingly after she finishes it with her sword.

Ten percent would be remorse, ten percent is happiness that she could cut it, and the remaining eighty percent would be joy that Nia’s no longer in Danger.

She’s giving off a playful air but also has a relieved look on her face.

「 I overdid it too, but don’t worry about it The tiger started using magic and that would be a little tough for Nia to deal with it alone. 」

I replied looking at Nia, who was thrusting a steel dagger between the blazing tiger’s eyebrows, that stopped her and she looked back waving at us smiling.

Let’s go praise Nia.

I walked down the hill, near the blazing tiger lying next to Nia, then the boys were looking alternately at the corpse and us with their butts on the ground.

「 Ahahaha, they took down a blazing tiger so easily 」

「 Did you see her slash? She took down the legs in one hit 」

「 She’s a monster 」

「 Bird, where did you go? It’s safe now, you can come back 」

They’re good and honest people and I never get tired of watching their reactions.

It’s helpful to understand the common reaction on us now.

The boy with taming skill looked up at the sky and lamented, does it mean that if he released it to the wild, his taming skills run out?

「 You did it, Nia. You can eat as much Shaussen as you want for this big prey 」

「 You two did most of the damage, is it okay for me to take the entire reward? 」

「 It’s Nia who finished it, so it’s your accomplishment. Right, Euphy? 」

「 Yes, that’s right. Nia, accept Daiki-sama’s kindness 」

「 Hmmmm. I don’t think I can I don’t feel like I took it down by myself! 」

「 Then, what to do? You decide what to do then Nia 」

When I asked Nia, she was cutely distressed and refused to accept the results.

She wrinkled her brow for a few moments, and then she opened her eyes and turned her bright yellow pupils on me.

「 I’ve decided. You see, Daiki-nii and Euphy-nee did 80% of the damage, right? Then we can split the rest for the five of us! 」

「 80% for us? That’s too low for NIa. Besides, you’re splitting with those guys? 」

「 Yeah. They’ve come this far, so I feel sorry if they come home without anything. Can’t we? 」

She’s so humble, sincere, and kind-hearted.

This answer comes from Nia’s personality.

「 That’s too much for us. Right, let’s split it to 40. Then, you can do whatever you want with the remaining 60 」

I think 40% is about right.

Maybe Nia will be bothered again if we lower it further.

「 Okay, got it. Thanks, Daiki-nii, then, let’s split it up 」

Nia thanked me, then spun around to turn her body to the boys

They’d been shocked by the tiger’s appearance and our strength, but Nia’s gaze brought them back, and they were puzzled by what she said.

「 But we didn’t do anything… 」

「 Yeah. We can’t take a share from this 」

That’s a natural response, they couldn’t stand up due to fear after all.

However, they showed some fun reactions, so I’m fine with splitting.

They were moving to protect Nia with good intentions, regardless of their skills.

This would greatly reduce Nia’s share.

We could give them some extra since the exchange rate is good.

Nia’s annoyed at the boys who refuse to accept.

Let’s give her a helping hand.

「 Sure, you guys didn’t do anything, but that doesn’t matter. You’re about to do your job. Just accept Nia’s generosity. Also, don’t spread the word about this, okay? 」

Until now, there were entities after Euphy, and since I wasn’t confident in my ability to defend myself, I avoided standing out as much as possible, but now that I have power, I can no longer be shaken by a few things, so there’s no need to hide.

There’s a saying that a wise man keeps some of his talents in reserve, but you shouldn’t hide all of it.

Considering the attitude of the merchant we dealt with last time, we should at least get some credit.

But forcing them to spread the word is another thing, so let’s keep their mouth shut for the moment.

Hmm, balancing this is going to be hard now that I think about it.

The boys weren’t convinced yet, but when they saw a good prey lying nearby, they couldn’t resist the word “share”

If we tell them that they have a job to do, they seem reluctant on the surface, but the corners of their mouths rise up.

Now that we hunted a big one, let’s get ready to leave.

「 Euphy, help me out here 」

「 Yes. You just hold this leg here 」

「 Yes, just like that. Okay, let’s lift it! 」

「 Yes! 」

Euphy and I grabbed the tiger’s legs and put the dead tiger on a log that we roped together.

「 Okay, you four carry these. We’ll guard you so just concentrate on transport. 」

「 H-Heavy, this is too heavy 」

「 I’m a magician so I-I can’t handle this 」

「 Stop complaining! We’re getting our share here so carry it! 」

That’s the job of the boys.

Let’s give them the role of bringing back the carcass.

I’ve been putting so many things on my magic bag recently that I have to cut the tiger’s body in half to fit it in

Even if it were empty, it’s too big to fit it all in.

I severed one leg and the other one is shattered, but the torso is mostly intact, so it would be worth more to keep it in one piece.

Hmm, I’m glad that the boys came with us.

You guys were useful.

The return trip took way longer, but it was easier because there were no monsters at all, probably because they were afraid of us carrying a dangerous carcass.

When we arrived at the town, they stopped us at the gate as we were carrying the carcass of a large monster, and since we hunted a high-level monster they call a blazing tiger, various people flew in to check on it and merchants swarmed around the town.

After handing the blazing tiger to the guild, the boys sat on the chairs and plopped at their desks.

They all look dead, they must be pretty worn out.

I sat next to them to console them, but then, several fully armed men entered the Adventurer’s guild with their armor clanking.

When their eyes met mine, they approached me with a surprised look.

「 Mu?! Isn’t that Kotori-sama? Why are you in this place? 」

They know my name. These are the knights of Adicilton.

「 Hey there. We were working on a guild commission today. Euphy and Nia are taking the reward for that thing over there. Are you done with your requests too? 」

「 Yes, we’ve been in the south, taking down ogres. Thanks to Kotori-sama, we’ve been able to reduce the frequency of work in this kind of setting, and I’m able to fulfill my primary job, but on rare occasions, I’ve been asked to work directly for the guild 」

「 I see. If they’re asking you directly, that means that they rely on you 」

「 The adventurer’s guild doesn’t have many people with high-level skills, so I’m sure they’ll be approached 」

There are probably only a few groups in the field that have multiple people with level-three combat skills in this world, so they’re likely to be requested to do work here and there.

The gaze of the knight then turned to the boys, who were lying on the desk.

「 You boys look tired. What happened? 」

「 Sir… A lot happened… 」

「 Sir, do you know these people? 」

Seems like they know each other.

They seem to have a reasonable relationship based on their behavior.

They even call him “Sir,” because they know his background.

「 Why you ask? He’s our Lord 」

「 Huh? I thought you mentioned that your Lord was a lady? 」

「 Yes, that was before. Kotori-sama is the Princess’s fiancee, and he’s the lord who commands us, and he’s recognized by others and myself as well 」

The knight said it all, but that’s only half as far as I’m concerned.

「 Then that means…S-She’s the princess? 」

「 W-What have we done 」

The boys seemed to have figured things out, and they turned to us.

Their expression was a combination of awkwardness, as if they did something wrong, and fear as if they were afraid of us who easily hunted the blazing tiger.

Let’s give them assurance.

「 I get that you want to talk to her because she’s cute. I don’t really mind it, so you shouldn’t either. Also, Nia’s my precious girl so don’t think of making a move on her, okay? 」

「 Never! 」

「 I’ll keep that in mind 」

「 Nia-chan is soothing! 」

Good response, knowing that there’s no blame on them.

Well, they already gave up halfway because they were not taken seriously, and now they won’t be insisting.

They looked relieved, they regained their strength and started talking about their day.

As I was listening to this with one elbow propped on the desk. Nia came running with a smile on her face, holding a bag of coins.

From the sound of it, that must’ve been quite a lot of money.

It’s my first hunt in a long time, so it was worth the money.

I’m not a veteran, but I’ve seen what adventurers do and how they fight, so I gained some insight.

Most importantly, Nia achieved her goal.

I guess that it’s settled, we’re filling the entire dining table with Shauessen.
