The Strongest Hunter Who Was Not Allowed To Hunt Monsters Joined a Cooking Guild - Chapter 8

“Hey, what do you mean, Zelet!”

Pamela screams and approaches me.

“Why do you refuse! Zelet-san, you registered with the guild to become a food provider, right?”

As it is important, Olivia asks a little forcefully.

“I never imagined you’d be timid.”

With his hand on his chin, the guild master looks at me in a meaningful way.

Hearing those words, I countered them.

“That’s not the case. My purpose is to defeat S-rank monsters. I heard that you can hunt in a cooking guild. But you asked me to deal with an A-rank monster, I have no interest in dealing with small fries, so no.”

“Well, A-rank is just a small fish …”

“Ah, you’re reliable, but I’m weak and the client wants it as soon as possible… can you do it Zelet-kun?.”

Guild Master sighs.

Expectations were high for the newcomer’s spectacular debut.

The air inside the cooking guild building covered with Gubagara trees cooled down all at once.

“If it’s about A rank, there will be others if you look for them, even if it’s not me. I’m only interested in S rank. I’m not interested in anything other than those guys. In the first place, the request fee is small for A rank monsters. It can’t even cover my equipment fee, it’s a big loss for me. “

I stare at the request form.

“Is it 600,000 gras? Not bad for A rank monster.”

It’s a lot more reasonable than the Hunter Guild, but it’s still too cheap for me to move. The equipment fee, including consumables, will be about 10,000 gras.

For the common people, 600,000 gras may be a lot of money, but for me as an S-class hunter, it’s not a lot of money. With this money, you have to live until you see a monster that you don’t know when it will appear next time.

Weapon maintenance in the meantime can be really costly.

However, when it comes to S-rank monsters, the price nearly doubles.

The cost of consumables will increase accordingly, but the margin will increase, and you will be able to experience the thrill that you cannot experience with small fish.

As a hunter, that is definitely more advantageous.

If I can’t defeat the S-rank monsters, there’s no use being here.

Let’s go home and shampoo Rir.

“Wait, Zelet-san”

Olivia calls out to me as I try to return.

Then, the guild master showed me the request form again.

“Look at the request fee properly, Zelet-kun.”

He laughs.

Huh? No matter how many times I check it, the request fee will not increase. What more should I check?

“Wow! Master, this request fee is amazing. There are six zeros.”

My disciple who looked at the request fee instead of me makes a noise.

“What are you talking about, Prim. In the first place, more than the number of fingers —?”

Hmm?

I push Prim away and stare at the request again.

One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand ………….

That can’t be. There are six zeros.no doubt. You’re kidding me! !! 6 million gras? ?? ?? ??

“Is this a joke! Isn’t it crazy to have 6 million gras for a three-necked wyvern? Even the S-rank evil flame dragon I subdued the other day didn’t have 2 million gras. What do you think? No matter how much you want a food provider, this is too much. ”

“Ara. This is a reasonable price agreed by the middleman. By the way, if you become S rank in the cooking guild, maybe another zero will be added ~~”

What is it …

“No way 10 million …”

“As far as I know, there was a wholesale price of 30 million gras in the past. But monster ingredients may go up more in the future. Oh yeah. Zelet-kun, I’ll show you my safe. Don’t you want to know what did the robbers aim for? “

Eh, Isn’t it money?

The guild master guides me in front of the vault, crushing the roots of Gubagara that have taken root in the guild.

He stood in front of the vault and used a magic stone with a special code engraved on it..

Gogogogo ……, The safe slowly opened with a squeak..

Then, cold air came out of the vault and when the gas slowly cleared the contents became visible.

“This … are those ingredients …”

Meat, fish fillets, fruits, vegetables, edible wild plants, and even seasonings are preserved.

Everything that was edible was preserved inside.

“That’s right! This is a freezer that keeps high-class foods from the food provider. And about 80% of these foods are monster foods.”

“80% … what a luxury?”

“Yeah. I wonder if things stored here range from 1 million to 15 million gras? That’s why thieves and organized crimes have been committed in recent years.”

15 million gras …

So that’s it. The robbers have been aiming for these ingredients.

It’s not that they don’t know what’s inside until they dig a hole inside the basement.

“That’s right. Now, cooking using monsters is booming in the food sector.”

Olivia broke in between me and the Guild Master and started explaining.

“In response to that, the price of monsters is rising steadily now. Since the price is constantly changing, the reasonable price of the three-necked wyvern may be higher now.”

you’re kidding. A-ranked monster will be even higher than 6 million gras! ??

And this is a request fee to me. If you add the guild margin here, it will be 7 million gras.

The client has determined that the three-necked Wyvern is worth 7 million gras.

In the Hunter Guild, these monsters were worth at most 600,000 gras …

“What? This may be a small fish for you, but if you think it’s a job of 6 million gras, it’s a little worthwhile, Zelet-kun.”

… and the guild master sent a wink.

It’s unpleasant. However, looking at the amount offered just now, it is certain that it is uplifting.

With the S-rank monsters I could have the thrill of nearly dying.

I don’t get that thrill with the A-rank monsters, but if you think it’s a job of 6 million gras, it’s all worthwhile.

“All right……”

I will accept the request of 6 million gras.
