Chapter 141 Don't you have any friends?
Broly returned carrying a large number of monsters, a scene that the residents of Axel had become somewhat accustomed to.
"Last time it was a giant frog, this time it's a running lizard. Looks like the price of lizard meat in the city is going to drop!"
When Broly and Aqua go out to do monster slaying quests, if the monsters they are slaying are edible, they will definitely bring back a lot of such corpses.
This influx of large numbers of monster corpses into towns disrupts the original market prices each time, affecting supply and demand.
Many butchers have mixed feelings about this situation. They love that the purchase price is lower, and the meat sells better than before because it's cheaper.
What's frustrating is that if, by chance, Broly and Aqua acquire some of the hunted monster meat on the same day, they might have to sell their accumulated meat at a loss.
People live off the land and water; the wilderness of this world is teeming with mutated beasts, so naturally, they eat mutated beasts.
If you're a professional, eating this stuff will increase your experience; even if you're not a professional, it will improve your health.
Therefore, there has always been a market for monster meat, but the price varies from place to place depending on market conditions. If you hunt too much and sell it all at the same time in one place, you may end up not getting a good price.
Of course, hunting to the point of affecting local market prices usually requires a large number of professional adventurers to hunt a large number of monsters at the same time, but Broly did it all by himself.
Therefore, in Axel today, residents of other towns may not pay much attention to the situation of Aqua's squad, but merchants who frequently trade in monster meat are always keeping an eye on Miss Otter and her apprentice's actions.
Keep an eye on whether this team has taken on any more commissions to hunt edible monsters within the Adventurers' Guild, and be prepared to clear out any unsold meat chunks of the targets in advance.
However, this was something that had already been done by noon. Now, Broly and Aqua were greeted by staff sent by the Adventurers' Guild to help them sell the monster meat.
These people can be considered logistics personnel; they are responsible for liaising with butchers, restaurant purchasing agents, and merchants who deal in Warcraft meat within the town.
Broly and Aqua only need to pay a small handling fee to entrust the handling of large-scale hunting and tax payment to these professionals, which is ultimately a win-win situation.
After all, if they were to handle it personally, Aqua, a rather unreliable water goddess, and Gabriel, a wild boy from Planet Vampa, would likely suffer a huge loss in terms of business acumen when negotiating prices.
"It's been another fruitful day, Miss Aqua, Miss Darkness, and Broly, welcome back!"
Luna is the mascot of the Adventurers' Guild because every time an adventurer returns from a mission, she gives them a warm welcome.
"Please come over to the counter to complete your task."
"Hey, you masochistic girl who can't even swords, we're going to finish our quest. Go grab a spot, we're going to have a big feast later!"
"Ugh, this is such a blatant insult. Oh, wait, who are you calling a masochist? Besides, I'm just a little bad at swordsmanship, not that I can't use a sword at all!"
Darkness immediately retorted after realizing what was happening, but her terrible swordsmanship was destined to become Aqua's weakness.
However, despite being verbally insulted by Aqua, Darkness outwardly refuted her words, but her happiness level rose slightly, betraying her true feelings.
After refuting Aqua's statement, Darkness obediently went to the side to reserve a seat, since no one wanted to be near the toilet.
She had only been sitting down for a short while when a white-haired girl approached her.
"Feed~"
Eris patted Darkness on the shoulder.
"Hey, it's you, thief!"
Darkness turned her head and saw the thief girl who had come to her side, and immediately said.
"What thief? You had some nerve this morning, daring to take me to the police station. Do you know what I went through there? A lecture, a full two hours of lectures! Nobody's ever dared to talk to me like that before!"
Eris did not suffer such a thing when she descended to Earth before.
"Isn't this all because you stole my wallet and then dared to publicly mock me?"
Darkness started complaining.
"I wasn't mocking you, I was just trying to make a bet with you."
Eris blushed and retorted.
"What are we betting on?"
Darkness was rather curious.
"I'll bet you can catch me. If you can, I'll give your wallet back."
"But what if I can't catch you?"
"The wallet is mine, but I'll give you a chance."
"Um?"
"I, Chris, never steal from my friends, so once you become my friend, I'll return your wallet."
Eris revealed the scenario she had originally planned for herself to meet her followers.
"But I've caught you."
Darkness said she wasn't too concerned about the development of that IF line.
"That's because you lack martial ethics. You grabbed me before I could even finish explaining the bet."
Eris was most indignant about this; how could someone just take action without listening to the rules?
Darkness: "..."
A thief who stole her wallet actually turned around and accused her of lacking martial ethics.
Good relationships, backstabbing, and theft are skills that should actually be learned by the Crusader.
"Don't you have any friends?"
Darkness suddenly asked something after she had just thought of it.
"Huh?!"
Eris, who was complaining about Darkness's lack of martial virtue in attacking her, suddenly fell silent.
Then she saw her own followers looking at her with a pitying gaze.
"What kind of look is that?"
She, the goddess of fortune, Eris, could she be someone without friends...? Ugh, thinking back, when I was in the heavens, I was often captured by a certain senior goddess and forced to be a laborer.
It was ostensibly to train her, the junior, but in reality, it was just the other party dumping their own work on her.
This resulted in him being so busy with his work as a formal goddess that he had no time to make friends at the Celestial Academy.
When she finally had some free time, she was assigned to manage this world, becoming the administrator of this remote place, and there were no longer any people around her to make friends with.
Every day, I have to face souls who want to escape from this world ravaged by the Demon King and go to other worlds.
Thinking of this, Eris crouched down in a corner, the oppressive atmosphere around her almost tangible, and muttered to herself, "So, I'm friendless too..."
