Chapter 37: Redeem

"Today!"

In the dining area within the guild, Sato Hikaru slapped the menu on the table boldly, and said to Megumin and Yunyun: "Order whatever you want to eat!"

"Oh ho!?"

Since the travel expenses had almost run out, Megumin, who had ordered cheap and economical food for these two days, had her eyes lit up and directly pressed onto the menu and said: "Are you sure we can order anything?"

"Don't worry, there is a small profit today."

Using his hand to show a little bit of money sign, Sato Hikaru slapped Aqua's shoulder: "Aqua, you as well, eat whatever you want, if there is something you want to drink, even alcohol is fine."

"Ahem!"

Just when Sato Hikaru was about to make a bold statement, Megumin, who was about to take the menu, coughed lightly.

"Speaking of alcohol, although the guild has a lot of expensive alcohol that is not shown on the menu, as an adventurer, we should act more like an adventurer, so drinking beer or something is more suitable."

Finished speaking, Megumin glanced at Sato Hikaru who was full of sweat.

Signaling, …wrong, this was already over the top.

"Ahaha…yes yes yes, tonight beer is enough!"

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Sato Hikaru smiled and changed the topic: "Anyway, why don't you order something first, I will go and submit the task and come back."

After speaking, Sato Hikaru gave a look at Megumin which said 'please take a look', and moved towards the counter as if he was running away.

"How dangerous, I almost forgot how deep an alcoholic drink is."

While secretly glancing at Megumin who had saved himself at a critical moment, Sato Hikaru also reflected on his situation.

He himself had only arrived in this world and obtained a small bit of money, and he had almost lost himself, this truly should not happen.

"Next time, I must be calmer, especially when speaking about treating Aqua to alcohol, I must consider things three times before doing it. Otherwise, if I go bankrupt after just one drink and even owe millions of eris. That would be ridiculous."

While thinking, Sato Hikaru had reached Luna's table, and gave her the task [subjugate a griffon] as well as his and Aqua's adventurer card.

"Miss Luna, please verify the task completion."

"Alright, please wait a moment…"

She took the task list and the two adventurer cards, checked, and confirmed there was no mistake. She looked at Sato Hikaru and smiled: "Confirmed that the task [subjugate griffon] taken today has been completed."

"The task bounty is 500,000 eris, it will be released by the guild, operational fee is 0, net release 500,000 eris, please confirm."

While speaking, Luna took out a bag of money from below the reception desk and pushed it towards Sato Hikaru.

"No need for confirmation, I trust Miss Luna."

The spoken words were good to hear, but in reality, the moment Sato Hikaru saw the bag of money, he had immediately activated [eye of insight], and after he had confirmed that the amount was correct, then he received them.

"These are the adventurer cards for your team, please keep them properly."

Probably because she had heard this kind of 'trust' flattery so many times, Luna only showed a slight smile at Sato Hikaru.

"Mr. Sato and Miss Aqua are truly strong, obviously both of you had just registered yesterday, today you could already hunt a dangerous monster like a griffon."

"Luck, just luck."

Looking left and right, after confirming that most people in the restaurant were eating, and almost no one was around the reception desk, Sato Hikaru placed his hand on the desk, approached Luna and asked in a small voice.

"Today, we have also met a high-level demon called Host, does the guild have related bounties?"

"High-level demon? Outside Axel??"

After hearing the question, Luna did not immediately answer Sato Hikaru, even the friendly smile on her face could not be maintained.

She asked solemnly with a straight face: "Where did you meet it? Do you know why it came to Axel? Or do you have any other information?"

"Please don't be in such a hurry, miss Luna."

Taking out Aqua's job card, Sato Hikaru pointed at the kill record and said: "That demon had been subjugated by us, so there is no need to worry."

"What!!!? Even a high-level demon was subjugated!??"

This time round, Luna was truly surprised.

If it was merely subjugating a griffon, although strong, but in Axel, there was still some small team that could do it.

Furthermore, there was also a person who used a magic sword in Axel, called Mitsurugi Kyouya. (Who was also sent here by Aqua.)

This magic swordsman had also subjugated a drake right after registering as an adventurer.

That was why although Sato Hikaru and his team was able to subjugate a griffon, Luna only felt that they were strong.

But if it included solving a high-level demon…

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sato, if it is a high-level demon…may I ask if there is any proof?"

"Still need proof?"

Towards Luna's obvious disbelief, Sato Hikaru frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Luna quickly recalled softly: "Yes, things like corpses or battle trophies and the likes."

"The body had been completely purified with holy magic, as for the battle trophy…"

Thinking for a while, Sato Hikaru took out a horn from the system space, which was something that he had prepared to send to Komekko to allow her to summon Host.

"Can this be used as proof?"
