The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 34 Part 1

Keane the Hunter

　Chirp, chirp, chirp.

「Girls, I’ll leave the money over here, okay? It’s still early in the morning, so feel free to take your time.」

「Hanya~n. Not only did you let us eat delicious food, you also made us feel good, give us money, and even allow us to sleep in, it feels like a dream-nya~n.」

「Sei-san. Umm, are you sure you are okay with all this?」

「You must be tired since early in the morning too, right, Yuina? I’m fine with it, so just take some rest. I’ll nominate you again, so please take care of me then, okay?」

「Yes. I will be in your care.」

In order to go to the Adventurers’ Association early in the morning, I quickly change my clothes and get ready to leave the room. I have ejaculated one shot each into Niinya and Yuina’s vagina in the morning, so today, too, I feel refreshed from the morning. When I take a look at the beds, the two are sleeping soundly. I am glad that they seem happy.

Now then, what should I do? If it is the shallow stratum of the labyrinth, I can manage somehow or another even if I go exploring on my own. If I dive into the labyrinth all day long, I could probably make a fair amount of money. But for now, I would like to prioritize gaining experience rather than earning money. In particular, I would like to learn how to carry myself in the forest and how to dismantle large animals, but as expected, I guess the best method would be to follow an adventurer party.

As usual, adventurer recruitments are being carried out in front of the Adventurers’ Association.

「Looking for two vanguards. At least four small silver coins guaranteed!」

「Is there a porter here! If you have four barrels storage capacity or more, we’ll give you six small silver coins!」

「We’re looking for a porter too! Someone who can stay in the labyrinth. Our plan is to stay in the labyrinth for three nights, and the pay will be two large silver coins.」

「Looking for vanguards! We’re accepting any number of people. We’ll split the share evenly!」

After learning about Gorth’s other side as well as Zuma’s atrocities, I feel that all adventurers are fishy. I wonder if I should dish out some money and ask them to introduce me to a decent adventurer party. I have only about six small gold coins left. I wish I could have brought more from the Amberlius family, but I could not. That is because the Amberlius family do most of their shopping on credit, so I didn’t have much cash on hand and could only take a small amount out. If it had not been for the money I had taken from Astor and the knights, I would have probably been in a considerable rush. The lodging fee is eight small silver coins a day. Putting into consideration the fact that I have to pay Niinya and Yuina’s three large silver coins, I would end up running out of money in a little more than ten days. Hmm, what should I do now?

I go inside the association and look over the requests posted on the bulletin board. If I follow the templates, there should be a request to subjugate an A-rank monster, which no one has been able to accomplish for many years, and I use my cheat ability to kill it in an instant and take the monster out of storage at the dismantling place. Then, as a special case, I would be promoted to B-rank adventurer in one go, but there is no such thing at all. There are only requests to collect medicinal herbs and the like, and they are only available from spring to fall. Right now, we just entered winter, so there is nothing. There are also requests to escort merchants and porters, but I don’t really like the idea of having my movements restricted for several days.

Inside the association, rookie adventurers are receiving their temporary adventurer certificates one after another. Today the place is once again crowded with young people chasing their dreams. I wonder how many of them will survive. I have a feeling that if they equip themselves with wooden shields and fight on the first stratum while focusing on defense, they might be able to unexpectedly survive. While I am watching them in such a manner, Irina speaks to me.

「Sei-san. May I have a word with you?」

「Hmm? What is it?」

「Umm, it is about a party I can personally put my trust in, but… When I talked to them about you, they showed interest in you, Sei-san. Why don’t you at least listen to what they have to say? If you are a porter and willing to do the dismantling, I believe you would be welcome.」

She has been pulling strings for my sake, huh. I think Irina can be trusted. If Irina is talking to me with malicious intent, I think I won’t be able to trust anyone from now on.

「Got it. I’ll work even if I receive no payment. In return, I hope they could teach me how to do dismantling and how to carry myself in a party.」

「I understand. The party usually only shows up in the evening, but just in case, I have asked them to take a look for once in the morning, so please wait a minute.」

I wait for the adventurer party in question while watching the adventurers. Without waiting for that long, the party shows up and is talking with Irina about something, taking fleeting glances at me all the while. They are a party of four middle-aged men and one young man.

「Sei-sa~n.」

Irina beckons me. The negotiation must have gone smoothly, since she is sporting a happy look on her face. If she has really done this negotiation for my sake, I guess I will have to give her something as thanks later.

「Keane-san, this is Sei-san, a porter. Sei-san, this is Keane-san, a bronze-class Adventurer.」

「I’m Sei. Pleased to meet you.」

「Mm, I’m Keane. I hear you want us to teach you how to do dismantling. For us, that’s exactly what we’re hoping for. You see, right now, we’re setting the eastern forest as our hunting ground, and since it’s a bit far from the city, we just happened to be considering hiring a porter. Your storage capacity should be one barrel, no? We’ll have you carry a large bag, but are you fine with that? For your payment, we’ll pay you three small silver coins a day.」

「Got it. I’m fine with that payment. But I won’t carry a bag. My storage capacity is four barrels.」

「What?! Four barrels, you say? You just came of age, didn’t you? You sure you’re not lying?」

I am lying. In fact, it is sixteen barrels, after all. However, if it was known that I, who have just come of age, have a storage capacity of sixteen barrels, I would inevitably stand out.

「There’s no point in telling such a lie that would immediately be exposed, no? Do you have any barrels somewhere? I’ll show it to you.」

「Hmm, that doesn’t sound like a bluff. But….」

「I was born and raised in a somewhat wealthy family, you see. From an early age, they hired a magician and I have been practicing magical energy manipulation all the time. Since the job I was granted with was porter, I thought all of it would be for nothing, but it turned out to have a good effect on storage skill. Storage is a skill that uses magical energy, after all.」

「There’s such a thing, huh. Well, fine. If your storage capacity is four barrels, then it’s just perfect. For your payment, we’ll pay you five small silver coins a day. That’s the minimum contract money for a porter with four barrels storage capacity, no? What do you say, do you want to sign the contract in the porter union?」

「Nah, it’s fine. At the moment, I’m here as an adventurer, after all. Are we leaving right away?」

「Yeah, but wait a minute. Hey, Faye, come here for a sec!」
