My Glasses Will Be Able to Conquer the Whole World, I Suppose

rted Hunter’s Guild.

Nevertheless, that atmosphere—

「Welcome」

While my feet were stopped due to the wonder that person left me with, the receptionist’s sloven voice greeted me yet again.

That person from before, he made me a little bit curious.

Curious, but… let’s just wipe it off my mind.

Things like how I couldn’t detect his presence until the right before we bumped for one, or like how his presence vanishes as soon as he turns into that alley for another.
Or how his steps are dead silent.
I indeed am curious but I won’t let it get into my mind.

If you rethink it carefully, it’s not that weird if that elderly gentleman is a hunter too.
It’s nothing special that a hunter is going to and fro the Hunter’s Guild.
I, a hunter, do that.

　…………

Come to think of it, was it the first time I see another hunter besides Shishou? Maybe it’s a natural thing for a hunter to be curious about another hunter.

Well, it’s no longer in my mind though.

After I step into the Guild that has nobody inside just as usual, I said to the receptionist who’s resting on her chin.

「I want to acquire information regarding Magical Beasts.
Deer or rabbit ones.」

Not normal animals, but magical beasts.

I thought it’d be doubtful whether she could catch what I said or not, but the receptionist actually responded immediately while not looking sharp at all.

「Either a Hexagon Deer or Splinter Fang Hare would be fine? Wait for a second」

Ah, she caught that.

The receptionist that said the very thing I aimed spread out a map.

「We received information about a Splinter Fang Hare.
However, it’s located quite deep inside the forest.」

Yatta.
There’s a rabbit to hunt.

It’s the map of that forest I’ve delved to its surface for many times over.
I haven’t gone to its deep regions, but the current me can read it one way or another.
The river I made into my personal hunting spot is over there.
Once I know the starting point, I know where to go.

And then, the bonfire remains.
When I went with Laila, she proceeded while following those remains.
There are those bonfire remains marks on the map, so true to what I assumed, they are the landmarks in the forest.

「Apparently, they’re around this area.」

It’s a deep place I haven’t gone to.
Even deeper than when I faced that Redbear.

「Can I write it down?」

「Help yourself」

I added the bonfire landmarks, cliffs, boulders, etc that are conspicuous enough to be included in a map, and infrastructures like bridges to the map I transcribed myself.

「Will you be okay? Splinter Fang Hares is a game that required several One Star Adventurers.」

「Perhaps.」

Just like Redbears, Splinter Fang Hares is a prey I usually hunt in the forest near the village.
As long as I keep my vigilance up, I’ll do just fine.

Well, the biggest problem is that they’re more likely to be deep inside the woods, so finding them will be a chore.
Also, they’ll escape as soon as they realized their enemy is stronger than them.
While there’s their individual strength to take into account, but above all the fact that they’re 「Hard to find」 and 「Fast to Escape」 makes Splinter Fang Hares’ hunt ratio becomes all over the place.

The reason why you need several adventurers to hunt them too because you need to cut off their escape route, attack them all at once before they can get away, chase them inside the forest, and even looking for them would take more effort since naturally encountering them is nigh impossible.

「Are you aiming for it? Will you sell it to the Guild?」

「Sorry.
This one’s a gift.」

「Oh.
That’s unfortunate.」

The receptionist then laughs feebly as if denoting that there’s nothing really unfortunate about it.

　「Just like the Redbear, we’ll buy the information even if you hunted it~」 With that voice to send me off, I stepped out of the Hunter’s Guild.

The time limit is the day after tomorrow at noon.
The time I’ll use to move, my scope of action, and going to the region I never went before.
With all of that to take into account, making a move today is better.

It’s still just a little bit over noon.
There’s still time.
Let’s finish the prep today, spend the night inside the forest, then hunt the rabbit tomorrow morning.
As long as there isn’t any trouble along the way, I should be able to return after half a day… tomorrow evening.
