Chapter 120
"And therefore, we’ve decided to go to Wakoku in two weeks." - Garami
"No, I don’t get that at all!!" - Revi & Alf
"...Let me do the explaining. *Blah-blah, yadda-yadda*." - Mira
"...So, a trip into the Dungeon got you with the job of securing remedies for a sick noble of Wakoku?" - Alf
"That’s what I said." - Garami
"You didn’t say anything at all!!" - Alf & Revi
*Sniff*. Revi’s in her rebellious phase...
We’re at the inn after having exited the Forge and gotten the dibs from the ninja-group, led by that Kaizo-geezer. We don’t know exactly who’s the patient that needs those Firebells, but we do know that they’re some decent guys. The ninja-group has connections to the royalties of Wakoku, so they’re far from any low-life mercenaries you can find in the slums.
I did have some doubts whenever they were real or not, but when I remembered what Flint told me before, about how Wakoku doesn’t have any Adventurer Unions there and the security against monsters is taken care of by these ninjas and "Mono no Fu" that’s under the Wakoku king’s pay-list, it all came together.
Meaning, getting that flower to the other side of the ocean could result in the king of Wakoku getting chummy with us... though, that’s the best-case situation. Not that it’s not without merits even if that doesn’t happen. The reward is damn big, even if it’s only half of what Kaizo predicted the nobles could pay us. More importantly...
"And what is that ’festival’-thing about?" - Revi
