Chapter 172

Request Fulfillment

When we returned to the town, we went straight to the Adventurer's Guild.

Along the way, we were gathering great attention.

"My! My oh my! You did something incredible again, Tak.u.mi-san~"

When we entered the Guild, Keimi-san immediately came to greet us, but she spread the words of surprise and disbelief instead.

Allen and Elena were holding two Pastel Rabbits in their hands each, while having another one sitting on their heads. And because I had the basket with another six Pastel Rabbits in each of my hands, so it might have been inevitable.

"You must have been stared at greatly up until now, right?"

"Yes, enough to make me pray that it stops…"

Most of the gazes were of envy and curiosity, but to be frank, they made me feel gloomy.

"Anyhow, Keimi-san. I'm thinking of reporting the completion of the request to the Stanval and Müller families first, may I ask you to do the procedures for us?"

"Yes, I got it. I will do it right away."

We moved to a separate room and Keimi-san began working on the procedures.

"The yellow one belongs to the Stanval family and please let the Müller family choose from either the red or pink one."

"Erm, yellow one is for the Stanval family, Müller family will choose one from the red and pink one? Roger. And so, what about these children? Are you taking them?"

"I planned on taking only two back, but… how many requests for Pastel Rabbits are there? There will be fourteen rabbits left…"

I might as well take the rabbits for the Risner and McPherson families too, but there surely isn't that many Pastel Rabbit capture requests, no?

"There are at least twenty of Pastel Rabbit capture request, so there is no problem. Rather, the rabbits are very welcome. I am so thankful~"

… More than twenty. So there are so many requests for Pastel Rabbits, huh~

I felt sorry to the other adventurers for completing their requests, but it was a needless worry.

"There are so many requests? There weren't that many displayed on the request board, right?"

"Yes, indeed. Only requests with higher priority and those with better conditions are displayed on the board. We are not proud of this, but it would not be possible to display all of the requests."

"Ah, that's so, isn't it?"

The adventurers are completing requests every day, yet the request board is always full. That's because new requests are coming in too, but there were requests that weren't displayed before as well.

"I shall process the requests to the highest bidders then, is that fine with you?"

Keimi-san checked with me whether it's all right to process the remaining Pastel Rabbits for the requests.

"Yes. No… wait a moment please."

I don't know what is considered high and low amount of money for the request, but wouldn't it feel a bit awkward to give the rabbits to the highest bidders?

"In the first place, are there requests on Pastel Rabbits based on their color?"

"There's a few of them like that, yes. Most of the request had not specified it, though. Obtaining the desired color would likely increase the price of the request, after all."

"I see. Keimi-san, I am sorry to say this, but would it be possible to show us all of the requests for the Pastel Rabbits?"

"N? Do you have some idea? Got it, I will arrange it immediately."

"Thank you."

Keimi-san left her seat and went to gather the people.

"Allen, Elena, you better decide on what children you are going to take to Theodore-kun's and Larry-kun's homes now."

""One bunny~?""

"Indeed, let's leave it at one this time."

""N~ … Got it.""

Allen and Elena chatted "this one or that one" among themselves.

""Decided~!""

"You decided? Then, for Theodore-kun's family——"

"Blue~!"

"The blue child, and for Larry-kun's family——"

"White~!"

"White child, I see. Then, hold on those two children and place others in the baskets."

""Yess~""

Just as we decided on the remaining two, Keimi-san returned.

"Sorry for the wait~"

"Keimi-san, you were fast… —— Are all of these requests for the Pastel Rabbits? Somehow… aren't there way too many?"

Keimi-san who returned was holding a considerably thick bundle of papers. All of those are requests for Pastel Rabbits… are they? From the looks of it, isn't there more than thirty?
