Alright, it's been two days since the Stampede so now we're heading to the guild to grab our reward and register our party.
It's afternoon so other adventurers should have finished taking theirs already.
We purposely went late to avoid people trying to solicit Alma into joining their party.
By the way, yesterday we spent all day relaxing in the inn while discussing our future plan.
I mean, can't really muster up motivation to do anything after such a huge battle, can you?
Presently, we're planning to use this town as a base of operation while hunting in low level territories like the forest and such, mostly focusing on training and gathering stuff like mats, and ingredients.
I'm still weak with virtually nil practical experience after all. I've been relying on nothing but ambushes so far, direct confrontations are kinda a big hurdle with my stats.
And even though Alma has obtained Paladin Job, she's still a beginner in adventuring business. We gotta think up ways to work together.
At the guild, we went straight to the receptionist Neia-san.
"Ah, Alma-san and Kajikawa-san, welcome. Thanks for your hard work with the Stampede. I'm so glad to see you're both safe."
"Same to you, good work with the herb appraisal. Nobody's died all thanks to the stockpile of potions you got us."
"A-are you sure? Ehehe."
Neia-san shyly yet happily laughed. I'm being healed.
I confirmed something in a whisper before we took our reward.
"...By the way, is it fine for me to fetch my reward here? Officially, I was absent during the Stampede..."
"Ah, yes. We apologize, Kajikawa-san's reward will be handed out at a later date. Not only because it may cause a trouble with other adventurers, we are still currently processing the calculation for Bladewings' mats and equipment carried by Hobgoblins."
"Mats aside, am I getting reward from Hobgoblins' stuff?"
"Master said it's kind of bonus for living up beyond his expectations. I can't believe master would praise someone outright like that, you're really amazing, Kajikawa-san! What did you do?"
"Sure you wanna hear it? It's gonna get pretty grotesque."
