Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master
chapter-291

Chapter 291 – List

After several days of sailing, we will reach our destination by the end of today.

It is the fishing port that I have visited in the modern era, and it was now 10 years ago. The Port town of Genkhan.

“We’re almost there, Big brother.”

“Yeah.”

“What are we going to do when we get there? I don’t want to see Hiro or Mamu.”

“Yes, me neither.”

The purpose of our trip is to visit Shiznautmy.

But, we heard that Fu’s father and the members of the former Demon King’s Army were visiting the area in the present for research purposes, so I worked at a fishing port to avoid encountering them and to earn a living on top of that.

And this time, I heard that my father and mother were in Shiznautmy.

To be honest, I’ve earned a lot of money from the horse races, so I’m not hurting for money, but I still have to avoid having troublesome encounters in Shiznautmy.

That being the case……

『Well, perhaps you could go camping again for a while… why not try working as a Hunter to gain experience as part of your training?』

Tre’ainar’s suggestion. That is whether or not I try to work as a Hunter.

In Honeyborough, I couldn’t register without showing my ID, so I never ended up working as a Hunter.

But, for me now, I can’t do it with Paripi’s forged documents. I don’t like the alias…

“Wanna go camping while exterminating monsters and searching for treasure?”

“Let’s let’s let’s do it! Curry♪ Curry♪ Curry~♪”

For the time being, Espie seemed to be fine with that, and was rather happy and excited, singing something like Curry’s song.

But, with Espie in such a state…

“Hmph… good grief…… you underestimate the life-threatening work of a Hunter… you’re such a child.”

“Un?!”

It was Slayer.

“What did you say?”

“Nothing…”

Espie approached Slayer, who was snickering, with a sullen expression.

As usual, Espie has a low boiling point against Slayer, but Slayer was just being Slayer, so there was no need to be so provoked.

He said he didn’t want to get involved with anyone, but he was standing at a slight distance from us, and both I and Tre’ainar noticed that he was glancing at us as he leafed through what looked like a stack of papers.

Are you worried about us? If I asked him, he would deny it, but…

“Oh~, Slayer, what are you looking at?”

“Heh, it’s nothing to do with you. It’s just a quest list distributed at the Hunter Guild.”

“He, heeh~, is that right? Let me take a look for a bit.”

“Huh? Why do you care? Whatever. Don’t get them dirty, okay?”

And as usual, he still has the attitude that he doesn’t seem to show me honestly, but in the end he shows me anyway.

I smile wryly and took a look at the papers.

The list included quest items for “Material Collection”, “Investigations”, “Monster Extermination”, and “Bounty Subjugation”, as well as illustrations, with diagonal lines crossing out those that had already been completed.

“Oh, this diagonal line… The Great Sea King Squid, the one you defeated.”

“I guess so.”

“Heh~, Hunters get this kind of handouts… so, what will be your next target?”

“I haven’t decided yet.”

Since I couldn’t even register as a Hunter in Honeyborough, I didn’t even know about these.

It looked like a list where you could choose your future adventures, and I started flipping through the list, thinking it would be kind of fun.

And…..

“Hmm? Super high reward…?”

I was flipping through a list and stopped when I found an entry that was being treated like a separate category from the previous ones.

“Yeah, those are the most difficult quests. The higher the reward, the higher the danger, and many Hunters have lost their lives so far. It’s not something that an amateur like you who knows nothing about hunters should suddenly dabble in.”

“Heh~, the highest difficulty…… By the way, how high on the list is that sea king? The Great Sea King you defeated.”

“…… w, with a little more time I think it would have gotten into the highest difficulty, but…”

“I see.”

To be honest, even though it’s part of my training, I’m not motivated to take a very dangerous quest on the highest difficulty level from the very beginning. Also, Espie’s here.

Still, it’s kind of interesting to see what kind of things are written.

And then……

“Hmm? Ah… Jamdi’el…”

“Huh?”

“Hmm? Oh, that… the Six Supremacy of the Demon King’s Army.”

I couldn’t help but pause when I saw a familiar face and name.

Wow, Jamdi’el was on the Bounty list… so she didn’t gain a bounty on her head after the war, she originally had a bounty on her head. Or rather, it was never lifted?

Well, it’s during the war, so it’s not unreasonable for humanity to put up bounties on the Six Supremacy.

If you think about it, Jamdi’el was the world’s highest-paid bounty in the modern era.

In other words, if you consider that to be the highest difficulty level, it can be used as a measure of various things.

“Jamdi’el… Hm~m…”

And as expected, Espie also reacted to Jamdi’el’s name.

Naturally for the Seven Heroes, isn’t it a name that can’t be ignored?

Slayer sighed at us…

“Either way, quests and bounties around here have nothing to do with you guys. You can’t even touch them if you’re only halfway decent. You’d have to be in the class of the Seven Heroes.”

One of the Seven Heroes was here though.

I mean, doesn’t Slayer know anything about Espie? Oh, you don’t care?

Well, it’s not unreasonable to doubt that this spoiled, jealous little girl was actually one of the Seven Heroes…

“Kuhahaha, I’m not going to hunt such a super big shot. Or rather, I can’t hunt this one on my own. …… In the first place, my ability is not good enough for this hunt.”

History would change. Or maybe she will become a mother-in-law in the future? Nope… I guess even the current me can’t beat her… even though it was with Tre’ainar’s help, Jamdi’el didn’t even intend to kill me in the fight at Cacretale…

“Anything else… Hmm? Paripi…… La’iphant…… Gouda…… Norja…… Hakuki…… every one of the Six Supremacy?”

Some of them were familiar faces, some were faces I’ve never seen before, but in any case, their names are all textbook-level people… what’s this, this outrageously dressed beast-eared little girl!? This is, I’m sure, it’s a micro-bikini armor that was in an ero book that I had before… come to think of it, Sadiz certainly got rid of that one in seconds, right?

『Fufu…』

And Tre’ainar, looking at the faces of his former companions and subordinates, even if in this way, seemed a little happy and nostalgic.

Well, I can’t encounter all of these guys like with Jamdi’el.

That’s right…… I can’t meet them all… no….. I won’t get to meet them… Six Supremacy other than Jamdi’el…

And yet…

“Oh, hey! Look at that, Genkhan… is sorta weird!!”

“””???”””

At that moment, one of the sailors in the lookout above the mast shouted as he looked through the telescope.

“From Genkhan… there’s smoke coming from all over the city!!”

Whether I liked it or not, this was the time period we were in.

Yes, anything can happen, it’s the Great War Era.
