Chapter 211 - 210 - That's A Lot Of Money.
After that scare, Luna and Ward returned to their room and washed their faces in the bathroom. But they were still very scared about what that thing that had appeared on Ward's bed was.
They argued for a while, but could only come to one conclusion.
And the conclusion they came to is that that thing is a demon that is living inside this inn hiding or something, so it run when Raquel appeared. But why would he appear in the middle of the bedroom of the two of them?
Maybe he was living there already and was hiding somewhere.
"But is that it? I have my doubts." Luna said to Ward as the two of them walked out of the bathroom a little startled. They looked around and even looked under the beds.
But they found nothing.
"Should we ask to change our room?" Luna said but then immediately shook her head in denial.
"No, we are here without paying, we can't afford to ask for another room." Even though she was worried about sleeping here again today, Luna didn't want to do that.
What if Yomu and Raquel got angry and kicked them out of the inn? She didn't want to risk it.
So she dismissed that idea.
"So, did you guys see the monster again?" As soon as they came down they found Raquel smiling at them.
'Is she mocking me?' Luna felt extremely embarrassed now.
"We didn't see anything." Luna was trying to look like she wasn't feeling anything, but she felt so embarrassed now.
She doesn't know why she is feeling this way, maybe because Raquel thinks they are crazy?
'Damn it, let's forget about it.'
Luna and Ward sat down at the table and soon after were served by Raquel.
A large loaf of bread cut in two and stuffed with some kind of meat. The meat was toasted on the outside and it was whitish on the inside, much like wild boar meat.
Besides the bread, they had also been brought a fruit salad that was put in a small pot, and also two little bags of sugar for those who wanted to add more sweetness to the fruit salad.
And the drink they had received was a cup of coffee mixed with a good amount of sugar.
"That looks yummy," Ward said as he salivated and looked at the plate.
"First of all, say thank you."
"Eeeeh? But we've never done that before."
"Just do it."
Then the two put their hands together and began to pray in thanks for the food. It was a fairly common thing in their race, but they were not in the habit of doing something like this.
But now Luna thought they should be thankful for all the food they could get.
"After we finish eating, we'll go to the adventurer's guild to deliver the rabbits and then we'll look for a job right after that," Luna said as she delighted in her stuffed bread.
"Right." Ward was almost finished eating his bread. The people around him were startled by the speed at which he was eating.

Walking for only a few minutes, Luna and Ward reached the adventurer's guild that was a block away. Luna carried her bag where the two rabbits were while Ward held her other hand.
Like yesterday, many people were looking at the two.
'Is it because we are from a race that lives in isolation?' It was probably because of that.
But ignoring all the uncomfortable looks around her, Luna arrived at the adventurers' guild.
Since it was still morning, many adventurers were still in the guild choosing their orders, so the guild was quite busy.
The building was not very big, so Luna decided to wait until the building had emptied a little. Meanwhile, she analyzed the structure of the guild. It was a building of only two floors.
Unlike the inn, which was made of wood, the adventurers' guild was made of brick. And unlike the inn that had many decorations, the only decoration in the adventurers' guild was a sign on top of the door that said "Guild".
The door of the inn they were staying at was small, but here it was different. It was a huge door that opened both ways and took up almost the entire wall. So Luna could see everything inside.
And about the windows, there were no windows in the front of the guild. On the second floor, there were some windows, but on the first floor, there were none, since the front was mostly occupied only by the door.
But on a closer look, there were a few windows scattered around the inside of the first floor. Probably the windows overlooked the alleys between the guild and the buildings next door.
'There are no balconies here. And on second thought, our room doesn't have a balcony. Maybe only the people who pay more get a room with one?'
But Luna didn't want to think about that too much. She stood in front of the guild watching the movement of groups of muscular adventurers wearing armor coming out.
Had women too, but they were equally muscular. And of course, they all had animal ears and tails.
Only one or two were human, which was common.
Humans travel everywhere.
"I guess we can go now." But noticing that the building had emptied a bit, Luna held Ward's hand again and walked toward the entrance. When she entered, she was greeted by a carpet of cloth.
On the carpet was embroidered "Welcome."
'They are quite welcoming.'
Luna entered and found a few counters. To be more exact they had three counters.
Two clerks were pretty girls with rabbit ears who were attending and accepting the adventurers' requests.
And one counter where a muscular man with bear ears was receiving the adventurers' hunting.
Since it was early in the day, only a few people were selling their hunts, so there were only two people in line.
"Come with me, and don't talk to anyone, all right?" Luna said low to Ward and then got in line.
It didn't take long for her to be attended to.
"So, how can I help you? I've never seen you around here before, are you an adventurer from another town?" The muscular man with bear ears asked.
"No, I'm not an adventurer. I just have some rabbits here and I was wondering if you guys will buy them."
"Rabbits, huh? Where are they? You can put them right here."
"Is that okay?"
"You've already drained all its blood, haven't you? Then it's okay."
"Okay." Luna took her bag and placed it on the counter. Then she removed the two rabbits.
"They both have a perfect cut on their necks, huh? Who hunted these? This person is someone talented."
"A friend..." Luna didn't want to mention that the one who killed the rabbits was an imaginary friend of her younger brother. What would he think if he heard something like that?
"I see. It's a shame that the rabbits have been out of the freezer for so long, the meat isn't so good anymore. But their fur is pretty good since there are no wounds on their bodies. Good, we can buy this."
"Good..."
"You're not an adventurer, are you?"
"Do I need to be an adventurer to sell this?"
"Of course not. But it would be good to put that on your adventurer's record if you were one."
"The sale of such weak animals?"
"Weak? They are not weak, miss. These rabbits are very quick to run away and attack. Look at their claws, one punch from this monster and you would bleed to death."
The man put the rabbits' fingernails out. The fingernails have approximately five centimeters.
"Unfortunately they don't have their heads, so the horn has been lost. The horn is also very sharp and good for creating weapons. These monsters are very useful and are also strong."
"Got it..." Luna was speechless. She looked at Ward but the boy also looked surprised.
He also didn't know that these rabbits were so strong since they were killed so easily by his friend.
"Wait for a second here, I'll put those rabbits away and I've prepared payment."
"Sure."
####
"Here you go. Since the materials were in great condition, I'll give you 50 copper coins for each rabbit. So in total, it's 1 silver coin. Is that okay?"
"..."
"If you had brought the rabbit's horn I could raise the price, but unfortunately... Hey, are you okay?"
"ALL OF THIS? IS THAT 1 SILVER COIN?" Luna who couldn't believe it shouted in the middle of the guild. The adventurers who were still inside the guild looked at her startled and confused.
The man with the bear ears behind the counter almost took a step back at Luna's sudden "Attack".
"Yes, that's right." He said while sweating and appearing nervous.
"That's a lot of money... Can I keep that?" Luna took the silver coin and looked at it as if it were a treasure. No, to her this was a treasure, she had never received this much money before.
"Of course, the money is yours." The man smiled forcibly as he looked at Luna holding the coin in front of her eyes.
"Will I earn all this again if I bring you more of these rabbits?" She asked excitedly.
Ward next to her understood that was a lot of money, but he preferred to stay silent.
"Sure, it's our job."
"All right then.. I'll be back later with more monsters."
