Chapter 7 - Hunting Parties

After the tax collector left, Eirene was stunned from what her discovery, She needed to pay taxes

" No way, Two gold, that thing is expensive"

Since her sister, Elicia didn't contribute enough to the tax collector, Eirene life is in danger at most

Her savings were not enough, She spend it all buying livestock and restoring her mana, It was a nightmare for Eirene.

" Well, I don't have enough money to pay those taxes, Two gold is the most expensive thing I have ever seen"

As such, two gold is equivalent to two hundred silver, it is hardly expensive knowing Eirene have to pay taxes, if she didn't contribute, she will get executed

" Well, I need to make money over the span of a week"

After that, Eirene recalled what she witnessed at the Central Plaza, it was a news poster, There she recalled everything she knew

" Wait… maybe I can get a quick money just by slaying monsters,"

Then, Eirene recalled the poster information, it is about slaying monsters, Eirene saw that she could get money just by slaying monsters creatures roaming at the forest

Based on the poster information, Karama Village was overran by deadliest monsters and beasts, so the town opposed an event to slay these beasts, hoping for the safety of others

These beasts have a ranking system, Low-level beasts means no to little threats, Mid-level beasts are normal beats, High-level beasts means high threat and Peak-level beasts means dangerous kinds of creatures

" Oh… maybe I can repay those taxes just by slaying beasts… Oh I'm a genius"

After Eirene muttered herself, she left her home and went to the town gates, There she payed a toll from a kindly hearted knight

" Sir, here the toll"

" Wow… 1 silver, where are you going ma'am, I should tell you that there are monsters that roaming around the field"

Seeing my childish and youthful face, The knight mistaken me as a teenage girl who is overprotective, Then I proved the guards my true strength

I sliced a small scar from my right palm using a dagger, the knight was left confused, then I showed them my true talent

" Blood Sword"

After Eirene muttered the command word from the knights, My Blood Sword awakened, showing a sword covered entirely of my own blood, showing it to the knights

" Woah, what extraordinary power, She can cast a sword made from her own blood, May I perhaps tell your skill"

As the knights from the town gates saw my Blood Sword, they asked me what Human Skill I possess, so I tole them the truth

" Ugh, this is a blood sword"

The knights were stunned from my skill, It seems that they have neither of them have an inspect skill, From this way, they cannot see my current stats

Then the knight replied to Eirene

" Because of your skill, I suppose you are going monster hunting, Am I right?"

Then, Eirene nodded in approval, The knight knew that I was leaving the town, slaying monsters to repay my sister taxes

" Oh… You can't go alone in the forest, I would recommend you to join hunting parties"

" Hunting Parties?"

Then the knight pointed out a group of adventures, located between the caravans, There were three of them assembling their own parties,

" These are hunting party, the leader of the party is Junior, my fellow brother, you can join there if you want to battle monsters side-by-side"

" A hunting party, that sounds nice"

After the knight points out the parties, I waved farewell from the guard and went to the caravans where the parties are located

There, I saw Junior, and his subordinates, It appears that the party was only consistented on boys, not a single woman was in a party, so I joined

" Junior, can I join your party"

Seeing that my expression is bit of a childlike expression, She mistaken me as a young girl once again, much like the knight from earlier

" Oh.. Miss, you seems to go in a wrong place, even your colored eyes doesn't suit you in battle"

The members of the party burst out in laughter, I was rejected

It seems that I was a simple minded girl who is not suitable for fighting, so I showed them their true strength

" Blood Sword"

Then, from her self inflicted wound on her right palm, her blood solidified and thus, creating a sword from her own blood, the party were stunned

" Woah, what ability that your possessing, that Blood Sword will sure come handy in battles"

With no hesitation, the leader of the hunting party, Junior immediately accepted it, Knowing Eirene human skill is overpowered

There, Eirene meets the other members of the party, The party has only three members

Their leader of the party is Junior, he is a muscular, mid 20's and a tanned body, he wield a giant mace covered in his big-ass name, Junior, reminded me of a weightlifter though

The other man is called Chard, he is a slim body, also mid 20's wearing a hooded outfit, also appears a dark and gloomy side, he wields a spear

Then the last one is Den, he is a youngest of the group, 17 years old, a frail and pale skin I suppose, and wields a singular dagger

" Huh, this Den is one year ahead of me, supposed that he is the youngest of the party,"

Even though the party is full of bloodlust expression, Den appeared to be a timid, or so though a soft boy

" Maybe, Dean Is my type overall, I prefer soft boys"

Then, Junior shouted from his members, awaiting an important announcement

"Well, we will be going to Karama Village, there several monsters will devour you, so use all your strength to kill those monsters"

Then, Junior gave the following information

" Karama Village is located at the Eastern side of the Town Allure, it is located at the deep forest, abandoned and wretched, overran my deadliest monsters and other beasts"

" That village serves as an hunting ground for us, adventurers.. We will be making good money every time we slay one of the beasts"

After that, our party paid a carriage from the caravan, heading to Karama Village, I only think of the money, to pay some taxes, and acquire a sum of two gold,

" Excuse me sir, the caravan will leave shortly"
