Slight Change From Object X 2

Chapter Eleven: Slight change from object x 2

"Hey hey. There's something called a magic bag. Really, what are you talking about."

Instructor Broad was completely amazed by me.

"Magic bag as in the bag that can put items larger than the size of the bag inside it and not feel the weight at all? Also, does time stop within the bag so that anything inside is preserved?"

"There's no way that time can be stopped right. Well, it's a great item that can keep items larger than its size."

The only fantasy-like element I've encountered in this world until now was magic so my heart was dancing.

"Is it expensive after all?"

"Yeah. At least 3 gold coins. That's because the returns you get from having it is huge."

I see. I guess mid-level adventurers would have it. Newcomers who grew up in wealthy families would most likely have it too.

"Please recommend me a shop someday."

"No problem. While I'm at it, I'll arrange to let you join in dismantling the monsters."

"Thank you."

"Okay. Let's end the chat here. Today your opponent is this large wooden sword I custom-made."

" … Erm, please hold back more than usual. No, please hold back as much as possible."

"That's so weak-spirited."

"I think my bones will easily fracture if I get hit by such a large wooden sword."

"Well I will go easy on you but I won't stay my hand. Try not to get fractures. Let's start!"

And so the days I got beaten up continued even though I didn't break any bones.

Three days later.

"Is it fine if I call you Lucien-Kun? It's fine right? I'm Garba."

What awaited me at the dismantling work room was a dog beastman with good physique and a handsome face.

I thought that if I sharpened a certain someone, he would closely resemble Garba-san.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Lucien. Thank you for having me today."

"Nice to meet you. It's okay for you to speak to me like how you speak to my brother."

"Oh as I thought?"

"Yup. Grulga is my younger brother."

"You resemble each other a lot." I said while smiling.

"Glad to hear that."

.

It looked like the two brothers were at good terms with each other.

"Let us begin then. We'll begin dismantling the monsters now. However depending on the monsters, some remain rigid even after death while others have poison so just watch for now."

A wild boar came out after he stuck his hand into the bag.

But … "Are … are monsters usually this large?"

"Eh? Ah. I guess this is around the usual size?"

I stared as Garba-san used a single hand to place the mini car-sized boar on to the table with a 『Don!』sound.

"Well then I will begin now."

I declare that this person is also a superman? a superbeastman?

Thus the skin was stripped off, viscera were scrapped out and the meat was cut into blocks and then placed into a different magic bag.

"After dismantling the monster, these are taken to the guild kitchen or butcher shop in the city for wholesale and the money is used to pay for the guild's operation costs."

"I see. But I feel like I am in the way by being here."

"It's okay. Even though you would gain experience in dismantling monsters here, Broad-san gave you to me to train your eye to find monster's weak points and areas where attacks can easily pass through."

"What do you mean?"

"It is to increase your survival rate even if just by a little when you eventually go on an adventure. Recently there are too little hard working newcomers who diligently prepare in advance just like you."

"For my case it is because I don't want to die though."

"That's usually the case for adventurers. There aren't too many people with strong heroic intentions nowadays."

Garba-san shook his head regretfully. I also dismantled a few small horn rabbits while talking with Garba-san.

"If you don't have any plans, do come by next week as well."

Thus dismantling work was added into my schedule.

For dinner that day, dishes were made from the horn rabbit I dismantled.

I once again realized that I should be a little more grateful for the meals. I prayed and conveyed my thanks for the meal before starting.

It seemed like Instructor Broad was quite busy recently as he goes somewhere every three days.

[Since that's the case I'll go to Garba-san's place then]. Just as I had that in mind, Nanaera-san, Mirina-san and Melneru-san, the three receptionist that I hadn't had much interactions with, called out to me.

"Lucien-Kun, because your knowledge is quite skewed, Broad-san asked us to look into it. That's why we are going to teach you."

The three of them blocked off the road and strangely let off an intimidating aura.

Since it would be scary if I rejected them, I accepted their offer to study today.

However I had one concern.

These three girls were considerably beautiful and had good personalities so I might get on the wrong side of adventurers by having them teach me.

I was so worried that I only had that in my mind. But my worry was completely unwarranted.

I later learned that I had already been recognized as a training fanatic and was deemed as an existence that's harmless to both man and beast.

In addition, because I've healed the wounds of countless adventurers at no charge for the past three months, I was held in reasonably high regard among the adventurers.

Due to that, I wasn't as anxious as I was taught by the three of them.

"You don't have to look so stiff, Lucien-Kun."

Nanaera-san smiled from the front.

"That's right. It'll be easy because you are literate."

Mirina-san smiled on my right.

"Then let's start."

Said Melneru sitting on my left with a mischievous smile.

That was how the three of them arranged themselves. It was the first time I saw a hard cover book instead of a booklet since coming to this world. But that doesn't mean that I didn't mind the situation.

"Erm everyone, that is a bit too close. And also how about your work? And what is with that pile of study materials?"

"I have a list of monster subjugations with illustrations and a list of recommended weapons and armours made from monster parts."

"I have the completed volumes on wild grass, mushrooms and fruits as well as a book on beginner-level pharmaceutical knowledge."

"I have the local area's specialty. It is the guide book that people buy as a souvenir when visiting this land."

Nanaera-san, Mirina-san and Melneru-san gave me an explanation on the study materials they brought respectively.

"Do I really need all of these?"

"""Of course"""

"Un…understood. So who should I start learning from?"

"It's my turn today."

Nanaera-san raised her hand while the other two went back to the reception counter while smiling.

Thus I had obtained a good opportunity to learn the current common sense in this world.
