Litty Attempts to Collect Honey

Litty and Roma went to report about the annihilation of Scarbs at the Bikki Mine.

If the Scarbs were not completely taken care of, there would still be a possibility of the new queen being born, which would once again lead to the increase in the number of Scarbs.

Upon receiving the report, the Topas branch of the Adventurers’ Guild expressed their understanding and assured them that the Bikki Mine would be handled seriously.

The Bikki Mine had long been a topic of discussion in the town of Topas.

To get rid of the Scarbs and avoid future troubles, measures such as blasting the entrance of the mine were suggested in the past, but they were all rejected one by one.

One of the reasons was that blasting the entrance of the mine may result in the collapse of the mine and its surrounding area.

There were also protests expressed from some conservative locals.

“Before these Scarbs appeared, the mine was a source of revenue for the Town of Topas so some elderly people wanted to reclaim it without any damage.” (Roma)

“But that place has already turned into a danger zone after the appearance of those Scarbs.” (Litty)

“They know it’s dangerous, but they still refuse to co-operate. People don’t feel threatened unless their own lives are at risk.” (Roma)

“Let’s stop thinking about it as it has nothing to do with us. Our party defeated those Scarbs, and I think we have done a good job. We should focus on accumulating more achievements and aim to get promoted to the Rank 4.” (Litty)

The Adventurers’ Guild would personally notify each adventurer of the promotion exam.

Even if one were moved to a different town, there would still be no obstructions as long as adventurers had informed the guild in advance of their current destination.

Litty knew that the exam for promotion wouldn’t be decided immediately just based on this single incident alone.

That was why she was eager to go on the next adventure. If she were to get promoted, then she would be able to experience even more thrilling adventures.

For Litty, going on adventures had become a kind of drug, which she kept seeking one after another without stopping.

“Even a reward as small as Scarb’s could add up to a mountain. Moreover, the Queen’s reward should be quite high.” (Roma)

“Will it be enough to get me to the capital?” (Litty)

“It’s more than enough to fund your trip. As for me, I’ve decided to still stay here and build my strength.” (Roma)

“I see… Well, I am feeling conflicted between going on more adventures or visiting my village and meeting my family…” (Litty)

Litty didn’t really want to leave either. She wanted to stay with the old couple who had been taking good care of her just like their real daughter. And as Roma had suggested, she was also interested in exploring the areas around the Topas.

Even though it was already past dusk when they had returned from defeating the Scarbs, Litty, with her bottomless vitality, still showed no signs of getting tired.

“Come on, let’s take a break already. There’s no need to rush. Litty, You should take a break once in a while, or your body might collapse one day, okay?” (Roma)

“Yes, Roma, you’re right. I’ll be taking the rest of the day off, too.” (Litty)

***

Roma got up from her seat and left, Litty also prepared to leave but did not go straight home.

Requests were updated from time to time. The more enthusiastic adventurers would frequently check them.

After skimming through the requests, Litty quickly decided on tomorrow’s schedule, taking along the requests that she should be able to complete tomorrow.

“Excuse me! I’ll take this evening’s supply request!”

She did promise Roma that she would take a break, but she wanted to make good use of the spare time she had.

Rank 6 requests were unlikely to lead directly to achievements, but for Litty, it didn’t matter.

She fulfilled her duties as an adventurer through physical activity. It was also a rewarding experience for her.
