Episode 108: Behind the rewards (Third Person Perspective)

"Satou-sama, thank you very much for this time."

"No, no, thank you for being so nice to us."

Takarada Shima, an ESJ employee bows to Fuhito. In response, Fuhito also bows his head while flattering the other party.

It was too much of a reward for Fuhito, so even if he were offered any more, he would just be filled with fear.

"It's not out of the question. It's a matter of course for Satou-sama, who made a great contribution. Of course, we will transfer the separately presented reward to your account, so please accept it."

"Ha, ha ... Really, just today's reward is plenty ..."

Fuhito's stomach hurts from receiving too much reward and from Shima's attitude. The feeling that he was just defeating small-fry monsters filled the thoughts of Fuhito.

"I can't do that. I have been asked from above to take care of Satou-sama, so ..."

"Yes, I will accept it."

Seeing Shima's stubborn attitude, Fuhito had no choice but to nod, thinking that if he didn't accept it, he wouldn't be able to go home.

"Thank you. Please take care and come back again."

"Yes, thank you very much. I was able to enjoy a good holiday."

Shima, whose smile on their face was a business smile, somehow managed to answer with a real smile.

Yesterday he was annoyed that he and Nanami were interrupted at the amusement park, but today he was able to fully enjoy ESJ with Nanami and Shia with only a small number of people, this might be good, were the heartfelt thoughts.

"I am happy to hear that. I look forward to seeing you again."

"Yeah, if we have the chance, I appreciate it."

"Thank you!!"

"Hmm!!"

In front of Takarada Shima, the ESJ staff member, the three people, Middle and High School students gave greetings, and then turned their backs to Shima and left for the station.

"I should say that I managed to make a connection."

Shima muttered while staring at the backs of the three.

Shima had received the instruction from a superior.

Be sure to make a connection with the explorers who exterminated the monsters. For that reason, I don't care what kind of reward you give them.

Shima certainly knew they were worth it.

The dungeon near ESJ is E-rank. ESJ hired a large number of D-rank and C-rank explorers and dozens of B-rank explorers under contract, so an E-rank stampede should have been no problem.

However, this time there aws an unexpected miscalculation.

First of all, the types of monsters.

It was a completely different type of monsters that had appeared from the E-rank dungeons until now, and their strength had increased by several levels. Because of that, the speed of extermination slowed even for D and C-rank explorers. On top of that, the most powerful monsters in the group were difficult opponents even for B-rank explorers. As a result, the speed of annihilation slowed down, the walls of the theme park were destroyed, and they were forced to allow entry into the park.

And secondly the number of monsters.

Originally, a Stampede was supposed to be a phenomenon in which a few hundred monsters, or a thousand to several thousand at most, appeared. However, in this Stampede, a far greater number of monsters appeared. If they were strong and numberous, it was only natural that they would be pushed back.

However, there were those who overturned the disadvantageous situation.

Those were the two people, Satou Fuhito and Katsuragi Alexia. There is also information that his younger sister used her powers as an explorer despite being a Junior High School student.

Shima also witnessed that power.

The two of them headed towards the crowd of monsters, and when Fuhito waved his fist, dozens of the enemies exploded and burst. When Alexia swings her sword, the monsters are cut into pieces one after another.

To be honest, Shima was completely shocked.

And in the blink of an eye, all the monsters that should have been in the western area disappeared.

It was a sight too unbelievable for Shima.

-Tururururrururuuu

At that moment, Shima's mobile phone rang.

"Hello!!"

Shima immediately answered the phone, the east side is in danger, can you send some help over there, was the content. But, the explorers who had been defending the area were exhausted and injured across the board, and had all withdrawn.

Those two were the only people that could be relied on.

When Shima requested them for help since there was no harm in trying, acknowledgement was obtained as long as they got paid properly.

From there, she was able to contact various people and obtain the right to decide how to reward Fuhito, and when she told them the reward when they returned, for some reason he consulted with the girls he was with.(TN:Thank you author for finally saying the person's gender at the end of the chapter ...)

Perhaps the reward was too little, Shima thought such, but it was a baseless worry, and she was relieved that he agreed with the reward.

Offer the best conditions, by making them super VIP members of ESJ, she was able to create a connection, so it can be said to be a success.

"I have to earn more trust from now on."

Shima, who spoke to herself again, turned on her heel and went back to work.

However, there was no one there to tell her that Fuhito was scared because the reward was too much.
