Chapter 10 – Quest Completed and Back Again (part 5)
“ HAHAHAHA... “
The sound of someone laughing loudly could be heard throughout the room, the person laughing if I'm not mistaken is named Bjorn from the Tomahawk party, a D rank adventurer party that only relies on muscles, without having adequate skills. A group like them shouldn't have returned safely from the dungeon we just conquered, at least my prediction is that they will lose 1-2 members.
But, not only did they survive the dungeon intact, not even a single person was seriously injured and made them stop being an adventurer. Not only that, the quest this time was successfully passed without any casualties, it feels odd when seeing this fact.
And at the center of all this weirdness was a man named Hyuga, a man whose main occupation was a blacksmith in the village, but who was also registered as a low-ranking adventurer.
Indeed, I've come across several blacksmiths who have two professions at once, usually they do so in order to gather materials or any other things they need, including customers for their works.
When the dungeon conquering quest started, and it was announced that Hyuga was in charge of the support squad, I only thought of him as an ordinary blacksmith from a rural village. However, after we conducted the quest, I didn't expect that this person would contribute so much to the quest.
These few days, after arriving in the city of Rockaxe, I searched for more information about him, but I didn't find anything too special. He was from Camellia village near the great forest in the south, his achievements as an adventurer were not outstanding and only did easy quests, in fact he was still ranked F after months of registered.
As a blacksmith, his career is a little more interesting, some say he is a beginner and learned from a fairly well-known blacksmith in these parts, so far, he has always accepted adventurers' weapon maintenance requests at a low price and said "because I am still a beginner", so novice adventurers in particular, are very happy when he visits the guild.
One of the gear and weapon shops that used to buy his forging said that he rarely made weapons and only focused on making protective gear, sometimes he made some knives, which were generally only as additional equipment for an adventurer and not knives specifically focused as weapons.
Speaking of knives, he makes kitchen knives and the merchant guild is interested in his work, going so far as to contract an exclusive agreement, as cooks and restaurant owners in the area are interested in his kitchen knives.
I asked the support team members I met in town, and they responded with various things about that person. But interestingly, I heard that there were two parties that had a fairly close relationship with him and had even been invited to train in Camellia village before starting this quest.
Their abilities that I saw in the dungeon were equivalent to D rank, 2-3 of them might be able to go up to C ranks, if they kept practicing and because of this, it made me even more curious about Camellia village.
According to the reports I received, Camellia village is a village that cannot be underestimated, there are several people to watch out for and one of them is named Ricardo, the chief and coach of the village guard who is quite well known in this area.
A few months ago, that village should have been attacked by a beast from the Great Forest, but it seems like nothing major happened there.
One time I saw a quest to collect medicinal plants near the Camellia village, this was a good opportunity for me to see the village in person and sure enough the conditions in the village were fine, like nothing had happened and everything looked fine. I didn't really dare to wander around the village for a long time, to avoid that guy named Ricardo, and I sensed that there was another figure living there, which I didn't want to deal with.
Someone who made my hunches tell me not to mess around in that place. I kept trying to find information while suppressing my fear, the info I managed to get from the residents was, Hyuga spent most of his time working as a blacksmith, sometimes he helped some elderly residents do various things. He avoids arguing with others, except for Silvet, and they used to fight like cats and dogs.
On the other hand, he was full of questions, however, there was no evidence to support my suspicions. It seems that if I tell Hyuga to 'that person', he won't believe my words and will look down on Hyuga. Honestly, I think he would be the one to disrupt our plans if we continue to let him alone, but...

We continued our celebration until midnight, one by one returning to their respective places. Some people even had to be helped by their colleagues to walk, because they had too much to drink, after talking to the restaurant owner, I paid all the remaining fees and thanked him for this night. I was the last person to leave the restaurant tonight among all my colleagues.
"Finally it's all wrapped up, it's just a matter of picking up the reward from the guild tomorrow, then my quiet life will return... I still have some money on me, I'm going shopping tomorrow! Dahahaha... "
The knights' barracks are near the center of the city, but slightly to the south side of the city, while the adventurers' guild is on the more southern part of the city of Rockaxe. The city sits right next to a very large, yet unaccounted for hill to the north of the city and the entrances are divided in the south, west and east.
The southern part of the district is the most visited, as the path from the south connects with many villages from the southwest to the southeast. Therefore, the southern district has many shops, adventurer's guilds and so on.
The eastern district which connects the path to other cities and is a tourist area, hotels and restaurants and some residents also live in the settlements there, while the western district is the most densely populated residential area. while the government offices, the ruler's manor house and also the church are in the northern district right next to the hill of stone.
From the Starling restaurant to the knights' barracks, I had to pass through another area of bars and restaurants, there were still many signs of life along the way. Arriving at the turn that led to the south side I saw some unfriendly-looking people gathering as I approached, some glanced at me and whispered, then...
"Oiii... that bro over there. ", I glanced over and the one with the ugliest face among them called out to me, I pretended not to see him and continued walking. "OI! I'M CALLING YOU!"
The person approached and tried to grab my shoulder, I turned my head and looked at him as sharply as possible. His hand movement stopped, but he tried to put on the scariest expression he could, to try to scare me, then said...
"You seem like a nice person, it just so happens that our money for drinks has run out. Hurry up and give us some money!"
“ HOOO.....! “
I responded to his words with a loud voice and continued to stare at him, some people were surprised by my voice and began to try to intimidate me. I raised my hand and made a fist. They swallowed their saliva at the sight of me, after seeing the last person, I looked at him sharply and made a loud "HAH!" sound.
They seemed doubtful of their actions, but still tried to look scary in front of me. I turned my face away from them then immediately ran as fast as I could.
"""" Huh?! """"
" Chase him down!!"
After realizing that I was running away from them, they ran after me with all their might. Of course, I had no intention of being caught up by them and ran even faster away from them. I ran and ran, turning there, turning again to another place, they were still trying to chase me with all their might.
" HELP.......!!! "
I screamed as loud as I could, but no one responded. Naturally, it was already very late at night, seeing that no one was helping me, their faces were getting scarier and more eager to chase me.
At the end of the hallway, I saw a big door, with all my might I kicked the door and went inside, I saw a staircase on the right and a long table in front of me and saw, this was an inn and there was no one there, I climbed the stairs and banged on a door on the second floor.
As I looked down, the people chasing me had entered the inn and were preparing to climb the stairs. The door I banged on opened, the person behind the door seemed to have just woken up and was annoyed by what I did, several other doors seemed to be opening with the noise. The person in front of me looked surprised after seeing me...
“ Yo! “
I pulled that person out and took cover behind him, and as I looked toward the stairs the dozens of people who were chasing after me began to arrive one by one on the second floor. I pushed the man in front of me and that man was blocking them, the man in front of him tried to push and get rid of him, but before long, the man who tried to push him was thrown to the first floor.
The man who was blocking the way was the party leader of the Dark Rhinos and he easily pushed the people who were climbing the stairs and they dropped down, then piled on top of each other under the stairs, when I looked down, the man who was thrown down earlier was motionless and looked in pain as his back hit the floor.
"Oi Hyuga, what the hell is this?"
"Help me, they're trying to mug me. "
"Huh?! "
"Actually... Oh, I have to go now, please take care of the rest!"
"OOIII!!!"
I left the inn and headed toward the east gate, wearing the clothes I had already prepared.
