Chapter 114.3
“What’s that?”
“Hans gave it to me as a token of thanks.”
New fabric, especially Semgutt’s woven cloth, is rare to come by.
As I spread it on the table, everyone looked at the woolen cloth with interest.
Meanwhile, I opened the leather pouch, another reward, and smiled.
The captain had mentioned that Soprick’s reward for the subjugation wasn’t determined.
The garrison must have pooled it together. The pouch was filled with copper and large copper coins.
There were also silver and gold coins—probably from the captain. Or maybe Brent or Morris.
Looking west out the window, the sky was already colored, and the incoming wind was cooling.
Thinking of them, I turned my gaze back.
“Hey, you guys, don’t you want to eat some delicious meat to your heart’s content?”
“Squirrel meat!?”
Jemma bit on the unexpected.
That’s deadly serious.
“We’re butchering Gousus beef. If you help, you get to eat.”
“Oh!”
Cheering, Ted, and Jemma jumped up.
Gousus beef is delicious and a large chunk of edible meat.
It sells for a high price, and even after the trouble of transporting it, it’s a coveted catch for low-rank adventurers.
“We’ll do the butchering outside the town, downstream.”
At my declaration, Ted and the others raced off.
Lambert, Felix, and I watched them leave with a laugh.
“What about you two?”
“No, we’re not good at butchering.”
“You helped with their training, didn’t you? Consider this a thank you.”
“If you put it that way, we should join in.”
Asking Dana and Lily to handle the preparations and other cooking, we headed out with the eager Ted and others.
In the soft western sun, the excited voices spread along the road.
Looking at familiar friends and landscapes, I mused idly.
[Mental Resistance] suppresses negative emotions.
It’s convenient but makes it hard to know what you’re really feeling.
It can lead to judgment errors like this time.
Relying too much on it may be dangerous, but still, it’s an essential power to survive in this world.
Looking up, thin clouds drifted in the scarlet sky.
The image of my family blurred in distant memory.
“How about there?”
A sudden question brought me back.
Following Nails’ gaze, I saw Ted, Jemma, Quince, and Kyle waiting by the riverside.
Smiling at their beckoning, I couldn’t help but chuckle.
Jemma aside, Ted hasn’t changed either.
I thought he had calmed down a bit.
“Yeah, let’s go there.”
Agreeing, we headed over.
Then, without a word, everyone lined up by the riverside.
The first four had shining eyes, the others had determined faces.
“Now, we’ll start the butchering of the Gousus beef. Be ready.”
I grinned and pulled out the huge body.
