Chapter 79: I Made A Lot Of Money

Ah, if Mister Udoka was here, things would go smoothly.

After all, he had already seen me use the storage magic, so I wouldn’t have to explain that to him.

And so I asked him a question.

“I have quite a lot of it. And I don’t know the exact amount… But I’ll have the slimes take it out, so if you could just make the calculations?”

“Aye. That’s why I’m here.”

Mister Udoka said as he showed me the request form.

There was a section where you wrote down the amount of firewood that had been brought in.

‘Slimes. Go ahead.’

I said, giving them the order.

‘Okay!’

They answered. And then the firewood started to come out of the slime.

As always, I was confused as to how it all fit in them…

It was with such thoughts that I watched the slimes fill up the area with a ridiculous amount of firewood.

“…This…when is this going to end?”

“I don’t know. I had the slimes store it as soon as I chopped the wood.”

‘This is only half of it!’

The slime answered.

It seemed like they had already taken out a huge pile, but there was still more.

‘Thank you. Take out the rest then.’

‘Okay!’

We watched the slimes…and in about 5 minutes, they were finished stacking the firewood.

Then the slime returned to my shoulder and declared:

‘Finished!’

‘Thanks.’

I said and petted the slime. And then I told Mister Udoka that it was done.

“Looks like that’s it.”

“…You did say there was a lot. But this is just insane…”

Udoka said as he stared at the pile.

What was just empty land a moment earlier was now filled with firewood.

…As I had chopped and stored, chopped and stored, I hadn’t had a good grasp on how much there was. It really was a lot when you looked at it like this…

And all of this firewood had been contained in a slime that was on my shoulder.

If the slime ever unleashed all of its contents by accident, I would die in an instant.

“I guess this might be too much for you to calculate by sight?”

“…No. I can do it quite easily. Just wait a minute.”

Mister Udoka said as he started to measure the height and width of the pile.

Then he did some calculations and replied.

“So that’s 18,500 kg. And since the quality is so great, I would have liked to say there was more…but I can’t lie on a guild contract, unfortunately. Though, you may be able to negotiate for a higher price…what do you think?”

“No, I’d rather go cut more wood then waste time negotiating. …Besides, I’m sure I’ll get a decent amount for 18,500 kg.”

“I see. …It seems like a waste. After all, this would be twice as effective as damp wood. Damp wood does little to raise the temperature when it is burning.”

That different, huh?

I had never used it myself, so I didn’t know about the difference.

Well, it was true that a lot of energy would have to be used to evaporate the moisture in the food. So it would take longer for the temperature to rise.

As for the weight, he was just making a rough calculation, so it was probably not accurate. But this wasn’t like earth, where they had precise scales, so it was fine.

Thinking about such details was a waste of time.

As I thought about this, Mister Udoka filled in the form and signed it before passing it on to me.

In the rewards section, he had written: 555,000 cicols.

“Take this to collect your reward.”

“…I’m getting 555,000 cicols just for cutting wood for a few hours? I almost feel bad…”

“There isn’t even a tiny reason as to why you should feel bad. If anything, you’re not accepting enough. …You are the savior of Rikardo. You should be proud.”

Mister Udoka said as he returned to the guild.

…I should hurry up and report it so I can go back and gather more firewood.

“I’ve had it all calculated. …So, can I collect my reward now?”

I said as passed her the form.

The receptionist looked at it with wide eyes.

“Eighteen thousand…!?”

“Yeah. Thanks to the slimes. They could carry all of it.”

I said as I petted it.

The slimes had been very useful to me up until now, but on this occasion, it was pretty much all them and Ultra Combat Art.

I just swung the axe and let the skill do the rest. There was no easier job.
