Not long after, the three other residents of Room 10 trudged in, completely exhausted.

“Nils, Eto, Amon, welcome back.”

Despite their obvious fatigue, they looked accomplished.

“Ryo, we did it!” Nils said. He looked like he was on the brink of collapse, but Ryo wouldn’t let that happen.

“Nils, the job isn’t over until you get back to the room.”

And with that, he led the way to Room 10.

Once they arrived, the three of them literally toppled onto their beds. Eto and Amon were in such a bad state that neither of them had been able to say a single word since their return. The first thing Ryo did was give them each fresh, clean water in cups made of ice.

He waited patiently while they drank it.

“Ahhh! That hits the spot. All right, I’ll tell you everything since Eto and Amon are too tired to even speak.” Nils reached into his bag and pulled out two fist-sized chunks of magic copper ore. “Here’s what you wanted. The magic copper ore. We got lucky and managed to dig out two huge fistfuls.”

Ryo’s eyes ping-ponged between two chunks. “Wow! This is amazing!”“Now, about our payment... I’m thinking you won’t mind adding a little extra to the pot since we got two... Oh, I’m not trying to force you or anything since we’re roommates and fellow adventurers...”

“Of course, not a problem at all. You went above and beyond my expectations, so it’s only right that I increase the compensation accordingly. Hm, let me think... Including various expenses you might have incurred, how about nine hundred thousand florins? That means each of you gets three hundred thousand.”

“Th-Three hundred thousand... That’s thirty gold coins each...” Nils’s shock was clear in his voice.

The other two couldn’t make any sounds, surprise or otherwise, because of their exhaustion.

“It’s not enough, after all, hm? But I’m not sure I can go any higher...”

“No, your offer is totally okay with us. More than okay. Eto and Amon, you agree, right?”

Eto and Amon nodded as vigorously as their tired bodies would allow.

“Great, we have a deal then. I’ll go back to the guild and have them transfer three hundred thousand florins to each of your accounts from mine. Please let me know when you have confirmed that the transfer has gone through. And finally, thank you again so very much. Rest up. You deserve it.”

Ryo stood up and bowed his head respectfully at the trio. In times like this, it was important to remember good manners even between friends.

“No, no, don’t even worry about it. If anything...thank you for giving us the chance to earn money.” Nils bowed his head politely in response too. He remained sitting on the bed, too weak to stand up...

Right around the time they finally managed to sit up in their beds, somewhat recovered from their earlier exhaustion, Ryo said, “Oh, right. I have something I need to tell you three. The suspension on dungeon exploration is being lifted tomorrow.”

“What?!”

It was shocking news. Before they left on his job, the blockade was supposed to continue for at least a month.
