“Is it possible for non-hunters to sell things here, too?”

Misrepresenting oneself to a guild employee was a punishable offence. However, Reina was not telling a lie—she had merely asked a question, never implying that she herself was not a hunter.

“Y-yeah, that’s fine.”

Normally, the one in charge of the exchange counter was some gruff old man, and this Guild branch was no exception. If a woman were put in charge of the exchange counter, as with the other stations, you would start getting idiots who came in trying to intimidate a higher exchange rate out of her. Therefore, the job was usually entrusted to some tough-looking old fellow who had retired from hunting due to age or injury. Even so, no matter their age or health, such men would have no trouble putting a greenhorn in line with a little short-term violence—in fact, this was a prerequisite for the position. No hunter would ever dare oppose or disrespect the chief of exchange.

Plus, hunters never knew when they themselves might fall victim to injury, and someday, they would all grow old. Even the roughest of ruffians would put on their best sweet-talking act before the influential employees of the Guild, who might someday see to their own reemployment.

That said…

“Yo, old-timer, how much can ya give us for… Ngah!”

“Pardon us, might we ask you to assess these?”

Even if it was merely an act, Mavis could not abide Reina being so grievously rude to the man and hurriedly clapped a hand over her mouth.

“Oh please, Mister, you’ll give us a good price for these, won’t you?” Pauline’s flattery was blatant, but if it was for the sake of fattening her purse, she’d slap on a false smile in a heartbeat. However…

“P-please, Mister!” Mile said, attempting to wink, though as she was unaccustomed to such a gesture, she ended up closing both of her eyes. Indeed, she had done exactly the same when attempting her “Angel’s Wink” lightning magic.

“No need to overdo it there,” the old man said, grimacing. “You’re really somethin’, though. I’ve never seen anyone who could hold that much in storage before. Plus, it looks like y’all got these orcs’ heads off in one clean shot, with no other damages…”

“Ah, well, we bought them for cheap off of a hunter who was in a bind. He had killed three of them, but couldn’t carry them all,” Mile quickly explained.

Most of the price that an orc fetched stemmed from the difficulty of transporting it from the hunting grounds back to town. That fact alone made her argument a persuasive one, almost ridiculously so. The bulk of the hunters who overheard this began to lose themselves in wild fancies, imagining what their own profits would be if they could get their hands on someone like Mile. Of course, it would be one thing if she were a rookie hunter, but even low-ranking, she was still a noble, so the chances of something like that actually happening were more or less impossible. Still, it was fun to indulge in the fantasy.
