The first response was a sigh from Wayne. “Brooks, the fact that you’re offering gold coins means it’s coming straight out of your reward money.”

“That obvious, huh?”

“And let me guess, you just chose the amount of money you’ve got in your wallet right now.”

“Wa ha ha, guilty on both counts!”

Naturally, they’d received much more reward money than that for defeating the Demon King, but it was rare to see silver coins used for payment, let alone gold.

He’d probably decided that taking all the money he’d gotten was a bit excessive and had instead shoved a handful of coins into his wallet because he couldn’t be bothered to count. It certainly sounded like the kind of crude estimation that Brooks would do.

“Er, gold coins? Gold coins...”

With that much money, Lacey could have a room at the inn she’d been staying at in the capital for six whole months, board not included. Lacey reflexively gave Brooks a doubtful look.

“...aren’t really something you should spend so easily, I think...”

“Really? I’m in a real tight spot, though. I think it’s a reasonable amount.”

Of course, Lacey had no right to object when she’d donated magnitudes more of her reward money to the church without a second thought.

As for the problem that Brooks was referring to, that remained a mystery.

Mulling over whether to accept his request or not, Lacey absentmindedly clutched the miniaturized staff in her bag. But she quickly shook her head. Lacey had a bad habit of letting her immediate urge to refuse take over. She’d been so motivated to try her best just minutes ago.

This would be the third person...technically, the second person plus the phoenix, to commission her. Since he was a former companion she trusted, this was an excellent opportunity to gain experience. Lacey unconsciously slanted her unconfident, drooping eyebrows into a focused angle and stiffened her lips.

“Please tell me the details of the job you’d like done.”

“Ooh, now you’re sounding professional!”

Wayne placed another serving of snacks onto the table and slapped Brooks’s back as if scolding him for making fun of her. But of course, he didn’t even flinch.

“Hrmmm.” Brooks folded his burly arms and thought. “So it’s like this. I’ve got a big problem.”

“So I understand.”

“Where do I start...”

Brooks’s nose wrinkled in thought. Then he pounded his fist into his hand. Lacey had a bad feeling about this.

Lacey would soon come to regret her decision.

“I-Isn’t Brooks too fast?! Is he really human?!”

“Unfortunately, yes.”

Lacey rode behind Wayne on his faithful steed and watched as Brooks dashed off and became a speck in the distance. She could even hear him laughing boisterously, “Dah hah hah hah hah!”

They were on a horse, and he was going on foot. But frighteningly enough, he was faster.

After gulping down all his tea and stuffing his face with snacks, Brooks had exclaimed, “Instead of explaining, it’ll be faster for you to just see for yourself! So let’s head out!!!” and forcefully stood up from his chair. It had almost sounded like the chair made a screech of relief once it had finally been released from its agony.
