Chapter 09: The Coffin Hunters

In a city that had turned silent, people were talking to each other as they stared at the corpses being carried into the carriage by the guards. In addition to the bodies of the residents, the bodies of decapitated women and witches also did not escape to be brought to be examined.

Unbeknownst to everyone, deep in the darkness the four witches were secretly watching.

"We lost the girl."

"Someone said they went into the woods."

"If so I know where they're going, let's have my friends we'll have to get the wizard's body of greed and take eternity for us."

In an instant they disappeared into the darkness.

Elric is cleaning the sewers to get their meal money, if only Elric is strong he can take a job as a Hunter but unfortunately it is definitely impossible.

Hunter is the name of people who are able to hunt monsters to be sold buy parts of his body.

It's just a light job he can do or maybe a worker that most people avoid.

"You smell so much Elric, take a bath."

"It's for our food, you should help too."

"To have a cute girl like me do this is a crime" Namira said, still sitting on her coffin.

What Namira said might be true as well? Getting a girl to do this is clearly worse than trash, but Elric is eager to force her to know how much suffering she is now suffering.

Shortly thereafter the mayor appeared with two women beside him.

"It's good for the commoners, it's your pay."

A pouch made of cowhide was thrown towards Elric which he caught well. Elric peeked at the contents and found about 20 silver coins inside.

"It's not too much."

"Just take the bonus, next time you need to come back to me."

"Thank you very much."

The fat mayor left the two while laughing out loud.

"If that guy sucks, he's pretty good at paying for his job."

"I think so."

After cleaning himself, Elric and Namira went to the store, before the afternoon came they ordered some processed meat and some vegetables for five silver coins.

"It's so good Elric, you have to try it."

"Don't eat in a hurry, we can order more if less."

"You're so generous today, did something good happen to you?" Namira sent the question as she finished one cow's thigh in her hand.

For a body as small as Namira, she ate too much, Elric murmured in the heart.

"Where is there such a thing, being stuck with you and your coffin is already so bad."

"It's not honest, but you always smile when you see my sleeping face."

"You know what?"

"Some times I've woken up, but I'm a little awkward opening my eyes" Namira lightly replied.

"Well, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry, I'm cute something like that is natural to me."

This fellow.

Elric decided not to break it down and focus on the food at the table until his gaze was diverted to the people who had just walked into the store.

Secretly he listened to what they said, judging by the equipment they were carrying it was clear they were Hunters.

"I heard there's a witch dead in the next town, but it's not just that.. The troubling decapitating woman also died there."

"Not that it's good, with this we'll live in peace."

"Foolishly speaking, the world will not be at peace with only the death of one or two witches, not even the death of the beheading woman."

"It's true, but what I'm worried about now is that the people who killed both of them, they might be witches, too."

Elric and Namira just pretend to calm down and then secretly both sneak away, but it fails.

"Wait a minute you two, I've noticed that the girl over there is carrying a coffin, what's really inside?"

"Ah, inside there is only a corpse, we intend to bury it in our hometown."

The Hunters sent a look of suspicion, as they asked to see both Elric and Namira immediately running out.
