"Hoo, are you waiting for me?" I asked them.
"Yahaha!" One of the om-oms was laughing exactly like Uncle Guy. They look like family.
"certain. Sure oes. When we heard the news, we immediately put up a request in the adventurer guild. We wanted to meet that guy, and then you finally came right when we wanted to go hunting! Ahaha!"
Hmm, wow. Is that as famous as me? Apparently the power of adventurous networking is almost like social media. Not really, it's been almost a week since I defeated the black snake. If social media can reach the whole world, then adventurous networks will reach the surrounding areas.
But if it is calculated with a world without social media, it should be so fast. All right, good adventurers. Continue your work until I am famous until the neighboring country.
"So I came in when the hunt was about to begin. Then, what else are you waiting for?" I said with courage.
"Yes. I like that spirit of yours. Indeed that was how adventurers should have defeated Black Phantom Snake." The om-om stands up and picks up the items on the table, followed by the other om-om.
So that om-om over there knew about the monster's name, huh. I can't underestimate a person who knows so much about the adventurer world. Who knew he was also a high-leveled adventurer, or even my first prediction was correct.
"All right, let's go!" Shouted that.
"Good!" Everybody answered.

We entered the forest not far from the village. The trees here are quite large, and the distance from each other is also close together. The point is we had a bit of trouble moving because of these trees.
The path we used had already started to be covered with grass once it got deeper. Sunlight can still enter through the gaps between the leaves, so we can still see quite clearly around.
So far we have only found a few common wild animals. Foxes, snakes, wild boars, all classified as wild animals that are not too dangerous if left alone. They could even be said to have run away when they saw us.
Our goal was not to hunt them down, so we let them pass by. If they attack first, we will destroy them. I don't even need to move at all, that om-om is strong enough to overcome them.
"You even look strong enough to handle them, uncle. Then what do you need to call an adventurer for?" I'll just call him uncle. After all he turns out to be his client, Uncle Reinald.
If the om-oms... It's actually rude if I call om-om. Since they are not adventurers, just ordinary residents, then I should call them what dong?
Maybe just hunters. We were hunting too.
"For what? You'll know when you see the beast later." That's answer.
"All right," I can only wait for my stage show to arrive. A wild animal is different from a wild animal. You can find wild animals anywhere whenever you wander, but wild animals will not hesitate to attack even once they see you.
I could hear some birds chirping around us, along with the sounds of forest insects. A walk in the woods wasn't as bad as I thought. Especially accompanied by an om-om who carries a rope, and a sack. You will feel safe along the way. I mean the hunters.
"Hold." Uncle Reinald stopped our steps.
The birds were flying around us, and the sounds of the insects stopped.
Well, I already know what this is. "Even I myself still can't feel its existence. How did you realize that so soon, uncle?"
"The key is experience."
Hmm, that's right too. The experience in the game is different from that in the real world. Although it could be, but certainly not a sure thing. Because your body is asleep while playing games and your mind is not, while your body will still wake up if in the real world.
Makes sense. My experience in this real world hasn't even been a week. My point is the world I live in now, if my experience in the world before, I can't swim.
Uncle Reinald prepared his weapon, as did the other hunters. Our seven-man group should have been enough to defeat a beast. Moreover, that uncle looks really great. But I don't know exactly what kind of animal it is.
I heard the sound of scraping something with bushes or trees. We all became vigilant and prepared for the surprise attack. The voice was getting clear and moving quickly.
"He's coming!"
Khiyaaaaaakk!!!
Huh!? So fast!
Something very big jumped at us from behind the bush. The beast was larger than an adult lion, and had silvery fur, as well as wings that flapped wide behind its back. I remember the woman that night.
"Griffon!" My yelling.
"Well, you know too, yeah."
A hunter holding a large shield jumped up and banged the shield against the griffon.
Bugg!!
Emm!! It must have hurt a lot.
"Everything, get out of the woods and lure the animal out into the open! We're gonna catch that thing!" Shouted the uncle.
"Good!" All the hunters began to run away from the griffon, I followed in their midst.
We arrived at a slightly open place, and the griffon was still chasing us. Everyone started to take their positions and surround him.
Khiyaa!!
"wait. Wasn't the griffon a high-level monster. Why would you put a C rating on a request instead of a B?" I asked the uncle.
"Our focus is not on the rankings, but the rewards. Other adventurers won't take the small rewards, but you will." The uncle replied while remaining focused on the griffon.
"What's!? So you guys just want me to come?"
"Of course not. We'll definitely need your abilities later."
The griffon moved back and lunged at one of the hunters in front. His other comrades immediately provided defensive support to him, and some also started attacking with wooden sticks.
"Why should a wooden stick?" Ask wonder.
"Because we don't want to hurt her beautiful skin that would be so precious. So we can't ruin it." The uncle explained.
Mmm, I'm surprised by the habits of the people here. But the griffon had wings. He should have been able to fly.
Khiyaaaa!!!
Justjust right. I just said, now he's trying to fly. The hunters had trouble approaching because the flickering of their wings made a strong wind.
"Now, Riel! Shoot his wings and make him fall! Don't hit his body or his head!" Shouted Uncle Reinald.
Oho! I-i understand. This time it's my part as the Anti Aircraft Gun. "Send me!" I picked up the gun and tried to aim at the griffon's wing accurately.
My passive skill in the open room should have helped improve the accuracy of his shot. Eagle Eye's. All right, let's try.
Can't be headshot, and must be about the wings.
Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!
Fumble. Fumble.
Got hit!
One of my bullets pierced through the griffon's wings and made him lose his balance.
"Keep shooting him, Riel! I'll give you a reward for every griffon you manage to drop!"
"Sheyaaap!"
Dor's! Dor's!
Dor's! Dor's!
Uncle Reinald who had been next to me walked up to the griffon, then slit his throat with a very sharp dagger. Blood gushed out like a fountain. No, that's too much.
Eww.
It's more disgusting than I thought.
The griffon did not turn into ashes and dropped crystals or other items? Aren't the monsters inside the dungeon like that? I asked that to uncle and got quite an embarrassing reaction from him.
"Huh!? You never learn, do you? Monsters are different from animals. If the animals disappear like monsters too, then what do you want to eat?"
Also true. It's the real world. It's the real world that somehow merges with the game world system. Whatever it is.
I admit I skipped school a lot, but this is common knowledge that you can even get outside of school!
Oh, how shameful I am to catch a little thing like this. Even a child might already know. Do I have to go to kindergarten in this world?
"Oh, yes uncle. You said you'd give me a reward for every griffon I dropped. But isn't the griffon just one?" I asked that as I stepped closer to uncle and the others. My feet almost stepped on the grass that was already splashed by the blood of the griffon.
Khiya!!!
Khiyaaakk!!
Khiyaks?
Oh, mercy. Now a lot of them appear. The griffons flew over us and there were two in number, then they kept growing.
"Huh. It was a good fortune for the griffons to come to the forest near our village. Yep, drop them all and we'll catch them. Isn't that easy for you? The skin is expensive, the flesh is tasty, and the head can be put on display." The uncle stood next to me again and clasped my shoulder.
Eeek!!
"Your hands are full of blood, uncle!" I jumped away from him and stared at the shoulder of my jacket which was blown away by the griffon blood.
One of the griffons lunged at us from above, then was held back by the big shield. The other hunters also came and formed a formation.
Khiyaaakk!!
"Aahaha! Sorry, sorry. Later you can take a bath once you get to the hunter's barn. There's warm water."
"Well, ahhhh!!" Who would have thought this would happen!!
Rather than taking care of these blood stains, it is better to focus first with the opponent. The griffons are popping up more and more.
"I want to take a hagaaatt bath!!" I changed the gun bullets and shot back at the griffons in the air. The thrill of dropping them reminds me of a world war game.
Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!
Khiya!!!
***
"Fuaahhhh!"
Soaking in warm water after being tired all day is very delicious. This wooden bath feels so natural and natural. Uh, same thing.
Although this is the body of the game character, but it really feels like real. The warm water seemed to absorb all over my skin. It had been a week since arriving in this world and I was finally able to soak in warm water.
"Sister Riel, I put the clean towel on the doorknob." That's one of Uncle Reinald's daughters. He's about 5 years old.
Uncle Reinald also had one son who was already big, and was now working in the capital as a knight. Great also.
"Okay, thank you." I pulled it from inside.
The griffon hunt in the forest this afternoon was really exhausting. I didn't expect that they would be that many in one group. I managed to take down the six rare animals, then the rest was taken care of by the hunters.
The Griffon we hunted just now was not the type that could be used as a mount animal, but rather the type that attacked and stole livestock. There was even a case of them kidnapping the villagers. That's why they should be removed.
If you say uncle, the griffon leather is a very valuable item. Because it can be used as clothing, adventurer attributes, to magic scrolls. The meat was being cooked by the wives of the hunter-gatherers, and his head would be preserved into a display on the hearth.
All right, looks like enough. The aroma of cooking can already be smelled by me.
I got up from the bathtub and slowly opened the door to pick up the towel behind it. After drying my body, I got dressed and got out of the bathroom. The long blonde hair that was still a bit wet I let it run down to make it dry quickly. There is no hair dryer here.
"Ah, Riel huh? Dinner's ready, come with us." Said one of their wives, we met in front of the bathroom hallway.
"OK,"
I descended from the 2nd floor of the building, then arrived at a large room where I first came here. Hunter buildings. If considered further, this building turned out to have several other rooms, in addition to a large main room.
Now the place turned into a large dining room on top of his table was already filled with a lot of food. From the looks of it it's delicious.
the six hunters were already sitting at the dining table with their families. Some are still unmarried, including me. But it's like a big family dinner.
"Bye, Riel! How's the water warm?" Ask the uncle.
"Very great!" I held my thumb.
We all set our positions on the table. After everyone thanked them for the meal, they immediately picked up the dishes available on our plates to enjoy.
The hunters, especially the uncle, took a lot of meat. It corresponds to their body parts. If the wives were taking food for their children. There was also a boy whose age was not far from me, but it was not important.
I was confused here, there was meat soup, grilled meat, skewered meat, and a few other side dishes. But there is no rice. There was only bread, and I felt that my tongue was still unfamiliar with the food in this world, even though the food in the inn was not much different.
It's just that here the meat comes from griffon, and the portions are for large families. Never mind, I have to thank him.
"What's up, Riel? Don't you want to try griffon meat?" Uncle Reinald said.
"Ah, yes. I'll try." I took a piece of grilled meat that had been seasoned onto my plate, then tasted it a little.
So this is what griffon meat tastes like. Not as good as beef, a little hard, but not fishy.
"Nake too."
"Haha! Few adventurers have ever enjoyed griffon meat. So you're one of the lucky adventurers in that town." Said the uncle, biting on the next piece of meat.
After we finished dinner, I was welcome to stay in one of the rooms in Uncle Reinald's house. I was given a room belonging to his son who worked in the capital as a knight.
I can't go home now to Ciatar City, because the trip is far away and the night is a rather dangerous time to travel. Especially if I am a girl. They say that around here once there was a bandit.
Finally, another element of the fantasy world. Bandits.
I want to fight against them. Goblins have never been. I will make it my list of goals in this world.
One more thing, I will add against the dragon in that list. It's incomplete if you're into a fantasy world but haven't met a dragon. Then, elf! The dwarf! The fairy!
Well, I keep daydreaming it on the bed until sleepy. And good night everyone.
