Chapter 301 : Extending A Helping Hand To The Poor Underling
'Phew...I can't believe we lived through all of that...' Shye mused as he hurled an entire makeshift tent towards the raging flames.
He then glanced at Seira, who lifted yet another tent made of sticks, palm leaves, and vines, tossing it into the fire soon after.
Shye must admit, he was impressed at Seira's performance.
As soon as he saw more than a hundred goblins surrounding them, his heart was promptly assaulted by pangs of loneliness, thinking that Seira probably wouldn't live through the day.
After all, he could escape if things went out of hand while Seira...would have no business fleeing from the Goblin Chieftain who was superior to her in every aspect.
Shockingly though, when the grim reaper came knocking at her door, she vehemently refused to go, fighting ferociously—like a cornered beast—to keep her little life.
Consequently, her hidden potential seemed to have been unlocked through that battle.
Shye was genuinely astonished by Seira's extraordinary focus during the most challenging moments.
Who knew that this little worrywart would turn out to be someone who thrives on pressure?
While recording their clean-up of the goblin village, a sudden idea entered Shye's mind.
'Hmm...I dislike using appraisal on my friends but...just this once should be okay. Yes...this is just...for research purposes!' Shye inwardly convinced himself. 'Appraisal!'

If they stuck to their initial plan of conducting a patient study of the entire village for seven days before taking action, it would likely take them around 15 days to complete the quest.
And even that can be considered quick.
Hence, their current completion time of four and a half days was truly astonishing.
The entire matter would probably stir yet another commotion in the guild.
Well, they traded completion time for massive risk, and as luck would have it, they emerged victorious, thus, they get to live
Recalling the skill books in his inventory, Shye glanced at Seira, who was humming a jolly tune.
"Hey, Seira. Come, I'll give you something."
"Hmm? What is it, boss?"
"Here."
Shye handed all four skill books over to Seira, whose confused expression suddenly turned into utter glee.
"Y-You're giving all of this to me for free, boss?!"
"No, you owe me 100,000 silver coins for those."
"W-W-What? Then I refuse! I don't have 100,000 silver coins..."
"Hahahaha! I'm just joking, stupid."
"Oh...then that means..."
"Yeah, all yours! You've done well this time and I, as the boss, thought I should be generous and reward you."
"Holy crap!! Thanks, boss!"
Arriving in front of Balkrow City's gates, Seira practically hopped and skipped like a child as she entered, making Shye chuckle in amusement.
His jolly mood didn't last for long though.
Recalling their experiences in the goblin village mission once again ignited the fury in his heart.
He wasn't angry anymore about the difficulty since they survived and succeeded, however, what infuriated him was the unjust rewards for such a high-difficulty quest.
Walking for around twenty minutes, the two of them finally arrived in front of their guild's branch headquarters.
"Well then, here's my adventurer license and guild token, boss. Do your thing. I'll be back after learning the skills you gave me."
"Sure, leave this to me."
Entering the branch headquarters with a rather mild scowl on his face, Shye proceeded towards the rewards desk.
