What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy? Chapter 100 The Same Client Again

After promising Lisa that I would still co back to visit her from ti to ti, I went back ho after collecting my rewards from The Guild.

"Ara, ara? Welco ho my little one! How was your quest?"

"It was ok. I got an escort quest for an interesting alchemist today and she taught alchemy in return."

"Ara, ara? How nice~ What's her na?"

"Lisa. She's the owner of the alchemy store at the second level of the rchant's district called 'Lisa's Pot Shop'."

"Lisa was it? What a coincidence~ I've t her grandmother before. How is she now?"

I'm not even surprised that she knows about her.

"She seems to be doing fine, though she's quite lonely I guess?"

Mother nodded, "Ufufufu~ Her family circumstances are a little special~ Did she tell you about it?"

"Eh? I guess? She said she was raised by her grandma while her parents are busy with the farm, so she learned alchemy from her grandma too."

"Ara? There's actually more to it than that but I suppose that's the main gist of it~ Will you be going back to see her?"

I thought about it for a mont, "I suppose? She's fun I guess."

At least she said she wouldn't propose to anymore until I at least co of age, though that was ironic considering I already got proposed to by a pair of Amraps sisters.

Well… I doubt I would et her that often anyway and I do wonder what Odeta and Ardi have been up to these past few years?

"Ufufufu~ Just six more days before you can start school now! Ahhhh~ My dearest child will finally start attending school! Mama can't wait to see you put on your uniform!"

"It's just a blazer, Mommy… It's not that special."

"Ara, ara? But it is to Mama! Ufufufu~"

Really? I an… It's basically just a jacket that I will wear over my usual dress…

I suppose this is a mother kind of thing? Though I guess I have to admit I'm a little excited about it too.

There's still a week left anyway so let's just take it easy for now.

The next morning, I got dressed up in my armour again and headed out to the sa Guild branch to look for more quests to do.

This ti, I wouldn't mind taking a quest that may take a little longer as long as the pay was good.

Looking through the board, I found a rather peculiar E ranked quest.

This one was also an escort quest but it involved bringing soone close to a goblin village of all things and the reward is only twenty Creas?

The last goblin subjugation quest gave ten tis that amount though?

Oh, I guess because killing the goblins on this quest is not necessary and the client probably is a scout or soone wanting to observe them or sothing, so this reward was more of a risk fee than subjugation fee.

Oh well, it should be simple enough. Follow them there, then follow them back, should be done within a day or two at most.

In case the goblins attack, I could just wipe them out like how I did with the previous subjugation quest anyway, which ans materials and Mana crystals for to sell!

Yep, let's just do this one!

"Ehehehe~ Doesn't Miss Aster think this is a little like fate?"

"Why do you even need to go there, Miss Lisa?" I sighed, walking beside the alchemist who was also my client for today.

"I'm glad you asked! There's this really useful mushroom that is a key ingredient in making Interdiate healing potions found nearby that village. I'm not exactly looking to subjugate that village so I just need soone to accompany there!"

"Unnn… Then why not just have the village subjugated? Then you can co here without an escort."

Lisa giggled, "Ehehe~ It's not like it's that close to the goblin village in the first place so the dangers of eting one is relatively low. Besides, the goblin village actually helps a little since the goblins would also fight against the other beasts and monsters in the area which makes it safer overall than if they weren't there. That's why you don't see a quest that asks for its subjugation back at The Guild."

I tilted my head at her, "But wouldn't the number of goblins increase over ti and they beco a threat eventually?"

"That's when a quest would be posted to get rid of them! Although nothing is stopping a rcenary group from going there and subjugating them by themselves either. It's interesting to know that the ecosystem is actually quite resilient! If the goblins are gone, then sothing else will just take their place eventually, like Hell Wolves for example!"

"Huh… You seem to be really knowledgeable about this?"

"Ehehehe~ Grandma taught a lot when I was younger! She used to be an Adventurer so she visited a lot of places in the past! If Miss Aster is interested, I can show you her notes too! She's been to many places including the Frostiminir Kingdom, you know?"

"I wouldn't mind that, but I think we should pay attention to our surroundings for now," I pointed out.

Yeah, considering we are currently inside a forest filled with monsters, perhaps we should be paying more attention to our surroundings instead of having a casual conversation.

Truthfully, I already had a few of my summons following us so we should be safe but you can never be too sure.

"Ehehe~ Sorry! I just get excited when I'm with you Miss Aster~ Anyway, the cave where the mushrooms grow is just up ahead!"

I looked at where she was pointing and sure enough, there was a large cave just up ahead.

The only problem was that there was a group of Wrunch guarding the entrance and they did not look like they were there to sightsee.

"Err… Does Miss Lisa know them?" I asked.

She shook her head, "Erm… I'm afraid not… The last ti I ca here, they were most definitely not present…"

"So… Bandits?" I guessed.

"Or maybe they're the escort for another alchemist after the sa mushrooms I am?"

Well… At least she's optimistic about it, but I suppose that is possible.

I turned to her, "What do you suggest we do then?"

"Ehehe~ Usually it's the escort doing the suggestions, Miss Aster~ Since if fighting is inevitable, it would be you who is risking your life after all~"

What a nice system they have here, though I wonder what would happen to the client if the escorts get themselves involved in a situation they can't get out of?

"Unn… But I'm still new though… This is only my second escort quest."

Lisa giggled, "Don't worry! I'll support you in whatever you decide Miss Aster!"

"At least tell if I'm making a mistake…"

"Ehehehe~ I can do that too!"

I thought for a while and nodded, "I suppose I can go talk to them and see what they want, maybe they are friendly?"

"Ohh~ Let's go then!"

"Eh? No, no, you stay here where it's safer."

"Ehhhhh?! You can't expect to see my future partner go into danger while I stay behind and watch right? I won't stand it! Let go with you, Miss Aster!"

"But… As you said, it might be dangerous…"

"That's why I will go with you! Don't worry, Miss Aster! I do have my own way of defending myself!"

She took out a dagger from her waist and showed it to proudly.

I was about to tell her that a small dagger wouldn't do any good until a screen popped up in front of .

[Interdiate Poison Steel Dagger - A steel dagger coated with Interdiate rank poison capable of incapacitating a Magridar.]

…

Ok… I take that back… This weapon can even incapacitate a giant so a Wrunch would definitely stand no chance against it… Though the question would be if she could land a hit though.

Still, at least I know she's not completely helpless.

I reluctantly agreed and we both stepped out into the clearing and gained the attention of the two Wrunches guarding the cave entrance.

"Woah there! What are you doing here?" One of them demanded.

"We're here to gather alchemical ingredients in that cave over there," I explained, watching them warily. "I don't suppose you are also escorting soone who is doing the sa?"

The two of them looked at each other for a mont before turning back to smile at .

"Yeah, we are. Our client is inside and we're just out here to make sure no monster cos in. You can go inside if you wish."

Lisa giggled, "Really?! That's a big help! Let's go in, Miss Aster!"

She pranced ahead and I followed behind her, passing between the two Wrunch guards who had stepped aside to let us through.

The mont I went past them, however, I imdiately turned around and blocked the elbow strike the one on my left had thrown at .

He was shocked by my reaction but a punch straight to his gut had him doubled over on the floor and groaning in pain.

The other one tried to shout for help but my leg had kicked out before he could and my heeled boots smashed against his temple and knocked him out instantly.

The first Wrunch tried to get up but a knee strike to his chin also knocked him out cold on the ground.

Yeah… Too bad for them, [Screen] had already shown that their titles were "mber of Jaw Bandits" so I knew they were up to no good.

Now that just brings the question of whether this should turn to a bandit subjugation?
