Casey’s POV
In a tavern.
"Hey, do you guys want a scouting mission? It's not bad, look, the reward is 7 silver coins for one party." (Said one of my party’s friend)
“No, our party has been hired for an escort mission. We have to keep on standby, just in case the merchant wants to leave early. We can be ready to go." (Casey)
"How about a herb gathering mission?" (Said one of my other party’s friend)
"What is the name of the plant they want to find them?" (Casey)
"Plants to treat wounds. Yarrow, Goldenrod & Calendula." Answer him.
“Finding these plants is quite difficult now, and the rewards are too little. Rejected. " (Casey)
"Hey, do you guys want to find additional income?" There was someone who suddenly approached our table. I quickly turned my attention to that person.
"..." And I found a man, he smiled after our eyes met.
"Oh, Mogg!" (Casey)
"Hey, man! Where's your party? " (Said one of my party’s friend, immediately join the conversation too)
“At the inn. They are exhausted. I'm here alone. " (Mogg)
"Oh, yeah. Then let's quickly join here. Sit-downs, sit-downs." Invite me. "Hey, hurry up and find an empty seat for him," I told one of my party’s, he quickly found an empty seat at the nearest table.
"Sir! One Itria wine, please! " I shouted to the tavern keeper.
"Coming!"
"Hey, hey. Is that all right? That wine is twice as expensive as Rijeka. " (Mogg)
"Relax, man. I have more cash today. My treat. " (Casey)
"Wohoh! Is that true? Where do you get the money? " (Mogg)
"Looting the bandits," I said dryly.
"Huh?" (Mogg)
"Here, here." One of my party’s who had taken the empty seat from the other table earlier then passed it to Mogg.
"... Oh, thank you." Mogg who was still processing my statement earlier, then quickly returned to his senses and thanked my friend, and sat down on the chair.
"How are you?" (Casey)
"Good. My finances are also good. And that's why I also want to offer you this job. I don't really need money right now. " (Mogg)
"Oh, what is it?" (Casey)
“…” Mogg then looked to the right and to the left, checking the situation.
"Hey, this isn't illegal, is it? I don't want to accept- ”(Casey)
Realized I was starting to feel suspicious. Mogg quickly cut me off.
"No, no. It's not that problem." Explained Mogg,
“I just don't want this job to be known by many people.” Mogg continued. “This job is only a few people know and it was not issued by the Guild-” (Mogg)
I immediately cut. "Well, then I don't want to accept. It must be illegal. Rejected. " (Casey)
"Calm down. Finish me talking first. Listen up. In this town now, there is a noble daughter who is losing her belongings. She was desperately looking for that unknown item, but she did not report it to the authorities or ask to find it by placing a parchment request in the Adventure Guild. Do you understand what I mean? " (Mogg)
"Are you sure this item she's looking for is very valuable? Noble daughter usually has a lot of stuff. From items that are not of much use to strange collectibles because of the influence of her parents. Well, it's a girl. Maybe it's a doll, a gold ring, a gold necklace, or pendant- "(Casey)
“Really, Casey? Who cares about that? " (Mogg)
“Listen, Casey. She's from a rich family, but you know what? She had been looking for that unknown item from this morning till this afternoon like a beggar! She is losing her belongings and I'm sure the item she lost is not normal, otherwise, she will look for it in the normal way and ask everyone for help. " (Mogg)
“Just think carefully, why doesn't she want to report it to the authorities that she's missing something? What she is looking for must be both very valuable and very confidential! ” (Mogg)
