When they arrived at the village chief's place, the chief greeted them enthusiastically.

Village Chief: Fascinating! This is the first time in history that someone has slain three Bandersnatches. You say it was only slightly difficult for you gentlemen?

Kazuma hesitated.

Kazuma: Uh... yeah, it was slightly difficult. All thanks to our strategy and preparation, it made this quest easier.

The village chief was impressed.

Village Chief: You adventurers are remarkable. Two against three? No adventurers would ever survive that. Here's your reward.

Saborrido and Kazuma were surprised beneath their battle masks as they received a large sum of money. Kazuma exclaimed.

Kazuma: Oohhh! This is enough for us to do whatever we want!

Saborrido: Or enough for us to buy a lot of food to prevent starvation.

Village Chief: And I heard you handled the horde of monsters from devouring the crops. The farmers are very grateful. They say you used a powerful magic sword they've never seen before. It sliced through adamantite shells like they were nothing and eliminated a swarm of giant wasps. It would take many adventurers to handle such a task. What are your names? I didn't ask before.

Kazuma: Alright, old man, my name is Skyfire.

Saborrido: And my name is Gundown.

Kazuma: We come from faraway lands, and we came here to become adventurers. All we want is to explore the world.

Village Chief: I see. Well, I hope you two have a great adventure, Skyfire and Gundown. Very odd names, but they're fine.

Kazuma: Thank you, my good man. Now our work is done. Time to head home.

Saborrido: Yeah, and I noticed construction workers building something big. It seems you're establishing an adventurer guild in this village.

Village Chief: Indeed, thanks to your donation, the adventurer guild in this village will be luxurious.

Saborrido: We'll see you later, Chief. When we get back, I expect the guild to be completely luxurious.

They waved goodbye to the village chief and started their journey back to Axel.

Kazuma: Alright, how much money did we earn?

Saborrido: Due to a higher bounty, we earned half a billion eris.

Kazuma: That's five hundred million eris! Haha! As soon as we get back to Axel, I'll lead you to a heavenly place.

Saborrido: Whatever you say, leader.

...

The two boys walked back to Axel. After a long walk, they saw the walls of Axel in the distance.

Kazuma: Thank God we're here. Let's head to the guild and fill our empty stomachs.

Saborrido: Hold on, Kazuma. We need to change our appearance first. We're very foreign since we left Axel, and the girls don't know anything about us. We can't enter Axel just like this. Fortunately, I built a secret entrance to our mansion.

Kazuma: Wait, you built a secret passage to the mansion?

Saborrido: Yeah, just in case things go south.

Kazuma: You're full of surprises, Saborrido.

Kazuma followed Saborrido as they headed to the top of a hill, from which they could see Axel in a far distance.
