While all was talking Kelp disappeared a while, Kelp was a Bishamon, a cursed samurai. Kelp was a serious samurai, so when all talking he went to hunt some monsters. They already decided to be disguised as monster hunter and then enter into human territories. Kiddo would act as wise elder and other 3 as warrior, Sam would be their young master who came here to see human cities.
When kelp was searching monsters for hunt he saw a bunch of monsters being ready for attack on human city of border so kelp just gone there to hunt them. He killed them in instant and picked up weakest looking 3 monsters so they can enter into human border city.
When cames back with 3 monsters which he hunted, he saw frowning Aachariya and asked.
Kelp : "Is there any problem?"
Aachariya : "What did you hunt? And where did you even found them?"
Kelp : "You guy were busy talking with Young Master so went ahead to hunt some, when I was searching I saw bunch of low level monsters trying to attack on border town so I thought they will work alright. They died in instant, but for sake of our smooth journey I picked weakest guys there."
Aachariya's frown increasing but he still asked.
Aachariya : "Do you know what kind of monsters they are?"
Kelp : "Who cares? They are easy as fcuk. I was swinging my sword as an amateur and still they died."
Now Aachariya was really angry, if it was not matter of young master Aachariya would be emotionless as an assassin but right now Kelp is making mistakes like an idiot. So Aachariya calm down himself immediately and said.
Aachariya : "These are Moon Lizards, powerful enough to even bring down fully equipped group of B-Class Mercenaries. Are you sure you want to use them?"
Kelp : "Humans are that weak?"
Aachariya : "Brother you are a Bishamon, Do you really think that something like that can come into corner of eyes? Brother we are entering into human cities then later into empire Teichnoko, can you tone down to weak human standard? Please."
Kelp : "What wrong with these specimen I killed?"
Aachariya : "Brother, the most frail and weak looking Moon Lizard is wizard in their ranks and this lizard alone can take on 3 A-Class mercenaries. And those two are magic warrior Powerful enough to go toe to toe against an A-Class mercenary alone. Are you sure as our persona we can take down these three?"
Kelp : "So what should I do?"
Aachariya : "Why don't you turn yourself into a bodyguard who don't talk?"
Kelp : "Sure, no problem."
Aachariya sign and thought that he at least dealt with one problem now let look at other problem. Then Aachariya went to jungle to hunt a monster so they can represent this monster.
What problem with those moon lizards was that that they stand and look like lizardmen but they were just white as a moon. They are incredible fighters, and when someone says that they can wipe out whole group of B-Class mercenaries that's not a lie because that's they minimum can do. Once a single moon lizard end-up destroying whole B-Class mercenaries group alone. Even warrior level moon lizards are nightmare to mercenaries so the one brought back was kelp was over the top. If they took three moon lizards in border town then they would have attracted more and more attention until it's become unbearable. That move may have exposed them so best of interest for them is just go in and hunt a low level trash.
Kelp was standing near Sam as statue, TxT Boy was digging sand for some reason and Kiddo was sitting on nearby tree. Kelp was playing well in his character of silent bodyguard; TxT Boy was looking for worm in earth, for some reason some demons have really keen interest in worm. Kiddo was just waiting for Aachariya. Kiddo was not so familiar with Sam, doesn't want to go near weirdo like TxT Boy and there is no way he can talk to a statue.
Aachariya came back with Hunchback Crab Monster. Hunchback Crab Monsters were C-tier Monsters, they are slow and dumb as F-tier but what makes them so powerful is that they had really hard shell that even a B-tier attack cannot breakthrough and pincer attack can break any C-tier shield. So Aachariya decided to take these guys back as hunted monsters.
The Border town they decided to enter though known as Yomtim. All kind of monster are traded here until monster specially requested from somewhere else or SSS-tier monster, because SSS-tier monster only traded by royal family and all royal family come here to an auction to take that SSS-tier body. In market they sell B-tier to F-tier monster parts, as food or item made from those bodies like shield made of Hunchback Crab Monster's back or Sword Lily's spike in a club. Sometimes we can see a whole body of monster in market but those are rare. Above B-tier are eligible to enter into auction, A-tier, G-tier, Z-tier, S-tier, SS-tier, SSS-tier and X-tier.
A-tier is normal above B-tier monsters. G-tier monsters are special to sell it you have caught it alive, a great usable monster to use in night activities. Z-tier monster also catch alive for them being usable in assassination department. S-tier, SS-tier and SSS-tier are above A-tier monsters they are normal monster just more powerful than previous tier monster. The X-tier monster is just impossible to catch no matter what like any royal monster do, but can anyone touch them?
There was a filter rays on gate of town Yomtim, if any monster or demon go through it feels weak to be caught but to the surprise of Sam, he was doing fine. Aachariya went to front to process there entrance.
On entering booth.
Worker looked at Aachariya emotionlessly.
Worker 1 : "What is the purpose of entering town?"
Aachariya : "Our young master wants to see town and cities so we came. We need money to stay for while in town and cities, so we brought some monster with us some is alive while others are dead."
Worker 1 : "Which monster you brought?"
Aachariya : "Hunchback Crab Monster, 20 alive and 25 dead."
Worker 1 : "What kind of price you want for this monster?"
Aachariya : "We live outside of town so I don't know the price but we can roam the town before end-up selling them."
While writing worker stopped for quarter-of-second but that caught in Aachariya's eyes. Aachariya was following every single one of movement of worker so they don't get fooled in new place.
Worker 1 : "So no selling price?"
Aachariya : "As I said I have no idea of price, how can I put a price tag on it."
Aachariya said those word with pressure if not they would be just some push-over but worker have earn some money for sure as all workers do everyday, to find a way to scam people who do not know rules.
Worker 1 : "You cannot bring monster inside town."
Aachariya : "What do you want then?"
Aachariya started to frown.
Worker 1 : "Either sell them here or pay storage fee to store them for definite time."
Aachariya : "Or we can just throw them if we don't. Right?"
Aachariya thrown sarcasm as they even not allowed to enter into town with their own bounty.
Worker 1 : "We never said that."
Aachariya : "But your meaning was just like that."
Worker 1 : "Do not blame us for being a hick, if you don't know the price that's not our fault."
Aachariya : "Like you don't know how to take pocket money from hicks like us?"
Aachariya thrown bait, if this worker is an idiot but he cannot detect then he will sure say something wrong.
Worker 1 : "I am not that fallen?"
And Worker caught in bait.
Aachariya : "But you are."
Before Aachariya start reeling fish gotten help of another fish.
Worker 2 : "Hey, this is the gate of border town if you cannot afford to enter into town then go back to your home. Why did you even come here for? And Wait a minute.."
Worker 2 looked behind and shouted.
Worker 2 : "Troublemaker is here.
Aachariya : "What do mean by troublemaker, your friend here not letting me enter and now you are calling soldiers for us being troublemaker?"
Worker 2 looked at Aachariya and said.
Worker 2 : "Whatever happened is nothing to do with me when they ask what happened to you just give the answer and they will decided what to do?"
Aachariya : "But the fault what your guy, why I am being caught?"
Worker 2 now looked annoyed and said.
Worker 2 : "There is not many worker here on gate and half us are overworking so we cannot spare people to be caught."
Aachariya fought back.
Aachariya : "So you decided to that we are the one who made trouble. Huh?"
Worker 2 : "Why would anyone of use make trouble anyway?"
Aachariya : "Of course for small changes. If you can make little extra money then why you won't?"
Worker 2 : "We are not like you."
Aachariya : "From what I can see that you are as you are defending a culprit but punishing an innocent.
Worker 2 : "Look here…"
Before worker 2 can continue soldiers came and arrested Aachariya and everyone else with him.
