Scum-lesse Oblige, I Have Been Reincarnated as a Scum Villain in an 18+ Game World, and I Absolutely Want to Grasp the Mob Life with the Power of My Knowledge of the Original Story

The Hunter and The Hunted

Geese’s POV

“…this is really an easy job.”

I smile as I says so

The adventurer, Geese, is standing in front of the entrance to a certain building.

—’adventurer’

That is the general term for those who joins the adventurer’s guild and carry out job requests.

The profession of an adventurer encompasses a wide range of jobs.

Hunting monsters, providing protection for important individuals, or even training nobles’ knights.

Becoming an adventurer has no restrictions based on social status.

Villagers, criminals, nobles—anyone can become an adventurer.

However, although becoming an adventurer is relatively easy, not everyone can make a living as an adventurer.

What is required to be an adventurer is very simple.

Just one thing—pure ‘strength’.

No matter how high your noble status may be, no matter how much people respect you, those who lack of ‘strength’ won’t be able to live as adventurers.

On the contrary, the door is open to anyone as long as they have the ‘strength’ to become an adventurer.

I smile faintly.

It might not be an official request, but I definitely won’t find jobs this easy in the adventurer’s guild.

Adventurers’ ranks are quite straightforward.

F-rank adventurers are just considered as beginners. C-rank adventurers are those who have taken quite some number of jobs, so they are quite reliable. B-rank adventurers will be able to find a job request no matter where they go, and finally A-rank adventurers are those whose name is known throughout the kingdom.

I’m a C-rank adventurer myself, but in terms of strength and skills, I probably fall to the lower end of C-rank adventurers.

Well, considering my age, it’s not bad, but it’s not great either.

Of course, compared to regular people, I’m much stronger than them.

If I aim for a good life, I can just take on job requests seriously at the guild and train the young adventurers there, by doing so, I should be able to comfortably make a living out of it.

However, I’m not satisfied with just that.

I want more.

That being said, it would be useless for me to raise my rank any further.

I worked really hard and made relentless efforts to reach C-rank.

Adventurers’ ranks are absolute, and there is a huge difference in power and experience between each rank.

After giving up on seriously raising my rank, I start to accept more lucrative requests.

I started visiting several underground guilds that offer such requests.

In other words, I begin to look for shady jobs which are often offered by these underground guilds.

It’s clearly much easier than defeating monsters, and above all, this type of jobs allows me to show off my ‘strength’.

“Kukuku…”

Tonight’s job is no exception.

A conference is being held in Lyon, and many nobles has gathered in the town.

For tonight’s job, I am assigned to watch over a so-called secret club.

To be precise, it’s a playground for the sons of high-ranking nobles.

It’s truly a terrible place.

One of the kids even refused to drink the liquor served saying those are ‘cheap liquors’ and asked for water instead.

Not only that, he even shamelessly makes the beautiful maid at his side feed him while saying ‘Ahh~’ all the time.

They really are just foolish noble brats.

They genuinely believe that they are special and better than anyone else.

Unfortunately, you guys are being played here! This is our territory…!

I’m struggling to hold back my laughter.

These kids don’t realize that they are surrounded by hunters.

“…hmm?”

I gaze down the hallway.

Someone is approaching.

I squint my eyes, and see a kid and a maid walking through the hallway.

“That’s the kid from the Randall Ducal Family, right?”

The one who appears before me is none other than the son of the Randall Duke, Ultos.

I’ve heard rumors saying that boy’s parents are actually good lords, however, their son is truly helpless.

He is the kid who makes his maid constantly feed him while saying ‘Ahh~’ and called fine liquor ‘cheap stuff’.

He is the biggest fool among all of them.

Then, not long after, the boy comes back to the hallway with the maid again.

Again?

For some reason, this he keeps coming back to the hallway with the maid, and each time, the soldiers would reprimand him about it

“The kid who can’t even go to the bathroom alone, hahahaha.”

The soldiers mockingly said so behind his back.

But…

He’s such a nuisance.

Is the sleeping medicine not working?

My employer has told me the plan in detail.

First, we will drug these foolish brats here. Then, the next step is to cause a big commotion in the outskirts of Lyon.

Presumably, the situation at the soiree is similar.

Furthermore, my client apparently intends to expose the antics of these foolish noble brats to the public in the near future.

Certainly, the fact that the sons of the nobles who are supposed take an initiative when something happens are actually behaving irresponsibly, that alone is more than enough to start a public outrage.

If this plan succeeds, I will get a great amount of money from my client.

I can’t help but to laugh just thinking about it.

I can’t let this brat get in my way, I should get rid of him.

“Kukukuku…young master, what brings you here so late at night?”

I crack my knuckles and grin maliciously while saying so.

Then, in a split second, I quickly jump on the young lord.

“I won’t let an arrogant brat like you interfere with our plan!!!”

He must think that he is special, doesn’t he?

I wonder what kind of terrified expression will he have on his face.

—what!?

That’s impossible.

To my surprise, there is no sign of fear in his eyes at all.
