"So what you are telling me is that you already cleared out the entire forest? And that there are no longer any goblins? Within one day of you giving us this contract?" The master of the Commercial Guild asked Sam.

"Correct, you can get your men to check if you want to." Sam said.

"No need... However, just where did this S-ranked party even come from? And how did you mobilize them so quickly? Last time I checked, adventurers like being free and wouldn't listen to orders that easily." The master of the Commercial Guild asked him.

"They didn't really listen to the order. They were just bored so they wanted to kill them, that's basically it." Sam said as he looked at the master of the Commercial Guild.

"People with such abilities nowadays... There are so many cowards or those that don't want to help at all... They are so selfish and only care about themselves... This world is too disordered." The master of the Commercial Guild said as he sighed.

"That's how the world works. Nothing is ever easy. People are too complicated to understand sometimes. So you have to put it into your own hands most of the time." Sam said as he looked at the master of the Commercial Guild.

"It is rightfully true. Just like you said, we humans are the most difficult to understand. Even more than demons and monsters themselves." The master of the Commercial Guild said as he held his head.

"Anyway, don't forget about what was written in the contract alright? We technically just saved your city right there and then. You could've lost your lives trying to defend the city." Sam said as he got up to leave.

"No worries, I won't go back on the contract. We'll have to thank you all for removing the goblins from the forest." The master of the Commercial Guild said as he got up to walk Sam out.

"By the way, you can have the corpses of the goblins. Maybe you could sell them somewhere to help your city flourish more." Sam said.

"Thank you then. Don't mind if we do take those goblins and sell them." The master of the Commerce Guild said as he watched Sam leave the Commercial Guild.

After Sam disappeared from his sight did the master of the Commercial Guild go back to his office.

"Ha... Flourish from selling goblins? That's a miracle if it were to happen... Goblins don't really have anything good to sell... If it was an orc, on the other hand, their bones and skin would be good to craft some weapons and sell. That would help us flourish a bit more... Goblins are just too useless to sell..." The master of the Commercial Guild said as he laid on his couch not wanting to do anything for the rest of the day.

"Well... Let's just sell those goblin corpses anyway... We'll still be able to gain a bit if there are a lot of goblins." The master of the Commercial Guild said as he organized a team to be dispatched to collect all the corpses.

...

"So how was it Sam?" Maria asked him when he came back.

"Everything went according to plan. Our kingdom will be receiving the materials from the forest now. The master of the Commercial Guild doesn't seem to be the type of person that goes back on his words anyway. So, we should be alright without any threats." Sam said as he looked at them.

"That's perfect then. What should we do for the 6 days until the people we need to escort are here?" Sylvie asked them.

"Maybe we should spar each other in the forest? That's honestly the only thing I can think of. Unless you still want to explore the city more." Benji said as he looked at her.

"That's the only thing I can think of too... Since this place isn't really a tourist attraction place due to the goblins that were here recently. The only people coming here are merchants who plan on selling things for a high price with the excuse of there being too many goblins thus it's dangerous." Ariana said as she looked at them.

"Alright then. So who wants to spar me for the first day?" Sylvie asked them with a smile on her face.

"I still want to go shopping a bit." Ariana said immediately.

"I have to go pray at the church." Maria said after her.

"There are a lot of books at the library I have yet to read." Chad said.

"I still have 3 more dojos to challenge." Benji said.

"Me and Elise are going to explore the city a bit." Lance said after them.

"I- I have to go do something tomorrow too." Sam said as he looked at her in fear.

"What else could you possibly be doing? You just finished everything you needed to do. Which was go talk to the Commercial Guild master. You seem to have become much bigger. Maybe that will help you go against me, yes?" Sylvie asked him.

"I want to try a bit more food! Maybe if I eat more I'll get bigger so I can fight you later! I am sorry Sylvie, but we are all busy tomorrow... Maybe next time?" Sam said as he looked at her.

"Oh don't worry, I'll try to think of a new training regiment for you all when we get back." Sylvie said as she gave them all a chilly grin.

'Sam why'd you say that! You've killed us all! How will you ever pay us back?' The group screamed internally as they looked at him.

'I am so sorry!!!' Sam cried internally as well as he could feel the glares that were shooting at his back from his own friends.

'However I don't want to die alone okay! You all should suffer with me as well!' Sam thought as it was a reasonable decision.

When they get back would they have to suffer a different set of punishment as well... One from Sylvie, one from Maal. They were in for a tough ride this life.
