We arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild in the neighboring town, Roland.
There, we accepted quests to collect Susuri grass and Mazella grass with the rewards being higher than usual.
(Last year, it was double… but this time, it’s quintuple?)
Also, usually at this time of day, the guild would be swarming with adventurers accepting quests. But today, I noticed that it’s way more deserted than usual, and for some reason, there’s a lot of injured adventurers lining up at the guild clinic.
The people lining up weren’t adventurers who took subjugation quests, but rather, those who wore green badges and whose occupation is foraging like me.

“Xgffc yjvufr? Rba gfv yjvufr?”
“Ktja’r kflgv, jgfc’a atfs obgjufgr?”
I looked up at Volte and nodded—earlier this year, a new rule had been introduced; adventurers will accept badges to be worn on their sleeves, according to the quests they received. Red for subjugation quests, while green for foraging. These badges would be issued by the receptionist upon accepting said quests.

Only F-rank, up to D-rank adventurers were targeted. They were often used as decoys to attract monsters.
They were whisked away, suffered injuries like broken bones, yet weren’t treated; instead they were paid less… They were treated like they were disposable. Once Roosevelt learned of this, they created this badge-assigning system as a countermeasure.
Those who violate the rules will be demoted to F-rank, and will be fined a large amount of money. Lute and I accepted a gathering quest, so we put on green badges.
When we accepted this gathering quest, the receptionist advised us to not go deep into Singaria Forest. –Apparently, there had been reports of a large boar monster running rampant.
“I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, but just in case, please pick up two potions for each party member at the clinic. Here are the exchange tickets.”
–The receptionist said, so we picked up 4 potions there.
Also, this morning—there was a subjugation party made up of B+ rank adventurers, and they asked us to “Try not to get caught up in the battle.” We also got a map of Singaria Forest marked.
“Usually, these places would have Nyatches, Momonfus, and little boar monsters… For a large boar monster to appear there, it’s disturbing. Let’s quickly finish our quest and go home.”
“Aah, Susuri and Mazela grass grow near the forest entrance, so we wouldn’t need to go deeper, but… Taya, even if you find a monster, don’t attack—or better yet, please don’t leave my side.”
“Alright. I mean, even if I fight a monster, I can’t win anyways.”
