Chapter 8: job search in the guild

The first day at the boarding house was spent tidying up the room and making sure we had something we could use.

I didn't expect the room to get much sunshine, but instead there was a drying table where I hung my bedding lightly and patted the dust off.

I was expecting it, but it smelled a little musty and when I tapped it, a huge cloud of dust flew around.

In the box were some clothes and other things from a previous lodger, but he seemed to be a pretty big guy, and they were too big for me to wear.

In the box that was used as a bed, there were also leftovers from previous lodgers, and there were some obvious women's underwear inside, but again, I couldn't wear them.

No, I wouldn't wear it, because I don't have that kind of perverted taste.

In the end, I put a change of clothes in the cupboard that I got from the carriage that I had put in the shadow storage.

If I tell you that I found them out of the box, you'll be fine.

The light in the room was, what a magic tool for lighting.

Magic tool, here it is--!

The luminescent part is said to be a material taken out of a demon, and the magic formula for light is engraved on it, and it glows when placed on a magical stone.

When I shut off the room and turn on the light, it is indeed bright.

It's like a lantern that lights up with a magic stone battery.

However, even if the light is turned off, the dark attribute mage's privilege or because it looks normal, there is no gratitude of the magic tool.

As is to be expected of a restaurant, Amanda's food is delicious, and if you can eat this every day, you'll be able to see that the room is a bit small.

Her daughter, Meisa, is helping her, but Amanda seems to be managing the dining room all by herself, and her husband is nowhere to be found.

I think this kind of case is quite special for a reason, so I didn't mention it.

After dinner, I went back to my room, saying I was still tired and would rest early.

When I was cleaning up my room, I couldn't be alone because Meisa came to peek in a little bit, so it was hard to be alone.

For what it's worth, my new roommate must be curious about me.

I locked the door to my room and finally made time to be alone, so I will discuss the future with Reinhardt and the others.

However, the room is too small to have the three of us come out, so I'll have them wait in the shadow space as it is.

The first thing we need to talk about is this, right?

''Hey, he said this isn't the Riesenburg Kingdom...''

"Well, Mr. Kent, we're just as surprised as you are, sir. We had no idea this was going to happen...

Well even Reinhardt and his friends are surprised, but what do we do now?

The evil princess called Camilla from the example said that I should report to the barracks in the city beyond the forest, but it wouldn't make sense to report to the barracks in another country.

Rather, I knew I couldn't do it because I was sure it would be nasty if I got there, which meant I was going to get eaten by a demon and die.

In fact, the goblins ate me, and I came back to life, but just thinking about it makes me angry, you evil princess, I'll make you cry one day, I'll make you squeal on your bed.

''Master Kent, if this is a different country, then maybe the princess in question isn't aiming to usurp the throne.

Does that mean they might attack Volzard...?

"Yes, it's possible, after all, it was our own country.

I know...

Reinhardt and the others say that it's unlikely that they would normally attack beyond the Demon Forest where demons roam.

But they say that if they summoned a large number of their classmates, who were summoned in large numbers as soldiers and all could use magic, to break through the Demon Forest, it would not be impossible.

I've only walked from the stuffing station to the guild and then to the boarding house, but Kurtz-san, Otto-san, and Amanda have all been very nice to me, and I don't like the idea of this town being invaded.

What do you think of this town, from what Basten and Fred have seen?

'It's much more prosperous than it was when we were alive.

"There were no favelas, which is wonderful.

According to the two men who had scouted the city, Volzade seemed to be cleaner and better maintained than in the past, the security seemed to be better, and the people in the city had brighter expressions on their faces.

The training of the garrison was also snappy and well-trained.

The Volzard of our time was prosperous, but I got the impression that it was even more rundown, just like a city where adventurers wanted to get rich.

'So, does that mean that whoever is governing this city now is doing good politics?

"I can't say for sure yet, but it's possible that...

Hmmm........I don't know what to do.......

"Master Kent, I'm sure you're anxious, but there's no need to jump to conclusions, I wouldn't move that fast.

'Oh, really?'

"At Master Kent's age, no matter how much magic you have, it will take you three years to become a good soldier, or even two years at the earliest.

'Well that's true too.

I was a piece of shit from the time I was in Japan, but even for my classmates, there was no way they could be soldiers all of a sudden.

And it takes years to become a soldier who can fight a war with another country.

We, who grew up in Japan, can't kill each other, because we have lost our sense of peace.

If we have the time, we'll just have to get more information.

To begin with, we don't even know if that evil princess is really going to attack us, and we don't know anything about the city of Volzard since we arrived there just yesterday, so we don't have enough information to decide on my path.

''Fred, can you go and scout out to the Riesenburg Kingdom or something?''

"I'll take care of it ... if you want to move the shadows...

Well, that's the way it works...

With shadow-based movement, if you've been to a place you've been before, you can connect to the shadows there and move in an instant.

Even if you've never been to a place you've never been to, you can move if you follow the shadows in the area you can see, so you can move without appearing on the surface.

'But do you know where everyone is?'

"You're not far from the summons and you're fine...

Well, I'll need you to do some reconnaissance, Basten, continue to check on Volzard, and Reinhardt stays behind.

Now, Troop Leader, you take care of Master Kent.

I'll take care of it. Don't f*ck it up.

However, the skeleton lurking in the shadow is too cheat.

If you use the shadow space, you can come and go as you please, and you can see what's going on outside from within the shadows, so you can spy on people all you want.

I'm free to come and go in and out of the shadow space myself, so if need be, I should probably go to Riesenburg to do some reconnaissance.

"So, what will you do, Mr. Kent?

'I........I think I'll just look for a job in the guild for now, and see what's going on with Volzard while I work.......'

"In that case, Master Kent, you might want to get yourself a telephonic speaker.

'Well, if I'm the only one who speaks, you'll think I'm weird, so let's have a little practice.

Reinhardt and the others seem to have a magical link with me, and with just a little practice, I'm able to communicate my will without saying it aloud.

Yeah, now I don't have to be thought of as a weird guy who talks to himself a lot.

Basten checked it out for me and said that today is the 14th day of the ninth month in the new 74th year of the lunar calendar, the year 833, and the day of light.

It seems that this new year is after the independence from the Riesenburg Kingdom.

In our world, a year is twelve months or 386 days.

A month is 32 days, plus two days of New Year's Eve.

A week is eight days, the days of fire, the days of wind, the days of water, the days of earth, the days of darkness, the days of light, the days of stars, and the days of rest, and literally the days of rest are holidays.

There is one day off per week, but the two days of New Year's Eve, plus the first week of the first month of the first month, for a total of ten days, and the sixteen days of the second and third week of the eighth month, which is the hottest, are long holidays.

Now it's the ninth month, so the long vacation is a long time away.

The currency also changed from the old burg to the helt, but one burg is one helt and is still in circulation.

I guess it's because trade is still going on, even now.

It seems that the treasure recovered in the forest is about 1.7 million burg in gold and silver coins, and more than 2 million burg if you add up the magic stones and other items.

In addition, there are also antiques and carpets and so on........woohoo, I'm a rich man, it's all a gift.

Considering the cost of the boarding house, I don't need to worry for the time being even if I don't work, but I'm going to try to work in order to learn about the inner workings of Volzard.

I mean, I'll get a request in the guild, do the work, and get paid, this is the best part of the other world.

The next day, after eating breakfast, I immediately left the boarding house and came to the guild, but it's pretty crowded.

There's a crowd of people in front of the bulletin board where the request was pasted up, and it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to get close to it for a bit.

Whoa, there's some kind of struggle.

It's an overwhelming sight, but it's like a promised sight, and it's exciting.

"Mr. Kent, would you like me to go and see what kind of work you have in store for us?

'No, okay, I'll look for it when I've calmed down a bit and I'd like to see what kind of people are coming in and out.'

"I see, Mr. Kent...

The results of practicing telephonic speech last night are quickly coming in handy.

I gave Reinhardt a good reason, but I'd really like to enjoy the atmosphere a bit more.

When you look around you, there are people dressed as adventurers, merchants, and craftsmen.

And there are differences in what they see on the board.

I wonder if it differs by rank or by type of work.

When I was looking at the scene of the guild in the morning, I was called out to them.

'You don't look familiar, are you a newcomer?

Uh, oh, yes, I just got here the day before yesterday.

The person who approached me was a woman who looked a little older than me, with peach-colored hair bunched behind her head, slightly droopy eyes, and a hint of ho-hum feeling.

Oh my gosh, she has piquant, triangular ears and a thick, cat-like tail wagging around the butt of her loose-fitting pants, like cargo pants.

Ooh, cat ears here--!

She's about 160cm tall, but she has a well-balanced style that draws your attention to her.

What are you staring at? Ah-an?

I giggled at the dossy voice and looked up to see a snarky older brother glaring at me as he peeked over the woman's head.

This one has gray hair and triangular ears, after all, but the tail looks doggy in shape.

You don't have to come, I'm getting dog ears--!

He looks to be about six feet tall, also wearing cargo pants, knitted boots, and a cape that looks like a shortened poncho.

I'm already apologizing for my reflexes, aren't I?

''Uh, um ... well ... I'm sorry ...''

'Oh my god, why does Gillik get so hung up on other people... sorry, I'm Muel, what about you?'

Oh, it's Kent.

Wow, you're really rare with your dark hair. Where are you from?

The hair of the people I saw in the city was colorful and colorful, but I certainly might not have seen any black hair.

''Well, all the way from the west, I followed the merchant unit, but we were attacked by a demon in the Demon Forest...''

'Yeah! Is everything okay for a minute?

'I managed to ... but the others ... mmmm ...'

'Oh no... poor little thing... try to keep up...'

'Mugu........breath..........phew......'

'Yah ... that tickles me, I'm not supposed to talk in there ...'

"You bastard, you hug my sister Mu! Get off, Gulag!

"Whew... haha, haha, I thought I was going to die...

Do women in this world have a habit of hugging, even if it is Amanda?

Seriously, I thought I was going to choke.

'Gillik, you can't be rough with them!

No, sister Mu was the one who put his life in danger.

'What? Was it? Heh.....

Oooh, I didn't expect to see 'Tehepero' even though I came to another world, of course, I'll forgive you because you're cute, Muell-san.

It seems that Muell-san is a D-rank adventurer who aspires to be a medicine man, and in the belt wrapped around his waist are several leather bags as well as a large-swinging knife.

Gillik, who is uselessly huge like Funayama, is also a D-ranked adventurer and carries a sword on his back.

They both look like adventurers.

''Kent is a freshly registered F-ranked adventurer, then if it's this time of year, the picking of the livre plantation would be a good idea.

Well, it's a good fit for a little boy like you.

A reeble is a fruit that grows at this time of year and is used to make alcohol.

Okay, I'll be on my way. Thank you very much.

I was wondering what kind of work I should do, so I decided to try the farm work recommended by Mr. Muel.

When I looked at the bulletin board, I found a request from the Liebherr farm.

Perhaps the farm is large, and there seems to be a large number of applicants.

It does indeed say that there is no rank limit to accepting requests, and it seems that I, with an F rank, can receive orders.

When I peeled off a piece of paper and brought it to the reception desk, the beautiful older lady was not there, but the person who used to be my older sister was able to deal with me clerically and showed me the way to the farm.

I heard that the work of picking the reable will start at the end of the week, and the reward is 400 hectares a day, with a week's live-in and food.

In the meantime, I decided to head out on that leg to see what kind of place it is.
