CHAPTER 9 – THE FIRST JOB


When I wake up in the morning, Allen and Elena were already up . They are clinging on both of my sides staring at my face fixedly .

This has become a habit since our first camping in the forest .

「…… Morning」

「「……Mor… ning…」」

「!!」

They greeted me!! Allen and Elena spoke!

What adorable voices!

I who was greatly impressed hugged the two children reflectively .

◇ ◇ ◇

After having my fill of embracing the two, I finished preparations and we went to the guild .

It’s full of people, unlike yesterday . I go towards the low-rank Request Board while Allen and Elena are tightly sticking to me in order to not get separated .

A low-rank male and female adventurers around my age are gazing at the board .

A great number of Requests are closely packed together on the board .

There are three main types of Requests .

Gathering Request――A gathering job of a specific herbs or monster material .

Subjugation Request――A job to defeat a designated monster . After defeating it, a part of its body is necessary as a subjugation proof .


Escort Request――A job to escort a person/item from a town to a town or protect them in a specific location .

There are little to nothing Escort Requests for low-rankers . So I will be choosing between gathering and subjugation .

N~ what should I pick…… Would taking a gathering herbs request at first be better? With that, Allen and Elena can go with me…

Thinking that, I pick one of the Requests and stand in the queue at the counter .

「The next person」

「Thank you」

My turn finally came .

The receptionist behind the counter is the same that took care of us yesterday, Luna-san .

「Ara, Takumi-san . Good morning . A Request?」

「Good morning . This is the Request, please」

「Excuse me…… A gathering of Lilie Grass, I see . Your Guild Card, please」

I hand the Request I picked to Luna-san after light greetings .

Luna-san confirmed the contents of the Request, received my Guild Card and quickly operated the crystal .

「10 Lilie Grasses is considered a batch so please be careful . The time limit is until three days later」

Luna-san explains the important points of the Request .

「Thank you very much」

While saying my thanks, I received back my Guild Card and we leave the Guild .

We go towards the south gate at once .

There is a small forest in the south of Shirin . There are no monsters aside from E, F Rank slimes, and wolves . It’s a relatively safe area so it’s just the right place for newcomers and unskilled adventurers .

「Allen, Elena . This is the Lilie Grass」

After getting to the forest, I immediately find the Lilie Grass and show it to children . It has a dark green stalk with several jagged maple-like leaves .

The Lilie roots aren’t necessary so I cut the stalk and pick it up without the roots .

「If you find it, gather it like this . Understood?」

After Allen and Elena nod, they start searching the area for Lilie Grass at once .

They found it immediately . They timidly hold it in their tiny hands and trot over to me .

They uneasily look at me while holding out the Lilie Grass to me .

「It’s all right, this is the one . You did great~」

I pat the two children’s heads and receive the Lilie Grass while praising them .

Happy for being praised, kya, kya they make a merry and run off looking for another Lilie Grass .

I’m glad . It seems that their emotions and voices are returning little by little .

I feel relieved that they are growing in the right direction .

Now then, I should also start looking around~

I found the plant right after I began the search .

Oh, Cren Grass and Maryoku Grass are also there . There was a request for that too if I’m not mistaken . Let’s gather that too . Even if the Request won’t be there anymore, I can just store it in the《Infinite Storage》for the time being .


Thinking that, I gather one plant after another .

Along the way, Allen and Elena learned the characteristics of the various plants I was picking and also started looking for them .

Our gathering in the forest continues until the noon and the prepared jute bag was full of gathered herbs .

We gathered a sufficient amount .

「Allen, Elena . Let’s stop for today」

When I call the two, they trot over to me with hands full of herbs .

「You both gathered so much~ Amazing~」

When I praise them after receiving the plants, the two children make joyful expressions .

So cute~ The two laughed a lot today .

「Yosh, let’s return to town after eating a meal」

We left the forest, sat in the middle of a meadow with a great scenery, and returned to the town after eating the food I bought at the stall in the town .

◇ ◇ ◇

When we return to the Guild, I go straight to the Request Board and look for Requests with other herbs .

Umm… Cren Grass, Maryoku Grass, oh, Fenze Grass is also there .


I pick the Requests after comparing the gathered plants with the Requests . I have many plants that are insufficient numbers so I decide to store them in《Infinite Storage》and go to the counter .

「Welcome back」

The one who greeted me at the counter was Luna-san again .

「We have returned . These Requests in addition to the Request we have received this morning」

「I will confirm . Put the materials in this basket please」

After exchanging greetings, I put the Guild Card together with the new Requests on the counter . Luna-san received them and took out a basket .

I place the herbs into that basket . Because all kinds of herbs were in the 10 Requests I picked, I line them up while counting .

「… Y, you have quite a lot . It’s quite difficult to gather this much in half a day…」

「It’s because the children did their best」

The herbs turned into a heap because the basket is unexpectedly small .

Luna-san was a slightly surprised at the amount of herbs I took out, but she promptly started checking the herbs .

「This is this time’s reward」

Once the confirmation of the herbs is done, the reward money is presented . I confirm the amount of money at the counter and put them into a bag .

And when I think of returning――

「Why are brats in here!」

A large, bald adventurer comes over while shouting .
