Chapter 6 – Episode 6 – Temporary Contract!
After roughly filling her stomach with the dregs piled up in the warehouse, she slowly read one by one, rummaging through the bundle of papers Sera had handed to her with her mouth and hooves. It was so uncomfortable that it took a long time to open the paper, so my desire for humanization skills increased, but there is no way to do it right now. I have no choice but to gather information slowly. Thinking that I should get used to this city first, I read the letters on the paper with various contents written on it.
And the most eye-catching among them was the description of the warrior. I was curious about it, but I couldn’t ask because I was too busy taking care of myself for a while.
It is said that a warrior is a name given to a person who has received the blessing of Eser and has no limit on the amount of Eser. The fact that there is no limit to the amount of Esser possessed means that you can use infinite energy, and it means that you will not run out of Esser even if you use speculation or magic. However, it is written that only Esser is infinite, and fighting power, stamina, and concentration are another story, but it is clear that it is a considerable merit.
The amount of Esser held represents the maximum amount of Esser that the body can have. Although it increases or decreases little by little, it is said that it rarely rises or falls significantly in a short period of time. That’s why non-heroes always have to be mindful of their Esser holdings, but heroes have no such restrictions.
It is said that no hero is a hero from birth, and those who awaken at some point appear as they train or train. It is said that you can become strong quickly thanks to the infinite Esser, and the top class warriors are really incredibly strong. And there are 12 people who are such heroes in Ladiaen, and about 20 people who have been recognized as potential heroes if they train more because they are candidates for heroes.
“Um… This is a bit deceptive. Aren’t these bastards like reincarnations, by any chance? Are you a warrior? How many?”
I’m in a state of suffering because someone changed into words, but it’s too much
As I said that, I looked out the window and saw that the sunset was setting. It was about time to go to the guild management office.
“Ah~ What kind of guild would be good?”
While thinking over the conditions I wanted, I came out with the clatter of horses’ hooves.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
On the streets of Ladia overflowing with people returning home, I must have noticed my figure. It was the same in the morning, but the eyes of people who glance at me are a bit stingy. But for 15 days, they were known to some extent and only stared at them, but on the first day, there were people who just screamed and ran away. Wow~ I was expecting something like cute~, but in another world, I guess I’m just a ferocious looking monster.
Looking at the people passing by while receiving the attention of the people around me, it seemed that there were quite a few beauties in this world. As expected, it should be said that it is a different world, but overall, the average women look younger and prettier than during the Earth days. Not just the face, but the body as a whole…
What’s a little strange is the men’s side, but unlike women who have a high level of appearance, men are mostly normal. Not only that, but even the average height feels similar to that of a woman. It feels like most of them are between 160 and 170, but I saw only men who were normal in terms of height as well as body shapes. What should I say, this feels like a slender type of main character that would appear in light novels or Japanese comics with only their appearance slightly nerfed?
What is it, is it a different race from Earth? Well, it doesn’t matter as long as the female side is definitely good looking.
“Um… If I had to choose among the girls I’d seen so far, Lisbeth and Sara… And the warden?”
The first woman she met was Lisbeth, but she was quite pretty except for her slightly short stature. No, should she rather say that because she has that face and that height, you can even feel her cuteness? It was a pity that her dress was plain. And Sera, all the clerks at the guild management office were beautiful, but Sera, the idol of the guild management office, was definitely a beauty that stood out. Should I say that I rather like her not-so-glamorous, sincere-looking face… And the director’s office?
Oh no way Seeing beautiful women often, my alter ego, the size of which surprises me, tries to react against my will. I haven’t been able to drain the water for nearly two months, and since I entered the city, I’ve been trying to reveal myself. I don’t even have a hand, but if this guy goes wild, there really won’t be an answer.
With such thoughts in mind, I went all the way to the guild management office, and it certainly seemed more crowded than in the morning. From the entrance, I could already feel the noise of people.
“Eserga 516000 and Stamina 723!? Hey, that’s definitely Shinsoo. Should we hire them!?”
“What kind of bullshit are you coming late! Line up! As soon as we returned, we were waiting at the kwanliso!”
“Even if the stats are high, I’m a bit worried. Can we fight together?”
“I heard that the Madell couple can ride on Malone’s back? Wouldn’t it be?”
“No matter how bad it is, our guild, which is only female, is a bit…”
Oh, I guess I can’t go to a guild with only women. This harem sucks.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
“Haha, I really…”
As soon as I entered the guild, people came to me as their eyes were fixed on me, and they explained their guild like this and that and urged me to join. For some reason, it felt like they were lined up in order, starting with the most popular guilds, but when I explained the conditions for joining to those people, they all fell in love with a uh… Look on their faces and asking for time to think. After interviewing about 7 guilds, all the people in line disappeared.
1. My top priority is to acquire humanization skills, so I will collect information about it and prioritize that information until I acquire humanization skills.
2. Until I get the humanization skill, I wish I had someone to help me by my side.
3. In addition to salaries, give guild stakes or definite bonuses for performance.
4. Give quest options.
As I said above, all of them had subtle facial expressions. Did you just believe in Shinsoo and sing too much? Still, since Shin-soo is a rare and well-received guy, I tried shouting thinking that there would be people who would like him, but it must have been a mistake. When the guild leaders who went through the interview went back with subtle expressions, there were only those who talked to me out of personal interest, and no one encouraged me to join the guild anymore.
“Ah~ I should have left out the stakes…”
As I sighed and looked around, there was a guy waving from what looked like a restaurant in the distance.
It was Als. And next to him is Lisbeth. As Ars lowered her hand, the same guild crests engraved on the back of the hands of the two on the table caught my eye. Anyway, friendly faces came out and approached them.
“Looks like it didn’t go well, Sema. How have you been doing?”
“Oh Ars, I was treated strangely by calling them here and there. I haven’t seen you guys for a while, have you been to a nearby dungeon?”
“What about the dungeon? I was called here and there because of you, and I just came back around lunchtime today. Haha i’m tired…”
Lisbeth grumbles and lets out her sigh. Certainly, her face looks a bit more tired than the day we first met. She must have been quite tired from being called. A staff member who looked like a restaurant employee asked me for an order, but she said it was okay because she couldn’t eat anything with this body, and stood in front of the guys.
“It seems that all the large guilds gathered today did not respond well… What conditions did you set?”
“Ah, that…”
I told Als, who was asking, about the conditions I had explained to the guild leaders. So Ars gave a subtle smile, and Lisbeth said with a puzzled expression.
“What~? Did you try to join the guild under those conditions?”
“Is it like that too? The share…”
“I don’t know about the stake, but most guilds will give you additional money based on your performance, so that probably didn’t matter. The problem is asking for someone to help you and choosing the quest.”
Listening to Ars’ story, he said that guilds usually want power that can be used immediately. However, asking for someone to help you until you acquire a humanization skill that you don’t know when you will get it is rather a reduction in manpower. It was also burdensome, but he said that the quest option was a condition that he could not accept.
“If you are close to the guild leader or have worked for a long time, there are guild leaders who will consider the situation even if they can’t give you a choice. But if you give someone in your guild a choice, every guild member will want that choice. Because everyone wants something that is easy to do and leaves results. Then there will be quests that are ignored among the quests assigned to the guild, and if those quests are not handled, the guild evaluation may be ruined and support may be cut off.”
“On top of that, with his ferocious appearance and ferocious Esser energy, it’s hard to believe that he’s a Shinsoo, but who would accept such a condition?”
Ah… It seems that this has become a condition for the employee to choose a job. Besides, are the adventurers still a little concerned about me? It was a condition to be able to move around to a certain extent, but it failed.
In addition, since guild leaders are the representatives responsible for the livelihood of the guild members, Ars added that there would be no guild leader making decisions that would harm the guild.
“Well, let’s hear it, it seems like there aren’t many outside of the large-scale guild today. I heard that dungeons are quite difficult and dangerous. I heard that most of the guilds that were designated as urgent quests and could afford to participate were compulsorily, but there were some guilds that suffered quite a bit of damage. Since everyone has just returned, they will be hectic, so won’t small to mid-level guilds be invited after tomorrow?”
Come to think of it, the condition of the adventurers did not look very good. Some people were wearing bandages, and they all seemed to have big or small injuries somewhere.
“Huh… I guess there are a lot of dungeons like that? Even though the guilds gathered like that, it was enough to cause damage.”
“Normal dungeons aren’t that dangerous… But somehow, since a few years ago, such dungeons have been appearing intermittently. If such a dangerous dungeon is left alone, the monsters in the dungeon will become contaminated with monsters, and as those monsters begin to come out of the dungeon, it could become a land overflowing with tesers like a cursed mountain range.”
“Hoo…”
Rather than that, when I heard that there were dangerous dungeons coming out from time to time these days, I remembered the story of destruction that the homeless god said. Still, you said it was hundreds of years later, but surely it’s not because of that…?
Als looked at me thinking that way, hmm. Then he made me an offer.
“Sema, do you… Do you plan to join our guild?”
“Ha!? This guy!? To our guild!?”
“Oh… Your guild?”
She looked at Als in disbelief, and Als smiled at Lisbeth, then she looked at me and brought up her story.
“The name of our guild is Madel’s Light. It’s a two-person guild that Liz and I created. Madell is the town where we were born, where we decided to become adventurers from childhood, Liz attended a magic school, and I attended an adventurer training center and created a guild last year after graduating.”
After hearing the story, the two people, who were noted for their talent in the small countryside, promised to become adventurers together since childhood. After graduating, it is said that they created a guild together. Lisbeth was a talented person who was invited to enter a magic school because of her innate magic since her childhood, and Als grew up hearing that she had guts. Is said to have received
The Light Guild of Madel, created by these two people, was a personal guild created by two talented young people who were beginners for their dreams. He said that the management office was paying close attention to these two people and was very considerate of them, and that other guilds were on the side of taking good care of them, inviting them to join them from time to time.
Wouldn’t it be quite heartwarming to see these young children working hard while talking about their dreams? Since they’re still beginners, there won’t be any quest competition with big guilds.
“Originally, the two of us jumped out halfway to leave our names in history, but lately I’ve been feeling a bit lacking in strength. It goes over the beginner’s wall, but it feels a bit lacking.”
After all, there are beginners’ walls everywhere. The two of them seemed to be feeling a bit impatient because they were blocked by that wall recently. It reminds me of catching a mad cow that wasn’t even a quest.
“We also have a little bit of a quest option… But I think we can meet the other conditions. Since there are only 3 of us, we will have to do it together, so we can fill the condition of being a person to help. What do you think?”
Even if there was no quest option, it was a condition that was craving for taste. The only thing I’m worried about is that it’s still a guild with two young people… Do you think of this as a company? Are you okay?
“If you are worried about joining, why don’t you try a few temporary contract positions with us? There’s no sharing of experience points, and there’s a fair amount of tax when you settle the bill, so there won’t be much left over, but it’s a way to build a career without any burden, so some people who can afford it do it a few times before joining their first guild.”
“Ooh”
Come to think of it, Sera said there was such a thing, but I didn’t think about it at all because I was a little burdened by the sound of a contract job. After all, I have enough money to last for a while.
“Well. I think a temporary contract job would be fine. Come to think of it, it seems a bit like that, let alone going back to the guild, and me joining the guild from the beginning, as I don’t have much other knowledge.”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought too. If you leave your first guild in less than two years or get fired, you’re bound to suspect that you’ve caused some kind of discord. The record remains on the adventurer card, so you can’t lie. As an adventurer, once you have such doubts, you have a lot of trouble working after that.”
On the other hand, temporary contract workers do not have a record of joining the guild, and only the number of times they have worked is recorded. Of course, achievements accumulate if you accomplish great things, but it is said that it is difficult for temporary contract workers to build such achievements. Well, I didn’t need any achievements right away, so this one seemed fine.
“Yeah, then I think it would be okay for the two of them to join the guild as temporary contract workers for the time being. How is Lisbeth~?”
She playfully asked Lisbeth, who was listening to her with a somewhat sullen expression, for her opinion. Lisbeth twitched her eyebrows a little, then she sighed and said,
“Ha. Well… I can’t help it. I also thought it would be nice if there was at least one more of us…”
Judging by the expression on his face, it seemed that he was still dissatisfied. Well, it felt like it was a couples guild only for the two of us, but to be with someone else, even if it was a temporary contract worker, seemed like a woman might be dissatisfied. Seeing such an obnoxious expression, a mischievous feeling wriggled, wondering if he should have just signed up and harassed me.
“Then, speaking of it… How about meeting us at the guild tomorrow to choose a quest and take a look around the city? I don’t think I’ve even looked at the city properly until now.”
“Um, not really. I heard that I could move freely after receiving my citizenship today, but I didn’t know the road well and the eyes around me were very burdensome.”
“Then let’s do it. I guess it’s a bit much to leave tomorrow, so I’ll choose a quest for tomorrow and go around the store to prepare.”
“Okay~”
After exchanging small talk like that, the two of them parted ways after meeting at the guild tomorrow morning.
