I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
Episode 271: Slums, Temples, and Money
As she proceeded to heal the slums, she went to the Imperial Capital to receive support from the temple chief. She flew back with the wind spirits of the elves, and Ellie rolled up on the sofa and quickly fell asleep, while Aeon and the others waited endlessly.
"It's planned to be a six-day long chicken stall." I have to rest when I can. "
Saying so softly, she quietly sat down beside Ellie. Since the first day, there have been a lot of unplanned things, and if you don't actively rest rather than moderately, you may collapse somewhere.
I thought I'd talk to Aeon about something, but Ellie is lying down. I'm going to take a break, but I'm in trouble again.
Masaru-sama, something went wrong.
Somehow, a man came along with his companions. I told the beast soldiers that their job was to guard and not to touch ordinary people, so I asked them what they were doing.
"Nh, what..."
Ellie woke up, too.
"It's not a big deal, so you can rest." Miriam, stay with Ellie. "
Apparently, the Charlatan brought in quite a few people. Numerically, if you're not good enough for soldiers, how many are there? Armor is fairly solid.
Residents who came to get water because of you can't help but get caught up, and the queue in the watering place has been reduced to about half the space. Fortunately, people who are treated have a safe distance from each other by staggering the waiting area a little.
It was a bit of a problem, I'm sure. If we fight, we will win, but there will be dead people on both sides. Both the magic of the Elves and the presence of their inhabitants made it impossible to let go. But it was not easy for a fully equipped soldier to get his hands on it.
Will you use Stanboro to dominate? But as expected, hundreds of people can't do it all at once, and if you can solve it through dialogue, you can't go beyond that.
“This is our land! Get the rest of them out!"
That's what the gang demanded. So what if we leave? Even though the treatment and water are on the way, the inhabitants are sure not to do anything extra.
It's easy to talk if you make concessions. After the treatment is over, you can promise to surrender this land.
You can win this fight, or call in any reinforcements you want. But after fighting and defeating them, if we keep them alive, they'll come back. I couldn't possibly kill them all. And I couldn't keep the soldiers around forever. That's exactly what Charlatan said.
But the use of this land has already been decided. When I returned to the Imperial City, I spoke to the temple director and asked him to make this place a temple. I agreed with every one and every one of them that the slums also needed to be rescued, and that they needed to continue.
"Oh, like a priest." Isn't it better to give up here? "
The guy who noticed me is threatening to kill me. I wonder if Saty and I can beat them all up. If you do, you'll be scared and never come back. I don't think so.
All that's left is money. Not bad if you can solve it with a little money, but if you have that kind of money, it should be used to save the slums.
Do you think you can beat the soldiers who survived the hyrax?
While saying that, I think I will blow it up once. If I looked closely, I could see that only the vanguard seemed to have the strength to fight. And it was like a dick with a weapon. I knocked down about half with a stunbolt, and the only thing I had left was a blade and a sword. Then we can capture them all and turn them over to the Imperial soldiers. If you can wear the slave crest as a criminal, you won't be able to do it again.
If you want to build a temple, you can place the Knights, and you can maintain them after capturing the main force of the gang. If the temple proves useful, the inhabitants will join us.
"No matter how many soldiers there are..." My boss, he was a disciple of the Sword Saint! "
Hmm. Probably the one right behind the Charlie Man, with the freakish look of his face. Indeed, he seemed to be standing on his arm. But with the Sword Saint's disciple?
Indeed, as a master's disciple, even a hundred soldiers or two hundred opponents have the strength to turn the battle situation upside down. Interesting.
"Hey, what are you going to do with the sword?"
That's what the Charlatan said and laughed vulgarly. I'm going to beat your boss up right now.
I'll see how strong you are as a Sword Saint disciple.
Say that to show the boss and encourage him to come forward. Even though I was a disciple of the Sword Saint, my strength was tremendous. Big Brother and Swordmaster Class are quite dangerous, but I don't think so. I don't think so, do I?
Even if it was a disciple, there were a lot of people who would be dropped downstairs in a short time. It's enough to be the boss of the gang. Probably that kind of dropout group.
Hmm. I know that face.
”Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Why is the Sword Saint here!?”
Seeing the master come forward in a flutter, he was blatantly wolfed. Yeah, I'm scared.
Are you really a disciple?
"He must have been a disciple of Burnaby's." I went up to the auger and disappeared immediately. "
A disciple is a deceiver. Well, if I could get up to the orgasm class, I'd be good enough to stand up.
However, I heard that Burnaby is the dojo master of Biels, who is about the position of a disciple of the master's disciple. Disciple? Disciple? Disciple? Can't you tell a complete lie?
Georges, was that you?
"Ah, do you remember the name of Hashi or something!?"
Hmmm. I thought you were a promising swordsman using an interesting sword, but I didn't know you were whispering in this place.
Seriously, you remember me well. The master would sneak a look at the Auger class and downtown dojo if he had time, but if he did, hundreds or thousands of people would come to learn the sword every year. Or perhaps this Georges was really the material that aroused my master's interest. His face was indeed harsh and distinctive.
"I was confident in my arms." In that case, it's not a very good place, but you can't do it. "
I don't know about the upper one. You're a real genius, with a cheat like me. Or I'm not prepared to train to the death, or I can't help myself if my heart breaks immediately.
"Why did the Sword Saint come to this place?" I heard the rumors of the wind coming to the Imperial City.
Was the disturbance I was captured in the other day widespread?
"It's his escort." Why don't you try a fight with us? "
"No, no, no, no, no!" Please forgive me. "
The boss seems to have completely lost his will to fight. As long as I knew a little about Sword Saint's prowess, I wouldn't normally challenge him. It's a living legend that sits on the seat of the world's greatest swordsman this year.
Master, can I leave these to you?
Well, the master nodded a bit sadly. You must be disappointed that the battle has been avoided. I've been motivated for a moment. But if it can be resolved peacefully, it will not be enough.
"Did you hear that this treatment and the provision of water are the responsibility of the Holy Maiden?" I have been working with the Holy Maiden since the Battle of Recapture. If you want to name me as your disciple, you must help the Holy Maiden. We're going to build a temple here. "
"With a disciple like you... hello, I'll do my best to help you!" Hey, did you hear that? We're going to build a temple here with the help of the Sword Saint and the Holy Maiden! "
There is a verse in which the master regards all Bielsian swordsmen as disciples, rather than disciples. Well, it wasn't a mistake. In fact, if the master shouted like this, Biels' swordsman would move with pleasure.
Let's go back.
I put my sword back in the item box and called out to Aeon, who was nearby. I was so tired. I noticed a man looking at me trying to turn back his heel. You're scolding me. You're scolding me. I'm sure it's too easy to turn things upside down and be emotionally unconvinced of anything.
I'll call the man up for a minute. He quietly spoke to the man who was shaking his shoulders in intimidation.
"Let's just say this." Your boss is the underboss of the Sword Saint's disciple. I am the direct disciple of the Sword Saint. Next time you hear me lick your mouth
I pulled out the dagger from my waist and thrust it against the man's neck.
"There is no life."
You didn't know what had happened to the Charlatan, but the feeling of a cold sword on his neck was unmistakable.
"Your boss told me that the Augment class is a monster." I was the one who set foot there. You must be pretty strong. "
That's what Sati said.
"Oh yes, my boss is really good..."
But we defeated all those Augur-class creatures and became disciples of the Sword Saint.
"If it was a battle, it wouldn't be necessary for the master to come out." It was just me and him, and all of you were dead. "
With that said, he pulled his sword, and the man collapsed into henna. Thinking about it, even if it was a battle in the previous scene, it seems unlikely that the master could have helped me. I'd be happy to leave you two to it.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
I told Aeon that I had to wait, and now I started to return to the base. Now, I don't think the Charlatan is going to make any more trouble, but it's a lot of trouble to be licked by the way he looks. I don't want to be discreet. Would you like to use the Dark Knight-style armor Syrah used before? But it doesn't matter if you're physically small.
Were you really going to kill everyone?
"No way. It's just a threat."
I could do it if I wanted to do it to Aeon with a relaxed expression. That's what I added.
If I did, of course I wouldn't kill them, but it was my job to deal with more than 100 people on my own, and also to treat the one who got injured. Or perhaps I lost my will to fight if I defeated half of them with my first Stanbolt. It looked like the back was just a number match to threaten them with numbers.
Or did you end up riding with your boss? It seems that you're cleaner and less damaging, but that's also a hopeful observation. The unbeatable boss may have rushed his men into a turbulent battle. After all, a peaceful solution is best. "Master, there are many different things."
As expected, I thought I'd go back to the base and get some sleep, but I didn't think so.
They say the gangs worked hard. Until now, there have been a lot of people who didn't think about the gang, and I helped transport sick people who couldn't move, and all the people who wanted to be treated came together.
Yeah, well, it's easier for me to come all at once, so it's just fine.
I got a little excited and proceeded with the treatment. Ellie is still asleep, so I'm in charge of the mildly ill.
Aeon-sama, who had treated me several times in the range, was also at the limit of his magic power.
Um, isn't it time for Masaru to take a rest?
The Mithril Order was exhausted. The Holy Maiden was resting early, and Ellie was also resting. Of course, the Imperial City officials used to draw their hands away from the treatment and guide the people who wanted the treatment, and I am the only one who is currently treating them.
I checked my fatigue and magic power. I was tired, but I still had more room than I had at the end of the Hiraghis.
"I'm still fine." Should we send back the Mithril priests? Or do you want to see the Imperial City at the same time? "
I still don't feel satisfied with Aeon that I will have the cost of my stay, so should I tell you more?
"With this much, my magic power won't be exhausted." Sometimes it's a blessing, so the healing speed is faster. "
Well, it's faster to do it alone, but the problem is fatigue.
I heard something about Aeon, but my master came back.
"It seems that there are about five other groups in the outer city besides Georges' group." There were two things bigger than Georges. He said that he would negotiate somehow and suppress it even if it was impossible to change his life, but it would be helpful if he could get support. ”
Support. Money, strength, authority? Looks like they're asking us what we can do, not exactly what we're going to give them. I can give you money. I can spin your troops. I had the authority and the hand to the Emperor and the Imperial Army. But they were all troublesome. I want to blow it off from the edge and go around. Or threaten to shoot five or six flares over the ghetto. No, but it's a waste of magic.
I'm tired and my thoughts are getting cluttered. Something more peaceful and smart. Ideas that threaten them in a positive way, or that they have a profit. So I remembered the man.
"They want the land, don't they?"
He was desperate for land and land. The riverside itself is quite large, but there are not many places that can actually be used. So the outer city was cluttered with houses and barracks, and I changed my eyes to a new land. It is difficult to tidy the land on your own because of the power of each faction, and after all, the slums are illegally occupied. I can't be as flashy as being stunned by the Empire.
"I can't do it here, but I'll tidy up somewhere else." You can share it. "
If you don't mind later, you can also make a house. Both the temple and the local gang have equal access to the land. Nobody complains.
All that's left is a rejection of the temple, but I'm going to have to ask the tunnels to do something about it. It will improve somewhat this time, and it will not be an area where I can do more.
"Sounds good." I'll tell you. "
Next up is the transport of Mithril's shrine. When I asked, there were only a few people who wanted to return home, and they would be caught by the Imperial City sightings and stayed behind. During the treatment period, you can stay and work every time your magic power is restored.
At the same time, Aeon instructed the guru to send back the reinforcements. I think I can count on your support tomorrow.
When I came back, I was already talking about leveling. The location is also decided, so I will move and level it immediately. It was just opposite the place of treatment across from the favela.
In the meantime, the next treatment applicant is accumulating, and I am recovering the range many times.
"If the number of people staying in the Imperial Capital is going to increase, we need to prepare to receive people from the kingdom." Talk to the head of the Florence Shrine and pay for your stay. Speaking of which, can Aeon get paid? "
I liked the Imperial City officials. We're talking about our own locals. There is also the benefit of improving the feelings of the inhabitants of the new temples and slums. However, for the guru of the kingdom, it was in another country.
"This is done as part of the temple work with the help of the Saintess, so there is no reward." You don't have to worry about the cost of your stay. This is still the Emperor's sister. I don't have any trouble with the money I can spend. ”
Well then, let's see if there's anything you can thank me for.
It is not good to say that there is nothing. Even as part of its business, the company pays overtime, night differential, and additional compensation for business trips.
"No, there's something about my eyes, so I don't think it's going to be much of a reward..."
Oh, you don't have to worry about that.
I just improved my skills a bit, and I must have thanked the Mithril Order for it. I don't know how to thank you for the money, so I'll talk to the temple director later.
"Even so... did you really need more support than that?"
"This is a bad time."
I was told to call for backup now, but the time when Aeon and the others arrived was when someone was still awake, but it was already midnight. You can wake me up at this hour and bring me here.
Is Masaru treating you all day today?
No, it's been afternoon.
"You would have been farming in the morning. It's time for the masal to rest, right?"
Yes, Ellie got up and said with a yawn.
I don't think I'll be able to rest today.
The treatment of the favela is at its peak. If I take a break, there's no one left to heal me.
I'm sure it's just insane, though.
"It's nothing if it's about a day." As expected, I won't be able to do it for two or three days, but I'm going to let you slow down tomorrow. "
With support coming from various places, including the kingdom of God, you shouldn't have to work so much tomorrow if nothing happens.
By the way, Ellie, what's going on with my pocket money and my finances?
It's about time I lost my pocket money.
"To be clear, it's a deficit." After a while, I think I'll have some income from the mine. "
The initial investment in the mine caused a considerable amount of cash to fly. Some of them were taken out in the war, and the reward for that period was zero. There should be some rewards from the Adventurer's Guild, but I can't expect the amount. The reward from Hiragis comes in the form of territory. All the pre-Hiraghi money went to the Hiraghi settlement. Yes, Ellie can count the fingers and explain.
“I don't want to spend money on the Yamanos village, and I only have Masaru's pocket money on hand.”
Seriously. It was tougher than I thought. I was wrong about whether I was rich or not, because of the huge sums of money flowing in from the elves related to the leeches.
"What are the rewards for the Masals in this case...?"
I don't know.
"This treatment is what I started talking about." Rather, I feel like I'm on the side of paying for it.
The Elves have been doing everything for a while without pay, so you don't need the money. The Beastman soldier you moved today also got money from the Elves for the Beast Realm, so you don't have to get it out of me. Maybe I should ask Lilia for my pocket money.
I became sad when I thought about it.
"That's true..."
It looks like Aeon has nothing to say about my dire financial situation. I'm ashamed.
"I'm an adventurer." If you want to make money, you can make as much money as you want when you go hunting. "
I don't have time for that though.
I can only nod to Ellie's words. I can do whatever I want, but I'm desperate enough to have no time for volunteering without any compensation.
”Is that because... Masaru is a brave man?”
I wonder why you are doing this for free.
I'm not a brave man.
Not yet, at least.
"What about faith?"
"I feel like it's different. It was all about the water."
Listening to the issue of polluted water in the Imperial Capital, in order to receive and install the spirits of the elves in the royal forest next to the Imperial Castle, to heal those who became ill by drinking the polluted water, and to enhance the authority of the Saintess to promote the installation of the spirits of the elves. The Elves gain territory in the first place of the Imperial Capital, and the Holy Maiden boosts her prestige. Explain that this is the case.
My profit? It must be the Aeon in front of me.
And this is my future, my investment in the future. If you keep up the good work here, the probability of survival in 20 years should surely increase.
"Masal is a naughty and vulgar person, but definitely a noble person." If anyone asks for help, I will help them. Maybe that's all there is to it. "
I don't really like to be told that I'm noble, but I can't say strongly enough before Ellie pushes me to cooperate. Without affirming or denying it, she told Ellie.
"Ellie and the others are helping me, so I'm doing it." It's really helpful. "
I can do whatever I want because I can throw all kinds of businesses to trusted Ellie and the others.
Did Aeon agree with my explanation? She closed her eyes and thought about it. We should have Aeon join us sooner rather than later. Yes, I refresh my thoughts several times. That way, you'll be convinced of many things.....
Sati got my attention. You're gonna give me my wallet? There were two gold coins and one silver coin in it.
I'll check my wallet, too. It contained only a few silver coins and copper coins. Even a single silver coin is worth 10,000 yen, and the feeling is that there are a few ten thousand cards in the wallet, but it is less handy than Sati. No, Miriam doesn't have to give out her wallet either. As expected, I don't get any allowance for these two.
"Come on, I'll give you half of my money, so take it."
Ellie, who I saw, gave me a penny. One gold coin is worth 100,000 yen. That's ten!
"Well, that's why I'll pay for your stay later..."
Yes, I lowered my head to Aeon. Depending on the number of people coming from the kingdom of God, about 10 gold coins is not enough. I'm really sorry to hear it from myself.
"No, I'll keep all the money for you!" Please don't worry about Masal-sama. "
Then I'll leave it to you. I can't afford to make any money at the moment.
Oh, is Aeon wealthy?
I'll answer Ellie's questions.
"Didn't I just say that?" She's the sister of Emperor Mithril. "
Ellie opened her eyes wide.
"Why is Masaru like that again?"
Are you going to hook up with someone like that? Or are you not going to say what's important first?
"I'm sorry."
Either way, I had no choice but to say so.
