A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

"Nicolas and Sharon haven't been with the union for a while. The boy seems to be quite“ usable ”, so please move alone from now on."

"I can't believe OJT was cut off in one day...."

The following day, Nicolas and Sharon took him to exterminate the monster. Revealing the night at Dominic's restaurant's warehouse again, Reus went to the Adventurers' Union and murmured at the words thrown from Natalia.

"Ohhhhhhhh?

"This story, this story. Or did you ask the seniors to do it? Nicolas was drinking late last night. Are you okay?

Reurus called it a celebration of his first successful extermination of monsters, and he was making noise at Dominic's restaurant until it closed. Sharon, who finished his “errands” at the Adventurers' Association, also joined other adventurers to make a lot of noise.

Not knowing how strong the body of this world is to alcohol, Reurus withdrew so much, but Nicolas literally took a shower and drank. I may be strong against alcohol, but if I succeed, I may be suffering from hangover by now.

"Nicolas is so strong that she won't drink until it affects her work. Sharon will be fine."

"Hah... Senpai Nicola is so strong at drinking. I hope there's no problem."

Rather, Reurus thinks it would be better if there was a problem. If Natalia's story is not a lie or a joke, it will be working alone from today.

OJT - It is a shame that vocational education was cut off in just one day.

Even black companies I've seen in my previous life never finish their onboarding in one day. Although it is short, it is normal to have a certain period of education, during which the character and abilities of the new recruit are identified and assigned to the appropriate department.

(Ah... when I thought about it, the company I was in didn't have a "decent" onboarding session...)

There are some exceptions, but when I remembered that I was the exception, Reurus was slightly dented. It was the worst environment for me to look at senpai's work and learn for myself rather than learn, and if that was impossible, to quit the company.

(Instead... I didn't quit because I... was good in the old days)

The world we live in now is difficult and difficult, but at least there are no black companies. Although it has been a slavery-like environment since its birth, there is also the aspect that it is “natural” in this world.

As a result, I shook my head and switched consciousness, but at the same time, a question that could not be ignored arose inside the revus.

Reurus taught Nicolas and Sharon a lot about his career as an adventurer, but it wasn't exactly the kind of atmosphere he would throw out in a day. Judging by Nicolas' gestures, they should have acted together for a while.

(Even if you suddenly get a request from the union, you just have to leave my education behind, right? Indeed, I was able to go through a lot just yesterday, but senpai, it's too soon to get rid of the adventurer's guidance and give him a job... hmm, did something big happen?

I've heard from Nicolas, and I've seen him fight, but Nicolas and Sharon seem to be among the adventurers in the abandoned city of Laval. What kind of request is it necessary to interrupt the onboarding education that I was contracting and drive these two out?

I glanced at Natalia, but I couldn't tell anything just by smiling lightly. Reurus sighed and avoided pursuing the attitude, which he had just said he would not speak any more.

"... so? Even if they told me to move alone, I don't even know what to do.

"It's basically the same as yesterday. I would like to ask you to crush a monster that could be harmful to this abandoned city of Laval. Of course not. There are other adventurers out there, and it's enough to keep an eye out for them close to the city."

Apparently, just looking around the town is fine. I don't think we're going to let the rookies fight the monsters.

"If I find a monster, can I ask a nearby adventurer for help?

If other Senpai adventurers are also on the lookout, I'll let you crush the monsters. Though it is a genuine request, it should help us defeat monsters safer and more reliably than the amateurs who started shaking their swords yesterday.

"Kid, I don't care if you take him down alone."

"Hahaha, you're being rude"

Reurus laughs back at Natalia, who laughs with a glossy smile and raises an impossible problem, and Natalia takes out a small cloth bag while changing the type of smile.

"If you can defeat monsters on your own, you'll get more rewards.

"... what's that?

Looking at the contents of the cloth bag, Natalia carefully loosened the cloth bag and showed the contents to Reurus.

"Reward for yesterday's demon crusade. One Epel, two Citnams, three Torones, and the price of all the materials sold... that's what I deducted the tax and split it it in three."

That's what I was told. I checked the inside of the cloth bag and found out that there were several pieces in it. Turn it upside down and take it out on the palm of your hand, and there are about seven coin-like objects rolling out.

…………

A revulsion that silences without thinking and repeats the blink. If my color perception hadn't gone crazy, the object claiming its weight on the palm of my hand would have looked silver. Unexpectedly, if you raise and lower your hand, a chatter and metal sound will sound.

"... silver coins!?

Reurus was screaming as he recovered from astonishment. And as soon as I put the silver back into the cloth bag and squeezed it with both hands, I looked around alert.

When I was in Chenna, I saw a merchant visiting the village and the upper echelons of the village exchanging money from afar. At that time, Reurus saw three types of coins: small bronze, large bronze, and silver coins currently in his hands.

It is unclear how many other types of coins there are, but I have never seen more money than silver in my dealings with Shenna Village. In other words, the silver coins held by Reurus could have been quite large.

Perhaps someone will try to force them to take it away. It was a revus that revealed vigilance from such a sense of crisis, but as Natalia said, the other adventurers were driven by clients, and the only two in the union were Revus and Natalia.

Nevertheless, Reurus turned a vigilant eye because of Natalia's presence, but Natalia smiled bitterly and circled the smoke pipe with her fingertips.

"I did give you 700 yuan of your reward. It's your first reward, so use it carefully."

"... even if you tell me to use it carefully, I don't know how valuable“ this ”is. I've only seen it from afar in the village. If only I could explain... it's the first time I've touched money since I was born."

Even though I said I could, my face is stuck with cuts. The reward I received for the first time in this world was spiritually slightly heavy, and I was not willing to spend it if I didn't know its value.

"I can't help it... well, the boy has become a part of this town, and I'll tell you about it."

What did Natalia think as she watched the serious revulsion? Natalia put the smoke tube that she was turning with her fingertips on her desk so that she could pull in the bitter smile. And I thought it was pulled into the back of the reception, and I put something on the wooden basin and carried it.

Reurus peeks into something and there are five kinds of coins lined up.

"These are not only the money spent in Mataroi, the country to which the city of Laval belongs, but in the entire continent of Cardiva where we live."

On top of the basin are large bronze coins in small swings, silver coins held by Reurus, and even large gold coins in small swings. I thought there might be gold coins because I have silver coins, but I accidentally rang my throat in front of the real thing.

(I've seen it on TV before, but I can't believe I worshipped real gold after I died.)

There are two kinds of copper and gold coins, small and large, and only one type of silver coin, but each is made according to standards and in a well-organized shape.

The shapes of small copper and gold coins are close to a hundred yen coin, if you think about it in the knowledge of the previous life. It is thick with two hundred yen coins stacked together. There are flowers that I have never seen in bronze coins, and portraits of middle-aged men are engraved on the coins.

Silver coins were nearly 500 yen coins in size, slightly thickening the 500 yen coins. The surface is engraved with a mark that deforms the dragon, and it can be seen that casting and other techniques are well developed.

As for the remaining large bronze and gold coins, the gold coins are card-shaped ingots of card size. The thickness is about 1 cm, and it will be slightly heavier if held in hand. The large bronze coin is half folded around the business card, and this one is about one centimeter thick.

"There are five kinds of coins: bronze, big bronze, silver, gold, and big gold. One euro for bronze, ten euros for big bronze, one hundred euros for silver, one thousand euros for gold, one thousand euros for big gold... the reward I gave the boy is 700 euros, so it's seven silver coins."

When I rechecked the contents of the cloth bag I was told to hold, it was not bronze or large bronze, gold or large gold, but indeed seven silver coins.

"There are five kinds of money in total, but I don't think I usually see gold. Large coins can only be used for expensive deals and rewards for confronting powerful monsters."

"I see... I know the type, but how much is each worth?

I understand the type of currency, but I don't even know its core value. How valuable are the seven silver coins you received this time?

Silver coins - Silver coins remind me of the fifty yen coins and one hundred yen coins that I used in my previous life. If silver coins are worth only about 50 yen or 100 yen in Heisei Japan, the danger of extermination of monsters and rewards are not at all commensurate.

"Well... let's start with the bronze coins."

When Natalia points to the copper coins placed on the basin with a smoke pipe, Natalia turns her eyes to think.

"There's not a lot of copper in this town, which means you can buy a yura. Little bread, little firewood, little vegetables... oh, and a bucket full of water. It depends on the price of the day, but the salt is around 20 grams... about that."

(Water taxes are traumatic, so please stop...)

I don't know about Natalia, but she almost died because she didn't have a penny. It was a revulsion that reminded me of that time, but I will calculate Yura's value in my head based on what Natalia said.

(I think the price of small bread and vegetables, even slightly firewood, water and salt... salt is expensive, but is it about 100 yen per yuan? Seven silver coins...)

Reurus concludes that it would be about 70,000 yen if calculated in Japanese yen.

I felt that the reward I received for killing the monster of my life was small, but I still thought that I could earn it in a few hours and it seemed like it was broken. Including Nicolas and Sharon, you earned close to 200,000 yen in a few hours.

The wager was my life, but not as much work as I could earn in my previous life. Without Nicolas and Sharon, he would almost certainly have died, but if only he had the power to defeat monsters, the adventurer's profession might be an unexpected lucrative one.

(Even though it's small, you can buy bread and vegetables for one lira... which means 700 lira? Wow, what is it... you can eat so much!

In this world, I never ate until I was full, and when I was in Shenna Village, I thought it was like a dream or a goal. Though the scale of dreams is too small considering the diet in the previous life, if we look back at the food situation and the situation in Shena village in the present life, there was no possibility of realizing it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reus was touched by the fact that this reward would come true quickly, but realized that Natalia was turning a blind eye to her emotions and broke her mind.

"... do you have something?

"As a receptionist for this Adventurers Association, it's just a little bit."

There are still only a few contacts, but some of the people I've met in this world, the woman in front of me, are the least familiar. As a result, Reurus straightened his spine and waited for Natalia's words, and Natalia pointed to Reurus' money with a smoke pipe with a serious face.

"Boy, the money is yours. I don't care how you use it. You can drink, you can buy a whore, you can spend it on gambling... but if it's true, I didn't get the money."

Reurus said so and dropped his gaze on a cloth bag containing silver coins.

The money that was first acquired in this world was obtained as a consideration for the extermination of monsters. But, as Natalia put it, it would not have been possible to get it.

Nicolas and Sharon, the adventurers' predecessors, were the only ones who were able to earn it, and I don't think Reurus alone would have earned so much money by killing monsters. On the contrary, he could have lost his life.

"No matter how many adventurers I fight against monsters with, some children die in the first place. Some children lose their arms and legs, even if they don't die. In that respect, you are blessed. I was able to finish my first round satisfied with my five bodies."

The junior monster, the Horn Rabbit, was also killed. If Reurus had fought alone, it would be unlikely that he would have stood here alive now. Whether or not you were able to escape and return even if you were lucky, even if you were wounded, and even if you were lucky enough to overlap.

"- Well, what the hell do you spend your money on?

I understand what Natalia wants to say to that word.

This silver coin was acquired because of Nicolas and Sharon. Not to mention a bubble, it is a precious money that Reurus could never get on his own.

Even though Reurus fought, the money, which was evenly split in triplicate between Reurus, a new adventurer, and Nicolas and Sharon, a single adventurer, is far “heavy” compared to its amount and simple weight.

Given the contribution in battle and so on, Reurus would have received half of his current rewards. Why is it that Nicolas and Sharon are not complaining even though they are equally divided into three equal parts?

(Maybe Nicolas and the others were the same at first....)

Probably a small gift for someone who's “close to home.” It can be said to be a celebration of being able to finish the first line.

(So, how do you spend the money after making them understand it?)

As Natalia said, you can spend it on alcohol. But beyond living as an adventurer, how should I spend it when I get a certain amount of money?

Well, I understand what you're trying to say.

"... yes. Fine then."

Did you feel from Reurus' expression that he understood properly rather than from his mouth? Natalia withdrew honestly, without saying anything more.

"So, Ooi-san, this is the last meal. Please accept it."

Reurus, who had left the Adventurers Association, headed for Dominic's restaurant. And when I came into the store and found Dominic, I gave him a cloth bag containing silver coins and said so.

Natalia said she could use it for anything, but I couldn't think of any further use as a realuse, and I couldn't think of anything else to use.

If you think of yourself as an adventurer, you should buy your own equipment, but even equipment lent by the Adventurers Association can hunt monsters, so you're behind.

"I told you before. I wish you'd been in my way and gone invisible to my daughter. It's a lot of money."

However, Dominique glanced at Reurus who offered a cloth bag containing silver coins when he entered the store, waving his hand to get rid of the wild dog. Reurus opens the mouth of the cloth bag and shows the silver coins inside, but Dominic's reaction remains the same.

"No, no, I can understand what he meant, but I'm still alive because he fed me the mess back then. I don't think this money paid off, but I finally got a decent price...."

"I don't need it. You can use it."

"Gunu... tough"

Seven silver coins that are huge for Reurus. With just a glimpse of it, Reurus accidentally bites his teeth into Dominic's figure.

If you say you don't want it, I want to keep it in my pocket, but it is really bad to sit down and leave the favor given. Does it make you feel like a former Japanese, or is it too generous to ignore?

"Corona, come here. My uncle will give you some change."

"Uncle... it's Reurus already. If Mr. Reurus were your uncle, I'd be your grandmother.

I tried to give Corona money as a next best measure, but Corona just smiled and didn't come near me. I'm kidding about petty cash, but I'm sure Reurus is serious about giving you the full amount.

Dominic and Corona don't think they gave thanks, which is a nasty story for Reurus. However, you won't receive the silver coin as it is, and even if you force it to be pressed, it seems to be left as it is.

"Then we have to contribute with sales! Hey, let me eat 700 yura!

"I'm preparing to open the store now. Besides, if it's 700 yuan, it's 100 servings. I don't have enough ingredients."

Should I open the store? And I have to pay for the ingredients...!?

It was a revulsion that made Dominic breathe rougher when he paid for it in any form, but Dominic threw a tawashi that hit his forehead and flipped over. Dominic turned his dazed gaze to the floor-loading Reurus, then moved his gaze to Corona.

"Corona, show the fool to the shoe shop while you go shopping. The equipment will be lent by the union, so it's fine, but at least let them wear“ decent ”shoes."

"Then you have to buy clothes, right? Yeah, I got it!

A conversation like that takes place between Dominic and Corona, with Reurus trying to wake him up while rubbing his forehead.

When he heard that, Reurus dropped his shoulders wondering if there was more to be gained.
