As soon as I returned to the inn run by Mr. Merck for the first time in a long time, Lila, a senior adventurer, welcomed me.
The next thing I know, Merck, with the same grumpy look on his face, finally came to realize that we were back in the Kingdom of Hendil.
"I'm going..."
Three days have passed since I returned to the Kingdom of Hendil.
In front of the inn's doorway, Reefa, who is now dying expression, is further shrinking its little back.
You look like a student who has to go to school for the summer vacation......
"Don't you like it enough to look like that?"
"Yeah."
You don't have to snort with such confidence......
But you know it's important for Reefa to learn in the castle, too, and the reluctance seems to go so right.
"Gaining knowledge is a power reserved for those who are allowed to think. Making use of it is unparalleled. Encourage me, Reefa."
"Because."
Reefa nods at Schiff's encouragement.
What's the date, like a half month to a month?
The period is vague, but we have to help Reefa keep her from breaking her heart on a daily basis.
"In the meantime, I'll try my best"
"Yeah, that's how it goes"
"Well, I'll normally be back in the afternoon,"
That's what she said, waving her hand toward the castle.
As I'm dropping her off, the blue-haired girl from behind - Lyla talks to me.
"Did Reefa go somewhere?"
"Oh, just now."
"It is.... Kate, what about you?"
I'm going to the guild now.
Jessica gave me permission, so I'll get a quick, simple request from the Alliance.
"Oh, well, I'll be there, too, so wait!"
With a bitter smile at Lyla going upstairs in a hurry, I also check the luggage I was preparing earlier.
I didn't take the tool knife for combat that I always carry, and now I only have a water bottle with lime and a bag with money, medicines and other things in this world.
"I'm not fighting, and I don't know if I can do this."
"Uhm. For the time being, let's just relax and do the request!"
"Cu!"
Nodding at the whining of Schiff and Lime, who agree with my whining.
Long time no guild.
I'm not looking forward to it.
●
Adventurer's Guild headed with Lyla as she finished preparing her luggage.
On the way there, she didn't look so surprised, though I told her I would avoid a battle system request.
I know what it's like to go home on an expedition and make a big request! Besides, Mr. Kite, there was that commotion, the return of the kingdom of Firgen, all the more so! Super understandable!! '
——— And he understood so much that he thought of it as an excuse and I mean... I didn't even need the trouble to explain it.
...... Veterans are still different!!
With that in mind, Lyla and I split up in the guild, and I head to the reception as I look around the face of the guild I'm used to seeing.
"Long time no see, Mai"
"... ah! It's been a really long time, Mr. Kite! Shiv and Lime are looking good."
"Um, your servant's still bright."
"Cu"
Mai, the first guild clerk I ever met.
She seems to be at the reception today, and she brightened her expression when she saw my face.
"I heard you were on an expedition to the kingdom of Philgen, but you were fine!? Though I heard it was in the march of the giant beast!"
"Ha, I helped you repel it, but it wasn't dangerous. Reefa, too, isn't here now, but she's fine."
"Oh well. Good for you."
Let's move on to the request, explaining it as unwarranted.
In my case, if I get too prudent, I'm going to lose it. [M]
"Would it be okay if I took the request now?"
"Of course I'm fine. Is it a combat system, as usual?"
"No, for a while, I've been thinking about getting a request that isn't a crusade or extermination relationship..."
"Uh, after we got into a big fight. So hey. Um, okay. I'll find it."
Mai wraps the requisition around the bundle.
He politely offers me one at a time, whining, "This or not," and "This is okay too," as he identifies some candidates.
"Um, is there something I can start now or something?"
"Then this is it."
They show me one of those requisitions.
We need sudden manpower! Ask him to be proud of his power! '.
From what I've seen, architectural work? I put up a request this morning and saw that the fact that you want me to come right away is quite chopped up.
"I take this request"
"Yes. Well, good luck with that."
Having completed the process quickly, I bow back to Mai, who waves at me, and head to where my client is.
●
The content of the request was architectural work, as expected.
My client seems to be a carpenter who does architecture with his hands without magic, but today one of his men is unable to come due to a sudden illness, so he decided to make a request.
"While..."
"Don't push it, kite."
Transport bulk loads of wood to the carriage to the location of the building to be built.
The first thing I was instructed to do was quite simple, but only today I find the task even painful.
Anyway, the sky is a cloudless blue sky.
The shining sun is always pouring down on me, unscrupulous, hot and spicy.
"Hakuro, I'm sorry. May I ask for the wind?"
"Wow!"
The translucent wolf that emerged from my body, the hawk, gives me the wind.
All right, the heat of the lit sun hasn't changed, but this has gotten a little better.
I wipe my forehead as I lower the wood on my shoulder to where I was instructed to go, and my back is accidentally slapped.
"Wow."
"Ha-ha-ha, hey, thanks for the help. Brother! My young one didn't hit his back!"
It's this time my client, Mr. Kittan, who's going to slap me on the back so well.
I'm a carpenter of sixty-two years old, but I'm a better person than I can imagine from my age.
"Ha ha, I've been asked to do this as well, so I'll make sure you get to the end of it"
"Oh, I trust the guild adventurers here!"
Rick told me that the guild is built on trust during an exam to become an adventurer.
I have to work hard, too, as the other adventurers have lived up to the trust of the people of this country.
"Hmm? That's a little heavy."
Have one loaded on the carriage to carry the next piece of wood.
But it weighs a lot because it was a piece of wood that was about as big as the earlier one.
"Don't use physical enhancement."
"I know. Hey, hey!"
In the meantime, hold the wood and pull it up so that it can be held aside, in order to get it off the carriage.
When I caged my strength in my hand, I held it from my right hand in the form of an accidental pull! Something sounded crushing.
At that moment, I lose my balance and I lose my posture behind me.
"--Huh?"
The sound of wood falling on the ground.
I didn't have to fall too far, but what was the sound I heard from hand...?
When I saw it on hand, there were fragments of crushed wood in my hand and partially scraped wood rolled at my feet.
"This is..."
Did I smash it with my bare hands?
I can't believe how soft a tree, though I did have the strength to decide wood with my bare hands...... no...
"Whoa, what's up!?"
I hear the sound of wood falling, and Mr. Kittan is coming.
He looked at me alternately with the wood and sighed loudly.
"This looks like it was corroded. Totally rotten wood. What do you think they're coming for?... Oops, are you hurt?"
"Yeah..."
"I'm sorry. I'll see if the other wood is rotten, so you can rest a little. You look pale, and you'd better get some moisture while you can."
"Yes, thank you......"
Leaving the scene staring at his palm.
Until now, I had no idea how much power I had.
But could it have happened just now...
"... sif"
"No, you didn't use physical enhancement."
"Yeah, right."
The wood was chosen by bare hands without the use of physical strengthening.
The wood could have been really rotten, but if it had been done with the power of the vegetables, it would have been unthinkable when I was in the original world.
Schiff looks up at me with great concern, but I am confused by the changes that have happened to me myself.
The fact that I showed considerable arm strength without physical strengthening...
Finally, my muscle debut.
"No, wait, not what I was worried about"
- Because after all my training, my grip has exploded.
I so admired apple crushing with one hand or something somewhere in my mind, but now I feel like I can.
"But you're asking more than that! Maybe I should explain to Mr. Kittan that it wasn't corrosion."
"Ooh. Sometimes I'm amazed at your unclear positivity…"
Next time, let's not accidentally crush it.
With that in mind, I headed back to the carriage to get back to work on the lumber.
