Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 326: The Painters' Tale

"First of all, Elan's painting is pretty good. Is the painting self-taught?

With that said, Elan's face, then he stares at the back of his hand, young. Instead, he looks young.

Human age is in hand. Even if your face is deluded, it is difficult to delude the age at hand.

Not even while I'm still an adult, maybe 15 or 6 years old.

"Elan, how old are you now?

"I'm 18."

"Be honest with me. I didn't ask you to pay for it."

"... I'm 15"

And I say it in a slightly infidel way.

"Fifteen!

And Sarah next door speaks up low.

I may have seen and sympathized with my sisters for the quote that popped out of the merchant, the boy who lives that day in the invisible adventurer operation ahead.

After a begging Sarah's gaze, I decided to make a few arrangements.

"So Elan wants to keep the adventurer running? If you have a fight and it's just hard to get back, you can mediate."

If you were a junior at the merchant, you should somehow apologize and go back and keep working.

Adventurer operation is a dangerous and rough affair.

With a few exceptions, it's a world where the big, tall, armed, cautious and impatient grow up.

And there is a tough survival competition waiting for those who die or become imperfect and retire within a few years.

As far as Elan's lean and low stature goes, it doesn't look like he has a way to go as an adventurer.

Elan keeps her mouth shut, so I'm done for now.

"Well, fine. If that bothers you, call me. Next, Franz. Sure, like we used to meet?

When asked that, Franz extended his spine and answered aloud.

"Yes! I used to show Sarah the store!

"Right. So, is the painting self-taught?

"Yes! No! When I was in the village, I learned from the priest!

In some rural areas, clergy who have gone to church may become educators to educate peasants.

More or less, education often ends up empty before the incomprehension of local farmers and the reality that children are also needed as a workforce, but it seemed like a lucky exception for Franz.

"Then you can also read and write letters?

"Yes! To the priest, I learned the whole way!

"How's the calculation going?

"If it's not a very large number, you can! I remember helping the priest!

This guy could be an unexpected pick up.

But if that's all I can do, I don't think I need to be an adventurer.

"Why are you being an adventurer? If that was all we could do, we would have done a lot to get into the merchant house, go for the priesthood path, right?

"Yes! I'm a big eater, so I thought I'd pick a way to eat my belly full! Besides, I like to move my body!

And I answer cheerfully and aloud.

Pfft, and I heard Sarah blowing out next door.

I can't see my face because I'm looking down, but my shoulder and redhead ponytail are shaking slightly.

"I see..."

I've tried recruiting people who can paint, but in this world it also seems to work as a filter that can bring together elementary educated people.

This is an unexpected discovery.

Then Kilik, who stood behind him as an escort, rarely pinched his mouth.

"Captain, may I speak for myself?"

When I nodded, Kirik spoke to Franz.

"Franz, are you going to come to the Sword Tooth Corps? As an apprentice, but I'll feed you hungry meals."

It was a scout from an unexpected place.

"Oh, I'm the swordtooth soldier..."

Speaking of swordtooth soldiers, it's the number one clan in this city that can't even be pushed now.

Being scouted for being an apprentice there is a dazzling opportunity from a runaway adventurer.

The tail of Franz's voice trembles, too, there is no need.

"What do you say? You're not gonna tell me twice, are you?

Encouraged by Kirik, Franz replied by stretching his spine as he regained his posture.

"Yes! Thank you for your help!

Because of this, it took the form of a human being scratched from the side, but I don't feel bad.

The Sword Tooth Corps continues to expand, and even one needs a capable human being.

People like Franz who can write and count are valuable.

Besides, maybe in the long run Franz will accompany the Sword Tooth Corps expedition to make them paint monsters.

It's about Kilik, so I guess Jilboa included me around it.

"I'm sorry, Captain."

And Kirik apologizes to me as a muscle.

"Fine, it'll be better for him."

That said, Zilboa seems to collect information about the monster independently, so it has been necessary to negotiate later so that it can be made public to other adventurers as well.

I'm going to have a headache right now about what exchange conditions they're going to give me.

Doing so, Elan, who had been silent since earlier, bowed his head all the way down to the ground.

"Mr. Kenzi, hire me at the workshop!

And I've begged.
