Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 585: Dorothy City Guru

Yes... you know, about us, that's all right?

More, as many handymen as...

I get it. Ask me anything.

It's the first time people have helped me in the city.

If I can repay you at all, I'll tell you anything.

Um... warm rice, thank you.

Yesterday, even before that, I hadn't eaten anything, and I couldn't move, and I was wondering what to do.

Thank you.

Why the pair?

We're from the same village.

I'm John, and this is Elmer.

Elmer came out of town with me under one of mine.

My brother came out of town four years ago, did an adventurer, and that's why I'm here to take care of him.

But when I came, he didn't have a brother, and the receptionist told me he was retired, he wasn't in the city.

They showed me something tingly, but neither me nor Elmer can read the letters, but they told me.

My brother isn't here anymore.

Anyway, I wanted to get paid and register, but I don't know how to work, and my brother was going to take care of me, so I don't have much money, and I don't have anywhere to live.

Now... something's going on, I can't say.

I sleep in an inn I just hid with a cloth under the bridge.

I've been noisy in the morning, and I haven't slept well in some dirty place.

However, the innkeepers taught me and now I live hunting slimes.

It's cheap, but we can only hunt with sticks.

If you're a kid like us, you're small enough to get into the back of the city sewer and hunt for slime.

Something about slime. The round one in the middle is going to be some kind of ingredient.

However, if it rains, the slime will be flushed out of the sewer, and if you drown, it's dangerous, so you won't be able to take much off.

Nice place, they've been in this city for a long time, and we're not getting anywhere.

I also went to the Adventurer Guild because the rain couldn't get the slime off and I was looking for a job.

I was in front of the bulletin board, and I heard that if you look over there, you have a job.

But neither me nor Elmer can read the letters, and they say they need money to have them read.

If I had that kind of money, I'd be eating dinner.

She asked me if I had a job carrying luggage, but I couldn't because my outfit was dirty, or because I seemed thin and powerless.

Dirty is where I live and because I crawl around the sewer to hunt slime, and thin is because I haven't eaten dinner, and there's nothing I can do about that, but if I could read what it says on that bulletin board, I might be able to do something about it for a second, and I was called out when I saw it.

Honestly, I was afraid to follow you.

But me and Elmer were getting stuck, and I was hungry and cold anyway, and I don't care, it wouldn't be any worse than it is now.

Yes, I'll be careful this time.

This workshop is amazing. I've never been into a building that's so big and has so many things. There's so many metal tools and...

Excuse me. I'm a retard and I'm worried about something else.

My mother always told me I was restless in the village.

Uh, that's why I'm an adventurer, and we're still short. Is it going to be about three months?

Years? I'm 14, Elmer's 13.

I could have been in the village for another year or so, but I don't have a field for me, and I came out wanting to be an adventurer like my brother and send him to the village.

But it's not really a send-off.

Anyway, now I hunt slime, earn bitches, eat stinky wheat porridge in the stalls, and sleep in the inn under the bridge.

That's all I did.

She said she was going to get sick, so yeah, but we're kind of like washing our bodies when we go outside the city because people in the city look bad when they get close to the wells they use.

I had no choice when I got sick, and that's when.

Rice, it was warm.

Thank you.
