Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Kenji, I need to talk to you.

"... yes"

I sat cautiously face to face with Priest Niccolò.

I know what is going to happen.

The usual one, "Stop living like an adventurer and become a priest."

But today we have a slightly different argument for persuasion.

Priest Niccolò, who usually attacks me with a slice of logic, carefully tells me what the best path for me is from both a rational and a rational point of view.

"Kenji... why don't you stop being a priest and become a priest?" If you want to live for adventurers so much, you can set up seats for adventurers in the church. In fact, there are moves in the current church that the adventurer's guild should be taken from the local nobility and placed as a direct organization of the church. It means that the role of connecting the church and the adventurer will be publicly necessary.

Now is the time to support Kenji's role as a former adventurer as a large organization. If you really want to improve the status of adventurers, there will be more adventurers you can actually save if you become a former adventurer priest. Isn't that right? Or do you just want to keep being an adventurer? "

I mean... I guess.

I guess so.

Certainly, I've been living as an adventurer in this world for a while after being suddenly thrown into it.

After a tortuous process, he now earns coins as the main owner of the shoe factory, and he also manages the territory as a result.

I am proud to have been fully committed to the work in front of me.

It's also my subtlety.

However, there are no days when you don't ask yourself how many adventurers you have been able to help through your work and how you have done your best.

More to the point, I still wonder if I am an adventurer, or if living in a city within a wall with ease is just self-deception when I call myself an adventurer.

Priest Niccolò's points were always logical and sharp enough to poke his own stray.

Yes... if you really want to save the adventurer, you need status and power.

It's time to be more ready to bear fruit than you think.

Maybe it's a yearly contribution.

I sighed and nodded.

And the golden wheat hoarfruit shall be hanging, and it shall be said unto them, The church will be glad to receive you. "

Priest Niccolò added after complacency.



The first instruction given by Priest Niccolò to himself, who accepted to become a priest, was surprising.

"Kenji, you have to fulfill Ichi's duty first."

"Is it the duty of Ichii? You want me to clean up my business?"

Many people enter the church to obtain the status of a priest and at the same time give away their private property.

However, the shoe factory now provides food for a large number of citizens, craftsmen, and orphans working on the leather streets, and it also pays for the shoes of the cardinal.

The riches are tax revenues that flow from the vast territory before the establishment, and many priests flow richly.

It may have been sweet of you to trample on that you would have missed it as usual.

"No, it's not."

Priest Niccolò denied my faded answer.

"So...?"

I wonder if you have ever been… obliged to stand up as an adventurer of flowers, start a shoe factory and put it on track, and not fulfill your obligations even after you bought your citizenship?

"I should have paid the per capita tax..."

Priest Niccolò shook his head in amazement.

It seems that this is also incorrect.

"It's a marriage, Kenji, you have to finish your wife's belt before you become a priest. There would have been a red-haired daughter."

”... hah?”

Right now, I feel like the words most unsuitable for that personality have been puked from the mouth of Priest Niccolò.

"Did you say you were married?"

"That's right, I'll marry and have a wife while I'm still Ichi." A de facto marriage after becoming a priest cannot be said to be an attitude rich in faith. It would be hard for a woman to be a shady person. On the contrary, those who enter the life of faith in Ichii, while they are wife-belongers, earn respect as awakened people. So let's get married. Next month will be a good time. The church speaks to the priests of the second district. "

Just to say what I wanted to say, Priest Niccolò quickly left.

"... Married?"

After that, I was the only one left in the room who couldn't go to the sudden developments.



I was able to return to the shoe factory on Leather Street before the sun set.

The craftsmen's work sounds are annoying, but when they hear the noise, they calm down, so it's strange.

Leaving the workshop and going to the office, Sarah waited worriedly.

Are you okay? Were you able to press on with the nonsense again?

Sarah's priesthood is terrible.

However, since I have not been busy until now when I was summoned by Priest Niccolò, my worries are based on facts and statistics.

"No, I didn't."

Yes, that's good. Then I can make you some tea.

Yeah.

I usually think about the workshop and my work while I wait, but I don't feel that way today.

Looking at Sarah in the background, she was chopping the herb leaves from the bowl she had planted near the window.

Redheads clustered behind her head bounce like a horse's tail in the evening sunlight from a window.

Somehow I remembered the appearance of a horse running through the golden meadow.

"Hey... what if I told you I'd become a priest?"

Fittingly, Sarah, who was cutting a thousand leaves, solidified her posterior figure.

"... have you been recommended again?"

Yeah.

"Priest Niccolò, there's no punishment."

That's right.

After a moment of silence, Sarah uttered her words.

The end of the line sounded a little trembling.

"... do you take it?"

"... yeah. It's getting harder to say no." It seems that the golden wheat eel is the one that is dripping. "

"That's right... congratulations... you're a big hit."

Sarah answered quietly and began to shake her shoulders as she leaned down with her back turned.

"However, it seems that there are conditions." Fulfill the obligations of Ichii. "

……

I got up from my chair and put my hand on Sarah's trembling shoulder.

“Marry me, Sarah. I need Sarah's help to face the challenges of my life ahead."

"... what? What? What do you mean!?"

Sarah turned to face me with a lot of energy, and she had a bad face with a runny nose and tears.

It was a very serious scene, but it almost burst out unexpectedly.

"That's why I told you to be with me before I became a priest."

"... you're going to be a priest, so you weren't talking about breaking up or abandoning it?"

"What did you think I was doing?"

In the first place, I don't want to be in danger when I'm charged with a crime, so I said I didn't do anything after I took my citizenship.

Then, Sara's body bumped silently as her bones gurgled.

As expected of a former adventurer's archer. Strong.

I don't mind rubbing my nose and runny nose and tears on my chest, but I feel painful when my jaw touches my red-headed knob.

I made him feel uncomfortable for a while and waited for a reply.

But I can't get an answer.

I asked politely while being held firmly and forcefully.

"So, what do you say?" Can I get back to you? "

After tens of seconds of silence.

"I can give you..."

And a reply came from under her chin in a small voice.

By the way, it seems that the exchange between me and Sarah was a barrel break for the artisans in the workshop, especially the wife.

When I came out of the office, I was blessed by the various artisans who whistled and stepped on my feet, and I was extremely embarrassed.

Sarah's face turned brighter and smaller than her red hair.

Thus, I fulfilled "Ichii's duty" before becoming a priest.
