For being away from work for over a month, all my colleagues welcomed me with pleasure. I forgot to buy souvenirs, so I was relieved to know who responded without getting angry when I hurried to see some sweets before work and handed them to each and every one of them. When I told Mr. Camille that I felt that way after the reception work had dropped, she slapped me in the back with a laugh.

"I care too much about you, Lapis. Not only this guild, but most adventurers know how busy you are. If it's just reception and training, you even work for a brave party to make noise, right? No one complains about a hard-working human being. Assuming you were there, I wouldn't let you."

"I'm counting on you"

Thanks to Mr. Camille, who puts his arms around me and shows his strength, I was finally able to lower my chest.

It's been a long time - not enough to say - but with a little free time, it feels fresh to say reception work. With more activity as a brave party than normal work these days, time was felt so precious that no sword, no magic, and no one would get hurt. But there's the Adventurer Guild. Only the bloody guy's gathering place, and the rubbing happens frequently. Basically, the guild has a policy of not speaking out among adventurers, except when there is damage around or against public order. The adventure-style men who came into the guild drunk started getting tangled up in a party of young men and women about the same age as me as the rookie, so I decided to head over to the party with my arms around them.

"Lapis. Don't overdo it."

"I know, Mr. Camille. I'll take care of it."

"Then it would be good..."

I feel like my ratings in the guild have changed a lot lately. One end of it appeared in what is now Mr Camille's dialogue. Thank you. I seem to have the perception that if I rub it, I am in danger of waging violence as a delight, and I am in a very unwilling state as a good citizen. Neither that nor this, the brave man of the Rebble Empire - Barbaros is bad - who caused me to blow my notoriety. If he hadn't set up the extra little one, I would have been a big receptionist by now as just a pretty girl.

"- So I'm telling you there's nothing I can do for you guys!

"I'm telling your sister, not you! It's ten years early for a kid to serve a woman!

"You think so too, sister!? Better us than such an unreliable boy!?

"Yes, that's it."

Turning around behind the two drunks, I grabbed the root of it without telling them whether or not to. Two men rushing out. Naturally, the height difference is such that the men's bodies do not rise, but my hands are not stiff and slight as they were fixed with all my might.

"Knock... knock...!

"Fix it...!

"Where do you think we are? Did you think it was a lovely place? You're not involved in business, you're adventurers, are you?

The adventurers around them look intrigued at what happens. Most of them know what I'm capable of, they're just looking at me with a bitter smile, and the rest of them were circling their eyes at my strength. He's probably an adventurer from another city. In the meantime, although the men continued to resist in a madness of death, it is impossible to launch an attack on me that originally stands more directly behind them. When his complexion turned blue through the red and he let go of his hand around changing to purple, the men collapsed all together to the ground.

"Ha...!

"Gu...! You're so lame...!

"Apologize properly to both of you. That way, I'll do it without penalty this time. Or would you like to be strangled again?

Staring at the guillotine with only a little kill, the men lowered their heads to the pair that were in a hurry and fled from the guild with the other body.

"Mr. Boulder! Brilliant arrangement!

"They did something stupid, too. I can't believe I'm involved with a rookie in a teacher's guild."

"Not at all. Didn't you know this guild was less rubbing than the others because of the teacher?

"Doctor, you're so sweet!

The adventurers who were watching are flattering me - flattering me, aren't they? Still, they call me a teacher from these bad galas... I know that's what people call you after my lecture at the training center, but depending on what you hear, it's like some kind of liquor store or casino bat. It's not the way you call a pretty girl like this.

"Oh, um... thank you"

One crack in the pair that was tangled up - the girl, she said so and bowed her head to me. I see, she's a beautiful girl who understands that the people just now want to get involved. In addition to the wavy flax hair and neat shapes, there is a fluffy, gentle atmosphere somewhere. And she was such a beautiful girl that she wanted to say, "Here's the girl," a voice that reassured people. I laugh to reassure her like that.

"Don't worry about it. It is also the staff's job to solve the rubbing in the guild. Are you two more adventurers than that?

"Uh... I just signed up the other day. But we don't have a lot of work to do."

There are a lot of jobs that can be done by a hanging adventurer, but many newcomers get jobs just like that, so it's often a deal. Anyway, at first, by doing the work several times, I grasped the situation around the area, and I got up early from the target person to the next rank. Maybe these two haven't noticed the difference in the number of requests sticking out depending on the time frame.

"Aren't guilds tough on beginners? No matter how hard you try, you can only live the life of a cutlet.

It was the boy who was sheltering the girl from the drunkenness just now who said that in an eight-win mood. A girl is trying to stop me with a rushed look at that attitude that I can even take when I'm putting on a claim, but the boy is excited about his words or not trying to pull them off.

"I don't think it's strict. You're paying the right kind of reward, regardless of rank, right?

"Still......! That's not a lot of work in itself! I can't make a living on a request alone with this!

Some of the adventurers who heard him scream, clapping their shoulders as if they were frightened. Escaped from beginners, all of them living as adventurers have been independent since they went through the same downward age that boys have now screamed. If you don't have a job in the guild, you earn a day job, and if you don't have food, you go to nearby woods and outgrow hunger with animals, nuts, etc. Yet I guess the two newcomers who don't even try to make such an effort and think they can handle just the request of the guild are the only objects of fright for them.

"Stop it, Rick! You saved my life, but you're rude!

"But, Amy, we're actually still in pain!

"Yes, yes, that's it! If you make too much noise, you'll stumble out like you were drunk earlier!

The two people who were about to get hot remembered an earlier drunk or suddenly started to shut up and frighten.... So why would you react like that?

"What are we doing here, and shall we talk in the back?

…………

A pair of people nodding in silence. When I sighed, I led them to the Guild Lounge, apologizing to Mr. Camille with my eyes open. Common adventurers are intrigued by rarely experienced events because they can't get in ahead of the Alliance counter. With such a bitter smile, I make tea for three and recommend a seat to both of them. The two, seated in awe, reached for a snack and a drink.

"Uh... are you sure it's Amy to Rick? Is it tough just for the adventurer's job?

"... oh. I thought we had as much work to do in a big city. Yet..."

Rick's hand placed on the table was gripped hard. I must have thought that when I came to this city I could do a lot of work and live a smooth, full sail adventurer's life.

"There is. The demon crusade itself is on the rise, and adventurers are flowing from the margins for it. Because the number of beginners like you is increasing, it may not be possible to feel less."

"I knew..."

"But we're all on the same terms, right? Did you guys make an effort to win the request before anyone else did?

Hand blocking Rick in the face like he won, and I keep talking. Maybe these two are the type of people who come out of the country admiring adventurers. So for better or worse, I'm relaxed somewhere, and I don't have enough Hungry spirit to be in an urban adventurer.

"Effort... is it sword or magic training or something? If you take out a strong demon, that's all you'll be trusted by the Alliance -"

"No, I'm not. That's not what I'm saying. Specifically, you can line up in front of your guild in the morning or get close to a skilled adventurer and increase people's connections. There are only a limited number of requests for beginners, so we're working on them early in the morning. So if I had come after noon like you guys, I wouldn't have a lot of work left."

"Oh no..."

You didn't assume that at all, the two of you are a little stunned.

"And connect with skilled adventurers… but there's nothing limited to adventurers. The point is to make connections. Sometimes when you get along with a skilled adventurer, you get invited to a lighter job, or you get to share the extra material. If you get along with the owner of the inn, you may be able to deduct a little from the price of the accommodation or put on a meal when you stay. Sometimes when you get along with accepting guilds, you can give me information about requests you haven't stuck out yet. That would make it a lot different just to use all kinds of handouts to make your life easier, wouldn't it? That's what I said was missing from you guys. Clarified, you should think it's from the iron that you can eat just the work of the adventurer. Bronze is common sense."

…………

You two look speechless when you're stuck with a tough reality. Must have come out of the country with a dream. I think it's pathetic, but there's nothing I can do. When I thought it would taste bad if I threw it out like this, I came up with one idea.

"Right. It must be on the edge of something that we met here. If you guys are free anyway, aren't you willing to try one job? 'Cause I'll never let you lose it."

The two of you put your necks to my suggestion. Two hundred gold coins I got in Barrios. I finally figured out how to use that large sum of money that I didn't spend just because I got it.
