I read about this world in Mr. Daijiro's book to some extent, but I still think I need to find out for myself.

Of course I'm not saying I don't believe in that book, but it didn't say anything about taxes to get into town, or crystal spheres that could discern the profession, or about unemployed skills.

I think it's the first time I've seen and confirmed the information myself. Not only did I read the company profile in the dossier to get a job, but I actually gave him a tour of the factory or something in private time, and then I challenged him for an interview. I say, for sure.

Well, that automotive company was dropped in the pre-interview written exam, too.

When it comes to gathering information, I'd say a liquor store - but I don't like liquor.

I'm 20 years old, so although it's legal to drink, it doesn't mean that I'm 20 years old = drinking, yesterday, when it's said that alcohol separation of young people is going on.

Since the air in the tavern is visibly unsuitable for your skin, is Adventurer Guild the best way to gather information, after all?

So, as per your first purpose, to go for the Adventurer Guild.

Blue roof buildings, sword and shield signs, and destination locations were quickly found.

Wooden bungalow building. The door is left open and there are many resilient men. No, although some of them have beautiful sisters.

... you're anxious.

I don't know, there's this kind of adventurer guild, and when a guy like me walks in, there's an atmosphere of eighty-nine tangles.

So, but there's a lot of people, and you're fine, yeah.

There's no way they're selling me a fight in broad daylight.

What are you so weak about? Me, I wouldn't be farting compared to how nervous I am when I open this pre-interview door.

So I put up a sales smile, went inside the Adventurer's Guild,

"Excuse me!

I said hello out loud. I regretted it at the same time.

... I did it! At the time of the interview.

Gather your gaze at once, but most adventurers quickly lost interest or looked back, and several adventurers were looking at me.

But, well, it seems a little safe not to get tangled up.

I step forward, go to an empty desk, and say hello.

"Nice to meet you, Kusu... No, my name is Ichinojo"

I tried to call him "Kusu no Iyi no Suki", but this is a different world. Let's name Ichinojo more than my status is Ichinojo.

"Welcome, welcome to the Adventurer Guild. What can I do for you today?

It was the beautiful receptionist with amber eyes in her brown hair who greeted her so.

And those ears are growing on top, not next to their faces...

- Fox ears. Ah!

I was there to unwittingly rejoice. No, it doesn't mean I like beasts, but, uh, here's the thing, you feel a man's romance.

A gentle peek across the counter revealed his tail hidden. I admire being paralyzed there.

And I suspect it's time to tell you something. Interview mode.

"I hunted three rabbits on the road and asked if you could buy them here. Is it possible to buy it?

"Really? First, please submit your Adventurer's Certificate"

"... Adventurer's Certificate?

"Yes, you will receive a certificate that you are an adventurer if you have transferred to a combat position in the Temple. Sorry, we can't buy from anyone other than adventurers."

... that means you can't sell items in the Adventurer Guild if you remain unemployed?

"Combat jobs are conditioned by hunters who can transfer at Civilian Level 5 as soon as possible. If you're an adult male and you pay taxes, it's a profession you can all be."

"... uh, how to be an adventurer without changing careers?

"None."

"I'd really like to use the Adventurer Alliance as it is today."

"Sorry, I can't do it by the rules"

... Oh, no.

No, this is also a good opportunity, if we raise the level of joblessness to some extent, we'll think about changing jobs.

Think about it, isn't this a positive message from God to me about getting a job in another world?

"Hello, Mr. Kathusha"

When I was thinking, a man spoke to the receptionist from behind.

He's a refreshing uncle with long silver hair, probably around 45.

"Hello, Mr. Mathias. Um, I'd like you to avoid sales within the guild if you can."

"Okay. Master Ichinojo, right?

How did you get my name? And, oh, you heard me around because my voice was big.

"Now that I hear a little talk, you want to sign up for the Adventurer Guild for everything, but you don't want to change your current profession. Then there's a good way."

"... Huh?

Good way? Backgammon again?

"Um, Mr. Mathias, so sales within the guild..."

"Excuse me, Mr. Kathusha. Okay, I'll explain. Please come this way. Rest assured, me and Mr. Kathusha are close friends. No one is bad for a friend of the Alliance staff."

No, you're here.

It's more suspicious to say that you're not a suspicious person.

But is this some kind of fate, too? Like this, isn't it working like you're destined to keep me unemployed?

Leaving the guild, Matthias started explaining to me as he walked.

"A variety of guilds exist, not only the Adventurer Guild, but also the Alchemy Guild, the Blacksmith Guild and the Fisherman's Guild, and you have to become a specific profession to belong to that guild. But there's one way to benefit from the Alliance without changing careers."

Matthias said with his fingers up.

"You just have to set up a surrogate. For example, if you want to sell ravioli, you can ask someone who is already an adventurer to sell them instead."

Well, that does work.

"Isn't that against the rules?

"No, this is an act of guild silence. Of course, we need an intermediate margin."

"You mean there's a fee? I mean, you think Mr. Mathias is that adventurer, and you're gonna sell my items instead?

"No, I'm not an adventurer. We run a slave trade."

Slaver?

Slave traders, you know... you mean sell slaves?

Wow, you're serious. Human trafficking?

Though I knew in Mr. Didgelow's notes that there were slaves, I thought they were somewhere far away.

"Oh, when it comes to slavery, the treatment of slaves in this country is not such a bad thing. Because it is my husband's duty to provide food and shelter, and he will be punished by the state if he is badly treated."

Matthias explained when he saw my complexion go bad.

Mm, but I don't know.

Slaves really suck at their image.

"We not only sell slaves, we also rent them. Renting depends on people, five senses an hour. The meat is ten cents a piece, and usually 30% will be the intermediate margin of the adventurer, so if you sell three, 30% of the thirty cents, nine cents will be for the adventurer's share, and 21 cents will be for the Icino Joe-sama. But once you rent a slave, thirty cents leaves your stuff with 25 cents even if you pay five copper coins for the rental. By the way, all violence and sexual activity is forbidden against rented slaves."

Oh, then I certainly don't feel bad.

Briefly, it's a staffing assignment.

"By the way, how much is it when you buy it?

"Depending on the person, if it's a fume, it's about 1,000 to 3,000 senses."

One to three pieces of gold… from one million yen to three million yen.

It's not cheap, but I can't even say it's expensive as a human being.

"Of course, I can't say it all because some people have special skills. Our highest-priced slave is a half-wife of elves and dwarves, who is a demon sword blacksmith. Her price is ten million sence. The rental fee is 500 cents an hour"

50,000 yen an hour for rental, worth a billion yen for sale?

A Demon Sword Blacksmith is a top position as a blacksmith who processes materials and makes weapons, and they can make Demon Swords.

"There are other obligations to pay person-head taxes. You need to pay 1,000 cents a year."

100,000 yen every year...... Hmm, if a year in this world is twelve months, do you think you can handle saving less than 10,000 yen a month?

Nevertheless, should I pay five cents each time? Doesn't mean I use the Adventurer Guild every day.

Besides, we can't afford to feed our slaves in our homes.
