Shinka no Mi

"So what are we supposed to do?

Me and Salia were introducing ourselves to Altria, who would each act as our exam director, and rolling them out to the city.

The city was as vibrant as ever, unlike the guild, with a vibrant bustle.

"Oh, it's a request that you and the others do... get a chore request at first"

"Miscellaneous......? For example, what..."

"Right... there are three things Gassle guy is giving me this time..."

"Three!?"

Normally, it's an exam, isn't it one?

Mr. Altria replied with a bitter laugh as to what I was thinking.

"Well, I guess I thought it was a chance for the gussy guy to get rid of the unpopular chores all at once"

You gussy bastards......!

How can you say that properly when Gustle seems to have low abilities as an Alliance Master? Is this the only time?

"So that was what this request was about... In the meantime," Help with the orphanage, "" Dismantling the ruins, "and" Walking the dog. "

"... you're really a chore"

A dog walk is... I wish I could do it myself. If you don't like it, don't keep it...

Sure, it's all a good request to say chores, but what is' demolition of ruins'? Is that a good thing to do with chores?

"Mr. Altria."

"Am I? What's up?

"'Dismantling the Ruins'... what are you doing? I think it would be safer for a professional to dismantle a building..."

"Oh, then you'll be fine. Even if I dismantle it, I'm just gonna smash it."

"You're very cluttered."

That's appropriate. A bouldering world. Normally, I thought we were going to break it down at various stages.

Well, it looks like there was a guy screaming at the guild saying he broke things abnormally... If we leave it to him, isn't it all settled?

"Well, I see what kind of request you're going to make. So, where are you headed now?

"Hmm? It's an orphanage."

Apparently, it starts with helping the orphanage.

Now I know what to do first.

"Um... why are you so far from us?

……

Mr. Altria, for some reason, keeps a certain distance from me and Salia and doesn't try to get close.

Nothing, I don't want you to get close or anything like that, but I don't know what to say... I feel avoided.

Besides, when I got out of town, people in the city saw Mr. Altria, they kept their distance for some reason.

... What do you mean?

After all, he didn't answer any of my questions, and at some point we had arrived at a place with an orphanage.

"This is the orphanage."

"Heh, what church is this...?

Yes, the place shown to Mr. Altria was the church I saw when I arrived at this Terveil and was walking around the city.

But... if you thought it was a church, was it an orphanage?

Mr. Altria explains it politely so as to dispel my doubts.

"Sure, this is a church, but I'm also running an orphanage."

"Cheng Cheng...... by the way, what is this church religion called stuff?

Coming to different worlds and having little common sense, I decided to get as much information on these occasions as possible.

"Am I? You don't know? This is the church of Bellefeuil."

"Bellefeuil......"

I don't care, but converting 'Be' to 'Mi' would make Millefeuil. Looks delicious.

"What kind of teaching is that Bellefeuil?

"You don't know that either... Simply put, he says that demons as well as people are the same creatures, and there is no such thing as superior to their lives. Later, he said, 'There is a miracle in the loving. Love is the foundation of peace'... Were you preaching such a teaching? Love that doesn't bother others is the first step to peace."

"Heh... by the way, does that believe in God?

"No, he was real."

Awesome. He said he believed in the living... This is how they build churches.

Surely God said he wouldn't interfere in this world, and you can have a definite object of faith in the sense that you said so.

Besides, there is a miracle in the loving, or... There's an example of Zeanos, and I'm sure it doesn't mean absolutely, but still, if this is what you teach me, people of all kinds could be saved. I don't think you're the same person. It's a noble idea.

Well, it's about time there was a word for Love & Peace on Earth, and maybe the other world and Earth are the same in the sense that I said so.

With that in mind, Salia tells me with her eyes shining.

"Love... I love Makoto!

"Oh, hey!?... oh, me too"

"Eh heh!

Too unintentional......!

But Salia has nothing to be ashamed of, including when she's a gorilla and when she's a beautiful girl right now, and she can honestly express herself. That's not something we humans can do. It would be a virtue because it is Salia who has lived in the wild.

"Uh, you're not in love in a place like this. I'm embarrassed to see you."

That's what Mr. Altria told me, and for the first time, I got the sense that I was doing something embarrassing in public.

However, fortunately, there was only Mr. Altria around.

Mr. Altria, who is shyly dyeing his cheeks, unexpectedly looks far away.

"I'll never have anything to do with love."

"Huh?"

"... it's nothing. Let's get out of here."

Mr. Altria left us and walked into the church.

"Hmmm... I don't know if I did anything to piss you off..."

"I don't know... I think it's gonna be okay"

That's what Sarya said with a smile on her face. I was soothed.

◆ ◇ ◆

"I'm sorry. There's only one recruiter right now."

Entering the church and explaining the situation, an elderly Mr. Sister told us so.

But... this means we can't get a request together, right?

"Sometimes I have a young Sister who works here... and now the kid's out on a different errand. They're coming home tomorrow, but I was a little short on manpower. So, I was only looking for one person... and I only have one person's money for this request."

Is that why you and I came here?

I ask Mr. Altria because we can't deal with all this without even being new.

"Uh... what do you do if you say this?

"Ah? What are you gonna do... take it"

"I know that... doesn't one mean the other will be out of hand if he doesn't make another request? So even in the meantime, the study director, Altria, is alone..."

"Uh, is that what you mean? I don't want the exam director to be the one who gets the request here."

"Huh?"

"There is nothing particularly dangerous about the request here, and if you ask the client about the attitude being requested, you will know it in one shot. So the test director here is a decoration."

"Oh, really..."

Don't be so crisp, this guy.

But on the contrary, it would make you feel easier if you were so dry.

"Why? Which one of you will take the request here?

That's what Altria asked me when I was thinking about it while I was bawling.

And when I turned my face in Salia's direction to discuss it, Salia had a pleasant look on her face.

"Makichi! I want to!

"Huh? But... are you okay?

Not to speak of man as he is now, but Salia is a demon. How can you care for a human child?

I'm worried about you, Mr. Altria tells me as I push my laugh to death.

"Kukukuku...... temeye, nasty words after seeing yourself. Whoever sees it, it's Salia who's best suited for the occasion."

"... right"

A man in a robe like this takes care of a child... you can't do all that. Criminals stink. But hey.

By comparison, Sarya would look like a super pretty girl, and it was obvious that she was more qualified than me.

"Okay. Bye, Salia. Good luck, huh?"

"Yeah!"

Says the elderly Sister when she sees Salia nodding well.

"You've decided on your pretty little lady, haven't you?

"I say Salia. For a short time, thank you!

"Oh, thank you very much. I'm Claire Huster, director of the orphanage. Claire's fine."

Was this Dean Sister? It doesn't look that way in a different way than Gastle. I don't know what to say...... I guess because I feel common and I don't feel like a great person.

"All right, well, Salia's got all day. Good luck there. I'll pick you up after Makoto's exam."

"Yeah!"

Following Salia's reply, me and Mr. Altria left the orphanage behind.

◆ ◇ ◆

"Uh... where are you going next?

"Right... you'd better finish the 'demolition of the ruins' first. Leave a lot of trouble behind."

Sure, if it's a dog walk, I can do it at any time. It's my own pet, so I want you to go for a walk on your own... well, I guess there's a reason I can't.

While I think about the request, me and Mr. Altria are moving around the city.

All that time, Mr. Altria keeps his distance from me constant and doesn't try to come close.

The neighborhoods of the city where Mr. Altria and I are walking, there were many buildings under construction, and people like the carpenters were seen looking at each other, building their own houses, etc.

As we walked silently through the city with each other, we could see a child running this way from before.

The kid's been hanging out with his friends, running all over the place, unaware of our existence.

Then the child gained momentum in front of Mr. Altria.

"Ugh... it hurts..."

The child begins to cry while still in a state of spills.

The kid's knee rubbed off and it looked very painful from me.

As I approached her to wake the child she had fallen asleep, Mr. Altria held her child and woke her up.

"Oh, don't cry. You're a man, right?"

"Ugh..."

"Uh... that sounds painful... wait a minute. I'll make it easier for you now."

Mr. Altria said so, probably from the item box, but took one vial with green liquid from it.

Seeing that people from different worlds could have used item boxes, it wasn't unnatural for me to use item boxes, for Christ's sake.

Well, I'm glad you're out of suspicious elements.

Ms. Altria stained the handkerchief with the liquid in the vial she had removed and carefully placed it on the child's knee.

"Yikes!

"Be patient. I'll fix it."

And as I kept hitting the handkerchief on the kid's lap for a little while, the wound had disappeared beautifully until just now.

"Look, it's okay now"

"Wow! Thanks, sister!

Perhaps what was in the vial earlier was a healing pill or something. Does a healing pill heal just by applying it to the wound without taking it......

Nevertheless, I'm glad my child's injury has healed. I was going to take the finest healing pills out of the item box and cure them, too.

But Mr. Altria looks like he's going to be a lot of trouble, unlike his appearance and tone. He answers my questions with discipline.

It was when I had that feeling watching Mr. Altria and the kids.

"Oh, it's dangerous!

Such a screaming voice echoed in our ears.

I wondered what was going on, and as soon as I looked around, I could see that just in the position where Mr. Altria and his children were, something like a giant piece of wood would fall.

... not if you're calmly analyzing it!

"Mr. Altria!

It was when I immediately freed my strength and tried to take a step forward to do something about the wood as it was.

"Ha... no, I..."

That's right, Mr. Altria, whining small.

The kid doesn't know what's going on and he's stunned.

And Mr. Altria dealt with the matter sooner than I did.

"Huh!"

When Mr. Altria takes the falling wood lightly with one hand, he carefully lowers it to the ground to avoid scratching the wood as it is.

The move was very polite for aggressive behavior, and that's what I even felt as if I had a feeling this would happen from the beginning.

"... it's all right now. Just go."

"Ah..."

The boy, who returned to sanity at Mr. Altria's word, left the scene in a hurry.

"Shh, I'm sorry...... are you okay?

"Mm-hmm. I'm sorry."

A carpenter man, who would have dropped the wood, apologizes to Mr. Altria in an unfortunate manner.

Mr. Altria turned to me after accepting the apology lightly.

"Look, let's go alone, shall we? You're not gonna keep Salia waiting."

"Huh? Ah, yes"

While I was confused by Mr. Altria, who looked lonely somewhere, I headed to the ruins of my client.

Walk the city silently all the time and reach the ruins.

In front of the ruins, I asked Mr. Altria.

"Here...?

"... right"

The building in front of us was a house that was exposed to rainstorms and weathered, and was about to collapse.

If it was in beautiful condition, it is a fairly large house that seems comfortable to live in.

"Why are you in this state?

"Apparently it was the result of the previous landlord's death and then some of his relatives who wanted to bother taking care of him left him alone"

From a spiritual Japanese without a body, I can't believe it. Given the size of the house, was it some nobleman? It would have been a definitely good house to take care of...

But there would be limits to saying I would leave you alone. How many years ago the hell did the landlord die?

"So should I completely destroy this house?

"Right. I'm going to give you some instructions."

"Then I'll break it"

"... what?

Taking my word for it, Mr. Altria had a distracted voice.

But I didn't realize how it was, and I kept getting closer to the ruins.

I tried to get close, but it's still a pretty big house. It looks like it's going to collapse now, but it's not going to break on a level I touched a little with my hands.

If I let go of my powers, it's gonna be easy to break.

Having come to such a conclusion on my own, I release the power I was disguising. Since the status you can see from the other person hasn't changed, and the atmosphere shouldn't have, Mr. Altria won't be aware of my monstrous powers either.

"What the hell..."

"Yes."

Blocking Mr. Altria's words, I gently beat one of the pillars supporting the ruins along with a very light hanging voice.

At that moment, the columns I hit disappeared shatteringly, as did the walls near the columns shattered by the shock waves caused by fist pressure.

... Yeah, boulders just make monsters a profession. I didn't think fist pressure would blow up the wall. Plus, I hit him lightly and the pillars disappeared...

"Become!?"

I can somehow imagine Mr. Altria stunned behind it.

Well... all of a sudden you're punching a pillar and you're turning it off. I doubt your eyes, don't I?

With that in mind, Mr. Altria suddenly yells at you for returning him to sanity.

"Hey, you idiot!

"To?"

At this time, I didn't understand why Mr. Altria yelled.

Anyway, I'm supposed to be doing my job well, because they yelled at me.

But I understand all of that in what happened after this.

With me blowing up the pillars and crushing the walls, the whole house that I had managed to hold onto began to collapse.

Suddenly, I was stunned and my body didn't move.

If I looked up, I could confirm in slow motion that the ruined roof and ceiling columns were coming down towards me.

... I totally forgot. Because it's fragile, you have to be careful and destroy it.

I forgot to avoid it, and I thought about it.

As a result, rubble hit me all at once.

◆ ◇ ◆

"Hey, you idiot!

"To?"

Me - - Altria Grem was screaming at the guy I just met today, flailing the rubble in front of me.

But my cry is also vain, and a massive amount of rubble descends mercilessly from above him.

A tremendous noise and intense sand dust broke out, making my vision worse all at once.

"Shit!"

When he threw up so bad, he rushed over to the rubble pile.

I bite my lips off at my impudence.

Also, people get unhappy because of me...... Never again, I swore I wouldn't hurt anyone...

"Stay safe......!

I just got to know him today, but he was going to make sure everything was okay when he got involved with me.

Yet... Yet...!

Driven by intense self-reproach in my heart, I even went off the rubble nearby amid poor vision.

But I could hear a hell of a light tone in my ear, desperate to get rid of the debris.

"Peep! Ugh... you got sand in your mouth..."

"Huh?"

The voice was an unmistakable, freshly acquainted man who should have been buried in the rubble in front of him - Makoto's voice.

Makichi... you just buried him in a pile of rubble, didn't you?

When such questions were swirling through my brain, the dust that had ever made my vision worse cleared up.

"Mecha, I'm in a hurry... I can't believe the rubble's coming down on me"

"You idiot! You're not acting on your own without waiting for instructions!

"Huh?"

I don't know the look on your face because of the hood, but Seiichi probably doesn't understand why you're angry. Such an atmosphere comes through.

"Ready!? This is how you take your exams now, and the profession you're about to be is' Adventurer '! It's always a dangerous and neighboring job! Honestly, I don't know what Temeer did, but you know that!?"

"It's..."

"Don't even wait for my instructions to act on your own... it's too late after something happens!?"

……

"... okay? If you want to be an 'adventurer', just remember this. The most necessary abilities for 'Adventurer' are neither the most powerful, nor the vast amount of magic, nor the slippage of technology, nor the blown brains." The ability to detect danger. "

……

"No matter how amazing he is, if he lacks that ability, he can die easily. Seeing this ruin, you thought it was going to be easy to break?

"Yes......"

"The result is what Temeer just experienced. Even if they say cowardice, he's the most awesome guy to look carefully for a safe path.... Doesn't mean anything when you're dead, does it?

……

"Well, I said tough. I'm the reason this time..."

"Huh?"

"... Anyway, from now on, act with caution. Temeer also has Sarya. Temeer's presence is greater than Temeer thinks. Don't think you can protect your loved ones.... I'm not sure I can act prudently right away, so I'm gonna help you out for a while."

"... Yes, thank you. Uh... I'm so sorry."

Seiichi bowed her head against me because she heard my words.

Even though it has nothing to do with my will, I can't wait to hate my constitution, which involves others in this way.

When I finished saying what I wanted to say at once, I added at the end of the day that I exhaled.

"... well, the... what. Glad you're safe."

The words that really came out of my heart were strangely embarrassing as I said them myself, and I accidentally strayed from Makoto's gaze.

◆ ◇ ◆

I, Shu Chengyi, just carved what Mr. Altria told me into my chest.

Sure, my behavior was unpleasant. I don't think about it later, and I'm allergic to the results of trying to use my powers to end it easily.

As far as I'm concerned, I didn't mean to overstate my powers, but I guess I unconsciously remembered some weird illusions.

That's true when you're skilled, but no matter how much status you have, it doesn't make sense if you're swinging to that status...

Even the chore request assumed it was a shovoy thing on its own, but I was reminded of my immaturity for that chore.

But now that I know, I can be careful in the future not to repeat the same mistake.

I can tell you that even when I found out about it, this incident was rewarding, but more than that, I was glad that Mr. Altria really thought about me and yelled at me.

I just got to know him today, and I can't believe he's taken me so seriously, even though he's got some kind of situation that I or Salia don't understand...

I can't believe I was seriously scolded since my parents died, so I don't know what to say... it tickled me.

I'm sure this guy really likes you.

That's why I look so lonely... I couldn't figure out how to distance myself from us and couldn't help myself.

... I'd like to help you if I could.

Even with that in mind, I was able to destroy the ruins that had once been requested. If this really completes the request, the next step is a dog walk......

"Uh... is it okay that the request is complete?

"Well, even if it's dismantled, I'll just smash it. I think it's done."

"Really...... alle? With that said, who is the person who asked for this job? Besides, I broke it on my own... Has anyone else been asked to do this?

"Oh, that's a request from the state. Besides, nobody was entrusted with this job. That's all the trouble I've got."

"Huh? But it's a request from the state, isn't it? Is that okay with you?

"That's okay. It's not an urgent request, and it's not a direct royal request. And if you say so clearly, you must be in trouble where you left this ruin. He's giving up his owner."

That's really appropriate already. Is that okay with you?

Inside such anxiety, Ms. Altria adds.

"Well, the main reason is that the guild itself is an organization that doesn't get interference from the state."

"Without interference from the state......?

"That's right. I get more important requests in that country than they put me in this way, but other than that, I don't belong in the country. If you want to put yourself in the guild, remember. The Alliance is an independent country."

"Country…"

"Oh, so we don't get involved in every fight between nations, even if they ask. I'm not asking you to be an adventurer, it's normal to be a mercenary."

Mercenaries... It might be careless, but it sounds cool. Looks strong.

"Oh yes... I can get a solid reward on the spot because my client is a Sister for helping out with the orphanage, but the reward for the request you have now accomplished will be given to me the last time I return to the guild today"

"Oh, I get it"

"Well, last request - let's go for a dog walk."

"In words, it's very showy."

Still, I don't know what kind of experience I can have, and I just found out that it's not like I can make up my mind about Shoboi in general.

After that exchange, we moved to the place where we had our last request.

At that time, the conversation with Mr. Altria was quite different from when moving to ruins.

I'm really glad the exam director is Mr. Altria, as well as being able to easily guide me through this city of Terveil.

I still have a collection system and a crusade system to accomplish all of this request...

Moving around like that, we eventually took a walk in front of one of the mansions.

"Here."

"Heh... here!?"

I scream so unexpectedly.

If you suddenly think you stopped in front of an awesome house, is this the place for your last request!?

Surprise me, Mr. Altria explains it lightly.

"This neighborhood is called the Upper Quarter, where the nobles live a lot. Well, it was Mrs. Adriana who lived in this house who made our last request our guild. Don't be coarse because your husband is the Earl."

"Ga, Gambarimus"

When I accidentally got a catacotto tone, Mr. Altria looked at me like that and laughed bitterly.

"I don't think you need to be so nervous. He's so sweet."

"Ha ha..."

I managed to reply like that and stepped in front of Mr. Altria to the mansion in front of me.

unusually long brick walls and luxurious black gates. Through the gate, a garden with gorgeous flowers popped into my eyes.

Are you using magic props or something, it's in the garden until the fountain.

Even as I lose my word to such a sight, I won't stop observing.

I looked around and thought it might be kind of rude, but that's all I can do because it's so awesome.

Walking the long way that leads from the gate, you reach a front door made of heavy wooden doors.

And Mr. Altria pressed the button provided beside the door for nothing.

Ping-pong.

... Yes?

Is that it, Chime? Buzzer? No, more than that... why is this place in the other world?

I inadvertently stare at the button that Mr. Altria pressed.

Yeah... it's breaking my world view very much. Is this a magic trick, too? Convenience is not a level, it's a level of convenience.

Well, for the easy way to summon people, I'm going to be able to use it right away... OK! If you think about it deeply, you lose!

Convinced on his own, a while after pressing the chime, the heavy wooden door was opened.

"Who is it?"

Coming out of it was a beautiful blonde middle-aged woman. She is quite beautiful, of things with a little wrinkle.

It's not beautiful, but she wore a classy watercoloured dress.

"I've been asked by the Alliance"

Then Mr. Altria said so without any tension. I was so nervous and speechless...

Following Mr. Altria's words, the blonde middle-aged woman smiled.

"Well! I've been waiting for you! Can I ask you to come now?

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Great. Wow! The butler who made you walk got hurt, didn't he? I'd really like to go, but I'm not busy with a lot of stuff. So, that would really help!

Cheng Cheng, boulder nobility. Is it also the servant's job to make him take a walk? You look different!

"So, what do you call a dog that makes you walk?

"You did. I'll show you now."

With that said, the blonde came out the front door.

"Oh? Who wore that hood over there?

"Oh, smitten. I wasn't the one taking the request this time, not me, I'm the guy over here....... Oytheme! Let's get the hood! You're rude!?"

"Yes!?"

No, I do know it's rude...! But I have trouble taking it off here and making a scene...

The middle-aged woman says with a smile that such an idea dominates her head.

"Fine, nothing. There must be some reason you're wearing a hood, too, right? Don't force me."

"Ha ha..."

"Hehe. I'm Adriana. What's your name?

"Oh, me... hey, my name is Makoto"

"Makichi... That's a good name. From what I hear, is he from the East?

"Huh?"

East Country...... what?

I leaned my neck towards the word I doubted, but decided not to think too deeply.

"Fair enough. Besides, Makichi will give you a walk, right?

"Oh, yes!

"Well, then, my milk, please"

Dog name, you mean milk...... That's a pretty name, and what's a little white dog? But why haven't you kept it in the house? Or do you have a pet hut or something?

Well, I don't care about that... Mr. Adriana, you're a really good person. It really helped me when they told me I didn't have to take the hood.

While appreciating Mr. Adriana's character, as he followed the guidance, he eventually arrived in front of one cage.

"Yes, we're here."

"Huh?"

Arriving? Where's that milk?

I'll look around, but I don't have a dog in my sight who seems to have that milk right.

Instead, a large cage was on the spot with an awesome presence.

Confusing me, Mr. Adriana approaches the cage.

"Come on, Milk."

"- - WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

…………

............... That's crazy... I think I heard a terrible, scary roar...

Come on, it's your fault! Must be my empty ear!

Looking at Mr. Adriana, with a cold sweat that never stopped for some reason, Mr. Adriana opened the door to the cage.

"Come on out, Milk!

"...... duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

With a tremendous roar, I came out of the cage--

"... OH..."

- - He was a huge dog about 5m long, with bright white body hair.

"Yeah... are you going to take a walk on this?

"Yes, of course."

"Are you going to take a walk on this?

Of course.

"Give me this. -"

"Come on, look at the reality!

I got hit in the head by Mr. Altria.

No, 'cause it's weird!? The dog in front of you... you don't look like Milk! I doubt it's even a dog!?

Either that or it's close to the acrowulf I defeated in [Endless Forest of Sorrow and Love]!?

"We all get scared when we see this girl at first, don't we? But you don't have to be so scared, do you? This child is very dear, so don't worry. It's very safe, isn't it?

"... by the way, what caused the walker's injury?

"It's because Milk bit me."

"I can't be relieved. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Where do you want to get hurt?

"That's crazy... security is perfect..."

"It does look safe!

The safety I seek and a little chigau!

If this were in the garden, the thieves would naturally fly away too! Scary!

"Well, let's skip the details. Take a walk, good luck!

"Murray murray murray murray!"

Absolutely not! I'm gonna stare at you earlier!? Milk!

Fighting isn't the same as walking!? You're walking side by side!?

I'm pretty sure it's safe for status... it's just a physical story, not a mental one!

I shake my head desperately, Mr. Altria tells me.

"Walking all over the city on boulders is bad, come some walk through this garden"

"Have you decided to accept the request?"

I don't seem to have the right of veto at the earliest.... with the faggots, what do you think of me? I'm human too!?... unconvincing though.

But when I realized that no matter how hard I tried, I was unlikely to escape this request, and I sighed heavily, I said softly.

"... ok. I get it! I'll take it!

"Yeah, I'm gonna lose it."

Mr Altria laughed so gladly.

I showed it in the orphanage, I didn't do anything to kill my laughter, I saw a pure smile and I fell in love with it unexpectedly.

You noticed that, Mr. Altria, when he coughs one, dyes his cheeks red.

"And anyway! This is my last request for chores.... hold on tight, huh?

"Yes!"

Well, I guess it's nice to just take that smile.

With that in mind, my walk with Milk started.
