The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)
Good Job to Next Job
When I went back to the guild, the receptionist woman who explained the request and gave me the order was still in reception.
"Excuse me."
"Oh, you're in the morning..."
"I'm here to report on the achievement of the request"
"Huh? Achievement? It hasn't taken you two hours to take it, but not abandon it?
"Achievement."
That's what I say. I submit a request.
"... it's true, you've accomplished the request. And even with the increase in rewards... you're amazing, although this request is not a difficult task, the smell is still broken by the garbage pouring through the hole."
"Because there was magic that was convenient to use."
"You did, good luck. Complete the report of your request……… Yes, 30 pieces of silver in the reward."
The receptionist brought me the silver coins I put on the receptacle.
Hmm? That's a lot more than what the requisition said...
"I heard it's a reward increase, isn't it too much?
"Since people stopped coming, my client Mia has managed to raise her reward for asking me to do it. Besides, you've even been instructed to increase your reward, so this is fine."
"Really, I get it"
"And since the Alliance Master tells me to call you to your room when you get back, will you follow me?
"Is there an Alliance Master?
It wasn't the woman in front of me who answered that question, it was the man who was going through the process at the counter next door.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. The usual."
"What does that mean? Ah... I'm Lyoma Takebayashi"
"I'm Jeff Grange. That old man (Alliance Master) is a freakin 'grill, and he calls out to the mama to help newcomers and adventurers under the age of 13 like you. I was taken care of as a rookie, too. Tula seems to be more of a bandit than a bandit there, but you don't have to be scared."
"Really, thank you"
"I mean, it's okay."
Soon after that, we'll hear from the back of the counter. It was the Alliance Master who spoke up.
You're right, you don't need to thank him.
"Ah, Guildmaster"
"Whoa! Old man."
"Look at people's faces! hey...... and whose side is the bandit side over the bandit. Kola!
"Whoever sees the old man's face will be the bandit's!
"Shut up! I don't know what else to do with my face! But you don't look like a bandit!
"If you see a woman or child in the dark at night, you can scream and run away..."
"Gu... If they're in this city, it's not a problem."
"That's because we're all used to it!!
"Guuuuu!... Enough... Lyoma, follow me"
The Guildmaster, hurt by Mr. Jeff's words, holds his chest, calls me as he returns to the back, and I say a word to Mr. Jeff and the receptionist to chase the Guildmaster. It was the Alliance Master Room that came through yesterday.
"Sit in the right place. You mean, that cage? It's not tearful. It stands out."
"Excuse me. Inside this cage is my obedience."
"You were an obedient magician? I thought you were a hunter or something."
"Slime is the only obedient demon, and as an obedient magician, I'm an apprentice. You're a hunter who can use obedience magic. Use the poison of a trap or poison slime that combines sticky slime on an arrow."
When I heard that, the Alliance Master laughed niggardly and said:
"... you make a pretty nasty combination."
"Do you think? It's a slime, isn't it?
"You know perfectly well because I'm doing it myself. If it's just slime, it's not insulting to the top species yet.
Many adventurers think it's just slime and superior species together that make them weak... well, in fact, most slime is weak even in superior species, but eating acid from acids slime makes them poorly equipped. If it's a streak, by the time you get home, the new ones won't be worn out. If you eat poison, your life sucks, Sticky Slime doesn't make you sick, and you can't move. If another Warcraft comes at times, you have no life first.
If you're an adventurer who's fought that kind of slime, you don't think you're just weak. "
"I see... then the Adventurer Guild is easy to work with. Right. As a matter of fact, Tamer Guild has a tendency to be judged incompetent when they use slime."
"You've heard that story several times from the Alliance Master's grandfather over there. So you're here."
"Yeah. Slime's not for hard work, and I'm here looking for a job other than hard work."
When I explain that, Mr. Wogan nods several times in a convincing manner.
"I see... I'm talking about work. I heard you got a job early today, sounds like you did a good job, huh?
"Yes, my client was satisfied. And I got a reward increase."
"Ho, that's good for my first job. I only heard it was cleaning, what job did you get?
"I'm cleaning the house of a client named Meyer."
The Alliance Master who heard it rounds his eyes.
"You, you cleaned his house?
"You know what?
"Well, Mia is also an adventurer living in this city. We come to the guild a lot, and we meet face to face."
"Was it"
"But... accomplishing that request means you could have cleaned it, right?
"Yes."
"I didn't think there was a guy who could clean that house... So, how'd it go?
"I knew just the right magic. It's hard to use because it uses a lot of magic, and it's not very commonly known."
"Ho? Then I have one request for you to take..."
Could...
"Is this a request to clean the city's common toilet?
"What, you knew?
"Yeah, I wasn't sure which way to go before I took the request today."
"Then we need to talk. Yes. The bureau sent a cleaning request to the guild, telling the residents it was the guild that didn't clean it. I'm getting complaints. Originally, the bureau was reluctant to give money to the slums."
"That, as the receptionist told me, is it true?
"Oh, I'm sure. You know how the city's income has been declining over the last few years?
"You do think the amount of iron ore mined is falling from the mine?"
"Yes, so the bureau tried to keep the costs down... but mainly because they cut the city's management costs, the mess came to the people of the city."
Looks like the slums are the biggest eaters of them all.
Until now, the bureau has kept staff costs down by gradually reducing the number of people employed, but that leaves us understaffed. And the good thing that I can't get around to it is that I'm not done with my job because I'm not working seriously, so I'm obsessed and rewarded, and it's hard or hard worth it. Since the complaints from residents began to come out, he reasoned that slum people would not work seriously in an attempt to hire a large number of slum people, and that no one in the slum would eventually take it on for free.
"No matter how much money you're in trouble with, the slums won't work either if you don't pay for it. It's not like they're telling me to pay a lot of money, either. It's just... they only have a minimum of life, so when they get sick, treatment is the burden of life. For free, the risk is bigger."
I see... I don't have a choice.
"Okay, I'll get ready and take it early. As early as tomorrow."
"Help me, please. I'll play the reward."
"Regards"
I'll talk to Mr. Reinhardt at last, because they're the ones with the strongest authority. Besides, those people will ask you what I did today, and if you find out about this, you'll have some sort of response.
"... you, what are you thinking?
Was it on your face?
"No, I acted alone today, so don't ask me a lot about what happened today with the people who accompanied me to my registration yesterday."
The Alliance Master laughs niggly again when he hears that.
... When they look at me like that, don't think I do look like a bandit, like Jeff said...
"You, you have a good personality.... So, you think you can move?
"I think you can move as long as you know."
"On what grounds?
"It's not as good as grounds...... I was an orphan and I ran into you a while back where I had no place to go and lived in the woods. And then he's baking me this and taking care of me. I'm a stranger, right?
I wouldn't be able to treat each and every one of you like me if you were everyone in Slam Street. But I don't think they know what's going on and feel anything. "
"... well. Let's hope so."
"Yes.... then it's time for me to have some free time? Because I want to be ready from tomorrow."
"Whoa, I'll take care of that one. As soon as you get here, I'll tell you to turn the example work around as a matter of priority. Nobody's taking it, so there's no priority or anything."
"Right."
That's why I'm laughing, I'm going home from the guild to the inn. Find a store along the way where you can buy clothes and sewing tools for your clothes and a set of cheap cloths and sewing tools. I bought more yarn rolls with no thread in them.
