Having a small axe in my hand for salary, and walking to the front of a stump in the corner of the garden, I pick up one piece of firewood that I leave unwrought around it. And when I stood that firewood over the stump, I let the blade eat into the tip.
"Eh!
When he waved the axe down all at once along with the hanging voice, the firewood broke into two straight pieces as he aimed.
At that point, I break firewood one after the other. Making a creepy noise with the concoction and the firewood cracking is so refreshing that it feels a bit refreshing. That's how for a while, I was inadvertently called from behind as I continued to pay.
"Hey, Ceres. You're going to be fine."
"Ah... Nate!
Realizing Nate's presence, I first interrupted my salary scale and rushed over to him.
"Welcome home. You must be tired.
"Well...... You know, today wasn't a good day."
Nate said so, letting her shrug her shoulders like she was in trouble.
Since coming to the village of Forsyth, he has been searching for a new master while staying at the mansion for the purpose of moving to this neighborhood. But it doesn't look like this is going to work inside.
Again, this time of year, Lian takes up most of the proportion of people who go to quarantine facilities without finding a master, so I guess it's not that easy to find.
The truth is it would be best to have a servitude contract with Laura with me, but I hear Hate, an elderly man over sixty has to go for a magic test every two weeks in order to have a servitude contract with two or more Lians. Anything, it seems that elderly holders with significant magic decay are seen as less capable of managing their slaves, and the state is scrupulously checking them out?
When I heard that story, I remember thinking that even though how much magic decay starts around the age of sixty, the fortnightly tests are too rigorous for the elderly.
At the beginning of her time here, Laura suggested that Nate join us for a servitude contract by saying, "It's a story I should go to for a magic test."
But Nate said he thought, "Then I can feel it coming to her burden, and it's bad to make her take the trouble for herself, so let's hit the other one," and he decided to look for a new employer nearby.
"Nevertheless... I never thought I'd have a hard time with this since I was reincarnated into another world"
Nate went on to say, "It's like the world he was in," when he blurted so blurted and leaked his sigh. In contrast, "If you say so, you do," I laugh bitterly, too.
In our previous life, we died among high school students, so we have not experienced anything called job placement.
Nevertheless, I guess Nate liked the world's job offerings based on what he was doing now because I didn't like the difficulty of looking at the people around him.
"By the way, Ceres. Were you on a salary scale?
Nate looked at the firewood and axe left by the stump and asked.
Unlike the original world, fireplaces dominate the heating appliances in this world. Although there are still more than six months before the arrival of a full-scale winter, we have to get our salary scales done and keep them on the shelves as soon as possible. That's because it's longer to dry firewood, and as a result, you can make well burning firewood.
"Huh? Yeah, I am."
"Isn't this job tough on Celes on boulders?
"That's not true, is it? This axe has been devised to make it easier for women and children to pay, and my neighbor is supposed to help me load firewood on the shelf, and Laura magically does it to light the fireplace..."
When he smiled back, "It's okay," Nate walked up to the stump.
……
Keeping an eye on how things were going, Nate took the axe I had been using until earlier and began to pay.
"Okay. If that's about it, you're going to be done by dinner time. It might be an extra favor... but at least let me help you for as much as I have here right now. I guess there's a lot more that needs to be done, huh? I'll take care of the salary, and Celeste will finish the rest of the job."
"Nate...... thanks!
Even today, Nate seems to care about me. When I thanked Nate for helping me with my work, I decided to go back to the mansion and start supporting dinner.
Though I feel a little early...... Nate is with me today, and I'll start prepping now to make a more sumptuous meal than usual.
