After a morning workout that was routine, I sweated in the shower and went back to the room and the door was knocked just at that time.
"Noel, I'm here to pick you up"
The visitor is Alma. Today, with no plans in particular, we were promised to guide the Empire City to Alma. Alma says it's a date, but of course it's not meant to be me.
The only place I can show you is where I can help the Seeker. The tourist attractions and places to play are told in advance to unearth them yourself.
Opening the door, Alma, standing at the entrance, raises her right hand gently.
"Morning."
"Morning. Well, let's go in."
Alma entered the room and looked inside with interest.
"A good room after all. I also wanted to stay in this inn."
If it's true, Alma also planned to stay here at Shizukukan. But there was no room available, so I had no choice but to choose another inn.
"How's that inn over there? Are you used to it?
"Much. Not as good as here, but good inn over there"
"It would have been nice if it had been comfortable. But isn't it too soon?. It's almost 9: 00 in the morning. I don't have any stores open."
In the first place, it was Alma who said he was coming to pick you up. He is the one who doesn't know patience because he says he is going out of his way to pick him up, although he can decide where to meet him appropriately somewhere.
I've just come to Empire City, and I know what it's like to get excited. As a first-timer, I'd like to take a big look at it, but I'd like you to adjust your time.
"Happy to see you and your sister soon. Happy habit. Noel's not being honest."
"Shut up. I've told you many times, you're not my sister. I mean, if you were going to come sooner or later, you should go with the training."
"I can't. I can't wake up at five in the morning"
"... you halfway guy. If you suddenly lose exercise, you'll gain weight all at once."
"It's okay. Maidens don't get fat because they have maiden burning engines"
"What the hell, a maiden burning engine..."
With me in my ass, Alma fell into bed.
"Ha, free time. Noel, tell me something funny."
"Die. I'm not your clown. If you're free, read this."
I handed Alma the book I had on my desk.
"What is this, Noel's personal novel?
"It's a shame. It's not a private novel, it's a battle record so far. From the time of the formation of the Blue Beyond to the fight against the bandits the rest of the day, it details everything."
"That's awesome. Which one"
Alma leaned over and started reading with her feet bummed.
"Mmmm! No wet spot with Noel and me!? This is a false record!
"There is no such history. Shut up and read. And if I write something weird on my own, I'll hit it flat again."
"... Shit"
Why, tongue-in-cheek. No way, were you really going to add that?... You're a hard fool to believe. Now that you're five years older than me, you're scared and you can't even tell me what it is.
While Alma was reading combat records, I sat in a chair and opened a specialty book on organizational theory. Establishing a clan has naturally not yet given up. He learns the knowledge that will be needed at that time beside the Seeker industry.
One more, if I can get an excellent companion, I plan to set up a clan.
I'll give you the bulk of the money you'll need, but that's fine. Because unlike before, there's no reason to spare any more money than I am a leader. "Thanks to" Lloyd and Tania, we can also afford the possession. If you feel like it, the establishment itself is always possible.
But there is no point in setting up a clan without diving into the abyss (Avis). In order to be established, the presence of new colleagues was still indispensable.
For once, recruitment continues in Central Square. He also intends to request a newspaper in Teito to publish a recruitment advertisement. So if a good applicant shows up, good, and if he doesn't show up, he'll have to switch methods to Headhunt.
Hugo, the puppet master who wants to be one of the most, still takes time to prepare. Then you have to look elsewhere, but if it's that easy to find, you won't have a hard time.
Would something have miraculously meshed and even fallen on the side of the road?
The more I thought about something so unintelligible, the harder it was to find a new companion.
"... I'm tired"
About enough later, Alma closed the combat record book she was reading.
"Aren't you getting bored soon?
"That's not true. If I read all the books, I'd be a bug."
"On the contrary, do you admit that there is only a bug-like brain?
"It's my fault. More than that, I'm free again. Noel, do me a favor."
"If you just want to ask, let me ask you. But choose your words carefully."
"Let me touch you."
"Choose your words carefully!?
From beside what I said, how rigid is this idiot bitch to bump into a direct ball sexual harassment statement? Even my sexually harassing father, who's often in a tavern, would use his head a little more.
Well, let me touch it.
"Wait! I'm not letting you!
You don't seem willing to respect my will from the edge. Alma rises out of bed and reaches out to wander my body. But I'm not going to let you touch me easily either. I can grab Alma's hand on the brink and use my strength to push him away.
"Stop it! Don't touch it! Don't touch it!
"I can't. Mind you, let your sister touch that good body"
"So you're my sister... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
What an arm power. Smaller and thinner habits have more power than I really do. Besides, that cool face is proof that he hasn't offered half his strength.
"Hehe, I can't. There's no better brother than your sister."
"Don't be ridiculous, idiot!!!
I try to eat up my teeth and push Alma back, but I'm still not scared. It's a response to the habit of such a small body, as if it were dealing with a large rock.
"... Noel, who is desperate, is also cute. Can I chew?
"Ha!? It's up to you!!
"You chew. Chu ~ Eh"
"Stop, stop!! Idiot, stop!!!
Alma closes his mouth and brings his face closer. As it is, this waste milk idiot woman takes my lips away from me. When I thought I would no longer rest in peace, the door opened with momentum.
"Mr. Noel! What's all the fuss!?
Marie, the billboard daughter of Shizukukan, the star, came into the room. Marie rounded her eyes at the way we work together and dropped the laundry cage in her hand.
"Oh, no... I can't believe Mr. Noel is trying to chew with a girl..."
"No, no, because I can't! More than that, help me pull this idiot off! Because I'll give you a penny!
But Marie didn't get my word, so I shudder.
"Oh my... I don't know if I haven't kissed a guy!? Kiss the girl, fuck you!!! The handsome guy needs to kiss the handsome guy!!! Wow, Mr. Noel's traitor!!!!
Marie cries with completely incomprehensible reason and runs away.
"Hey, what's that unusual creature?
To an event that was so abrupt, the boulder Alma was also flabbergasted with his mouth open. Striking through that gap, I let go of the hand I was grabbing, while slamming the knife into Alma's neck.
"Ugh!"
Alma losing consciousness in one blow. Freed from that demon's hand, I could finally exhale. But my heart remains dark and heavy.
"Why aren't there all kinds of women around me..."

Alma, who passed out, woke up immediately. Apparently, he's lost his memory since he came to this room, and when he said he fell asleep, he was convinced without question.
Thus my chastity was preserved.
"Where do you guide me at first?
Time had passed within the time we had been following, and Alma and I were out. The liveliness of the imperial capital is as usual. A wide variety of races and carriages flow like the Great River.
"You start with a familiar martial arts store. It's a shop where Dwarf craftsmen are the parents, and the price is conscientious, as well as good arms. Slightly more difficult, but it's a nice, friendly Osama."
There is nothing more important to the Explorer (Seeker) in battle than gear. Alma seems to have excellent weapons and protective equipment, but if he fails to maintain it, he becomes useless as soon as possible. An arsenal store that can always be relied upon safely is still an essential necessity.
"Next up for the armor store is the item shop. I know a trusted store, so you should get to know the owner."
Various combat items, including Alchemist's Recovery Pills (Potions), are also essential to Explorer's activities. Because I also make Demon Bullets, I have a Demon Gun (Silver Flame) that is especially frequently used.
"It's a store that trades materials as well as finished products, so it should definitely help Arma the scouts. Look, scouts have the skills to make poisons and pills out of blood, right? There are different kinds of poisons and herbs that can change the effect of taking it orally just before."
"Yeah, it helps. Herb collection is fun, but if you can buy it all together, it's better that way. I still don't have a map of the herb distribution in the area."
Scouts can produce poison or medicine from their own blood. Most of its effects can also be made by alchemists, but what matters is that it is not bulky as a possession.
For scouts (scouts) whose agility is the best weapon, considering the consideration of consuming blood, there is no more useful skill. It is precisely a symbolic skill of reprimand because it can handle all situations without extreme stories or carrying one.
"After the item shop, the Association of Appraisers (Guild). As you know, this is where they appraise and rank up functions (jobs). Because the information of each function (job) can also be viewed, it is advisable to consider where to rank up based on the information here. There's a browsing fee, but I'll pay for it."
"Okay. Where are we going, so all of it?
"No, I haven't had my destiny yet. At the end of the day, I'm going to Yokocho."
Functional (job) skills can be remembered through training and can be used as if a new function were to be expressed in the head when the necessary elements are in place. For this reason, Explorers (Seekers) describe learning skills as' flashing '.
It is the skill book that prompts this flash from the outside. The acquisition of skills that would otherwise require lengthy training is a substitute for the power of a special book using demons (beasts) to force them to 'flash' by implanting them directly into the brains of those who have read their knowledge and senses.
For Seekers, the Skillbook is a dream item. Although it is very expensive due to production cost problems, many technology acquisition books (skill books) are circulated due to high demand.
"In Teito, the majority of technical mastery books (skill books) are gathered in Yokocho. Buy Tech Mastery Books here to strengthen our capabilities."
"That's a necessary expense, too?
"Naturally. The money's in charge of the party fund. I'll give it away."
"Oh, chubby"
Expenses are huge, but returns are huge for that matter. If you're thinking about future activities, it's an investment that will never be compromised. I can get back what I paid for right away.
"You understand what I'm doing today? Then follow me."
Copy that.
We will visit each location in turn.
At the martial arts store and item store, I didn't even plan on buying anything in particular, so I just ended up introducing Alma to the store owners. In both cases, the ratings for Alma were pretty good and the atmosphere seemed to expect a special service.
A good rookie is something that's only welcome, but in addition Alma is a young, good-looking woman. And a big chest. It is only natural to take Osama.
The Association of Appraisers (Guild) looked into what to do to rank up Alma.
As far as I'm concerned, I'd like you to be a rear guard attacker, but you can't ignore Alma's own intentions and values. Based on sufficient knowledge, you should have a rank-up that you won't regret.
There are four functions (jobs) that Alma can rank up. Avant-garde attackers are assassins (Assassins), torturers (Toochers), and rear-guard attackers are chasers (Chasers) and turbulent waves (Banded).
Upon viewing each piece of information, torturers (toochers) and turbulent waves (banded) were ruled out as unsuitable for their sexuality, and Alma was shaken by assassins (assassins) and pursuers (chasers).
Emotionally, the targeted assassin (Assassin) seems to have a slight advantage. However, they don't seem to have detention, so they will decide whether they are assassins (Assassins) or chasers (Chasers) according to the upcoming party composition as originally planned.
When I went outside on business at the Association of Appraisers (Guild), the time was after noon.
"I'm hungry. Noel, let's go eat."
"Right. Let's take a lunch break."
You can go to Yokocho in the Technical Mastery Book after you finish your meal.
When I was looking for a diner to get in, something stopped me in sight.
"... Alma, I'm sorry, but you have to eat first. Got some errands to run."
"What? What's the sudden matter?
"I have a lot of things, too. When you're done with your errands, skip thinking sharing (link) and let me know what store you're in. I'll be there, then."
"Oh, hey! Noel!"
I hear Alma calling me from behind, but I ran ignoring it.
