The world's strongest hard worker

Episode 6 First Request Achieved

I came to the noble mansion.

There was a gatekeeper and he let me in to tell him that he was an adventurer who had been hired.

Large, well-maintained garden.

There were holes carved there that distorted the rectangle slightly.

There are also things that are likely to drain, and this will definitely be the pond's planned location.

"Thank you for coming! I've been wanting to build a pond in my mansion lately. I was in trouble with my manpower."

What appeared was a slightly old man in a noble costume.

From what I've said, this man is the owner of the Mansion, and he must be my client.

"Nice to meet you and thank you for today."

"Hmm. I've got something that doesn't hang on the reward. I look forward to working accordingly."

"Thank you very much. Leave it to me."

"All I want you to do is get the water from the pond. There is a well a little further away. Take advantage of it.... Hmm, but I'm starting to wonder if it's okay to leave you alone."

"It's okay. Let's make a pond right away."

"I don't trust you. Maybe you shouldn't have asked the Adventurer. Every time it's a chore, I've been avoiding requests lately."

I don't think I asked my guild directly for this quest.

Did you ask the Adventurers Guild Federation, and many of them asked you to do it?

This Quest may then be classified as a surplus.

No one wanted to do a quest...?

"I see, but rest assured. I took care of this request because it looks like it'll be over soon."

"Huh? How are we gonna get this over with?

"It's easy. You can use magic."

"Magic? Are you going to magically prepare enough water to fill this pond?

"Yes, that's right."

"... oh dear. There was a big idiot. No adventurer like this can use enough water magic to fill this pond. I wonder how much magic we need. Please don't let me down any more."

"Well, let's do it anyway."

I stand in front of the pond's scheduled location and use water magic.

I wondered where the water would come from, but I decided to stretch out my arm and get it out of my hand.

Water ejected with momentum.

The pond was built in less than a few minutes.

The amount of magic consumed is about 20% of the total.

According to the client, the adventurer who receives this request will be roughly ranked D?

Can't the amount of magic of those with the ability to use magic in that D rank fill this pond with enough water?

My magic is at least five times that of my age.

"We're good."

"... how old are you, my lord?

I'm twelve.

"... there's no way someone at that age could have this much magic..."

"Is the pond okay with this?

"... ahh. Can I ask you one more question? What's your talent?

"Talent is [effort]."

"[Efforts]....?... so you're the winner of this year's Freepara Rookie Competition?

That's right.

"... I see, I'm convinced. This year's winners seem to be different than usual."

I can't say anything because I don't know the winner of the year.

Wisdom I thought for a moment that I would look into it, but I decided there was no need for it.

And I finished my first request safely and returned to Tempest.

"Thank you, Eleanor. The quest you just completed is almost over."

It ended in about 15 minutes, including travel time.

"... you're pretty early. It's a little bit far from the Mansion... When I saw Livel coming back, I thought I might have lost my way."

The move ran over the lined roofs, so I was able to get to the Mansion early.

"I'm not lost in the boulders. Do you have any more quests like that?

"That's right... I have a request to search for a lost pet."

"Ah, that's good. What kind of animal is a pet?

"You're a cat.... but if we don't find a search request, it's going to take a long time..."

"If it's a cat, maybe it's okay. Please accept the request."

"I see. Now, this is the feature of the requested cat and the client's home. Deliver it to you as soon as you find it."

Roger that.

That's why I left Tempest again.

When I asked for a search, it was detection magic that came to mind.

I feel like I can find it right away with this.

Before, when I saw the cat, it emitted a little magic like a monster.

Using detection magic, Freipara had many magical reactions.

Only what the cat emits is narrowed down, but there are still many reactions.

Looks like we're just gonna have to find it for a crush.

Although there are some luck factors, it may take longer than before, so I decided to train at the same time.

I magically reduce the concentration of oxygen around me.

It's magic I thought of with reference to my father's wildfire.

Exercise in this difficult to breathe environment helps to build endurance efficiently.

And 30 minutes later.

I found the cat, delivered it to my client, and returned to Tempest.

The quest you just completed...

"Yes, Mr. River, it's too soon!

"But it took about 30 minutes.

"Normally, quests don't end so easily and quickly!... I think I'll be able to finish all the D Rank Quests as quickly as this, so let's take on the guns."

"Really?

"Yes, please go to this next time!

Eleanor gave me Quest Paper with a smile.

Afterwards, I went back and forth between Quests and Tempests, finishing seven quests in one day.
