As I thought last year, Aela, a living elf, is so light-hearted as to be comparable to those of us who have leveled up and learned to strengthen ourselves.

If she participated, she would naturally proceed with the collection and return after noon after the collection from the three trees.

After a late lunch at Mr. Aela's place, we head to the temple of Master Advastris on his feet to greet him.

of heavy billing bonuses. [Lucky!] don't know if it really works, but nothing particularly bad has happened, and you should be thankful because you are alive safely.

It's been a long time, so I threw in a slightly larger donation and prayed, and it was well leveled. And two up. Currently level 24.

Because the last time I went up was when I came back from the dungeon... you mean the experience I gained from this escort mission was quite significant?

I didn't shoot a large number of strong demons, but I only gained experience in training with leading soldiers and perhaps fighting raiders stronger than us, so I guess I owe it to that.

"Hi Nao, Mr. Hulka. Long time no see."

When I tried to return from prayer, Mr. Ishka, who was not there when I entered the temple, appeared at some point and called out to me.

"Ah, Mr. Ishka, it's been a while"

"Hello, it's been a while"

"Were you going somewhere? I haven't seen your face in a while."

"It's a bit of a job, up to other towns a little further away. Because of that, the house was in a bit of a difficult situation."

From summer to autumn, what happens if we leave the garden alone.

As a matter of course, the grass flourishes and the garden, as well as the flower beds, naturally return.

Today when the Hulkas say gardening and maintenance, I wonder if they are in less beautiful condition.

Lately, Mary and I have been working together, and we often leave our homes empty, so there are parts of us that we can't help.

If you don't hire them as housekeepers all the time, you need vocational training.

After all, the only thing we can teach is being adventurous.

"Oh, that's what happens at this time of year."

"Yes. Looks like it's hard to clean up"

"If you guys are Nao, you should hire people, right? If it's simple grasshoppers, wages are cheap and good."

"... oh, there's a way to do that"

I nod to Ms Ishka's suggestion, as Hulka was convinced.

That or silver talent center-like, asking for a little chore on an hourly basis.

Our house also has security equipment, so we won't be able to 'go in and clean it on our own', but we can increase our manpower.

"That's not bad. It's pathetic to keep Mary and Meatier working too hard after we get back."

"Right."

When I got back, if the garden was a grass bow, Mary and I would try our best to clean it up.

Of course, even if we help, it's pretty big.

"What kind of request is this... Adventurer Guild?

There is no silver talent center in this world, so it was Ishka who suddenly started promoting him with a very good smile on Hulka with his neck over where to ask for it.

"No! It is the orphanage that I recommend to those Hulkas! There are parts of the workforce that are a little unreliable, but wages are cheaper than for adult adventurers, and manpower is available at once. Don't worry, the temple will guarantee your credibility too!

It is a fierce push.

"... were you after me?

"Oh, no, Mr. Hulka, people are not listening. But, well, that's not the kind of request you don't have at this time."

Mr. Ishka responds to Hulka, with a slightly jitty eye, without breaking his smile.

"These chore requests are important to orphanages, aren't they? It also means letting them earn their own living and knowing to work, but also in terms of connecting with people in the community, vocational training, etc. Even in terms of future employment. It's easy to hire a child you've known since you were a little girl."

"That's... that's true"

Because orphans don't have an edge, it also means setting up such an opportunity to create an edge.

Well, I don't know. But I don't.

Even if it's just a chore, if you're a child who has asked several times to work seriously, it will be easier to hire than the person who suddenly came.

"Because these kinds of jobs are on the edge, and some kids get picked up. Just because you're stuck inside an orphanage, you'll have trouble when you're an adult."

I see.

The orphanage doesn't just have to feed you where you live.

Of course, looking at the situation in Mijara, etc., I think it would be better if they were just given... That's right, Mr. Ishka, there are times when you just become a clergyman young.

"Hulka, what do we do? I don't think it's a good idea to hire..."

It's not a very relaxing situation, is it?

I don't think I'll be too unscrupulous because I have nuts, but Toya and all, when I find a clue, I'm going to stick around too much.

"You can't leave today anyway. Between now and sundown, wouldn't it be good?

"Really! Thank you. Um, they're all available today, and the wages are about that, and the number of people..."

It's as if we haven't changed our minds, but the wages offered by Mr. Ishka are quite cheap. Even considering the price difference, less than half the minimum wage in Japan.

No, well, I can't already at the time of child labor.

"Pretty cheap, is that good?

"Ha ha... because it includes little kids who can't work much. You can think of it as a stopover. Oh, I'll put on an apprentice Kane and Sydney, so I don't think I'll bother you..."

Well, it's not a big deal either way.

That's the bigger forehead I threw into the coin box earlier.

"I understand. Okay, please."

"Thank you. Then I'll bring you right away, just a moment."

With that said, I'm heading to the orphanage behind me. Dropping off Mr. Ishka and waiting for him temporarily.

Sydney and Kane came with the kids.

I don't get to talk much compared to Mr. Ishka, but he's below us at his age, so he greets us lightly without being too nervous and goes to our home.

They were children who were a little surprised as though they were quite large gardens and bushes of grass, but soon scattered all over the garden to begin work.

As Chirari and Ishka said earlier, are there many requests for guided grasshoppers, and each hand is properly gripped with tools?

Each is somewhat reassuring as older and younger children are paired up and working on it, but me and Hulka decide to take care to keep the kids away from dangerous places.

Specifically shredders and toya blacksmiths, around buildings, etc.

Shredders have safety devices, and blacksmiths and the like are locked, so I think it's okay, but what's plain dangerous is around the building.

If you're kidding me, or if I were to hit a window, the security equipment would be activated.

Adults shouldn't die like that, but what happens when they're kids......

I'm a little scared.

But the orphans were very serious about our concerns elsewhere.

Of course I'm kidding, I keep working without even showing how to skip at all.

Regardless of efficiency, little kids like Remy are also doing a good job, so it's awesome.

I guess that's how cynical it is to live...

"You're all doing your best."

"Right. Is it okay if we don't pay attention to this?"

"Right.... Can I treat you to a dindle too? I picked a lot."

"Yeah, isn't that good? One slice at a time."

Ishka tells me, 'What's a very luxurious thing to plug...' But if you behave like someone who's come to work, well, there won't be a problem.

Just like all the orphans are here, and there won't be kids out there who can't eat them and rub them later.

"Then let's speak up to the Kanes. Kane! Sydney! Hey."

"" Yes!

Mixed with the orphans, they also call the Kanes who were working on them, pointing to the walls and windows, while Hulka briefly explains the security equipment.

"Uh, this house, I'm putting in security equipment, so that's all you'll be aware of? As long as we don't get past the walls, break the windows, or force the doors open, I think we'll be fine."

"... no, that's exactly what no kid does, right?

"That's right. Because we're all good kids. I have naughty kids, but I'm serious when I work"

"For once, for once. Because accidents can happen, even if they're not deliberate."

Hulka shook her head laughing at the two who looked just a little flashy.

"That's right. Got it. I'll be careful. Leave it to me."

"Yeah, please. And the well is behind the house, so moisturize or take a break as appropriate. Because it's still hot."

"Some little kids. Because I took some time off, and I don't pay less."

"Thank you for your concern"

This garden with guts and grass growing.

Even though it is close to autumn, I am worried about heat stroke and so on, even after hours of work in flames.

Looking a little relieved, we left it to the breathing Sydneys, and we went into the house and started preparing things like cutting dindles and cooling fruit water.

◇ ◇ ◇

The power of man-made sea tactics was sufficient.

The garden, which was all grass bow, also became a beautiful enough garden before sundown and the work was done safely.

Some places that don't matter in the industry, such as the places we usually use for training, were magically handled by me and Hulka, but most of them are children's hard work.

By the way, our magic was very popular with the kids because they usually didn't get a chance to see it.

And so is the dindle I provided.

They express their joy so honestly that I stuck with them and decided to offer them another slice at a time...... no choice, right?

I would never ask you, Remy, but the little kids were being turned to complain about something, and Hulka was falling into a light fall.

Finally, I handed Kane and the others a salary for all of them, and that day is over.

And early that morning, we left Raffan's town to go back to the pinning.
