Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

348 Policy Decision Meetings (1)

"So shall we start a meeting on future policies"

Dining room at home.

Everyone gets to the table, and in front of them is tea and sweets served on a large plate.

It's a tea party for the purpose I saw, but it's time for a slightly more serious discussion.

Once in a while, I asked them to come together at my suggestion to think about their position.

"Um, even if we join?

"Of course, because Mary and Meatier are our family, and it's something we'll be involved in the future"

"Yes, you're free to express your opinion, aren't you?

"Understood."

Make sure Mary and Meetier snorted, I think a little bit about what to talk from, and I open my mouth.

"At first, let's check from the beginning that we became adventurers."

"If you get lost, you can start with it, it's not bad."

"At first, you get a safe and stable life."

"Yeah, right. This was achieved relatively early, wasn't it?"

Harka agrees with the answer Toya immediately gave, and Yuki and the others nod.

"Yes, this is how you get a home and live a life free of disabilities."

"Yeah, when I think of the first month, it's like a dream...... Rather, I wanted that to be my dream!

Looks like we had a hard time... or we tasted one end of it too. In a literal sense.

Labor from morning to night while eating that, that's too tight, and I can't dream or hope for that wage.

"We're like that, but Mary and I became adventurers..."

"So that we can be independent, is. Because if you're an adventurer, even orphans like us can work."

"Like your brothers, I wanted to be!

It makes me happy.

Common sense in this world is that 'when you grow up, it's natural to leave home and become independent'.

Except for the inheritance of the house, whether you have a place to work or not, you are often kicked out of the house.

If you don't leave, you can't complain about being treated like a successor.

Quite cynically.

As far as we were concerned, we would take care of even adults more than we took away, and since then we've been looking at keeping the two of them as housekeepers, but as for Mary, that seemed a little dissatisfied.

No, if I were to be precise, would it be 'anxiety'?

If we fire you, there will be no later situation.

What is given is the kind of work that can be done by everyone, and the need is scarce.

The fact is, I don't have much trouble with Mary and the others staying home, so I can understand her concerns, and the situation where we can't keep hiring - I mean, I can't even say we won't die.

Well, even in that case, if you sell what you have left in the house, it will be enough money for the two of them to live for quite a long time, but Mary won't be optimistic enough to be considered secure by it.

There are many sources of concern, such as the danger of two people without the power to fight having that much money, and the legitimacy of inheritance by not being a real child.

In that regard, if you remain an adventurer, many problems will be solved.

We can protect ourselves if we have the strength, and we can earn our own food support.

At least, the chances of getting lost in the streets would be greatly reduced.

"Do the Marys have hope for the future or something? Sometimes, it sounds like you're training with the orphanage kids, but in the future, you want to party together and be independent of us... Oh, don't worry about us, say what you want to do, okay?

As Hulka says, the Marys are often out in orphanages when work is off.

Even though I mean off, training with us is normal, so it seems a little overworked, but when I go to the orphanage, they ask me for help and guidance from an orphan who wants to be an adventurer.

"No, I'm not going to do that. Sometimes they ask me to put it together..."

"Sister, it's very popular!

He shakes his head, tells Mary the cloudy words, Hail Meetia, and gladly tells him that.

But Mary would agree with that, too.

"Oh, 'cause he's strong and cute"

The orphans who are about to be adventurers now will be a little older than Mary, but if they have arms about Mary there and a pretty girl, it would be a lie not to ask her out.

Even in my position, I would definitely invite you.

"Yes, no, that's not true!? It's true you're inviting me..."

"But you're not going to organize it?

"Yes, what can I say, but it's different from them"

"Well, right. You're on a different level."

The orphan children, too, would no longer be merely amateurs with Toya and Mary coaching them, but the starting point is still a bit better than the other rookies, to the extent.

Where they worked somewhat hard and trained in the orphanage, the technical difference would be widening compared to the Marys who already work with us.

In addition to that, the equipment aspect.

Mary and Meatier's gear has just been updated the other day, turning it into something made of attributed steel.

Naturally, there is an isolated difference from the first weapons and protective equipment they get when they become adventurers.

Exactly like us, even though there is no such thing as' a single wooden sword at first ', there is no doubt that there is a foolish difference in quality to compare.

Born there, perhaps, jealousy or inferiority.

Over those differences, when it comes to whether a party can be maintained...... it will be difficult.

Whatever the relationship between the parents and the guardians, it's not that kind of relationship between Mary and the orphans, because the orphans are better up there at their age.

If you think about that...

"Well, even if we put it together, it's going to be broke, with discord within the party. Besides technology and gear, there's also Mary, isn't there?

"Yes, no, I can't believe it!

"Yeah, I don't think so! Adventurers, because there aren't many women."

Mary rushes to deny Toya's words, but neither Yuki nor we can deny Toya's words, and she snorts by accident.

When Mary looked around at us like that, she raised her voice like she was in a panic.

"Wow, as far as I'm concerned, I wish I could keep doing this with the Hulkas! Can't you?

"Me too! Me, too. If we were together, we wouldn't have any trouble with delicious rice. Natsuki, your sisters' rice is delicious!

Following Mary, Meatier also says that with her hands up in a spur.

And Meatier's words are very important.

Even I don't think I can live apart from the Hulkas now.

At least in this Raffan.

I have Aela's shop... but yeah, I figured it would be better for Halka's rice to make.

"Meetia, I don't care if you're having a party with someone else, if you live in this house, you can make me dinner, right?

"Right, you don't have to leave, do you? You don't even have to live in an inn because you have extra room."

Nothing. My parents (?) There are good adventurers of life, Natsuki and Yuki say so, but Meetia shakes her head sadly.

"But during the adventure, it must be a poor meal."

"... it must be"

"Normally, I don't seem to cook at ease."

And naturally, it is impossible for ordinary adventurers to carry delicious dishes while they are freshly prepared.

"Well, if Mary wants to, isn't that good?

"Well, you have no reason to disagree, as far as I'm concerned. There's a little age difference with Meatier, but at least me and Nao will be able to do it together until Meatier is old enough to retire."

"I'm over ten, so I... I can't imagine when I was retiring."

To Hulka's words, Toya arms up and looks a little farther.

Because age counts differently, if you put that in your calculations and think it's the same as when our age died over there, it's actually about twelve years different, right?

I mean, when Meatier was thirty, we were forty-two.

I can't really imagine anything after midlife right now, but at the ages of 30 and 42, it's going to be quite physically different.

At least if you're human in our world.

In that regard, me and Hulka are elves.

Even after Toya and the others retire, it will also be possible for the four of us to continue our work.

As for us, I'm grateful to have Mary at our disposal.
