I was so excited to be in town for the first time. Rows of houses, people bustling early in the morning, wagons drawn by horses. I can’t stop being excited to see a different sight from the village I’ve been to.
Refugees were walking in rows, but no one looked at them curiously. It’s partly because there aren’t many people out early, but it’s reassuring to know that there are no harsher eyes on refugees.
Continuing on, you will see a large building. It is a three-story building, and it is so big that it cannot be compared with other houses. Some refugees are going in there.
“Sister, is this the adventurer’s guild?”
“Oh, that’s right. It’s a building where a lot of people come and go, so it’s this big.”
“I’m a little hesitant to come in.”
“Hehe, that’s just the beginning. You’ll get used to it.”
I wonder if it’s true that I get used to entering such a big building. I got really nervous.
My sister enters the building first, and I follow behind her. When I entered, I saw a large hall in front of me. Next to it was an equally large hall with tables and chairs lined up, and a small number of people who looked like adventurers were sitting there.
There was a long counter lined up at the back of the hall, and further back there were about 10 guild receptionists sitting in a line.
“Um, where should I line up?”
“Riru-chan should go to the person next to this queue.”
“Um, there’s no one in line…Is that okay?”
“Okay, okay. That’s a place only for adventurer registration. It’s the place Riru-chan should go.”
It takes a bit of courage to stand in line when there is a long line. This is because I start to worry about whether I really want to be here. Her older sister pushes her back, but she can’t move on.
“It’s not about me to talk about the details, it’s okay because that person will talk to you about anything. Moreover, don’t worry, he’ll also help you find a job.”
“… Yes, I understand. I’ll go.”
“Yeah, that’s it. I have to get a new job, so I’ll be in this queue. Good luck.”
“Please do your best, sister.”
When I made up my mind and started walking, my older sister gave me a gentle word and pushed me back again. I walk past the line and come to the reception counter. Then, the older sister at the reception in front of me gave me a soft smile.
“Welcome to the Adventurer’s Guild. This is the place to register as a new adventurer. Are you sure?”
“Yes. I’m here to register as an adventurer. Nice to meet you.”
“Yes, please leave it to me. Please take a seat.”
When I sat down on the chair as I was told, the lady at the reception continued to talk.
“I will explain about adventurers. Adventurers have different jobs depending on their rank. They are ranked in 7 stages from highest to lowest: S, A, B, C, D, E, F. The system is designed so that the higher the rank, the more work you complete.If you are new, you will start from rank F.”
I see, you need to upgrade your rank by 4 levels to get B rank, which allows you to receive citizenship.
“Also, if you receive a recommendation from a guild member, you can take on a job at a higher rank, so please contact us in that case.Next, we will talk about the rules and things to keep in mind when taking on a job.”
The lady at the reception politely explained the rules. The rules, she said, forbid acts that would harm other adventurers. As long as she was living a normal life, all I could say was that there would be no problems.
“Now then, I will register as an adventurer. Please pay me the registration fee of 10,000 Ruta.”
“yes”
He takes out a coin bag and pulls out various coins from inside. Ugh, isn’t it annoying to have to take out so many coins?
“Excuse me, I’m full of coins”
“It’s okay. Um… yeah, I’ll take care of exactly 10,000 ruta. It’s amazing that you can calculate it properly.”
“thank you”
The big sister’s smile didn’t collapse, and she was praised after being counted firmly. Good thing she’s a refugee kid so she’s not considered funny. If so, I wonder if being able to do calculations will be my weapon.
“Then, please hold your hand over this crystal.
“Heh”
“Hold your hand, receive information, and then register as an adventurer based on that information. You can be controlled and managed.”
I guess it’s some kind of super technology that makes it hard to tell whether it’s fantasy or science fiction. When I gingerly put my hand over the crystal, it began to glow faintly. After a while, the light subsided, and in its place letters appeared inside the crystal. What should I do, I can’t read it at all.
“Can you read letters and symbols?”
“Um, I can’t read.”
“In that case, I’ll read it for you.”
That’s right, I couldn’t read the characters in this world. If you can’t read, you will be limited in the work you can do, so you need to study letters and symbols in order to expand your range of work.
According to the lady at the reception, my status was as follows.
[Name] Riru
[Age] 11
【Occupation】 Refugee
【Force】D
[Physical Strength] D+
【Magic】 C
[Agility] D+
【Intelligence】C+
【Lucky】B
“Ril-sama’s luck is the highest. Next is her intelligence. The + on the side is a sign that she will rise in rank in a little while. She still has the body of a child, so her ability values are low. She seems to have magical power, but magic Would you take?”
“No. Where can I learn magic?”
“There is a library on the third floor of the guild, so I can get knowledge from the books there.I also get other adventurers to teach me magic.I request them to teach me magic at work. It is also possible
You can use magic, magic! I definitely want to learn and use magic. Ah, if you don’t learn letters before magic, you won’t be able to read books.
“Is it okay if I go to the third floor to learn letters?”
“Yes, there are books on the third floor that will teach you how to memorize letters. Please ask the librarian for details. If there is anything you don’t understand, they will be able to answer it for you.”
Okay, I have to study letters in between work. There are suddenly a lot of things to do, so let’s clear them one by one without rushing. Don’t forget to help with daily tasks, because even if you become an adventurer, you’re still a refugee.
“Finally, let me move on to job placement.”
Well, what kind of work do you have?
“Chapter 2 start”
