Morning ration time. After receiving the soup and sweet potatoes, they sit on the ground and start eating. I guess it’s a luxury that feels a little lacking compared to the soups in town. However, the volume is very helpful.
Come to think of it, I’ve heard that people who go to work buy more food for the morning ration. I also went to work, so I should buy some more ingredients. Hmm, what should I buy? In times like these, I think it would be better to ask the women.
I stuffed my mouth with sweet potato and poured the soup over it, then asked him about it.
“Um, sorry.”
“Oh, what is it? Do you want a refill?”
“It’s okay to get second helpings. Um, I heard that you’re buying more ingredients, and I’m thinking about buying more too. Can I ask what kind of ingredients you’re buying and how much? ?”
There’s refills, and the morning ration is amazing. No, I have to listen to you.
“Even though she’s still young, it’s helpful that she’s thinking about her meals.Yes, the extra ingredients we buy are vegetables, potatoes, and meat.The extra money we spend each week is about 1,000 Ruta per person, which we all share.”
“Then I should just buy about 1,000 ruta worth of food and put it in the food storage.”
“No, in Riru’s case, it’ll be about half that price. She doesn’t eat the same amount as an adult, and it’s painful to make a child pay the same price.”
If it’s 500 ruta a week, I think I can continue without much difficulty. I’m looking forward to going to the store, wondering what to buy. Ah, but I don’t know where the store is. Hmm, what should I do? Let’s ask Karoo.
Then I cleaned up as usual and headed into town.
◇
The adventurer’s guild is less crowded, probably because I’m here early in the morning. I wonder how long it will take for the adventurer guild to get crowded?
For now, just stand in line and wait your turn. There were only three people in line in front of me, so it seemed like it would be over quickly. Come to think of it, I wonder where adults work. I wonder if there will be more work over time.
“Next person please.”
“……Yes”
I was called a bad name. I quickly approached the counter.
“It’s an adventurer’s badge.”
“I’ll take care of it…it’s F rank. The quests that Riru-sama can accept are weeding the garden and exterminating pests, 4,000 ruta. Washing the horse-drawn carriage, 4,000 ruta. Collecting trash in the first section, 6,000 ruta. That’s all. , Do you have any wishes?”
“Please pick up the trash.”
“Yes, I understand. Please wait under the sign over there. The person in charge will come later.”
I was given the same guidance as last time. After bowing, I went to the bottom of the bill and saw a familiar figure. It’s Karoo.
“Karoo, good morning.”
“Hmm, good morning Riru. We’re together today too.”
“Yes, thank you.”
When you smile, he smiles back. Hehe, I’m kind of happy.
“By the way, thanks to arriving early yesterday, I was able to accept the quest to clean the hole.”
“Oh, really? That’s nice, but it’s first come first serve so it can’t be helped.”
That’s why that quest is so popular. After all, I guess it’s because you can make the coins you pick up your own. Well, I feel bad, but I was happy to be able to pick it up.
“So, how much did you pick up?”
“Eh, um…about 432 ruta.”
“Wow! You picked up so many things, I want to pick them up so much too.”
I was very surprised, and I was surprised. I see, I was able to pick up quite a few… There’s no way I’d drop four small silver coins every time. I’m sure such luck only happens once, and I’m worried that my luck will diminish.
Ah, that’s right. There was something I wanted to ask Karoo.
“Hey, Karoo. There’s something I’d like you to tell me.”
“Hmm, what?”
“I would like to know where I can buy vegetables.”
“Ah, there is. After work, I’ll take you there for dinner.”
It seems like you know a good place. I’m really glad I got to know Karoo. It’s more fun to work with someone than working alone. It’s strange how just talking about something trivial makes me feel better.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting, I’m going to go pick up the trash.”
I was so engrossed in the story that I didn’t notice that the official in charge had arrived. When the person in charge leads, the quest recipient follows. I have to follow along so I don’t fall behind.
“Karu, let’s do our best today too.”
“Of course, let’s do our best together.”
It’s much more fun to do something with someone than to do it alone. Well, let’s do our best to collect garbage today!
◇
“Excuse me, can I keep 4,000 ruta for you?”
“Yes, please wait a moment.”
The garbage collection job is finished. Today I was picking up trash while being talked to by many people, so I was slower than Karoo. This time I have to try my best to finish it faster than Karoo.
Meanwhile, the lady at the reception desk gave me back my adventurer’s card, and now I have saved 12,000 ruta. Hehe, it’s fun to accumulate money.
I left the counter and walked over to Karoo, who was waiting in the doorway.
“Then let’s go. I’ll take you to a store that sells vegetables first.”
“Yes, please”
Karoo goes first and I follow behind. When I went outside the adventurer’s guild, I saw a lively scene in the afternoon. Karoo and I chatted as we walked through the lively crowd of people.
After walking for a while, I came to a street lined with shops.
“Well, I guess it would be better if it was here.”
As I followed along with my hand, I arrived at a store. There are a variety of vegetables lined up there, all of which look fresh. As I watched in silence, a woman called out to me.
“Hey, welcome.”
“Here, Riru.”
“Yes, yes. I’d like to buy those 500 ruta worth of vegetables.”
“Okay, which one do you want?”
When I timidly stepped forward, I saw a woman serving customers with a smile. Phew, I need to decide which one I want without worrying. Which one is the cheapest here?
“Um, what is the cheapest vegetable here?”
“Cheap vegetables… That’s right, there are some vegetables that I have to give up soon, so I can make them cheaper, but what do you think?”
If it’s a closeout item, then it seems like it would be good because you can buy in bulk. If you use them early, you should be able to eat them just like regular vegetables.
“Then give me 500 ruta worth of that.”
“Yes. Oh, yeah. Do you have a bag for vegetables?”
“Oh, I don’t have it. Can I buy that?”
“Of course. One bag costs 100 ruta, is that okay?”
“Yes, it’s okay. Then, I will pay you 600 Ruta in total.”
After handing over 600 Ruta, the woman disappeared into the back of the store. She waited for a while and then she brought out a jute bag filled with vegetables. Looks like it’s in pretty well, you did it.
“Yes, Machi. There are carrots and potatoes.”
“thank you”
“Thank you again!”
Hehe, I was able to go shopping. I carry my bag and leave the store.
“I’m glad I bought a lot.”
“Yes. Thanks to Karoo, thank you very much.”
“Fufufu, it’s fine. Well, let’s go out to eat today too.”
“let’s go”
Today we had dinner at Karoo’s favorite restaurant. Yesterday, I went to a different restaurant and was charged 700 Ruta, so I found out that the restaurant I go to in Karoo is cheaper and more delicious. I can only recommend it. Thank you for your hard work today.
