Two months have passed since my first job. Life in the village was going well, and they were no longer hated as much as before. Except for his parents.
It seems that her parents have no choice but to help out in the village, but it seems that they are clearly disliked by the villagers. Still, perhaps because he was so nervous, he did not try to change his lifestyle. It may only be a matter of time before he is kicked out.
I helped catch a hole mouse once and a fish once in a week. I used to have a job fetching water, but when I helped out with other things, they gave up on me. I’m glad you did your best.
That’s why I currently work at the Adventurer’s Guild about 4-5 times a week. Most of the time, I received a garbage collection quest, and when there wasn’t, I received a different quest.
The garbage collection job was slow at first, but the more I did it, the more I learned how to do it, and now I can collect garbage in the same amount of time as Karoo.
I also collect medicinal herbs in my spare time to supplement my income a little. Perhaps because of that, my current savings have exceeded 180,000 Ruta. I’m very happy because it looks like it’s going to reach 200,000 ruta soon.
I only have to work for three more months to get citizenship, but I don’t think there’s any need to get it right away if I can’t live right away even if I get it. I wish there were enough jobs in this town for me to live on my own, but it seems difficult at the moment.
I wish I could get a job, but I don’t know what I want to do or what I want to do. That’s why I’m thinking of continuing to be an adventurer instead of finding a job somewhere else.
I would like to get a job outside of town someday. In this world, there are monsters that are a threat to humans, and various adventurers are trying to subdue them every day. I don’t have any strength right now and can’t take any outside work, but I’m thinking of training my body little by little and eventually taking on a job of subjugating monsters.
But before that, I have something to do. First, memorize letters, numbers, and symbols. Without this, you won’t be able to read the quests posted on the cork board at the Adventurer’s Guild, and you won’t be able to accept orders. I have problems before I start work, so I’ll prioritize learning them first.
I gradually gained strength and strength through my daily work and learned things like letters in my spare time. This is my recent routine. Thanks to this, I have been able to read and write most of the characters, although not all of them. I think I’ll remember everything in about a month.
I wonder if I’ll be able to get some new jobs if I learn how to write or something like that. I’m looking forward to that.
And today, when I was about to get in line at the adventurer’s guild, I spotted Karou in front of me.
“Karoo, good morning.”
“Ah, good morning Riru. Let’s do our best collecting trash today too.”
“yes”
The two of them stood in line together, and soon it was Karoo’s turn. As I was communicating with her receptionist using Karoo, Karoo’s voice became louder.
“What, are you running out of garbage collection quests for today?”
“Yes, I’m sorry. Due to the lack of other quests, I have closed today’s quest.”
“I see…umm, what should I do?”
It seems that today’s garbage collection quest has disappeared. I have no choice but to accept other quests.
“Ah, then let’s send out the usual cleaning inside the guild as a quest.”
After saying that, the older sister left her seat and went to the back of the counter. After a while she comes back and she starts talking again.
“My boss has given me permission. How about Mr. Karoo and Mrs. Riru cleaning the area used by the adventurers? I’ll give each of you 4,000 ruta.”
“That’s it, please. Riru would be fine with that too.”
“Yes, that’s fine”
“Then, please start cleaning after the number of adventurers has decreased. Karoo-sama knows the details, so please talk about the work with the two of you.”
After speaking, Karoo went straight to the adventurer’s waiting area and sat down in one of the seats. I followed suit and sat down next to him. Come to think of it, this is my first time sitting in this seat.
“Cleaning inside the guild is a good job, so I was lucky today.”
“Really?”
“Well, as long as you finish your work properly, you can stop working sooner. You’ll be happy to have more free time.”
It seems like I’ve been assigned a good job. It’s tempting to think that it’s okay to finish quickly as long as you finish it cleanly.
“The cleaning area is the waiting area, the restroom, the hallway, and the entrance.My job is to sweep and mop.There are brooms and mops for both, so let’s use both to clean everything.I clean at the orphanage. It’s okay because I’m combing it, but is Riru okay?”
“I think that it is all right”
“If something happens, I’ll help you too, so don’t worry.”
I’m a refugee now, but I can’t say that I’m okay because I have memories of my previous life. If it’s cleaning, it’s something I’ve done a lot since I was little in my previous life, so it’s an easy win.
We sat there chatting about various things and waiting for the adventurers to disappear. It’s very refreshing to see adventurers that you don’t see very often. Is it okay for people to wear armor or wear such clothes? Some people are wearing scantily clad clothes that seem to suggest this.
I haven’t gone on an adventure yet, so I can only wear rationed clothes, but I’d like to buy something to wear when I save up some money. I wonder what kind of clothes there are, and how comfortable the new clothes will be. I’m looking forward to buying and wearing it.
That’s right, if you want to go on an adventure, you also have to buy equipment. That means you have to save more and more money. Wow, what if I don’t have enough money? I didn’t have time to think about buying citizenship.
Come to think of it, I wonder what Karoo will do next.
“Umm, I would like to do some outside work as an adventurer in the future, but what kind of work do you think Karu will take in the future?”
“That’s right, I can’t seem to decide. Because I can’t decide, I’ve been taking on many different jobs as an adventurer, but none of them fit me. Maybe it’s because I want to do everything, but I can’t narrow it down to just one. ”
I thought it would be a fixed thing once Kalu’s year came around, but it seems that’s not the case.
“But, I think it’s better to be an adventurer who takes an inside job than an adventurer who takes an outside job. That’s why it’s the opposite of Riru.”
“I’d like to work outside the office someday, but I also enjoy working inside the office, so I’d like to do it inside too.”
“That’s unusual. If you’re outside, you’re called outside, and if you’re inside, you’re called inside. Well, there’s another way to do it. Ah, what should I do?”
The two had fun talking about the future until the adventurers left. I’ll keep it a secret that I felt a little lonely thinking that this was the only time I could work with Karoo. It’s good to be together now.
