After a while, the adventurer was no longer seen at all. It’s almost time for work.
“Okay, first I need to get some work tools.”
“Yes. Where is it?”
“It’s at the end of the back hallway. Let’s go.”
There is a hallway in the middle between the counter and the waiting area. As I walked there, there was a door at the end of the hallway. Karoo feels free to open it and finds various cleaning tools inside.
“Bucket, dustpan, broom, mop. Two of each.”
I took them out and handed them the things I needed.
“Riru, clean the waiting area. I’ll take care of the other areas.”
“But then there are a lot of places in the Karoo to clean.”
“The other places aren’t that big, so it’s okay. If Riru finishes early, you can help me out.”
“Understood”
“Well, first we have to get some water from the well. The well is behind the adventurer’s guild, so let’s go together.”
Return down the hallway with your tools. When I arrive at the waiting area, I leave my tools in the corner and head out the doorway with only my bucket. From there, I went around the adventurer’s guild and went to the back, and there was a plaza.
“Wow, this place is really big. What are we going to do here?”
“I don’t know much about the details, but I heard that some adventurers are training themselves here. It seems like there’s no one here today.”
There were also some benches placed at the edge of the square, and some trees were planted for shade. Guilds have everything, and they are truly a blessing.
There was also a well in the corner of the square. I approached the well with Karoo and quickly drew water.
“I’ll show you an example.”
Karoo dropped the bucket to the bottom, shook the string, and pulled with all his might. If you pull it with both hands alternately, the bucket will rise. He took the pail and poured the water inside into a bucket.
“It’s something like this. Try it too, Riru.”
“yes”
I also try to imitate the Karoo and draw water from a well. Dropping the bucket is easy, but pulling it up is very difficult. But this is also necessary to gain strength, so I have to work hard. I was able to pull up the pail and fill the bucket with water.
Then, the two of them slowly returned to the guild carrying a heavy bucket.
“Okay, I’ll start cleaning from the hallway, so please do your best, Riru.”
“Yes. See you later.”
At this point, we split into two groups and began work. There is no one in the waiting area, so you can clean as you like without being disturbed. Okay, let’s start by sweeping.
I started by placing the chair upside down on the table. There are over 20 tables and nearly 100 chairs. It was quite difficult, but if I concentrated, I was able to finish it quickly.
Now, the real work begins: sweeping. He grabs a broom and sweeps away the trash from under the table. There is a lot of garbage, such as dry grass, dirt, and spilled food. Clean them out from under the table.
I plan to collect the swept garbage in the corner of the waiting area and remove it with a dustpan later. Sweep under the table, gather it up, and pop it in the corner. Repeat it over and over again.
While I was concentrating on my work, I finished sweeping everything under the table. The rest is in the corner of the room and in front of the counter. Sweep thoroughly from the corners of the room that haven’t been swept yet to the corners where trash has accumulated. Then, I was surprised to see that more and more lumps of garbage were forming. There was a lot of dirt stuck to the floor, so let’s get all of this trash out.
When you finish sweeping the corner of one side, start sweeping the next side. Another pile of garbage has formed. There’s a lot of trash that’s hard to see, and I didn’t know about it even though I came here almost every day.
Then I finished sweeping the entire waiting hall. Next is the hole in front of the counter. There were only two receptionists at the counter, and the rest of the guild members were working on something in the back. If this were the case, it wouldn’t bother you.
This time, I started cleaning from the corner of the room, right in front of the counter. Sweep vigorously with a broom to remove dirt. As a result, a lump of garbage quickly forms here as well.
The lump of garbage grew larger as it progressed, until it was the size of a fist. It would be troublesome to let it grow any further, so I moved it to the place where it collects garbage.
Then he starts sweeping again from in front of the counter. The only sounds that could be heard in the quiet hall were the sounds of sweeping and the voices of the guild members talking in the back. It feels kind of idyllic.
Sweeping in a daze for a bit, but not too leisurely. Before I knew it, the sweeping had finished. Time passes so quickly. Yeah, where should I put the trash? Let’s ask Karoo.
Once I put down my cleaning tools, I went out into the hallway where Karoo was, and saw Karoo just before entering the bathroom.
“Karu, I want to ask you something.”
“Hmm, what happened?”
“Do you have something to put garbage in?”
“Ah, that’s right. I forgot. There’s a jute bag where the tools were kept, so I put them in there and then put them all out at the end.”
I put it away and pointed to the end of the hallway where the tools were. Knowing that much was enough, so I quickly went to the end of the hallway, took out a jute bag from inside, and returned to the waiting hall.
Then I put the garbage in the dustpan and put it in a jute bag. Okay, now you can wipe it clean.
Next, dip the mop into a bucket of water, wet it, and squeeze the tip with your hand. It would probably have been easier if I had the device I had in my previous life to squeeze with my foot, but I wouldn’t call it a luxury.
When you wring the mop, it first wipes from the bottom of the table. The dirt that couldn’t be removed with a broom will be removed, and the area under the table will become sparkling clean. It feels good to be clean, but there’s still a lot to wipe, so let’s do our best.
When you’re done wiping, approach the next table and wipe again. As I repeated this process, the water in the bucket became more and more dirty. I have to go change the water.
Once I finished wiping down everything under the table, I started wiping down from corner to corner of the waiting hall. The area around here isn’t that dirty, so it goes smoothly. In no time at all, the waiting area was wiped clean.
I put all the chairs in the waiting room down on the floor and go here to change the water. When I returned, Karoo was at the doorway and had begun cleaning the entrance.
“Ah, Riru. I’m just here, what about Riru?”
“Only the hall in front of the counter.”
“Hey, it ended pretty quickly.”
Karoo complimented me, impressed. I want to finish my work early and have some free time. When I entered the guild, I immediately put the mop into the bucket, washed it, and wringed it out. I started wiping down the front of the counter.
The hall here was also quite dirty, so I wiped it with all my might. If you go back and forth over and over and wipe with concentration, the hall will become clean in the blink of an eye. By the time I lost my concentration, I had wiped down all the holes here.
“Phew, it’s finished.”
Looking at the completed hall gave me a sense of satisfaction. It feels really good. With this, the cleaning inside the guild was completed perfectly.
