CHAPTER 3

Ara, isn’t that Maris-kun?

Does he need something from me?

「Maris-kun, good morning」

「Obaachan, good morning. Do you need something from the guild? Would you like to go in?」

Maa, he understood well.

「That’s right. There’s something I need a little help with. But you see, there are so many people」

「The guild is overcrowded in the morning. The good requests are first come, first served」

「Maa, was that so? I can’t come back again later…」

「Then, wait for a bit. You have something you need help with, right? I will call Anna-san over」

Maris-kun weaves through the crowd and enters the guild. It’s good to be young, isn’t it? That agile movement… that would be impossible for me.

「Koyu-sama, the arrangement is for tomorrow… do you have any urgent business?」

「Yes. I have a different request I would like to ask for today」

「Then, I will hear you inside. Please, come this way」

Ara, I was led to a different room than yesterday… I wonder why?

Incidentally, Maris-kun is by my side. What a good child.

Because Anna-san has offered me a seat, Maris-kun sits beside me. It’s a wooden bench. It took a bit of time to enter the guild which tired me out a little, so it really helps.

「What kind of request do you want to put out?」

「I would like to sightsee around the town, I would like to do some shopping, visit the church, and I’m thinking of seeing the library. I would like to request a guard that could act as a guide and willing to carry my baggage」

「Sightseeing… is it… I understand. So, a guard for the day, it is. That will be 5 Silver」

「5 Silver, is it? Yes, then let’s go with that」

「Could you wait for a moment, please? I will post the request. May I talk to you concerning the tomorrow’s schedule during the wait?」

「Yes. I understand」

I hope the guards would be found soon. Time is precious.

「Obaachan, where do you want to go? I will guide you?」

Maris-kun, how kind you are. But you see, I would like someone to carry my things.

「Thank you. But, I would like to shop. The baggage will most likely be too heavy, I’m sorry. I’m really happy for your kind thoughts, though」

「Uun. I just said it selfishly. But, where do you want to go?」

「Ufufu. The market, right? Church? Also, is there a library? Ah, could you teach me something? The units of money over here. I’m not from here, so I don’t know well. Do you know about money?」

I remembered when talking about places I want to visit. That I don’t understand the units of money yet. Although I have a lot, I don’t even understand how much I really have. I would be troubled if someone ripped me off. Even though I intend to go to the market now. I’m glad that I met only kind people yesterday, but. It’s not like I will come across only kind people from now on.

I have realized just now. I was too absentminded until now. All this time after meeting that G.o.d-sama.

I was hurrying, so I talked quite fast. Maris-kun is looking at me blankly. Ah, what to do?

「You want to know about money? Anone, Iron, and Copper, and Silver, and Gold and………」

Maris-kun politely taught me.

From what I heard,

Iron Coin = Children’s pocket money

Copper Coin = Iron Coin x10 (One thin slice of rye bread)

Big Copper Coin = Copper Coin x10

Silver Coin = Big Copper Coin x10

Big Silver Coin = Silver Coin x10

Gold Coin = Big Silver Coin x10

Big Gold Coin = Gold Coin x10

He apparently has never seen White Gold Coin before so he doesn’t know.

Two parents and two children can live on 1 Gold and 2 Silver, tte…… I wonder if I made a mistake…… because it feels like 1 Copper is 10 yen. Un. A White Gold Coin in the previous world…… 200… million yen… I didn’t have that much in my pa.s.sbook.

I had about 5 million… there’s the house, pension, and also the bank deposit.
