210-192 Dont you work? (1/2)

Viscount Nenus contacted the inn unexpectedly early in the evening of that day.

It would be five days before he could spare the time. He told us to visit the mansion in the morning of that day.

He also gave me an invitation, which would allow me to enter the gate of the mansion.

But that's a long way off.

Well, it's early, isn't it?　Considering the current situation.

When Toya was a little frustrated, Yuki said the opposite.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it.

...... Oh, there was that thing with Kerg. You seem to be busy cleaning up after yourself.

I'm glad to hear that you're doing a good job, as a resident here.

It's true that I don't want to live under a lord who deals with disturbances in a perfunctory manner.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I think it's a good thing.

However, since the disturbance itself had occurred, the fact that he didn't seem to be particularly competent was a little worrisome.

”Five days from now, that's four whole days of free time.

That's a long time to spend idly.

If it were one or two days, I could choose to kill time by wandering around the city, but four whole days is a bit long.

I've had enough of bookstores, haven't I?

”I've already bought a lot of stuff in Kerg. We've already bought a lot of books in Kerg, so even if we go there, we'll probably read the ones we have first.

Haruka nodded at Yuki's words.

I haven't read a single book yet, so even if I went to the bookstore, I wouldn't be able to decide what books to buy.

”And then there's the ...... guild's archives?

I don't think it would be that much of a substitute, but even if we were to read ......, wouldn't a day be enough?

Natsuki reluctantly agreed with Toya's suggestion.

But even if Natsuki is right and we have a bigger archive than Kerug, I don't think it will make that much of a difference.

We've already ordered materials on demons from Diora, and the only thing we have to do is to read materials on the geography of the area.

In that case, there are few options left.

A request? Like an adventurer.

”Yes. But it's hot outside, and I don't want to take on too much.

I wish I could find a job that wasn't so hot.

That's impossible. Unless there's a convenient dungeon.

As we were talking about this, I noticed Mitya looking at me strangely.

”Mitya, what's wrong?

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm not sure what to say.

”Don't you work when it's hot, Haruka?

”What?

Did your father go to work every day, even in the middle of summer?

””.........”

In a way, it's a natural question, and we're all silent.

'It's too hot to work'.

It's as if it's a tropical island where it rains and you have the day off.

This would not be possible in a normal occupation.

When Mary saw us, she pulled Mitya's hand as if in a panic.

I'm sorry. Mitya, don't say anything funny. There's a difference between being an adventurer and a normal job.

As if following Mary's lead, Haruka answered Mitya's genuine question.

You're right. ....... You know, Mitya. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

Yeah.

That's why it's important to recover after each job and take on the next job in perfect condition to be safe.

Is that so?　But there are people who work every day.

But some people work every day.” Mitya nodded her head, but Haruka nodded deeply and continued.

That's what happens to adventurers who can't earn enough money to rest. In other words, those adventurers are in danger because they can't afford it.

I see.　My sisters are high ranked, so they can work with ease.

Haruka's explanation made me smile and nod. You're right.

It's not wrong.

It's not wrong, but why does it make me feel like I've rounded up a child?

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what you need to do.

I'm sure you're right. You can decide whether or not to accept the request after considering the efficiency and other factors.

As you can imagine, no one in this situation would say, ”I'm not going to the guild because it's too hot.

Although it seemed to postpone the problem, we agreed to do so for the time being, and then headed to the inn's dining room for dinner.

The dinner served there was not particularly delicious, but fortunately it was good enough to eat.

At that price, if the food had been bad, I would have been tempted to change my lodging.

However, the taste of the food itself was generally better than that of Kumatei, which is a subtle point.

While the food tended to be gut-wrenching at the Bear Pavilion, the food at this inn was a little lighter, more to the liking of women, but even taking this into consideration, even Haruka and her friends said that the food at the Bear Pavilion was better than the food at the Bear Pavilion.

The overall price is a bit high, but I guess we have to accept it as a city price.

When I think of Sahlstat, I can forgive a few things with a big heart.

The best experience I got there may be the guts to put up with a little food.

I'll be back.

The next day. We visited the adventurer's guild as we had decided yesterday.

The time of day was the same as usual, when there were fewer people around.

Mary and the others stayed at the inn.

They were planning to work, but they couldn't bring two non-adventurers with them.

I thought about giving them a book to pass the time, but the truth was that Mary and the others could not read.

Well, to be more precise, Mary could read numbers and a few words, but she was not able to read a book at all.

Not surprisingly, considering the literacy rate and age of people in this country, the ability to read and write is quite important - or rather, an advantage.

Even if they want to be independent from us, their ability to do so will make a big difference in the range of jobs they can do.

So we gave Mary a simple book we had, and Mitya a list of letters that Natsuki had made quickly, and told her to practice.
