47 Episode 47 "Employment Contracts in Another World and How to Do It".txt (1/2)

'So if I need to go through the guild to get a job, I will, but in this case, I'll go to ......?'

I looked at the guild's reception desk.

The woman standing in front of the counter looked away from me like, huh. I heard her whisper a small mutter. ''It's fine as long as the person in question is satisfied with each other. The guild doesn't interfere,'' what the hell is that?

Doesn't the guild here protect the adventurers like Aine's 'common people's guild'?

''That's right. What do you want to do, Rafilia-san? Will you accept my request?

'Oh, yes. If that's the deal, you can go to .......

It's going to hurt your career, Raphilia-Grace.

A masked man stands in front of Raphilia, blocking her view as she gets up from her chair.

'You're persistent, these guys.

''You let us explain so much to you, and you refuse?

Don't you think that's irresponsible?

The Adventurer's Guild can't ask this kind of person for a job in the future, can they? It might be the joint responsibility of all the elves, right?

The three masked men verbally blame Raphilia.

It's a common pattern in ex-world interviews and such. They make people anxious about the future and put the interviewee on the spot. Do these guys want Rafilia that badly? Or do they want to put you in a position where you don't know what's going on and get the job on the cheap?

It's annoying. I'm getting tired of this kind of crap.

”Ms. Rafilia.

'Oh, yes!　The man in the bath!

'Sorry to interrupt you, but can I have a word with the Divine Order of Life?　I don't want the guild and you to get in trouble.

Yes, sir!　Of course. Oh, please!

Rafilia is convinced.

All we have to do now is keep those blokes, the Knights of Divine Life, quiet.

This is where we're going to live. It's just a matter of time before we have to use our cheat skills to blow them up, so let's settle this matter peacefully.

”Reggie.

Yes, my Lord.

I hand her a piece of parchment, calling her casually mingling between people, and I hand her the parchment.

Reggie takes the pen provided in the guild and smoothly writes the sentences I instructed him to write. I'm still not used to writing in the other world, you know.

Yeah, that's about it.

I'll tell you what. I understand your situation. Then how about we write each other's terms of employment on a piece of paper and let Rafilia-san herself choose?

I show Raphilia and the masked men the terms and conditions of employment that Reggie has written on a piece of paper.

The contents are as I said before. Elderslime measures. The job description is to provide research materials. The reward is 120 arsha. The holding time is about 2 hours. It's not going to be a battle. In fact, if there is a battle, we'll take care of it.

'This way we'll know exactly what we're hiring each other for. It's a job that would be irresponsible to refuse. Isn't that fair?

...... Where do you think that's necessary?

The masked man looked at me.

'I don't know your terms of employment. If you're definitely offering a better deal than I am, it would be an embarrassment to interfere,'' he said. Let's just be quiet and back off. How about that?

I replied.

”...... is true?

Yeah.

I nod, and the masked man calls the guild's receptionist over. I click my tongue and run my pen over the parchment on the table. His hands are awkward. It's as if he's writing in a world he doesn't know.

'Now you won't complain!

The masked man held up the parchment to everyone in the Adventurer's Guild and showed it to them.

''Quest: Dungeon Exploration Assistant.

Schedule: 3 days minimum. Maximum of 5 days.

Job description: assistant combatant. Rearguard. No close combat is required. Healing magic is provided free of charge. Defensive support available.

Equipment is provided free of charge. Lodging is provided for the duration of your employment. Private rooms. Includes a bath. Meals included. Rest periods.

Compensation: 6,000 arsha'

Whoa, a sigh echoed within the guild.

Indeed, it was a surprisingly good condition.

''These are the conditions that we, the Knights of Divine Life, offer to Raphilia-Grace.

'Didn't you say earlier that you'd be paid a fifth for your attitude?

Now, what are you talking about?

So you're saying that those terms of employment will definitely be offered to Mr. Rafilia?

You're out of line, my dear. Isn't that what we're talking about?

...... I don't think we could do it under those conditions.

Raphilia's face turns blue at my line.

'You can't be irresponsible, can you? Other people's lives depend on it. Conditions of employment are important, and it's only natural that the one who can't provide adequate conditions of employment would step aside.'

Hey, ......, let's take a bath. ......

Raphilia trembles.

The masked men, by contrast, are beating their chests.

'You seem to understand. Now go away. She's going to be our loyal ──── member of the party, that is.

Yeah. Then let's make a 'contract' with each other to hire Rafilia-san on these terms, just in case.

.................. Yeah.

The masked man is exclaiming.

Okay, it took.

”Hmm?　There's nothing wrong with that. Like I said, it's just a matter of what terms of employment are 'definitely' (・・・・・) offered to Mr. Rafilia.

The...?

If you hire Rafilia on those terms, you won't mind signing a contract with her, right?　There's no way that the ”contract will be punished”. Besides, you were trying to make a 'deal' with Mr. Rafilia on those terms just now, weren't you?

The masked man looks from side to side at my line, as if he's looking for relief.

'Bo, there are irregularities that happen in adventures. If you bind yourself with a ”contract”, there is a chance that something will happen and put you in danger. So...

'Yeah, that's fine. But I'll make sure to 'contract' with Mr. Rafilia to keep the terms and conditions of this employment. I'd like to guarantee you that I'll pay you as little as I get paid.

I know there are irregularities in our adventures.

So what I'm asking is the minimum line that these guys can guarantee.

Normally, the Adventurer's Guild would be the coordinator and protect the adventurers. But that doesn't work in Irgafa's guild. The fact that the guild officials turned a blind eye to the fact that Rafilia was getting a pressure interview and the guild officials turned a blind eye to it is proof of that.

And these guys, the Knights of Divine Life, can't be trusted, no matter what you think.

If that's the case, we'll just have to ask the 'God of Contracts' to come out.

I'm giving them unreasonable conditions. And the reward is ensured to be paid by the 'contract'. I'll fill in the difference in remuneration between us and the Knights of Divine Life with certainty. What do you want to do?　You could at least guarantee the amount of money you're getting paid in a 'contract'.

No ............ no no no!

The masked man shook his head.

'Some ups and downs depending on the outcome of the search!　Of course, what's missing, we're going to move in the direction of eliminating life insecurity in terms of lifetime income in the long run, but of course!

'How about if I succeed in my quest, I'll pay you properly?　If you can't get the full amount, I'm guaranteeing you half the money.

No, no, no, no, no!
