THE AUTHOR REINCARNATED?! [Vol 5] Chapter 3 – Lack of Money (1/2)

Well, this is troubling

I don’t have a place to sleep for tonight

I gave all the money I had to Elsa and am now penniless

Though I could go back to the ain after I left like this

It can’t be helped, I should go and do some quests as an adventurer to earn some money

“Doji, we’re going to the adventurer’s guild Come”

If push comes to shove I make Doji help me out

Anyway, I have to get out of this beggar-like state no matter what

“Heeh, so that’s how the adventurer’s guild looks like fro”

As we entered the guild Doji looked around curiously

As it’s the end of the year there aren’t a lot of adventurers here

“Yo, isn’t that Mister Akatsuki? Long time no see!”

Crescent Moon who sat at her usual place waved her hand

She showed just as much skin as ever, even in winter

How can’t she be cold with her valley being exposed like this?

Well, I don’t particularly dislike this though

“So, who’s that huge big brother?”

After having scanned Doji from top to bottom Crescent Moon uttered those words

Huge, you say, you’re e as well!

“This is Doji I’m in his care”

“I’ht-hand man”

Doji stuck out his chest as he said this

When did you becoht-hand man?

Though I wanted to say soht-hand man” but I withstood the temptation

It didn’t want to offend Doji who took care of me a lot

“Hmpf, I’m Crescent Moon So, what’s the matter? It’s the end of the year, you know?”

Crescent Moon’s ansas rather curt

Please beand have a little more interest in Doji!

“No, I was just wondering if there are any good quests around as my job came to a standstill”

Crescent Moon shrugged at my words

“Well,but rookie requests And there aren’t any adventurer’s stupid enough to do them around here either”

Then why are you here?

Well, I wonder if she doesn’t have anywhere else to go or if she just has too much time to spare

But that’s troubling, I have to earn money after all

Just to be sure I looked over the bulletin board filled with requests

Search for a pet dog

Help with the year-end cleaning

Need soht

Guard my house while I’m on my trip

……There really isn’t anything else but rookie requests!

I mean, don’t they treat adventurers like handymen?

“I told you, didn’t I? There’s no one to sub around this time But well, I could search for some work and hand it over to you, how about it?”

Crescent Moon grinned as she said that and stretched out her right hand

“Too bad, Crescent Moon I’ht now Therefore I can’t pay the information fee”

“What did you say?!　But mister, you’re this place’s feudal……”

I quickly interrupted Crescent Moon as about to shout out in a loud voice

Don’t announce someone’s identity in an already quite place

“There are soht about earning some money”

“Hmpf, so it’s like that, huh? Then…… How about I’ll lend you some?”

I could see right through that sche at Crescent Moon’s smile

Even if you’re wearing a red mask I can still understand that

That’s probably how the devil looks like when he approaches you with a contract to sell your soul

“Please stop, I bet the interest rate will be terribly high, isn’t that so?”

“Hehe, did I get exposed? Can’t be helped”

She shrugged like a child which caused soue out

Even if you act cute it won’t do you any good

One can clearly see your true intentions after all

“Ho to that place after such a long time?”

“With that place you mean……”The Stone Labyrinth”?”
