4 Four. A disturbing shadow approaching everyday life.txt (1/2)

Val returns to his daily life as if nothing happened.

He doesn't try to be prepared for any unusual event that may occur at any time.

The residents of the neighborhood are simple and unpretentious, but they might sense a small change due to the length of their relationship.

So Bal does his usual day job.

Today, he is collecting medicinal herbs.

It was not the high-class medicine that the residents of the nobleman's quarter and first-class areas would buy, but the cheap material that the common people of the second and third-class areas would buy.

Since it was a job that anyone could do, it was not well-trained, and no one with any skills would bother to take it.

That's why Baru makes sure to take it regularly.

The delivery was to the town's apothecary.

'Thanks for the help, Val. It's hard to find anyone who takes such a modest, low wage job so seriously.

'Because if I don't take these jobs seriously, I can't make a living.

He smiles humbly at his apothecary father who expresses his gratitude.

Of course, it's a construction project.

The amount of money paid to him as part of the Eight Divine Brilliance (Levatain) is even more than the pension that the royal family receives.

He uses it to pay for his charitable activities while he himself leads a modest life.

It's complicated. I'm old enough to know better, but I can't afford to lose anyone who can do this kind of work.

The apothecary's father folds his arms and says, ”How's the son of a b*tc*?

”How's that son of a b*tc*?

My dad makes a reluctant face at Val's question.

'No,' he says, 'I can't. He said he can't be the town's poor apothecary, that adventurers have more dreams. I scolded him to stop talking nonsense and we had a big fight.

The Adventurer or .......

Val agreed to a point.

If he could get customers in the first class area, he would still be able to get customers in the second class area, but he wouldn't make much money doing business in the second class area.

The apothecary's father was poorly dressed in a worn-out shirt and apron.

Adventurers are at risk of dying, but if they succeed, they can rise in the ranks of the nobility.

I'm tempted to say that the creation of the adventurer system was superfluous, even though His Majesty the Emperor is a fine man.
