Chapter 28
Escort Quest
After booking the roohts, too, it was afternoon when Ilya and I finally went out
It turned so late because et better
We headed out after I had a light lunch in the dining hall on the first floor
now, that lunch
I don't knohy, but when I ordered so like regulars cheered There was no end to theso I decided not to think anything of it
Actually, the customers weren't afraid of me but Ilya?
Really, what happened there?
”Ilya, speaking of yesterday”
Hmm?
I re thereafter Whatever happened there?
I have sou, but
”Uh weird?”
”No, Alice-sama, you were beautiful as always and very cool”
”Cool?”
What?
That's the first time I was told that since I was reborn into this body
oh, well
I' that forever
”Let's head to the Guild first”
For noe should work
On the way to the guild, I got the feeling that this Lufin was prospering more than Rinnal after all
By carriage, they were only a day's travel apart, but if you looking at a map, Rinnal was certainly remote and no halfway point to some place further out
In short, if you didn't have business in Rinnal, you didn't go there
In comparison, this Lufin connected the royal capital in the south, Rinnal in the north and towns to the east and west to boot You could call it a blessed town, location-wise
That's why there were many travelers of all kinds of races
Actually, when I spotted a girl with dog ears, I stared for a while
Ilya adh
Yes, you must not undress people with your eyes
All those went through ainst a wall in the Guild
To be honest, if the er I could've found out more about this world, but it was a local map so what can you do
”Looking at this, it's about 3 days by carriage to the capital? That's a bit far, isn't it”
”Indeed We need to settle your business today, Alice-sama, and use tomorrow to prepare for the journey”
Preparing for a journey, huh
It seems like if I don't properly calculate our expenses, we're going to run into soe problem midway
But even saying so, well, it's only three days so I guess it's nothing to get that nervous over
Speaking of which, I looked at Ilya
We were about to head out adventuring, so she had equipped her leather robe and her iron spear, but Ilya apart from this and the one set of service clothes she had worn at the Firm, she had no clothes
I had easily gotten changes of clothes froht what I lacked in Rinnal
Not thinking about Ilya then was my fault indeed
Won't I be a failure of a master if I leave it like this?
”Ilya, let's go shopping for clothes tomorrow For you, of course”
”There is no no, thank you very much, Alice-sama”
She al my face she apparently reconsidered and nodded
Her smile was a little sheepish
crap, I
But I mean, isn't it a bit lonely if people are that reserved?
From Ilya's point of view, that's how slaves are in this world
But forwith
”In fact, I did findunderwear”
”Underwear?”
I-I see
Certainly, she e of clothes
As far as her clothes go, for now she can swap between her casual clothes and the Leather Robe
But, underwear!?
Does sheto buy it with her?
Considering hoe arrived at the topic, it's a bit difficult for me to tell her to buy it on her own
Thecame back to me
”It's not weird There's nothing weird I'm a woman I'm a woman Maybe”
”?”
When I stop having this inner conflict ht be the end of me
Be strong, me!
When we asked the guild's receptionist about the ruin's location and if there wasn't an easy job around there, they told us there was just one job of escorting soh the ruins
Literally two birds with one stone
The reas fifteen silver coins, 1500 Rook
Apparently we could depart right away, so it was just right for us
It would cover our hotel fee in this town
But thinking about it, owning your own house really would change a lot
If we stayed in inns all the ti funds would run dry sooner or later
Let's buy a house in the capital
I begansuch a dream just a little
”We're accepting this request”
”Understood Please sign this form, then Also, if you either forfeit or fulfill the request, please hand in a report”
”I see”
I signed so like a contract and received some documents
Speaking of which, shi+on-san had also signed so
”Dear customer, is this the first request you accept?” the receptionist asked after checking istration information
”Yes, that's right”
”Would you likefor the Guild?”
”Ah yes, please do”
Come to think of it, I never had the leisure or always left it to other, so I have no idea about my job
”Understood Basically, jobs from the Guild come with a rank S-Rank, A-Rank, B-Rank, like this jobs are classified until E-Rank The request you just accepted is categorized as E-Rank, a job that any and all adventurers can accept
”Heh, I see”
If you can earn 1500 Rook with an E-Rank request, then adventuring pays quite well
Well, it ht also cost you your life, so if the compensation is little or much is rather difficult to decide
”To take on higher-ranked requests, you need to clear ten requests of a lower rank If you forfeit a job, as a penalty it is subtracted from the achieved requests If you have no achieved requests for that rank and you forfeit, it is still counted as a minus, so please take care, okay?”
I see, so you can go into the negatives, too
I nodded that I understood
”Rank er or difficulty Of course the rewards increase along with the rank, but please don't forget that so does the danger to your lives,” the receptionist bowed earnestly
