Episode 3.4 (1/2)
After leaving the apothecary, Lecan followed the route Shiira taught him toward the Adventurer Association.
On his way there, he got behind a cover and changed clothes. Wearing attires with proper defense and his trusty overcoat really calm him down.
He wasn't told how many Service Quests must he complete in particular.
According to Shiira, she would know the state of quests that Lecan had done.
”I'll send you a message once you've passed.”
In other words, he's got to continue doing these Service Quests until the passing verdict comes.
As Lecan needs to earn his keep, he's told her that he might have to do other quests beside the Service Quests.
Inside the Adventurer Association, there's four boys and girls in their teens, and a man in his forties.
”Telnis-san, I'd recommend this quest.”
A woman sitting behind the counter showed a piece of paper to a girl.
”What's written there?”
”The topmost is number, 181. Next is the subject. <Warehouse Cleaning>. Next is the client's name.”
She's explaining what's written there gradually. The other youths are huddling together as they stare at the paper and listen attentively to her. They're probably trying to learn written words even by a little through her explanation.
The man in his forties is glaring over papers posted on the wall one by one.
The woman was done with her explanation before long.
”I'm gonna take this quest.”
”Yes. Then, write your name here. <Telnis Accepted. Aira Received>. There, contract established. Do you know where it is?”
”Un.”
”Very well, don't forget to get the coin from the client once you're done with the job okay. It's the same as usual, you know the drill right?”
”Un. I'm going now.”
”Next is, Gado-kun.”
”Hold it. Can't you deal with my quest first.”
”My, Bordos-san. Of course. Everyone, wait a moment OK.”
The man interrupted, and the woman who seemed to be a staff member of the association checked his quest.
Lecan looked at the papers posted on the wall while listening to them behind him.
The wall is partitioned into four sections. Seems it's to differentiate qualifications for the quests one can accept. Copper Rank, Silver Rank, and Gold Rank. The fourth section has no qualification written on the quest tags, so any rank can probably take these quests. However, there's some subjugation quest for some very powerful magic beasts among the quests there. Must be do it at your own risk things.
Thankfully, Lecan understands most of the written words here. Even words he cannot understand, he can read it out loud, so he can just ask someone else. He has no idea how long he'll stay in this world, he's got to learn the words used in this world as much as possible.
Everyone else besides Lecan had already left, so he went to the counter.
”Good day (Haleef). I'm Lecan.”

”Ah, yes. I've heard about you from Chaney-san.”
