(035) Carol’s unique occupation

Translator: Tseirp

The number of people in front of the goddess statue increased so we decided to change location and left.

The red brick warehouse … or rather the slave trading post was just a stone’s throw away.

I entered the slave trading post together with Carol and Haru.

” … Welcome, eh, Carol … you’re already done?”

A bewitching woman about 40 years of age with long hair dressed in a long skirt said that. She was smoking on something like a pipe. Instead of the regular tobacco, it gave off an extremely sweet smell but I wasn’t a big fan of that fragrance.

“I’ve returned, Madame Quince.”

“This person is?”

“He helped me after the adventurers that I was contracted to died.”

” … I see. Carol, return to your room. I will have a talk with him.”

Carol obeyed Quince’s words and left.

She didn’t say farewell even until the end, such an indifferent person.

Well, I arbitrarily helped her so I shouldn’t expect her gratitude huh.

“Sorry, that girl lives in despair.”

Exhaling smoke from her mouth, Quince spoke. Living in despair.

I recalled her asking me to kill her.

“That’s the fourth party of adventurers to have departed with her and faced annihilation. Even if they are not wiped out, the number of deaths reaches double-digits.”

” … Why does that happen?”

“That girl is the owner of a unique job.”

“Unique job?”

I tilted my head to the unfamiliar term and Haru explained to me.

Unique jobs are innate jobs acquired since birth.

“The famous ones are hero, demon lord, royalty, and nobility. Nobles are born with the Noble job so there is a proverbial saying that we commoners will never become nobles no matter how hard we work. Additionally, although they are small in numbers, there are jobs that can only be acquired by specific individuals regardless of their job levels. There are some that are innate and some that are acquired. Also, unique job holders cannot easily change to other jobs and they possess peculiar skills that can only be used by that unique job.”

“So that’s what you mean by unique jobs …”

Jobs that can only be acquired by a specific person huh. Come to think of it, the goddess … among the blessings presented by Koshmar, there was one to become a hero.

“Temptress … that is that child’s job.” (TL: The job is not specifically sexual, so instead of seductress, it should be temptress)

“Temptress? It sounds like a job that is unrelated to Carol though?”

“At night, a particular pheromone is released from her body that attracts monsters. Apparently, it is a job like that. It was when that child was 14 years old, that unique job suddenly appeared and she was immobilized.”

“Immobilized?”

I once again heard an unfamiliar term so I asked by parroting the term. Although I feel apologetic to constantly interrupt the story.

“It refers to a situation whereby a person can’t change jobs in the usual temples. Or when the job change can’t be done unless by somebody above bishop-sama.”

I understood after listening to Haru’s explanation.
