Chapter 9 The most easiest Job

To be independent

To do so, I need money.

To eat food or buying house all requires money.

“Media-san, please introduce me to an easy job!”

For now, I went to the Sage’s house and bowed my head to hear her story.

She said it herself that she will teach me any knowledge I don’t know.

I shall be bestowed on the wisdom of profiting.

“When I thought you came suddenly without a prior notice, you hit me with that. gosh, your greed is the way to direct.”

Media who seemed to just finished taking a shower was wiping her hair with a town and sat in front of me.

“oh well, …it was I who told you to rely on me. I don’t mind telling you but if it’s you, can’t you easily earn money in Magician’s guild?”

I thought of it at first but a newbie suddenly taking Guild quests are bit too high for me to handle.

“I’m sure they will give quests like hunt Minotaurs?”

“you’re right and around this area that is a standard job.”

Last time I was successful but I’m not sure if it will be successful the second time.

It would really be great if you teach me a safe and lax way for earning money.

“You got a powerful soul but why at small things like this you become petty and cautious…”

“that’s how my character is, don’t worry about small things like that. so do you have it? an easy way to earn?”

“Stop acting all polite all of a sudden. oh well…let’s see. As a quest trial, how about you will gather the materials I need in my back garden? There are rarely any monsters there “

Ooh As expected from sage. Very service-minded.

“Aa but, one person won’t be enough”

“I should gather that many?”

“right, gathering three types of herbs. One person won’t be able to carry it all.”

I see, then 2 people will do.

perfect timing,

“Oi, Soulas. Come out”

“A, Hai”

Soulas came out in a human form after slightly knocking on the grimoire.

Seeing such scene Sage’s eyes opened wide and stood speechlessly for a while.

“…Hou, I’m surprised. That grimoire can turn into a human. Quite rare ability I see.”

“It’s like that?”

the grimoire I know is this one so I don’t really know the difference.

“umu, it’s rare because there is little to no people who holds that much power to turn into a human….by the way, what can that girl do?”

even if you tell me what she can do.

“Soulas. have you ever don stuff like quest?”

“Nope, none. oh well, I’m a grimoire so I can use quite a bit of magic and fight with it”

Soulas denied it while shaking her head.

it seems like she has zero experience.

“…that’s what she said”

“fufu…then I think it will be good if you two form a party? As a beginner, you guys can learn from each other   “

“Party, I see~”

I think it will be quite unbalanced with only human and grimoire in the party.

and it seems like both of us won’t be able to use magic

“It’s normal to do a quest for the magician guild with a party. It would be a good to prepare for it in advance”

Even so, If I don’t have the grimoire with me won’t I become a cripple without being able to utilized magic.

“e? That’s not true Kouta-san. You can use a magic as long as you remembered the name, even when you don’t have me in my real form. since your soul mastered it.”

“really”

I wish you could’ve said that earlier. I’m starting to feel embarra.s.sed at me for always holding the grimoire in one hand and using magic.

“I’m sorry. it’s just that it was quite hard to tell you about it”

Oh, well I guess having grimoire in my hand is quite useful till I remember the magic’s names.

“Maa, whatever. it’s our first job. for now, let’s earn some money”

“O, O~”

I and Soulas together went to the Sage’s mansion’s back yard, to gather the herbs as instructed.

Basically, we are collecting herbs grown in the backyard forest. For now, I grab as many herbs I can see within my sight.

Soulas with her huge appet.i.te went deeper into the forest and is not coming back.
