Vol 1 Chapter 9 (2/2)

It looks like Noveh work evaluation

Fro was clean, and it looked like Hawkins-san remembered that That hy he referred her to scribal work

In a partitioned room where she wouldn’t have to face people, she wrote letters and the such based on their requests

Even if others couldn’t see her face, she earned herself quite a reputation based on her voice and conduct

“If it’s by your referral boss, even if it’s not as an adventurer, she could get hired onto the guild’s staff If she gets injured, then you could just get her a job here”

“Ahaha, while I’d beher injured wouldn’t be for the best Lyle-kun, you must be sure to be careful”

“Ah, yes”

After the paperas finished, Hawkins-san went around back and called out Novem After a while, she appeared from the employee-only exit

“Lyle-sama”

She waved at htly raised my hand to answer her

『Well then~ today’s Novem-chan’s as cute as ever… Why don’t you at least learn to be able to give a compliment or two, Lyle?』

(Fourth Generation, please shut up)

To Novem, who had wandered up, Zelpy-san explained tomorrow’s plans

“Noveoing to have you go out of the city and experience battlin’ ht? Well, if you’re not, then you’re gettin’ a lecture an’ some more odd jobs”

“Yes, Zelphy-san”

After confir our plans, we separated from Zelphy-san

As an adviser, she apparently had to regularly subuild An adviser’s job seems to be a pain in itself, in various ways

“I guess we should return”

“Right Let’s do soo back”

“Yeah, if you plan on shopping, I have today’s earnings, so I’ll pay”

“Really? How much did you make today?”

“Eight large copper coins! How about you?”

“… Six large coppers”

We left the reception room and had a little conversation as we descended the stairs

I didn’t think anything of it However, the ancestors see out…

『She sure is a good girl… purposely saying it was less to prop up her le compliment』

Getting fed up with the Fourth Generation’s cut-ins, I tried co her

“Hawkins-san spoke highly of you He said you were fast and polite with your work… well, I’m happy for you”

I had put allthat, but the ancestors were quite harsh

Starting with the First Generation…

『Zero points』

『Ten points』

『Well~ you were tactless about it, so thirty points』

『Zero』

『Eh? Me too? … Then fifteen points』

『You’re all quite harsh, aren’t you Ah, thirty points』

『I’m sorry, Lyle… twenty points』

(Don’t be giving rade! Even I kneas dicey the moment after I said it!)

But Nove

A smile took hold of her face, and she thanked to me

“Thank you veryoutside, Lyle-sama”

“Eh, um… t-that isn’t necessarily the case”

As I was beginning to feel nervous, the Jewel shouted for ether

Together, we headed for the bath house adjacent to the guild, and after washi+ng off our sweat, we headed out for shopping

… On a later date, when I tried asking Hawkins-san what her earning were for this day, he said it was nine large copper

Our first rest day in a while

Since co to Dalien, my time had mostly been occupied with odd jobs and physical labor, so I didn’t have much time to spare

But using this break, the two of us have things we have to do

That was heading to the realtor

“How about it? This apart adventurers It has three roo, it even has a toilet and bath installed”

The young salesperson at the real estate agency referred us to the properties in his possession

I, myself, wanted to choose one as soon as possible But Novem proceeded with caution

“About how high would the price be?”

“Let’s see… there’s a down paye of fifty large copper per , madam”

“… Can you show us the next option?”

(Eh? You want to see more?)

That was already the fourth, but Novem continued to look for a different apartuild

Near the guild was a place that ordinary people were reluctant to live, so there was apparently a lot of co for adventurers

“This one’s a true steal, e copper!”

While the e it was relatively cheap and suitable for our purposes It was just me and Novem, so it would be fine even if it was narrow, I think

But Novem seemed dissatisfied as she earnestly looked around the room

I heard a voice from the Jewel as well

『I think you should give this one up』

It was the Second’s voice Recently, it looked like they’ve been breaking the rules Thinking about my own sake, I think it would be best if they could keep to themselves as best as they can, but even so, all those besides the Fifth seem to speak up quite a bit

In a small voice, I asked

“Why is that?”

『Just a feeling, but it’s quite an o at that If it’s here, then even the previous place’s better And wait, the wallpaper looks like it’s been replaced, right… that part right there, especially, looks suspicious』

The Third Generation’s opinion was just a feeling

“Uuess?”

I believed in the Third’s senses, and raised an objection Novereed with me

“That’s right Could you let us see the other properties?”

“… Understood (Hah, as I thought, it’s still noticeable…)”

I heard the sales rep say so in a small voice, and I was a little curious about what exactly was being hidden, but at the sa

In the end, we didn’t end upinto an apartment

With Noveulations of the ancestors, e ended up in wasn’t an apartment, but a house

It was a house for rent, but it was also relatively wide

It required soht silver, and its e, and if we did some work on it, it looked like it would turn out to be quite a nice place

There weren’t hborhood, and… there wasn’t an atested that there would be any more On the contrary, it looked like the numbers would decrease

“It was a limited time offer, but with two years, we may very well ht, Lyle-sama?”

“Y-yeah… but the apart that would have worked just as well, though”

We barely brought any luggage with us, so our move ended in an instant

We could’ve left the cleaning to a contractor, but as it was our house noe started cleaning it for ourselves

This was an area scheduled for redevelopment, and in two years, this house was set to be demolished

Because of that, there wasn’t much around us

I won’t say there was nothing, but considering the scope of Dalien’s growth, it was quite a lonely residential area Once redevelopment ends, I wonder just ill become of this place

“It looks like the people in our neighborhood are adventurers as well I believe they were thinking the sa”

Right, as h adventurer ratio

Because of the limited-time availability, the properties were clearly cheaper than their value

There was both a bath and toilet, and we had obtained quite a vast house I’ve no complaints But the reason the ancestors chose this place was a little…

『If it’s here, then no hbors!』

That

Ae to Novem was already set in stone To su us to act like a married couple already
