Chapter 17 - A Step Forward, A Step Back

『That's really a the lives of two people, the third one made her entrance That was totally unexpected Lyle, somehow you are at the side of ”the have” aren't you』

It was the Third as talking happily What helike luck factor No, at this case perhaps it's evil luck instead? No, calling it evil luck

Bad thing……I haven't done anything like that, or it should be

At present ere borrowing a roooing ahead In respond to Sophisan who suddenly appeared, Nove and hed my mind

Nove well, she was an able woman as devoted totoward Arisan, she possessed a mind with tendency toward hareirls aroundtables placed inside the roo in front of Zelphy-san Novem and Aria sat at both my sides, while Sophisan sat beside Novem

Zelphy-san cleared her throat

「Aa~, so that's it The young miss there want to work as adventurer in order to return the favor to Lyle Is it okay if I thought of it like that?」

Sophisan slightly casted her eyes down She was sitting with her back straight and her resolute face blushi+ng She was bright red until her ears

「Ye, yes! What Iphysical labor The, there isn't any otherto it!」

The Sixth murmured from inside the Jehere only I could hear him

『Physical labor, is it For soirl's mouth, it sounded obscene』

Surely because there hat happened just now Sophisan declared in the guild──furthermore in front of a lot of people that she would pay back her debt to ed from ”idiot noble son” to ”wo to a bad direction

Zelphy-san lazily waved her hand and interrupted that talk

「I get it already so calm down I'll ask just one ht?」

Sophian nodded and looked down

「Bu, but, I ca in martial arts」

She was able to walk around while carrying a large battle axe Her body must be trained, but Zelphy-san put her hand on her forehead It seemed there was a probleestion from me It's not a bad talk for you」

「What is it?」

Zelphy-san's gaze looked around at us then she folded both her hands and put theuild are in your debt froation With the addition of newthe instruction period by teeks? Of course, there won't be any additional charge The guild also won't oppose it」

It would takeus exclusive instruction The price was 20 gold coins for three ed for teeks for free then I would be grateful I'rateful but……

「Err, why is that?」

Noveaze to Arisan and Sophisan and nodded

「That's right, I guess that ill be better Lyle-saestion here」

Novem seemed to understand, but I didn't understand Zelphy-sanat Arisan and Sophisan

The Second explained to me

『It's because these two are ae or experience at all like you before beco adventurer She wants to teach these two the basics first』

I looked down and thought for a bit Thinking back of my first month, certainly I was unable to understand what adventurer was, I……ah!

「Eh, please wait a second! Then during those teeks!」

I stood up in a flash and looked at Zelphy-san Zelphy-san grinned and nodded

「You finally get it Well, let's work hard doing the odd jobs Don't worry, after all the teeks period will be service from my side」

Arisan seemed to not comprehend it and looked at me

「Lyle, what does she means by odd jobs?」

Construction work and redevelop in Dalien There were a lot of jobs in the city Because the guild was looking for manpower for that, adventurers who didn't even have weapon or equipment would take that kind of request

They orks that weren't like adventurer

「……Ditch cleaning」

「……Eh?」

When I muttered that, Arisan looked at Zelphy-san But, Zelphy-san averted her gaze It see Arisan did that kind of request

Sophisan stood up on the spot

「Ple, please wait! That's not the kind of work that I'at Sophisan with half-closed eyes

「Sorry but, I am the instructor of this party In other words, I a the policy to the leader Lyle Miss, if you don't want to do that then you can leave the party Although, if you're going to live as adventurer, I'll guarantee that the experience here won't be pointless」

Sophisan tried to complaint, but Novem spoke out

「Lyle-sa outside this tiuild during that ti」

Nove and construction work that would be assigned to me with a smile, but the ancestors wouldn't allow that

『Ly, Lyle! Don't let Nove like that! A, Arichan too! No way Arichan can be allowed to do that kind of htly different opinion

『If Novem-chan cannot be allowed to work outside, then the other two should be treated the same too』

The Third too had no fixation toward Arisan and Sophisan, but it was a different case with Noveht isn't it Well, let's have the request With these two's noble background, they should be able to do so』

The Fourth expressed a contradictory opinion

『I wonder That ht be the case with Arichan who came from the capital nobility, but for Sophichan as from vassal fa routine duties ere taken as retainer by feudal lord, a lot of that kind of people are suspect whether they can read and write or not』

The Fifth was also of the same opinion

『People like that are quite a lot There are also idiots as like woman has no need for literacy』

As for the Sixth──in the first place the ancestors starting from the Fifth and ahead weren't really fixated with Nove me to treasure her after she sold even her dowry for my sake

『Well, if the instructor Zelphy decide it so, then they should follow it I guess』

The Seventh looked frustrated

『daain……this is why I hate adventurer!』

The Seventh hated adventurer and mercenary Because of that his evaluation toward them would lower despite their actual character

「Nove request」

「Why is that, Lyle-sama!? I, I can also work hard!」

Novem showed a shocked reaction, but forto substitutethe physical labor

If Novem worked outdoor while I worked indoor……it would look like Novee froolo bastard” I don't want that!

Zelphy-san clapped her hands

「Come on, it's already decided so don't be noisy Lyle will do physical labor The girls will do odd jobs like writing request and the like Work properly and learn what adventurer is」

I had the feeling that Zelphy-san's gaze toward Arisan looked troubled As I thought, she orried toward Arisan as like a little sister to her

The position of the sun was high It was about noon when the sunlight beca at the two people doing physical labor The tere sweatily loading thefrom the ditch to a wheelbarrow and then carried it away

The First

『Arichan……』

The Second was also speaking in astonishood type huh How should I say it, these two……they have clumsiness of different type』

I called out to Arisan

「Arisan, it's already time for a break, let's rest Let's throw the ht? If it's hard then taking other request……」

The sweaty Arisan was relatively energetic

「I'm fine! The smell is harsh but if I have to say I'm more suited to this kind of work!」

She was dressed in overall that really suited her for some reason Furthermore she said she was suited to this, and certainly she was reliable with her work In contrast, Sophisan had a dull gaze

「Sophisan too, let's rest You don't need to feel that down about it」

「No I have to work hard here in exchange of my previous repeated failures……」

Repeated failures Until yesterday, the fifth day ofrequests intended for feuidance of Zelphy-san And then the two splendidly failed those requests Their evaluation was unbelievable E There were five ranks of evaluation, from A to E The lowest evaluation E would result in the adventurer given a fine

Because of that, I as scheduled to clean the ditch today too met up with the two They joined me but, the two of theth than the averageSophichan who scolded the client when doing writing request! Arichan who broke a lot of plate at the restaurant and punched a customer! It's a wonder she was able to work in service industry until now』

The two of them caused numerous trouble at the workplace where they received request

Well, the two of them also had justification for what they did They had but, the fine was too ed to be unsuitable for that line of work

Honestly, I thought that even I at the beginning still did better than theloves and reached out for my flask that was nearby The two of the their sweat We would rehydrate ourselves like this, but as expected the meal would wait for later with the location like this

The ditch cleaning request would be finished in several more hours When it's over ould receive evaluation from the client

Arisan drank water then wiped her mouth with her towel

「Zelphy doesn't come here」

Even the instructor Zelphy-san wouldn't keep watch of us around the clock Or rather, right now she was busy with another hed a bit

『Sheup after these two around this ti properly After all it's the job of the supervisor to take responsibility for their charge』

The two's failures racked up quite the nu these five days

At the first day Sophisan cauild and scolded the adventurer who asked for writing She was asked to write so like a love letter, then apparently at the end the client told her 「I want to send that to you」 which enraged her

She riting sords that ht red face, but the client was grinning seeing that Even if it wasn't Sophisan it would be understandable why anyone would want to get angry

But, a failure was a failure

Arisan orking in service industry before this so we figured she would be alright when she was sent to a restaurant that was lacking staff There a drunk ed man reached out to touch her butt

We were told that she punched the drunkard flying, broke plates, and even broke a table That was scary When she was sent to the kitchen, she broke several plates while washi+ng theuild

Even after that she repeatedly failed in siot sent toaround in order to earnestly apologized to the clients, she didn't come to ine that Arisan was this terrible despite having working in service industry before

The shop Ciel where Arisan orking at before was a hidden shop that offered sweets tothere to sneakily eat sweets weren't drunkard The shop owner made Arisan served the custos than that She orking with cute appearance, so perhaps the work there was putting importance on appearance

The First was troubled of how to react

『Should I feel relieved that she is staying within eyeshot, or should I la physical labor, I just don't get it! shi+t-! What should I do here!』

The Third i anyway so isn't it alright to stay quiet?』

『Goddamn ITTTTT!!』

It felt likewhen the First yelled The sound couldn't be heard but, there was no doubt that my mana was pointlessly consumed

Perhaps inside the First the ancestor of Arisan as a genuine noble lady overlapped with Arisan Well, the First had never even talked with that ancestor of Arisan, so it was unknohat kind of person she was

I had a thought that perhaps she was unexpectedly sihed

「……I will be able to achieve h」

I said to Sophisan

「No, you don't need to be that concerned I recovered that heirloom was also only because of the occasion」

Arisan joined the conversation
