When we arrived in Ibro, it was raining heavily.
"Look at Hua Wuming, passersby are looking at you with wide eyes."
The townspeople would naturally be surprised to see us running the carriage in the heavy rain without getting wet.
After arriving at the village chief's residence, we used natural magic to build a roof between the carriage and the hotel entrance.
"This guy is surprised that natural magic can do such a thing?"
"Old man, your feet"
Water started to accumulate on the road, so I used my shield to push through a board about 10 centimeters thick.
Of course, the surface is made of non-slip material.
"How about Miguel? Hua Wuming is very useful."
"This kind of thing is of no use except when it rains."
It seems that all three except Miguel like my natural magic.
Among them, Olivier gave me a sparkling look, but Miguel seemed to be jealous and troublesome, so I hope you can take it easy.
It looks like Olivier, the grandson of the mayor of the village of Kidoi, will attend a school in Ibro from spring.
"Although they said it was commuting, it takes half a day by horse-drawn carriage from Kido Village, so they were going to the dormitory."
After hearing this story, Miguel expressed that he also wanted to participate.
It seems that there is an academic ability test for transfer. If you do not reach a certain score, you will be admitted as a freshman instead of transferring to the second grade.
"It doesn't matter, Miguel will go to Ibro's school to take the exam tomorrow."
This is more convenient for Miguel who wants to spend time with Olivier.
From the village chief's perspective, he may have believed that Miguel's selfish character could be corrected by living away from his parents' home for whatever reason.
It was also a great joy to me that the annoying Miguel left the village.
These stories are about using the eavesdropping skill of natural magic to listen to the inside of the carriage.
Neither Mr. Zeol nor the four people in the carriage seemed to notice, and the sound quality was quite clear.
After that, you won't be complaining if you can see the video, but even in the current situation, this is a very useful magic.
We will continue to work on miniaturization and high sensitivity.
In the inn, his behavior was different from that of the village chief.
"I can't serve as an escort if you don't stay with me, but this inn seems to have a skilled security guard."
"Hey, Hua Wuming. Hang out for a while."
"where are you going?"
"This is a guild bar."
"I'll accompany you"
Mr. Zeol declines the village chief's invitation to dinner and heads to the guild's bar to gather information.
From dusk to early morning, the adventurers who have completed their work exchange information with each other.
After coming out of the hotel, we used a big umbrella to block the rain and set up a foothold to match Zeol's walking pace.
Passers-by looked at us again with surprised expressions, but they seemed to think that Zeol had used magic, so they didn't dare to look at me.
"It's such a useful magic. With this, going out on rainy days won't be a problem."
“For us cat owners, it’s troublesome to dry our hair after it’s wet.”
"I see, it turns out this is magic born out of necessity."
After following Mr. Zeol into the guild gate, the inside was filled with the damp animal smell.
"Even in the city, adventurers don't carry umbrellas."
Waterproof raincoats soaked in tree sap are often used in the village, but many people appear to be using leather cloaks.
The guild seemed to reek of wet leather and wet orcs.
Even in the rain, the adventurers who had completed their mission seemed to be gathering, and low murmurs echoed.
Among the adventurers, there were some young people who looked to be the same age as me. However, when I raised my voice excitedly, the veterans around me stared at me and quickly became quiet.
It seems that Ichiro's Adventurer's Guild is ruthless and not in the carefree fantasy mode.
Before heading to the bar, Mr Zeol turned to the notice board where the request had been posted.
I wanted to take a look when I came to sign up, but I was pestered by a Hera deer adventurer. He got the guild card and ran away.
Most people who become adventurers are very tall, so the place where they make the request is very high, making it difficult for me, a cat lover, to see.
I used the steps to raise my gaze to the same height as Mr. Zeol.
"Oh, are you working on scaffolding?"
"If you don't, you won't look good."
"knew"
Many of the requests on the bulletin board are for monsters.
There are many farms around Ibro City, and almost every day there are requests to kill monsters that prey on livestock.
It seems that it takes about five silver coins to conquer goblins and kobolds. Even for orcs, a large silver coin is the market price.
In terms of Huaxia coins, one silver coin is about 1,000 Huaxia coins, and a large silver coin is ten times that, so it’s cheaper than I thought.
"It seems that there is no benefit in defeating monsters."
"? <What is written here is just a commission. If you sell materials, meat, and magic stones, you will receive this money. Goblins are only useful for magic stones, but kobolds have fur and tusks. If they are orcs, you You can also sell meat. If you kill a black orc and sell it as a whole, you can get about five large gold coins."
“Gee, do you make that much money?”
"But if you can't come back with a giant orc, there's no money to be made."
"Ah, yes, you have to bring it over before you can buy it, right?"
Even a great adventurer cannot bring the orcs out of the forests and mountains alone.
If it takes a long time or the blood removal process is not good, the purchase price will decrease accordingly.
In addition to conquering monsters, he also received many requests to escort merchants and travelers.
The daily allowance here is five or six small silver coins, and other rewards such as success rewards, combat rewards, etc. are included.
"The farther the distance for guard work, the higher the income. It is not uncommon for adventurers who mainly work as guards to do work for different clients on their way back and forth. Here I come."
"Hey, that one seems more fun."
"Well, as long as nothing goes wrong, not only monsters but also thieves targeting merchants can attack. Fighting humans and risking your life is a very nerve-wracking job."
"I understand"
There's very little guilt when fighting monsters, and there's only a limit to how far your mind can go.
However, when dealing with humans, he must deal with those who are his equal, or in some cases, more cunning than he is.
And, no matter how bad a person is, killing someone is always accompanied by feelings of guilt.
"It certainly doesn't look like it's going to be easy."
After browsing the requests on the notice board, Mr. Zeol turned to the bar.
After passing through the door, the floor is filled with the smell of cigarette smoke, and it is an adult space mixed with the smell of alcohol.
In sharp contrast to the tense atmosphere before the reception, there was shouting and laughter.
On the floor, several beautiful sisters were distributing wine and food.
"Hua Wuming, even if you make a mistake, don't provoke women."
"?Yeah, what's the problem?"
"The women in the tavern belong to everyone, so anyone who sets foot on them"
"Everyone is an enemy, you mean?"
"That's it"
"Because adventurers are rough men, I thought sexual harassment was a given, but there seems to be some kind of sub-agreement."
"Is it an unwritten rule of being an otaku like in my previous life, or is it a simple male judo club member?"
Instead of sitting at a table seat on the floor, Mr. Zeol sat at a counter seat.
"Give me beer, Hua Wuming, what about you?"
"Give me some milk"
When I told him the order, he paused and then let out a muffled laugh.
"Hey, did you hear that? Which kitten is lost?"
"Isn't that Mr. Hu's illegitimate son?"
"Yeah, even in this world, promises seem to work."
“It’s worth raising your voice a little when ordering.”
"Hey, are you listening? This is a children's place. It's so cold!"
Once again, my promise was fulfilled. The dog adventurer who walked up threw ale from above my head, but I used natural magic to create a rain ditch and sent it back to the opponent's crotch.
"Grandpa, you licked me!"
"Hahahaha, you probably spilled your beer before. What were you talking about in your sleep?"
"this..."
"Besides, I didn't do anything. It was Hua Wuming who licked the front."
"What the hell boy!"
I feel that even if I face a dog adventurer who is much older than me, it is not scary at all, probably because I am here to meet Mr. Zeol.
"Imitate licking boohoo, hey, what's this?"
I deployed a shield in front of the dog trying to catch me.
The dog man who slapped the face with all his strength retreated in surprise, and then launched the next move.
"It hurts, what does it hurt, what, it hurts, what the hell is going on?"
I made something like pointed stakes out of the fragile air blobs and deployed a few around the dog adventurer.
"It sticks when you move it, but it breaks immediately." I was surprised at the pain, and my body reacted, and another stake impaled me.
"Because the stake is transparent, it looks like a canine adventurer acting alone."
"Hahahaha, Rodas, what are you dancing for?"
"What, are you already drunk?"
"Damn it, this kid is so mean!"
The dog adventurer pulled out a knife and I blinded him immediately.
Sure, it's a ball thumb and won't take away your sight, but it's a little more powerful.
When the adventurer named Rodas threw the knife and squatted down, there was a sudden silence in the bar.
Mr. Zeol rose quietly from his seat and kicked Rodas' dovetail without showing any sign of force.
Mr. Zeol grabbed the exhausted Rodas by the neck, dragged him to the door and threw him out of the bar.
Those who drank with Rodas prepared natural magic in order to exact revenge.
"Hahaha'
"Oh, you're talking about Hua Wuming.
"Master, please give me some milk for the child!"
As I gaped at the unexpected turn of events, Mr. Zeol returned and tapped me on the shoulder.
"Hua Wuming, for adventurers, skills are everything."
"Uh, it's just that guy Rhodes"
"People who get beaten up in a pub get kicked out. Do you know why?"
"Because this is what determines victory or defeat?"
"That's half true, the loser will wrap his tail around so he can get home."
"I understand"
There's an unwritten rule in the bar: if you get kicked out, you lose; if you lose, you go home in peace.
"You are strong."
"Umiyaha, yes."
Suddenly, there was a whisper from my left blind area. When I turned back in surprise, I saw a rich mountain range appearing in front of me.
Before I knew it, I had allowed Sister Lion, who worked at the bar, to get close to me.
"How many? The future looks promising."
"Uh, uh, I just turned eleven."
"Sister, do you want me to teach you something good?"
"Oh, if you put it too close, it's going to spill out, it's going to spill out."
"let me see"
"Sorry, this guy is still requesting, so please do it again next time."
"Oh, sorry!"
Sister Lion gently stroked my cheek and then continued working.
"The hair on my back is tingling."
"Be careful, Hua Wuming. If you suck it to the bone, it will bite you."
"ah..."
"Very disappointing but I wonder if I'll be able to climb adult stairs in a while."
Afterwards, Mr. Zeol told me various stories about adventurers while listening to the stories around me.
