After watching, Arrow got some bread for the worm, and after a few circles around the bread, the bloody worm finally climbed up and slowly ate the bread.

While it was eating bread, Arrow went to the underground warehouse to find a barrel and threw the bloody worm into it. After making sure it couldn't bite through the barrel, he closed the lid and asked Brad to place the barrel in the back warehouse.

It was already late at night after doing this, and Arrow yawned, and asked everyone to go back to rest and recuperate.

After everyone had gone back to their rooms to rest, Arrow finally checked the doors and windows of the guild, rubbed his shoulders and went upstairs to his room.

It was just before the door closed that the cat slowly floated in again.

Closing the door, Arrow took off his hat and relaxed his hair, rubbed his slightly stiff neck and walked to the table, and began to sort out the diary of his adventures for the past two days.

Napa staggered in front of Arrow, staring at Arrow with big eyes, but not speaking.

"How were the children in class these two days? They didn't treat you badly. ”

As he wrote, Arrow asked.

The cat raised its paw and slapped it on the paper: "Those children are annoying, but don't forget, it's easy for an existence of my level to deal with those bear children." In comparison, you are the one who is most worried. ”

Arrow smiled, picked up the pen and tried to continue writing, but Napa was still holding on to the paper, obviously not going to give up—

"I hope you can keep in mind that you are an ordinary person without any martial arts or magical powers, and that you are not a young man named Arrow, but a little girl named Ariel. I wanted you to form an adventurer's guild because I thought I could go on an adventure with you. With me, a lot of things won't be so troublesome. But why don't you keep refusing to let me go on missions with you? You're lucky to be back this time, but what about next time? I don't want my hopeful guildmaster to die at the hands of some goblin. ”

Arrow looked up, his gaze making contact with Napa.

From the cat's eyes, Arrow didn't see any cunning or deceit, only deep worry.

Seriously, after seeing such a look, Arrow felt a little warm in his heart. Since the guild was formed, members have always been able to see confidence in the eyes of their own presidents, so this is the first time that Arrow has seen the other person's worries about him......

Although, this other person is a cat.

"So ......"

Arrow propped his head with one hand and smiled-

"Will you tell me your story? Why do you want me to form an adventurer's guild? How many secrets are you still hiding? ”

Napa thought for a moment, but didn't answer.

Arrow smiled and said, "We all have secrets, and it's not because I don't trust you because I don't trust you, but because I really want to grow our guild stronger. ”

Napa looked up, "What do you mean?" ”

Arrow: "From the first day I met you, I knew you were strong. Your magic may be very deep, and you have a lot of knowledge that I don't know. ”

"If it's purely my own words, then I will immediately come to you if I have any problems. But if all the tasks of our guild are handled by the two of us, what will happen to our guild members? How are they going to grow? ”

In an instant, Napa's ears lifted.

"Merfolk Song isn't just a guild for the two of us, it's also a guild for Brad, Parfay, and Coco. Even if I fail in three years and the guild disappears, then I hope the three of them can master enough skills to support themselves. Instead of thinking about me or you for help after encountering something. Is this answer okay? ”

"Wait, if you fail in three years, this guild will disappear?"

Napa seemed to notice a spot that Arrow hadn't expected. The cat flew up and came to Arrow's line of sight: "What's the matter with the guild disappearing?" What will happen if you don't manage to scrape together 1,000 gold after three years? ”

Arrow hesitated slightly, but soon, that signature smile regained on his face. He nodded lightly and smiled, "Don't worry about those things that are still far away. In fact, this expedition made me think that I might have taken the wrong path. After all, there are too many forks in it. ”

As he spoke, Arrow pulled out a wad of paper from his backpack and spread it out on the table.

Some of the paper had maps drawn on them, while others had descriptions of the terrain and then numbered them one by one.

"When I was in the capital, I didn't mention that there was such a monster with such a bloody bug when I got the news of the gold mine. And the source of the message is not a very powerful adventurer, I don't think those people have gone through the same adventures as we have, and then walked away with all their might, and even didn't want to mention the bloody bugs. ”

"So, it's more likely that we're on the wrong path, and that road doesn't lead to gold. Look for other roads next time you visit. ”

Napa seemed to want to say something, but Iero wasn't going to talk to the cat any further.

He picked up Napa and opened the crack in the door to place it on the floor outside. Facing Napana's worried eyes, Airo shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the best thing for economic people to do is to calculate their own gains and losses." I know when it's my limit, and I take care of my own safety, so you can rest assured. ”

Watching the door close in front of him, Napa's tail wagged slightly, and her ears seemed a little drooping.

After a moment of hesitation, the beast finally floated down the stairs and lay down on its cushion. Before falling asleep, it looked up again and glanced at the president's room on the second floor.

You can still see through the crack in the door, the lights are still on......

—September 5, 1301. Adventure (two days): -8 Bronze. Balance: 81 gold, 2 silver, 7 bronze -

The work of the guild begins with commissioning.

But the end of a commission is far from the end of the adventure and the end of the guild.

As with many jobs that seem the most boring, the most exciting parts often occupy only the smallest part of a job. And then the number of parts that need to be improved is staggering.

Eero knew he wasn't an adventurer.

Not only is he not an adventurer, but he is not even a slightly stronger human.

The physiology of women makes it impossible for Arrow to stand at the front of the line with a huge hammer like Brad, and the lack of magical affinity does not allow the leader to display the same magical powers as Coco.

However, he also did not position himself as an adventurer.

He is the president.

Since he is the president, he must do a good job of various follow-up auxiliary work.

Eero knew that after the commission was over, the work of Brad, Parfay, and Coco was done.

But there is a lot of copywriting work to be done in front of me.

First of all, the most important thing is to investigate the topography of the mine.

Ever since entering the mine, Iero has been keeping track of his steps, using the time he has marked the time of the cream to record the length of his steps and the height difference in the mine. If you come across a place that requires careful progress, it will also be marked emphatically.

It was only after a short half day of exploration in the mines, and when he came back to his senses, Eero found that he had recorded almost thirty pieces of paper, most of which were descriptions of maps.

So the next thing to do is to rearrange a map that looks simple and easy to understand based on these explorations.

The mine had been abandoned for hundreds of years, and Arrow couldn't guarantee that there would still be a map on the market.

It was a time-consuming job, and he had been doing it all night the night he had returned.

At this time, he also began to congratulate himself that his grades in school were not bad, and the students of the economics department had to learn to organize and guide the data, which also made him realize that he had not slept all night when the first rays of sunlight shone through the window in the morning.

"Whew...... That's the map, so it's done. ”

With two dark circles under his eyes and huge bags under his eyes, Arrow looked at the simple hand-drawn map on his desk. On a piece of paper the size of half a table, he had detailed the path he had traveled through the cave, marking the difference in elevation. Some roads have not been visited, so only a dotted line is left, and when encountering a dead end, it is realistic.

"I still don't read enough books...... I remember there seemed to be some books on cartography in the academy...... Alas, I didn't think it was necessary at the time, so I didn't read it. Otherwise, it could have been made cleaner and tidier now. ”

With his pen in hand, Arrow looked at the light coming through the window and turned his gaze back to the map again.

Now that you have the terrain, it's time to mark the places you need to pay attention to.

Do you want to write down the ancient characters that have been inscribed?

It probably doesn't make much sense to write it down...... But if you don't write it, it will lead to a lack of professionalism in your own map. Besides, if you really write it, you won't be able to answer what these words mean.

Arrow put the pen to his lips and hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to mark it all.

Even if you can't answer it for the time being, you can more or less make your guild's products appear conscientious.

"Okay, then...... It will start to heat up here, so you need to bring plenty of water in advance, or prepare water magic to cope with the heat. The continuous high temperature and oppressive environment may make people mentally unbalanced, so please try to adjust your mentality...... Okay, the note is done. ”

After that, at the very end of the map, write the words "Bloody Bug Gathering Place".

In this way, the first version of the map is considered complete.

But that's not the end of it.

Arrow placed the map aside, picked up a piece of paper again, and pasted the hand-drawn Bloody Bug on the large piece of paper. After thinking about everything about the bloody bug in silence in my heart, I began to write.

————

Monster: Bloody Bug

Size: Slightly larger than the palm of an adult's hand

Feeding habits: omnivorous possibility. No predation of the same species has been witnessed, and it is possible that they rely on microorganisms such as moss or lichens in the cave for food (presumably)

Environment: Humid, dark, not very airy area

Appearance: The surface of the body is soft and smooth, the texture is red or dark red, and the surface does not have obvious mouthparts, but there is a small disc-shaped opening on the front side of the body, which is presumed to be a feeding port.

Habits: Likes to cling to rock walls in groups, and is not very mobile when it is dark, but will begin to act violently and violently in the light. However, when they are separated from the group, they become very docile and their desire to attack is minimized. It is possible to be held in the arms of a person without being aggressive (this is speculation). They have an instinct to chase after scented objects, but not all bloodworms follow their instincts so rigidly.

Strength: Not afraid of flames, can put on torches head-on when faced with burning torches that are discarded on the ground. However, it is impossible to confirm whether the temperature of the flame is too low, or whether it is inherently not afraid of flames. If the flame temperature is too low, then using high-heat fire magic should be able to knock it back. However, if you are born with Fire Immunity, it is not recommended to use any Fire Attack.

Weaknesses: Can be physically killed with a variety of weapons, and appears extremely vulnerable. It's not so much a weakness as a weakness that can be trampled to death with just one kick. But it relied on its huge numbers to make up for its weak strength.

How to respond: At the moment of death, the Bloodworm will shoot out its own bodily fluids in all directions, a strong foul smell mixed with toilets that have not been washed in ten years. Killed by any means, bodily fluids explode and appear, which seems to be a way of behaving.

However, if the body fluids of the bloody insect are covered all over the body, even every hair, the monster seems to regard it as its own kind and will no longer attack. This is the time to leave the area where the Bloodworm is located. Foul-smelling liquids can be removed using "purification" magic.

Therefore, discreetly killing some in an area slightly farther away from the gore bugs and applying it to yourself is an easy way to pass. However, since observing the area where the Bloodworm is located may lead to the presence of monsters hunting the Bloodworm (this is speculation), this method is best used when you are ready to leave.

There is currently no way to find a way to pass through the Bloodworm area without using the above methods.

Monster Strength Evaluation: Single, non-threatening. group, there is a certain threat.

After writing this, Arrow was still thinking about what he could continue to add. But there was a knock at the door.

"Brother President, are you up? It's time for breakfast. ”

Arrow was stunned for a moment, then he picked up his hat in a panic, put it on briefly, and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Coco outside was startled, and the little girl took Arrow's hand nervously: "Brother President!" What happened to you? Why is your complexion so bad?! ”

Arrow yawned and said a little lazily, "It's okay, I slept too late last night." Well, I'll just get some sleep later. ”

"Really? But ......"

"Alright, alright, don't do it, let's go have breakfast now. Yawn~~~"

Going downstairs with Coco, Arrow finally felt the pain of mental malaise.

Once I leave my job, my whole mind becomes muddy and unclear.

But it can't be helped, if you don't write it down quickly while your memory is still clear, once you forget something that went wrong, it won't be easy to do.

When he went downstairs, Brad was already holding a large pot of bread on the table. Seeing Arrow go downstairs, the warrior immediately pulled out a chair and served Arrow to sit down, while Parfay on the side poured a glass for Arrow with a milk jug.

After taking a bite of bread and a sip of milk, Arrow shook his slightly groggy head and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Coco glanced at the time: "It's half past seven in the morning." In another hour and a half, the children will be in class. ”

Damn, forgot about that......

Arrow turned his head and glanced at Napa with a little expectation. But the cat, as if he had not seen anything, continued to fur there, combed his hair, and hung it high as if it had nothing to do with himself.

All right! When you can't take the money, you are fast, and when you pay, you have a stinky face.

Took another sip of milk: "Is there any commission in the morning?" ”

Guild members sat down on opposite sides of the table and ate breakfast together. Brad tore off a small piece of bread and put it in Parfay's hand, and the flower demon licked the bread and said, "Morning, no." Round, round, come—"

This is Arrow encouraging her to talk more so that she can learn human language as soon as possible. I have to say that this flower fairy is indeed a little smarter than Brad and Coco, and although it can't organize sentences well, it has already begun to try boldly.

Brad: "Mayor Round Cheese is here to deliver today's pie." ”

It's a pity that Brad seems to care too much about his partner's bad words, so he hurriedly finished the sentence.

Parfay, who had nothing to say, turned her head and glared at Brad with a puffed look. It looked like he was going to throw the bread in his hand in the next moment.

Arrow nodded, squinting in thought.

Don't look at the tuition fees charged so much at that time, but the pie fee for a total of 4 copper for forty students a day is not a small amount.

Hey, speaking of which, it's not time to reap the fruits yourself. If you don't work hard in the early days of your business, where will you have any easy moments in the future?

"If you don't have any commissions today, Brad, you'll be able to buy some more paper later."

"Yes, President. Do you want to write an advertisement again? ”

Airo took another sip of the milk in the cup: "What kind of advertisement, I will go to Napa to get 2 copper coins, and go buy a hundred pieces of paper first." Today I'm going to ask you and Coco to copy something, which can be regarded as practicing calligraphy. ”

After Coco finished eating, he sat on the seat holding her twig, tilted his head to look at the unrefreshed Arrow next to him, and asked, "Brother President, what are you writing?" ”

"I've compiled some maps and information about the mines. When you come back from buying paper, you go and transcribe 10 copies each. It can be used to sell later. ”

After three or two bites, after eating bread and drinking milk, Arrow stretched, pointed to his room and yawned and said, "I'll go back and sleep for another hour, and then come back to me when the students come." You also bought the paper early, so you can't be late for class, you know? ”

With that, Arrow continued to stumble upstairs and close the door in front of everyone's attention.

Brad below began to pack up his food, hesitated as he picked up Arrow's milk cup, and said, "You say, is it because we're so useless?" That's why the president is so tired? ”

Coco pursed her lips, thought for a while, and then turned to Napa over there: "Vice President, when can I start learning alchemy?" ”

Napa was already lying comfortably on the cushion, and it took a long time to raise her head, glance at Coco lazily from the corner of her eye, and yawn—

"Wait until you can read all the words you're going to copy today."
