Mr. Zeor will not speak to me in a judgmental way, unless he is practicing matchmaking or escorting a carriage.
"There's a way to do this, or there's a way to do it," he often shows me options.
It's not surprising for someone as experienced as Mr. Zeor to follow my words, but I guess it's because he's a freedom-loving person and life is like a picture of Haruko Udo.
At last night's farewell party, Mr. Zeor reminded me of this repeatedly.
"Listen, Hua Wuming. Be sure to look for a job through the guild. At least until you're over twenty years old and have some experience, be sure to look for a job through the guild. ”
"Yes, but why?"
"When you sell your name as an adventurer, all sorts of people will approach you. Those people are the ones who intend to use you to make money and make things easier. If you work through a guild, the reward is the guild, and even if a customer refuses to pay, the guild will step in and talk to them.
"Will I be trampled on or what?"
"That's right. If you're going to find a job on your own, make it a job you can give up, even if it's a free one. ”
"Got it"
That being said, if you don't mind working for free, don't take the request lightly. From now on, as a true adventurer, you have to live on your own wit. "
Later, Mr. Zeor told me an interesting story about his failures in his youth, but then I thought that he must have wanted to teach me a lesson by exposing his dark history.
After daybreak, after breakfast at the Orc Footprint Inn, Mr. Zeor returned to the village of Azka in a horse-drawn carriage.
"When you're calm, come and see me."
The parting words were simple, and I watched the carriage go away until I could no longer see it, but Mr. Zeor did not look back.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Zeor, follow the route taught by the Orc Footprints Pavilion to the chariot base.
Asking a few people along the way, we came to the base in the eastern part of the city, which is an area lined with warehouses and artisan workshops.
"Here, right"
The grounds were surrounded by fences taller than mine, overgrown with weeds, and a building that looked like a warehouse or stable.
"Sorry to bother you"
It looked like the heavy gate was a hassle to open, so I slipped through the fence and into the house.
"How to say it, it's a mess"
The wooden planks in the walls were full of holes, and the pillars appeared to be a little slanted.
Chariots also have their own carriages, so this place doubles as a garage to store wagons, and there may be solid walls inside the living quarters, no, I hope there are.
"Hello, I'm Hua Wuming."
I knocked on the garage door where the carriage was parked, but I couldn't sense the presence of anyone in the building.
"Hey! Mr. Leos, Mr. Serusho, Mr. Gad! Anyone! "
I tried to raise my voice a little but there was no response at all.
Looking around the building, there is a door at the back that looks like a side door.
When I walked to the back door with a small eaves, I saw a poster on the door.
"What the hell, I'm going to Kaban, with a request to conquer the orcs. I'll be back in Ibro uh uh uh, three days later! ”
Apparently, the chariot had just returned from defeating the bronze wolf, and received another request to immediately go on an expedition.
Kabane is a village a day's drive east of Iburo where dairy farming is thriving.
The village is the most named, and its main industries are dairy farming and animal husbandry.
It seems that not only goblins and kobolds, but also orcs and ogres are often seen, targeting raised cows, pigs, and chickens.
"What to do? If I used the buggy, I could go back to Re Village, but I was sent for so long that I couldn't go back the next day"
"But I don't have anywhere else to stay, so I'll have to stay in an inn somewhere."
The Orc Footsteps Pavilion is a familiar face, but the price is a bit high, as the village chief often lives there.
"Let's go to the guild.
Before I left the village, I gave my mother all the money I earned from roasting wood rats and selling fish.
I took the money I had saved up before, but after three days in the hotel, I was still a little uneasy.
Mr. Zeor repeatedly told me to consult the guild first if I had any questions.
Ask for a cheap and safe place to stay until the three tanks come back, withdraw the money, and if there is an affordable job, then it will be interesting.
I walked the streets of Ibro with a backpack full of a change of clothes and groceries.
Come to think of it, Horacio and Zeor have been with me so far, so this is the first time I've walked alone.
When I realized that I could move freely without being restricted by my schedule, I wanted to go to a place full of markets and shops, but I held back and went to the guild.
When the scenery became familiar and I could see the guild building, I put on a full suit of armor with celestial magic.
It is likely that the people who participated in the tavern last night, or the horse orc adventurers who had beaten him before, would not have attacked.
My body is small, so even if I get a hit, it will cause a lot of damage.
I stepped into the guild as I prepared for an attack at any moment, but the morning hustle and bustle had passed, and it wasn't as crowded as I had imagined.
Looking at the guild counter again, it seems to be divided into a guild payment area such as reporting the completion of tasks and purchasing materials, an area where you submit tasks and pay guild money, and a consultation area. No money exchange.
I temporarily asked him to introduce me to an inn for three days, then withdrew the money and decided to look for a job.
The staff at the information counter was a simple dog beast woman, who looked to be in her early twenties.
"Uh, I'm sorry."
"Welcome, Mr. Hua Wuming. Do you have anything to do today? ”
It was a little embarrassing to be stared at me with curious and sparkling eyes, but I don't think they should look down on me if they knew who I was.
As I set up the scaffolding on the steps and made eye contact, the female staff member's eyes widened and a big smile appeared on her face.
"Uh, I'd like to ask you to introduce me to a reasonably priced hostel for about three days"
"What kind of room do you like?"
"As you can see, my body is small, so a small room will do.
"I asked them to introduce me to three reasonably priced hotels and let them withdraw my money."
When I handed him my guild card, he handed me a document along with the money.
"Mr. Hua Wuming, your request has been submitted."
"What is the request?"
"This is a request to nominate a specific individual."
"Uh, did you nominate me?"
"Yes. It was sent by Mr. Rembolt from the school. ”
"Huh! What happened to the school teacher? ”
"The request says research aid, but what do you think I'll see you in person and tell you the details?"
"Will there be a reward or something?"
"If we formally accept the request, we will arrange for the payment of an amount that meets the criteria that the guild considers reasonable."
"Was that after meeting and listening to the commission?"
"It's going to happen."
I don't know why the house teacher I didn't know nominated me, but if I could think about it, it would be about the crusade against the Bronze Wolf.
The school's classes haven't started yet, so they might want to hear about the monsters they're working on during recess.
The school in Ibru was founded by the feudal lord Viscount Lagato, and the teachers were respected by the world.
"I was worried about being looked down upon, but I didn't think my life would be in danger."
"Now I want to ask you. Shouldn't we visit Professor Lembert? ”
"Yes, if you receive a request involving a transfer, be sure to report it to the guild."
"Understood. So"
"Ah, Mr. Hua Wuming, congratulations on your promotion to E-rank."
"Ugh! I just signed up and haven't received any requests yet"
"This is a recognition of your exploits in the crusade against the Bronze Wolf, and the entire staff of the Ibru Guild is looking forward to your future success."
Other staff at the counter and onlookers applauded.
I was so red because I wasn't used to it, but at this time, my cat man's faceless body was saved.
"D. Thank you"
I bowed my head to the people who gave me applause and left the guild.
