Everyday was the same... As I thought even if it's repetitive "Peace is the best!". Practicing magic and honing my skills in swordsmanship, was gradually progressing... Emily said once I hit 16 I have to get out of the house and venture outside their protection and learn new things, so I was made to practice rigorously with help from both Toni and Emily.
"Soooo... Ryomi? What are you gonna do once you hit 16?"
"Mom said that I should go and explore the world and learn new things... How about you?"
"Me? I'm actually going to try and enter the Academy of [Magic Arts and Sorcery] though getting in would be a bit hard since I'm poor and all..."
"Hmm? How much have you saved up?"
"About 20 silver, 34 bronze and 23 copper coins"
"Well, that's precise..."
"You asked and I answered"
She smiled as she answered with a boasting tone. To think this girl didn't even know how to count half a year ago, now she's boasting that she can actually give the precise number of her accumulated money.
"How much is the entrance fee?"
"1 gold coin..."
"Oooh! You're getting close!"
"Not even... I need 100 silver for that, and to get a silver I had to have 50 bronze coins, and to get one bronze I need to have 25 copper... Uwaaaaah!"
"What job are you taking anyway?"
"Cleaning duties and sometimes Delivery of Letters within the village..."
"How much do you get from each?"
"In cleaning I get 5-10 copper coins and in delivery 1-2 bronze coins..."
"The delivery job seems to be a good deal"
"Yes, if only it could be a stable place of income, I mean there are not many who receiver of letters in this place, if it was in the capital then I would be rich by the time I hit 16..."
"So basically the cleaning duty is much more frequent than the delivery job... Is there any other jobs out there?"
"There are like "Repairing" and "Scouting" jobs... Scouting jobs is mostly for the elder people, they enter the forest to gather information of new plants or scout for monster villages, goblins have been making their villages inside the forest after all..."
"I see... and reparation is?"
"As it implies, if a job is posted about this they will need able hands to do labor and repair either a broken fence, house, or mostly the pub... Since drunkards fight there mostly every night, and they break the pub's walls and it's furnitures..."
"I see! I'll take the scouting mission, let's take it the both of us!"
"Eh!? Only adults are allowed to go to the forest remember!"
"We are only 1 year away from adulthood also, I've already been trained and you have been practicing magic..."
"B-but! I don't know if I can do it... I don't have much confidence in my ability... That's why I have to learn much more in the academy... Once I get in I'll be able to learn much more!"
"You're already a 6th class fire caster and 8th class water caster... You are plenty strong!"
"Fueee!"
"Now! Let's go!"
"R-ryomi! W-wait!"
I walked ahead but not knowing where the place was I stopped and looked back...
"... Where do you take those jobs again?"
--
We arrived at a large building next to the town hall... It says in the sign "Explorer Guild" this is this world's "Adventurers Guild", it seems Shim is registered as a temporary member respectively named as [Rank F] to be properly admitted to the Explorers Guild you must complete one subjugation quest and bring back the proof of subjugation...
Seeing as Shim was only taking jobs lower than Rank F she could not rank up and was stuck in that rank for a while now...
"You registered and you didn't tell me?"
"Mr. Toni and Ms. Emily said to not tell you..."
"Eh!?"
"They said "She would probably tell you to go scout and kill monsters, if she knew about the guild, so never ever ever tell her!" but my tongue slipped so... Teehee~"
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
"Don't "Teehee~" me... So? How do we register?"
"Just talk to the receptionist over there..."
"Okay... I'm going in..."
"Knock her dead!"
"Haah? Aren't you coming?"
"Nope, I'm already registered..."
"..."
I put on a blank expression on my face as I looked at shim as she smiled radiantly... She was a girl with a meek personality but now, that seems to be just an illusion, seeing as she is so lively when talking to me, I don't even see any speck of her meekly self now. I looked back towards the reception once again, and started walking, the moment I arrived I inquired asking...
"I wish to become an Explorer!"
"Eh? Ah! Are you Shim's friend?"
"Y-yes?"
"So you're here to get a temporary guild identification as well..."
"No, uhh... I came here to become an official member..."
"That would require a proof of adulthood, I can only give you a temporary identification and you can only accept jobs of Rank G and Below, mainly household jobs like cleaning, repairing, feeding pets and other stuff..."
"Eeeeh? But we are only one year short to adulthood... Don't that matter?"
"Sorry, rules are rules, now if you please give me your hand..."
"What for?"
"Blood"
*Suuuu...*
"Ouch!"
"We needed to take a sample of your blood and here... Hold this card and pour in magic power..."
"O-okay..."
I concentrated my mana towards my fingertips and crept it up towards the card, the card glows lightly and the blood on top of it suddenly vanished, and then revealed my Name, Age, Level and Gender.
It seems I'm saved seeing as my Race wasn't seen in the card, even my appearance was incorporated in my card.
"Congratulations! With this you are now a Temporary explorer... You may obtain requests appropriate to your rank by that bulletin board by the corner."
"Thank you very much, come on let's go Ryomi!"
"Uh! Yeah..."
Shim who, a while ago had quite a distance from me, appeared right next to me and pulled me towards the bulletin board... I still haven't asked what the "Proof of Adulthood" is... Is it an accessory, a weapon or something else...
As I was thinking seriously, Shim suddenly had a paper of a job right on her hands... With a smile on her face, she said "Here! [Help! House Cleaning Wanted] a perfect job for us right!" I checked the contents and saw the place we had to clean...
"Shim... I don't think..."Don't worry about the small details! Let's go!" *Sigh*"
The place was located at the red light district...
