"Hey, Risa..."

"Hm?"

"Why Risa's name is Risa?"

When Arisa was 10 years old, a girl about Arisa's age named Tina asked Arisa about it when they were playing in Tina's home yard which was right next to the house and the Waterbloom family bakery.

"My name is Arisa, not Risa."

"Oh that's right! Ehehe~!"

Because they met quite often when Tina's parents visited Arisa's store to buy some bread, Arisa and Tina eventually grew quite close to each other.

"I'm not sure my name has any special meaning..."

"Hmm... I see," Tina looked a little disappointed when she heard Arisa's disinterested answer, "Even though I think because Risa is so cool, Risa's name must also have a cool meaning too~..."

Arisa turned her gaze towards Tina because she heard her say, "Eh? Me? Cool?"

A big smile instantly grew on Tina's face at that moment as if a switch had been activated inside her head, "That's right! You're so cool you know, Risa?!" Tina spread her hands together as she shouted as if to show how excited she was.

"Although we are at the same age, Risa looks very calm and mature! You're also not afraid even in the presence of strangers!"

That's because my previous life, though.

"Ah~! But...!!!"

Tina pointed her index finger at Arisa at the end of her sentence with a serious face.

"...?"

"Risa is cheating! Why have you grown so tall even though we are the same age?!"

"Ah..." Arisa understood the meaning of Tina's words.

Even though they were born on the same day, Arisa was clearly seen to have grown much taller than Tina with a height difference between the two of them that had been more than 20 cm.

"Risa is so cool but cheating!" Tina slightly bulged her cheeks at Arisa as she said that. She couldn't resist it because the difference between the two of them was too far even though they grew up in the same environment.

Arisa couldn't help but sigh in front of her cute little friend.

*Pat*

"...?!"

With a wry smile, Arisa patted Tina's head gently.

"There, there, I believe Tina will also grow up soon."

"R-really?"

"Yup. You can hold these words of mine."

"U-uhwaaaaaa~!! Aaariiissaaaaa!!" Crying, Tina jumped towards Arisa.

"Ah!" Arisa fell back in shock, but she hugged Tina back.

"I... Hic... I... I-I will definitely grew up! So... Hic... So...................!"

Arisa couldn't remember the continuation of the words Tina painstakingly told her at the time.

"... Eh...?"

When Arisa opened her eyes, she was lying in her room.

"Tina... Huh..."

Because her eyes felt a little wet, Arisa rubbed the area around her eyes using her sleeves before she got up from her bed.

*Open*

Opening the curtains that closed the window of her room so that the morning sunlight could enter, Arisa's eyes unconsciously fell on a blonde_bob_haired girl who walked out of the house next to Arisa's house.

The girl was wearing a uniform. So maybe she has found a job or something that matches the 'Job' she got.

It has been two years since the day of Arisa's 'Job' awarding ceremony. And until now Arisa still hasn't found any job for herself.

Arisa just continues to spend her time doing practices to improve the 'Jobs' she has by sometimes helping out at the Bakery.

"That's right, I would hever able to see her anymore from that day on. Haa~aahh... Why would I even dreaming of these kinds of things when things are starting to return to normal?"

Averting her gaze, Arisa began to tidy up her room and change clothes before going down to the floor and out to go back to her daily practices.

Arisa's practice is very simple. Arisa only does a simple exercise that can simultaneously train all her 'Jobs' except Loser.

Arisa has 3 jobs if we not including Loser. 2 magical-type jobs: Apprentice Water magician and Apprentice Dark magician, then 1 physical-type job: Apprentice Fighter.

After understanding all the uses of the Job she had, Arisa thought that running around the Capital was a suitable exercise to train her Job as well as her stamina and physique.

Arisa will run every morning from the moment of sunrise for 2 hours without a definite number of circumferences which are sometimes 3 circumference of the capital to even more than 10 circumference of the capital.

Normally, it was an impossible thing considering how large the size of the main city of this kingdom was. But, slowly but surely, Arisa finally found a way to do it by utilizing the effects provided by the Jobs she had.

With the effect of the Apprentice water magician which is to give the ability to turn magic into water elements and increase the magic capacity of the job owner depending on the level of the Job, Arisa can keep herself hydrated even after running without rest for more than 1 hour. In addition, Arisa also uses water magic to regulate her body temperature so that it is not too hot or too cold due to excessive sports activities.

With the effect of the Apprentice dark magician which is to give the ability to turn magic into the dark element and increase the user's magic capacity depending on the level of the job, Arisa can use one of the dark element magic effects: 'Recovery', which is usually used by demons to treat the injuries they suffer in combat because the light mage among demons is very rare. Arisa use this dark magic effect to increase the speed of stamina recovery and the speed of natural regeneration of her body so that she can continue running without fear of suffering any injuries.

In normal case, although dark magic also has restorative properties, the effect in most cases is just little - to even no effect on humans at all. However, since Arisa inherited the blood of the Half-demon from her mother, the recovery effect of dark magic can have an effect on her quite well although it is still not as good as light magic.

And the last one is: Apprentice Fighter! It is a Job that provides an increase in the user's physical strength either without or currently using a weapon depending on the level of the Job. With this Job, even though it is still level 1, Arisa has gained physical strength that has surpassed the average physical strength of girls her age that eventually make her more easier to running around the capital.

After two years of regularly continuing to do this, all three of Arisa's Jobs have reached level 5 and Arisa can now run around the Capital for 40 laps in just 1 hour.

Arisa isn't sure if she's managed to overcome her super slow growth problem or not with this, but she believes she's grown stronger to be strong enough to fight evenly in sword fights with her father who has a level 23 Swordsman Job.

*Tap!*

Therefore, instead of worrying and regretting the things she can no longer change, even today Arisa will run again to achieve the future of her dreams.

"Hhaa~aahhh!!!"

*Tap!!* *Tap!!* *Tap!!*

From her yard on the outskirts of the commercial district, Arisa rushed straight towards the east gate of the city in just a few minutes.

Since it had become a familiar sight for the gatekeepers on duty at the east gate, they only greeted Arisa with a smile as Arisa passed them and started running around the Capital as usual.

"Oh, today Arisa is looks more excited than usual, huh."

"Yeah~..."

*SWOOSSH!!* *SWOOSSHH!!* *SWOOOSSHHH!!!*

The guards could only smile at the figure of Arisa who returned through the area they were guarding every less than a minute.

After several tens of minutes passed, some pedestrians aiming for the capital also began to arrive. Even though they saw something resembling the figure of someone darting out before them every few tens of seconds, they weren't bothered in the slightest because they already knew that they wouldn't get hit or anything like that.

Because there were pedestrians until the train had started arriving in front of the gate, Arisa expanded her running track further away from the gate while making sure not to hit anyone.

That's right, after 2 years. The occurrence of Arisa running around the Capital every morning has become something normal and not at all surprising to them.

The only thing they thought of when they saw Arisa's figure crossing them was: "Ah, she's getting faster again."

And soon, 2 hours had passed.

"Ha... Ha... Fiuh~!"

Slowing down her speed from afar, Arisa returned to the eastern gate of the Capital. Sweat had filled Arisa's whole body and made her white skin become more shiny.

Her clothes were wet, but they didn't make Arisa look indecent or anything like that. Arisa made the clothes from a special material that is very water-absorbent yet dries very quickly which she actually made just to solve this situation.

"Oh Arisa, are you done with your morning run?"

One of the gatekeepers who noticed Arisa's arrival greeted Arisa. After 2 years, Arisa had become quite close to the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the gate especially the east gate.

Because she was readjusting her breath, Arisa just nod her head at the soldier.

"I see. As always, you were very fast today too, ha."

"Yes... I have done 168 laps this morning."

"E-eh?!" The soldier immediately lost his composure upon hearing those absurd numbers, "I-isn't that even more than yesterday?!"

"Well..." Tilting her head slightly, Arisa made a pondering expression for a while before opening her eyes again as if she had just remembered something, "... Ah, that's right. If I think back, I just went up level 5 yesterday... Maybe it's because of that?"

"Y-you must be kidding me... Level 5 is impossible to do such a thing!!"

"... Hm, is that so?" Even though the soldier had reacted like that, Arisa still didn't seem too interested.

"If that's the case, maybe I will finally be able to..."

Mumbling it in a small voice, Arisa walked home without stopping as if she was immersed in her own thoughts.

"S-sir Ed... W-who exactly is that girl? She looks as if she doesn't even care about us in the slightest..." One of the soldiers who was there at the time asked the soldier who spoke to Arisa earlier.

"Ah, you're new here, right?"

"Y-yeah..."

Ed turned his gaze towards Arisa's back and narrowed his eyes for a moment before speaking again, "Hey, new kid."

"Y-yes?"

"You must have heard of Waterbloom bakery, right?"

The young soldier looked a little confused as to what Ed meant by that. But he still replied because he didn't know what to answer, "Yes... I've been to that Bakery a few times. That Bakery is famous for their soft and cheap breads, right?"

"That girl... Arisa, is the daughter of the old man who owns the Bakery."

"... O-okay?" *(Uh, wait, what does that mean...?)* The soldier didn't understand why their conversation could suddenly lead to it.

"Because his father and I had known each other when he was a knight, we went out drinking together quite often. There, he would sometimes tell about Arisa. He always seemed so happy when talking about his family that it started to make me who already married even jealous of him"

"..." Out of confusion, that young Soldier decided to just listen quietly to what Ed had to say.

"But... When Arisa's job awarding ceremony arrived, Arisa turned out to be the owner of 4 jobs. It was really a pity because she was such a smart and talented girl."

"Eh?! 4 Jobs?!"

"Yeah. It wouldn't be surprising even if she would lose her zest for life afterwards. However, instead of feeling discouraged, that girl didn't even show a hint of having any doubts as she continued to work hard until she was finally able to run around the capital for over 100 laps in just 2 hours! Kuh...! Even though I'm not her father, I feel so happy for her that her hard work has finally paid off!! She may become less interested in her surroundings because she is too full of just training herself, which is definitely very difficult and painful!"

"... Eh?" The young soldier was even more confused, he didn't understand what Ed had said at all just now. Because...

"What are you saying, Sir Ed? Didn't that girl just suddenly appear panting and drenched in sweat? I didn't see her running anywhere."

"... Eh?... Hah?... Eeehhhhh..."

... That young soldier couldn't even see as Arisa was running around the Capital.

In another place, Arisa, who was walking home, suddenly changed the direction of her destination.

A big smile grew on her lips.

She was in a very good mood.

"Fu fu fu..."

The longer time passed, the more Arisa accelerated her footsteps.

"Hehehehe..."

She may look strange to others at the time. But Arisa didn't care. She finally achieved the main goal of the exercises she had been doing since 2 years ago.

Arisa has set 3 main goals since she got her Job.

1. Arisa is determined to keep training until she becomes strong enough to at least she could keep up with her father in sword fighting just for in case something untoward happens in the future.(Although Arisa is a little misunderstood where she thinks that her father is weak because he continues to spend all his time baking bread despite the fact that her father is strong enough in this world.)

2.Arisa decided to continue doing morning run training until she could do at least 100 laps in just 2 hours.(And she's already managed to do it and even surpassing her goal and has managed to do 168 circumference of the Capital in 2 hours.)

3.And after making sure that she already has strong enough strength in the eyes of the public or when she has managed to reach level 10 in each of her 'Jobs', she will start looking for the ideal job for her. And in that case, Arisa chose to become a Receptionist at the Adventurer Guild.

Therefore, Arisa was currently heading towards the Adventurer guild building that was between the commercial district and the artisan district.

Actually, Arisa also has the option to just be an adventurer instead of a Receptionist. But because of the high risk she has to bear and because Arisa is also not too sure that she will be able to reach the peak of her career as an adventurer when she has 4 jobs which means her growth is very slow when compared to others, Arisa thinks that being a receptionist is more suitable for her from various aspects.

But because if then Arisa will interact more often with various types of adventurers which must be quite dangerous for a girl without any combat power, Arisa decided to do the training she did in the past 2 years.

By being part of an Adventurer guild that is the largest and most powerful organization with total combat power that can rival even a country, Arisa thought that this would put her in a important position but not important enough to be noticed by many dangerous organizations, but still able to access the latest information about the state of humanity quite easily.

Indeed, if it is information about conflicts between countries, joining the kingdom would be better. But if it's just to predict the movements and mindsets of other countries, even Arisa can do it by knowing how the climate and geography in the region of the country are built.

Because of this, monsters are the most threat in this world to Arisa because she can't predict anything about them since monsters are entirely unknown creatures to her.

Before long, Arisa finally arrived before the capital's Guild building area. From the entrance gate, Arisa saw several hundred adventurers who were walking in and out of the Guild building. They all wore various types of clothing from heavy armor to lightweight robes with a wide variety of weapons at their disposal.

The Capital branch's Adventurer guild building was extremely large when compared to most other buildings in the Capital. The Guild Building was built in a rectangular shape with three main buildings with a beautiful large courtyard in the middle.

The buildings have a variety of different functions, but the most often used is the middle building. The entire middle building is used only to serve anyone who wants to take a Quest or submit a Quest by dividing it in a different order on each floor.

The 1st floor is for the lowest Rank G to D. People who want to register as an adventurer usually register there.

The 2nd floor for Rank C to B.

The 3rd floor is exclusively for Rank A adventurers and Quests.

And the 4th floor is dedicated only to serving adventurers who are like heroes, the S Rank adventurers. It's seems, Rank S Adventurers will directly served by the Guildmaster himself on that floor.

The Adventurer guild always needed workers for the position of Receptionist every year due to the lack of people who could take the job of Receptionist at a time when there were rarely enough educated people to at least be able to read and write in the kingdom.

In addition, although there are even people who are able to read and write, most of them would prefer to avoid jobs that have to interact frequently with adventurers who are known to be vulgar.

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

The sound of Arisa's footsteps echoed quietly every time she stepped inside the Guild as the noise from adventurers busy searching for a Quest suitable for them today.

There were some of them who turned their eyes towards Arisa because it was a very rare sight for a girl like Arisa to come to a place like this without any armor or not look like a witch nor magician like Arisa.

Without caring about them, Arisa continued to walk towards the counter table where several old men between the ages of 35-48 who looked like veterans were serving as Receptionists there.

So there is no cute beautiful receptionist woman like in novel, huh? Or maybe the girls receptionist were assigned to higher floors? Hm...

While thinking about that, Arisa kept walking. However, suddenly, a huge shadow blocked her way.

"Oops, ooohh! Whut's this? I didn't expect that I'll see a hot one like you in this kind of place! What's wrong? Are you looking for your night opponent? Even though it's still noon now I'm ready, ya know?!" The man laughed in a disgusting way when he deliberately blocked Arisa's path with his massive body.

Ah, I see. This stupid guy must be interested in this body I inherited from Lalaine, hum? He also even brought some of his friends who looked like scumbags like him, anyway.

Arisa immediately knew that man's main intentions easily just by looking in which direction the man's eyes were headed.

Heh... You guys really like breasts, huh?

"Hey... How about we're have fun for a whi - Egggrrhh!???!!!" While the man's two colleagues began to walk towards both sides of Arisa, the man began to extend his hands towards Arisa while licking his own lips.

However, before his hand touched Arisa, an broad pain suddenly struck the man's crotch.

"You don't seem to need that anymore so I crash it."

"A-agh... M-mine..."

Arisa had kicked right at the man's crotch until something there lost its shape.

"Eeekk?!"

"Eiuuhh..."

The faces of the two male colleagues were instantly filled with terror when they saw the figure of their comrade who fell in a miserable state, soaking himself.

Several other male adventurers who witnessed this also subconsciously held their crotches as if to protect it while imagining how much pain the man felt.

"... If you don't want to have a fate like this one rubbish, you better not hinder me okay?"

""...""

None of the men who were there dared to say anything at that moment. Even some of the female adventurers who were there were frightened by Arisa's cruelty.

"... I will take your silence as a yes answer then."
