"shit! Why am I the one who picks medicinal herbs and he's the one who fights with monsters" Takeshi laid on the ground after picking the medicinal herbs (procosia and Lily flowers),he stood wondering deeper into the forest searching for more herbs only to be greeted by a snarl of a wild animal,he could take it on but he figured it would just waste his time so he decided to head back into the town.

He flunged open the doors to the adventuring guild/heaven's wing branch quarters treading hastily inside he approached the receptionist desk and put his batch of greenery on the desk,the receptionist gazed at Takeshi and smiled

"The usual?" She asked "yep"

The young lady receptionist continued "you know the conversion scale right?" "Yes I do, one kilo of herbs is equal to 4 points" "woah! How can you carry 3 kilos of herbs by yourself?" Takeshi stared at the young lady indicating him being in deep thinking processing and answered with a smile "magic".

He collected his earned points as he was about to leave the receptionist stopped him to deliver some bad news "A notice came from the branch master to notify you that you are prohibited from picking herbs for the next three months" Takeshi shocked asked "but why though"

"To preserve the ecosystem,if you pick all the herbs what do you think will happen?"

"But their is a whole forest! Why not pick herbs deeper?"

It's too dangerous for low level climbers like us, anyways I wish you a happy evening".

As soon as the receptionist finished talking someone suddenly barged in,it was yurian dragging a corpse of gray wolf,as soon as he saw Takeshi he started waving at him Takeshi seeing this smiled and told him "see you back at the inn"

"Sure" answered yurian.

That evening Takeshi was resting at his bed while yurian sitting besides him,yurian stood walked over to a little desk at the corner of the room and lit up a candle as the night swallowed the sky and placed the little candle by the window "won't it get blown away by the wind like that?" asked Takeshi

"Don't worry" said yurian assuring him.

"Anyways I'm curious,why am I the one who's picking herbs everywhere in that damn forest while you're the one who's hunting wild beasts?" asked Takeshi,after a longful gazed yurian without a hint of seriousness started laughing,he was laughing so hard at some point he started gasping due to lack of air "are you jealous?" asked Yurian trying his best not to laugh loudly then continued"after living with two months I never thought the day would come which I'd see you jealous,but out of generosity I'll answer your question, it's because you don't have a weapon you always spend your points on the rent and you never accept my points"

"I told you it's because I don't wanna be dependent to people"

"that sounds like total bullshit to me"

Well how about you blow the candle and sleep, it's already night time"

Yurian approached the window and blew the little flame that was lighting on the candle "the night surely comes fast" he mumbled to himself while looking at the stars,Takeshi who was not yet asleep looked at his friend for a minute or so and decided to sleep for real this time and it took a minute or so for him to go soaring high into the Dreamworld yurian sensing his friend asleep decided to do the same as he closed the window and climbed up to the room hiselfand slept too

...........................................

It was morning,the routine was as usual waking up,brushing teeth,breakfast then heading to the guild but today was a little bit different,when the duo was heading to the adventurers guild they couldn't help but notice a fair amount of people gathering at the town center but the duo as they are decided to fully ignore them and head to the guild much to their surprise the guild was not as packed as every other days,the receptionist who was usual sitting at her desk as always was shocked seeing the two regulars there,out of genuine concern she asked the duo "you guys are climbers right?"

"What's that?" asked the duo bamboozled

"Ugh! How should I explain this"thought the receptionist,after cranking her head for ideas her face lit up and continued "climbers are the people who climb the tower while adventurers are people who gave up on climbing the tower and there are people like us who gave up on everything that involves fighting call us settlers, anyways since you guys are climbers you might wanna hurry up and go to the town center"

The duo knowing fully well that a receptionist's advice is something you cannot pass upon decided to bolt away to the town center,they approached their destination only to be greeted by the same crowd they saw when they were heading to the guild,the crowd grew a lot bigger than last time approximately about 300 people,they all stood ou

t there waiting for the news.
