Volume 1 Chapter 4

+1 steady breathing

When Mutai arrived in town, he saw a group leaving town. He was very tempted to run up and drop kick the knight, who was laughing.

Entering the mayors office, Mary tried to greet him, but gave up when she saw the look on his face.

When the mayor saw him, they both started swearing, fumming, and getting drunk.

"They took their sweet time huh?"

"Adventurers you know? Think the whooole world just *hick* revolves around them"

"That knight had the smuggest look on his face..."

"Mutai...... take this message back to _ city _ . It will make it so they lose some fame."

"Mayor *sniff* thank you..."

"Also take these letters, standard stuff this time, so ya won't get as much... 10 silver."

"Ehh, sure why not."

The next couple of days passed quickly for Mutai. 

After making his second run to the city and repairing all his gear, he returned to the town and ran the errands he had become accustomed to over the last month.

But after fighting for the first time, Mutai started thinking about his situation. And so.....

"You want to get a recommendation?"

The mayor was suprised.

"Yeah, I think I've stayed here to long. I mean its been wonderful but... I mean, this kind of work isn't good enough if I want a family someday."

In actuallity, Mutai had realized how little job security he had. 

He was doing stuff any small village boy could do and was starting to get a little tired of seeing the same old things.

The mayor would be his best ticket to a job as an offical courier.

"....Hmmm... here let me write you something up. Have you told everyone in town yet?"

"No not yet."

"Well, this will take me an hour or two, so go say good-bye to everyone."

It was interesting to see everyones reaction. Most people seem to think he was going to have left a lot sooner. Some wanted to keep him around. 

Some.... well, that night with Mary wasn't something he would forget....

"Mayor Jinroe wrote the recommendation himself? Let me take a look at it..."

The courier application office, located in the secret basement floor of the civic office felt like an interregation room.

"...."

"Well, I'll be damned."

The older man in the room said.

"What?"

"Ah, right, you might not know this about your mayor, but normally the only time he talks about someone is to complain.
