Part 4
Kamijou, together with Misaka Imouto and Alice, once again walked around aimlessly.
(200 silvers should be a piece of cake.)
Kamijou may not have the memory of playing the RPG games he had at his dorm but information of 200 silvers being a small amount of money was still retained in his brain.
“For starters, let’s go to the pub. Quests usually are handed out there in games right?”
Misaka Imouto nodded to his words while Alice just looked at him while tilting her head.
“Let’s make a party by the way. It would be easier to do things if we’re together in one party. I do not know how to make one though.”
“Misaka will handle it, says Misaka while creating party.”
You have been invited to a party.
Kamijou quickly accepted the party.
You have accepted the party invitation.
Alice was already in the party when Kamijou joined. With the party already set, they continued walking towards the pub.
“What a lively place.”
The three of them entered a building with a ‘Pub’ sign hanging on top of the entrance. The inside of the pub was filled with lots of noise. Some people were gambling, some were cheering those who gambled, others were talking to their friends while others were just drinking quietly by themselves. Everyone inside were enjoying themselves.
While looking around the place, they moved towards the place where the bartender was. As if noticing the three, the bartender whose body was fit as an athlete approached them.
“Is there something I can do for you?”
The bartender asked with a voice befitting his image and his job.
“We just started here today and would like to ask if there are available quests you can give us.”
“Quests? What is that?”
(Eh?)
Kamijou was shocked at the unexpected reply. He was sure he would get a quest or two if he went to the pub. But looks like that failed.
“But if you are asking if there’s something you can help with, then I have some.”
The bartender continued on as if reading Kamijou’s thought.
“Really!? Please tell us!”
“Hoo? So enthusiastic.”
The bartender smiled at Kamijou’s attitude.
“Would you go to the brewery at the south part of the city? With all these customers here, I’m afraid the stock will soon be depleted. Just look for a man named Alan and say you’re from the pub. He’ll know what I want to order so just bring that back to me. Oh and please bring it back immediately.”

Decreasing Supplies at the Pub
The pub named ‘Pub’ in Serabourg is facing imminent danger of running out of supplies. Look for the person named Alan in the brewery located at the south of the city as requested by the pub’s bartender. Make haste or there would be trouble in the pub!
Difficulty level: E
Quest requirements
None
Warning: If a full day have passed and the supplies are not delivered, you will fail the quest.
Failing the quest would result in decrease of fame by 10 and decrease in friendship with the pub’s bartender.
Reward:
10 silver
Increase in friendship with the pub’s bartender.
“Finally a quest!”
Kamijou Touma had been very busy dealing with various things since he met Index in that hospital room. Because of that, he never had the time to play any game on his dorm. The consoles and the games just accumulated dust. Besides, he had no memory of playing any game or obtaining a quest. Hence him being excited on this new-found experience.
“But the reward is smaller than I thought it would be. Why just 10 silver?”
He felt the reward to be too small.
(Though I really have no idea on the value of the currency here. How many bread can you buy with that anyway?)
“Ah Misaka Imouto, can quests be shared or do you have to talk to the bartender to get the quest I got?”
“It can be shared, says Misaka with ‘tokidoki’ in her chest.”
Kamijou then shared the quest with his party.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
“Anyway, let’s now head to the brewery! Let’s go!”
“Misaka is excited, says Misaka forming a smile.”
A smile can’t be seen in Misaka Imouto’s face though but Kamijou could feel she was happy. Alice on the other hand had an expression showing deep thought while muttering ‘I did not know earning 200 silvers would be tough’.
Kamijou’s party exited the pub. With Misaka Imouto’s suggestion of asking around to find the brewery, the three continued walking around the city. After an hour, they reached the place.
The distance to the brewery wasn’t that far and should only take 20 minutes from the pub but the people they asked mostly did not know where it was. They tried asking the ones in the shop and they had more luck with their answers.
The trio entered the brewery and were greeted by the smell of beer. All of them were minors so they found the smell repulsive. Trying not to breathe in too much of the smell, they walked towards the reception desk.
“I’d say this now but we don’t sell to minors.”
The man behind the reception desk threw Kamijou a sharp glance.
“I don’t drink! We’re sent here by the bartender in the pub and told us to look for someone named Alan.”
After listening to Kamijou, the man with a sharp glare looked at Kamijou and his party with an even sharper glare. Narrowing his eyes even further and placing his hand on his not so shaved beard, the man spoke to them.
“That is the problem. I am also looking for that incompetent fool who skipped his work today. It would be great if you could find him for me. He was supposed to handle the deliveries today but I haven’t seen him since this morning’s delivery.”
‘Ting’
Disappearance of the Incompetent Beer Delivery Boy
The brewer who is obviously not in the mood is looking for his incompetent employee, Alan. Last seen heading out on his morning’s delivery. Investigate his whereabouts and bring him back to the brewery.
Difficulty level: E
Quest requirement:
Having a quest with relation to Alan of the brewery.
Reward:
12 silver
“Great! Another quest! More rewards!”
Kamijou rejoiced. He did not expect to get another quest while doing another.
“Quest limit is three, reminds Misaka.”
“So we only have space for one more, huh.”
The two of them speak to each other while Alice stayed quietly looking at the two. Her haughty attitude from earlier no longer preset, though it could be just because she experienced being hit by Kamijou’s right hand.
Kamijou then shared the second quest with his party.
“Alan’s morning deliveries are within the castle. Now, go!”
Being urged by the brewer, the three of them walked out of the brewery.
“So that’s where we should go, huh?”
Located at the center of the city, a magnificent castle towers above everything else. Completely devoid of the beauty of the modern world, it vibrates with a different kind of beauty not lacking of appreciation. Flags fluttered above the towers of the castle. The proud symbol waving on top symbolizes the power of the lord of the castle.
“A castle! We can go inside that castle, right!?”
Regaining her vigour once again, Alice tugged Kamijou’s clothes and pointed at the large castle. Her eyes were filled with excitement that surprised Kamijou.
Kamijou, who only visited few castles before, could not help but feel excitement too in seeing the inside of the castle in the middle of the city.
“I know, just stop pulling on my clothes!”
“If you know, then let’s hurry up! To the castle!”
Removing her hands on Kamijou’s clothes, Alice began running.
“Oi! You’ll get lost if you run!”
As if not hearing Kamjiou’s shout, the figure continued gaining distance.
“No choice then! Up for some exercise, Misaka Imouto?”
“Always ready, says Misaka as she outwitted you and began running.”
“Oh!? Wait, you two!”
And so, Kamijou started running to chase upon his companion’s backs.
A smile clearly visible on his face.
Which is why they did not notice the person looking at them since earlier.
“Found you, Kamijou Touma.”
A smile which could be said to be both angel-like and devil-like, continued looking towards the youth’s back.
