Chapter 117
Mind trying to protect
Shaw and Hal went back to the inn that day and with Bobo. The only three girls that Thurwin took were those whose parents worked in his workshop. The rest of the children stayed put.
Even if it’s just one person, my first goal is to have a child who can do herb collection. But what is this voidness?
The difference between rich and poor that was not felt in the northern towns, the selfishness of adults. That wasn’t even close to me when I was alive in Japan. Now there’s no way the kids themselves can complain about how to hire someone. If you can’t even tolerate the way you make pennies while collecting herbs, there’s nothing you can do.
After dinner, Shaw and Hal honestly confessed their helplessness to the mentor.
“Has an adult intervened? Oh, my God.”
My mentor frowned.
“If those three girls want to, what about being an apprentice to a pharmacist? I haven’t had so much potion to make before, so even a few apprenticeships would have been fine, but from now on I’ve said I want to increase my apprenticeships.”
Edgar suggested one solution for me.
“Even apprenticeships get allowances.”
“Of course I do. Herb collection is also a small sum of money for pharmacists, but it was well bought and liquidated. The Pharmacist Guild here is decent.”
Edgar, too, now works normally as a result of his efforts to blend into the Pharmacist Guild with all due regard to the Shaw’s arrival.
“As for healing in the church, little by little, it is beginning to bear fruit. Thanks to the mayor of the town of Canaan, who came to town and turned his back so that adults could get a trial ritual, the people who mainly make wheat came to town and stopped by the church.”
“What about the people in town”
The mentor smiled faintly and shook his neck to the side.
“I guess you think you should go to church if you get hurt. In the meantime, I rarely get hurt all over the city. I don’t really feel the damage to the slime either. That’s why very few people in town come.”
The cheeks of the mentors, who had recently reached the threshold of giving up, were like bodhisattva. If Falco was here, give me a minute.
“Instructor! What the hell is going on! You’re not feeling well!
I am enlightened at the level of screaming.
“Most of all, I’ve learned a lot about the healers using a lot more efficient magic. Only three have ever been able to heal, but five will be able to heal.”
Shaw stumbled into the mentor by accident.
“Five? Less, no, nothing. Isn’t that almost double?”
“I guess so. hahahaha”
“Huhuhuhuhuhu”
A dry laugh echoes in the dining room.
I think the results are as good as they were when I was in Anfa. In particular, it is significant that the mechanism for pharmacists to collect their own herbs and make potions has been set in motion. The power of a healer, even if that’s only a few things, doesn’t make you stupid because of the large number of people.
Still, there wasn’t much fulfillment in the Deep Forest line. Too different the way of town, and less impact. I’m supposed to have been asked to, but I feel like I’m watering the sand.
“Nevertheless, don’t worry about the fact that children work without even getting a penny. I’ll check this out. Shaw, Hal, you two do what you always do.”
“And if you see those kids, tell them if they’ll still be a pharmacist apprentice.”
To the words of the mentor and Edgar, they nodded. I left the problem with an adult and my heart only slightly lighter.
The next day, as Shaw and Hull waited for Rik and the children in the meadow, the boys who would always come came before Rik.
“That, what happened to Rick?
“I left a message that I might not be able to come today. I want you to see it today.”
It’s unusual for Rick not to come. Besides, there are no girls.
“Fine……, the girls who are always here after all?
“Yeah. When I finished school, I left right away”
“Oh well. I don’t have a choice. Speaking of which.”
Shaw told the children that the pharmacist was looking for an apprenticeship.
“Oh, we like what we do now, so no.”
I was immediately turned down. When I helped in the morning, they said I was getting a small but small allowance. However, I knew my parents were poor, so I wanted extra money if I could make it.
“Look, it’s a house that’s flown from other towns, us and those girls.”
“From other towns… it’s natural to be a hunter”
“Really?
“Yeah. It’s normal to go that way because of what kind of hunting you want to do”
The boys seemed surprised. Shaw thinks I’m surprised.
“I don’t have a good job for the drifters here. Well, we’re rooted here, and when we grow up, we make good money.”
“It is.”
It’s too different from Deep Forest around here to be difficult.
The boys have little more to teach, so line up and pick up the herbs. This is fun with this, but I figured I’d have to do it in the plains, not in the deep woods, which is still vain.
But that day, just a little but things moved.
“Huh? Did they want you to see a little more?
“Yes, to the mentor.”
Cyrus and Rick came to the inn for dinner that day.
The adult seemed to want to talk to him as an adult, and after we had dinner together, in Shaw and Hull’s Inn room, Rick came alone.
“I was wondering if you worked something out of the adults because I told Master Sein what happened yesterday. I said I want you to see how it goes, are you sure it’s Master Sain?
“Yes, I am.”
Rick nodded.
Shaw glanced at Hal and signaled to ask his mentor later.
“Garsh’s father, I mean, he’s the mayor.”
Rik lifted only one end of his mouth and half laughed.
“But the mayor is not a hereditary. Still, I guess Garsh meant to be like the leaders of the children himself. I’m a pain in the ass, so I didn’t want to get involved. It’s childish.”
To say Garsh was the son of the mayor was as laughable as you can imagine. But Hal seemed to take it differently from Shaw.
“Is that why Garsh was trying to protect the children in town?
Shaw looked at Hal more surprised.
“Were you trying to protect me?
“Yeah.”
Hal shook his neck vertically honestly.
“Huh? Not just a little boy?
“Yeah.”
Now he’s smiling bitterly.
“You know, what you’re doing is childish selfishness, and I’m wondering if you have any antagonism for Rick. But at the root of it, I feel like I’m not gonna let a stranger bully a kid in town.”
“I didn’t at all”
In Shaw’s reply, Hal laughed out loud this time.
“Because slime is dangerous, and I’m not talking about yesterday’s adults, but you’re trying to get kids to work. I don’t think he ever had a problem with money, he wanted to let those kids play.”
That being said, when I think back to yesterday, I feel like my parents were saying it was bad that I was poor or that my kids could let me work 24/7.
“I know what Shaw’s thinking. But maybe it was a buying word for the sale.”
Hal was like an adult laughing that he had no choice.
“Maybe Hal’s right.”
Rick is a little stubborn.
“Originally he tried to put me in his own group, but I didn’t like it, and then he managed to make up his mind that I was a kid on the farm, and he was a pain in the ass. I’m coming up against something. Well, most of the time I win without difficulty, so when it comes to where he can win, it means he lives in town and he’s surrounded by a lot of people.”
If you’re an adult, Shaw thinks you can’t help but hate herds.
“But that’s the relationship. I wonder if he made me say things he didn’t even think he would say yesterday.”
