Life in Another World With Narration

23 – The Warrior and the Saint

The guild’s adventurer badge is officially divided into three levels.

Gold, silver, bronze.

However, the guild operates with a total of 4 levels, including the unofficial level of Novice.

Adventurer guilds existed in almost every city of a certain size across the continent.

And the adventurer level received in one city is also used in other adventurer guilds on the continent.

However, since there were many guilds that did not enforce the Novice grade depending on the city, it was meaningless in other cities.

In fact, this means that in order to travel and roam around various cities as an adventurer, you must have at least a bronze rank.

“Yes, I received the documents successfully. “Starting today, you will officially be working at the Bronze level.”

“What do I do with my Novice badge?”

“Please return it this way.”

Today, Tina, who is working hard as a receptionist, received confirmation of her promotion to bronze.

At first, he would greet me first when he saw me, but now his demeanor was completely businesslike.

Is it my imagination that the dark circles under my eyes are getting darker?

I guess working as a guild receptionist isn’t an easy job.

Meanwhile, there was a commotion going on at the window next door.

“Uggyaaa! “Didn’t you say it was a request to bring back a Thunderhawk egg!!!!”

“Hiss- This is the Thunder Hawk’s egg…” ….”

“Are you looking down on this Meruru! Does this look like a Thunderhawk egg?! Anyone can see that it is a reptile egg!”

Meruru, who has been put in charge of the reception desk specializing in heterogeneous races, gets into a war of words with some lizard people.

On the counter, a white, elongated egg covered in sticky mucus lay in a nest made of straw.

“Hiss- I mean it- I went to the Thunderhawk’s nest- Hiss- I brought it myself-“

“You must not underestimate Meruru! This egg is an unfertilized egg! “Aren’t you the one who gave birth?”

When Meruru shouted, the scales covering the lizard man’s face turned red.

Oh my god, what am I seeing?

“The request is cancelled! “You also have to pay a penalty!”

Meruru swept her egg(?) On her counter with her arm and threw it away.

The lizard person picked it up with a downcast expression and stepped away from the counter with her head down.

“Hey… “Is that what the window for exclusive use of different races is supposed to be like?”

I couldn’t help but ask Tina about the atmosphere in Meruru, which was completely different from the general reception desk.

“Among the adventurers of different races who come here from time to time, there are people like that Lizardman who try to get commission rewards by tricking them.”

“But is it okay to do that to a customer?”

“Even though it looks like that, Meruru is very popular. “Sometimes, there are people who come wearing fake ears on purpose to handle business at that window.”

I looked at Meruru, who was still fuming, with amazed eyes.

Even if it goes out like that, there is no problem as long as the adventurers’ preference is high.

Well, guilds are also a kind of business, so it doesn’t matter as long as it helps the business.

Anyway, I successfully became a bronze-level adventurer.

From now on, I can proudly call myself an adventurer even when I go to other cities.

Every morning, there was no need to do chores that only novice level adventurers could do.

There was something I wanted to do when I became a bronze adventurer.

I immediately looked at the request bulletin board with other adventurers with a serious expression.

I immediately stood among the other adventurers and looked at the bulletin board with an expression like, ‘What request should I make today?’

[King Blue Slime reappears in the forest! / Bronze / 5 Gold]

[Subdue a group of Ratmen in the sewer below the pier. / Silver / 15 Gold]

[Looking for an albino goblin. Capture required. / Silver / 30 Gold]

[Many spores appear in the mushroom farm. / Bronze / 5 Gold]

Various requests were crudely posted on the bulletin board.

No matter how many requests were posted and removed, the bulletin board was in a completely tattered state.

Basically, the lowest reward is 5 gold.

It was definitely a way to make money that couldn’t be compared to cleaning or working hard.

Even if you are a bronze adventurer, you can make a fairly prosperous living if you faithfully carry out requests.

“Okay, starting today, my mayfly life is over.”

I started to select requests that I could do from the bulletin board.

The seven dioceses elect saints through regular meetings, and the saints find those who possess the qualities of her warriors through her revelation.

After Saint Sistine from the Diocese of Freia ran away from the church, a new saint was finally elected.

This saint came from the Diocese of Castia, which was the most powerful among the seven dioceses.

The Diocese of Prea, which failed to sufficiently assist the saint in fulfilling her duties, was forcibly excluded from the election of the saint.

“Is it the Diocese of Castile…? ….”

When a new saint was selected, Bishop Xavier, who had been excluded from the selection of saints, also attended.

He was watching the process of other bishops selecting a saint from a distance with an uncomfortable expression.

“Selena of the Diocese of Castile. “She is the new saint who will find the hero.”

“Quickly spread this good news to each church.”

“I hope we can find the hero this time.”

Three days later.

The new saint Selena was called to the central church to be formally granted her saintly role.

She was a short, very fragile-looking saint with neat brown hair.

With the bishops watching, she rolled her eyes nervously, as if it still didn’t feel real.

Selena bowed her head, and the bishops of the seven dioceses took turns pouring holy water from her chalice on her saint’s head.

With this, she was recognized as a new saint.

But after a while.

With her hair and her clothes drenched with her holy water, Saint Selena raised her head again and opened her mouth.

“I have something important to say to the bishops gathered here.”

“Please speak.”

A strange tension arose among the bishops at the new saint’s request to speak.

Starting today, Selena became a new saint, and her expression of anxiety from just a moment ago had completely disappeared from her face.

She closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath, then she turned to the bishops and said:

“I found the hero.”

“Please give me all the menu items here.”

Qubel’s high-end restaurant specializing in meat dishes.

I said to the waiter as soon as I saw the menu.

“Wow! Is it okay?! “It’s huge!”

Meruru was so startled that she almost jumped out of her chair, her fox-like ears perking up.

A week after becoming a bronze adventurer, I decided to buy food for Tina and Meruru just in time for them to get off work.

“I’m looking forward to it because it’s my first time eating it.”

Tina also smiled happily and said.

Being an adventurer is a truly lucrative profession.

Thanks to completing two or three requests without stopping every day for a week, my pockets were bigger than ever.

This was especially true because there were many bronze-level requests that could be resolved quickly and easily.

It was a new world for me, who was used to earning a day and living from day to day.

If I see something I want to eat while walking down the street, I buy it and eat it right away.

If there is something I want to buy, I buy it right away.

In the past, this was something I couldn’t even dream of.

“For both of them, they received help when it was difficult. “When I made money, the first thing I wanted to do was repay the favor.”

If it weren’t for Tina, I might still be wandering on the streets.

If it weren’t for Meruru, Kubel would have run out of money and starved to death.

Both of them were benefactors to me.

Although he is not here, if Oren was alive, she would like to buy him food like this too.

“Anyway, I was surprised. “When I first joined the guild, Tina was working as a receptionist.”

I talked to Tina for a quick chat while waiting for my food.

Then, a shadow suddenly appeared on Tina’s face, who had been smiling just thinking about her food.

“Ahahahaha… “It was the only place to work.”

Then, she touches the area under her eyes with her hand.

I think I’m concerned about the dark circles that are much darker than when I first saw them.

“It seems like it’s very difficult. The receptionist job…….”

“Even if it’s true for customers, there’s too much paperwork. My eyes are getting blurry these days…….”

“Ahahahaha…….”

I think it would be best not to bring up work any more.

This time, I ask Meruru, who cannot leave her ears alone while waiting for food.

“How is Meruru? I get along well?”

“I am doing well! But her sister hasn’t been found yet…….”

“Are there any clues yet? Did she try to look for it?”

“Whenever the story of the beast people comes in, Tina always tells me… ….”

When the story of her older sister came out, Meruru’s ears drooped and folded.

No, why is the atmosphere like this?

If you say something, it ends up being a vaguely depressing story.

In the end, we stopped chatting and quietly waited for the food to come out.

At the table next to us, a group of people who appeared to be adventurers were ordering food and talking among themselves.

“Did you hear that? “I heard a new saint has been chosen.”

“It seems that this time she is a saint and her divine power is great.”

The topic of conversation is so interesting that I listen without even realizing it.

Tina, a former saint, seemed to be worried, but her eyebrows narrowed slightly and she did not move.

“Why? “Is there anything else?”

“I heard that as soon as she was chosen as a saint, she nominated a warrior?”

“What? Really? “Is that possible?”

“I guess I did it because it was possible.”

Ah, Tina looked surprised in a very quiet voice.

“The food you ordered has arrived.”

At the same time, the food I ordered was brought out on a large cart.

A warrior and a saint……. Well, it has nothing to do with me.

It would be the same for Tina.

Let’s eat something.
