Life in Another World With Narration

9 – Becoming an Adventurer

When I woke up, it was a little past lunch time.

I was so tired that I didn’t even know when I fell asleep.

Anyway, I guess I’ll have to go to Akbari Lake again soon.

After leaving the inn, she stretched out and relieved her sore body.

And on the way, I bought a meat skewer with the remaining 5 silver and headed to Akbari Lake.

* * *

When we arrived at the ship, the captain of the Akbari was at her dock to check the condition of her ship.

As soon as I found the captain, I approached him and greeted him first.

“Are you here? I think the cleaning will be finished within today. “I worked as hard as I could.”

“Hmm.”

The captain said, still glaring at me with her sparkling white eyes.

“When I went up on her deck earlier, I saw she worked harder than I thought.”

“You have already been asked to do this, so you have to work hard.”

“What is that?”

The captain asked while looking at the robe I was holding.

“Oh, this is a mop to use for finishing cleaning.”

Actually, it’s Meruru’s clothes.

The captain nodded.

“I see. Anyway, finish it by tomorrow. I have to do shipping tomorrow. “I’ll give you the money then.”

“Okay, just leave it to me.”

“Hmph, you are more sincere than you look. “If I had more stamina, I would have used it as a sailor.”

The captain grinned at her with a glint in her eyes, and then she disappeared back towards the streets of Kubel.

She is also a scary person.

But she felt like a much nicer person than she looked.

It would be a lot less scary if it weren’t for the habit of opening your eyes like that.

I may have developed that impression after working in rough seas for a long time.

We climbed back onto the huge hull of the Akbari and headed to her luggage compartment where Meruru was hiding.

I didn’t realize it when I was cleaning, but when I came back during the day, I saw that I had done a great job cleaning.

For some reason, I feel proud.

Anyway, what kind of wooden barrel was Meruru hiding in?

I hope you stay safe and well.

That should be it.

“Hey, Meruru. “It’s okay to come out now.”

I kicked the wooden barrel underneath and called out to him.

After a while, the wooden barrel shook, the lid opened, and Meruru with messy hair stuck out her head.

“Ugh! I thought you weren’t coming! “It comes too late!”

“You came anyway. “Let’s eat this first.”

I handed out the meat skewer I bought with all the remaining 5 silver.

“Since there is only one, we take turns eating it starting from the one on top.”

“And… meat!”

Meruru opened her mouth and looked at her meat skewer with her sparkling eyes.

First, I took a bite of the meat and green onion from the top and ate it, then handed it to Meruru.

Meruru then pulled out the meat and green onions with her hands and stuffed them into her mouth.

“It’s so delicious…” … “I’ve never had anything like this even in my hometown.”

Meruru’s eyes became moist as she puffed out her cheeks and chewed meat and green onions.

What on earth does this guy eat for a living that makes him so moved?

Anyway, seeing her eat it so deliciously that it brought tears to my eyes, I think I made a good decision to buy it.

After sharing it with each other twice, the meat skewers disappeared in an instant.

To be honest, it wasn’t enough to fill my stomach, but I don’t have any money right now, so there’s nothing I can do.

“Now, and try this on.”

After eating all the meat skewers, I gave Meruru the robe I bought after bargaining with a street vendor.

Even now, it looks a bit tattered and dirty.

I hope this covers the tail and ears properly.

“Hey, are you wearing this? “I thought it was a big mop.”

“Once you cover your ears and tail with this, you won’t have any problems walking around.”

“Ugh… ….”

“Or Neighborhood. I am a rare beastman from far away. Please sell it at a high price. “And go around advertising.”

With those words, Meruru immediately put on the robe I gave her.

Although the lower hem was very tattered, it still nicely covered the ears and tail.

“Good. “If you cover it up, there won’t be any problems for a while.”

“It smells strange…….”

Meruru put her nose to her sleeve and sniffed, frowning her pickled radish eyebrows.

I did everything I could with this.

I think I was paid enough for helping with cleaning.

“Didn’t you say you had something to do on the continent?”

“That’s it. “We have to find her sister.”

“Sister?”

“When she was young, her older sister left her home and she went to the continent. And she didn’t come back. “She is something to behold.”

“Is it looking for family…?” ….”

It won’t be easy to find family on this wide continent.

“I hope you find it. “You can go now.”

I reached out my hand and stroked Meruru’s head.

The remaining cleaning of the Akbari was just finished, so it was enough for me to do it alone.

“I was thankful for the clothes and meat. Oh, I don’t appreciate cleaning.”

“Yes, yes.”

“I’m asking you to tell me your name. “I don’t know your name yet.”

“Yunoa, you can just call me Noah.”

Meruru looked at me for a moment, then left the Akbari, wearing the robe I bought her.

* * *

“He was a fun guy.”

After sending Meruru away, she completely completed the cleaning of the Akbari Lake by herself.

I was looking out at the distant sea with sunlight pouring down on the deck.

I don’t have any money today, so I guess I’ll just starve and sleep on the boat.

I remembered Meruru’s words about the sailors skipping food on the ship, so I went to the kitchen, but there was nothing left to eat on the ship, as all the food and water had been unloaded during the unloading process.

The sea bathed in sunlight was sparkling with calm waves.

A wind slightly laden with salt blew, bringing with it the unique smell of the sea.

The scenery of this world was definitely more beautiful than the world I lived in.

It is healing to look at not only the night sky, but also the daytime scenery like this.

I am neither a hero who saves the world nor an adventurer who is famous on the continent.

When I first came to this world, I had no idea what was going on and aimed for that kind of life, but what is my goal now?

If I had a little more time, I would have been able to enjoy the beauty of this other world more.

Maybe I wanted to climb tens of thousands of stairs in one step.

For some reason, the narration is quiet.

When I’m thinking like this, it seems like it’s time to suddenly appear and scratch my insides.

Still, my thoughts of becoming an adventurer have not changed.

But what is different from before is that I don’t want to become ‘the world’s strongest, greatest adventurer.’

I want to travel more in this amazing and beautiful world.

I want to see more diverse and interesting things.

I want to have the time to look around this world without worrying about making a living.

So I want to become an adventurer.

What do you think, Narration?

I’m quite proud of this, right?

With that thought in my head, I waited for the voice I might hear.

As expected, the narration was silent.

“Even if I die, they won’t praise me.”

The sea breeze was blowing strongly.

I walked inside the ship, where the cabin was, to avoid the wind.

* * *

“Thank you for your hard work. Here is the promised money.”

“Thank you.”

The next day, the captain of the Akbari gave me compensation for cleaning the ship as promised.

At the dock, sailors were lining up and busy loading large boxes onto the ship.

“To be honest, I wasn’t really looking forward to it, but they cleaned it up properly. “Better than most cleaning crews.”

“I did my best.”

“hahahaha! Well, if you have that kind of grit, you will be recognized wherever you go.”

In front of the captain, whose white eyes were flashing and smiling horribly, I checked the amount in the money bag I received.

Let’s see…… What? It was a little more than the money I was supposed to receive.

The captain said, looking at me with wide eyes.

“2 Gold. Because you cleaned better than I expected. “It looks like it’s difficult to make a living, but since you’re young, live hard.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

I bowed my head several times and thanked the captain of the Akbari.

Captain, I’m sorry for thinking that the Kraken would run away just by looking at its appearance.

After all, it is right to judge people based on their inner self, yes.

For the first time in another world, I did a proper job and received precious money as fair compensation.

Never waste it and use it where you really need it.

* * *

After receiving the captain’s pay and returning to Kubel’s Street, I decided to have a hearty meal first.

How many days can I survive by eating only 5 silver meat skewers?

Hunger Experience It’s not 24 hours a day, and if you want to turn your head and do anything, you need to have a full stomach.

2 Gold was enough money to be wasted in a week even if I saved it, but having this money definitely made me feel rich.

Walk down Kubel’s restaurant street and enjoy the scent of food wafting from all directions.

This time, we are going to eat in a proper restaurant, so the range of menu choices has expanded accordingly.

『Yunoa, who was in a good mood at the thought of eating a proper meal for the first time in a long time, did not notice.

The fact that someone is following behind them.』

At that time, I suddenly heard a voice in my head.

I hurriedly put the money bag I was carrying into the deepest part of my chest and looked back.

Is a pickpocket following you? No, it will never happen like that.

If there is someone who pickpockets the money I earned with my hard work, I will risk my life to chase after them and not let them go.

Now that the narration has said it, it’s clear that someone is following me.

Who the hell is this?

A pursuer sent by Bishop Xaviel, who realized that he had run away with the saint?

A pickpocket waiting for money and looking for an opportunity?

Or is it a slave trader who loses his appetite after seeing my shabby appearance?

I was anxious and decided to somehow find the guy who was following me.
