Adventurers Guild and the First Commission

In the adventurers guild, we paid money -> received cards -> got an explanation, isnt that order backwards? I said as much.

Why would they bother to explain to broke people? Was what they said. Harsh.

Well, we only gave you the card beforehand because you came with Gatekeeper-san you know? If we deem you are no good after the inspection, your guild cards will be seized and you will be expelled from the town by the guilds staff.

The heck? Scary.

Ah, by the way, Im sorry but we wont return the money.

Thats even more scary. You cheapskate!

The inspection has already begun, you know?

Hahaha, I was just kidding. Your treatment of strangers is incredibly reasonable. Yep, very much so.

So long as you understand.

Come on, its just troublesome if you do that.

By the way, were in a different room now. Looks like they explain while heading to the inspection.

Theyre almost definitely going to use lie detecting magic tools.

Lets try and answer these carefully.

Then some questions your hometown?

Ah, well, I cant answer that. I dont really know.

Me too.

I wonder how theyd say Japan in this world. Another world?

What are you good at? It doesnt affect what class you want. Please say if you have any battle experience or things like that.

Ive never been in a fight, I hope to be a rear guard. Oh, how can I become a mage?

I can work using my body. Im even okay being beaten.

Meat-san? Why do you look a bit delighted by saying you want to be beaten?

I was told that to practice to become a mage Id need to buy scrolls from magic shops.

Why do you want to be adventurers?

To improve my life.

Because Goshujin-sama told me.

I just want to sleep in safety, Im not aiming at getting rich

That was very helpful. Well, then for criminal backgrounds, do you have anything you cant discuss? With that, are those your real names? If those are pseudonyms, please tell me your real names.

It is my real name. As for something I cant talk about hmmm ah, did you want to hear about my fetish?

I dont know it since I cant remember.

Still, she stared at me with eyes that seemed to say it was alright and that she was looking at something dirty.

Though it looks like I dodged the subject, I wonder if my glance wandering under the table at her feet (leather boots) was exposed

M-maybe the magic tool understood what I was thinking about!? Maybe I cant deal with it after all!?

What do you think of little girls? Please answer honestly.

Eh? Theyre cute, I guess?

I wont lose.

Huh? I dont understand the intention of that question. This isnt time to pick up men, Receptionist-san with beautiful breasts. I wonder if my response was the correct answer?

And Meat, why did you say you wont lose? Ah, is it something about Rokuko? Did something happen?

Alright, thank you very much As for any problems there doesnt seem to be any, congratulations. With this youre clear and ready to become an adventurer.

Thank you.

Continuing on, I will explain the guild.

The heck, thats an amazing objection.

But we passed since there werent any problems.

According to her explanation, the guild has a rank system with S at the top, continuing from A to G after that. It seems that people like us who have no experience start at G-Rank. Ranking up is done by commission achievement points and a guild inspection.

She informed us that since commissions are put on the bulletin board, we only need to bring one that matches our rank to the counter.

(Looks like the price for those who cant read is negotiable. Doesnt matter to us though.)

That and that the adventurer guild wouldnt help at all if we commit a crime. The guild card would be invalidated and confiscated, as well as the reward being taken away.

I see, I get it. Oh, should I watch out for anything else while staying in town?

Its better to keep away from the slum outside of the south gate. There, even though theyre slaves, they get treated harshly.

Woah. So the slaves there get treated more like slaves?

Though I feel awkward treating Meat roughly shes a child after all.

Thanks for the advice

I wouldnt follow it, but I didnt tell her that.

From her glare, even if I didnt say it she probably understood that though.

*

There were no template-like events to welcome newcomers. Drunk adventurers? Dead drunk and asleep. Its good they arent making trouble.

Well then, lets check out the commissions immediately.

I looked for information about [Dungeons] and the [Ordinary Cave].

Oh, there it is, Dungeon [Ordinary Cave]s Survey Reward: 1 Silver Coins, 2 People Minimum eh, F-Rank or higher huh. What now? We cant accept it if its not G.

We need to increase our rank. Looks like itll take some time ah, nope. All of a sudden its become tiresome. I wanna sleep

y9PayBB

Meat, are there any commissions we can take at G-Rank? Something easy if possible.

Hmm ah. What about this one?

The request Meat found was: Toilet Cleaning, Reward: 8 Copper Coins, Rank-N/A, 1 Person Minimum.

Ah, yeah. There it is. I wouldnt have understood if it said something like herb collecting.

Huh? But isnt it fine to use use [Cleanup]? Thinking that, I took it to the counter to ask about it.

Oh, yes. The commission wants cleaning since [Cleanup] didnt work. Will you do it?

Please give me a moment to think about it.

Thats just filthy is what I was thinking, when Meat secretly spoke to me.

Itll be fine if its Goshujin-samas [Cleanup]. Itll even be more clean than usual.

Eh, you think so?

Goshujin-samas bubbles are amazing. Its alright. If that doesnt work Ill clean it.

Is that so? Though the image is important for magic, was there that much of a difference?

Well, Ill give it a go since Meat said shell clean it if it doesnt work.

Excuse me, well do this one.

Alright, you have accepted it. The location is the west industrial zones blacksmith, dont get lost. Dont forget to have the client sign the commission ticket after you have finished.

The heck, did I do something to Receptionist-san?

She was looking at me with eyes like she saw something incredibly filthy. Even her words were sharp.

Is that it? That I was going to treat Meat more like a slave after all?

At any rate, we went to deal with the commission since we accepted it.

Though the map she showed me was quickly taken back, I didnt have any problems since I could look at the menu and arrived at the west industrial zone.

Its invisible to Meat, so I figured other people couldnt see it. Itd be better to not stand out in public, it would probably look suspicious for a person to look around at nothing in front of them.

The walking that Id left to the clothes golem stopped abruptly. Looks like we arrived at our destination. Its good we didnt get lost.

I decided to finish it quickly and pass the commission ticket to the client. The client was a man that felt like an experienced and taciturn artisan.

A slave huh. That mean youll have the slave there do the cleaning? Pretty small though

Ill take a look at it first. We more or less accepted the commission together after all.

That so? Over here then.

Peeking my head into the restroom, it was filled with the unique stench of human waste. Blegh, I feel nauseous.

Its fine to vomit, but clean it up yourself. I hired you to clean the stains.

Ah, yeah.

Call for me when youre done.

The client left quickly. Thats convenient.

You okay, Meat?

Im used to this.

What kind of place where you in? Thinking that, I tried out using [Cleanup].

I specifically pictured bleaching things with a chlorinated detergent.

[Cleanup]

The entire restroom was covered in a froth of bubbles. After the restrooms walls and floor were covered, it wrapped the toilet in bubbles before disappearing. Itd become completely clean, even having a faint scent of chlorine and lavender drift through the air. It felt like a real restroom after being cleaned.

Oh, the brown porcelain was originally white. The rest of the restroom was the same.

Goshujin-sama is amazing.

Oh, nice.

However, it was over in an instant Hmm, since I dont want to become a famous adventurer, this stands out too much in various ways. Maybe Ill kill time with a little nap?

Alright. Well then, Meat. Please pretend to clean the restroom. Ill go do a bit of information gathering. If someone comes say Im in the middle of cleaning Thats right, about one hour should be fine. The clock golem you have, does it have enough mana? Ah, please watch the clock without letting anyone see.

Y-yes one hour, then.

Ill leave it to you if someone comes before I return. If no one comes before an hours up, get the commission end signature and wait for me.

U-understood.

I left Meat in the restroom and secretly went outside.

Even though its clean now, its still weird to sleep in a restroom after all.
