Episode 4 In need of money

“Yuji ~, if you are going to throw, please say it earlier~”

“Sorry . . . . ”

“Ah, over there . There is a monster~”

“Roger that . Let us go around it . ”

While listening to the protest of the slime that I have thrown in place of a reconnaissance satellite, I walk towards the village .

Because I do not have MP, I got some advice from the slimes, I chose a route that did not encounter any monsters .

At first the slimes felt unreliable, if it is like this then they are quite useful .

And then, about an hour later .

We, we arrived at the city safely .

“ . . . . I see, I had a feeling that it was a world like this . . . . ”

While saying so, it would seem that I have reached the village .

The surrounding landscape, I often see it in fantasy games, it was the so called medieval style landscape .

At the gate 『Fastan』was written, perhaps this is the name of the city .

However, there is only one thing that was fundamentally different from a game . . . . I wonder if it is all real .

But in games, the details in the background would be truncated, there is no such compromise in this world .

Well, whether it is a dream or the real world, it is natural because it is not a game .

“Oh .   You wearing strange clothes . . . . is it your first time in Fastan?”

As I was standing at the entrance of the village, I was spoken to .

The one who talked to me approached me, he is a somewhat young man .

Looks like . . . .  how should I say it, the atmosphere is perfect for adventurers to often appear in games .

“Oh . It is my first time . I just arrived earlier . ”

“Earlier? . . . . at a time like this, you safely arrived to Fastan . . . . Ah, I delayed my introduction . I am Gale . I am a swordsman in this village . ”

“I’m Yuji . My occupation . . . . it is Tamer . ”

I am, so that is what I replied .

A sage is also an occupation, but it is strange to say 2 things .

“Tamer . . . . Being here alone means, perhaps you are not only a tamer but an adventurer?”

“No . . . . probably not . ”

The answer was different, I got lost for a bit .

In the first place, I do not know whether an adventurer truly exists in this world or not .

I might be able to become an adventurer by registering or doing something, at least now it is a bit different .

“Perhaps . . . . I do not really understand it, in any case, if you are not an adventurer, it is best that you should not go out of the village anymore today . ”

“ . . . . is that so?”

“Ah . Recently, monsters have been active around this village . Usually it is impossible for monsters with strength to come out but . . . .  today, there is a particularly dangerous atmosphere . I am going to gather some adventurers who have skill, I will strengthen the defenses of this village . . . . as for the person who goes outside of town, I cannot protect you . ”

That i what Gale said, I look towards the forest .

I was able to come into the village safely, it would seem that I was fortunate .

Well, I met a dragon on the way .

Other than that, there is one thing on my mind that bothers me .

“Thank you for the advice . By the way there is one question on my mind . . . . adventurers, can I become it?”

I could not bear the magical power consumption of『h.e.l.lfire of Demise』, apparently I seem to be able to use magic, there are also skills as a tamer .

Rather than looking for work in another world without connection, being an adventurer would probably be better .

I think, as I asked a question . . . . the reaction ws subtle .

“An adventurer huh . . . .  however there is an exam, you can become one if you pa.s.s . But physical strength is necessary, however you are a tamer . . . . ”

So says the adventurer man with a difficult face .

The so called tamer part, it seems to be a hindrance .

“Speaking of tamer, is it useless?”

“ . . . . it is hard to say, to be honest it is harsh . Afterall it is an adventurer whose occupation would not be able to handle a weapon or can use magic . ”

I see . It is impossible to make use of magic or weapons .

I see . It is impossible to make use of magic or weapons .

If it is magic then, I used it recently but . . .

“Well then, what if it is a sage and not a tamer who becomes an adventurer?”

“A sage? . . . . I have never heard of it before . At least, I have never heard of sage adventurers . ”

I see . Saying so then a sage, it is not a major occupation .

. . . . by getting busy, I would probably make it here .

“Thank you for your advice . For now, I will like to take the exam . ”

“Ah . Good luck . ”

Is what Gale said, I head off to somewhere else .

An adventurer’s exam . . . .

“I am looking forward to it . ”

“Uhm . . . . guild, guild . . . . ”

Fortunately, the words that are used in this world, I seem to be able to read it .

Because there is a signboard written with『Adventurer’s Guild』, I placed the slime on my shoulder, I advanced through the town with the help of the signboard .

And then, I was able to reach the guild without getting lost .

Speaking of guilds, the building has a guild like feeling to it .

There is no other way to say it other than that . Yup . It is a guild .

I opened the door, I went inside for the time being .

“ . . . . that’s it huh . ”

In the guild, there were several windows .

One of them has a window that has『Adventurer’s Guild Exam Registration』written, I stood before it .

“Do you want to register for the exam?”

Then, the receptionist woman who was doing some work stood up, came here .

Then, the receptionist woman who was doing some work stood up, came here .

In the nameplate, the word 『Lily』 was written .

“Yes . I came to take the exam . ”

“I understand . Please write on this sheet of paper . ”

Saying so, I took the sheet of paper

On the paper 『Adventurer’s Guild Exam Registration Application Form』was written .

Somehow, it looks like a government office .

While thinking of such a thing, I fill in the fields such as name and age .

“ . . . . is your occupation huh”

The field where is says occupation in the application form, the words『One Hand Swordsman』『Two Hand Swordsman』『Magician』are written, it seems like a system wherein you select one .

However, the occupation sage is not written .

For now, I should choose tamer .

Then, if magic can be used, it seems necessary to write the attribute of the magic that you can use, I briefly write what is written in the status .

“Uhm . . . .  light, darkness, fire, water, earth, thunder, wind, s.p.a.ce-time magic, special magic, great magic, enslavement magic, bestowal magic, processing magic . . . .  oops . ”

The letters for processing magic, it protruded a little bit from the entry column .

It is possible if I write as small as possible, it would seem that the entry column was too small .

With this I ended filling up the form, I handed it over back to Lily .

“I finished filling it up . ”

“Yes . I will confirm it for a bit . ”

While saying so Lily looked over what I wrote on the application form . . . . and looks at me with a heartwarming smile .

And then . . . . my application form was returned to me .

“You can’t lie . At the time of the examination, everything would be found out . . . . . And then, first of all what is great magic, special magic or even s.p.a.ce-time magic? There is no such attribute . ”

It was in the status, so that is why I wrote it . . . .

Anyway, I should delete the unknown attributes .

“Jaa, is this ok?”

“Jaa, is this ok?”

As I said so, I once again submitted the paper .

The attributes written are, light, darkness, fire, water, earth, thunder, wind .

Lily looks at it and sighs . . . .

“If this is ok then, I will accept but . . . . really,  there is no way that you are lying to me right?”

Yeah, I heard .

I just wrote about what is in my status properly . . . . ah .

“I understand . I will correct it . This is my final answer . ”

Is what I said, I added 『Sage』 in the occupation field, I submitted it again .

But . . . . her reaction is less than desirable .

“ . . . . in the occupation column, please do not strange words . For now, I will erase it and accept it . ”

Lily told me as if she has given up, I only wrote 『Sage』on the paper that I gave to you, she placed it on the desk where the other doc.u.ments are placed .

And then, she opened her mouth .

“Well then, please give me 150,000 Cicolas as an examination fee . ”

. . . . ah .

“Examination fee, is it necessary?”

“It is a requirement . . . . by any chance, did you not know?”

Lily asked me in utter amazement .

Even if you say that, I just came to this world, today is the first day .

I mean, I don’t even know whether it is a dream or a different world .

Anyway, somehow one way or another the examination fee . . . . that’s it!

“Even if you are not registered with the guild, can you sell monster parts?”
