4-3. Miscellaneous Matters and Flags (2/2)
”She seems to be alright. I've given her change of clothes and underwear, so if you go now you could get to see lucky lewd scenes you know~?”
I knock on Arisa's head for saying stupid things. Are you really half sister of that girl?
”Let's stop for a bit~.”
I declared that and go to the Worker Guild.
”Hello Nadi-san.”
”Ara, welcome Satou-san. You're together with a cute girl today.”
As we entered, Nadi-san greeted courteously from the other side of the counter. There's also an old man, which seems to be the shopkeeper, but he always sleep whenever I come. Does he even work?
I talk to Nadi-san for a request to deliver mementos of the deceased.
Rather than a suspicious guy like me, this town's person like Nadi-san would be better to deliver them. By the way, I tried asking the officials at the temporary military post but I was flat out rejected. Because I conveyed the deceased name and rough figures, she should be able to contact the bereaved families.
”Do you also want me to collect the remuneration on your behalf?”
”Come again? What remuneration?”
After conveying the information about the deceased to Nadi-san who willingly undertake the delivery, I hear some strange things.
It seems that she wanted to know if she's also to act as an agent for receiving the rewards for delivering mementos. I'm just being a busybody so I don't really need rewards...
”Then how about only receive the reward if the family is rich? People like those will get suspicious you're aiming for something if you deliver the mementos without asking rewards.”
So it become like that. It was decided to give the worker guild the maximum limit of the fee.
”Nadi-san, I have another matter to ask...”
Since I intend to buy or rent a house, I ask for the market price. In the end, I didn't ask for the intermediation though, and it's not because I can't afford it.
Nadi-san says, ”There are a lot of people who dislike living in neighborhood with demi-human, of course this applies in the inner wall, but even in the west district, I don't think anyone would sell you a house. You could find it in the east street if you look for it, but since the public order is bad, if a prosperous person like Satou-san comes to live in, then thieves would attack you on the next day without a doubt.”, so I was informed.

”Please sign this transaction document. The expense for appraising the spear has been deducted from the paid amount. The spear's safety has been verified so you can bring it to the town, but please take care as not to give demi-human the weapon.”
I sign the document presented by the official, and receive the spear back. I wrap the spear with cloth I brought.
The price of the magic cores is 17 silver coins. The appraisal fee is 2 silver coins, I wonder if that's a proper amount? Honestly, I think you can live just being an appraiser.
Just by going to the labyrinth with 4 of us in a day, we earned 6 Arisa... Wait, that unit is funny. It wouldn't be able to afford skill holder or knowledgeable slaves but if it's for labor slaves then it's plentiful.
If I distribute it for 4 then with our current living expense, it's enough for half a month...
”Eh~ Labyrinth is quite profitable~.”
”You're risking your life though.”
Arisa who was quiet inside the temporary military post began to cheerfully talk as soon as we got out. Her eyes is literally shining.
”Hey, Master, can you listen to me? Do you want to settle down in this town?”
”No, I don't have such intention.”
Since we'll be obstructing people on the entrance, we're talking while continue walking.
”But, but, weren't you going to buy a house just a while ago?”
”I don't want to keep Liza and the girls stay in the barn so I was thinking of buying one but it seems to be impossible~”
Liza was going to say something but lost the moment to Arisa's vigor.
”The lover-san earlier is your local wife?”
”Don't say that unpleasant words Though I do want to get closer, she's not my lover. We've met only 3 days ago you know?”
.
”Then~ I want to go to labyrinth city!”
Arisa declares while raising her hands and posturing with her entire body that it almost feel like she's letting out SFX.
Labyrinth again.
”Labyrinth city that mean there's a labyrinth there isn't it? Don't you feel repulsed to it?”
”Uuun, certainly unpleasant memories feel like they're going to resurface but more importantly! I want to raise my level!”
This isn't a game.
No, precisely because this is not a game that she'd want to level up.
”What do you want to do after you level up?”
”It's going to be demon lord season soon, so I want to level up in order to survive! While I'm at it, I want to raise magic skill that could be used to solve the Geass too.”
Demon lord season, they're not cabbages and eggplants you know...
Since it was such a ridiculous phrase, I carelessly pay no attention to it.
