Living as an Unemployed in Another World
Chapter 27
27 – 2. The Path of the Dagger (8)
8.
Inns are basically never closed. This is because you never know when guests will come as long as you are dealing with adventurers.
However, the working hours are almost fixed. It is the time for adventurers who wake up later than others to fill their stomachs to start the day, the time for adventurers who do not go out to work to fill their stomachs late, and the time for adventurers who survived and returned to the inn to relieve their fatigue and fill their stomachs with alcohol.
Sometimes, there are a few adventurers who open the inn door at dawn, but it’s hard to expect a proper meal at that time. If you prepare food in advance before lunch, it will cool down or lose its freshness, so you can’t afford to spend such effort for a few customers. So, if you have leftover soup after selling it, you’re on the lucky side.
Anyway, today’s evening business is roughly over. After pre-pouring the laundry into the basin, Mr. Angela and Mr. Cooper headed to bed early. Thanks to me and Celine staying up late, they also sometimes have time to bond with each other. Well, sometimes we should rest by touching each other’s skin. Of course, that doesn’t apply to me. Suddenly my eyes lit up.
The few remaining adventurers at the table are also holding empty wine glasses and making hazy faces. Damn, maybe I’m sleepy, so I’m not getting any inspiration. I was sitting at a table, enduring a yawn, peeling off the bark of a tree when a shadow suddenly approached me from the stairs.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“?”
I didn’t notice her at all until she came closer, as I couldn’t hear her footsteps at all. Thanks to that, she was a little surprised when her voice came out. I looked up and saw a woman with her unusual pink hair hanging down, dressed in daytime and leather pants, peering at me.
“…… I am cutting wood.”
“A tree?”
“Yes. I’ll cut it down, so just give me two fairy tales.”
“Huh? No, no, no, no, no. I know what to make.”
Sheesh, sharp. It was intended to secure customers naturally, but it failed. When I replied bluntly, saying that it would be nothing to see then, she immediately gave a mischievous smile.
As it were, he dragged a chair and sat next to me…… I thought it was, but why, it sat on my thighs as it is. Wait for a sec. What is this?
“Are you angry too? I’m sorry about the daytime work.”
Her bouncy butt presses against my legs with her weight. Maybe I’ve woken up, but a subtle body odor that isn’t alcohol stimulates my nose. No, let’s not do this, let’s talk. Something inside me is about to wake up and stab me in the ass.
“I did it because I was too drunk. You mistook the next room for going back to the room.”
“It could be.”
“I didn’t even know you had a body. It seems that your childhood friend is very angry.”
I adjusted my posture to enjoy the touch a little more, but I turned my head away because I couldn’t bear to ignore her last words. No? Eyes called. I shook my head. They may be friends, but strictly speaking, they are not childhood friends. Doing this to a man you think is more powerful than that.
“I see…… Anyway, let go of your anger, okay? I mean, I want to get along with you.”
…… He was a man who made good use of his strengths. I held her pelvis and pushed her as she let out a small sigh at her who was not overly fawning over her.
“…… I understand, so please come down.”
“Really? Lol.”
When I spoke in a solemn voice, she laughed like a child and then calmly came down from my thigh. It would have been a big deal. She is a woman who knows how to catch people off guard. It seems that the appearance of hooking is not familiar. As soon as I gave her permission, she took a quick look around her shop and quickly brought her chair and sat down beside me.
“I don’t know why I want to get along…… Let’s pretend I was unlucky this time.”
“Really?”
Actually, if she hadn’t been caught by Celine, she might have been fine. More than anything else, I also handed over a glass of dwarf saliva. This time, I think you can use it as teacher teacher (of course, it is a secret).
“But what are you making? Can I take a look?”
“If I told you, would you buy it?”
“Hmm, if you like it after listening to it?”
Really? After all, there is nothing like disclosure of the manufacturing process in marketing. It wasn’t for no reason that the chefs put on a dangerous fire show in front of the guests. I smeared saliva on my tongue and opened my mouth.
“Well, at this size, you can make just about anything. Model swords, axes, and types of weapons can be made simply…….”
“Yes, yes.”
“Fruits or small cups…… People who want to use it as a talisman order something like a monster.”
“Monsters too?”
“Dragon is a bit difficult to attach wings to, but naga and wolf are quite doable.”
Strange, did I talk so much? It’s the first time I’ve talked about sculpture so much to anyone other than Punta. The woman wanted to listen to me again, but this time she was subtly leaning on her shoulder. Since this was something I would never have expected from the usual hot-headed Celine, I was a bit unfamiliar with this kind of subtle skinship from a woman. No, we need to drive a wedge into this gap before it weakens.
“So, do you want to order something?”
“Sure. Umm…… If it becomes a weapon, would something like a dagger be possible? It’s about this long.”
She spread out her palm and showed me the length of about twenty centimeters. I watched her handle also describe, I asked her while fiddling with her carving knife.
“The sword is too short. Do you have a model? It’s convenient if you can see it.”
“Huh? Oh no. There is nothing real.”
“Hmm. It’s not difficult…… Let’s try our best.”
I nodded without much hesitation. If it was a dagger, it was easy to sharpen the blade straight, and there was no fear of breaking or breaking in the middle. Of course, the easiest thing to make is a masturbation tool that women secretly use at night, but I didn’t dare mention that part.
──That’s why I pierced his backside with a spear! How deep he went in and came out through his navel!
──hahahaha!
Melted into the din of chatter and chatter, as I silently engaged in cutting wood, she crossed her arms at the table and peeked at me from the side before quietly opening her mouth.
“…… How old?”
“Twenty one.”
“I see, 21…… Uh, what? Really?”
“Well, then how old do you look like?”
“Uh, eighteen…… ? I thought it was that much at most.”
I tilted my head as I looked at the woman’s genuinely flustered face. I’m sure I’ve heard this conversation before. Oh, that’s the reaction when I first arrived at the inn and asked to work here. No one believed that I was an eighteen-year-old adult. Is the old saying that you get old faster when you look at the sunlight? If I go out often, I don’t know if one day I’ll lose a leg and bald my hair like Mr. Cooper. I will continue to live here forever.
“Well, let’s assume that’s the case. What about that one?”
“Me? I am…… Twenty… ….”
“Twenty-three?”
“Twenty… ….”
“Twenty four? Twenty-five?”
“Twenty! Why are you rising? Do I look that old?”
As I kept throwing answers, the woman got her nerves and banged her table. No, she’s s*xy with her bewitching eyes, and anyone can see that she’s a mature woman, but she’s only 20 years old. To be honest, this is all embarrassing. Were they looking at each other about three years apart?
When you’re 20, you’re only three years older than Celine. I am sometimes reminded that I am not from this world whenever I get into an argument about my age. Where I lived, at twenty-five I was treated as a virgin who could have been married…… Than that
“I was your brother? But why do you keep talking nonsense?”
“Oh, no…… I didn’t know…… I only know that you are younger…….”
“Short words.”
“Yes… ….”
Well, it’s much better if you’re compliant. Somewhere, young crabs are seduced by men and told to live a comfortable life. In an instant, I took possession of the old man and took over the mental superiority, then spoke again in a solemn voice.
“Okay, let’s say aloud. I am Jin.”
“… ….”
“Oh, I won’t talk to you anymore. Find someone else.”
“Ah, sorry! Sorry! It’s Mira! My name!”
“Mummy?”
Hmm, that’s a name I’ve never heard of. I nodded and started cutting wood again. I feel like an old man cutting wood. Mira must have sensed something from my silent concentration. Mira kept changing her posture and looking at me from a different angle. Mentally ferocious.
“Your face doesn’t look like that, but Jin oppa has a mischievous side.”
“If you complain, they won’t even make it.”
“Are cold guys popular in the outskirts? I think I know something.”
“At the edge? Where did you come from Aren’t you an adventurer too?”
“Am I an adventurer? Oh no Why did you think that?”
“Footsteps.”
For a moment, Mira felt as if she had stopped breathing. I continued pushing the tree with my thumb. Square square.
“…… Footsteps?”
“Yes. You, both during the day and now, don’t show any sign at all.”
“That…… Is it that strange?”
“What? No, it’s more than weird. It’s a rogue (thief) class, isn’t it? Or where did you learn that?”
“Ah, yes. Yes! Not a thief, I am.”
“A thief, but not an adventurer? …… Where did you join the thieves? Is that a crime?”
“No! I learned all the skills I have from someone.”
“Learn? Who did you learn from? Master?”
This time, Mira’s face, which had been smiling coquettishly, was stained with bewilderment.
“Oh, oh brother, how did you know!?”
“You talked to me in your sleep while holding me during the day. I think it was Master.”
“Ah, ah…… You should never drink again…….”
Well, there are not many people who say that and stop drinking. No, a thief who should be the most sensitive than that would have been disqualified even if he was an adventurer.
“Yes…… Master. Master also gave me my name. I can’t imagine, but he was such a great person.”
“Really? …… Who is your master? Is it someone I know?”
“That… ….”
Mira took a moment to choose her words, then turned her head to one side. She was cutting wood and she couldn’t react right away. Where is she looking? The moment I cut off her trunk and lifted her head, she suddenly heard a squeal from the swing door and a figure appeared in her inn.
Uh.
Full body armor? Coming to the inn? During this night?
The all-metal armor is full of all sorts of scratches, and with the bleak night scenery in the background, it feels like a ghost…….
“It’s living mail——!”
“Kyaaah!”
The adventurers, who had been gathering in groups of threes and fives among themselves, got up from their seats and were busy gathering their weapons, and even Mira snatched the carving knife from her hand and quickly rushed into battle. But I saw that hand was shaking awkwardly in the air, and I knew all winter long that he was looking for his owner.
“Welcome…… Are you staying?”
“Hey! Jin is going to die on his own feet!”
“Idiot, get out of the way!”

No, guys. I don’t think so. That person is our guest.
Who screamed louder than that? Are you a hairy beard? You always spread rumors about me.
“Kyaaah!”
To make matters worse, even Celine, who returned after cleaning up her laundry, screamed in the kitchen. So even if it’s not. To reassure those idiots, I stared at the invisible face through the helm. If you are a person, it means to ask for something.
“… ….”
The customer in full plate armor just nodded. No, not that.
“…… Customer?”

Nodding.
I already felt the illusion that the crown of my head was becoming hollow.
Ah, making a living is hard.
