Living as an Unemployed in Another World

56 – 3. Two Adventurers (9)

9.

People need to earn money to eat and live. And to earn money, you have to work. Of course, in this world, there are those who are born with a good lineage and are not obliged to do so——or, if they are lucky enough to obtain a fortune of gold, they do not feel the need for it. Nevertheless, most human beings live their whole lives tied to labor.

Paul, an apprentice blacksmith belonging to the blacksmith’s guild in Eastside, was keenly feeling that fact these days. He believes in his body that he was pushed by his younger sister’s back saying that if you are a man, you have to learn the skill, and you come to a distant city to learn the skill. .

I know that there is no clear achievement on the road as a blacksmith, and that the basics are important, but considering that I paid two silver coins as an entrance fee when I first came here, the reality of sticking to the bellows for the past few weeks is not so much. It was not pleasant. In my heart, I want to show off the knowledge I have learned over my shoulder, beat the heated iron myself, and display my own work in a nice way, but in reality, I am in charge of all kinds of chores, and I do not allow myself to go behind the backs of artisans. Before he could learn the know-how, his finger prints were worn away.

Whenever he had time, he sat in an empty chair, looked at the passers-by, and cooled his feverish brow with the sea breeze. There was no change in that routine today. Watching seagulls soar high into the sky, I thought that even if I become a being that poops while flying, I won’t regret it too much.

At that time, someone knocked on the open guild door with the back of their hand. Smart. Well, Paul, who is the lowest among the apprentices, instinctively went out to greet the guests, even though no one had told him to. Blacksmiths thought that supplying weapons to the weapon shop was enough, and most of them were blunt when it came to human relations, so they were unkind and clumsy when they greeted customers. In that sense, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Paul, who had not yet been colored, was number one in terms of customer service, contrary to his skills.

Anyway, if the door was open, you could just come in, but he must have been quite noble, he said half-sarcastically to the visitor in his head, examining the incoming faces——soon, he opened his mouth.

Are you at most old enough to become an adult? He was not muscular like a blacksmith, but he had a certain height and physique, and his face was as pale as if women had powdered it, and his face could not be called ugly even with empty words. His attire was plain, but everything else accentuated his aura. As the young man looked around with an awkward smile, Paul realized that he had asked for a big deal.

‘Nobles! You must be a noble! Or at least he’s an unusual identity. After working for a long time, I see people like that in such a shabby place. What to do Should I wake up the old men?’

Paul bent his neck and his back even more, then rolled his head vigorously for a brief moment.

Understanding how much contempt and persecution (in his opinion) he had endured for being an ugly apprentice with no connections or experience, he thought that he had finally come to contribute to this long-established guild and raise his position. If he, the youngest son, could charm this aristocrat with words and make him sign a contract worth a fortune, instead of those who are lost in dreamland banging a hammer late at night, rising in the ranks of a small blacksmith would not be a dream either.

Then the young man opened his mouth. Paul gave meaning to every syllable of each word he spoke.

“I came to look at some weapons. Is there any place where finished items are displayed separately?”

“Of course! I, but what kind of weapon…… ?”

“A dagger. Oh, hold on.”

The young man asked for Paul’s understanding and gestured outside, and soon a woman stepped into the building. Even more than when he first met the young man, Paul felt his breath stop.

She is a mysterious woman whose age cannot be easily determined. Probably in their 20s The rugged shirts and tight leather pants that men would wear will tell you that they value activeness. It wasn’t her lady’s attire, but Paul didn’t mind it at all. The pink hair that was blown in the wind without any decorations, the purple eyes, and the detailed features were by far more beautiful than any woman he had ever met in his life.

In addition to Paul’s height and slender body, what about the bewitching atmosphere that all of that is combined with? I’m sure her beauty will be able to bring all the blunt men who have been holed up in her closet to the outside. But Paul couldn’t help but thank the goddess for the fact that he was the only one who was sane at this lucky moment. This must be something of reasonable order and justice.

“Why, what is out there?”

“No. By the way, I thought she would come to the weapon shop. This is the forge guild. Do you really need to come all the way here?”

Paul focused on the rapturous sight of her woman’s lips moving, and suddenly, hearing her words, he felt a little depressed. As she said, it is the blacksmith who makes weapons, but there are people who introduce and sell weapons to people. Contrary to the pride that blacksmiths have in themselves, people do not want to remember the name of the person who made the weapon unless the name is widely known.

No, considering that even a person who had gained fame was sleeping gritting his teeth in that small dormitory, it was not difficult for Paul to know that his life had already been decided. The fact that I was able to meet such a beauty today was just a blessing from God while passing by. Even though he swallowed tears, he focused on the conversation without backing down in front of those who must be of noble status.

“Well, if you want to buy a mediocre weapon, you can go to the weapon store. But don’t you think so? You and me too.”

“Yes, but… ….”

The woman crossed her arms and looked around her, perhaps feeling awkward in this iron-smelling space, but she still didn’t like the man’s words——no, she raised the corner of her mouth and smiled from an invisible angle. Paul was almost bewitched by that smile, but he soon decided to take the initiative first and started talking.

“You must be thinking of made-to-order.”

“Oh, yes. I’d like to see the finished product first, then entrust it to a skilled artisan. Can I see if there are any good ones?”

“Yes, of course. We have finished weapons ready for delivery, but they’re all inside. What kind are you looking for?”

“A dagger. Both pairs.”

“Okay.”

As Paul hurriedly stepped inside, Mira looked around, confirmed that it was just the two of them, and relaxed her expression slightly. In fact, she was in a very good mood from the moment she left after teasing that girl in the morning——even though there were some annoying incidents along the way——even so, after leaving the guild, she couldn’t take care of the corners of her mouth going up. Couldn’t She couldn’t help it, even though she did her best to stay unnoticed.

That’s not really a date. Mira was seized with the urge to put her arms around her again, but she decided to put up with him if he would get into trouble, knowing that he was selling her feet for herself. Above all, what if that stupid young apprentice was jealous of him and picked out a bad weapon? She looked at the side of his face, which was worth seeing again.

When I melted into the inn like a scenery, I just thought he was a comfortable person to deal with. No matter what others do, they just don’t disturb my daily life, and it seems like I always flow through my life listening to them. However, after living together again for the past few days, he was actually a strange man the more I got to know him.

Immersed in fighting all his life, he skillfully guides himself like a child in world affairs, and there are surprisingly many people who know more than he is confined to the corner of his room. Where is that? Even in the adventurer’s guild, which is full of rough guys, he didn’t feel intimidated at all.

From the moment she decided to dedicate her dagger to him, Mira promised to stay by his side for the rest of her life. He always praising his skills with embarrassing compliments, but in her eyes, Jin was never a person who deserved to end his life in a cramped inn room with the girl scolding him no matter what anyone said.

That’s why she draws a wider world with him. I want to display that extraordinary brain and amazing wit on a bigger stage and go up to a higher place together. And I hope that one day everyone will recognize and acknowledge his greatness. Her desire like that of her gradually dominates her. Since she has decided to become an adventurer, she wants to play in the big water with him if possible, but she is content with her life now and is the only one pushing her adventurer’s path. Even as she admired the face of her mummy, she couldn’t bear to hear her sigh come out.

No, it’s not just because of his stubbornness that the sigh comes out. She hurriedly left the smithy guild, killing her presence before he noticed, in order to go to ‘solve’ the problem that had been bothering her from a while ago.

She turned the corner and strode her steps down a brick alleyway. Did that erase the presence? At first, I doubted whether I even had the heart to follow, but sadly, as the paths overlapped several times, I couldn’t help but think that my guess was correct.

Soon after feeling her presence, Mira threw a stone at the back of the shadow’s head as she hurriedly ran away! Make a sound and hit. The shadow about to fall in front of her, Mira’s wooden dagger rushes at her neck in an instant.

──Elves were born lighter and agile than humans, and the same was true for half-elves, but that was only a difference on a similar level. With a bounty of over 100 gold following her mentor’s footsteps, she couldn’t fail her ambush against a mere adventurer. The half-elf hurriedly pushed the bridge of her sword at her belatedly rushing towards her neck, but Mira held her wrist with one hand to stop her from kicking and with the other hand He thrust her dagger into her neck and crushed her on her hard floor.

“You.”

A cool voice that she never uttered when she was with Jin hit her ear.

“Why did you keep following me?”

“…… That. That is.”

Half-elf Chloe smiled as she relaxed her grip on the rapier. It was a sign of surrender.
