YM778.TV Chapter 9
Takami no Kago Episode 9
The next day, I went to the Adventurer’s Guild receptionist desk to confirm that I will accept the previous request, but found a strange guy . He kept walking back and forth between the request board and the receptionist desk, he also wore a slightly dirty robe that hid his face .
“Who is that person?”
After staring at this person for a while, I decided to look at their status .
******************************************
Emily [emī] Lvl . 3 Alchemist Age: 14
Endurance: 200
Strength: 35
Agility: 45
Intelligence: 90
Luck: 75
『Curse of Production Obstruction(or)Inhibition』
Effect: A curse is applied to the things produced from this individual .
Target: Herself (Manufacturing)
*******************************************
Ara, it’s a 『Curse』 .
However the job category of an Alchemist is rarely seen in the Adventurers Guild . An Alchemist is a type of job that allows them to create anything . Alchemist can make necessary [Potions] which every adventurer needs whether its to cure an abnormal state or a buff, and it’s possible for them to create accessories with special effects . Alchemists can’t make weapons or armors because that is the job of a『Blacksmith master』or just old plain 『Blacksmith』 . Alchemists are able to give weapons and armors special effects after they have been made . Needless to say, the effects you get are only slightly better than the ones you already get if they were made by a 『Blacksmith master』 .
“However, having a [Curse] that affects production quality seems to be fatal . ”
Initially an Alchemist is not a combat related job, but since that curse affects their livelihood it would help explain why they’re currently at the Adventurers Guild . But then again those with a [Curse] are rarely seen at an Adventurer’s Guild .
“Excuse me, are you an adventurer?”
“Indeed I am . Are you different?”
Emily seemed to be surprised by my response . I don’t know why she thought I wasn’t an adventurer .
“If you end up exhibiting such strange behavior in the Adventurer’s Guild, one would think you’re a suspicious person . ”
“But, might you perhaps be an adventurer from another town . ”
“I don’t look like an Adventurer since I came from another city . With that being said I probably look like a rookie adventurer . ”
Usually adventurers start “adventuring” in the place they were born in . They do this on purpose because they usually don’t get any benefits starting out in another town anyways . Also if they do their adventuring near the town they were born in most of the monsters have already been seen or heard of at least . Then in order to test their skills when they become full fledged adventurers they go to other towns and try their luck . In other words the person in front of me can’t be an adventurer from somewhere else . I decided to talk to Emily, while thinking that it has only been about 1 month since I became an adventurer .
“Oh is that so . Well I’m not technically an adventurer yet since I haven’t finished my registration yet . ”
“Really? If that’s the case then you can go register yourself at the receptionist desk, because you won’t be able to choose a request until you join . ”
I feel like an annoying person trying to tell her what to do .
“Thank you very much . Where is the registration desk ?”
“Over there by the receptionist desk . ”
I pointed over to the counter where Lily was at .
“You’ll need to pay 10 Gale [Yen] for the registration fee, so be prepared to do so . ”
“But I don’t have any money!”
Wait a minute, what kind of country-bumpkin sheltered female are you . Wait, isn’t it rude for me a person from a different world to think like this ?
“You only have to pay for the registration fee . There is no end to the people who end up registering half-heartedly, even the guild card isn’t free . ”
I think that it’s a fair price to only pay 10 yen for both registering and getting a guild card . But if you want to get your card reissued it will cost 100 yen(Gale) .
“It can’t be . Even with all the money I have on me I only have 10 yen(Gale) . ”
Don’t junior high school students carry roughly 1,000 yen on hand .
“Well, you could give up on a request if you find it impossible to complete . ”
“I, I absolutely need the money!”
“How much?”
“…15 Gold coins . ”
“Well, that’s impossible . As far as I know the only way you could get 15 gold coins fast will have to be if you were able to complete a dragon subjugation, since that is the only request with 15 gold coins as the reward . ”
“I heard that Adventurers could earn money . Its okay if I don’t earn all of the money at once!”
This girl, dreams of being an adventurer .
“Even if you compare the earnings of first-rate adventurers to average ones, they certainly make more . But, that isn’t the only reason they earn that much money . ”
Even though I have just started adventuring, my body still aches from it . The most I can make a day even with my “cheat” abilities is about 1 gold .
“B,but, I know I will . ”
“Well, in the case of killing monsters, its feasible if you claim the reward and sell off any loot you gain from killing them . ”
But I think 15 gold is too much .
“I understand . Thank you very much . ”
Emily turns and walks toward the receptionist desk looking uneasy . Is she alright ?
“This might sound unreasonable . I won’t be back here for about 10 days due to work, when I do come back I would like to make arrangements with you . ”
I faced her, and waved my hand towards Emily where she lowered her head, and I left the Adventurer’s guild . I’ll be leaving for Wereo village tomorrow . It is necessary to begin making preparations . I already made previous arrangements with Aria, in order to hasten our travelling .
