I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless - Chapter 381

Chapter 381

(381) Pride of the day labourers

Translator: Tseirp

Instead, he took a book out from a box .

Pictures of two men (who were very attractive) were drawn on the book .

“Sheesh, I thought it was weird . You have been getting in my way lately but you came in search of this stupid book— So you knew that I was the culprit from the start . ”

“Of course . Or rather, those talismans – – used by Magic Journalist proved my conviction . ”

Haru looked at me with eyes that shone of admiration .

No, Haru . You should know, right?

I entered this store only because I wanted to find Milky’s book .

When I saw the Magic Journalist’s talismans, I naively thought that perhaps this dry cleaner’s job was actually Magic Journalist?

When I tried checking to know if he was a Magic Journalist,

【Demonist: LV 52】

That was when it connected . Wasn’t this the culprit? If he was the culprit, he would have people’s personal belongings entrusted to him as laundry even without having to steal them .

It would uncool and a little too late to say now that I chanced upon him .

“But you made a huge mistake . If you knew that I was the culprit, why did you pass this to me?”

The dry cleaner gripped my handkerchief and Haru’s scarf in his right hand .

Then, he plunged his left hand into his item bag .

And took out 3 gems with his left hand .

One of them was releasing a faint light .

I immediately used Gem Appraisal .

Job Stealing Gem

By saying the target’s name, you can steal the target’s job and make it your own .

The skills of the stolen job can be used as your own .

The gem will break when the person who has been stolen from dies .

Used target: Monster-User

Job stealing gem!?

Furthermore, wasn’t Monster-User the job of one of the up-and-coming adventurers who attacked us? (TLN: This job, マ物使い, is different from Elize’s job)

What was he planning to do by taking that out?

“There’s a job called Monster-User capable of sealing monsters in between books and summoning them when needed . ”

Sealing monsters within books?

There were cases of snakes flying out from a Monster-User’s chest pocket but that was probably achieved by concealing a notebook-sized book in their clothes .

“With that, something like this is possible – -“

At that instant, four golden dolls appeared from inside the book – – golems .

“These golems can only serve to delay me . ”

I said as I kicked the golems away .

“Delaying you is more than enough!”

The man said as he raised my handkerchief and Haru’s scarf .

“Invoke Curse! Frenzy Curse . ”

The two other Job Stealing Gems shattered, forming black light that floated upwards and transformed into shadows shaped like me and Haru before disappearing .

Casting two curses at the same time meant that there was no cool down time for the Invoke Curse skill?

The Substitution Doll that Haru and I had made a sound and burst .

It looked like the curse was applied .

“Substitution Dolls?”

The Demonist showed an irritated expression

“Unfortunately . We prepared Substitution Dolls knowing that we are entering a curse practitioner’s home . ”

The man headed to the rear of the room .

Was he trying to flee?

I said as I cut off the right arm of the final golem .

The path would be clear with just a little more .

The man fled to a room filled with mannequins but there was no rear exit .

He was a trapped rat .

There, another two golems were waiting for me .

“Guh, it’s the final one but there’s no other way . Invoke Curse, Frenzy Curse . ”

Another shadow appeared and formed Haru’s shape before disappearing .

“Dispel . ”

I parried the incoming golem attack with my bare hands and immediately treated Haru with Dispel .

“That was the last? That was stupid, you knew that I can treat it . ”

I commented and cut down the final golem .

“You are the clueless one . Unlike Curse arts, spells have cool down time . And Job Stealing Gems are not the only things capable of invoking curses!”

The man smiled fearlessly .

“Frenzy Curse – – Goho . ”

The blood that the Demonist spat out shone black and turned into my shape .

Shit – –

The man’s job became 【Demonist: LV 1】 .

He sacrificed his level to invoke the curse but still appeared to suffer from the effects of the curse . Haru raised her sword and rushed at the man – – but a mannequin suddenly attacked her .

Damn, that mannequin was a golem too?

“The World’s Salvation – -“

The man said .

The curse would activate – – I would turn into a Berserker .

It was the end .

“ … So?”

I gloated .

It was not my end; it was his end .

“What? How …”

The man’s expression twisted as I smiled wryly .

“Maybe this is what they call the pride of a day laborer?”

I was anxious, seriously anxious .

I was sure that the frenzy curse would activate .

But .

【When under the Job Seeking skill effect, the first job can’t be changed . 】

Such a message was displayed .

That was surprisingly dangerous .

“Day laborer … I don’t understand …”

The Demonist muttered as he collapsed .

【Ichinojo leveled up . 】

【Librarian skill: Autobiography acquired . 】

It looked like the experience points for the golems came in .

I couldn’t tell the man’s job or level when I tried Job Appraisal .

He was probably dead .

“Master, the man’s appearance!?”

Haru suddenly exclaimed .

The Demonist’s face was transforming .

Horns grew on his head and his skin turned brown .

Don’t tell me there’s a second round? As I prepared myself but it appeared to not be a transformation but instead his transformation was undone upon death .

When I investigated the Demonist’s arm, I found a unique bangle .

I checked it with Accessory Appraisal .

Transformation Bangle

A bangle capable of allowing the user to transform to whatever appearance they wish .

It is not possible to change body size .

That was an amazing item . I stored it for the time being .

After that, I applied dispel on myself to remove the curse and looked around the shop . At the back of the shop, I found a human corpse with the same face as the Demonist .

It seemed that the real dry cleaner was already murdered and he was taking on his identity .

There weren’t any other notable clues so I called the guards .

“Would this resolve everything?”

I muttered to myself .
