Chapter 027: Stalker and Walking a Beast Mount
They returned to the original topic. According to Laetitia, Gradius went to plea to the stubborn Agricola frequently. He was back at the inn for now.
Gradius was the only one who went so the other party members were free; so they decided to take a request at the guild.
“So since I’ll be at Loire for a while, do you want to take a request together? Is what I’ve come to ask you.”
“You mean join your party?”
“Kirch said, yes, if we’re compatible, I don’t mind if you say with us forever.”
“Thanks for the proposal but .”
“What you being formal for?” Laetitia poked his cheeks and he smiled wryly.
“Because I’m a trainee.”
“In age only, you know.”
“I want to continue with rank 10 requests.”
“Why?”
“Because no one takes them and they’ve piled up. And it’s a lot of fun.”
“Pfft.”
Laetitia put a hand to her chin and pondered.
“It seems like the guild staff do the requests if it piles up too much, but it’s difficult because there’s so many.”
“Well they force people to take the requests too.”
“That case applies to adventurers who receive a penalty from the guild. But receiving a penalty means .”
“That they do bad deeds, right?”
It was also troubling for the requester too if they got an adventurer with a bad attitude. Shiu wanted to avoid having a bad reputation at the guild. The staff of the guild were taking the requests but they just couldn’t keep up.
“But, you don’t need to take them do you Shiu? There are plenty of rank 10 people aren’t there?”
“Yes. But there’s hardly any good jobs out there that don’t require one to stake their life.”
” That’s not something an adventurer says.”
Right. Shiu agreed. But life was important.
“At least I’ll be a trainee until I become an adult, so I thought of taking it easy. I also want to save money, but that’s for my retirement. So it won’t be too late to start saving once I become an adult.”
” Retirement!”
“One of the reasons why I want to be an adventurer is to travel, but the other reason is so that I can save for an early retirement. The geezer was also an adventurer when he was young and retired early. After that he travelled a lot and had fun. Then he became a woodcutter.”
Laetitia looked up at the ceiling, put a hand to her face and looked amazed.
But the geezer had ordered him, Don’t be wasteful and save money as quickly as possible. Shiu also agreed with him. The geezer probably thought of something when he saw the life of his fellow adventurers. For Shiu, it was a reflection of his previous life.
He didn’t recall wasting money in his previous life but since he was hospitalised a lot, he didn’t have any savings. It was already too late, even if he regretted not saving more when he was younger.
