“This is the Terrian Merchant Guild! ”
I can give you the location, but Visel said he'd show you the way, and he brought me to the Terrian Merchant Guild.
“It's bigger than I thought. ”
I could see the size of the Merchant Guild was considerably different from the size of small towns. This is enough to feed a ruined old hometown.
“Hmm? It's not that big. This could be the Medium Merchant Guild. ”
“… is that so? ”
I was surprised to hear from Visel again.
This is only the size of a small and medium-scale merchant.
‘Good job on the quest. ’
I wouldn't have known otherwise.
I once again felt the need to experience how the world works.
The world doesn't live alone.
“Come on, let's go! ”
Vissel leads the way, opening the Terrian Merchant Guild building door. Following that, we entered the building and saw boxes of goods, whether they were merchants or workers, and the workers were busy moving.
While I was wandering around in wonder, Visel tapped my shoulder.
“Kaiyan! Say hello. This is Jansen, owner of the Terrian Merchant Guild. ”
Jansen's introduction was the first person to notice a rich beard.
“Greetings. My name is Kaiyan. ”
“Haha, good to see you. I am Jansen Gebanak, who was introduced by Mr. Bissel. Feel free to call me Jansen. ”
‘That's the impression Jeff told me to be careful. ’
I felt a sense of otherness in Jansen's smiling face, whether it was for belief or not.
Something with a mouth to smile at, but no eyes to smile at. He's on the watch list that Jeff told me about.
‘Let's be careful just in case. ’
“Mr. Visel, what brings you here from tomorrow? Let me know if you need my help. ”
“Haha, I'm grateful, but I'm not. Kaiyan said he wanted to participate in the quest. ”
“On the quest? Well... I don't care if you're a graded person... ”
As I said that, Jansen glanced up and down with a smile on his face. as if you don't deserve it. "
“Then that's fine! Kaiyan is a Class B mercenary! ”
“Yes? You mean Class B? ”
The smile breaks for the first time on Jansen's face.
However, it was not long ago, and Jansen, who recovered his face quickly, smiled brightly and looked at me.
“Oh, excuse me! Mr. Kaiyan, thank you for participating in the quest! ”
“No. I'm a mercenary. I just found a quest that pays off. ”
“Hahaha! Don't worry about the quest money! I've already told the mercenaries, but if the quest is successful, I'll give you plenty. ”
After that, it's been four years. You signed a contract with Jansen's guidance and received one gold advance.
“Haha! What do you think? There's no quest for 1 gold in advance! Of course, you're a class B mercenary. ”
I didn't know if it was small or large because it was my first quest, but according to Bissel's reaction, it doesn't look like much money. You need to bring a full set of Goblin ears from the battlefield if you have 1 gold.
As Jansen escorted him out of the building, he opened his mouth with a smile.
“Kaiyan, do you have a place to stay? We're supposed to be in Vratan territory one day. ”
“I haven't decided yet. ”
“Really? Why don't you head over to our mercenary camp?" I'll greet my colleagues who will work with me in advance. ”
“Hmm……. ”
I was going to look around the city for the rest of my time, but I heard that Vissel's suggestion didn't sound too bad.
“I'll do that. ”
Most of all, I wondered how the other mercenaries were doing.
After escaping the central square to the outskirts following Vissel's directions, the outskirts were quite old buildings, unlike the centre. Buildings that feel like home.
“That's not all cities are. ”
“Hmm? Kaiyan, what is it? ”
“I thought everyone in the city lived well. But……. ”
Various people passing by.
The clothes they're wearing are worn out over time. There's no room on his face and his expression is more like an expressionless face.
Seeing them moving around in quick steps about what was so busy, I broke the illusion of the city I had learned from books.
“Haha! What did I say?! Isn't that obvious? Even if you go to the capital, there is a Slum. ”
“Is that so?”
“Hmm? Are you... new to the city? ”
“Yes, I've never been to a city before. Before that, I lived in a small village. ”
Vicel looked surprised at my answer. I wonder if there really is a hick like this.
“Huh, you've lived a frustrating life. I mean, I'm too old for that. ”
Then I nodded twice as if I had convinced him to look at my face.
“Then I'll tell you a story that goes on in the world. ”
‘No, you don't have to. ’
Bissel stops walking as he makes his wish to refuse.
“Oh no! Haha! Here we are.”
Vissel pointed to the building behind him and confidently said.
“... Goblin dew? ”
The name on the sign is Goblin Dew. Who built it...
“Big! You can read, can't you? The name of the store is weird, but the food is amazing, so look forward to it! ”
“Oh, yes……. ”
I took an uncomfortable step and followed Vissel into the store.
Yuck.
That's better than I thought. ’
The inside of the store is neat, as opposed to worrying. The kind of tavern I used to imagine.
A handful of people, sitting at a few tables in the store, look up at us and raise their hands.
“Hey, Bissel! What are you doing walking around like that? ”
“It's me, from the mercenary office! I was wondering if there was any other information! ”
The person who was friendly with Visel was downright comforting enough to remind him of a little care.
He looked at me next to Visel and made a questionable eye.
“Hmm? What's with the kid? ”
“Hey, Barnson! Kid! To someone who's going to be our partner! ”
“Colleague?”
“Kaiyan, these are my colleagues! Say hello!"
In Bishop's words, not only did the man named Barneson, but everyone who was sitting at the table looked at me.
It's quite a burden to experience for the first time.
“Greetings. I'm Kaiyan, who has joined the Terrian Merchant Guild this time." A mercenary like you. ”
“Oh, you look young. A mercenary? However, even though the Terrian Mercenary Guild quest is for Class D... ”
A blurry barnson.
I understand. My young face won't believe it.
“Haha! Don't worry! Kaiyan, this guy is a Class B mercenary! ”
“What? Class B? You're not lying? ”
“Why would Class B follow Visel? ”
“What's that supposed to mean? Why don't you follow me? ”
As Visel revealed my mercenary status, I heard a loud commotion about whether the quiet people were shocking.
‘They're funny people. ’
“By the way, did you say Kaiyan? Nice to meet you! I'm Barneson! You have a higher rank of mercenaries than me, hahaha! ”
“Yes, nice to meet you. Mr. Barnson.”
“Hey! I'm Barry! ”
“I'm Katina! Call her whatever you want! ”
One by one, he asked me to shake his hand, revealing his name.
I don't know if mercenaries are usually like this, but I think I know why they're colleagues with Visel.
“Sit here! Kaiyan, do you drink a little? ”
Barneson grabs my hand, puts me in a chair, and puts a wooden barrel full of beer on the table.
“Alcohol... I've never tried it. ”
“Then you can't call yourself a mercenary! Mercenaries need to be good at drinking! ”
‘Where have I heard this before? ’
It reminded me of what Jeff said.
Jeff used to sing about wanting a drink.
‘How's Jeff doing? ’
Once I had a memory in my head, I had a lot of thoughts with a feeling of shame.
Do you think they met an old knight? If we meet, we'll get the reward we promised. Did the old knight succeed in saving Tarien? Did he die in his residence, too?
Useless nonsense.
“What are you doing, Kaiyan! Don't drink! ”
“Huh? Oh, yeah. Hmm? You mean this? ”
What Barneson pointed to was a keg full of beer that he thought was a keg.
“This... isn't a barrel? ”
“What are you talking about! It's actually a drink! ”
Not only did Barneson prove that what he said was true, everyone was holding a barrel in one hand. Like it's natural.
“H-let's drink. ”
“Phew! Your first drink is a shot! ”
“One shot!”
“Let's drink!”
I took a huge cup and put it in my mouth.
I've never had a drink. What was the taste of the liquor I just heard?
Is it the taste that sweetness and spills out people as usual?
Whip, whip.
The beer that did not enter my mouth fell into my clothes, but I drank it all the way to the end without caring.
Percussion!
‘... What a taste. ’
“What is it? Kaiyan, you really drank it all! ”
“Wow, how did you drink all that? Only Barneson can do that. ”
When I was deeply immersed in the mysterious taste, people who drank alcohol looked at my cup and my face alternately with surprised eyes.
Percussion!
“Khhh! What? Kaiyan, I didn't see him like that! One more drink! ”
Barneson, who lowered his glass a little later than me, looked at my glass and was pleased and ordered more.
The original plan was to talk slowly to them and gather information about the mercenaries and the world.
‘You're early. ’
Given the heat rising and their attitude, it seems wrong.
“Ha, let's drink. ”
I'm gonna learn how to drink like this today.
Busy people early in the morning. The Terrian Merchant Guild building is crowded.
It's because today is the day we leave the Terrian Merchant Guild.
Watching him from a short distance, Bissel opened his mouth, holding his stomach with an awkward skeleton.
“Khh... aren't you tired, Kaiyan? ”
“Hmm... It's not that hard. ”
“You're a monster, too... I drank like that yesterday. ”
Following Visel looking behind him, he looked back, where people, including the man who drank yesterday's alcohol, were lying on their wagons with an awkward face.
It's worth it. How many times did you empty that big beer?
Rather, it looks difficult, but I'm surprised that Bissel is standing on two legs.
‘Good thing I sold hangover reliever at the store. ’
If it wasn't for the store, I'd probably be lying there, too.
Thanks to this, I could once again feel that there was nothing for sale in the store. A hangover suppressant that kills alcohol in an instant. What a ridiculous item.
“Looks like you're about to leave. ”
“I see.”
Like Vissel said, all the luggage that was piled up on the front floor of the building was loaded on the wagon.
As Visel goes to wake up his hangover companions, Jansen, who spoke yesterday, approaches me.
“Good night, Mr. Kaiyan! ”
“Yes, I'm fine. ”
“Haha! I guess they're not. Oh, don't take this the wrong way. ”
Jansen smiles, pointing at Barneson's group, one by one, with a smudged look on his face.
What's a bit strange is that Jansen's face doesn't seem malicious, but he seems strangely dismissive.
‘Well, maybe. Those are the mercenaries we signed. ’
“I hope you'll take good care of me in the future. ”
“Yes.”
At last, Jansen boards a fairly luxurious wagon in the middle.
The merchant who saw him getting on the wagon opened his mouth as he was leading the workers.
“Here we go! ”
‘Here we go. ’
Although the direction was the same, I couldn't help but get excited because it was my first quest.
What can I experience and learn while going home? How to get stronger? Or how to live a flexible life? How else do you make money?
‘Whatever it is, it's not a bad experience. ’
The sound of people was becoming more and more busy, whether the start was really imminent or not.
“This is the Terrian Merchant Guild! ”
I can give you the location, but Visel said he'd show you the way, and he brought me to the Terrian Merchant Guild.
“It's bigger than I thought. ”
I could see the size of the Merchant Guild was considerably different from the size of small towns. This is enough to feed a ruined old hometown.
