Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

Coming back from the village of Mito to the city of Atlatia, that night.

I was at a dining room and tavern called "Sleeping Deer Pavilion" and had dinner with three of my friends.

This sleeping deer pavilion is an inn upstairs with three satsuki people as its base of activity, he said.

It was convenient to communicate with my colleagues, and I didn't feel particularly dissatisfied with the price, service, etc., so I decided to use it as a base of activities, just like them.

Accommodation costs two and a half silver coins for one night in the cheapest private room with breakfast.

The private rooms are small to the extreme and there is only one costume box in addition to the bed in a minimal amenity environment, but adding that is reasonable enough, so I have no complaints.

Note that a single piece of silver coin is worth a tenth of a single piece of gold coin.

So if you stay in this inn for four days, you will lose one gold coin.

As for the usual cost of living, in addition to this, I need minimal funds to procure lunch and dinner, and would do about a little shopping or some luxury.

Therefore, the cost of living in a day should be expected to be slightly higher, ranging from four to five silver coins.

If you think at your leisure, you should assume that one piece of gold will be gone in two days.

The dinner set that is now lined up in front of me was also ordered by paying for seven pieces of copper coins.

A piece of copper will be worth a tenth of a piece of silver coin, but at this price, the bread comes with butter, beef stew and accompanying salad, plus cut oranges for dessert.

It's not particularly a sumptuous meal, but it has a healthy and reasonably satisfying taste and quantity, and it's reasonably priced enough.

Now, the living environment surrounding the adventurer and the associated cost of living will be more or less like that.

In such an environment, how much was the reward for completing the quest to exorcise goblins?

This is twenty gold coins combined with the advance, so the amount I received will be five gold coins distributed evenly among the four of us.

It should be noted that we have not done anything to move the specific gravity of the remuneration according to the degree of activity, and we do not believe that we should do so.

No one can make such a thing satisfactory rules, because if it is, it can only be the seed of a party.

We have trouble being pursued for the benefit of individuals in jobs that require help, and I think it would be better for each other not to introduce results-based doctrine or something like that there.

That's why five pieces of gold coins is the amount of reward an individual receives, but the truth is that this cannot be described as a sufficiently satisfactory amount on the adventurer's side of the subjectivity.

It may also seem like less because daily workers get one gold coin for a day's work, while they get five gold coins for two round-trip days of work.

But if you add the burden and risk of having the expenses you need, of risking your life, of not getting paid if you can't accomplish your quest, you can certainly never even say enough.

In other words, an F-rank runaway adventurer is one of the lowest professions in society in terms of income.

The Adventurer would therefore like to increase the Adventurer Rank in order to get out of this rushing position as soon as possible.

The higher-ranking quest yields significantly better rewards instead of more danger.

Now, how can I improve my Adventurer Rank?

In order to advance from the F-rank to the E-rank, you must complete three quests of the appropriate rank.

There are a lot of detailed rules about what is an "appropriate rank quest," but first of all, with regard to this Goblin exorcism, that applies.

So this counts for once.

I have two more quests to complete, and I can go up to the E-rank.

By the way, Satsuki, Cyril and Mi said they were doing a quest once at a threesome party before they met me.

So they can go up to the E-rank with one more quest.

For the record, the daily allowance for court magicians and college professors is quite high.

Depending on the size and position of the person in office, the daily allowances generally range from five to ten gold coins.

If a steady fixed-term job is promised in time and there is less danger to you, I see, the "normal" that my parents and college friends used to say is not quite a convincing story.

But I dared to choose the adventurer's path after knowing it too.

Based on the income disadvantage, the danger to my life, I decided to continue along this path.

I have no regrets about it, and it is another fact that I still find the profession of freedom and dreamy adventurer a strong attraction.

Slow down, I want to be a B-rank adventurer, or more, and establish myself as one in this world.

That is my dream and a realistic goal for the future.

"─ Whatever, the first goal is to reimburse parents for their tuition and alimony."

I shrugged my stew with a wooden spoon and carried it to my mouth, while I was talking to myself.

It was a challenge for the immediate future that I imposed on myself.

"Mm, repayment? Is Will in debt or something? Doesn't really look that way though."

Satsuki, who was eating at the table with me, asks as she rinses the pasta in the cream sauce.

The sleeping deer pavilion is just at dinner and is crowded with gay guests.

Occupying one of those four-man tables, I was dining with three people.

"Well, when it comes to debt, it's debt. It's a debt from parents."

That's what I'll say to Satsuki.

It wouldn't be particularly hidden.

"Hmm, I owe my parents money. How much?"

"Approximately, 700 gold coins"

"Blah!"

Satsuki sprayed pasta.

"Ho ho, ho ho... mi, water..."

"Yes, Satsuki"

"Sa, Thankyou. Ngu, Ngu... ha"

Satsuki drinks the water given to him by Mi and calms down.

And she's a busy daughter.

"Seven hundred gold coins... what the hell did you spend on that kind of money? Did you suck at gambling?

"No. Approximately four hundred and fifty gold coins for four years tuition and admission fees and more at the School of Magic. Plus the cost of living after two years of adulthood, roughly two hundred and fifty gold coins. A total of 700 gold coins."

When I answer that, Satsuki blinks his eyes.

"What. Didn't my parents pay me for school fees or something?

Well, there's a lot going on around here.

"Heh. It's unusual for you to cloud your words."

Cyril, who was trying to carry the salad to his mouth with a fork, makes that point.

I notice when they say it.

I see, I do seem to have clouded my words.

"... it's not a problem to talk about. It's just a personal story, it's not funny to hear."

Reply like an excuse.

It was myself who decided to return tuition and adult living expenses.

My parents didn't tell me to do that.

"... maybe he just wants to return the 'borrowing'"

"Mm, what? Did I say something, Will?

"... no, we're talking about this one"

I shake my neck to the side to answer the satsuki who asks me as I rinse the pasta.

I used the word "gracious" when I told my college friends, but I probably just don't want to leave "borrowed".

I thank my mother, but when it comes to my father, it's hard to say that I honestly respect him.

That parent raised me, took care of me, and now I have one.

He wants to write that off, and he's probably trying to pay back his "borrowing".

Then we'll talk about everything up to childhood, but even if we think about it, we'll talk about the next stage.

Either way, first of all, 700 gold coins.

I set it as my immediate goal.

It's just - - I was earning money just from running an adventurer, not knowing when this goal will be saved.

"─ Do you want to do an 'inside job'?"

That's how I snapped and hit the orange for dessert.
