- Ciel point of view

The trip to the city was fast. The magic of flight that I remember all the time can travel many times faster than it goes on land, so it arrived really quickly. But even though I was speeding at full opening, I was a little hurt that Lapis, with Karin in her arms, arrived with an extra look...

Lapis came out leaving the house intact, but he didn't look particularly concerned either. You think the fields should be cultivated again, and you don't have any particular problems because you don't have livestock? It didn't seem to have any valuables in particular either, and all I took out was some pretty old currency.

I was shocked when I told her it was too old to be used now.

"Oh, you guys... didn't fly in the sky right now...?

A familiar soldier at the city's main entrance was surprised to see us descending from the sky. Hmm. After all, it feels good to be the only one using magic that no one can use. - And you shouldn't. I have to show Lapis around more than that.

"It's a magic to keep. I'd rather go inside."

"Oh...... It was."

The person-head tax is one piece of copper coin per capita. I took the number of copper coins from my nostalgia and gave them to the soldiers and stepped into the city.

"Wow..."

Lapis, who is coming behind me, is modestly surprised. I was more surprised to see that girl who had nothing to say about her emotions during her training. Nevertheless, it's really cute to see it again. Girls walking around like they can't compete, right? The old man in the stall opens his mouth to see about her, and the people on the road pass by looking back again and again. I was driven by the temptation to boast that I knew this girl.

The first place we headed was the inn. Even so, it wasn't for the purpose of staying, I just stopped by to eat. Because in the mountains I wanted to behave like a treat to Lapis, who had a meat of beasts and mountain vegetables and a diet like a hunter.

An inn named "Golden Wheat Pavilion" is a very common inn with a dining room on the ground floor and an inn on the second floor. Only a popular inn for adventurers who serve delicious meals for the cheap, and the ground floor here is always full of guests. The sound of dishes and dishes hitting, people talking, the shouting of the service interacting with the kitchen, it's usually pretty busy, but only today things were different. I just needed to be able to point my gaze at Chillari when me and Karin went inside, because as soon as Lapis came inside, the noise in the dining room quieted down all at once. I see a bunch of inflexible adventurers smothered by her tricks that confuse me that I might have done something weird.... I know how you feel, but you're a little creepy.

I don't know what to do. We sat in an empty seat in the corner of the store. Soon afterwards, we will be served with three glasses of water from the back.

"There you are, Ciel, Karin. You have cute people today."

"Sort of. What's your day off today?

"Fried fish today. How many people do you want?

"Yeah, and I'll have three desserts after dinner."

She is Rio of Salaries. She is the only daughter and billboard daughter of her father, the pawn owner of this inn. Age is the same twenty-two as me. I ponytail my brown hair and my white apron is my trademark energetic daughter. I guess she understood what this seat was like when I ordered it, which I rarely ask for dessert or anything else. He left me one wink and headed to the kitchen.

"... it's been a long time since I've been in the city, but something's changed a lot..."

Lapis is kicking ass about the hit looking unusual. There should be nothing particularly unusual because it is cheap lodging, but if you live in the back of the mountain all the time, can't you do that too?

"When did you come to the city before?

After a moment of rhetoric in my questions disguised as somehow, she continues.

"... it was quite a while ago. I wonder if you remember the exact years."

I figured - I thought maybe, but my suspicions turned to certainty. This girl is deluding her age. That's not a year or two or a short interval, either, on a decades-by-decade basis. But... why? There are not many, but not uncommon, species whose appearance remains young and whose real age is immense. With elves and dwarves? Not as long as they are, but the Beasts and Lizardmans also have a longer life span compared to humans. Lapis' appearance does not fall under any of those categories. Is there a reason to delude it around there? I'm very concerned, because we haven't gotten along enough to tell you a secret yet. I need to weigh myself.

All the dishes carried were in high quantities, but Lapis was eating them while changing the color of her eyes. She almost ate all the extra things I ordered on her own. No wonder where in that little body you get that amount. The last time I spoke of the dessert that came out, I was as happy as I had ever been, and I was so happy over here. Truth is, she's a daughter I never get tired of just watching.

"I'm already hungry. Thank you. Both of you. Give me a treat."

"I haven't been paying you back for anything like this. Lapis, I need to talk to you about what you're gonna do in the future."

It's good you pulled her out of the city, but you can't leave her alone on a boulder. I don't think it's okay to take care of her at my house for a while, but I don't think she'll ever be better off as a resident. I'm sure you'll want to be independent, so me and Karin think it's useful to find a home where Lapis can settle down and find some means of earning money.

"What kind of work does Lapis want?

"Hmmm...... I wonder if there is any particular hope. I mean, I don't know what kind of job I have right now, so I don't know what's right for me."

"Oh well. Then change your mind and find a job that fits what you can."

She's a superb wizard, but Karin tells me that sword arms are just as outrageous.

I didn't see it with this eye, but I thought you said you were going to knock the dragon out with one blow or something......

"Is that what I can do... Um, as long as it's not too special, you can use a single weapon, and magic can use attack magic of all attributes, healing magic, and then state anomaly recovery. I can read and write calculations, but I'm not as good at it as a merchant. After that... I feel confident in my arms and strength, and I think I can work hard."

…………

... You said something terrible, this girl. I thought it was amazing, but what is a wizard of all attributes? I've only heard of legendary wizards attending such an ancient brave party. Sometimes there are magic warriors, but they're mostly just people who can't help it either way. Yet this girl...

"Then... why don't we and the adventurers do it? All you have to do is take down the demons and get them to buy out the material, which will be a lot of money. Lapis will be able to afford your strength."

In fact, I think that's the best job for her. Her ability will find as many cadets as she can, but I'm worried she won't get involved in some strange factional feud because she doesn't know the world. There is a danger that it will be used in a good way. Then the adventurer is the best - I thought there was a word out of Lapis' mouth that I hadn't thought of.

"Adventurer... rather than say, is there a job you can do in the guild? For example, acceptance."

You said something weird about this girl. I can't believe I'm so strong but I hope to accept... It does look easier because it doesn't work in the same place all the time, but I think that's a tougher job than it looks. Adventurers are just bloody guys, irrational complaints and everyday tea meals. I realized that this girl could stand it - and I thought about it so much. This girl is no match for a bunch of adventurers there. It should also be possible to twist it down with strength, even if it is attributed to something. Then don't you worry?

"Isn't that good? But that's not just reception, is it? There's gonna be paperwork in there, and if you don't mind, I'll introduce you to my handout."

"I don't mind. It would help if you introduced me."

"Then it's settled. Let's head to the city's guild."

Good hurries. After we finish our meals, we go after the inn and aim for the building facing the main street of the city. There's the Adventurer Guild. The Adventurer Guild, created by Sorciere the Witch, one of the brave parties, has taken three hundred years to root throughout the continent. Thanks to the Alliance, the bloody people who can only fight are able to earn their daily income, and security is dramatically improved by letting them crusade demons. Solciere varies.

"Oh, it's not Ciel. I haven't seen it in a while, but where have you been?

"Kind of. More than that, can we meet the guild chief?

As soon as I took a step inside the guild, I knew everyone was still paying attention to Lapis here. Everyone stopped and stared at Lapis, even though he was usually fussy with adventurers looking for requests, adventurers coming to get paid, and adventurers bringing in materials. In the meantime, we proceed to the reception counter and exchange greetings with the woman who was sitting there. She is one of the receptionists in this guild, named Camille. He's certainly a veteran receptionist who turns forty this year. She was originally an adventurer, but she retired from active duty on the occasion of her marriage and chose an employee of the Alliance as a job she could raise her children. The guild basically tends to prioritize hiring former adventurers, so she could get the current job without difficulty, but what about Lapis?

"Guild leader? She's here... is that why you're the lady?

"That's the place. I'm sorry, but please take care of it."

"Okay. Okay, wait."

Camille disappeared in the back, so I decided to explain the guild to Lapis, who looked intrigued earlier.

"There's a lot of people out there."

"Right. Races and ages fall apart. But everyone is valued equally here. Depending on your strength, you can make a name for yourself, make a lot of money, and look for an officer."

"Heh... what would that say... good"

I don't know which part you liked, but Lapis is in a good mood. I am not bored to look at the requisitions affixed to the bulletin board to find out what kind of requests I have, or to look sideways at the adventurers negotiating the purchase of materials. After a while, Camille invited us back from the back.

"The guild chief says he'll see you. Go to the back."

"Thanks. Let's go, Lapis."

"Oh."

Even though it's a branch, it doesn't look frightened to meet the man at the top of the guild. That's a really big balls.

"Guild leader. I'm Ciel."

"Come in. Come in."

"Excuse me."

After the knock, when I went inside in response to the wild voice I heard from inside the room, there was a man with a visible face doing paperwork at the desk. He's the guild leader for this guild - Creek. A little over fifty years old, like Camille, who is a receptionist, she was an adventurer when she was younger. He is a sinister old man with crossed gray hair and a calm waist. Secretly a popular female adventurer.

"Ciel, it's unusual for you to ask. And even Karin. Hmmm... that beautiful lady over there is tangled?

"It is. Actually, I wanted to talk to the guild manager..."

"Let's hear it. Hang up first."

We were advised to sit by hand, and the three of us sat down. Karin is nervous, and Lapis watches what happens in silence, naturally. I'm supposed to be in charge of the negotiations, so I need to get a little carried away.

"Actually..."

When he started talking to us from our encounter with Lapis, explaining that he had a twist and a twist and pulled her out of the city and asked her here to introduce her to the job, Creek listened to us to the end, sometimes surprised and sometimes admired.

"I see, is that the situation? I certainly don't have enough people, and if you want to help me, I want to hire you right away."

"Bye -!"

Creek controls me with only his hands when I'm about to rejoice.

"Except. You can't hire a man who's not a former adventurer without exams. Adventurer Guild is only an organization to support adventurers. Lapis, I need you to take either a written or a practical exam to pass."

An exam... I don't seem to have any problems with my abilities, but I might be a little worried because I'm a daughter with all kinds of flaws in my hands and common sense. Asking just what to do, Lapis nodded as if she was motivated.

"I'll take it"

"Right. Then choose which exam you want to take. Contents include… history, demonic knowledge, and general common sense, where the writing begins with the formation of the guild. Have the practical moves meet with me with the sword. Even so, you don't have to do it until one of them falls. If I decide it's okay to be involved in a rough adventurer by myself, I'll pass."

"Well... with practical skills"

"Ho. You're a big yourself. I hope Ciel wasn't exaggerating."

Creek with a nigga and an invincible grin. If you pass this, you'll be able to secure a place to work for now! Good luck, Lapis!
