The Human Saint Is Bored, So I Was Summoned To Another World

Heh. If you think I forgot my work back in Arles, then you're absolutely wrong.

In fact, right now, I'm trying my best to hurry towards the town.

Yep, I'm running. You know I can't ride a horse, or drive a cart pulled by a horse. I did own a car back on Earth, but of course, it'll be stupid if they have cars here. This wouldn't be a fantasy world if that does happen.

But yes, I miss my old life full of convenience…

The gate of Arles is still as imposing as ever. The guards from the town militia stand at attention like the usual. However, if they happen to question me, I'm better prepared now.

FOR I HAVE MY BRAND-NEW IDENTIFICATION PAPERS MADE!

"…"

Huh? That's strange. I thought I put it here on my coat's pocket. Let's check the other pockets then…

Damn…looks like I got a problem.

"Halt!" a soldier had already challenged me, "Your identification papers, please."

"Err…can I go back and fetch it? It seems that I forgot it on my room…" I sheepishly asked, not wishing to infuriate the guard at the gate. How I wished that Sir Osmond was around so he can help me…probably.

"You idiot!" another soldier hit his companion in the head with a helmet, "Can't you recognize this man? He's the hero of our town!"

"Huh?! This plain-looking guy is the Hero of Arles?"

"Yes. I can recognize him for his black hair." the second soldier then turned to me, "I'm sorry for my companion, sir. It seems that he didn't know of your heroic deeds."

"Ahahahaha…" I could only force an awkward laugh, "I understand that he's just doing his job faithfully. And, I'm in the wrong anyway; I forgot my identification papers back at the Holy Palatial Gardens."

"See, kid! That's how a hero should conduct himself, humble and honest." the second soldier slapped his partner at the back.

Seriously, aren't those guys overblowing what I just did? And on the other hand, is that arrogant Baroness really hated that much here for them to treat me as a hero?

This world is really stupid, as usual.

"Good day, Mister Ricardo!"

"Ah Kuro, you finally came!"

"I'm sorry it took me quite long to come back." I explained, "I happen to come across some problems back at the Holy Palatial Gardens."

"Don't worry about it Kuro." Mister Ricardo replied, "You won't be working here anymore anyway."

I froze when I heard that. Did he just say I'm fired?

"Err…Mister Ricardo, is it because it took me long that you're dismissing me?"

"Uhh…sorry kid, I can't tell you the real reason behind it." he answered, "But you have to know, I'm a very patient person. It doesn't matter if it took you quite a while as long as you're willing to work. So please be at ease that I am not dismissing you because of that."

"But…"

Man, this sucks…I mean, it's also the first time I'll be working on my own.

"However, let me tell you something." Mister Ricardo leaned closer to me as if he's about to tell a secret, "As much as I wanted you to work here, I don't like to make into my enemies the ladies back there, at the Holy Palatial Gardens."

Huh? What do you mean by that, Mister Ricardo?

"Alright, girls!" the former mercenary-turned-restauranteur then clapped his hands, "Our dear customer seemed to have drank a lot of wine. Can you please lead him outside?"

Wait, what?! Now you're telling me I'm drunk?

"Come on ladies! Let's pick up this fellow and show him the way out!"

"Yes sir!"

"HEAVE-HO!"

The pretty ladies of Holy Frills Diner wasted no time in throwing me outside their restaurant.

"!!!"

That f.u.c.k.i.n.g hurts.

Now I'm back to 'jobless' as my status once again. And I honestly don't know which one hurts the most: being thrown out, or going back to being a freeloader.

What kind of stupidity is that anyway?
