chapter 2
Chapter 2 Earn money. That’s your job
Early the next morning, I was filling out the books in my room when I heard a knock.
Since the store has not even opened, there are no employees. There is only Azman, a slave.
“Come in.”
The door opens slowly and Azu stumbles in. She has a nice complexion.
“No, good night?”
She was wearing light armor and the clothes she had prepared. There was no black
It was as ordered.
Yesterday he was scruffy because he returned from the labyrinth, but now he’s tidy and his equipment looks a bit decent.
Looking at it this way, she looks like a full-fledged adventurer girl. Except for the bracelet on the right hand, which is the mark of a slave.
“I… master?”
“I hate to say it twice.”
I looked at the carpet as I said that.
Az immediately shut her mouth and sat down.
She looked up with a worried expression, but she kept her mouth shut as if she thought she might be scolded.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Oh, yes. It’s the first time I’ve ever had such a soft bed… I fell asleep right away.”
“I see.”
I thought she would sleep well until the day because of her accumulated fatigue, but she has quite a grit.
“I will handle this request today.”
As I said that, I handed over several copies of the request to Azu.
Az looked at it once, then she looked back and forth between me and her request form several times before she spoke cautiously.
“Master… I can’t read the text.”
“Yes, I did. In short, it means to hunt monsters while gathering herbs in a designated meadow.”
“… Yes.”
It was an answer that felt like Azu’s feelings, which she wanted to refuse but couldn’t.
It’s good that you’re compliant.
I brought an unpopular one among the Guild’s Requests.
Among them, I took on all the requests related to the grassland.
Even if it’s not popular, it’s okay if you put all the quests together.
This is not a bad amount considering the cost of living in Arzu.
She pays only a few pennies for food and clothes.
There is no need to rush. She raises Azu to be a full-fledged adventurer and earns her money. That is the greatest purpose. Herbs are incidental. Let’s hunt monsters even if we are weak.
We will spare no support until we become stronger.
“For herbs, there is a picture on the request form. Even a beginner will be able to recognize it. The problem is the monster….”
Looks at me anxiously.
If I told you that I didn’t have to go, your expression would brighten up right away. Of course I don’t mean to.
It seems that Arzu doesn’t know yet, but there is no need to worry about her request to this extent.
The sword she gave to Az is enchanted with lightweight, so she can easily wield it with her girlish power. Its power is comparable to that of an adult male.
Her armor is enchanted to protect against shock, so even if she bumps into a low-level monster, it will be enough to knock her butt off.
We prepared only good equipment.
“Good job. I put the supplies I need in this backpack, so I can use them when I need them.”
After saying that, I threw the backpack I had parked on her desk to Az.
There are potions, antidotes, dismembering knives, water, and emergency food in it.
Of course, everything was lightweight.
Finally, I gave the red necklace to Az.
“This is a magic stone. Always wear it on her body and beg her to break it if she feels life is threatened.”
It’s three gold coins, but it’s better than Azu dying. When broken, fire magic appears.
Disposable, but just as powerful.
I put a red magic stone necklace around Azu’s neck.
Looks like a jewel. Arzu was surprised, but for the first time, she put on a happy expression.
“Can I accept something this beautiful?”
“You are mine anyway. Take it because whoever has it is the same. You will need more.”
“Okay.”
Az smiled heheheh like a girl my age.
Azu is also a girl after all.
Looks like he’s relieved himself a bit. With this momentum, work hard on the request.
“Then, let’s go. You know how to read numbers. As I said before, there are also pictures in her request form. Kill as many monsters as the number written there and gather herbs. There are 4 days, so I come back every day before it gets dark. The door will close.”
“Yes….”
As I said, Arzu, who came back to reality, tried to leave her room with her backpack on her back.
Oops, I almost forgot.
“Az!”
“Yes?”
She lightly tossed two silver coins at Azu who turned around.
Azuki took her hurriedly.
Her motor skills aren’t bad either. I only picked her face, but she took a better slave than I thought.
“I can buy rice at the market with it.”
“Oh yes! Thank you!”
Az answered in the loudest voice of the day.
Did he fall for the food?
It doesn’t seem like he grew up in a good environment.
After her conversation, Az left her room.
She’s not motivated, but she’s afraid of getting scolded so she doesn’t do it casually.
Well, then it will be fine.
Now, let’s start our main business.
Even buying Azu, it’s because she spent quite a bit of her money on this and that.
It’s a tool shop, so it’s fortunate that there is no tool fee.
There are still funds left… In fact, she still doesn’t know how to do business with her slaves.
For the time being, let’s take only Arzu and watch the situation.
