The Man Picked up by the Gods

Well, they're also joint with F.G. Rank Adventurers.

"Yes! Thank you for your help yesterday!

'Thank you for your help!

Everyone summed up after the first woman I've spoken to, and I bowed my head, so I'm looking at this one with what's going on around me. Don't look at me, can't you? There are countless slimes around me that have assisted with the work, and they occupy a corner of the waiting area, so just being there is pretty noticeable.

"Eh, what's this..."

I can predict why, but my attitude is quite different from yesterday's.

"I wanted to thank you for your help and apologize for your attitude yesterday"

"Thank you for taking the time to do that, and I'm glad you're safe there. My name is Lyoma Takebayashi. This way, as you can see, the submissive slimes."

This is the third time I've seen them face to face, but I don't even know their names. He called me back nervously when I named him because he seemed to be thanking me.

Surprisingly here they are.

The boys.

Beck, 13, of the Little Monkey Nation.

Ruth, 12, of the Dog Nation.

Wist, 11, of the Great Ape Nation.

The girl.

Malta, 12, of Half Elves.

Finia, 12, of Half Dwarf.

Loomir, 12, of the Dog Nation.

I thought it was two Beasts and four People, but it seemed different.

The two halves are a whole lot of people on the outside, and they're confusing the Big Apes and the Little Apes!

By the way, Beck the Little Monkey Clan is that most commonly spoken tallest guy. Unfortunately, he only looked like a busy kid with height and a rambling tone, but he was trying to take the initiative and stand on the arrow because he was an elderly man.

Then Wist of the Great Ape Nation is the youngest but the biggest body. I thought he was the oldest.

"And the adult said that height is a racial problem..."

Besides, this kid has the kind of personality that paints a picture of weakness. When I asked him because he had a slightly different impression from when he was standing like a wall yesterday, he was squeezing his strength so that he couldn't lick him during his work as an adventurer, especially yesterday. If you stand silent and firm, you may feel intimidated at the rate of the year.

The Great Apes and the Little Apes. When I hear it and look at it again, I don't feel like gorillas and kinsikou anyhow... that's what the color of my hair looks like especially. I don't put it in my mouth because it's rude, but when I realized it, it just seemed so.

Let's just put that aside...

They are all but children, but excel in physical abilities and magic in the properties of each species.

Ruth and Loomir say they have a keen sense of smell and well-balanced physical abilities that characterize the canine family, and Malta, the half-elf, is good at magic. Beck the Little Monkey Clan climbed the trees there lightly and without bitterness, and Wist the Great Monkey Clan and Finia the Half Dwarf shook my hand with surprising force for the child to actually let me see.

It is interesting to compare the characteristics of the species in this way. But...

"Wow, I know how good you are with your physical abilities"

"Not great, sir."

"Me, me, I've never lost my strength to a child like you, brother."

"I saw it... the two of them lost, but there's so much more to it than an adult adventurer if it's just" power ”. We became adventurers to use those strengths to make money. But even if I could move more than an adult, I would make more money than an adult, so I said that because Lyoma, who looks younger than us, is better than us. I'm so sorry."

It would naturally be advantageous if you were physically competent, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can work alone. There are many things you have to do to find the prey you want, the points you want, and the choices you make in a single hunt. But they don't have that kind of technology yet. I'm inexperienced.

"I've told you before that I've been fooled, but I don't care. But there are a few things that bother me."

"Ask me anything. I'm not hiding anything anymore."

Then let me not hesitate to ask.

"I was feeding on the slime and I happened to pick up the fallen metal slime, so I noticed the noise over there. But why are you guys here?

I guess the guys brought me in, but it was only lunchtime then. Their expression clouds when they think that if they are in the square, they are likely to ask for help.

"The body of the Warcraft that we gave away from Lyoma's squad could not be transported once."

"Not enough bags, sir."

Finia added to Beck's explanation. If you ask me, they could have been a little more to carry out on their own. The item box (space magic) is probably unavailable.

"You went to get an array and got tangled up"

"I think I got tangled up one day without it. Yesterday was the second time they got involved."

Seeking a detailed explanation for Roomir's words, the six looked a little remorseful.

"We all went into the North Forest last week on a request to collect herbs, because those guys were working there too, and they started yelling at me that the prey had escaped because we were close. Maybe that's when they put their eyes on me."

"Were you okay?

"We were doing the same thing then, and I wanted to avoid getting into fights. Besides, I paid for it because it wasn't an unscrupulous request like yesterday. That satch took me by chance and told me all kinds of things about how much I would lose if the food I used for the trap was wasted, or that the penalty for the request was more or less this much... I didn't know it was one of them. Now that I think about it, I guess we've been having a meeting since the beginning."

You said you pretended to arbitrate and rolled up the money.

"But it would be a terrible tear to divide the number of adults into one..."

"He said yesterday that even if we make less money, it will cost us a night of alcohol..."

You didn't mind with the small money, or were you collecting it from other people? Well, the guild will find out about those guys. More than that.

"Next question… so far, I hear you guys can hunt somewhat."

At least I saw that if it was about a cave bat or a small rat, I could take it down. With that said, six people affirm my words.

"Then why are you imitating people like they steal their prey?

"... because I thought it would make more money."

"We used to crusade normally at first, too. But it takes time. One of these days I see adult adventurers throw away their prey... I'm so sorry."

Maria bows her head again, but that's not what I want to hear.

"It was a bad way to ask. I want to ask you why you need so much money. You couldn't stand the bitterness of life, or was there any other reason?"

"Life was painful, too, but to pay residential taxes."

An unexpected word came out of Ruth's mouth.

"Resident tax. For once I ask, it's the tax you pay for the city you live in, right?

"What else do you have? If you live in the city, you have to pay for it."

Residents of this world are entitled to be protected from warcraft and bandits by paying residential taxes, while at the same time being put on the cost of building the city's exterior walls, guard salaries, and much more. Living in the woods (outside the city), I have never paid, but if I were to stay in the city, I would be obliged to pay. Their words are true.

But I'm sorry. I'm surprised you guys are paying your taxes properly. I have a self.

"Excuse me. I'm not familiar with the city's resident tax. Is it that expensive? Gimru's Residence Tax."

"We pay 400 Sutes per person for Gimru's resident taxes. I don't know because I've never lived in another city, but I have to pay for what I thought was expensive. If you don't pay, you won't be able to live in the city."

2,400 suits for 6 people. I could pay you right away, but they seem to have a critical life. It would be a lot of money for them.

"But how have you ever paid for it?

I don't know if they have parents, but if they lived in the city, they would have paid for it some way.

"I was making money cleaning the toilet."

"... Could it be from the suction tank?

"You know. The bureau gave me money when I cleaned it. But my forehead is getting smaller and smaller, and the adults in the slums just tell me not to do it anymore. So we became adventurers."

"Oh, I see..."

I don't know, this weakness. I wasn't angry at them originally, but when I heard the story, I lost my temper to be angry.

"... hey, did I say something wrong?

"Wow, I don't know... oh, are you mad..."

Oh, he seems to be making me nervous.

"Because I'm not angry. Don't worry. Er... no remedy for that resident tax thing?

As far as I can tell, it shouldn't be an immediate deportation if you can't pay residential taxes...

"I heard there are other people who work in mines."

"Cusaisochi?... I hear if you can't pay, sometimes you can do it for free... but that's what they tell us to do when they stop paying us? I don't trust you, and we're not the only ones in trouble for losing the toilet cleaning, so I might get a glimpse out of that job.

And I can't hire kids at the mine. Someone used to decide that. No matter how strong I was, I was driven back to saying that I wouldn't break my custom because there were a lot of adults I wanted me to hire. "

This is where the sagging of the suction tank...

"I could ask you what you wanted to hear for now. Thanks."

"Ooh?

Tell the six people that sudden thanksgiving will not fall to their hearts, and tell them that the Adventurer Alliance currently manages the cleaning of the extraction tank. When I told her that there would be no salary deception, the six of them asked me seriously if it was true. Seems seriously willing to work.

Scavenger should only be cleaned if scavengers are underfed or not.
