Manowa Chapter 7

Let’s register!

Editor: Dre

“Well, I’ll think of it as the cost of a spear.”

“Sorry, I’m penniless.”

Since there are a lot of people pa.s.sing by, and Kazane's figure who only wears tank top and shorts attract people’s attentions, they decided to buy clothes before coming to the adventurers guild.

After coming to the market, the first thing they bought was an upper part of clothes made from leather that covers until the b.u.t.tocks, along with a leather belt from a second hand shop.

“If only we have brought some materials, we might be able to get something better.”

The Goblins' weapons disappeared with the explosion. Raider dog’s fur can be sold, but considering Mondorie's condition, they left them alone and return to the town. She also doesn’t have anything that can be exchanged with money, that’s why Kazane becomes broke.

Though, actually the spear that has become Yumika's equipment is worth a lot of money, and it still won’t balance out with only one piece of clothes…

“Welcome, miss. Do you want to put on a request?”

They were asked as soon as they entered the adventurer guild and reached the reception desk.

“No. We are... no, I mean she wants to register to become a guild member. Is that alright?”

“Ah, so you want to become an adventurer. I am really sorry. You don’t look the part.”

(Well, she looks like a merchant in various ways…)

Yumika thought as she saw Kazane. The sword beside her waist could not be seen from the counter.

“Then, only registering? Well, anyone can register, but will you really be alright?”

The reception lady looks worriedly at Kazane.

Even when compared with girls of similar age, Kazane's figure is small. Moreover the people in this world have bigger stature than j.a.panese people, so from their perspective, Kazane will be seen as a kid around 10 years old.

“First of all I have experience in defeating Goblins and Raider Dogs, with that there’s no problem right?”

“Hee… Ah. Your sword does seems quite good. I see, I see.”

From the counter that reception lady looks at Kazane’s weapon and nods.

“Well, that’s fine. I’ll give you the necessary form. But miss, can you read and write?”

Rather than verifying because of her age, this question was more because the literacy rate in this world is low. Though the church opened Sunday Schools, the number of kids who can leave their home is limited, and when they reach a certain age, there’s a tendency where the kids put priority on helping their parents.

“Ermmm. Yes, I think I can.”

Kazane answers while looking at the form reception that the lady brought out.

She doesn’t know the reason, but she can understands this world alphabet and words as if it were in j.a.panese.

“Here, there, Ka-za-ne…then”

Name Kazane Yuihama. Occupation, for now I’ll leave it as adventurer. There’re some other matters that need confirmations, but all in all it doesn’t take a lot of time.

“Yup. Is this fine?”
“Yes. There’s no issue.”

Then as the reception lady chants a spell, the form turned into a card.

(Wow…Magic…)

Kazane saw that spectacle with a surprised gaze.

“With this, the registration is completed. The record is…all right. Oh, you are already level 15. It seems like there’s no problem.”

The lady opens the register and verified it. It seems that what was written in the form, as it turned into a card, will also be copied to the register.”

“Well then, this card is pretty pricey so don’t lose it. To reissue is possible but it will cost a lot of money.”

“Yes. Is the first one fine with this much?”

“Well it’s also for the guild's own good. Since we will gain too if you work diligently.”

“I see.”

Kazane accepted the card and view it with curious gaze.

“Later it can also be used in other adventurer guilds, in that case please don’t forget to return to the adventurer guild once and correct the record first. Also, if it was to be used for crime acts you’ll be suspended, so please be careful.”

“Even after we did a crime, it won’t be erased?”

“Yes, since basically adventurers' specialty is fighting. That’s why they are often being caught into it. Because of various reasons. But if we erase their registration, and they degraded into bandits, we will also in trouble. That’s why we make an agreement so they just need to pay fine.”

“I see.”

“That’s why, you also need to be careful, miss. Well I can’t see you as that type of person though.”

“I understand. I’ll be careful.”

“Yeah please do. Ah, that’s right. My name if Pran Prout. I usually did the reception, and I hope we can work together in the future.”

“Yes, please take care of me.”

“With this, at least one problem is solved.”

“Yup. Thanks to you.”
Returning to the plaza from the guild, Yumika and Kazane sits down on an installed stone pedestal and they took a short rest.

“I have also cleared my first quest and received 300 kirigia.”

Since Kazane doesn’t understand the value of the currency here, she doesn’t react, though seeing Yumika’s happy expression she sort of understand that it was quite a lot of money.

“By the way, who is the client who put that request?”

Against Kazane’s question, Yumika smiles wryly.

“I’ve asked but they said that they don’t know. It seems like the reward was paid in advance.”

“Unknown clients are dangerous.”

“It’s because the content is only to pick the floating stones. As far as the content is concerned, isn't it a safe request?”

Well, it’s indeed unusual though, Yumika said with a low voice.

“Then, there’s no clue right? I thought it will trigger after the event once we completed the request, but it seems like there’s none.”

“Nothing. As I thought, perhaps that ruin is the one that is special.”

“That so? Well if there’s nothing then perhaps we can do as we like.”

While saying like that, Kazane looks at Yumika.

“By the way Yumika, may I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

While feeling somewhat tense, Kazane opens her mouth.

“What will Yumika do after this?”

“Eh?”

Since she doesn’t quite get what Kazane is trying to say, she asked back.

“Look, you have received a.s.sistance from the inn in this town, right?”

Hearing that, Yumika nods while saying ‘yeah’.

“Well, though I said 'received a.s.sistance', I feel more like taking advantage of their good will. I feel like I need to start thinking of another way. I think if we can go on adventures together, it’ll be like dreams come true.”

Against Yumika’s bright reply, Kazane take a short breath and reply with ‘thank you’.

Actually Kazane has decided on things that she will do. Even if she has determination to work hard as adventurer even if she’s alone, the feeling of wanting to do it together with her close friends is even stronger.

“Then, what will Kazane do? You’ll do some adventure?”
Hearing that Kazane gives a big nod.

“Since we don’t know when a quest like the Signa ruin quest will appear after this, so for now I think I will work hard acc.u.mulating experiences and earnings for a living in this town’s guild. Since somehow, I also have the power to steal monsters' skills, I want cultivate it too.”

“Ah, I see. Even if troubles increased, it’s not something that can’t be solved.”
“Then after we gather enough information about this world, then we can decide…or so I thought. What do you think?”

Yumika nods without hesitation.

With this Kazane's and Yumika's adventures, finally approach its beginning.

Kazane    : Actually leaving Yumika in the town is also a possible route.

Yumika    : Since it’ll reduce my appearance time, I refuse!

Kazane    : By the way, about the currency rate, 1 Kirigia is around 100 yen right? (TL note: around $0.8)

Yumika    : Yup. Well, since everything has different value so it’s not unconditionally the same, but more or less like that.
