I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless Chapter 221

Chapter 221

(221) Offerings to Suzuki

Translator: Tseirp

The men Haru dragged over seemed to have really intended to steal the medicine made from Kiriri gra.s.s . Apparently, a cure for stiffening disease could sell for quite a sum in the South Continent .

That medicine was actually not only effective on stiffening disease but also petrification disease . Supposedly, they use it to treat people petrified by beasts called Basilisks that inhabit the South Continent desert .

It seemed that the thieves would be punished by the Adventurers Guild and all we got was a paltry reward .

After that, I met up with Kanon, Norn and Marina who carried the luggage and along with Carol and Haru, we headed to the inn Suzuki was staying in . I kind of recall I was told that Suzuki was staying in an inn nearby .

“That doesn’t look like an inn?”

There wasn’t an inn there but a mansion . There wasn’t even a sign for an inn .

The courtyard was s.p.a.cious, the garden was meticulously maintained and there was even a fountain .

I would have been convinced if you told me a n.o.ble lived there .

“This place is used as an a.s.sembly hall for the town leaders of this country to gather for a meeting every once a year . Apart from then, the place serves as a charter inn — ”

“But then won’t it be expensive?”

After listening to Carol’s explanation, I asked using the tone of an a.s.sistant in a mail order program .

I said it with a strange tone but Carol ignored it and replied .

“It is 30000 sense a night and 10000 sense one time entrance fee . It is three times Carol’s price . ”

“A single night is the same price as I am . ”

Carol and Haru compared the inn’s price to their own .

No no, I got the two of you for a special price from Matthias and Quince, your normal price is usually much higher .

“Kanon, how much did you pay for me?”

“You were a discount so I got you for 50 sense . ”

“Goho!?”

Marina was shocked to hear her own price .

Just what kind of price reduction happened to become 50 sense?

It seemed like it was a common for slaves to make fun of their own prices but feeling the same way as me, Norn and I drew back a little .

Letting the conversation continue any longer would be mentally taxing so I rang the doorbell .

The ringing of the doorbell could be heard at the front of the courtyard but I wondered if it would actually reach the mansion .

Just as I thought about that, the mansion door opened and an old butler appeared .

【Combat Butler Lv38】

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Combat Butler job . In the past, Sebastian, the old butler together with Oregeru, had that job too .

But are there no ordinary butlers in this world?

I thought to myself as that old butler walked over . But his speed was as though he was running .

If he was a race-walking athlete, won’t he be the best in the world?

“Do you have any business with our mansion?”

“Erm, I am acquainted with Suzuki, the person living here, so I came here to visit . I believe he will know if you say Kusunoki is here . ”

“Understood, I will let the master know so please wait here for a moment . ”

He returned to the mansion using the same speed as before .

“Those movements, he isn’t an ordinary person . ”

“Combat Butlers and Combat Maids have skill called Swift Walk . It is a skill that can achieve the same speed as running at full speed without losing breath while maintaining a walking form . ”

“Combat Maid!? There are such jobs too? How do you become one?”

“Yes . After registering with the 【Housewife Friends Society】 found throughout the country and training for three months, you will acquire the job called Housework Helper . ”

Housework Helper … is that even a job?

I kind of feel that is the same as being jobless though … Actually, it would be jobless if you’re helping with the housework at your own home but I guess it would be a job if you do housework at other people’s home .

It would be similar to a Domestic Helper .

“You will be able to acquire Maid after reaching Housework Helper Lv20 and Combat Maid after reaching Swordsman Lv20 and Maid Lv20 . ”

” … I see, that’s quite a gruelling path . Incidentally, do men become Maids too?”

“Yes . There aren’t many cases but I have heard of them before . ”

” … I see . ”

Having men called maids sounded weird to me but I guess it wasn’t strange for her .

So even guys could enter the Housewife Friends Society huh? Well, j.a.pan had househusbands too so I guess it isn’t an issue .

Nevertheless, so this is a world where there might be muscular male maids huh …?

That’s a little disgusting .

After waiting for a little while, a window on the second floor of the mansion opened and a man jumped out .

The person rolled twice before landing on his feet .

And running over while exuding an aura of handsomeness — Suzuki waved at us . “Kusunoki-kun, it’s been a long time! The same as well for Haurvatat-san, Carol-san and Marina-san . ”

“You haven’t changed at all, Suzuki . For now, could we enter instead of talking while standing?”

“Yup, sure, come in . I was just feeling lonely being all on my own . Concierge-san also don’t really speak much . ”

So he was really living on his own .

Where are his companions?

I followed Suzuki while holding my queries .

Then, I turned back .

“Marina, what are you doing? We’re going to leave you behind . ”

” … 50 … sense . ”

Marina was still absentminded from the shock of hearing her own price .

We were guided to the reception room of the mansion .

Even though it was just a reception, it was multiple times larger than the family-oriented mansion I stayed in j.a.pan .

“You sure are rolling in gold . ”

“Hahaha, you’re wrong . I kind of accepted a request . I can’t let anybody see me before the plan sets in motion so I am hiding here . Kusunoki-kun, I’m surprised you knew that I was here . ”

“That’s because I have an excellent information gatherer with me … so, that request is regarding the seizure of smuggled goods right?”

“b.u.mmer, you even know the details … where did the information leak from?”

Suzuki muttered worryingly .

I guess it would be worrying if the ident.i.ty of the undercover investigator for a smuggling job was leaked .

“There are information shops everywhere — but such information shops will never want to turn a country into their enemy so there should be a very low risk that the smugglers would get that information . ”

“So you have it — my party’s excellent investigator has spoken so I guess it will be all right?”

Suzuki seemed to relaxed a little after I said that .

“Has the excavation of the landslide already been completed?”

“To the extent to allow carriages to pa.s.s . Thanks to that, Pochi could get some rest now . ”

Pochi was the name of the Wyvern that traveled together with Suzuki . Because the path was blocked by the landslide, Pochi ferried the pedestrians across the blockage .

“Hey, Kusunoki-kun . I don’t believe you came here just to have idle chats . ”

“I’m in a hurry to get to the South Continent . Could I come along for the undercover investigation?”

” …… ”

Suzuki made a bitter face .

It seemed that it wasn’t something he could easily a.s.sent to .

But I had a trump card .

“Everyone, sorry but please leave us . ”

I requested Haru and the others and they left the room .

“Kusunoki-kun, I want to agree to your request but the more people there are for an undercover investigation, the harder it will be . Even for the undercover investigation this time, I had to slowly gain the trust of the influential underground boss in this town for over a year . If you suddenly came along, that person would not trust you — ”

“What if I have this?”

I took the item out from my item bag .

In j.a.pan, I would generally not have such an item . Because Miri was around, I converted them all into digital format .

However — this was before the data conversion and was the single book hidden below my bed .

Miri stored all our j.a.pan furniture in her dimensional storage and then transferred them to the item bag .

That book accidentally slipped in when she did that .

“This is —”

“Yup, the doujins.h.i.+ of j.a.pan’s famous pirate anime, Nyapiece . Furthermore, it is one from the famous doujins.h.i.+ circle 【Gremlin】 . I’ll offer this . ”

” … It’s the real deal … this sensation, it can’t be reproduced with the papermaking technology of this world . How long has it been … since I’ve seen j.a.panese characters . ”

Suzuki accepted the doujins.h.i.+ from me as he shed tears .

I guess he misses j.a.pan .

” … Nyapiece huh? I have not seen it for such a long time, I wonder what has happened . ”

“That ended the year before I came to this world . ”

“Eh? Erm, what happened in the final episode? Did Buffy become the Pirate King?”

“If you want to know the ending, why not look at this?”

I said as I took out the whole series of Nyapiece from my item bag .

That was also something Miri brought from j.a.pan .

Suzuki stretched his hand towards the 49th volume (I was guessing he had read until the 48th volume) but — I grabbed that hand .

“Sorry but that would have to wait until our negotiation is over . ”

“Yes, I promise to help you as much as I can . ”

Very good, the contract is established .

Incidentally, I actually wanted to give him the Nyapiece comics instead of just lending it to him .

But Sheena has become addicted to it so she would hate me if I gave it away .

… That girl, she even went to learn j.a.panese and was in the midst of reading through the whole series .
