4 Episode 3 Guilds and Inns

Open the wooden door and enter the guild.

The inside of the guild is as simple and sturdy as it looks from the outside, with a wooden counter in front of the entrance that is divided into four compartments like a bank counter. The first counter on the right is larger than the others, about 3 meters wide, and is labeled as a purchase counter. The three counters on the left are not marked with anything, but they are probably doing anything other than purchasing.

Of the three compartments, the one on the left is empty, and the other two tables are occupied by women dressed in guild uniforms. Her age is around 20 years old. The woman on the left has blond hair and blue eyes, while the woman on the right is brownish-black, but also has blue eyes. The woman on the right has dark brown hair but also has blue eyes. Both of them are quite beautiful, so it's a pleasure to look at them, and it's nice to know that there doesn't seem to be a lack of dark-haired people. There is a possibility that dark eyes are rare, though.

The guild uniform (?) is designed in blue. The guild uniform (?) is a blue-based design with a white collar. It's long-sleeved and generally not revealing, but it's more neat than plain.

From the right wall to the door you just entered, there are hooks all over the wall. The walls are color-coded, and each color is labeled with a rank: G, F, E, D, C, B, A, S. G is probably the lowest rank. G is probably the lowest.

On some of the hooks, a small whiteboard-like board about 20 cm long and 30 cm wide is hung, on which the rank, request, remuneration, and remarks are written.

The writing is not as detailed as ballpoint pen writing on paper, but it can be written in some detail.

For example, it looks like this.

Rank: G

Request: Collect Zunana grass.

Reward: 30 Tel per plant.

Quantity: As many as you have.

Remarks: No need to accept. The request will be fulfilled on the spot when you bring in the Zunana grass. Collect plants of 15cm or more in length from the root. If the length is more than 10cm but less than 15cm, the price is 10tels per plant. If the length is less than that, it cannot be purchased.

Also, it is sometimes confused with the similar poisonous plant Dokuzunana, but please note that the stem of Dokuzunana is square and that of Zunana plant is round.

Is the term "cm" also used in this world? Or is it a result of my skill in translating it so that I can understand it easily? Either way, I don't mind.

I wonder if Zunana grass is not translated, or if proper nouns are not translated. But the characters that come to mind are in katakana, and the characters written in katakana are not.

If the grass is not in the original world, the translation may be half-hearted like this. In my case, the only way to identify it as Dokuzunana is to appraise it. This is if I accept the request.

It seems that there are a lot of requests from G rank to E rank, but from there, the number of requests decreases as the rank increases, and there are none from B rank and above.

If you look at the few C ranks, you'll see that they're all about Orc hordes and Gargons.

I guess there is no need for B-rank or A-rank. I don't know what Gargon is, but if Orcs are the highest rank in this town, I'm relieved to know that it's not a world where you're likely to be eaten by a dragon if you go outside the town.

That is, of course, if my image of a pig-faced, demented-looking fat giant is correct.

I took my eyes off the request board and looked to my left to see a tavern. Round tables are lined up, and around one table there are four cheap wooden chairs.

There is a counter on the far left, where a bearded man with the look of a bar owner is standing. I guess he buys drinks and food there. There were a few customers, and about five groups of two to four adventurers' parties were drinking and talking. Many of them did not seem to be of good character. The ratio of men to women is about 4:1.

The armor seems to be mainly leather armor. Weapons are hidden by the tables, and the only visible weapon is a rude large sword carried by a large man.

I couldn't find any stairs to the second floor, but I wonder if there are stairs in the staff section.

I couldn't help observing, but it would be annoying to stand at the entrance too much. At any rate, I'll go to the window directly in front of the building. The receptionist is the blonde one.

As I approach her, I think about how I should talk to her. If I just tell her what I want, the damage will be small even if I'm wrong.

"Excuse me. I'd like to register.

"Yes, registration. The registration fee will be three silver coins, is that okay?

Yes, please. Yes, please.

You take three silver coins out of your pocket and place them on the counter. I have one more silver coin left in my pocket.

"Now touch this. Touch this.

After putting the silver coins under the table, the receptionist presented me with a box made of iron or something much larger than the one I had touched at the gate when I entered the city.

When you touch it, the top of the box will display the same status as the one displayed at the gate.

Name : Kaede

Age / Race / s*x : 20 / Human / Male

Level : 2

Prize/Punishment : None

Skills : magic qualities, martial arts qualities, fire magic, earth magic, water magic

Isn't it common for magic to display STR, HP, and other statuses?

The receptionist looked at me as if she was surprised, but she quickly came to her senses and placed a silver metal plate on top of the box that looked like a guild card, about the size of a large business card.

The metal plate then glows a pale blue for a moment, and letters appear on the metal plate.

------------------------------------

maple/man/man

Rank: G

Award Punishment: None

Requisition completion history:.

Defeat history:.

------------------------------------

The guild card seems to contain only the bare minimum of information.

The request completion history, kill history, etc. are blank. Killing green dogs before is not counted.

I wonder if the history of kills will be written automatically.

I'll tell you about the guild then.

"Yes. Yes, please. Yes, please.

He's going to explain it to me. "I don't have to tell you, do I? I was wondering what I would do if he said.

"As you can see, this is the guild card. I'll start at the top. I'll start at the top.

"The first row has your name, race, and gender. The second row is your rank. G is the lowest rank, then F, E, D, and so on up to A. The highest rank is S. However, there are currently no S-rank adventurers. However, there are currently no S-rank adventurers, so the current highest rank is A. Rank advancement will be determined by the guild based on the completion of requests, demon slaying history, and other factors, but there will be an exam for D and higher ranks. You may also be demoted if you do not complete enough requests. The third level of reward and punishment is "bandit" when you do something wrong. If you do something wrong, even if it is not related to stealing, such as murder, you will be marked as a "bandit". Killing a bandit does not make you a bandit, and neither does dueling a bandit who dies as a result of a mutually agreed upon duel.

There's a duel? ....... I'm a guy too. If there is a culture that says it is shameful not to accept a duel that has been sold to you, then run away gracefully!

If you challenge someone to a duel, you must have a chance of winning. I don't want to fight a duel with such a person.

The fourth and seventh levels are automatically added when you complete a request or kill a demon. If you kill a bandit, it will also be written in your kill history. The guild card only allows you to see the last three achievements, but the guild also allows you to see more achievements. Theft

Are bandits considered demons? ....... If the guild is the only one that can check more than three, then I'll have to remember how many I've killed when requesting four or more.

I guess you could just throw the corpse into the item box and see how many you get.

Lastly, guild cards cannot be forged, so there is no way for someone to impersonate you. Lastly, it's impossible to forge guild cards, so you can't be impersonated. If you try to forge a guild card, even if it's an attempt, you will be charged with death. Guild card

Scary!

Is forging a guild card that serious a crime?

That's all I have to say about the guild card. Next, I'll explain the request. Over there is a request.

The receptionist points to a wall with what looks like a whiteboard on the right.

If you want to accept a request other than the ones marked "No need to accept" in the remarks section, bring the request board over there with your guild card and accept it. However, you can only receive requests up to your current rank, and you can only receive three requests at a time if you are G rank, but you can receive up to five requests if you are E rank or higher. Please note that if you fail to complete a request during the request period, you will be charged double the amount of the reward as a penalty. However, if there is a natural disaster or other force majeure, this will be taken into account. This is a measure to prevent adventurers from accepting unreasonable requests. Please follow the instructions on the request board for requests that are marked as "no need to accept". For example, you can show your guild card's history of defeats for defeat requests, or bring the actual item for collection requests. Even if you have already received three requests, you can still complete the request marked "No need to receive". The white board

That whiteboard-like thing is called a request board.

It's a good idea to keep an eye on the date the request was made, as it will show the date and whether or not it has been paid off. You can't get paid if you bring the history before the date of the request. Please note that you will only be reimbursed for requests that were made within 30 days of the day they were made. In addition, once you have used the history to clear a request, it will be marked as cleared, so you cannot complete more than one request at a time. If there is a request to kill one fish and a request to kill two fish, it is possible to kill three fish to complete both requests. You can also buy medicinal herbs, demon materials, and other items not related to the request at the counter. You can also bring the corpse as it is, but it will take a lot of baggage, so it is recommended that you check the parts that can be sold beforehand and bring only those parts. You may have magical qualities, but there is a limit to the capacity of your item box. If you have any other questions about individual requests, please feel free to ask. Do you have any questions?

No, sir. No, not really.

There seems to be a very convenient system. I wonder if the reason why requests are written on the request board instead of on paper is because paper is not widely used.

My item box seems to have a capacity of 1012, so it won't fill up too much. I'd hate it if there was a weight limit.

"Then you are now a guild member. As a guild member, I expect you to act with awareness. Would you like to accept a request? I don't recommend it at night since visibility is poor and you're vulnerable to surprise attacks.

"It's already dark today. I'll leave it for tomorrow.

Yes, I understand. That's a wise decision.

I leave the guild and head for the gate. The sun has already set.

There are no more stores preparing to close, and the only stores open are those that look like bars. The streets are almost empty.

I reached the gate.

I've been given a temporary ID, and I've registered as an adventurer.

"Oh, touch this. Touch this.

I touch the same white board I came in with, and the gatekeeper checks it, takes my temporary ID, and hands me a silver coin.

I put it in my pocket, thanked the gatekeeper, and asked him where I should stay today.

Thank you very much. By the way, do you have any recommendations for a cheap place to stay?

"If you go straight to the left at the corner there, you will find "Haneyasume Tei". It's popular among adventurers. It's cheap, but the food is good and it's safe.

"Thank you, I'll try it.

I turn left at the corner where the guard told me to go. The alley looks like a residential area. It doesn't seem to have as many stores as the street to the guild.

Go straight for about 30 meters, and you will see a two-story wooden building with a sign that says "Haneyasume Tei.

It's not a new building, but it's not rundown either. It looks like an ordinary inn. It may be cheap because it is not in a good location.

Thinking about this, I open the door of the inn and go inside. The inside of the inn looks like a normal inn like you see in RPGs.

Next to it is a building that I'm not sure if it's a bar or a restaurant.

"Welcome! Welcome.

I was greeted by a girl who looked to be about 12 or 3 years old. The girl who greeted me went into the back of the store, and soon a well-dressed woman came out.
