47 Episode 47 "Employment Contracts in Another World and How to Do It".txt

'So if I need to go through the guild to get a job, I will, but in this case, I'll go to ......?'

I looked at the guild's reception desk.

The woman standing in front of the counter looked away from me like, huh. I heard her whisper a small mutter. ''It's fine as long as the person in question is satisfied with each other. The guild doesn't interfere,'' what the hell is that?

Doesn't the guild here protect the adventurers like Aine's 'common people's guild'?

''That's right. What do you want to do, Rafilia-san? Will you accept my request?

'Oh, yes. If that's the deal, you can go to .......

It's going to hurt your career, Raphilia-Grace.

A masked man stands in front of Raphilia, blocking her view as she gets up from her chair.

'You're persistent, these guys.

''You let us explain so much to you, and you refuse?

Don't you think that's irresponsible?

The Adventurer's Guild can't ask this kind of person for a job in the future, can they? It might be the joint responsibility of all the elves, right?

The three masked men verbally blame Raphilia.

It's a common pattern in ex-world interviews and such. They make people anxious about the future and put the interviewee on the spot. Do these guys want Rafilia that badly? Or do they want to put you in a position where you don't know what's going on and get the job on the cheap?

It's annoying. I'm getting tired of this kind of crap.

"Ms. Rafilia.

'Oh, yes!　The man in the bath!

'Sorry to interrupt you, but can I have a word with the Divine Order of Life?　I don't want the guild and you to get in trouble.

Yes, sir!　Of course. Oh, please!

Rafilia is convinced.

All we have to do now is keep those blokes, the Knights of Divine Life, quiet.

This is where we're going to live. It's just a matter of time before we have to use our cheat skills to blow them up, so let's settle this matter peacefully.

"Reggie.

Yes, my Lord.

I hand her a piece of parchment, calling her casually mingling between people, and I hand her the parchment.

Reggie takes the pen provided in the guild and smoothly writes the sentences I instructed him to write. I'm still not used to writing in the other world, you know.

Yeah, that's about it.

I'll tell you what. I understand your situation. Then how about we write each other's terms of employment on a piece of paper and let Rafilia-san herself choose?

I show Raphilia and the masked men the terms and conditions of employment that Reggie has written on a piece of paper.

The contents are as I said before. Elderslime measures. The job description is to provide research materials. The reward is 120 arsha. The holding time is about 2 hours. It's not going to be a battle. In fact, if there is a battle, we'll take care of it.

'This way we'll know exactly what we're hiring each other for. It's a job that would be irresponsible to refuse. Isn't that fair?

...... Where do you think that's necessary?

The masked man looked at me.

'I don't know your terms of employment. If you're definitely offering a better deal than I am, it would be an embarrassment to interfere,'' he said. Let's just be quiet and back off. How about that?

I replied.

"...... is true?

Yeah.

I nod, and the masked man calls the guild's receptionist over. I click my tongue and run my pen over the parchment on the table. His hands are awkward. It's as if he's writing in a world he doesn't know.

'Now you won't complain!

The masked man held up the parchment to everyone in the Adventurer's Guild and showed it to them.

''Quest: Dungeon Exploration Assistant.

Schedule: 3 days minimum. Maximum of 5 days.

Job description: assistant combatant. Rearguard. No close combat is required. Healing magic is provided free of charge. Defensive support available.

Equipment is provided free of charge. Lodging is provided for the duration of your employment. Private rooms. Includes a bath. Meals included. Rest periods.

Compensation: 6,000 arsha'

Whoa, a sigh echoed within the guild.

Indeed, it was a surprisingly good condition.

''These are the conditions that we, the Knights of Divine Life, offer to Raphilia-Grace.

'Didn't you say earlier that you'd be paid a fifth for your attitude?

Now, what are you talking about?

So you're saying that those terms of employment will definitely be offered to Mr. Rafilia?

You're out of line, my dear. Isn't that what we're talking about?

...... I don't think we could do it under those conditions.

Raphilia's face turns blue at my line.

'You can't be irresponsible, can you? Other people's lives depend on it. Conditions of employment are important, and it's only natural that the one who can't provide adequate conditions of employment would step aside.'

Hey, ......, let's take a bath. ......

Raphilia trembles.

The masked men, by contrast, are beating their chests.

'You seem to understand. Now go away. She's going to be our loyal ──── member of the party, that is.

Yeah. Then let's make a 'contract' with each other to hire Rafilia-san on these terms, just in case.

.................. Yeah.

The masked man is exclaiming.

Okay, it took.

"Hmm?　There's nothing wrong with that. Like I said, it's just a matter of what terms of employment are 'definitely' (・・・・・) offered to Mr. Rafilia.

The...?

If you hire Rafilia on those terms, you won't mind signing a contract with her, right?　There's no way that the "contract will be punished". Besides, you were trying to make a 'deal' with Mr. Rafilia on those terms just now, weren't you?

The masked man looks from side to side at my line, as if he's looking for relief.

'Bo, there are irregularities that happen in adventures. If you bind yourself with a "contract", there is a chance that something will happen and put you in danger. So...

'Yeah, that's fine. But I'll make sure to 'contract' with Mr. Rafilia to keep the terms and conditions of this employment. I'd like to guarantee you that I'll pay you as little as I get paid.

I know there are irregularities in our adventures.

So what I'm asking is the minimum line that these guys can guarantee.

Normally, the Adventurer's Guild would be the coordinator and protect the adventurers. But that doesn't work in Irgafa's guild. The fact that the guild officials turned a blind eye to the fact that Rafilia was getting a pressure interview and the guild officials turned a blind eye to it is proof of that.

And these guys, the Knights of Divine Life, can't be trusted, no matter what you think.

If that's the case, we'll just have to ask the 'God of Contracts' to come out.

I'm giving them unreasonable conditions. And the reward is ensured to be paid by the 'contract'. I'll fill in the difference in remuneration between us and the Knights of Divine Life with certainty. What do you want to do?　You could at least guarantee the amount of money you're getting paid in a 'contract'.

No ............ no no no!

The masked man shook his head.

'Some ups and downs depending on the outcome of the search!　Of course, what's missing, we're going to move in the direction of eliminating life insecurity in terms of lifetime income in the long run, but of course!

'How about if I succeed in my quest, I'll pay you properly?　If you can't get the full amount, I'm guaranteeing you half the money.

No, no, no, no, no!

The masked man is shaking his head sideways in a big hurry. Huh?

...... I could do a tenth of that.

No, no, no, no, no!

............ a hundred and one.

buzz buzz buzz

............ job description has recovery magic, and you're sure it doesn't require close combat?

No, no. There's a decision to be made in the field: ...... No, no, no.

Equipment rental. With a rest stop at the inn, you'll have to...

"Equipment is for hire!　Of course, it's not necessarily a weapon, and I can't lend you a high end item. But this much, there's no need to 'sign a contract' for every single thing!

What I'm most interested in is the length of time I've been working.

These guys were trying to confuse Raphilia and force her to sign a 'contract'. The terms and conditions, all vague.

Were they really going to hire her as an 'adventurer'?

'You could at least 'sign a contract' that you'll definitely let her go in up to five days.　If you have no choice but to extend it, it's 7 or 8 days, and if it's longer than that, you can 'contract' again.

You can 'contract' that far in advance, right?　Isn't it?

..................

They gnashed their teeth.

They stared at this side - or more accurately, at Leggy's collar.

They were going to ...... make Raphilia a slave?　...... Oh man.

How about in honor of the town that was blessed by the great 'sea dragon'?

I clicked the 'Mask of the Sea Dragon Kerkator'.

I speak to the people in the Adventurer's Guild so that they can understand.

''If you were to refuse the terms offered by the Knights of Divine Life because you didn't agree with them, can you say that Rafilia-san is so irresponsible that it would hurt your adventurer's career?''

The woman at the guild's reception desk looked away.

But a few of the adventurers here certainly shook their heads.

The Adventurer's Guild - I don't know why, but maybe the Adventurer's Guild can't go against the Order of Divine Life. But you mean the adventurers aren't? Well, whether the quest conditions are decent or not depends on the life of the questers.

''So, what do you do, Rafilia-san?''

Yeah, of course you do!

Rafilia trembled with her hands on the table, but still desperately raised her voice.

Oh, I'll accept the request of the person with the sea dragon's mask, not that bath──I'll accept the request of the person with the sea dragon's mask. Roughly, what is that, 6,000 arsha!　I applied for a job to help you prepare for the dungeon search, for 200 arsha!

............ Hey.

It's not even close to appropriate, Knights of Divine Life.

''I thought the Knights of Divine Life was a legendary party ...... because they say it's the highest ranking adventurer's guild: ......

Raphilia stared at the masked men with tears in her eyes.

'But not at all!　I know the real legends. You're no better than true heroes. Shame on you!

............ Well, that's okay. There are other adventurers out there with the caliber of Raphilia-Grace.

It's opened up, these guys.

The men in the masks moved away from Raphilia.

They look at Rafilia and me with their black eyes behind their masks and snicker.

'Don't get me wrong, Raphilia-Grace. The reason we spoke that way was to give you some insight into your spiritual strength. We serve the Noble One. There should not be one disrespect in ten thousand. So I had to test you.

............ is all about ......

Rafilia murmured, out of breath.

I help Raphilia to stand up. Her legs are trembling from being abused so much.

Yet, the men still don't stop talking.

'It's a pity,' she said, 'that we could have taught you about our employer if we had formally 'signed' the contract. You'll see how foolish you are for following that stranger. No doubt he was only attracted to your beauty anyway. I will tell you... show you who you are.

The masked man pointed at me and Raphilia.

"To you. 'Be my slave!

'Enough!　It's none of your business anymore!

With a bang, Rafilia tapped the table.

'In fact, I would never be a slave!　Don't underestimate me!

Of course.

I'm mad at them too. I don't know what they're doing.

I'm not saying that.　'Be my slave' to Miss Raphilia!

Huh!

Raphilia snapped back.

"Yes, that's right. I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of this stuff, I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of this stuff, I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of this stuff, I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of this stuff. You can also go to ...... for more information. Even if you say so, you can't just go to ....... It's no good!

............ Um, hey.

I'm not sure why you are trembling and holding your skirt, Rafilia.

The people in the guild are quite surprised.

Well, well. We're leaving, Mr. Rafilia.

...... yes.

I pulled Raphilia's hand away and walked out of the guild.

"Reggie. Watch your back. We'll see if they follow us.

"Yes, my Lord.

Leggy returns to his palm in the shadows and hides under my collar.

'I'm going to roll those guys. I'm going a little fast, but follow me.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

The crowds at the festival help us out.

We walk quickly into the crowd. Leggy is watching our backs. They stand out because they are wearing silver masks. They reflect the setting sun, so it's obvious they are following us.

We headed toward the harbor from the main street. There are more shadows on this side of the street than the house. There are big crates of stuff to load on the boats. So...

Wow. ──────────────!

thug

We have enough material to keep Rita from stalling her pursuers.

It's just as we discussed.

I look back for a moment and see a blonde girl, also wearing a sea dragon mask.

She (Rita) slides under the feet of the masked men. She knocked several of them down collectively and immediately left with her momentum. The masked men rolled on the ground together and ran head first into a pile of crates.

As it is, we meet up with Rita.

After running around in the unfamiliar town, when we are close to the house...

Thank you so much for your help: ...... Thank you so much for your help: ────!

The elf girl, Raphilia-Grace, got down on her knees to us.
