I came here because I want something. One is seawater, and the other is seashells. To get them, I need a water bottle and a wooden box. And a cart to carry them home. I'm thinking of something like a wheelbarrow. Farming tools and tools would be helpful, and maybe some dried fish as a thank-you gift for the residents when they come back? I wonder if there's anything else: .... I don't know.

I'm not sure what to do. I can get you a water bottle, a wooden box, a wheelbarrow and some dried fish. The people here won't mind if you say it's a thank you to the people who protected their village. You'll have to go to a bigger town to get extra farming tools, so you can come to the town where we're based. Seawater and seashells, right? Can I ask what it's for?

It's a good idea to say as much as you can think of, but everyone looks at you like you don't make sense.

"Seawater and seashells are used to make mud walls. I can't tell you the details, but I was wondering if I could improve the living environment a little by using the methods I used in my hometown. I just thought. What is it?

"Mud walls? It must be some kind of special technique. Let's not pry too much into it. If it's a good technique, I'd like to learn about it, but I'm not going to force you. .... This man is not cut out for business.

This guy is not good for business. He has an interesting aura of "teach me.

"Captain Cook's brother is a carpenter, right? "Captain Cook's brother is a carpenter? He's a good carpenter and proud of it, isn't he?

Well, no wonder you want interesting and new technology.

Havok! That's it!

"Well, if you think I was listening to you casually, I can only say that I'm sorry Captain Cook, but you're lucky you didn't take over as carpenter. That's all I can say. Guy.

"You too, Guy!

You're a great boss who's worth messing with. I don't know how much of it is natural, but...

I'm not sure how much of this is natural, but if you're saying you're good, are you skilled?

「「「「「「................... 」」」」」」

Oh, you're staring at me.

"Skills? It's not good manners to talk like that, you know. Or what? Are you interested in a skilled technician?

Oh, no. I'm just curious because I've heard that you're a good carpenter and I have woodworking and civil engineering skills. I'm curious.

「「「「「「...................... 」」」」」」

I don't like that vibe. You're embarrassing me.

Why don't you come work at my family's house?

Captain, you're making a mistake. You should be recruiting for the Order.

Because I've already been rejected by the Order!

You're both rejected. Both are rejected.

「「「「「「................... 」」」」」」

That's enough.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'd like to know how you handle skills over here. How do you verify them, how do you hire them... and how do you pay them?

"Over here? As the protector of the country, I'll let you know which one it is, but I'll answer your question. When you become an adult at the age of 12, you will be issued a guild card to check your skills before you start working. This is the first time you know your skills. This is the case for all people, nobility and royalty alike. For some reason, you cannot get a card if you are under 12 years old. This is a common coming-of-age ritual. The card shows your name and your guild, but only if you choose to display your status and skills. Well, at that point, only about one in twenty people have skills. I see.

I see. If only you can see your skills, then people can't know that you're a skill holder unnecessarily. I don't know. Isn't that strange? Because the goddess said that even normal people have one or two. I don't know what you're talking about!

Doesn't every normal person have at least one or two skills?

"That means you'll have one or two skills by the time you grow up and die. Soldiers, knights and adventurers who go into battle have a few more, but you don't hear of craftsmen getting skills related to their work very often. I'm sorry.

I guess I totally f*cked up. Well, no matter! You can't change the past by worrying about it.

So, where are you from? You'll tell me, won't you? You don't know how to use a guild card, that's obvious. You don't even know what a guild card does. I don't get it. Don't give me some lame excuse like you don't remember. It'll get you in a lot of trouble. I'm sorry.

Well, what exactly do you mean by "a lot of trouble"?

Like being questioned about being a spy in front of a councilor with the skills to know for sure?

I knew these guys were trouble. They deserve it? If you can blame someone else, blame someone else... for your own peace of mind.
