Chapter 31: It seems that bureaucrats like wasting money. I wanted to get a position at a public library, but they are the only ones getting profit
Day 22 Morning, Omui Guild.
Today I once again drop by the guild, and today again, no one would meet eyes with me. Isn't this amazing? Not sure if it's related, but according to rumors, as of late many adventurers have neck pains.
Why is it the same quests every day? I'm coming here daily.
Why are you coming here daily?*Sigh*
Flat gaze with a sigh. As expected of the president of the receptionists. A lot of variation.
Today, I wanted to search for the geeks again, but it seems that yesterday's incident impacted the girls more than one would expect, so I'm currently under self-restraint, why? I didn't get any injury or anything? Even though the bandits just ran out of breath and collapsed to the ground on their own?
I'm always getting scolded even though I didn't do anything bad and just was dragged into this. Such a mystery.
On the other hand, even if I want to earn money, there are no good jobs. None. Never. I'm yet to see even one.
50,000 ere for daily allowance is the utmost cruelty.
At this rate, my affection points with the opposite sex I want affection points. As a high school boy.
Isn't there something that can bring in money? It's fine if it's not a quest.
At this point, it has nothing to do with the adventurers guild, does it? To begin with, you aren't even an adventurer? And from what I've heard, you took all the money not only from the guild but also from the blacksmith and the general store, where did it go? Why do they keep disappearing every day?
Will it ruin your day if you don't leave someone without a single penny?
Looks like this world has a deficit of hard currency. And since they don't have enough coin, money isn't circulating properly in the economy, leading to a shortage of funds at stores. Which they are trying to blame on me. Was a deflationary spiral summoned to this world as well?
I don't think I had it among my classmates?
There is no job outside the town, but staying in town means no money, but leave the town and they will be worried about me, but staying in town I'd want more money, which brings me to square one, no jobs in town.
Peeking into this store, peeking into that store, window-shopping a bit, losing all my money Should I hunt some gobs after all?
Like, would someone approach her during a ballMy lady, would you like to join me in foot stomping?, is this how it goes? Nobles sure have it hard.
NNngh! Here, it's a trifling sum, but please accept this as a reward. Also, yesterday we heard that you don't have identification papers, so we made them, if it suits you, please use them. They also serve as an entry pass to the town, so you won't have to pay to enter the town in the future.
The pass has the name of the town written on it, so please remember it. It's Omui. The name of this town and my family name are both Omui. I have a name.
I have written it here. Please remember it. Meriel Shimu Omui. Please forget Merimeri-san.
The meal was delicious. The chat Well, she was saying something. It's fine, I guess.
By all rights, it should have been my father, the lord of the town, who should be thanking you, but unfortunately, he, along with my mother, had to leave the town in the morning. He asked to apologize for this rudeness. He also said that he will make the sign on the entrance to the town bigger.
Big enough to be able to read Omuion it even from afar. And will also hang a few bannersWelcome to the town of Omui.inside the town. And he already ordered 100 signposts to be placed on the way to Omui.
Some officials even proposed creating a theme song for the town and playing it at a high volume 24 hours a day.
Good grief, looks like bureaucrats love wasting money no matter where you go. They are most likely in cohorts with the banner maker and theme composer and are just trying to profit from this. It is exactly because the officials lack integrity and common sense that the economy is going into recession.
And they don't even notice it. They probably don't even realize how absurd their ideas are. They are simply unqualified for positions involved with handling public funds. They most likely misunderstand money collected from businesses and the public as generated profit.
Absolutely preposterous. Damn it, if I didn't get transported to another world, I would've been trying to get a position at a public library. Why can only they leech off public funds? I also want to use public funds to buy books that I want!
Read what I please as much as I please! Declare the books of the library as my own property! If you have money to make banners they spend them on a library! That's why bureaucrats are
Heeey, why do you never listen to what I'm saying? Are you ignoring me? Are you pretending to be deaf? Which means that you can hear me?
Are you listening? And why won't you remember my name?
Ah, looks like the young lady was saying something.
The treatment is the same as the last time, even though I dressed up for today
The butler got mad at me.
The maids were nice though
