“Everyone is looking at us.”
“Hm? Oh this is normal for me. My equipment kind of stands out.”
I’m currently heading to a restaurant with a cat girl, so more people than usual might be looking at us. There are several restaurants around the school as most students aren’t satisfied with the food on the cafeteria.
“Here?”
We arrived at a curry restaurant, it seemed I made the right choice because drool was flowing from the edge of her mouth. [Marvelous] is good because it has private rooms that are perfect for holding meetings. It also has gourmet quality food.
We entered the store and took a private room.
“Order whatever you want.”
“Hm, hmmmmm.”
""
You can get a refill up to 5 times.
“!..I love you.”
Her eyes were glittering, as expected, she’s a big eater.
The reason I’m being so nice is because I accidently saw her panties, you can think of it as something like an apology. Although the person in question doesn’t seem to care all that much.
I’ll hold the interview after eating.
“My names Kahlua, nice to meet you.”
“Kahlua, I’m the [hero] Zephyrus, level 26. Nice to meet you.”
We exchanged short introductions.
“Its a little sudden but, what’s your job and level?”
“Unacquired.”
Well, that’s more convenient for me so let’s continue for now.
“It seems like you know who I was and talked to me? Why? Was it to join my guild?”
“You’re the strongest of the first years, I want to serve you.”
Cat people follow strong people, however they never follow people weaker than themselves. Although cat people usually specialize in combat jobs so it works out for me.
“But I’m weak so, just 5 million is fine! It’s a good deal!”
“Its not that good but..”
Although the lowest price to scout a cat person is 5 million, the idea is to get them early and then have them aquire strong jobs as once they have a job and start leveling up their price goes up as well. With the best jobs and high-levels their contract price could exceed 100 million Mir.
Her personality doesn’t seem to be bad but what does she mean by weak?
“Theres only one job I can get.”
“Ah, beast warrior? That is weak.”
It is rather weak with an SUP of only 12. The requirements for the job are just to be a beast man. In other words Kahlua hasn’t met any requirements for other jobs so she’s extremely weak.
“But I’ll get stronger so, hire me.”
It would probably be difficult to get another guild to hire you if you decide to go with [beast warrior].
“Sure.”
“Huh?”
“However my guild is aiming for S rank, if you want to join you also have to aim to be the strongest. If you’re prepared for that I’ll let you join.”
“….really?”
“Think about it properly. My guild is aiming for S rank. If you’re not prepared you’ll be left behind and won’t be able to participate in the guild battles.”
“Yeah, I’ll think about it properly, I want to do it but.. I don’t know I’d I can.”
“If you can’t do it I won’t invite you. I thought you good so I scouted you. If you only have a weak job then I’ll give you a strong one.”
As long as someone gets a good job strength and confidence will come naturally. Anyone can do it but I decided not to mention that. Besides I respect the guts it took to call out to me.
So, what is Kahluas answer?
