“Wait! What’s with that stuffed animal! It’s so cute!”
Ranas eyes were shining.
“Let me tell you.”
Did Rika really say tell you instead of explain or something? She had stepped forward with a rather crisp look.
“Thats OK, just let me touch it!”
Rana ignored her like nothing had happened and Rikas expression appeared sunken. Meanwhile, Ciara appeared intent on changing the topic of conversation.
“Rika, what’s your job?”
“*cough* I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t acquired one yet.”
“Then you can just ask Zephyrus! He can help you get the job you want!”
Rana threw out a suggestion as she went over to Hannah and Ester to play with the stuffed animal. They weren’t defiling his kittyness, which thst alone was worth the 120,000 Mir.
“Oh right, I haven’t heard what job you’re aiming for. If you don’t know would you like me to suggest some?”
“Hmm? Was she not joking when she said you could get me the job I wanted?”
“Its not a joke, everyone here got their jobs after being instructed by Zephyrus.”
Why does Rana look so proud? Is she proud of me?
“If you don’t have one in mind I’d like to recommend four thst you can choose frome ok?”
“Huh? OK, please do. ”
[Demonic ronin] was one with the strongest attack in the samurai tree. After that came [female samurai] which could be an attacker or a tank. After that came [samurai warrior] and then [secluded girl]. All of these were strong but since she was a girl I kind of wanted her to choose one of the female specific jobs.
“Hmm, I’ve never heard of these.”
I was ready to explain her chosen route in detail but her reaction was very slow.
“As the daughter of a samurai, I don’t think I could spend time becoming a witch.”
That’s unfortunate, although it would be difficult to try and change a person who has the knowledge and training needed to be a samurai into a witch. Can’t be helped I guess.
“Could I really become a [female samurai]? Even my more talented sisters couldn’t reach it. ”
“Well, even if you think we’re tricking you why not just move forward with it and then if you do get it, you profit from it? ”
“No, Zephyrus you have a mysterious persuasive power. What you say is probably correct, I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize.”
We decided to work on Rikas job tonight as I had a prior obligation with Maria and it was about time for her to be getting out of class.
“Is Maria here?!”
“I’m here!”
When we arrived a pigtailed elementary schooler ran up to us…. Sorry, I meant Maria.
“Oh? You’ve gotten more members.”
“We’ve gained two new people, I wanted to discuss getting some equipment done. While they wanted to negotiate the assessment table. So we ended up all deciding to come together.”
“I see, it’s kind of narrow here so why don’t we head further inside?”
It was certainly a little cramped where we were so we all followed Maria towards a larger space in the back where we got her to remove the Anteater bear fur from the items being sold and make Kahluas equipment from it instead.
“I have no complaints as long as you let us handle the making of the equipment.”
“You’re fast.”
They decided to take Kahluas measurements immediately and I was kicked out of the store. As expected a man can’t be present while they take a females measurements.
Everyone else remained behind except Rika. I ate a quick meal and then headed back to my room to help Rika meet the requirements for her job.
By the way the previous dungeon run earned us each 1.56 million Mir. A total of 7.8million was split between us meaning the average boss earned us around 300,000.
When Rika saw the reward amount she’d said something like “I could buy so many of those rare stuffed animals…”
…..there’s only one though Rika..
