Vol. 4 - Chapter 215 - Mona of Collection department

"AHahaha, you don't have to be surprised this much."

"No-No, it's surprising though! I mean, <Brave> is like a shining star of our generation! Now to start about such a transcendental existence, it's natural to be awed in the presence of a heavenly being."

Hmm... So, a Brave is likened to a heavenly being? What an apt phrase. Incidentally, my dungeon equipment goes by the name of the Firmament series.

We three are currently on our way to the trap disarming department.

The reaction I received when I introduced myself was so strong that I couldn't stop myself from bursting out in laughter.

Nonetheless, the existence of a Brave for ordinary students appears to be as dazzling as the stars in the sky.I dare say Hannah must be receiving the same treatment as mine today. Honestly, I also wanted to see how Hannah was coping with a similar situation.

"Or rather, why did you come to the collection department? I thought someone like a Brave would be attending a class called "Es-Esteemed nobles attended" ?"

"You're misinterpreting something. My job may be <Brave>, but I'm not brave at work. I was a bit intrigued by the collection department, so I came to check it out. Though the interest has faded away. "

"I-I see. Certainly, having a job and actually working are two different matters, as you say. My apologies

That was kind of vague, but it seems my wordplay managed to deceive him. What a gullible student he (?) is.

Let's continue with our introduction now that he has calmed down.

"Oh, he's Celestine, a <Butler> and also my attendant."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Celestine."

"What about you?"

"Ah, it's my pleasure too. I'm <Farmer> Mona. Other people are frequently misunderstood, but I'm a man."

Oh, it seems he is worried about this aspect. Well, even his voice sounds neutral too, after all.

Let's give him a helping hand here. This is also a fateful encounter between us.

"Well, the contract would be impossible for now, but if you work hard, I promise to take you along with me for exploration for a while."

"Seriously!?"

"Of course. But that's only if you're truly working hard. That's fine, right, Celestine? "

"Yes. I don't mind. If that's what Zephyr-sama desires"

"Hurray! I will work hard! No, I will give my all! Thank you very much! "

At my proposal, Mona bowed so deeply that I almost thought he was going to perform a dogeza. This is a main road, after all. I have to restrain him before he hinders the traffic.

"Calm down, and you don't have to bow. Let's exchange our contact ID for now. "

"Yes! ... T-That, can you teach me how to use it? I am still not good at using it. "

"Ahahaha! You sure have a lot of trouble in your bag. "

Mona is apparently in class 9 of the collection department. A position much, much further away from other similar but excellent classmates.

I had to even ask if he was really fine with me multiple times to make sure, to which he resolutely nodded.

Hmm, I will first train him so that he doesn't lose to any of the class 1 students, so I will specifically remind him to have the determination of steel.

Now that I have an excellent harvester, I also want a <Colmer> for logging, <Coat miner> for excavation and a fisherman for <Fishing>. Let's ask Mona to introduce them later.

T/N : The chapter I had promised for delay (albeit it got further delay in setting out illustration and checking out on short stories of light novel).

I will upload a side story from light novel v1 in a short while. This one is from Sierra's perspective when Zephyr helped her for first time to get her the job of Shield Princess. Side stories are outside of wn and they will be randomly added, so they aren't included in regular or patreon schedule and will start with 1.xx numbering so check them out.
