The morning outside was turning white and the dawn was not yet over. I slowly got out of bed so as not to wake Ciel, who was sleeping next to me, and rented the bathtub that was in her house. I just arrived so I don't know where the well is, but I have magic so there's nothing wrong with that. I filled the tub with water from my fingertips, then added ice to make it cool, and then washed my face.
The drowsiness that remained slightly on the cold face crashed. I wiped my face with the towel I just bought yesterday, changed my clothes, and dressed up in the mirror with my only hand in Ciel's house.
"OK!"
I don't have any strange or arthritic sleeping habits. The meeting was over yesterday, but I can't show you anything weird because it's the first day of work. I have to make sure that my colleagues and visiting adventurers do not look down on me.
"Hm... Layer... chan? You're awake yet?"
Ciel woke up while rubbing his sleepy eyes. Her thin underwear fell asleep and her chest was almost exposed, so I hurriedly turned my eyes away. It's been a long time since I turned into a woman, but I'm impressed by the strangeness that I'm still a man. It is poisonous to the eyes.
"Good morning Ciel"
"Good morning... Well, it's the first day. Do you like it?"
Ciel, who woke up with a bitter smile, got out of bed, washed his face and started preparing food. But it's not self-catering. All you have to do is reheat the bread and soup you bought yesterday with magic fire. It was not uncommon for adventurers like him to leave home for such a long time. So if I keep food at home, it will rot and I will not be able to eat it, or at worst it will be left until the insects sprout. Therefore, food is basically bought or ordered the day before.
"Thank you for today's grace, Wisdom, God of Wisdom."
"I'm gonna enjoy this"
Now Ciel prays to Wisdom, the god of wisdom. When he prayed every day like him, he sometimes benefited from the Gods. Therefore, most people in this world believed in some kind of god.
In this world, there is another god of justice and light, Lumiel, the god of war, Gale, the god of war, Faltira, the god of fertility, who controls the birth of life, Toledo, the god of business that controls transactions and contracts, and the improvement of technology. There is Artie, the god of craftsmanship, and Samuel, the god of darkness and destruction.
Everyone worshipped a different god, but no matter which god they worshipped, they basically had to be free. Three hundred years ago, the god the Demon King worshipped was Samuel, so if you say that you worship Samuel, you will be persecuted in my day. But it's not always the same now. You should gradually investigate the area while observing the reactions around it.
I don't really believe in any gods, but I always benefit from them. People are envious of the fact that the effect is a muscle strength that is far from ordinary people, a miracle of all attributes, a memory that is hard to forget once you remember it, and that you are generally right when you judge by intuition. Well, I can't be a hero without it...
Ciel was only a witch and probably believed in Wisdom, the god of wisdom. Widham benefits in general is to increase magical power and improve memory. Unless you are a pastor, the effect will be small, but it is better to have it than not.
After you finish eating, brush your teeth. At the end of a small tree, feathers from a pig's back are collected and tied up to brush teeth. There seems to be no change here even after 300 years. After polishing, rinse your mouth with water several times to release the dirt in your mouth out. I love this little joy.
When I do this, the sun is moving to a higher position than before. It was around the time when the people heading to their respective workplaces left home and outside was almost noisy.
"Then Ciel, I'm leaving."
"Come, Lapis-chan. Good luck."
I turned my hand to Ciel, who waved until I could not see him, and walked along the main road to the guild. The apprentice children were busy moving in many stores, and they worked hard to pick up and clean up the store. I can't lose either.
After arriving in front of the guild, the adventurers who were looking for work in the morning, the adventurers who came back to report the request, and the adventurers who were holding the demon corpses to buy materials lined up, and the adventurers who were holding the demon corpses to buy materials lined up, I'm waiting for the reception to start. When I passed them and stepped in, I met the river guild master who seemed to have just come.
"Good morning guild master"
"Good morning, Lapis. It's a little earlier than scheduled time. I'm impressed."
I looked around with Kyoro, but I haven't seen any other staff. Apparently it came too early.
"If that's true, everyone should gather during this time. Our staff did not get together very well. They're tired of hard work every day, so I ignore ..."
Somehow ... it seems like they are loose in time. But that does not mean I will be late like other employees. I had to work hard to get a place to live.
"Then it's bad, but please help me prepare. Which is easy to do. I'll ask you to clean the inside and outside, and then add the parts that need to be refilled. The cleaning tools are in the back, and the parts are in stock. It's in the warehouse, and the product name is written on the shelf, so you can tell. If anything happens, please contact me again. "
"understood"
Now it's time for a live broadcast. I tightened my mind again and immediately started cleaning the inside with a cleaning tool in one hand. His guild was quite dirty, probably due to the many adventurers rushing about every day. Not only the dust, but also the blood dripping from the monster corpses and the food scraps that one seemed to drop were left with nothing. Wanting to doubt the nervousness of those who insensitively pollute public places, I picked them up and then swept them from corner to corner with a broom.
The next thing to do is to add a section. The main additional items were various documents on the back of the counter, dishes made of mysterious substances that did not know what to use, and ink and pen tips. In other words, this is something that is often used during the day.
After you finish working on the inside, it's time to clean the outside. The adventurers in line will feel free to look at it, but ignore everything and start cleaning. I had swept the front of the guild to some extent, so I thought I should clean up the surroundings as well.At that time, a pair of impolite adventurers stood in front of me.
"……Need anything?"
"I didn't see you. Are you a newcomer?"
I thought it was only intertwined for a moment, but it seemed like I was only worried about my new face. After all, you should not judge from appearance.
"From my day of work here. I'm Lapis. It's nice to meet you."
Now that I am an employee, I have to be careful with words. Anyone would be crazy about him.
"Isn't it very profitable to be a guild employee? Can you live a good life with us? Do you want to go with us now?"
……I take it back. After all it seemed like the appearance and content were interrelated. It is not a bad person to suddenly reduce one's profession.
"I will hold back. I'm going to work now."
"That's right. I'll do good things."
"Get with sake"
I got used to it and my hand rotated on my shoulder and it clicked involuntarily. Instead of being touched by my body, I was struck by the fact that the clothes Ciel and her friends had bought were dirty with dirty hands. I thought I was going to hurt him for a moment, but if I go wild here, I might suddenly get fired on the first day, and I have to put up with that. While trying to be as comfortable as possible, I tried to persuade him to remind him by exerting all self-control so as not to vent his emotions.
"That's .. Can you stop touching me? I have no intention of dating you."
"... Thas right. Listen to what you say calmly as you say it gently."
"Who do you think we are? Our class is iron? Can a woman be an enemy? Do you want to hear what you're saying with all your might?"
I don't know who you areI desperately held back the screams. The hand that wrapped around my shoulder was filled with power, and it turned into a suffocating motion. I couldn't stay still this far, so when I grabbed my hand to turn it around, an adventurer jumped out of line.
"stop, you guys stop! Stop him not liking it!"
The adventurer still looks like a boy. The face with a small child had raised eyebrows and a tight mouth. The strong-willed eyes glared at the two adventurers working as wolves, and the leather armor and sword at the waist, which seemed to be newly purchased, gave the impression that they were different from the others.
It's good to jump out, but it's possible that the child's body trembles subtly, probably out of fear. No wonder. Not to mention the duo, the boy did not seem to be used to fighting. It may be just a beginner, or if you are not good at it, it is almost like an apprentice who has not signed up. The duo looked disappointed for a moment, but when they grinned face to face, they approached the boy with a step.
"What's? Can you tell me again because I can't hear you?"
"... Stop the. He doesn't like it."
"Huh!? What's up!? I can't hear you!"
"Geez!"
An unpleasant laugh disrupts the nerves. Unfortunately, the boy was really scared. Knowing that, both are intimidating. I can't take it anymore. I'll tighten it up. It's not good for mental health if you leave these people alone, and most importantly, if you miss the Adventurer's wolf, you'll get involved in the guild's ticket. I will apologize to the Guild Master later. I approached Zunsun excitedly and reached out to one of the two.
"What you? I want to go with us-Come!?"
"What!?"
Hold your arm, turn your back, disconnect and rotate. The man bowed like a shrimp due to the pain, but he pulled it to the ground.
"You! What are you doing!"
Instead, the other person grabbed the arm and threw it back with one hand. The man flew while spinning, and when he hit the guild wall, he fainted or got stuck. In an instant, everyone around me put on a surprised expression. The same goes for boys who try to help me and men whose arms are twisted. Then, perhaps he heard the voice, a small river that should have been prepared inside appeared out.
"What's going on!? What's going on!?"
"not good..."
...... How should I explain this situation? There was one man who grew up in front of the guild, someone I was holding, and a newcomer who was going to work for the first time today. And a boy was dumbfounded while standing at the end. It can be misunderstood that I suddenly started to go berserk. I couldn't think of a good reason, and when I slammed my mouth, I wondered if the creek was guessing something, and I glanced at this while carrying the man who fell on my shoulder.
"Let's ask the situation. The boy and Lapis are inside. Oh, bring that guy too."
"Tsu .. cute face and fucked up sister"
"Let's hear the complaint later. First of all, it was from interrogation. Lapis. Tell me what happened."
The river's eyes are sharp. I'm just saying that if I lie, I won't forgive. I try to explain the series of events that happened before from a third-party point of view, with as little personality as possible. A man tried to pinch his mouth a few times on the road, but each time the river glared and kept him quiet. And Creek repeats the same question for boys and boys. The boy's argument was almost the same as mine—'s but the man's argument was exactly the opposite. I screamed because I was in trouble, but suddenly I was supposed to be violent. That boy is my companion. It is impossible for someone who does not know his name to be treated as a companion. I wonder if my head isn't spinning too much.
"... I see, I have a general idea of the situation."
"If so, punish these people early! Guilds often employed such ruthless women!"
Anger comes again with selfish words. It was a behavior that did not even think of the fragment that self would be punished. But this is not the scene where I speak. In front of me in silence, Creek reached out to the man and said calmly and with a powerful voice.
"You are the one who should be punished. Normally, you would call a guard to take you, but this time, let's be careful. Take out the adventurers' plates."
"Why!? That woman was the first to commit violence!"
"No, you touched his body first, so self-defense was accepted. There is also the testimony of this boy. It's clear who's lying. Come on, take the plates out quietly."
The man regretfully clenched his teeth and handed the plate from his chest into the river. The plate I saw for the first time had a dull and shiny luster. This plate was probably related to the iron that the man talked about earlier.
Even so, I suddenly became an adult even though I was very noisy a while ago. Is there a reason?
When Creek received the plate from the man, he took the plate out of the man's pocket, which was still stretched out, and began to copy something on paper at the counter. And I gave the plate I had to the man.
"I've already recorded my name. Be careful, if something happens next, you will be completely sanctioned. You can go now."
"Ci!"
Slamming his tongue, the man left the guild to bring his friend. Oh my God, I managed to calm down. When I was relieved to breathe, Creek looked at me with a bitter smile.
"It was a disaster from day one, Mr. Lapis"
"No. I'm relieved that nothing happened."
"It was the right response for the guild employees. Some adventurers are unable to contact you as they are now. You have to catch them as soon as you find them. They only worked with guilds, so they were silent in front of the powerful staff. This time it's unlucky to be involved without knowing your strength. "
A river that gave up its shoulder after saying that. I see, it looks weak if it's just his appearance, I.
"That's you. There's a lot you have to see. It's hard to get a sense of justice against your opponent."
"Thank you ..."
The boy was ashamed of the praise from the river. Yes, I am also impressed by the actions of this child. There were many adventurers at that time, but none of them tried to help. I'm sure it's better than this kid in terms of ability. I don't know if he avoided the hassles or thought it wasn't worth his help, but it was definitely the boy who did the right thing there.
"By the way, you look like a newcomer, but what are the requirements for the guild today?"
That said, the boy was relieved. Can't be ... I forgot my destination ...?
“Oh! I left the village because I wanted to be an adventurer! I worked hard, adjusting the equipment with the money I saved, then I just registered in the guild.
"Oh, so. Thas right. Lapis. Try this kid's procedure too. I'll teach you."
"Yes!"
Suddenly. But rather than the adventurers outside who rushed into the snow and became impatient and in a hurry to learn, I am grateful that they taught me their work in a quiet guild where there was no one but the three of us.
Creek gestured me and the boy to the counter and took out a piece of paper, a needle, a blank bronze plate, and a brilliant ball.
"Federal Teacher, what is this?"
"This paper is necessary to trace the name and age of the boy, gender and race. This needle is for collecting blood. And this bronze plate to carve the name from now on. And lastly. Is the ball needed to share newly acquired information with guilds around the world. Let's try it first."
With that said, Creek opened the ink lid with a pen in one hand. And that pushed him here.
"You'll get the information you need to sign up from the boy and record it. There are four things: name, age, gender, and race. You don't need anything else."
"understood"
My hands were shaking at my first job. After taking a deep breath and calming down, I asked the child with a smile to make it easier to talk to.
"First, please tell me your name."
"Yes! Well, my name is Abel. I'm seventeen years old, man. I'm human!"
...... I was answered before I asked all the questions. Is it natural that I heard the story? Creek, who witnessed such a conversation with a bitter smile, now offered the needle to the boy. Abel, who reflexively accepted it, had a puzzled expression on his face.
"E.M...?"
"Now prick your finger and drop a drop of blood on the plate. Oh, if you don't like your fingers, you can use your arms or legs. If you can get blood, you won't complain."
"Then .. with your finger"
Abel who stuck a needle on his finger without hesitation. The blood dripping from Abel's finger fell on the plate I hurriedly presented, and began to emit a faint light. The plate revealed the information about Abel that I just wrote. Finally, when the light died down, there was a bronze plate with Abel information on it.
"ply. Now I'm gonna touch that ball."
The moment I touched the ball as I was told, a huge amount of information flowed into my head. When I was shocked and almost let go, the sound of a sharp tributary echoed.
“Like that!...Don't freak. It was an orb to share information, so it was only connected to the information of the adventurers who had registered so far. Lapis held the plate she had just made and held it in her head. All you have to do is read the content inside. If the previously registered person tries to cheat under another name, it will be revealed at this point, and if there is nothing, the registration will be completed. There was information in it. It was included, and it seemed like it was unique in the world. For details, only Sol Ciel who created this system knows. "
After all, was this made by a Sol Ciel? Anyway, read it in my head ...? I read Abel's information silently while looking at the plate I had in my hand. Then, strangely enough, there was a feeling that information was written in something through a sphere that was connected to me. I wonder if the registration information is now. There is something useful.
"Okay, this is the end of the procedure. Mr. Abel. Now you are one of the adventurers starting today. Welcome to."
"Thank you!"
Abel smiled as he received the plate being served. I look happy from the bottom of my heart. It's kind of funny.
"The adventurous ban is easy.You don't have to do anything that violates the law. Be careful because the guild will punish you for doing bad things or cheating. Be careful first, then warn, and keep improving. If you don't." T, you'll lose your status. In the worst case, you may be ordered to subdue. Since each country officially recognized union activities, even assassinations were allowed at the time of official request or conquest. It is said that sometimes it is done. Careful.”
"……understood"
Abel's throat rang. I was nervous, but I thought Abel was fine. I can't imagine this kid doing anything.
"This is the adventurous registration flow. Is it easy?"
"Yes, that's quite a lot."
I think it'll be more difficult. I thank you for the simple procedure of the person who did it. Then I saw some people coming in from the entrance. It seems Camille and the other staff came to work.
"Oh, you're the guild master with Lapis. What are you doing?"
"What, I just told them to enroll in the field."
"Is that so? Lapis was very enthusiastic about her work."
Camille makes a fun laugh. It was almost time for him to open up. My hunch seemed right, and Creek patted me on the shoulder.
"Now, Layer. It's finally time for a live broadcast. You should observe Camille's work at the reception. And if you think you can do it, ask yourself. That okay?"
"understood"
"A good answer. Let's start today's work."
When the river opened the door, the adventurers who were marching outside entered one after another. I was a little disappointed by the wave of people like that, and I regained my spirit.
