After the training, as originally planned, we are going organize the warehouse with the other adventurers who are staying at the inn. After completing the registration at the guild, we all head to the warehouse district by the river.

By the way, Sue is not wearing a magician hat.

Well, it seems that Sue has some opinions about it.

「「「Good morning. 」」」

“Good morning. Oh, there is a new recruit huh.”

“My name is Sue. Nice to meet you.”

“Well, that’s a very polite greeting.”

We greeted the dandy warehouse owner, who seemed to notice Sue as well. Sue greeted him in return, and the warehouse owner nodded in satisfaction.

He then led us to the warehouse.

“This is the warehouse that you’ll be working on today. I am handling tea business you see.”

“How should we clean it?”

“It’s basically the same as any other warehouse, like cleaning the floors and discarding decaying crates. It would be helpful if you could also clean the still usable crates.”

“Understood. We’ll do our best.”

The work is basically the same, so we start working right away. We have to clean a large warehouse, but as everyone has gotten used to it, we have become more efficient.

By the way, Sue mainly uses a broom to sweep.

Shiro, who is strong enough, is nimbly carrying the crates that is no longer usable and placed them outside. About four hours after the start of the work, the cleaning of the warehouse has been completed.

“Good job. As expected, it’s completely cleaned up.”

“Well, we’re gradually getting the hang of it.”

The warehouse owner nodded in satisfaction when he saw the clean warehouse.

Then at that moment, a new shipment arrived. The person who works at this warehouse immediately began to check its contents.

“This is black tea from Assam. It was ordered by the Margrave for his reception.”

“Heh~, is that so?”

The items in the crates seemed to be a luxury items, and the order was apparently placed by the lord.

Somehow, the name of the tea production area is similar to my previous life. I only know the brand that was written on the tea in the vending machine though.

Oh?

Suddenly, the person inspecting the delivered goods doesn’t look very good. Sue seems to have noticed something, too.

“Uhm, excuse me. I may have guessed wrong, but isn’t this the cheap tea from Ceylon?”

“Oh, you have a good nose, Miss. I was thinking the same thing.”

Sue’s thoughts coincide with the thoughts of the person who was inspecting the product.

Sue knows a lot about tea huh.

Then the warehouse owner also began to inspect the goods, but his expression immediately darkened.

“Did that company made a mistake with the shipment again or did they do it on purpose!?”

“E-either way, this is bad.”

“That’s right. There is a merchant in the Royal Capital that is solely in charge of the tea trade, but he is connected to a nobleman who has some pretty bad reputation….”

The warehouse owner also seemed to be quite upset about this, apparently not expecting this situation at all.

“I’m going to go to the Margrave for a moment. I need to report this in detail.”

“Sigh. Of all things, why with the goods that the Lord has ordered?”

“How many times have this happened now? The Margrave is a good man, but he is strict when it comes to deception.”

With that, the warehouse owner hurriedly changed his clothes and headed for the residence of the Margrave.

Uhm, what are we going to do?

“Hmmm…. W-where!?”

“Good morning, Sue-oneechan!”

“Sue, are you awake? We are getting ready for breakfast, just wait a minute.”

“Good morning, Shun-san to Shiro-chan……”

As I was preparing breakfast, Sue, who had been sleeping peacefully, woke up with a jolt. She was quite flustered, but when Shiro and I called out, she seemed to have calmed down.

I didn’t dare to pursue it deeply and invited her for breakfast.

“It’s delicious. So Shun-san can cook.”

“Well, just the simple ones though.”

“Mmm, Shun-oniichan’s cooking is delicious.”

“I can’t cook, so I’m really jealous.”

“Shiro too!”

Even though I was just cooking something that was ready-made, Shiro got on board with the conversation and it turned into a little compliment to me.

By the way, when I added sweets to the tea, both of them were happy.

After that, we changed our clothes and started the morning training, but here I discovered a certain fact.

“Sue, do you know what your attributes are?”

“Ah? It’s a healing attribute.”

“No, no matter how I look at it, it’s a holy attribute. What’s more, it may be a specialized type.”

When we were all doing the magic cycle, all of us were surprised to see Sue glowing. The other healer who is also staying at the inn is only glowing faintly. So at first glance, I thought it was completely different. What’s more, it looks like she had hardly been taught magic training until now.

“Both Sensei and Calamity-sama were very particular that it is a healing magic and that I should work hard to make it usable.”

“Calamity-sama?”

“Yes, she is the female magician who I was with before.”

“I’m sure Sue had more talent for magic, so she must have said some nonsense.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised if she was jealous of Sue’s talent.”

I and everyone else agreed.

There is no point in the past, so Sue needs to continue her basic training so that she can control her magic well. Maybe Sue even got a ridiculous ability.

After that, it was close combat training. But Sue started by practicing dodging.

“Sue-oneechan, I’m going!”

“Yes!”

Sue manages to avoid Shiro and Ao’s attacks. Her movements don’t look that bad either.

It is apparent that the environment in which she grew up in and the people who taught her must have been the worst. I think that if she ate well and exercised properly, her movements will be much better.

“-Uoh!”

“Ah-, I’m sorry Sue-oneechan!”

Oh, she couldn’t dodge Shiro’s attack, and the punch landed cleanly on her face. Ao hurriedly casts a healing spell on her.

Looks like Sue has finished her training this morning.

It’s okay. Let’s take our time and solidify the basics first.

“The guild has contacted us. You’re Sue, right?”

“Yes, my name is Sue.”

When we all went to the inn, the innkeeper was waiting for us at the counter. It seems that the guild told the innkeeper about Sue.

“Sometimes, we have to provide emergency protection when there are troubles between adventurers. That is why there are times when there is a sudden stay.”

“I see. Then, what about the accommodation fee?”

“It will be paid by the guild first, but it will be deducted from what you earn later.”

“I’m sorry for all the trouble. Thank you in advance.”

This kind of thing is decided in advance with the inn affiliated to the guild. And so, Sue’s accommodation was already decided.

—But a problem occurred.

“But I don’t have enough room at the moment. Sorry, but is it okay if you guys share a room?”

“It’s okay. In fact, Shiro sleeps with me all the time, so there’s one bed available.”

“Then Shiro is going to sleep with Sue-oneechan tonight!”

“About that, let’s decide later.”

“I’m sorry again for the trouble.”

So, first of all, she moved into our room.

Then I belatedly thought, wouldn’t it be bad for a nobleman’s daughter to be in the same room with us?

After we got to the room, I voiced out my concern.

“Sue, just to confirm, it’s not good for a nobleman’s daughter to be in a room with a commoner, right?”

“I’m an adventurer now, so it’s okay. But when it’s an official one, we’ll have to stay in separate lodgings of course.”

“It can’t be helped this time, but from next time, we’ll make sure to have a separate room.”

I was on the top bed and Sue was on the bottom bed. Shiro and Ao seem to change their sleeping place depending on their mood. At the next inn, we’ll try to divide our rooms into a separate one.

✲✲✲

“Oh, you’re the same age as me them. You need to eat a lot and grow up.”

“Yes……”

And then, to my shock, based on their conversation, I discovered that the innkeeper’s daughter, who had an incredible figure, was the same age as Sue.

Sue is short and flat-chested, so the difference in their figures stood out more. Sue compared the size of her breasts with the size of the breasts of the innkeeper’s daughter and let out a deep sigh.

As I was watching this, I was approached by another person.

“Shun, are you going to take Sue with you to the nomination request tomorrow?”

“Well, yes. I think there might be some work for her to do there.”

While we were at the room, Sue and I already talked about tomorrow’s schedule. Sue was also motivated, so I decided to let her go with us.

If we could finish it all tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be the Sabbath day, so we will have a good rest then.

After we finished our meal, we returned to our room and then I used life magic to clean up everyone.

“Alright, let’s go to bed. Oh-, she is asleep already?”

“Maybe she’s too tired?”

Sue was sleeping soundly in the chair. It must have been because of the tiredness during these past days.

Just when I was about to hold Sue in a princess hug, for some reason, Shiro was a step ahead of me and she skillfully carried Sue in a princess hug too.

“Good night, Shun-oniichan.”

“……O-oh, good night.”

Shiro went straight into bed with Sue and fell asleep.

Though I wondered about what has happened, I went to bed as well.

“Oh Shun, you were just in time.”

After we sold the herb, the Guild Master called out to me from the reception window.

Did something happen?

“What are you thinking? It’s a small matter, it’ll be quick.”

“Understood. Sue and Shiro, please wait a minute.”

「「Okay」」

I called out to the two of them, who were chatting with the others staying in the inn, and then I entered a private room with the Guild Master.

“First of all, how was Sue? Was there any problem when you were outside?”

“None. She was fine talking to Shiro and the others who were staying at the inn. I could see a little smile on her face too.”

“I see, that’s good. I was a little worried because there were signs that she had been beaten up.”

“I was keeping a close eye on her too. It didn’t feel like she was overdoing it.”

I think her laughing with Shiro was genuine, and she didn’t avoid anyone like she has some trauma or something.

Hearing my words, the Guild Master gave me a relieved smile.

“Well, that’s good to hear. Given the content of this incident, I’ll have to talk to you about her from time to time in the future.”

“Yes, I’ll try to keep an eye on her as much as possible.”

“Mmm, I’m counting on you.”

The guild master nodded at my words.

Come to think of it, what about those two?

“Guild Master, what happened to those two in the end?”

“The soldiers of the Margraviate’s territory took them away for questioning. And the guild’s most likely punishment for them is that their license will be suspended for a month.”

“Come to think of it, even if they made that much ruckus, it will only be treated as a first offense, right?”

“Yes, for now. But that being said, people like them will never show remorse so they will always make the same mistake again. I expect that they’ll be stripped of their license soon.”

The Guild Master was sure that the two of them would make some kind of mistake again.

Well, I also think that those two people are going to do something bad eventually. Sigh. I really don’t want to be involved with those two again.

“They are nobles and I’m very well aware that if something happens, it will be a heavy burden for Shun. So, if anything happens, please talk to me.”

“I understand. Thank you very much.”

I parted ways with the Guild Master and returned to the guild shop. Sue and Shiro with Ao on her head were waiting there.

“Shun-oniichan, what did you talk about with the Guild Master?”

“She asked me how Sue was doing when we are collecting herbs.”

“I’m sorry for bothering you. Now that I’ve been treated and fed, I’m feeling much better.”

Sue had a slightly troubled look on her face, but she seemed to be in better shape than she had been in the morning. I’m sure she enjoyed collecting medicinal herbs.

But I need to give her an early rest today.

Now that the classroom lecture is over, we will go outside for practical training. Before that, I bought various things at the shop. Actually, the others also bought some extra strings.

“I feel like I’m going to get a lot of herbs when I’m with you.”

“It’s not a problem if we have a lot of extra. Besides, if we’re going to collect medicinal herbs in the future, it’s better to have them at ready.”

Uhm, this is our first time doing herb collection too, but they are talking about it as if that did not matter. Actually, Shiro and Ao are already gearing up to collect a large number of medicinal herbs.

The instructor, the old man, smiled and looked at Shiro like she is his grandchild.

We all walked out of the guild and went out of the wall and came to the opposite road from when we came to the Southern Frontier. It was a little heartwarming to see Shiro proudly showing off her guild card to the soldiers at the wall.

After about 10 minutes of walking, we arrived at a small forest.

“Since you are all beginners, it is better to start in this forest. There are few monsters here, and it is recommended for children and women.”

Indeed, there is almost no sign of monsters around. It’s also only a short walk from the gate of the wall, so even if something happens, you can run back to the city quickly.

As if saying that the practical part has already started, the instructor, the old man, is already rummaging around near the entrance to the forest. Everyone is gathered behind the old man.

“This is a medicinal herb. If you find one like this, you’ll see that it often grows in clusters.”

“It’s true!”

Certainly, there were other medicinal herbs like that growing around the area where the old man found them.

“Please note that you should only pick the leaves of the medicinal herbs you find. Since these medicinal herbs have a strong vitality, if you leave the roots behind, their leaves will regenerate immediately.”

“I see. All right, I’ll pick a lot!”

From here, everyone starts to collect medicinal herbs on their own under the supervision of the old man.

✲✲✲

“Found it! It’s this, right?”

“Oh, you’re quick to find it. Collect ten of these leaves and bundle them up together.”

“Ye~s.”

Soon after, Shiro found a patch of medicinal herbs. Everyone gathers and collects medicinal herbs.

“Oh, Ao-chan said there are medicinal herbs over there too.”

“It’s true. You two are really amazing.”

Ao also called out to me with her tentacles swaying, pointing a direction. There were indeed a lot of medicinal herbs growing there too.

“Hmm, it’s been a warm winter this year so that is maybe why they grew really well.”

Even the old man expressed his thoughts seeing that the herbs were growing well.

In the meantime, everyone continued to pick lots of medicinal herbs.

“It definitely smells different from the other grasses.”

“If you focus on the surroundings, you’ll see the difference.”

The members of the inn also seemed to have gotten the hang of collecting medicinal herbs, and they were collecting a lot of medicinal herbs as well. The children and women who came with us also collected a lot of medicinal herbs.

“Sue-oneechan, picking medicinal herbs is very fun, right?”

“That’s right, Shiro-chan.”

For me, I thought the best part was that Sue was getting along with Shiro and she is now smiling.

Rustle. Rustle.

“Oh, something is coming!”

I heard something rustling from inside the bushes. However, upon further investigation, I found that it was not dangerous at all.

—It was Ao who appeared.

Ao was carrying a tremendous number of medicinal herbs.

“Oh, Ao-chan is amazing!”

“Indeed. What an incredible slime.”

Ao looked proud as she is praised by everyone. In the meantime, I bundled up the herbs that Ao had picked up by ten pieces.

“Let’s leave it around here for today. The herbs will grow in a week time even in winter, so I recommend that you take a break or do some collection in a different location.”

“Does that mean they grow better in summer?”

“Yes. In the summer, they can be harvested in just four to five days.”

“Oh-, I understand.”

In the end, we ran out of strings to bundle the herbs, so this was the end of today’s herb collection.

Finally, we were told about the cycle of collecting medicinal herbs, and the day came to a close.

✲✲✲

“Everyone collected a lot of herbs huh. There is a shortage of medicinal herbs in winter, so please keep collecting them.”

“Ye~s.”

The unit price of medicinal herbs is low, but it was supplemented by the number, so the transaction amount was still large.

As for the guild, it seems that even though we brought a lot of medicinal herbs today, it was still not enough as we were told to continue doing it.

Needless to say, everyone is smiling at the transaction amount.

In this way, the first collection of medicinal herbs was able to produce good results.

When the time came, we moved to the room where the course on herb collection will be discussed.

As we moved to the room, I heard a whining voice from somewhere, but I tried not to pay attention. Sue on the other hand, flinched the moment she heard that annoying voice. Maybe noticing her emotion, Shiro held Sue’s hand and smiled at her. Sue also seems to have calmed down a bit as Shiro holds her hand.

When we arrived at the private room where we are going to take the course, an old man was preparing various things. Samples of medicinal herbs are laid out on the table.

“Hello!”

“Oh, hello. Please take your seat and wait for a moment.”

“Yes.”

He seems to be a good-natured old man, Shiro is not wary of him at all.

Today’s lecture is about medicinal herbs collection so there are children and women in the classroom as well. A total of about 20 people are here to participate.

“Okay, let’s start the course on herb collection. We will have classroom lecture first, and then let’s go outside to do hands-on medicinal herbs collection.”

“Ye~s.”

Shiro always reply cheerfully, but some people are giggling at her. Of course, she did not mind that.

Then after a short while, the lecture begins.

“There are some sample of medicinal herbs in front of you guys. Please try and find out what are their characteristics.”

“Hmm, there are white hairs growing on the back of the stems and leaves.”

“It smells a little bit. It smells unique.”

“That’s right. There is a little hair-like stuff in most medicinal herbs. They do have a smell too.”

This herb feels like mugwort in my previous life. It has a distinctive smell, like Houttuynia cordata. They used to grow in my backyard.

“Most of the herbs grow at the entrance of the forest, and they need a certain amount of sunlight to grow. Depending on the type of medicinal herb, the place where you can get it is different, so please refer to the medicinal herb encyclopedia for details.”

I see, so it is possible to collect medicinal herbs without going deep into the forest huh.

That makes sense why the rank required for adventurers to do herb collection is also the lowest one.

“But it’s still in the forest. There is a possibility of animals and monsters appearing, so you need to be alert at all times.”

Since we are going into the forest, we are all well aware of the dangers. Even when we were walking along the main road near the forest, we saw wolves and so on.

By the way, for some reason, medicinal herbs can only be harvested in the forest and cannot be cultivated outside. This situation is being investigated by the national research institute.

“Basically, ten leaves make up one herb. That’s why the herb-picking kits come with a special string. Well, we also sell strings alone.”

Some of them took out their herb gathering sets and checked them.

I also gave the string to Shiro and Sue, and Ao and we all looked at the string with interest.

Oh right. Before we actually go to collect herbs, I need to buy a kit for herb collection for Sue and some extra strings as well.

“Shun, Shiro. You still have a little time before the class, can you come with me for a minute?”

“Yes, it’s fine with me.”

“It’s okay with me too!”

“We’ll go with you.”

“Yes, it’s just too sad.”

The others who are staying with us in the inn decided to listen to the story together. We all moved to a private room. As everyone sat down, the guild master began to speak.

“This girl’s name is Sue, and she is the heir of a certain baronial family.”

“Nice to meet you all. My name is Sue, and I’m twelve.”

“I’m Shun.”

“I’m Shiro. This child is called Ao.”

We introduced ourselves to each other.

If I’m not mistaken, the baron is the lowest title among the nobles. The swordsman was the third son of a Count Family, so he treated Sue like a servant.

“This kid has special circumstances, so I was trying to get her away from those two idiots. That’s when they started causing trouble.”

“By everyone’s standards, those two are bad guys.”

Those two were not made as human beings. They must have been spoiled too much.

At this point, I caught sight of Sue-san’s face that was a little bit hidden by her magician hat. There were bruises on her face.

Grr. Moreover, a sound came from Sue-san’s stomach.

Maybe she hasn’t eaten anything?

“Guild Master, can I treat Sue-san?”

“Yes. A woman’s face is her most important feature. Make her pretty again.”

“Also, please eat this. I’m sure you’re hungry.”

“……Thank you.”

Before I did it, Ao began to heal the bruises on Sue-san’s face. Ao treats Sue-san carefully, so she may have bruises all over her body. In the meantime, Sue-san drinks the juice and eats the bread I offered her with tears streaming down her face.

“What we do know is that they assaulted Sue, took her money, and even made her sleep in the hallway without letting her into her room.”

“That’s horrible. For something that absurd to happen.…”

“No wonder she is so tired and dizzy.”

The guild master’s story also made the adventurers staying at the inn indignant.

Yes. It’s completely outrageous.

“I came to the Southern Frontier on the orders of a certain person, and then I was handed over to those two. I didn’t have the option of running away.”

After receiving treatment and eating, Sue-san’s expression has improved considerably.

She briefly told us a lot about her life experience. But with those imbeciles by her side, it is not going to be that easy to get away.

“Can Shun take care of her for a while? Those two are suspected of being violent towards the staff members of the inn so we need to hand them over to the soldiers. But with the privileges of the nobility, they can probably settle this with money.”

“I understand. I have my own feelings for those two, so I’d like to welcome Sue-san into the group.”

“I’m sorry for the trouble but please take care of me. Uhm, also, just call me Sue. Me being a noble does not really matter, I want you guys to see me as a member of the group.”

“I understand. Pleasure to work with you, Sue.”

“Sue-oneechan, nice to meet you!”

Of course, I have no intention of refusing, I decisively added Sue to the group.

Shiro and Ao are very happy to have new friend. Sue also talks to the others who are staying at the inn.

“But I did not really think they are violent as well. I thought they were drunk, so they acted up.”

“Unfortunately, in addition to being drunk, there is also property damage, so I guess that’s why they took the money from Sue. The money has already been given to the inn, so it may be difficult to get it back.”

They were dumber than I imagined.

The guild master also spoke in dismay.

They have only been in this city for a few days, and I can’t believe they already committed such a felony.

I want those two to stay behind the bars for a while.

When we arrived at the guild, same scenario is unfolding once again.

“Why can’t I accept this request!?”

“This is the right request for us!”

“Simply because you don’t have enough rank.”

Two people in flashy clothes are making a fuss at a reception window again.

It seems that they took a subjugation request, but upon registration, they have been rejected by the receptionist for the most basic reason, —their adventurer rank is insufficient.

The receptionist’s face is smiling, but a murderous aura is emanating from her back.

What bothered me more was the woman who is the healer in their party. She looked listless, and she is not even trying to stop the two of them.

Something must have happened between them.

“Okay, the course registration procedure has been completed.”

“T-thank you.”

“We will be giving a lecture in the room where we held the newcomer training the other day, so please move there if you are called.”

“I understand.”

While I was looking at the two people who were making a fuss, the receptionist called out to me. I hurriedly returned my attention to her as she told me that our registration for the herb collection course had been completed.

And before I knew it, standing beside her was the most powerful person in the guild.

“Shun. I know you’re troubled by those two, but for now, focus on the course in front of you.”

“G-Guild Master……”

Hearing the commotion at the reception, the guild master came out. While also concerned about me, the Guild Master turned her gaze to the reception window where a commotion is going on.

“I’m sure you’re worried about that healer, but we’ll be able to do something to help her soon, so she’ll be fine.”

“They’ve already committed a number of violations, right?”

“If the security in the guild is disturbed to that extent, it is not good for the guild or for the Margraviate.”

The guild master is right. If they cause too much ruckus and fewer people come to the guild, the guild’s income will decrease, and the taxes it has to pay to the Margraviate will decrease. Furthermore, if peace and order become even worse, it will only earn them a bad reputation.

“Well, I think it’s time to talk to them.”

“Mmm. It looks like he is going to grab the receptionist by the collar. Ah-, he’s done it.”

“Oh my, caught red-handed huh. Fufu, it looks like it’ll be worth disciplining those two. That healer should take a course in herb collection with everyone.”

The two of them jokingly said that they would grab the receptionist by the collar, but the swordsman really did grab her by the collar. On the other hand, the magician is banging and kicking the reception desk with her foot.

The healer stops them with lifeless eyes. She must have been mentally exhausted.

“You two, stop messing around.”

「「 Eh? 」」

“Whoa, that was so fast!”

Both Shiro and Ao where surprised by the speed on which the guild master moved behind the two who are causing a ruckus.

“I know you’ve been making a lot of commotion at the inn for the past few days. The inn has complained to the guild. Plus, your treatment of this healer.”

“Huh?”

“—How do you know that!?”

Oh dear, so those two have already been causing trouble at the inn. Maybe they got drunk and created a ruckus again.

I’m curious about what they did to the healer.

“For assaulting guild staff members, the two of you will be banned from guild activities until a decision is made in accordance with the guild rules.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! I’m a son of a noble!”

“Me too! That won’t work on me.”

They’re both stupid.

Why are they bringing up their noble status when this is a guild matter?

Not only me, but also the receptionists and all the adventurers in the guild looked at the two of them with disbelief.

“This healer will be protected by the guild.”

“She’s of no use anymore, I don’t need her.”

“She’s too nagging. She doesn’t have any more money, so she’s out.”

“Hiccup.”

What kind of human speech was that?

We should be careful ourselves, maybe they will rob us of our money.

I couldn’t help but feel indignant at the two of them.

Those two were taken to a room in the guild by a staff member. Then the Guild Master brought the healer to where we are at.

We are having a course about collecting medicinal herbs at the guild today. In connection to that, I am looking at the herb encyclopedia I bought the other day.

Hmm, I can’t tell the difference between ordinary herbs and medicinal herbs at all….

I’ll never be able to collect medicinal herbs unless I’m actually taught how to do it.

“Shun-oniichan, what are you doing?”

“I was looking at the herb encyclopedia but I’m going out now.”

“Everyone’s waiting you know!”

Shiro and Ao, who is on top Shiro’s head, opens the door to the room and calls out to me, checking if I’m ready.

Since everyone at the inn started accepting requests together, every morning, we have also been training together in the backyard of the inn even for a short time.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

“Shun-oniichan was looking at the herb encyclopedia.”

“Hahaha, Shun is as serious as ever.”

I joined the others who had already warmed up and start training straight away. First, I sit and concentrates on circulating the magical power in my body. For some reason, other people who can’t use magic are also doing it.

“It calms my mind and makes me more focused.”

—That’s what they said.

The innkeeper, who was watching our training, also told us to continue doing so, saying that it is important to keep our minds in place.

After that, we first divided into two groups. The group of magicians and the others then we started skill related training. Among the people who organized the warehouse together, there were actually two who had magical talent. One of them is a timid-looking healer, and the other is a scout who could use physical enhancements.

“Since I’m a healer, I can’t use offensive magic……”

“Don’t be silly. Having a healer in the party will make a big difference to the whole party’s chances of survival you know.”

The timid healer said that he couldn’t use offensive magic, but the innkeeper said that many would appreciate having a healer. Plus, even if he quit being an adventurer, he can still make a living as a healer.

“Adjusting the speed is hard.”

“But you are getting better little by little!”

The scout also had a hard time adjusting his physical abilities. He is trying all sort of things as he talks about it with Shiro. Whenever the scout does something well, Shiro praises him. So little by little, he’s also making progress in his training.

After that, everyone practiced paired karate. Shiro is originally a beastman and can move quickly, making her the most popular training partner. She is also a kind person, so she is happy to match up with everyone.

Then the training stops there.

We also have things to do afterwards so we usually finish it in about 30 minutes.

“Okay, let’s meet in front of the inn.”

“Yes.”

Everyone sweated lightly so we all need a quick wash up and get ourselves ready to go to the guild.

We are all a little curious about what kind of person will teach us how to collect herbs.

The next day, the warehouse owner went to the guild again to make a request for tidying up a warehouse. But now, it was a nomination request for us.

Same people as the ones who took the request yesterday immediately headed to the site. Based on the experience yesterday, we prepared more cleaning supplies from the guild’s store.

「「「 Good morning! 」」」

“Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you guys.”

Today’s client is a cheerful aunt. She’s a little overweight, but that’s part of her charm.

“Actually, this time, there are some ingredients that can still be used. Can you sort them out?”

“Ao-chan said to leave it to her!”

“Oh, then I’ll leave to little Ao-chan.”

Today’s client mainly deals with fruits, so Ao is very active. The usable items will be shipped immediately, so everyone pack up the sorted items (those that were left after Ao has finished eating the rotting ones.)

“Auntie, what do we do with the sorted items?”

“You can put it in the cart.”

“Got it~!”

“Oh my, Shiro-chan is very powerful huh.”

The carts carrying the sorted fruit are pulled one after another by the people who work at the warehouse. While transporting Ao’s sorted goods, the inside of the warehouse is also being cleaned. After about four hours, the sorting was over, so we decided to take a break.

By the way, Ao digests the fruit that he has plucked.

“We moved right ahead thanks to you. Here, eat this too.”

“Ya~y!”

Shiro is overjoyed when the aunt gifted her some fruit.

After everyone ate their lunch and took a short break, we resumed organizing the warehouse. We already finished sorting the fruits in the morning, so now we just need to finish cleaning up. Usable wooden boxes are cleaned, and decayed ones are dismantled and burned. After that, everyone sweeps the floor and make it sparkly clean.

“Oh my, you really cleaned it up well. Actually, I was a little worried because the output of the group I hired before was not satisfactory at all.”

“Well, in the end, we relied too much on my familiar though.”

“It can tell the difference between good and bad fruit, so that’s not a problem. It’s also impressive that you guys completed your work properly even without magic. I’ll call for you guys again if I need help in the future.”

“Yes. Thank you very much.”

As expected, the warehouse owner kept a close eye on Ao and on how we cleaned up without magic. I guess those people who watched us work are also observing us.

At this point, another person approached us. It was a man with a slicked-back hairstyle.

“Well, I’ve been watching your work. I’d like to ask you to sort out my warehouse as well.”

“That’s fine, but we’re actually going to take a guild course tomorrow. And, it’s only our second day of receiving requests.”

There is a course on herb collection at the guild tomorrow. In winter, the supply of medicinal herbs decreases, so not only the guild but also the whole country needs as many medicinal herbs as possible.

“That’s not a problem. A capable person will do the job carefully from the beginning. And training is very important too. Don’t worry, I’ll ask you guys to do it the day after tomorrow.”

“Thank you for understanding. We’ll do our best.”

「「Thank you! We are looking forward to working with you. 」」

“Un. Same here.”

Indeed. If you do your job well, the next one will come.

I may not have a lot of credibility yet, but I’ll do my best to earn the client’s trust.
