Five Shades: Supporting Them In Isekai !

Chapter 5 - They call me Junma the Hard Worker!

— Few days after quest giant hedgehog

"Want to take another quest?"

"Do you want to kill me...!?"

Erena said something like that. Doesn't he know, if my mentality was down because yesterday.

Oh right, when I found out Erena's Darkness of Javelin skill, I understood why the hedgehog was only after me.

Actually, when hit once Erena's spear attack. The hedgehog would turn into an undead, and consider Erena as his master.

The condition is, the enemy must die in one attack, and the hedgehog, which in fact is a low monster, dies with the attack.

The problem should have been solved there.

Should have...

But because we ran away, let alone I brought Erena look like I kidnapped her.

Perhaps the hedgehog's thought was, his master was in danger, so he was only interested in chasing me.

What a stupid excuse, that almost got me killed.

"I don't think taking a quest is the thing to do in the meantime. We need to find a safe way to get the money."

Me, Erena and Mekata were inside the guild store. Think about what to do next.

A few days earlier, I got a job as a fruit seller. Although not much, it was enough to buy food in the tavern.

As for the residence, I still hitchhiked in the Mekata mansion.

You know, that guy was really nice.

"Then what now? It'll take longer to buy my hero's weapon if it keeps this up..."

"You, you didn't do anything useful from the start. Even when I was working, you were lounging in the mansion. You actually want to help, don't you?"

"Yourf..."

That's what he did when I scolded him. It's always like that.

"Hey, Mekata.. What with only four heroes can not be? I think Erena will interfere with their progress to defeat the immortal monsters. I think that idiot kid better not join the heroes. I'm worried about the fate of other heroes if Erena joins..."

"Hm, you're right."

Mekata justifies my irresponsible words.

I know, a little Mekata already understand the nature of Erena, but only a few days together.

She was a girl whose words could not be trusted. The girl whose every move she made always caused trouble.

I still can't believe she's the same girl that used to run me down in school.

"Why are you talking to me like that, my heart hurts you know..."

"It's not that Erena, what I'm maxing out is, you better master your powers first, so that when you meet other heroes, you're not labeled as the weakest."

"–Oh, so yes..."

She, is a girl who is easily lied to, even Mekata who is bad at lying can deceive her.

"Anyways, I'm going to keep taking part-time jobs. For a hunting quest or something, I guess I'm still traumatized. Well Erena, at least you can be a little useful."

"I'll help you!"

"No, there's no need. You've given us a place to live. I heard from Felix, you paid half the original price. So thank you, let me and Erena pay the rest.

"A pervert like you can think like that too, hm."

"Please stop calling me that when I'm in public."

"Alright, Jhunmhaaa..."

— We are out of the guild store.

I went towards the blacksmith, whereas Erena and Mekata went to take the quest, just not the hunt quest like yesterday.

(Note Blacksmith: Blacksmith)

"Welcome...!"

"Yo uncle, can you find me an armor plate that matches me. Ah, it's just cheap, light weight."

"Ah, I don't think there's any armor like that. Even if there is, it can cost millions of cassels."

"Then, what's the solution? My physical stats are too low to carry heavy armor."

"How come? Even all the beginners who bought armor from me never complained about this matter."

I know I'm weak, but when I hear myself weaker than a beginner it sounds kind of...

"May I see your union card?"

"Attent."

I gave my card to uncle blacksmith.

"Hoh, all your stats are very below average except this one."

The uncle showed me something that was on my card.

It's a new stat of mine that even I haven't noticed.

It says Agility.

Only that status has a high enough point of all my statuses.

Agility, it is an advantage that is centered on dexterity, dexterity, and has an advantage in the field of intelligence.

So the point is, I'm just a little adept in a field that's not fighting.

"Your agility is a little high here. I suggest you take the priest job."

"Sorry, thank you."

Thatvs right... Which main character has a healing and supporting job?

...

There may be, but the priest job doesn't really describe me.

I want a cool high-level job.

"Oh, I remember.. Instead of buying armor, wouldn't you rather remodel your clothes?"

"What's that?"

"Ah, but it's very expensive..."

"Wait, I don't understand."

"Oh sorry, I'm saying you can put magic status in your clothes. It wasn't armor, but there was a status that made the clothes have extra durability like armor."

"That seems interesting, well I want that."

"I'm just a blacksmith, if you want, you can go to the magic shop and remodel your clothes. But yes, as I said, any status will cost you a fortune."

"Ah, again a matter of money..."

"Alright, then I'll just take the silver plate gloves. Thanks for the info!"

— Out of place blacksmith...

"Ah, very tiring..."

I was sitting on a garden chair beside the lake.

While occasionally looking at the beautiful sky in this other world...

"Ah, I've never thought about the lack of money before..."

You know, I live far apart with my parents. They were too busy working, and even when I decided to leave, they had no problem with that.

Well, I'm not having a problem with it. They send more than enough money once a month.

I can buy video games, manga, and light novels as I please. It is a glamorous life...

But now I feel real life.

Teenagers inexperienced with the world of work like me, must live in a world that looks like this colossal era.

Just imagining it makes me lazy.

Well, actually I have a choice...

Not to work and to depend on Mekata forever, or to work for a minimum wage, but independently.

Idlers like me will certainly choose the first solution. But like the other main characters, I don't think it's true.

"All right...!"

I've found the answer...

Taking quests from bulletin boards, endangering myself with monsters like other adventurers, and if lucky I can get a harem here.

You know, I'm pretty good looking for a loser.

"My story in this alternate world begins...!!"

"Extheem..."

The middle-aged angler who met me several times cleared his throat.

(Note: The old woman is the same woman as the one who used light magic to repel the porcupine undead a few days ago)

"Do you know, all the priests in this town, including me, are learning magic called the inner reader?"

.

.

.

I kept looking deep into the sky, and walked coolly away from that place.

After some distance, I covered my face while shouting inwardly...

"Akhh... bashful...!!"
