Five Shades: Supporting Them In Isekai !

Part 3

We returned to the city and headed for the guild to take our pay.

Yep our pay.

The request is, five camelizzards worth a million cassels.

But all we got was one, so we only got two hundred cassels.

And it hasn't been shared by three people...

After getting paid, we ordered some food and drinks and sat down at one of the empty tables. It's near the counter.

These Guilds were very crowded visitors lately. Lots of different unique people, hanging out in this place every day.

"Hum, you're right established. How about we take out a hunting quest with a powerful monster!?"

"Why do you always suggest taking those dangerous quests? You are a hero, so no monster can defeat you? Then what about me...? Forget it, I won't take any dangerous quests before I get something to strengthen myself."

"Well, if you come with me and Mekata to the capital, maybe your life will change due to the title of hero's maid. People must admire you."

"I think drinking poison is much better..."

"I have a poison-making skill, if you want?"

Mekata added a few worthless words.

"Akh, I need money...!!"

"Here, you can take my pay, Junma..."

Mekata was being nice again.

"No, no, no. That's not necessary. Technically, you found the camelizard and we just hitched a ride. Only with me who also got the part, I already thank you."

"Oh so, you're really good Junma..."

It is you who is good, you good man.

Speaking of Mekata, I was curious about his research work.

If not mistaken, he was an alchemist who liked to gather ingredients, research and make them potions or such .

His job was probably like a researcher more or less.

I don't think it's life threatening, is it?

I immediately asked him, because I thought the job was right for me. And you know what he answered?

"I work on plants that live in areas with high levels of toxins, or places with unhealthy air. Sometimes I also scoured the dungeon to research all the plants that lived in it. Then, the results of the research in the form of the herb, I sold it to stores that often supply my potions."

"Oo-oh, so that's it."

It turned out that it was as dangerous as hunting down powerful monsters.

I pulled my thoughts just now, and I apologize to all the alchemists in this world.

"Ah. I'm tired. I want to go back to the mansion."

"Well?"

"Rest! Tomorrow I must get ready to go in the morning blind."

"Hooh, it's up to you. Mekata and I will be here a little longer."

"Ah sorry Junma, I think I will also go home and rest early."

"Is that so? Well, then."

The two of them then left me alone in the crowd of the guild.

I thought, I think Mekata and Erena have been together lately.

Does Mekata like Erena?

If that's true, I feel sorry for Mekata. Indeed, Erena is physically attractive.

She is beautiful and looks beautiful when she is silent.

But unfortunately most people don't see the other side of themselves.

It sucks, gloomy, furious, resentful, hateful, being the one moment you've heard him spit out scathing words.

He's very good at mocking you know...

As I was thinking so while drinking the slimenoid, a servant girl approached me and sat down in an empty chair near me.

When I glanced, she was Alice.

"Yo Junma, why did Mekata and your girl friend leave without you?"

"Ah, they have both business..."

"Two maxutmu..."

"Eh...!? No, no. I bet they just came back home together. Turns out you can think of Alice too..."

"Not so huft..."

"By the way Alice, does this guild accept male servants?"

"Eh, no. Why are you asking that?"

"Ah no. I just need a steady job."

"I thought you were working as an adventurer. You signed up yesterday for the union, didn't you? Then why not just take the quest?"

"Well, even if you say so, but an adventurer with a low stat like me would be killed easily, only with a weak monster."

"What's the lowest?"

"You see for yourself."

I reached into my pocket, and gave my union card to Alice.

As he looked at my card, there seemed to be a strange expression he was showing.

I don't know, what is an expression of wonder? Surprised? Amazed? To be sure, he was surprised.

"Even you say so..."

"Akh, not my max mocking, it's just um. anu."

"Haha, no problem. I also accept that I am weak. But is there any way that a weakling like me could run a request paper?"

Alice returned her union card to me.

"Well it could be, if you can find a strong party, and join it."

"That's obviously impossible..."

In the afternoon, and I walked home to the mansion.

"Life is this hard..."

I got a job while I was a guard at the public bathhouse.

All you have to do tomorrow is search

work again and again. Perhaps this was more difficult than usual, as Mekata intended to accompany Erena to the capital.

You know, I'm usually helped by him and I can find a job faster.

But starting tomorrow, I'll start moving on my own.

—The next day—

"Most Junma..."

A voice whispered in my ear.

"Most Junma..."

"FLEET JUUNNMMAA...!!"

"Hoaayah...!! You want to kill me, right!?"

My ears and heart reacted quickly because of that shout. Once again like this, I'm sure my life will be half gone.

Felix had it. It didn't stop there, when I wanted to go back to sleep, he was shaking my body violently.

"Wake bang!"

"Go, I want to sleep longer today."

"Geez, how could sister Erena have a lazy friend like you..."

"Hey, don't bring up my relationship with that guy. We were not friends, just happened to be on the same issue. Now don't bother me, good night."

"Junma's real tension when she's asleep. Well, whatever. Oh yes, sister Meka cooked more food before leaving this morning. He said to breakfast."

"Hmmm..."

"All right, I'm gonna go first. Don't forget to tell Lilya to lock the door when you want to leave, by the way..."

Felix came out and left my bedroom door open.

It sucks that when I wake up like this, I find it hard to go back to sleep.

Inevitably, I must rise from the most comfortable bed in the world.

"Akhs... My body aches all. Where is everyone?"

Then a shadow passed in front of my door.

It must be the guardian spirit of this mansion. Well, I'm still a little shocked because I'm not used to it.

"He– hey...!"

After a few seconds, the shadow returned and entered my room. It turned out to be Lilya, one of the ignorant spirits who guarded this house.

"Oh, Junma, what a surprise. Did you call me?"

"Um, here... Do you know where everything is?"

"Everyone, what do you miss, Mr. Mekata and Miss Erena?"

"Mr..."

"They went to the capital remember?"

"Huh!? They're leaving?"

"Before sunrise, they have left the city..."

"So they didn't wake me up..."

"Are you sure your name isn't Junma the senile Mapan? My master has woken you up a few times, but you're still sleeping..."

Hm, I'm trying to remember...

"HOI MAPAN SLEEPY WAKE UP...!"

"Hey Junma, did you take us to the exit of the city?"

*scorch

"Hey Junma! Are you sure you don't want to drive this beautiful hero? Fuahaha, you're very much at a loss if you miss this opportunity..."

"WHISPER LO GIRL JABLAY! GO AND GO SONO! YOU WILL DIE IF I STAY ASLEEP!?"

"Ah, I remember..."
