Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Riel. Are you awake?"
Geck! Geck! Geck!
Hmm, disturb sleep just you Shin.
I squirm in search of a comfortable position to go back to sleep. The air feels cold in the morning. My whole body was completely chained with this very beautiful mattress. It feels like a bed at home.
"Riel!"
Shin suddenly opened the door and entered into the room.
Just sec...
I got up from the bed and picked up the gun I had placed near me. The muzzle pointed straight towards Shin's face which was still holding the doorknob. My other hand covered part of my body with a blanket.
"How many times do I have to say, don't go into a room if there's a girl!"
"Wow, wow wait a minute! You didn't say when I called. I'm afraid something's going on with you." Shin defended himself. His face looked tense at the end of my gun.
"Thank you for your concern, Shin Raiden. If that's the bandit who wants to kidnap me, then he's the one I'm gonna kidnap."
"Yes, yeah, I know you're strong enough to protect yourself. But you can't be too confident."
Cih, now he's patronizing.
I got out of bed and stood by the window. After stretching for a while, I tidied up my messy hair after sleeping.
It doesn't matter if the guy is watching me or not. Right now my condition is not as bad as it was.
"Hey, Riel. I want to ask you something." Shin was still in the doorway. He really didn't move and kept watching me.
"Why? If you keep looking at me like that, both of your eyes will change positions."
"I don't care about that. I wanted to ask, did someone enter the room last night?"
"Hmm?"
How did he realize it? I cleaned up the obvious mess last night. Or maybe there's something I haven't tidied up and she's aware of it?
"Where did you conclude that? I slept well last night. No one can enter because the door lock is just you and me holding it." I denied it for some false reason. I don't like to lie, but if necessary, I'll try not to get caught.
"No, it's okay. I'm just worried that if you sleep too well, even the goblins that sneak in you might not notice."
"Go-goblins!?"
My favorite green monster. He is very smart and dangerous, so I like to fight with them.
"That's it. I want to shower immediately and go to the guild."
"What about breakfast first?"
"I'd rather have breakfast after the shower."
That way, I take a shower and continue breakfast with Shin. It turned out that the owner of this house quite well had allowed me to stay and get the same ration of food as Shin.
I remember Clara. What did he eat for breakfast this morning? I hope the carrots are fresh.
After finishing getting ready, the two of us went towards the adventurer guild.
Since from today the Nawa Dungeon will be closed, and it is impossible for me to go to the Nugul Dungeon if there is still Shin with me, then today we will take the request. In accordance with the damn command of God Aff, and the white-winged woman last night, namely the request to village–became the savior of the cat.
***
I was in the middle of the guild building, staring at the notice board and looking around for specific requests. Of course it is not an easy thing to find a request to save a cat in the village.
Most of the village-related requests, are very boring requests for adventurers like me. Help harvest, search for farm animals, or guard the village. Not all requests are challenging.
I was still standing there, until Shin looked bored waiting for me to find a suitable request.
"Did you choose him for a long time? What about the demand to hunt wolves, or eradicate goblin nests? It doesn't seem too hard for a girl like you."
"It's too easy, just a waste of time."
Shin breathed a sigh of complaint.
So far I have not found any specific requests. So it looks like it will happen under any circumstances as long as I am in the countryside. So in short I can take any request from the village, then find the cat there.
All right, I'll approve of that choice.
"We'll take this request!"
I took one of the papers from the notice board, then showed it to Shin.
[Emergency requests!
Rank: C
"Help us harvest the garden before the wild animals of the forest ruin everything."
Location: Juna village, home garden in the north direction from the village entrance
client: Bonier
Rewards: 20,000 Nira
Deadline: Soon, not tomorrow]
"This request can even be completed by children." Shin commented.
"Alright, we take this request and head towards Juna Village!"
"Huh,"
I went to the reception desk of the rabbit, then confirmed the request. Clara's face this morning looked full of excitement. Don't worry Clara, I will definitely win the competition between adventurer guilds later, and your salary can be enough to buy fresh carrots every day.
"Be careful on the road" Clara told us.
After that we exited the guild, and rented a horse carriage to Juna Village.
***
We finally arrived at the village after about an hour's drive. The cost of riding a horse carriage to go home and go is 4000 Nira. If in total the result with income from this demand later, then the net is 16,000 Nira.
This place can not be said to be remote, but the people here look very different from other villages. It seems like this village retains its naturalness.
The girl was very excited about running this petty request. He ran straight to the client's house. The villagers were watching us, but they were used to the adventurers. So they're not very suspicious.
I followed Riel to the client's house. He was gone first from sight. I don't understand him any more. Strong enough to fight high-level monsters, homeless, full of ambition, but taking on a C-rank request. That was enough for his level, yet there was me within the party.
Moreover, I always find awkwardness when with the girl.
After walking for a while, I reached the client's garden. Riel was already there and she was chatting with the client. If it's not wrong, Bonier. Men who are old enough, and wear farmer-style clothes.
"How about, Miss Riel? If there's both of you, one of you better help me harvest these plants, and the other one's watching the wild animals from the forest." Say that Client.
"Alright then, I will search and chase away the wild animals, while Shin will help uncle to harvest."
Wait for. Wh-what?
"OKAY. Then let's go to the young man's garden." The man led me to a garden not far from our place. But...
"Rill-riel! What do you mean?"
"Spirit Shin! I'm not gonna let those wild animals bother you about harvesting!" Riel ran away towards the outskirts of the village while waving her hands.
That girlu.
Why does that girl really look like her!!!
I was in the garden, helping Uncle Bonier harvest his garden.
The plants he planted are quite diverse according to the season. Mostly I helped harvest the potatoes that are a staple in this area. After that there are some vegetables and fruits that are ripe. Sure enough, I saw some traces of wild animal attacks on a number of plants.
Not only that, seeing the two of us are helping to harvest and maintain the garden from wild animals, other residents also harvest their garden results.
Although there are some who are not ready to harvest, but the residents do not want to wait longer and make the results of the garden as a meal for pests or wild animals. Some of them decided to take part in harvesting garden produce on the same day.
I helped them all.
Until the sun goes down, I continue to help almost all residents harvest their garden produce. Luckily only the garden results are not as much as the crops. With the help of my strength, I was able to solve everything once the sun sank.
Phew, really exhausting.
I was fooled by the girl and worked on this exhausting part alone. While he only guard or hunt wild animals around the village.
I rested in one of the people's huts around the garden, and Riel arrived shortly afterwards. His face looked lethargic with a lot of dirt around his body. It seems he has also tried enough.
Fighting wild animals might still be too much for him. They are usually in groups. He fought very hard. It was visible from her very dirty clothes. I want to know what wild animals he met.
"Are you okay, Riel?"
"Well," the girl showed her thumb.
"What about your part, Riel?"
"I can't find a cat around the village."
...
...
...
"Riel,"
"Yes?"
I got up, and took out my sword slowly which was accompanied by a special sound from the friction of the blade and the sheath.
"He-hey, Shin? W-what, what are you gonna do?"
I slowly approached Riel with a demonic look and a dense killing intent.
"Shinn-shi. Wh-what happened to you?"
"I helped almost all the people harvest their crops, and you went around the village just looking for cats?"
"Tu-wait a minute. I, I have driven the wild boars away from the village! Wasn't your harvesting process so smooth?" Lying with a sinless smile.
"Did you need all day just to get rid of the boar? I'd rather you spend all day looking for a cat."
"Okay, okay I'm sorry. I'll explain everything."
"I'll hear your explanation after I've punished you all night!!"
"Toooo!!"
Riel ran away quickly from me. But I also did not lose fast chasing after him even though this leg was numb.
"I'm sorry!!"
We kept chasing around the village once or twice.
The sun was gone completely to coincide with the two of us who were lying in the middle of the village.The residents took us home by horse-drawn carriage to the city of Ciatar, until arriving at the inn.
They gave us some money which if collected the amount turned out to be quite a lot. The total is about 120,000 Nira. I was a little calm getting enough money from the hard work earlier. Although it was still a long way to pay for the ordered weapons in Grandpa Chang Ku.
Meanwhile, Riel had not been out of the bathroom long enough. He knew I was going to teach him a hard lesson because of his selfish actions earlier.
What the fuck. Taking demand is low but exhausting, only to find stray cats in the village. It is still better to explore the Nugul Dungeon. The income was less than a day of exploring in the dungeon, even it was more tiring than bartarung against monsters that were only occasionally encountered in the dungeon.
"Are you still in there a long time, Riel?"
"My stomach hurts. You go to bed first, it looks like tomorrow morning will be healed."
"You know, my hands are so itchy itchy to slap something until it's so hot red."
"J-don't!!"
That's next.
I'll keep waiting until he gets out of the bathroom.
Even so, from last night until now the aroma can still be smelled by me in this room.
Aroma angel.
