The first day in a nearby town, I visited an ice cream shop that provided a variety of vanilla, chocolate and fruit flavors.
"Please four."
I wanted to eat it alone but the three people who had been tailing me from behind were really troublesome. We ended up having ice cream together.
"Truly cheating sneak out of the inn to eat this alone."
"That's exactly what Cosetta said. My head is frozen."
Elves can eat ice cream.
"Mr Rider, forgive us we shouldn't have blinded you."
I just let out a long sigh, not about the ice cream I wanted to hide but rather I was actually going on a mission to earn money, when I said it Cosetta cried.
"Don't I think that you decided to be unemployed to work, is this a good dream?"
I hit him on the head in karate until he held his head in pain.
"I will not work as you think, my mission is to collect some coins in the river."
I pointed at the spot and they tilted their heads.
"Is there really Mr Rider's money?"
"I'm thinking the same, too" Fel added.
They really don't know anything about this city, I explained that there is a tradition in this city, if someone throws money from the bridge while praying then their wish will be granted.
Every year no one dares to go into the water because the place is deep enough but thanks to me who can use various magic I can do it without difficulty.
They put on a troubled face.
"Um well, not many people have such an idea, Rider is indeed great."
"You're mocking me, yeah!" I shouted at Cosetta and continued.
"This is the only way unemployed like me can survive. Remember 3M, Hitchhiking, Begging and Picking. That's how unemployment survives."
Fel held his head looking sick.
"As far as I am, just so long as you know I've got a lot of coins and that's enough to live life for the next few months."
Last year I came here to do it. While everyone was waiting on the river bank, I who had protected myself with protective magic jumped into the water.
This magic can prevent water from entering and is very useful for taking a walk on the riverbed or sea. Inside there I could see many gold, copper and silver coins strewn about.
"Getting money without working is steady."
I started picking them up one by one into the sack, getting heavier and I couldn't stop laughing.
"Hey, you guys I'm done."
When my head came out of the water the city guards had been there holding out spears towards me.
"What's this?"
"We have arrested you for taking money in our river, please come with us."
I glanced at my three friends who each of them turned their eyes.
"Do you know him?"
"We're just here to see the beauty of the city."
"I think we'll go somewhere else."
"Let's try the view there."
"In other words?"
The three answered simultaneously.
"We don't know him at all."
"You guys?" my yelling.
I was thrown in jail and had to wait for further notice.
Why does something like this happen.
