Chapter 13: Let’s Join the Life Guild!

The day after they had received the great sum of money for their work, Shion let out a worried sigh as he looked at Haku eat breakfast at the corner of his eye.

“What should I do?”

‘mogu mogu Are we mogu mogu going mogu to mogu mogu the mogu guild mogu again mogu mogu?’ *mogu = chewing

“What kind of code are you talking in!?”

Haku smiled as he swallowed the meat.

‘The meat here is so good~! Are we going to the guild again today?’

“I was wondering if I should go buy weapons or search for the magic absorption stones.”

‘So, you’ve decided to search for them.’

“A spell that I want to use got sealed. One of them doesn’t seem to be far from here, so I thought looking for it would be okay. But not having a weapon is kind of lonely too.”

‘We have the money so let’s go buy one!’

Shion decided to go to the equipment shop since Haku encouraged him to.

He went inside the shop, leaving Haku to wait outside, and was slightly surprised to see so many customers even though it was morning.

“Getting equipment before going hunting, huh.”

Shion looked at a red curved sword hanging on the wall and shook his head. The blade’s curve was too deep for him to use. Many blacksmiths forged unique swords, but most of them weren’t meant for battle.

Even if it were an excellent blacksmith, there were hits and misses, so the ability to see through them will be tested.

He asked the store owner, who looked to be in his late thirties, if he had any magic swords.

“What’s you budget?”

“A few hundred thousand.”

“That’s pretty hard. It’ll be mediocre ones.”

“I can’t buy it right now, but can you show me the best one in the store?”

The owner nodded and brought out a sword from the back with confidence. The blade was on the thin side, but he could see that the material was good, and it wouldn’t snap easily, and the grip was decorated with gold and small gems.

Flashy swords that seemed like something royalty would like were usually just for show, but Shion could tell that this one wasn’t.

“A magic item. Wind type.”

“You can tell just from a look…? You’re not an ordinary guy. I used to be a mercenary, so I can tell if one is weak or strong just by the way they walk and breathe.”

“Talking from experience, lots of wind types had been in forms similar to this, so.”

“That’s right, and this one could shoot out shock waves made of wind. It’ll take the user’s mana though, of course.”

It was an excellent weapon because one could use it even if he didn’t have aptitude for the wind attribute. After asking for details from the owner, Shion thanked him.

“Thank you so much.”

“Come back anytime.”

As Shion walked down the stairs of the shop, we wondered if asking for so much was arrogant.

To be honest, his heart wasn’t attracted to that weapon. Part of it was because his previous weapon was too strong, but Shion could use up to intermediate wind magic. He felt like there wasn’t a need to use a sword for that.

After he told Haku he couldn’t find anything good, an unexpected response came back.

‘Then let’s go to the life guild. Do you know of it?’

“Yeah, I’ve heard of it…”

‘Fufufu, I’ll tell you all about it.’

The life guild was similar to the adventurers’ guild but most of the quests were for within the city.

There were quests from babysitting children to preparing meals, which were difficult to ask adventurers to do. Housewives and people who weren’t confident strong fighters but have special skills could make money.

“Wouldn’t adventurers make more?”

‘The life guild is connected to the Magic Item Association. The system is a bit special as well. Let’s go take a look.’

It seemed interesting so Shion started walking towards it. It was a fancy looking building made of bricks in a corner of the commercial area, and the atmosphere made it so that it was easy for women to enter.

Inside, there were several front desks separated by boards, and ordinary people were there being consulted.

“W-welcome…”

The man at the desk looked at Haku with fear.

“He’s my familiar, so it’s okay.”

‘Sorry I’m so large~.’

The man’s fear seemed to melt as he saw Haku’s frank attitude. Shion first asked him to explain the rules of the life guild. It seemed to be the following.

Two types of quests, one being from individuals, the other from the guild. The former was mostly helping out, while the latter was gathering items/ingredients or solving problems

Rewards were given in points, not money

Points could be exchanged for ingredients and items. It could be exchanged for money, but the rates weren’t good

There weren’t ranks, but those who were capable were treated better

Registering was easy, but you would get fired if you continued to fail quests

After hearing the explanation, Shio’s heart fluttered. Apparently, the things that you could exchange with points included powerful magic items. As expected from an organization with connections to the Magic Item Association.

When he told the man he wanted to register, he was very happy to hear that.

“There’s been many problems lately so experienced people are very thankful to have. My name is Sablan. I’m forty-two with a wife and children, and I’ve been working here for twenty-five years.”

“A veteran, I see. My name is Shion, and this is my partner Haku. Actually, I’m looking for a sword right now. Can I take a look at the exchange list?”

“Of course.”

Knowing that motivation was important, Sablan showed Shion the list of the items that were currently tradable.

“The list changes monthly. And the items will disappear from the list if someone else trades it.”

“I see…Whoa!?”

Moonless Night Blade Altsaber …… 8,000,000 P

This sword was a famous one, with resistance to darkness magic as well as being very hard to break.

Its cost was very high, but Shion was determined to get his hands on it no matter what.

‘AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!’

Haku, who was peeking over his shoulder, became high tension as well.

2 kg Illusion Boar Meat …… 1,000,000 P

It was meat of a rare monster that was famous for being very tasty.

Although they were looking at different things, strong flames of greed started burning within their eyes. Seeing it, Sablan smiled on the inside, knowing that his plan had worked.

He was quite the businessman.
