Chapter 20
Let’s observe another town

(+)Winlard Town; Ricard Inn
“The bed is so soft and fluffy.”
“I feel apologetic towards Mrs. Rinrie, but this inn is indeed on a different level.”
After receiving the certification for C rank from the guild, Kazane and Yumika relaxed at the inn Master had recommended.
“Well, thanks to Master, it seems we have received a somewhat better treatment. I think it’s good if we make this place as our base and then start working.”
“I did say to Mrs. Rinrie that we would stay here for some time, but won’t we return to Conrad?”
“Do you remember what Jirou said? He wants to know how we hunt.”
“Come to think of it…you’re right.” Yumika remembered that Jirou said something like that inside the carriage.
“As expected from the first town of the game, I know this is a bit hasty but it’s better if we also minded about how our surroundings sees us and move to a place that suits us.”
“I guess so.”
“I think we will stop by ‘Conrad town’ when taking the ring to summon the legendary spirit. Then at that time we can greet Mrs. Rinrie.” Hearing Kazane words Yumika nodded.
“Then it’s decided! Today we will rest and tomorrow we gather information! Ah, tomorrow will Yumika go to Masters place?”
“Yup. He offered me to check a good spear he has in stock.”
“Then, tomorrow we will move separately. I wonder what I’ll find…”
This is their first time in this town. Moreover it’s a town that didn’t exist in the game. Kazane’s curiosity was burning up thinking about the town stroll tomorrow.contemporary romance

The next morning
“Ah Jirou, you’re here.”
“Yo Kazane.” When Kazane entered, she saw Jirou talking with two other people.
“Hmm. Jirou, who is this little miss?”
“Perhaps it is your child?”
“I am not that old”
The ones Jirou were talking to are a tough looking man, around 30 and a dark skinned woman with big breasts.
Since it seemed interesting, Kazane followed up:
“Papa, give me my pocket money~”
“Shut up. Do you not earn more than me.”
“Children always want pocket money you know?”
“Even adults are like that!”
Jirou looked at Kazane after fixing his bandana.
“Seriously~, you’re not with Yumika?”
“Yumika went to Master’s place. I think Master wants to show her a good spear.”
“Hmm, is that so…”
Then after thinking for awhile, Jirou looks at Kazane again.
“Now that I think about it, did you come here to do work too?”
“Yup. But, since you said ‘too’ then you too?”
“Well yeah. Since my rank has increased, I want to work hard befitting my rank.”
“I see. Then, please take care of me again in the future, Jirou.”“Jirou. This kid, is she an adventurer?” The woman who looks at her with a curious gaze since awhile ago, couldn’t win against her curiosity and asked.
“Yup, that’s right. I’ll introduce her, this girl comes from the same town as me, her name is Kazane. She also has a partner who uses a spear, named Yumika.”
“My name is Kazane. Pleased to meet you.”“Oh, I am Garra. As you can see, I am a warrior.” “And I am Anna. A magician.&r
Seeing that Jirou grinned and laughed.
“Ugh, why are you looking so proud Jirou?” In this world, people who have occupations as magicians are scarce. To be simple, it is because if they don’t come from a family with a certain degree of wealth, learning to be a magician is impossible.
“Shut up. There’re not a lot of magicians who work as adventurers, so be grateful that I can introduce someone similar to you!”
“Eh? This child, a magician?”
Anna was surprised while Garra on other hand didn’t seem so.
(It should be hard for her if she doesn’t have special ability)
He thinks like that.
“Ah, no. I can use magic, but I am not a magician.”
While saying that she takes out her guild card.
“For now, I named myself ‘magic sword-woman’.” When Kazane changed rank, she also changed her occupation.
“Rank C?”
“No way!?”
But the attention of those people were drawn to a different place.
Since someone is able to use magic and wield a sword, then others can assume they can fight against monsters. It’s also not impossible, even for children to fight monsters designated for subjugation, if they form a party with their parents or their friends.
And after reaching D rank with accumulating quests, they would travel with their parents. That kind of thing is not rare. However C rank is different. Without acknowledgement of the examiner the guild dispatched, it is impossible.
That’s why receiving an official approval from the guild to become C rank, even if their rank is similarly low (TL: D and C), it has an implication that differentiates between pro and amateurs.
“Jirou, why didn’t they get surprised with the ‘magic sword-woman’ occupation?”
“I don’t know what do you expect, but since it is a self assessment, not many people care about it.”
Though Jirou can understand the disappointment in Kazane’s gaze, he coldly told her the common sense of this world.
“If you really want others to pay attention to it, then go get some titles. Afterwards, the guild card will add it as postscript.”
“Humm, so that kind of thing also exist.”
(Actually are you seriously calling fighting together with golem a ‘magic sword-woman’?)
Jirou was more bothered about this thing.
“I see, then Kazane is not an ordinary young girl.”
“Her partner is also quite something, you know. I think even your husband won’t be able to compete against her.”
“That’s interesting.”“By the way, what are you guys doing here? Bullying the newbie Jirou?”
“I wonder how you actually see me. Seriously. That’s not it, I’m forming party with them. That’s my original intention coming here.”“Ah, so it’s like that.”“Well, that said, whether we will or won’t bully him depends on what will happen after this.”
“Of course you won’t, Big sis.”
“Fufu, well even that’s a joke, whether we will form a party with Jirou or not, it’s actually still doubtful.”“Eh?” Hearing the sudden words, Jirou groans.
“Wha-wha-wha-what do you mean?”
(Calm down Jirou)
Kazane advised him in her heart. Of course since it’s only in her heart, Jirou couldn’t hear it.
“Calm down. It’s not like we are dissatisfied with you. However, there’s another thing we must put our priority on.”
Anna said that with a serious expression towards the teary eyed Jirou.
“There’s one thing. We must fight against our friend’s enemy.”
At the side Gaara nods meekly.
“Whether we will live or not after that, is still questionable.”

“I am back!”
Kazane opens the door and enters.
“Welcome back Kazane. How was the town?”
“Hm. The near death Jirou is interesting.”
“? Is that so?” Yumika doesn’t really understand what Kazane said, but for now since Kazane’s mood seemed good, she threw an appropriate response.
“How about you…ah, so you bought it.”
“Well as you can see.”
While sitting on the floor, Yumika polished her new spear looking delighted.
“This spear is superior even by Master standard and not something he will sell in the shop, he said.”
“He…eh?”
While ignoring how Kazane seems perturbed and not recognizing Kazane’s automatic answer, Yumika continues.
“It’s simple and has no decoration, but he still let me buy it with 2000 Kirigia.”
“That’s…”
From today’s information gathering, she also heard about how the public viewed master.
Johnz Batroy. The representative of Zenis firm which controls this whole region.
One of the few people that has an artisan title, ‘Master blacksmith’. Every weapons he creates, even the most worthless, can be sold for 100.000 Kirigia. And once in a while, he sometimes gives his favourite, a rare article called ‘Johnz Series’, personally to people he has close relationships with.
(Since it’s only given to someone he is close with, it’s almost never sold in the market. If Yumika knew the real value of this spear, she might die from shock.)
Kazane sighs while looking at Yumika, who polished her spear zealously.
(Well, ignorance is bliss)

Kazane : By the way, he usually said ‘since this thing is precious, you can’t buy it at the store’.
Yumika : What are you talking about?
Kazane : It’s about you! By the way, how about your new spear?
Yumika : It can cut anything as if it’s tofu. As one would expect from 2000 Kirigia spear, it’s amazing!
Kazane : “…”
