39 39. Stone carrying.txt




 Baru is undertaking another job today.
 The Adventurer's Guild's safety survey of the Imperial City neighborhood has progressed, and if you're at the eighth level or higher, you can ask for a job.
 Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to him and he can't leave the Imperial City.

(Good thing things are slowly getting back to normal.)

 He goes about his daily life, thinking.
 Today's job was to carry the stones.
 He carried a stone larger than his head from the second class area to the first class area, wondering if they were building something in the first class area.

'Fuu, fuu.'

 In truth, he has plenty of room, but he's careful enough not to look like it.
 It would be unseemly for the old man to be carrying a stone, out of breath and drenched in sweat.
 It was even more so because there were only men who were proud of their strength around him.
 Unfortunately, no lunch is served on this job, so you'll have to find it yourself.
 It's a long way from Rita's, where I'm always looking after, and there's not much time for lunch breaks, so I had to find a place nearby.
 However, all of the shops in the first class area were expensive, and it was rare to find a place where residents in the second class area would be able to get in without a second thought.

'What do you guys do?'

 When Val asked his companions for reference, they each took out a package of different shapes and colors to show him.

'I brought them from home. They're expensive around here.

 The forty-something tiger tribe man said and the twenty-something dog tribe youth nodded.

''The cheapest one is two hundred copper coins. It's too expensive to be able to afford it.

"There are places that have two silver coins. Two silver coins for a meal ...... I'm curious to see what they come up with, but I can't bring myself to go in there.

 A man of the cattlemen's race says sadly.

'Was it Baru? It was a mistake not to bring it yourself. You might as well get a bite to eat.

 His companions came to him with sympathetic eyes, but he didn't say, "Let's share something with you.
 It sounds heartless, but anyone who could afford to give something to a man like the first one I've met today wouldn't have taken this job in the first place.

'I'll think of something,'

 Val shrugs and walks away with his back to his friends.
 The reason he hasn't brought anything with him is explained by "Can you bring Meena's lunch or something?".
 Meena is basically a good listener, but when it comes to food, he insists that it's what Master Val will be served and he can't leave out.
 He gave up because he didn't even want to ask her to give up the non-negotiable points, so he gave up.
 Even the shops in the first class area are cheap if you're earning as a war god of light, but they only have copper coins in their pockets.

(Either get a bite to eat, or pretend you're wet and make do with it ......)

 Since he has several acquaintances as the God of Light's warrior god, he could at least buy me a meal if he was so inclined.
 After much hesitation, Val ended up skipping lunch.
 Rather than satisfy his hunger, he chose to stick to his life in the second class area.
 He was either dumbfounded by his stupidity or impressed by his wicked willpower.
 At least Vilhemina, who knew what was going on, was the latter, and made dinner a luxury.
