Before going to the guild, I stopped by the arms shop. This is where I bought the short sword the other day.

The purpose was to acquire the skill of a warrior, archery. A warrior has four kinds of weapon skills. After acquiring the skills of sword, axe, spear, and bow, there was only archery left.

I pick up the cheapest wooden bow on the shelf. And then..,

Bwah.

I got goosebumps all over my body. I didn't even know how to hold this bow until just now, and now I know not only how to handle it, but also how good it is.

'...... warrior skills!
'Pa no?'
'Pane'.

I was having such a conversation with Prine,

'If you like, you can try this one too.

The clerk recommends it to me.

The bow is not made of wood, but of a special material that is bound together to make a high-end bow.

When I held it, it was extremely light. It did not feel fragile, but flexible. When I pressed the button on the bow, it folded into three pieces and became small.

'Wow, Ra-kun. Did you break it?
'I guess that means it's easy to carry around.'

I pressed the button again and waved the bow, and it returned to its original shape.

That's great!
'Yes, it's very convenient. It seems to have enough distance and accuracy.
'You can tell just by holding it?'
'I can tell now. Thanks to my warrior job.
'Mr. Ler, that's great!
'Job's the one who's amazing'.

Hold it up, and play the bow lightly with a plink. This is a good bow. That means-- it's expensive.

How do you like it?
'Good. It can be used even if you have to go down to a very deep level, can't you?
'That's what I'm talking about. As you say, it will keep up to 20 levels. It is our best bow.
But they are expensive, aren't they?
'Actually, it's this one, this one, and this one, for such and such a price.

It was half the price of the expensive sword the other day. That one should only last about 10 levels, I believe.
I made a face at him.

'Because my skill in archery is limited, so it's treated as a subarm. No, as far as I'm concerned, it's a waste.
'I see. ......'
'With a mage in the house, there are only a limited number of situations in which it can be used.

Indeed, the warrior is basically a vanguard. You don't see many archers.
But this one looks useful.

Please give me this.
''Thank you very much.''

I also buy a small shield "Buckler" and pay for it.
The main weapon should be given to me by the guild ( ) later, so I don't need it now.
The shopkeeper gave me a pair of gloves for my bow. And some arrows.

When you run out of arrows, please come to our shop. I'll give you a discount.
'Thank you.'

They saw me off with a smile and left the arms shop. Hmmm. This is a good store after all.





Arrive at the guild.
I talk to Anna, the receptionist.

I tell her that I want to change jobs, and she takes me to a back room.

After a short wait, Anna comes in with tea and snacks, and sits down on a chair. She showed me the status once again, which I had already checked last night.

Trap Technique .
Skill: [Blessing of the Witch] Easy to learn magic. Magic effect is increased.


Both Prine and I have gained a lot in our fight against the demons.
Prine has learned 10 magic spells at once. That's amazing.

Rana. And you too, Prine.

Anna says, half-amused.

'Rana, you are already a level 27 warrior, aren't you? That's amazing. That's impossible.
'I almost missed the archery.

I remember now.

'I heard that archery is not so good at warfare.
If you remain a warrior, you certainly don't have much. But I heard that you can learn a lot of things if you become a high rank archer. You see, there are a lot of higher positions for warriors, depending on their weapon skills.
You know, the guild leader, the "Sword Fighter. As I recall, only the higher level of swordsmanship is constantly improving.
Rana, you may be able to choose various higher positions. Well, we won't know until then.

Anna drinking tea.
I'll have some too. Today's snack was cookies. Prine is eating them deliciously next to me.

So, Rana, what's your next job?
'That's the thing. ......'
'Actually, I have some advice for you.
''Yes?''

Anna put down her cup.

'I'd like to ask you to do a guild quest for me.
' "'Guild Quest'?

It is literally, a quest that the guild asks adventurers to do. Even if you are not in a dungeon, you will get experience, but most of the requests are done in a dungeon.

For example, you are asked to gather a large amount of roots of the monster "Cannibal Grass".
For example, I want you to fetch a lot of water from the fountain of recovery.
For example, I want you to cut off a hundred goblin heads.
And so on.

Sometimes private requests come through the guilds.
My father has many plans to awaken his daughter Mary. One of them is to send me into the dungeon to get the "Seed of the Wise". Of course, I'm the one doing it.
And the "information and search for the Witch of the North" is one of the measures he sends out to the guild.
I am sure that high-level adventurers would accept it as a "guild quest".

Since the guild is the one who requests the quest, it is naturally limited to trusted adventurers. Most of them must have reached the 20th level of the guild.

Anna asked me to accept such a "guild quest.
Just yesterday, I had broken through to the 5th level and was no longer a newbie.

In order to accept the guild quest,'' she said.

Anna continues.

'There's a job ( ) that I'd like you to get, Rana, as your level is going up very fast.

Chibiri, and drink tea.
I've never heard of anyone changing jobs to get a guild quest.

What do you mean?

You know," Anna begins.

'The guild holds regular showcases with sponsors such as aristocrats and big merchants.
A show stage, sir?

The conversation suddenly jumps to a point of confusion.

Yes. The higher-ups put on a show using their job skills. It's always a great success! Rana, I need you to help me prepare for that.'
'Preparation?
There is an item that is needed for the 6th level, but there are some conditions to get it. It is a job ( ) and you have to be 'not yet reached the 7th level'.
'Oh, so ......'
Have you ever heard of an item called a Mirage Ball?
'No.'
'What about "The Phantom Thief Mask" and "The Phantom Thief Cloak"?'
I don't know.'

I'm getting some weird strings...

'The effect period has just expired. So I was looking for someone who graduated as a beginner with that job ( ), but I couldn't find anyone. ....... He has gone back to his parents' home. ......''
'So, give me the job ( ),' he said.
'Of course, I won't force you to do it. But I don't know who else I can ask. --Please. I'll get you a lot of money for it. And Rana, I'm sure you'll reach job level 20 in a day.
''Is that all there is to it?''

When I was a Thief, I reached level 20 in a day because of the battle in the 10th layer and the fight against the Assassins.

As a warrior, I hardly hunted mooks to give experience to Prine, but the boss and demon fights brought me up to the level at once.

Without a similar experience in the next job - i.e., 'fighting powerful enemies' - I doubt that I could get up to level 20 in a day... ....

I honestly don't know how you can ask me to fight a demon with that job ( ).

But Anna is very confident.

There will be a show stage, won't there? I think I'll go all the way up there. It's a job that needs to be seen.
'No way, and ......?'
'Yes, yes! You can play a minor role, just join us!


'Are you serious ......? I'm an amateur. ......?
'I'll be fine once I get that job ( )...'
'Yes. ......'

I was stunned, but Anna continued to talk regardless.

The more you use a job skill, the more experience you gain, right? This is especially true for that line of work. The more people you show it to, the easier it is to level up.
'...... it, you don't have to dive in the dungeon'.
''Yes, there is. If it's not a dungeon, the level won't go up even if I show it to you.
'What, if it's not a dungeon, it's not a ......?'

Anna tells him with a proud look on her face.

The stage is on the fourth level of the dungeon. It's an outdoor stage.

Seriously?

No, um, the guests are rich aristocrats and merchants, right?
''Yes, but what?
'I thought only adventurers could enter the dungeon ......? How strong is the magical element or not? ....... And the monsters are ......?'
If you wear the amulet that the guild has prepared, you can spend a day in the fourth layer, and the monsters are even more comfortable because they have guards.
'Do you have customers who come to such a dangerous place ......?'
It's already thriving. Did you forget? This country thrives on dungeons. Everyone loves dungeons. And the aristocracy and rich people are always looking for excitement. If a monster breaks in and fights an adventurer up close, they go crazy.
'Convincing and unconvincing ......'
'So much for my story. Hey, can you give me one day? And you'll get job level 20, right? Maybe.'
'Hmmm ......'

I crossed my arms and groaned, while Prine next to me reached for a cookie, "What are you going to do? He asked me with his eyes.
Instead of answering, I opened my mouth and put the cookie in my mouth. Mmm, delicious. Sweet. But not too sweet.

'...... why do they flirt so naturally?

Anna said something I don't understand. I wonder if they are natural cookies.

I think as I munch on them.

I'll reach level 20 in a day, and I'll get a lot of rewards.

Not bad.
Or rather, good.
After all, I was also attracted to the job ( ) that Anna would want me to become.
Swallowing a cookie and sipping tea, I tell my story.

I was planning to experience all the basic jobs, but to be honest, I was going to leave that one out.
'Mm-hm.'

Anna nodded.
I continue.

But after seeing her move, I reconsidered. I was able to defeat the demon because of Prine and those people.
It's because you did your best, Ra-kun, okay?
Oh. Thanks. You did a good job, too.
'Hehehe.'

He pats Prine's head. She tilts her head happily, looking as cute as a puppy.

'...... why do they flirt with each other so naturally?

Anna said something else that I don't understand. I'm sure she didn't eat the cookies.
I composed myself and continued.

'Although there is a limitation that you can only use it once during a battle, that skill is really great. And so is the other one. For the record, I thought it was stupid, but I was wrong. --That job is strong.

'That's right.

Anna nodded her head without a pause.

It was not a level of fun to be there. That job broadens the range of our tactics to the fullest.
And once they reach job level 20, their unique skills will become even more versatile.

Anna..,

He is a very good buffer that helps to light up your friends, even though you can't do it by yourself. It is as good as a monk or a mage. In fact, it has the advantage of not consuming magic power.

I nodded.

I want to experience all the basic professions. I want to experience all the basic jobs, and the tiers will be getting deeper and deeper. Then it would be better to get a non-combat job as soon as possible.
'That's right. Yes, you're absolutely right. Rana is a smart girl after all.

It seems I was right.
Anna's request is also very timely.
We should not let this opportunity pass us by.

Well then...
Yes.

Anna and I said in unison.

Will you become a member of our group?
I will. Yes...'

The name of the job.

''Clown.''
