Today's request is a tough one..."

I muttered to myself as I looked at the request form posted at the Molt Town Guild.

On a day like this, let's go to Arcana's herb farm and pick medicinal herbs!　Wait for me, Puddin'!

Behind me, Burgess, who has not learned his lesson at all, is fussing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Apparently, they were having trouble with the amount of medicinal herbs that could not be picked in a day or two at all, and the request had been posted all along.

I guess I'll go to the herb farmer's."

Albus, you son of a b*tc*!　Don't tell me you're after Puddin-chan too!

"No way..."

I was about to run out of some types of medicinal herbs that I purchased three months ago, so I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a work quest while I was stocking up on them. That's about it.

Also, if I ingratiate myself with the landlady in that way. Maybe she would give me some extra money.

But...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It sounds kind of interesting...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I replied.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　Albus, you came later..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Whether it's later or earlier, the last one to choose is you, Puddin'.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Whichever one of you is chosen... there will be no hard feelings, brother.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!　My love enemy is here!"

Burgess began to burn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It turned out to be more interesting than expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The adventurers around him were stunned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hang in there, Burgess!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't lose Albus, too!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They began to cheer him on, cheering him on.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Burgess, the magic swordsman, was so excited that he pulled out his sword and swung it around with flames.

Afterwards, he was scolded by the guild officials like crazy.

Picking medicinal herbs was much harder than I thought it would be.

After all, the whole mountain was a farm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The whole mountain is a farm, and medicinal herbs are already growing all over the place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The work was endless and repetitive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At that point, my heart was already breaking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But Burgess, a strong, middle-aged adventurer picking medicinal herbs next to me, had a disheveled smile on his face from start to finish.

Nearby, Arcana, the mistress of a herb farm, and her daughter, Puddin, were sweating in their rather thin clothing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Their clothing was sticking to their skin with sweat, making them quite irritating.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess is smiling as he watches.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What a pervert.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I said, "I'm sorry, but I'm also....

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm curious, so I glance at it again and again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm just curious, so I keep glancing at it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Picking medicinal herbs is the best!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But after an hour of work, I start to feel pain all over my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Especially my lower back!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had to bend down to pick medicinal herbs, and it was already hard work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After two hours, I was down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I need to take a break.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Archana and Pudding are used to picking medicinal herbs and putting them away in their basket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He had been coming here every day for a while now, so he seemed to be quite used to the work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He glances at me as I head off to take a break and grins, "I'm on top of you!" and smirks at me, which kind of pisses me off.

Don't compare me, an adventurer who boasts of his physical strength, with a man who has zero fighting ability.

Well then, I think it's time for lunch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Arcana said, and Burgess ran out just as if he had been waiting for her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the morning, that's twelve baskets," he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With four of us, we can carry them in three trips.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We just have to do one more. After we get them to the drying area, we'll have lunch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no, my muscles can carry three baskets at a time!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As we are talking like that...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You want me to carry these?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I chant "Warehouse storage (ilompa)" as I touch the basket. The basket was instantly stored in my "warehouse.

Pudding-chan was cheering.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Burgess was quite upset.
