Adventurers can receive quests by registering as an adventurer with the guild.

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

Adventurers can accept quests from the quests posted on the guild's quest board and go on quests that are suitable for their stature.

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

Then...

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

Who orders those quests?

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

It is ...

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

The village head of some village.

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

Or the head of a herb farmer's house.

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

Or the guild itself.

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

And, actually.

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

In addition to registration as an adventurer, there is also registration as a quest orderer with the Adventurers' Guild.

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

It's not surprising, when you think about it.

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

It is important to guarantee the identity of the person receiving the work.

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

But it is also important to guarantee the identity of the person ordering the work, and this is another important role of the guild as an intermediary for work.

When I accompany adventurers on their quests, I must register as an adventurer with the guild.

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

I had registered as an adventurer with the guild.

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

But at the same time, I also knew that I might be asked to collect materials as a merchant. I was also registered as a quest orderer.

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

So, if I wanted to, I could always go to the quest board.

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

If I wanted to, I could post my request on the quest board at any time.

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

Help pick medicinal herbs in the village of Yak.

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

This was my request.

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

What the hell!

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

Burgess, who had already noticed, let out a desperate exclamation.

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

"Client Arcana," then "Client Albus."

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

The quests were posted every day.

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

He seemed to notice the difference in an instant.

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

However, his face, which had been filled with anger for a moment, gradually became grim.

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

Reward: "300 mana per day" → "Reward: 100 mana per day plus bathing in a herb bath (mixed bath)."

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

Albus!　How could you do this to me? ！！！！！"

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

To the boy who is the caretaker of the public bathhouse.

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

The day after I talked to Arcana and the others, I talked to the boy who was the caretaker of the public bathhouse.

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

The bathhouse was turned into a herb bath by mixing the herb powder made by Arcana.

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

The baths were originally for men, but for that day only, they were made mixed so that female adventurers could also enter.

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

Of course. The women of the village would not come during that time, which is usually reserved for men.

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

As for whether or not the female adventurers will accept this quest, that is beyond my control...I don't know.

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

Have a good dream at best. Burgess.

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

Burgess' fuss caused the other adventurers to peek at the request form, saying, "What's this?

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

Burgess rushed to the reception desk and tore off the request form.

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

I got this request. I got it!　I ain't giving it to nobody!

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

Then, me too!

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

Me too!

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

One after another, adventurers tear off their quest forms and run to the reception desk.

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

Adventurers are a dirty bunch.

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

What the hell?

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

Burgess panics.

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

Why?　My own private mixed bath?

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

If it's "my private mixed bath," it's just a one-man bath.

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

Sorry, Burgess. The request is for 30 people. There are 30 copies of the same request form on the wall.

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

What the hell? What?

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

And in no time at all, the 30-person limit was filled.

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

In conclusion.

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

Not a single female adventurer came.

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

That's not so surprising....

Burgesses picking medicinal herbs in anger.

But when she sees her mistress Arcana and her daughter Pudding sweating. Derek.

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

I run between them, storing every one of the fully loaded baskets into my "warehouse"...

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

I carry them to the medicinal herb storage room in Arkana.

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

Then I went around handing out new empty baskets one after another.

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

Sometimes, I poke at the ones who are admiring the pudding.

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

As a quest client, if I see someone slacking off, I send them back to work.

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

Adventurers.

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

They're all dirty.

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

And yet, they are still single in their middle age.

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

All of them, who live by the skin of their teeth in a countryside guild like this, are extremely shy.

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

Like Burgess, they are the kind of guys who wouldn't talk to a woman unless they had a reason to.

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

Burgess is aggressive in a weird way....

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

I'm afraid of what comes after... At least we managed for now."

Thirty burly adventurers pick medicinal herbs in anger.

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

The medicinal herbs in the backwoods, which had seemed impossible to harvest, were almost all harvested in one day.

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

Arcana and Pudding were happy to embrace each other.

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

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

And then.

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

It was time for the fateful mixed herb bath.

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

Since not a single female adventurer came.

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

The possibility that a woman will appear in the mixed bath is infinitesimally small.

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

So, probably.

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

I will be half killed.

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

Incidentally, the order amount from Arcana to me is 270 mana per head.

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

The payment from me to the guild is 110 mana (100 mana goes to the adventurers, but 10% is the guild's margin).

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

The herbs for the herb bath were prepared by Arkana using scraps of wood, so thankfully this time they were free.

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

From that, minus the 30 mana I pay the manager of the public bathhouse for the cost of the bath.

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

My profit for the day was.

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

130 mana x 30 people = 3,900 mana

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

That is.

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

"3,900 mana for a half-kill..."

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

It's true that I made more money than I would have as a guide or baggage handler, but....

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

"Huh..."

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

I was quite depressed when I thought about what would happen next.
