I need the money.
　Yeah.

　Me and Aria had come to the guild.
　Me and Aria were facing each other at our usual end of the table with serious expressions on our faces.

　''What shall we do, Aria?''
　What do we do now, Kakel?
　"....If we don't, our place to sleep will be a stable.
　'I don't know!　It's all Kakeru's fault!
　That's everything!　If I'd known your verbal magic wouldn't work on monsters, I wouldn't have gone in front of King Malmedri-san back then!　Soon they were running away from this city, far away from the city!　So you're responsible for it, too!　You've got to be kidding me!　Do you understand?!
　'You've been counting on me again!　I can't believe it!　I can't believe the fact that Kakeru is older and a boy!　And I wanted to get out of there too!　But Kakeru praised me and I just got carried away!　Moreover!　Wasn't it Kakeru's fault that that monster came to this city!
　'　Nuh-uh.


　-- there's a reason me and Aria got into an argument. It was about an hour ago now.
　I'm sure you'll find that you'll find that you'll be able to find a great deal more than you expected. This is the first time in my life that I have received a quest to defeat a monster.
　The guild is unusually quiet, and the other adventurers are nowhere to be found.
　I went to the lady at the reception desk and asked her why.

　''Um, is everyone else gone today?''
　''Yes, monsters have appeared around the city and in the plains and hills a little ways away, so everyone went on a quest.
　'What?　There's a monster out there!
　''Yes, the possible cause seems to be an ancient species, King Malmedri, who came to this city yesterday. The magical power left behind by that monster must have lured other monsters to come here.

　Good job, King Malmedri!　So I get to go on a quest, at last!

　Kakeru-san, would you like to order some quests?
　Yes!

　I replied cheerfully. Even when I was an innocent, innocent elementary school student, I had never answered in such a brisk, energetic way before, and I don't think my eyes had ever shone so brightly before, even when my parents bought me a new game.

　'Well!　If Kakeru-san, the savior, will take the monster defeating quest, I might just wipe him out like Sirius-sama!
　....

　Oh, shit!　Come to think of it, that happened yesterday!
　My sister's eyes are filled with respect and envy as she looks at me.
　There's nothing pleasant about being admired in such a deceitful way for others!
　...this is the time to say it!　I don't want to be called a savior because of a mistake!

　Then I told my sister the real reason why Mr. King Malmedri had left.

　'I thought it was something like that,'
　....

　I never would have guessed. I thought I really fought off the ancient species, this lady. It's obvious that you've been reacting differently than before. We're back to square one. We're right back where we started, my reputation.
　My trust. Well, that's okay. It's not a matter of time before you get your trust back. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's interested in this. It's a good idea to start living the real life of the other world.

　Then, Kakeru-san.
　Yes, sir.
　''To pay for yesterday's meal and to reimburse the guild for the guild's equipment broken by the drunken adventurers I'm asking for 600,000 sari.
　Huh?
　600,000 sari, please.

　Isn't it funny?　What's this?

　Come on, hurry up!
　No, sir.
　What is it?
　I don't have any money.
　You don't have one?
　Yes.

　You don't have any of that!　I only have about 50,000 saris!　What's 600,000 saris?　I was prepared to pay for the rest of the guys' food and drink, but the equipment was none of my business!　
　d*mn it. If I was going to be like this, I should have just kept quiet and been treated like a savior...

　Then please work hard and return the 600,000 sari to the guild for now. .........I can't introduce the work of the judges because such and such a thing happened, and.......oh, how about this quest?　I think you'd be perfect for Kakeru.
　....

　The sister handed me a sheet of paper. I took it with eyes like a dead fish and shifted my gaze to the paper. The contents of the paper were as follows.

　* The quest to defeat *
　Defeating the Thousand Dragons
A Thousand Dragons, said to have lived for 1,000 years, have been reported to have awakened from their deep sleep and attacked nearby villages and towns. Our village may be the next target. Oh please, brave adventurers. Please save us.　May the Saviour come to our city.

　For a quarter of a million sally and a Thousand Dragon I will call 'Savior' in my village.

　"....

　How deep-rooted are you?
　This lady is totally out to get me. It's not zero credit, it's a negative total. She's already broken through the zero point.

　Well I'm going to have a little talk with Aria.
　Yes. Well,

　-- and so it is now.

　'Okay, Aria, let's settle down for a moment.
　''.......... And there's no money to be made by arguing.
　'You're a grown-up Aria, indeed. You're able to calmly analyze the situation.
　'Hmm. Praise won't get you anywhere.
　So, what's the quest?
　Of course it's impossible!　No matter how much I can use my divine power, Kakeru can only run a little faster!
　Isn't that too much to ask?　That's my first skill?　......... well, I guess.　The reward is 250,000 saris, which is a lot of money, but you can't replace your life with it. But still, I think 250,000 is too cheap for killing a dragon.
　'Yes. It's a small village so they must have no money. .... there are other quests, right?
　Do you have one?　They said there were more monsters.
　If Kakeru goes, he's going to impose another impossible quest on me, so I'll go next.
　You're in charge.
　'Humph!　I've been appointed!

　What's up, Aria-chan, you can use it.
　Aria enthusiastically went to the receptionist.........


　He came back with tears in his eyes.

　'It's crazy!　Why can't I take the quest if it's me!　What do you mean, no apprentice adventurer is allowed to take quests?　I'm a god!　It's crazy!　Kakeru thinks so too, don't you, eh?
　....

　This guy's useless.

　You gotta say something, man!　I think it's funny, eh?
　Oh, yeah. Yeah.
　Right!

　Aside from the girl puffing out her cheeks in front of me.
　Now what do we do?　It looks like I won't be able to do the chick sorting job I was counting on....
　As I was groaning and thinking, someone tapped me on the shoulder.

　''Um, I was looking at it earlier, but there's a quest that even a fledgling adventurer can earn if they work a little harder and get lucky...''

　When I turned around, the receptionist who was in charge of Sirius was standing there with a sheet of paper.
