Chapter 21 - Continuing my talk with Milli chan

Chapter 21

Continuing my talk with Milli chan

(Like I said I never did that...

So about the adventurer card, what is written on that card.)

Currently I am being accused by Milli chan while I am trying to know about some common sense here.

I hope I don't become wanted as a criminal because of her false charges.

(The card? They only give a tag, a wooden one for beginners, that can be tied to the neck and it has name of the person and his birth place name.)

So there is no card or anything with status.

I don't think that even if I ask dumb questions of common sense from her, she will get suspicious.

Infact she is acting all smug giving me the information. So let's ask all about it.

(I see. So is there a way for adventurers to know their abilities and stuff? Like, if someone can use magic and all)

(what are you saying Onii san? every person knows of their abilities since childhood at the appraisal ceremony done at 7 years of age....

Of course sometimes people acquire more skills through training, but it's very hard...

OH! maybe you acquired peeking skill Onii san...

You can go to the Syndell to get it checked. Hehehe)

Syndell seems to be the name of place where appraisal is done.

But seriously this girl! But appraisal ceremony huh.

Let's get that done if it's done in a concealed manner.

Otherwise if my appraisal somehow shows that I was an otherworlder, it might create problems.

(So the appraisal ceremony only tells about skills huh?...

Or can I know something else too?)

(Of course it tells about skills. What else do you want to know Onii san?...

It's not going to tell you about your future wife you know.)

Her sarcasm is increasing with every line she speaks.

(So where do they do this appraisal, and what exactly is the process)

(That will be at the Syndell....

Either a sister or a priest will do it for you....

But you will have to give 1 silver for it as donation....

They just touch your head and recite the spell...

Then they write your skill and give it to you. That's all I know)

So Syndell is actually what they call the place of worship here.

(Do they leak your skills to others?)

I hope she does not get suspicious of me asking that. But she is all I have, and can do nothing else.

(What are you worried about Onii san?...

Your will not be punished for having peeking skills. Don't worry...

But why do you want to get appraised Onii san, didn't you get it done when you were 7?)

(Well I come from a remote place you see....

I didn't know about it then and they did not do that there.)

(Really? you come from such place Onii san....

And here I though, you were some good looking runaway kid of a rich family or something.)

What? Did I give such impression?

This girl is quite a menace in many ways.

Also about appraisal, it does not seem like they keep any privacy, so its better to wait for my scan to level up than going to Syndell.

Moreover, since they have to touch and recite a spell to appraise people, it doesn't seem like I have to worry about people appraising me without me knowing.

But maybe there might be some people there with chant omission or some other appraisal skill like my scan who can do that.

There is also a possibility that a magic tool of such caliber might be there.

After all, after seeing this telepathy magic tool, anything can be expected, so I have to be alert about it.

(Coming back to adventurers, do they earn enough in that profession, or is there some other better profession for making money)

(Onii san, I really worry about you, you know?...

Even I know more things than you....

If you want to earn money onii san adventurers make it a lot, but it depends on their skills...

Also they put their life on line. So it's better for weak people to do other jobs...

And if you really want to be an adventurer then I have no choice but to guide you...

I will even take you to the Syndell to confirm your peeking skills...

But only if Onii san treats me to a cone of chocolate honey ice cream)

What a sneaky girl. But it's a little price to pay.

Also since she is like a sister and I also enjoy her company.

(Deal. But do you not have to take care of store?)

(No, mother has already done having lunch and I have to go to Oji san's shop to buy ingredients for tonight's dinner you know.)

What? I looked around and to my horror I saw Martha san standing near the door to the inner room with a suspicious look on her face.

I hurriedly bowed to the Mama bear and formed a telepathy connection with her.

(Good afternoon Martha san, I was asking Milli chan about the way to adventurer's guild.)

(Oh! Yeah good afternoon....

Did you have your lunch yet Ray Kun?..

If not how about I give you some as a special service, just for today?)

(Oh Will that be fine? If so I will be very grateful since I heard that the food here is absolutely the best.)

(Oh my my, then we surely have to let you have it right...

Just wait here on the table and I will get it for you. )

I took a sigh of relief when she was gone.

Seeing me sighing Milli chan laughed at me, and came near me with a mischievous smile. I connected her to telepathy.

(What are you laughing at?)

I asked.

(Nothing. You got scared of my mom LOL~)

Really that face and her personality donot match at all.

Talk about devil in angels clothing.

(So, do you not have to take permission from your mother to go with me?)

(What are you saying Onii san?...

I thought since you were a peeking pervert, so you would be more smart than that....

Of course, Mom would not allow me to have ice cream....

You don't even know the basics of sneaking out....

Let me teach you ok...

I will go on errand to buy ingredients....

And you will go separately and we will meet at the Moomoo bakery shop)

Wow, she is definitely a mischievous child.

Planning such things.

(Well Ok. I just hope your Mom doesn't find out or I may be thrown out of here you know)

(Don't worry even if she finds out, mom will only scold me and never do anything to customers.)

Seems like that has happened before. She seems to have developed skills of extortion from the customers.

Maybe she will become a gold digger in future. I pray for her future husband.

(Milli chan, do you always get yourself rewards like this from customers.)

(Of course not Onii san, you see I have my secret ways of desecrating non dangerous customers you see. And Onii san is one.)

What that might be?

Maybe from my behavior she deduced that I would not harm her.

But even so she cannot be always be sure.

I worry that someday she might misjudge someone and something really bad might happen to her.

(Milli chan, its dangerous you know....

I know, I should not be one saying this but sometimes there are people who are really well at hiding their bad intentions.)

(Oh! Is Onii san worried about me....

I am happy you know...

Nobody actually worried for me before...

But don't worry onii san, we bear beast man have something really convenient...

Our nose can smell when a person starts thinking of harming us in any way...

So I am careful. That is the reason, why mom allows me to be free spirited.

I am sure she already has an idea of what I am up to every day.)

Seriously. I definitely heard that bears have strong smelling power, even 5 times as that of a blood hound.

But I did not think it would become such a quirk in this world.

(Is that so? Still don't go overboard Okay...

Because if something happens to you, your parents will be sad and blame themselves.

You don't want that right?)

(Yea....you are right Onii san ...

Maybe this will be my last time I will have fun like this.

How about this, if Onii san promises to treat me once in a while, I will stop extorting things from other people.

How about it?)

A once in a while treat huh.. Never thought that she would say such things. What to do now?
