Life in Another World With Narration

6 – The girl with animal ears

When you think of reincarnation in another world, there is the first job that comes to mind.

He is an adventurer.

The most promising job in the world of swords and magic, and the very dream of those who wish to reincarnate in another world.

A job that combines ‘fun’ and ‘income’ by receiving large and small requests from the guild and building reputation and wealth.

At first, there was a time when I only vaguely thought of the good things.

But being an adventurer wasn’t something everyone could do.

For everything, there are minimum necessary things.

If you are going to open a restaurant, you will need cooking skills, building or rental costs, ingredients, cooking utensils, etc.

Similarly, if you are going to be an adventurer, you will need things like swordsmanship, magic, basic equipment, and basic physical strength.

Adventurer?

I am a person from another world, bare-body and with nothing on my body. Starting today, I will become an adventurer! It was absolutely not something that could be said to have been done.

Did your ancestors buy you swords and armor?

After going through some trouble crawling into church wearing nothing but rags on the street, I became a terrible realist.

If I could go back in time and meet me, I could tell you the same thing as the narration without hesitation.

If you come to this world with that kind of mindset, you will die without being able to do anything.

『Yoona finally learned the strange skill of throwing harsh words at her past self through self-objectification.

With such actions, he felt that his current self was definitely better than in the past.

But as everyone knows, now he has only done some self-reflection and has not done anything yet.』

That’s right.

So, you’re going to work hard from now on.

Anyway, becoming an adventurer is not easy.

Even if you are a beginner F-level adventurer who is looked down on by the guild, you can do it because you are stronger than me and have more money.

But I somehow wanted to become an adventurer.

The only money I have now is the 30 silver that Tina gave me when I was her saint.

It was a difficult price to buy even an ordinary sword.

I decided to first find out how much money you need to become an adventurer.

* * *

Qubel is called the Free City, but it is also famous as a trading city.

That was because this place was close to the sea and there was a port where ships came and went.

I wandered the streets for almost half a day, familiarizing myself with the geography of this new city.

I then visited weapon stores, general stores, and armor stores to calculate the cost of becoming an adventurer.

“Let’s see… 3 gold and 5 gold… One two… ….”

Even if you calculate it roughly, 10 gold is needed.

In this world, if you collect 100 silver, it is only treated as 1 gold, so in terms of silver, it is 1,000 silver.

And the money I have? 25 Silver.

If you ask why my silver was reduced by 5, it’s because I was hungry after walking around so much that I bought a skewer.

It was grilled with an unknown animal meat and green onions alternately covered in salty sauce, and it was very delicious.

The moment I ate it, the narration said, ‘You’re just eating on a topic that has nothing to do with it.’

I’m hungry, but I can’t starve.

“Is it 10 gold…? ….”

Honestly, even for a country that is not yet familiar with the economic concepts of this country, I felt that the amount was a far-fetched amount.

This is all you need to have ‘basic equipment’ without being too greedy.

Even if you start an adventurer with that much investment, honestly, you might not be able to make your money back.

I was poor as hell, but I started out as an adventurer penniless and became rich!

Somehow, this success story seemed like a dream.

Still, I don’t give up.

I will work hard to save money and somehow start becoming an adventurer.

Before I heard from the damn narrator that I was a pathetic bastard, I hurried my steps.

* * *

“I don’t really need an employee, so go find somewhere else.”

A woman with a sad and warm expression shakes her head while holding a ladle in one hand.

I don’t know how many times I’ve already been rejected for this.

Finding a job was not easy.

Even in the original world where you can easily sort and search for jobs on the Internet, I didn’t look for a job.

Getting a job in a different world was obviously not going to work out well.

I checked the poster looking for someone to work, but there was no place I could apply because I didn’t have the skills or experience.

So, in an attempt to do some odd job, I went into any store and asked if they needed any help.

I was rejected at restaurants and even at blacksmith shops.

I went to general stores, weapon stores, clothing stores, and even farms, but they only shook their heads.

『There was no place that would accept Yunoa, who had never done anything proper in her life.

With no knowledge, skills, or experience, he was literally like a blank slate.』

Although the narration criticized me, she also felt a little resentful.

I wouldn’t know if it was the world I originally lived in, but isn’t it something that can’t be helped in this world?

No, there is no time to complain.

I don’t have much money, and if I don’t find a job quickly, I’ll end up as a beggar again.

Ah, becoming an adventurer is so hard.

Anyway, where is Tina and what is she doing?

She said she was looking for a job here too, so we might meet again someday.

When we meet again like that, if Tina lives well and I become a beggar again, it would be the worst.

I can’t suffer such a shameful thing.

Let’s try a little harder and find it.

『Yoonoa, who was not able to find suitable work and was about to become penniless, had to worry about making ends meet, let alone being an adventurer.

Meanwhile, at the port of the trading city of Kubel, a trade ship loaded with trade goods was preparing to dock.

This trading ship, which had been sailing for a week, was full of expensive and valuable items that are not easily found in this country.』

It’s a trade ship.

After listening to the narration, I turned my head toward the sea where the port was, and saw a really big ship approaching from a distance.

“…… “Are you trying to give me a hint?”

I muttered softly as I watched the large ship getting closer and closer to the dock.

If it weren’t for the narration, I wouldn’t have known that such a ship was coming.

That made me even more concerned.

This electronic sister who lives in my head doesn’t only speak harshly.

At times, it felt like a story that was subtly helpful was inserted between the harsh words.

“Well, you’ll find out once you get there.”

No matter how much you think about it, you won’t find an answer.

I immediately walked towards the port where the trading ship was about to dock.

* * *

Many ships, large and small, were already anchored in Kubel Port.

Truly befitting its name as a trading city, trade through sea routes is also actively taking place.

The trade ship that the narration told us about was a large ship that stood out among them all.

I sat down in a clearly visible place close to the berth and watched the trading ships coming in.

They say that that ship is full of expensive goods.

How much money would that wooden box over there be worth?

“Drop the anchor line!”

“Drop the anchor line!”

As the grim-looking man on the trade ship shouts in a loud voice, the sailors move around busily, repeating their names.

Sea Men often have rough images, but this one is no different.

After the ship finished anchoring, I went to the dock to see the situation closer.

“Get down quickly! Don’t procrastinate! “Don’t drop it!”

A muscular man with a hood on his head landed on the dock and shouted.

Then, the sailors on the ship began carrying heavy-looking luggage from the trading ship.

I looked around and looked for someone who seemed to be the captain of a trading ship.

To be honest, I was scared by the sight of testosterone, but I needed a job.

I saw a person wearing a captain’s hat on his head, and unlike other sailors, he was well dressed in uniform-like clothes.

I mustered up the courage to come closer and talk to him.

“Hey… “Are you the captain of that ship?”

“Huh? “That’s right.”

When I spoke to the captain of the trading ship, he looked at me with flashing white eyes.

Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like he was just looking at him without thinking, but he was so scary that it sent shivers down his spine.

“It’s no different because I need work. “If you ask me to do anything, I will work hard.”

But I was now a complete loser.

I realized that if you have nothing and no talent like me, you can survive by putting an iron plate on your face.

No matter how scary the captain looks at you, the most you can do is get scolded and rejected.

When the captain listened to me, he rolled his eyes, which showed a lot of white, and looked at my body and said,

“Wahahahahah! Are you going to work on our ship with such a weak body? “You must be kidding.”

I thought so too.

But the reaction is not as harsh as I thought.

Let’s ask for a little more.

“It’s because I don’t have enough money to eat and sleep right now. If I can’t work as a sailor, I’ll do my best if you ask me to at least do cleaning. Even though I was like this, I ended up cleaning the whole church by myself even though there were eight people cleaning it.”

“Hmm.”

The captain’s brow furrowed slightly at my earnest request.

As expected, this person is scary.

He was an impressionist man who, if a Kraken appeared in the sea, would run away in fear upon seeing his face.

But did he say that we should not judge people only from their appearance?

After a while, the captain of the trading ship spoke to me.

“Is your livelihood at stake? Well, good. Then, clean all cabins, decks, and masts of our ship by the day after tomorrow. It would be nice to give the cleaning crew a vacation as well. “If you like it, I’ll give you 1 gold.”

Yay.

I found a job.

Thank you, Captain.

But you have to clean that crazy-sized ship by yourself?

…… f*cked.
