Sage Reincarnation Chapter 4

Episode 4 In need of money

 

“Yuji ~, if you are going to throw, please say it earlier~”

“Sorry. . . .”

“Ah, over there. There is a monster~”

“Roger that. Let us go around it.”

 

While listening to the protest of the slime that I have thrown in place of a reconnaissance satellite, I walk towards the village.

Because I do not have MP, I got some advice from the slimes, I chose a route that did not encounter any monsters.

At first the slimes felt unreliable, if it is like this then they are quite useful.

 

◇

 

And then, about an hour later.

We, we arrived at the city safely.

 

“. . . . I see, I had a feeling that it was a world like this. . . .”

 

While saying so, it would seem that I have reached the village.

The surrounding landscape, I often see it in fantasy games, it was the so called medieval style landscape.

At the gate 『Fastan』was written, perhaps this is the name of the city.

However, there is only one thing that was fundamentally different from a game. . . . I wonder if it is all real.

But in games, the details in the background would be truncated, there is no such compromise in this world.

 

Well, whether it is a dream or the real world, it is natural because it is not a game.

 

“Oh.  You wearing strange clothes. . . . is it your first time in Fastan?”

 

As I was standing at the entrance of the village, I was spoken to.

The one who talked to me approached me, he is a somewhat young man.

Looks like. . . .  how should I say it, the atmosphere is perfect for adventurers to often appear in games.

 

“Oh. It is my first time. I just arrived earlier.”

“Earlier? . . . . at a time like this, you safely arrived to Fastan. . . . Ah, I delayed my introduction. I am Gale. I am a swordsman in this village.”

“I’m Yuji. My occupation. . . . it is Tamer.”

 

I am, so that is what I replied.

A sage is also an occupation, but it is strange to say 2 things.

 

“Tamer. . . . Being here alone means, perhaps you are not only a tamer but an adventurer?”

“No. . . . probably not.”

 

The answer was different, I got lost for a bit.

In the first place, I do not know whether an adventurer truly exists in this world or not.

I might be able to become an adventurer by registering or doing something, at least now it is a bit different.

 

“Perhaps. . . . I do not really understand it, in any case, if you are not an adventurer, it is best that you should not go out of the village anymore today.”

“. . . . is that so?”

 

“Ah. Recently, monsters have been active around this village. Usually it is impossible for monsters with strength to come out but. . . .  today, there is a particularly dangerous atmosphere. I am going to gather some adventurers who have skill, I will strengthen the defenses of this village. . . . as for the person who goes outside of town, I cannot protect you.”

 

That i what Gale said, I look towards the forest.

I was able to come into the village safely, it would seem that I was fortunate.

Well, I met a dragon on the way.

Other than that, there is one thing on my mind that bothers me.

 

“Thank you for the advice. By the way there is one question on my mind. . . . adventurers, can I become it?”

 

I could not bear the magical power consumption of『Hellfire of Demise』, apparently I seem to be able to use magic, there are also skills as a tamer.

Rather than looking for work in another world without connection, being an adventurer would probably be better.

I think, as I asked a question. . . . the reaction ws subtle.

 

“An adventurer huh. . . .  however there is an exam, you can become one if you pass. But physical strength is necessary, however you are a tamer. . . .”

 

So says the adventurer man with a difficult face.

The so called tamer part, it seems to be a hindrance.

 

“Speaking of tamer, is it useless?”

“. . . . it is hard to say, to be honest it is harsh. Afterall it is an adventurer whose occupation would not be able to handle a weapon or can use magic.”

 

I see. It is impossible to make use of magic or weapons.

If it is magic then, I used it recently but. . .

 

“Well then, what if it is a sage and not a tamer who becomes an adventurer?”

“A sage?. . . . I have never heard of it before. At least, I have never heard of sage adventurers.”

 

I see. Saying so then a sage, it is not a major occupation.

. . . . by getting busy, I would probably make it here.

 

“Thank you for your advice. For now, I will like to take the exam.”

“Ah. Good luck.”

 

Is what Gale said, I head off to somewhere else.

An adventurer’s exam. . . .

“I am looking forward to it.”

 

◇

 

“Uhm. . . . guild, guild. . . .”

 

Fortunately, the words that are used in this world, I seem to be able to read it.

Because there is a signboard written with『Adventurer’s Guild』, I placed the slime on my shoulder, I advanced through the town with the help of the signboard.

And then, I was able to reach the guild without getting lost.

Speaking of guilds, the building has a guild like feeling to it.

There is no other way to say it other than that. Yup. It is a guild.

 

I opened the door, I went inside for the time being.

 

“. . . . that’s it huh.”

。

In the guild, there were several windows.

One of them has a window that has『Adventurer’s Guild Exam Registration』written, I stood before it.

 

“Do you want to register for the exam?”

 

Then, the receptionist woman who was doing some work stood up, came here.

In the nameplate, the word 『Lily』 was written.

 

“Yes. I came to take the exam.”

 

“I understand. Please write on this sheet of paper.”

 

Saying so, I took the sheet of paper

On the paper 『Adventurer’s Guild Exam Registration Application Form』was written.

Somehow, it looks like a government office.

While thinking of such a thing, I fill in the fields such as name and age.

 

“. . . . is your occupation huh”

 

The field where is says occupation in the application form, the words『One Hand Swordsman』『Two Hand Swordsman』『Magician』are written, it seems like a system wherein you select one.

However, the occupation sage is not written.

For now, I should choose tamer.

Then, if magic can be used, it seems necessary to write the attribute of the magic that you can use, I briefly write what is written in the status.

 

“Uhm. . . .  light, darkness, fire, water, earth, thunder, wind, space-time magic, special magic, great magic, enslavement magic, bestowal magic, processing magic. . . .  oops.”

 

The letters for processing magic, it protruded a little bit from the entry column.

It is possible if I write as small as possible, it would seem that the entry column was too small.

With this I ended filling up the form, I handed it over back to Lily.

 

“I finished filling it up.”

“Yes. I will confirm it for a bit.”

 

While saying so Lily looked over what I wrote on the application form. . . . and looks at me with a heartwarming smile.

And then. . . . my application form was returned to me.

 

“You can’t lie. At the time of the examination, everything would be found out. . . . .And then, first of all what is great magic, special magic or even space-time magic? There is no such attribute.”

 

It was in the status, so that is why I wrote it. . . .

Anyway, I should delete the unknown attributes.

 

“Jaa, is this ok?”

 

As I said so, I once again submitted the paper.

The attributes written are, light, darkness, fire, water, earth, thunder, wind.

Lily looks at it and sighs. . . .

 

“If this is ok then, I will accept but. . . . really,  there is no way that you are lying to me right?”

 

Yeah, I heard.

I just wrote about what is in my status properly. . . . ah.

 

“I understand. I will correct it. This is my final answer.”

 

Is what I said, I added 『Sage』 in the occupation field, I submitted it again.

But. . . . her reaction is less than desirable.

 

“. . . . in the occupation column, please do not strange words. For now, I will erase it and accept it.”

 

Lily told me as if she has given up, I only wrote 『Sage』on the paper that I gave to you, she placed it on the desk where the other documents are placed.

And then, she opened her mouth.

 

“Well then, please give me 150,000 Cicolas as an examination fee.”

 

. . . . ah.

 

“Examination fee, is it necessary?”

“It is a requirement. . . .by any chance, did you not know?”

 

Lily asked me in utter amazement.

Even if you say that, I just came to this world, today is the first day.

I mean, I don’t even know whether it is a dream or a different world.

Anyway, somehow one way or another the examination fee. . . . that’s it!

 

“Even if you are not registered with the guild, can you sell monster parts?”

Since I have been getting support from you all I have thought about paying it forward and let her translate it. A help for her and her son. For now, that is the end of the 40 dollars donated by Jacob K. Thanks again.  Could not have paid the internet cafe for time to translate without you.
