Chapter XIII - Inventory & Party
Cynthia: "Welcome, I see that you're already back from gathering the materials!"
Kawano: "Hello, I brought the wolf leather for Farmer John, and he said that I could use this to make the leather armor."
Cynthia: "I see, the leather armor will be done by tomorrow, and the fee will be 3 silver and 60 coppers with the labour reduction fee."
Kawano: " thank you!"
*blimp*

A backpack? I guess it's good, because I needed it.

Can store an unlimited amount of items.

This is awesome! And it can connect to the system? Sync!

You can put things in and out of this inventory space.
Think 'inventory' to open the inventory tab.

Cynthia: "did I justs see things appearing and disappearing out of thin air?! Excuse my rudeness, I didn't know that you were such a powerful Wizard!"
Oh no, I forgot that she was here, and I might have caused a misunderstanding...
Kawano: "I'm not a wizard, could you keep what you saw a secret, please?"
Cynthia: "yes Mr.Wiz- I mean, yes sir, i would never wish to cause discomfort to a customer."
I don't think that she believes that I'm not a wizard...
Kawano: "thank you very much! I'll come back tomorrow then."
Cynthia: "ok, have a great day, sir."
I should take on a quest for now, I need money for the inn...
************
... I still can't read the quests...
I could ask someone to read it for me, but that would be akward, right? I'll just grab a random one...
Jack: "Hey kawano!"
Kawano: "Hi Jack! How are you?"
Jack: "I'm well, are you trying to choose a quest?"
Kawano: "yes, I need to make quick money to stay at the inn."
*Jack looks at my hands*
Jack: "Is that why you're taking a B-rank quest? I didn't know that you were so strong. Hehe."
Kawano: "whoops, It's because... I- I-... I can't read..."
Jack: "Is that so? then since you're searching for a quest, why don't you take a quest with us? We're departing tomorrow, I'll pay for your stay at the inn."
Kawano: "That would be great, then where should I meet you?"
Jack: "Meet us by the east gate tomorrow at midday."
Kawano: "Ok"
Jack: "we should add you to the party now"
Kawano: "party?"
Jack: "yes, it's a system created to make sure that everyone in a group of adventurers recives equal payment for quests."
Jack: "Hey Tania, can you add Kawano to our party?"
Receptionist: "sure, your guild card please."
...
Tania: "Thank you Kawano, Here's your card back."
Tania: "You're now qualified for the minimum headcount of the D-rank quest that you wanted to take."
Jack: "then it's settled, tomorrow by the gate!"
Kawano: "Jack, did you just invite me to make up for head count?"
Jack: "hehe. You needed a quest anyway, right? And we already know each other, so it would be easier than asking a stranger for help."
Makes sense, because you want to travel with someone you can trust.
Kawano: "ok, so I'll meet you tomorrow. "
Jack: "oh, and before I forget, here's 70 copper for the inn."
I don't like the idea of owing money to people. Even if I was poor, my family always paid all of our debts off
Kawano: "thank you Jack, I'll make sure to pay you back whenever I can."
Jack: "It's alright, see this as a welcome gift for joining the Adventurer Guild, I gave you extra so that you could also get some food, be prepared for tomorrow, we're subjugating a Red Wolf."
Red wolf?
Kawano: "Red wolf? Is it stronger than a Big wolf?"
Jack: "Why? have you fought a Big Wolf before? Hehe.
He's being sarcastic...
Kawano: "Yes, I found it in a cave near the town when I was hunting wolves"
Jack: "Really?! I'm suprised that you're still alive. You weren't even that strong last time I saw you"
Kawano: "yeah, I almost died"
Jack: "If it's true, I'm glad that you're alright. To answer your question, yes, Red Wolves are stronger than Big Wolves, and Big Wolves are stronger than normal Wolves. And Blue Wolves are stronger than Red Wolves.
Kawano: "So we're going to fight against something stronger than the big wolf?!"
Jack: "don't worry, that's what the headcount's for. And our party is also stronger than a normal D-rank party, thanks to our teamwork. If we get somewhere too dangerous, we'll protect you."
Kawano: "Ok, now that I think about it, the receptionist- ... Tania said that I could only get a quest with 1 Rank higher, and I'm still F-rank..."
Jack: "that's because of the party system, since there's a C-rank in the party, we can bring a weaker rank to balance the party's strength."
Kawano: "but then couldn't you just kill me to get all the rewards?"
Jack: "That's why the party system is so great. If you come back with less people than the party size, they give you a penalty."
Kawano: "Then what if someone died from a monster?"
Jack: "If you have proof that it was a monster, then you won't get penalized, but you don't want anyone to die in the first place, right?"
Kawano: "Yes."
Jack: "Don't worry Kawano, it'll be alright. "
Kawano: "thank you Jack! And also, who's the C-rank adventurer that's going with us?"
Jack: "Well, I got promoted to a C-rank after completing the quest on the day we arrived here."
Kawano: "Really?! Congratulations for the promotion Jack!"
Jack: "Thanks! We should get ready for tomorrow, good night Kawano"
Kawano: "Good night Jack!"
I'm a bit hungry, I should eat dinner at the inn with the money that Jack gave me.
