Chapter 15 My First Job as an Adventurer in Another World

Chapter 15

"Phew, I'll register this little girl for now… And I'll take her in as a temporary foster kid. That way, she won't have to go through that again. No objections, right, kiddo?"

"Eh, uh, yes! Thank you so much!"

"For real, Master?"

"Yeah, just temporary… Sending a kid to die and getting punished is one thing, but sending this kid back to die alive out there? …Damn it… I was really too careless. Should've been suspicious when there was no history, no nothing."

"Master's actually pretty kind, huh?"

"Shut it! …Besides, this kiddo, if we send her on quests, she probably won't die too easily… I mean, she's gotta be tough to escape that caravan all by herself."

"Hehe, true, Master… Alright, little miss, tell us your name! And put your hand here to register."

"Uh, my name's… Ge-…"

No way, I can't use my old world's name! This one, then—just a direct translation!

"Great."(In Thai it is mean Geng too)

"Grace, huh?"

"Yup."

"Alright, let's get you registered. Master, if you please."

"Mhm."

The guild receptionist with the overflowing chest gave a sweet smile, totally different from yesterday, as she walked over and fiddled with the guild's registration machine.

Oh, if you're wondering what happened after last chapter, it's not much. Pretty standard stuff.

I ran into town, panting in my frilly outfit, begging for help. Met the buff guildmaster uncle and the same receptionist from yesterday. Told them the whole story.

The plot's not some dark drama, but it's not all sunshine either.

So, it's simple. They felt super guilty. Couldn't take legal action against the caravan or that noble, though. The laws of this world aren't complicated. If you're a "savage," no matter what, there's no legal protection. You're worth about as much as an item or a monster. Everything depends on each person's morals.

Let it slide, help out, or do what happened to me—it's up to the individual. But once you're properly registered, the law's strong enough to punish wrongdoers.

They removed my "guilt brand" for me. It wasn't as hard as I thought. They even explained that even slave brands aren't tough to remove if there's no proper registration or clear documents. The guild, or anyone with enough skill and the right tools, can erase brands. But if you remove a brand from a legally owned slave, you could get punished by the law!

Heh heh, everyone, jot this down: From what I gather, these slave brands, guilt brands, whatever brands, and the skills to remove them—they've got levels too, right? If I meet someone with that power, I should copy it!

Vwing!!

Not long after, the registration machine finished. It felt like getting an ID card at a government office, except a proper guild can do it too. Super convenient!

"All done, Grace! Alright, be a good kid and listen to your foster dad, Ian, okay? Heehee!"

"Stop teasing me, Pepper."

"Fiiiine. Here, Grace, touch the verification machine."

"Yes, sir…"

Awesome! With a proper name like this, those jerks can't mess with me anymore! I'm in the clear… Wait, hold up. Why Grace…? That's such a girly name!!!

"Uh, actually…"

"Grace, huh? That's a nice name, kiddo."

"It's so pretty!"

"Yeah, I like it too. You'll be safe from now on, good girl."

A bunch of female adventurers swarmed around, gushing over me and my name… Ugh, I'm screwed… Saying it's a misunderstanding now would be a mess. Whatever, let it slide.

Let's check my status real quick.

"Alright, Grace, let's start with an easy quest. I'll give you 50z as a reward, how's that?"

"Eh, really!? What is it, Miss Pepper!?"

"Clean your room… and mine while you're at it!"

"Uh… Got it."

Pepper flashed a sweet smile, holding out 50z for me.

And that was my first job as an adventurer in this other world.
