But finally, she realized it and smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'm used to it, I'm used to it."
Roa didn't care and shrugged, "It's okay, I can understand."
In the end, Roa asked about the name of the nearby town.
Axel.
This name is the town where Kazuma and his group first appeared.
A town where novice adventurers gather, equivalent to a novice village where only weak monsters appear.
But contrary to normal people's expectations, there are quite a few high-reward missions here, so some adventurers with strength often appear in Axel.
Valda is a very enthusiastic person, and she specially said to Roa, "It just so happens that I have accepted a mission now. Shall I take you with me?"
The two people next to her opened their mouths to say a few words of persuasion, but Valda glared at them, and they stopped talking.
Roa was not polite and did not care about the two men. He nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
The group started on the road.
Valda was really enthusiastic and began to talk about the situation in Axel City.
Although it is called a city, it is actually a very peaceful town.
Because it is far from the Demon King's capital, and the front line cannot reach here at all, the people here seem quite comfortable.
Anyone can see the love for life from the other person's expression.
Well, should it be love?
Roa observed the surroundings. There were mainly adventurers around, and some vendors were setting up stalls on the ground, selling a bunch of ingredients.
Roa glanced at it casually and then withdrew his gaze.
Speaking of which, he doesn't seem to have any money.
Valda took Roa to the guild gate and pointed to a blonde girl standing at the innermost part of the counter and said, "That guy is the receptionist here. You can ask her about the specific situation. Well, handsome brother, we have something to do, so we have to leave first. I hope there will be more opportunities to meet in the future."
Valda winked at Roa, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile.
Roa was also straightforward. Seeing that the other party was about to say goodbye, he quickly said, "Um, can you lend me some of this country's currency? Not much, I just want to apply to become an adventurer."
Valda said 'oh', searched in the cloth bag for a moment, and then took out five coins and handed them to Roa.
The coins needed to become an adventurer are indeed not many, just a fee to check attributes.
Roa thanked Valda, "Thank you, I will pay you back."
Hearing this, Valda smiled and waved her hand casually, "There's no need to pay it back specially. It's not a large amount. On the contrary, I'm very happy to be able to help you."
Valda's slightly teasing words would make any young man blush.
However, Roa had seen many big storms, and his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat faster. Valda was slightly disappointed that she did not see the shyness of a young man. This time, she did not stay any longer and took the two people away.
Roa stood at the door and officially entered the guild this time.
The guild is quite interesting. Perhaps because they are all decorations from the Central European period, they are similar to the Adventurers' Guild in the world of Mushoku Tensei.
Tasks are posted on the bounty board for capable individuals to freely accept.
The difficulty varies, and the level restrictions for adventurers are quite broad.
With a quick glance, Roa saw tasks ranging from defeating the strongest monster, a One-Punch Bear, to giant frogs, with rewards ranging from 300 million Eris to 30,000 Eris.
For context, Eris is the currency of this world, with one Eris roughly equivalent to one Japanese Yen in terms of purchasing power from his previous life.
So, when converted, it's not a particularly large amount.
Roa's appearance naturally attracted the attention of many people. They sized him up with interest. Some, lounging lazily, whistled at him when he looked back, acting quite arrogant.
Roa didn't mind, nodding at them with a smile.
"Hoh,"
The burly man sized up Roa a few more times with interest, this time appearing more serious. Without saying much, he raised his drink and gestured towards Roa.
Roa smiled, not lingering his gaze there, and slowly approached the counter.
There were four staff members at the counter.
Two of them were female employees.
The two men were unfamiliar, sitting in the office as clerical staff, which seemed somewhat out of place in a place mostly filled with muscular men.
Of the remaining two, one had an ordinary appearance, while the other was a familiar face to Roa.
Of course, it was only Roa who recognized her; she naturally didn't know him.
The counter lady was a gentle-looking beauty.
Her wavy hair and large breasts created a mature feminine charm.
Her figure was comparable to that of the voluptuous adventurer.
Seeing Roa approach, she snapped out of her thoughts and smiled, "Hello, what can I do for you today?"
Roa said to the blonde girl in front of him, "Hello, my name is Roa Greyrat, and I would like to become an adventurer. Since this is my first time registering as an adventurer, I don't know much about it, so I would appreciate your detailed guidance."
The counter lady chuckled, "Guidance is too much to ask, but registration requires a fee of 1,000 Eris per person. Is that okay?"
Roa nodded, taking out his remaining 1,000 Eris, which was five coins, from his pocket and handing them to the counter lady.
The counter lady took the money, and perhaps it was just his imagination, but Roa felt her smile became more sincere.
Then she began to explain everything in detail.
"Alright. Since you said you want to be an adventurer, you should have some understanding of it, but I'll explain it again… First, adventurers are responsible for subjugating monsters that live outside the town… that is, those who eliminate things that harm the people. That being said, it's basically like being a jack-of-all-trades… The general term for people who make a living doing these jobs is adventurers. And then, adventurers are divided into various classes."
Roa pondered, meaning that adventurers in this world actually fill many roles, the type who wields a sword when needed and goes home to farm when not. Of course, farming here is just a metaphor, not literally going home to farm.
But thinking about it, it's normal. For the people of this world, defeating the Demon Lord is unlikely. Although it sounds harsh, that's just the reality.
