Chapter 7

"Well, but that's true. With this level of strength, I can even feel reassured giving you extermination requests. Or rather, you're so versatile that I can entrust you with any kind of request..."

Fiene said this while staring at the paper with my status written on it.

"Fujin, let me ask you first, is there anything you're not good at?"

"Not good at?..."

"Yes. For example, if there's a monster you find difficult, or if you're sensitive to smells and don't want to go to smelly places, or sometimes there are adventurers who are afraid of blood, so I give them collection requests. I thought I'd ask you first."

I see, indeed, everyone has something they're not good at.

In this world, it seems there's even such preliminary research for "partners."

"Ah, I don't really have anything I'm not good at. However, I don't have any experience with humans yet, so requests to capture or exterminate bandits might be difficult."

"Indeed, Fujin, you're only 12 years old, so it's natural that you don't have any experience with humans."

Fiene tilted her head for a moment, then, remembering my age from the status, she nodded in understanding.

"How can I train to gain experience with humans?"

"Well... the common way is to ask acquaintances among adventurers for training, or to form a party with them and get used to it by going on bandit extermination missions."

"Um, I just left home three days ago, and I don't know any adventurers."

Moreover, this character Jin doesn't have any "friends."

His fiancée existed in name, or rather, in the story, but Jin was rarely allowed to leave home.

As a result, he only met his fiancée a few times, and most other children didn't even know of Jin's existence.

"In that case, we can arrange it for you. There might be adventurers who specialize in training beginners, so I can introduce you to them."

"Ah, if it's possible, I'd like that. I don't even know if I can fight humans, so it would be a great help to gain some experience."

"Understood. I'll contact you when the arrangements are made. Is there anything else you need?"

When asked by Fiene, I replied that I didn't need anything for now and requested that she prepare today's requests for me.

Then, Fiene brought me the request forms based on my status.

The reward for the request was quite good, so I decided to take it.

"Indeed, registering as a partner was the right choice... It's not something a regular new adventurer could do to get extermination requests so early."

The request was to exterminate five orcs living near the capital.

Since I already had experience with extermination from the innkeeper's request, I quickly took care of the orcs and returned to the capital.

"Wait, it's already over?"

Since it had only been about an hour, Fiene looked surprised.

To be honest, the travel time was longer, and the actual extermination took less than 10 minutes.

"I thought you were strong based on your status, but I didn't expect you to finish so quickly... Finding the orcs themselves is usually difficult."

"Well, I studied when I became an adventurer."

Of course, that was a lie; I used my knowledge from the game.

In the game, the protagonist also worked as an adventurer, so the habitats of major monsters were mostly in my head.

Although I had overhunted a bit the day before, making them a bit harder to find, I still managed to find the requested orcs quickly.

After that, I went to the basement to have the monster materials appraised and disassembled, as I did yesterday.

"Are you the one from yesterday?"

Because of the material transportation issue, I went with the materials to the workshop, where the woman who appraised the herbs for me yesterday tilted her head and said this.

"Nice to see you again. I'm Jin."

"Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Rene. I'm the leader of this workshop."

Thinking I would be relying on her, I greeted her, and she returned the greeting.

After exchanging greetings, I explained the reason for my visit and handed over the five orc corpses.

"Wow, such beautifully killed orcs from a beginner! Amazing!"

One of the workers said this, and the others also looked at the orcs' condition and expressed their admiration.

"Rene, can you please appraise and disassemble these orcs?"

"Got it. But since they're in such good condition, I'll have to be extra careful, so it might take a bit longer."

"Oh, I see. Fujin, it seems it will take some time. Is that okay?"

"It's fine. If you like, I can come back tomorrow to collect the reward. I don't have any plans after this."

When I suggested this, Fiene said, "That would be a great help," and we agreed that I would collect the reward tomorrow.
