Chapter 9

Yesterday, while thinking about the future in my room, I must have dozed off and was woken up at dinner time.

After dinner, I took a shower and lay down on the bed, and when I realized it, morning had come.

"Maybe I finally relaxed now that I can settle down?"

After being kicked out of my home and searching for a place to stay, I had managed to get by with a bit of money.

I guess the tension I had been holding onto until then had finally eased.

"Hmm, Jin. Why have you stopped? Is there something you can't eat?"

"No, I was just thinking about something."

When I stopped, Ricardo, looking worried, called out to me, and I replied to him like that.

After that, I finished breakfast and headed to the guild to collect yesterday's reward.

"Mr. Jin, you're early today."

When I arrived at the guild and asked for Fiene at the partner registration window, she came out from the back, saying that.

Then, Fiene led me to the consultation room.

"First, here is your reward from yesterday. The partner registration fee has been deducted, so please check it."

"…Yes, I have checked it."

I confirmed that the bag contained the reward with the registration fee deducted and put it into my [Interdimensional Box].

"By the way, I didn't get to ask you yesterday, but how much capacity does your storage skill have? I already confirmed that it can hold quite a lot, since you were able to easily take out five orcs."

…Come to think of it, how much capacity does it have?

In the game era, there was an inventory, so I never needed this skill and didn't fully understand its effects.

"I've confirmed that it can hold a lot, but I haven't verified how much exactly."

"From what we know so far, it can hold more than five orcs, right?"

"That's right. In the future, if I verify how much it can hold, I'll report back."

"Thank you. Requests that can only be done by people with large storage skills have quite high rewards, so if you can let us know, we can introduce them to you."

There are such requests, which didn't exist in the game itself...

Well, in this world, storage skills are one of the rare skills. The requesters probably think that offering high rewards will get people with special skills to do the job.

"Since we already know it can hold at least five orcs, I'll prepare requests that can be done by people with that level of storage skill."

"Understood. Thank you."

When I replied to Fiene's words, the conversation moved on to today's requests.

"By the way, do you plan to continue working solo in the future?"

"Regarding that, I haven't really thought about it. I think the range of requests would broaden if I had a team, but for now, I can handle things on my own."

"That's true. You have talent in both swordsmanship and magic, and you also have a storage skill, so you won't be lacking in anything."

Fiene, who knows my abilities, said this with a slightly exasperated tone.

"Well, I do want to have companions. It's the classic adventure story to grow stronger through mutual encouragement."

"Oh, so you actually like that kind of thing?"

"I do. Especially adventure stories."

Although I say that, I don't know much about the adventure stories in this world. What I like are the light novels I read in my previous life.

"In that case, I can look for someone who might be a good match for you. We also provide this service for partner registrants."

Hearing Fiene's words, I remembered that partner registration included such a service.

"Ah, if that's the case, could you do it for me? I think it would be difficult for me to find someone on my own."

Since I have no social connections, the number of people I can talk to is limited, so I decided to use this service.

"Understood. I will look for someone who might be a good match for you. Do you have any specific preferences for the person?"

"No, not really. But I would prefer someone who can keep their mouth shut."

"…I see. If someone were to spread the word about your abilities, it could cause you trouble. Understood, I will look for someone who can keep their mouth shut."

After that, I accepted a hunting request that Fiene had prepared and headed outside the capital.

Having already been outside the capital a few times and with my game knowledge, I headed to the area where the monsters were said to live, and I saw a lone adventurer fighting three monsters.

"I thought Fiene said no one else was heading out on a request today?"

As I was thinking this and watching the adventurer, I saw that he was being overwhelmed by the three monsters and was injured.

"Hey! Adventurer over there! If you need help, I'll lend a hand!"

"Ah! Yes, please!"

Thinking it might be the same person, I called out, and the adventurer, after a brief glance at me, shouted that.

Hearing his response, I cast a spell from where I was, forcing the monsters to back off from the adventurer.

Then, using the [Wind Magic] I had been practicing for the past few days, I cut off the heads of the still-living monsters, killing them.
