Life In Another World 8 Elmore

It is a well-developed place compare to the other villages, there is a long paved road connecting to the nearest town.

Sometimes small scale caravans could be seen from time to time.

In the small building called Smolder Meat Inn, Kiro was inside the Inn's tavern munching a slice of smoked meat, he ordered a huge serving on his right hand a 16 oz mug of fruit juice.

After a long journey, Kiro was starving to death, he managed to secure a warm place to stay at night. The last village he went into, the hospitality wasn't that much, the chief of that place let him stay at the stable for a single night.

So securing a sleeping quarter, Kiro will have a good night's sleep on a crude bed than sleeping on a cold ground filled with straw.

He also manages to have a great deal from the passing caravans and sold all of his remaining greasy grass for 2 Gold coins, 70 pieces of silver coins.

For a single stalk, he manages to get a deal for 45 pieces of silver coins each.

After knowing that the medical efficiency deteriorating wasn't that much. He felt so stupid for being swindled by the peddler. His face couldn't help to become sour.

Along with the 40 silver coins he got from the peddler, Kiro total funding is around 3 Gold coins and 5 silver coins. He already used the 5 silver coins for renting a room and for food expenses.

"Num, num... Juliana, another serving please." (Kiro) shouted in a low tone.

Juliana is a mature woman, working as a serving girl in the Smolder Meat Inn, her voluptuous figure is the most eye-catching attraction inside this tavern.

While everyone is greedily looking at her body figure, nobody has the guts to make a move at her.

The reason is, the boss of this tavern is her husband and her husband was infamous for his low temper, the last time there were a few bunches of rude fellows trying to make a move to his wife.

A furious huge butcher knife came flying through the kitchen.

Frightening the group of hoodlum out of their wits.

Since then nobody tried to bother the thorny flower inside the tavern.

While the wife is acting as a service girl, the husband was a chef, his culinary skills were topnotch within the village, there were even some few guests staying at his Inn just because of his cooking skill.

"Okay, another huge serving of Smolder meat, coming right up!" (Juliana) cheerfully said.

Looking at the mesmerizing body disappearing from his sight.

Kiro couldn't help to gulp awkwardly.

Juliana came right back, as quickly as the way she left, carrying a wooden tray placing it to Kiro's table.

"Huge serving of Smolder meat, enjoy your meal `wink`." (Juliana) could not help to tease Kiro.

Of course, she knew Kiro's hot gaze meant seeing a young adult like Kiro staring at her intensely, boosting her motivation that she hasn't lost her touch yet.

Given she is at age of thirties, yet she still looks like a young maiden at her prime. You could tell how much investment she gave to take care of her body.

Kiro was petrified for a moment, he couldn't help to blame his lack of social interaction from a mature woman. If the person was the same age as him, Kiro wouldn't be dominated like this.

Ignoring the poisonous vixen in front of him, as he started biting a chunk of meat.

***

Inside his room.

Kiro was sitting on a wooden chair, sorting out his future plans.

In this world, there was a certain place called Adventurer's Guild, It was a gathering place for sending a commission. It has a better chain of command than mercenaries, because of the bad reputation of mercenaries, they would rather go to the Adventurer's Guild to send their request.

Because Adventurer's Guild has a high rating of completion rate, more and more people tend to go and send their requests in the Guild.

What is more, the System of the Adventurer's Guild was way much better than rogue mercenaries. They only needed to write their request from a small parchment and a beautiful receptionist will manage their commission, as long as their request doesn't disturb the rules of the Guild, It will be accepted.

Plus their commission fee was protected by the guild, so if the person who accepted their request failed to accomplish their demand, the advance payment they did was still secured. If nobody accepted their commission their fee will be refunded.

It was way much better than the mercenaries who will ask for the half price of commission fee first before doing their work. What is more, if the mercenaries failed, they won't give back the money that has already been received.

So the popularity and reputation of Adventurer's Guild reach not only a small scale Kingdom but even the larger Empires welcome their presence.

"Mm... No matter which way I look at it, joining the Adventurer's Guild is my best choice." (Kiro) was thinking out loud.

as he continues.

"I can choose to join the ranks in the military and climb up the ladder to become an honorable knight. The country might even bestow me a title. But I don't want to get bound to a country.

On the other hand, the Adventurer's Guild has their own rule to be followed, but we are not bound to the country's dispute, It was a give and take, relationship from both parties.

What is more, with the Guild's reputation I wouldn't worry about not having an Identity Card, that can only be issued from the head of the village or town's mayor of a person's birthplace.

Haa~ since I wasn't born in this world, It is clear that I don't have any record for a birthplace, there's no way I can re-issue for an Identity Card. But if I have the Adventurer's Guild Badge, It can be considered as my Identity Card. Because of the well-known reputation, I could easily enter any town and village without getting bothered by the criminal device." (Kiro)

After pondering for a while, Kiro finally decided which route he will take.

"Mm... I think joining the Guild is a much more realistic scenario for me. Forget about the Military, I don't even have a proper background, to begin with." (Kiro)

But Kiro didn't know that joining a Guild wasn't simple as he thought it would, because the information he gained was only primary knowledge of this world.

After saying those words, Kiro lay down on the crude bed, but this time there was a mattress stuffed with straw.

Kiro only woke up, when the sky is already dark.

Going down to the tavern, grabbing a simple meal, a piece of dried meat, and a slice of brown bread.

After eating he goes back to his room, continuing his rest.

***

Early In the Morning.

Kiro was doing a procedure for checking out after filling the question from the logbook. Kiro handed over the key.

Even though this Inn wasn't a high-class Inn, their procedure is high class one.

He returns the key to the bald and bulky man, Kiro couldn't help to think why such a person like Juliana falls for a guy like him.

"Was it because he is good at cooking?" (Kiro) thought in a low tone.

"What is it?" Baldy stared at Kiro in confusion.

"Oh, It is nothing, uncle Hugh." (Kiro) couldn't help to have a cold sweat running down to his forehead.

After all, he was talking to the Infamous madman, pissing him off was the last thing Kiro wanted to do.

"Hmph, I received the key and I already send my wife to check your room. If there is damage from the stuff inside, once she is done then you may go." (Hugh) snorted lightly, ignoring Kiro, heading back to the kitchen.

After a while, a figure of seductress entered his sight.

"Good Morning~ Kiro, I already checked your room, the furniture inside the room is still intact, there are no missing items, so you are good to go." (Juliana) said in a playful tone.

Kiro couldn't help to think what is wrong with this auntie, her behavior is something Kiro couldn't converse easily.

"Okay thank you for the trouble, Juliana." (Kiro) of course, Kiro still knew a basic etiquette for not bringing up a woman's age.

'Even In this world, they still pay much attention to such' Kiro thought.

Bidding his farewell, Kiro continued his journey to the nearest town.

***

Back to the current time.

Kiro is there standing still, dazing blankly at the clear blue sky, recalling the past event that happened to him upon coming into this world.

He already managed to enter the Town of Elmore.

In front of him was the Biggest Commercial building in the central district of the town.

It is a sub-branch of the Adventurer's Guild.

Looking at the building bustling with activity, a lot of people are going in and out inside the building from time to time.

The only odd thing about it is, man or woman, every single one of them is carrying a weapon.

What is more, some women wore such revealing clothes, but the weird thing is nobody bothered to look at them with a desire. The people around them acted as if they were only wearing simple and regular clothing.

Upon entering the place.

Kiro was momentarily shocked by the scene before him.

On the right side of the building, there was a simple pub, even though it was still morning It was already packed with people.

While on the left, a bunch of people was checking out the huge wall with countless parchments hanging on the wall.

At the center of the building, there was a long queue of lines at the counter.

Seeing such a scene, Kiro couldn't help to, momentarily daze.

After a while, Kiro finally snapped out of it.

Looking at the empty counter, Kiro headed straight to that direction.

Arriving in front of the receptionist.

Kiro finally saw a stunning beauty, staring at her elegant demeanor, her movement was so precise there wasn't a single motion wasted, she was wearing a simple white Leine underneath a long red Shinrone Gown. Her blazing long hair touching upon her hourglass waist.

Her eyes were like a Ruby shining brightly at the dim corner of the counter, her skin was white as snow that you could not help to think if such beauty really does exist.

Looking at the Goddess in front of him.

Kiro couldn't help to daze blanky at her beauty, the word beautiful was not enough to describe the Goddess In front of him.

Seeing Kiro at daze, the woman couldn't help, to chuckle lightly.

As if being awake from his dream, Kiro tried to regain his senses.

"Ahem... Mr, what can I do for you? Are you here to request a commission." the woman said with her dream-like voice.

Kiro, who is trying to stabilize his senses, upon hearing her dreamlike voice, his strong will is breaking into pieces.

Suddenly refreshing sensation entered throughout his body, regaining his clarity.

"Master, be careful, that woman is dangerous! Fixie could feel her strong aura around her, Fixie will only help Master once from regaining Master's senses. Master should better to get used seeing a beautiful woman like her or else you will be a disgrace as Fixie's Master!" (Fixie) pouted at Kiro, she couldn't understand why men were always like this when seeing beauty for the first time.

Hearing Fixie's voice, Kiro finally snapped out of it.

"Mm, sorry about that Miss-" (Kiro) paused for a moment, he didn't know what to call the beauty in front of him. He doesn't have guts to call her Miss beautiful.

"My name is Rosaleen, but If it is too long for you, Mr can just call me Rosie." (Rosie) answered so professionally, seeing Kiro is having a hard time, she won't poke at his sour spot.

"Mm, okay Miss Rosie, sorry about that and my name is Kirohoshi, you can also just call me Kiro."(Kiro) gave a light cough to hide from his embarrassment.

"Okay, Mr. Kiro, how can I help you?" (Rosie)

"About that, I was wondering where I can register, I want to join the Guild." (Kiro)

"... Joining is it? I am sorry to tell you this Mr. Kiro but to join the Adventurer's Guild, one must pass the basic training course first before they can finally register. We have a strict requirement from those who want to join our guild, are you sure you want to do it?

Please don't be offended If I were being frank here, but seeing Mr. Kiro, you seemed to be a sheltered child.

Just by the look of Mr. Kiro's hand, there weren't any brushes or callus on Mr's palm, there wasn't even any sign of activity that you're handling a sword before.

Is Mr. Kiro sure that you really want to join the Guild?" (Rosie) stared at Kiro from up to bottom, she is on the mark, Kiro never once held a sword before, his only fighting experience was at that time in the forest and the journey to reach this town.

"Yup, even If I have to pass the basic course first. I want to join the Guild." (Kiro) said earnestly.

Seeing Kiro wasn't joking around, Rosie didn't bother to stop him, knowing It will only be futile attempt to persuade him, she grabs a piece of parchment from the counter's drawer. She only thought that Kiro was a pampered son of a wealthy family.

"Okay then, Mr. Kiro please fill the necessary information here." (Rosie) put down the parchment on the counter.

Kiro gives a slight nod, then dripping the Quill pen to black ink, he started filling the question.
