The Man Picked up by the Gods Volume 1 Chapter 15

“Jeff, looks like you too… Why do you think we were called today”

“I don’t know either. The only thing common in my party is that we’re all female members of the beastman tribe. But I don’t think that’s got anything do with it, right?”

“Miya, you were also called?”

“Even though, you wouldn’t listen to me no matter how many times I told you to move out of that house.”

“Then, how come your smell’s gotten better?”

“I was also surprised nya. He actually cleaned that basement without even taking 2 hours, and even blocked the hole in the wall, nya. He cleaned it up with magic, and even made the room sparkling clean, nya”

“That’s amazing, what kind of guy was it?”

“Ha? Under 13 years old with a big basket? Isn’t that the guy called Ryouma?”

“You knew that guy?”

“The day before yesterday, when he came back from his work, the old man called him. He made a face that looked like he had no idea why he was being called, so I told him it’s just the old man being nosy. That kid’s really polite.”

“Ah! The kid nya!”

“Hey, it’s me from the other day. So you were also called huh? Good timing, we were just talking about you”

“It’s fine that she bought the house but with the walls crumbling and being in that state… you saw it right? For a member of the beastman tribe that possesses good nose something like that was painful, and so we tried recommending her several times to move out but she wouldn’t listen… ah, by the way I’m Mizeria. Best regards.”

“These three are members of the former party I was in, nya. Because the smell of that house permeated my body, it was quite difficult for the members of the party especially for Wereanna, who was a member of the Dog Beastman Tribe, and since I didn’t want to give up the house I had to leave. And then some, nya”

“Well Miya is sometimes stubborn…”

“You really did well to live there for 5 years”

“Inside this is my Slave Monster. I am a Slave Magic User after all”

“Several types of slimes. I’m still an apprentice. Slimes are quite slow so it’s faster to carry them on my back through my basket and run during times when we need to hurry. And it’s also not good to scare people so…”

The next to respond was Wereanna

“Fortunately, we were able to survive and come back. As a result we managed to gain the skill”

“I’m level 4 now, nya. I don’t really like saying it myself but, it’s because I live at that trashy house, nya”

After that a veteran looking Dwarf guessed the contents of the topic for the meeting today. When a young adventurer heard what he said, he panickedly exclaimed.

“If you’re talking about Disease Resistance then, is it an epidemic?”

“Calm down Shale. Just as Gordon had assumed, it is certainly about that. Only, it hasn’t spread yet.”

“No, we just confirmed that there’s a breeding ground for it. It doesn’t mean someone’s already been infected. The one who found the breeding ground is that Ryouma over there.”

At those words everyone looked at Ryouma simultaneously. And then the Guild Master, Wogan, explained about the Scavenger Slime, the information, and basis on why we know there to be an infectious disease.

“… So because the Scavenger Slime’s Disease Resist Skill level increased from 5 to 7, although really even at only level 6 it is already not possible to actually completely resist it.

The request this time is to stop this epidemic before it starts to spread. Moreover, if news of this were to leak out to the townspeople, it will cause great panic to the people, so please keep this a secret.”

“Our job is to deal with the epidemic, so in other words cleaning the latrine pits right?”

“Wait a minute! You plan to make the kid deal with that alone? Isn’t that absurd? Kids also catch diseases more easily than adults. It’s too dangerous.”

“Although Ryouma will be taking care of the process of sanitization, It is vital that we work in shifts to ensure that nobody comes near the area as he works.

“Is there any need to have 9 look outs?”

“There’s no problem since its normal for me to work continuously for a few days. Rather I think it’s a rather easy role”

“I'll give you guys 10 minutes. This mission is in a sense more dangerous than subjugating monsters. There’s no obligation and there’s also no penalty for not accepting, so think well on whether to accept this mission or not”

As Wogan said that, he left the room along with Ryouma, whose participation was already decided.

“Haa… what to do?”

At those words, the dwarf adventurer called Gordon replied.

“I’m joining them. After all, this is the town I was born and raised in and I also have a lot of people I know here, so I can’t run away.”

After him, the next to declare his participation was the dragonewt adventurer.

“This one will also accept. A plague is a threat, and this one has yet to stop one”

Afterwards the ones declaring their participation came one after another.

“While its true epidemics are bad but even so, it’s not like we can just push it on that kid, right?”
