Chapter 198

(198) Younger sister route 2

Translator: Tseirp

“ … What’s wrong? Onii . ”

“Erm … how do I say this …”

Now then, how shall I break this to her?

To be honest, I should let her know but Miri was just sincerely happy for me for graduating from being jobless .

Well, after all, being Jobless is only limited to the system, I have actually been earning quite a bit .

Money from being a Peddler … it was Carol who earned those .

Money from hunting monsters … that was done in Haru’s name .

The huge profit I made in Belasra … ah I used all of it to pay tax .

What the heck, even Marina was earning money as a Street Performer so I had no idea how to explain the job I have here .

Just how many times have I had these conflicting thoughts?

“Onii … don’t tell me you’re still Jobless?”

“Eh!? How — —”

“Oh, it’s nothing . ”

Miri averted her eyes and said as she touched her head . That was Miri’s signature gesture when she does something bad .

“The Church Priest…”

“What did you do to the priest!?”

“I manipulated him a little to get information . Nevertheless, I only got information that Onii never came to the Church so I wondered if you were perhaps still Jobless . ”

Miri said ‘manipulated a little’ lightly like she was saying ‘went to town to buy some stuff’ . I couldn’t get myself to be angry at her given how she acted as though she had nothing to do with it like that . No, I have to properly scold her .

“Idiot, don’t go around manipulating people . ”

I chopped Miri’s head . It’s domestic violence . DV .

But Miri looked like she enjoyed it as she stuck her tongue out .

“Sorry~”

It didn’t look like she was apologizing sincerely but I let it slide since she already apologized .

“Yeah, like Miri said, I am still Jobless . ”

“I see … (I thought it was impossible when Koshmar said it but it was actually true . )”

“Hn? What did you say, Miri?”

“Erm, why Jobless? Couldn’t you have changed job for free?”

“Yeah … it will be quicker once you see my status . I don’t really want to talk about it for long in front of the guild so let’s go in . ”

I urged Miri to enter the Adventurers Guild .

Maybe all the Adventurers Guilds were the same as the Adventurers Guild in Port Kobe was also a tavern-cum-Adventurers Guild and there was a large number of Fishermen (I sneaked a peek at their jobs) drinking even during the day .

Miri ignored those men and briskly walked to the reception counter and placed her Adventurers Certificate on it .

“I would like to apply for a party . Please temporarily transfer this person to my party . ”

“Please, thank you . ”

“ … Please, thank you . ”

I found Miri’s honorifics lacking so I reminded her and she directly repeated after me after a beat .

The receptionist man looked at the two of us and laughed wryly .

“Understood . The processing fee will be five sense, would that be all right?”

The receptionist said so I took five copper coins from my item bag and placed it on the counter .

“Thank you . How long shall the temporary period be?”

“Is one day enough?”

“Yeah, that should be enough . One day please . ”

I agreed and requested it with the receptionist man .

“Miri should enter Haru’s party tomorrow too . ”

“Eh … Then wouldn’t Haurvatat become my party leader? But I was once that child’s master in my previous life . ”

“Ah, I guess that would be tough . ”

To give an example, it would be like a superior who switched jobs and had to work under his subordinate from his previous workplace .

“Won’t it be fine if Onii just becomes the leader?”

“No, Miri . Didn’t I already explain it to you just now?”

I replied ambiguously .

I couldn’t register with the Adventurers Guild while being Jobless and I can’t apply for a party in the Adventurers Guild if I wasn’t an Adventurer .

And I didn’t know of any other methods to apply for a party apart from doing so in the Adventurers Guild .

“You can explain later . In addition, we’ll like to request the use of the private room – – for 30 minutes . ”

Miri said as she placed ten copper coins .

I see, we certainly needed a private room to talk about my secret of being Jobless and Miri being the Demon Lord . I totally forgot about it .

“Understood, this is the key to the private room . Would you like an explanation regarding the usage of the room?”

“No need . ”

“These are the forms for the temporary transfer . ”

The man handed us the papers so Miri and I filled them in .

“Onii, looks like you’ve already learned to write . ”

Miri asked quietly .

“Yeah, it was a piece of cake . ”

I replied but, in actual fact, it was thanks to the skill I had .

After that, we handed the forms in and the temporary transfer was complete .

Now that I think about it, how exactly did Miri register with the Adventurers Guild?

Being a Demon Lord … as I was lost in thought,

“Hn? What’s wrong, Onii?”

Miri noticed my gaze and asked with a smile .

“It’s nothing, I’ll ask later . ”

I replied as we moved to the private room .

The private room had a table and chairs as well as a one-person karaoke box so the room was quite narrow but the walls didn’t seem that thick .

It looked like sound might still leak outside .

“It’ll be all right as long as we don’t speak in loud voices . ”

“But I guess it’s better to have some insurance . ”

I replied .

“[Silent Room]”

And wrapped the entire room with the 「Silent Room」 skill I acquired from Life Magic II .

With this, there would be no worries about sound leaking out .

“Oo, Onii can even use such magic . You sure have grown . ”

“Don’t be so happy for my growth . Are you my mother!?”

“Yup yup, I’ve fallen for you once again . ”

“Don’t speak nonsense . ”

I know you think strongly of family but we’re not in such romantic love relationship .

“So, can I see Miri’s status?”

“Yup, it’s fine . I’ll be looking at Onii’s status after all . ”

I got her permission so I chanted the status open magic .

“Status Open, Miri!”

But there was no reaction .

Why?

“Erm, Onii . Currently, Miri’s name in this world is Miryuu . ”

“Ah, I see … Then . ”

I smiled wryly and chanted the magic once again .

“Status Open, Miryuu . ”

Miri’s status appeared after I cast the spell .

… Hn?

What’s this?

“Miri, your status seems ordinary . Well, I guess it’s in the strong category . ”

“Eh? Ah … Sorry sorry . Take a look again . ”

“? All right . ”

I couldn’t really understand but I followed Miri’s instructions .

“Status Open, Miryuu . ”

I chanted . Miri also tagged along .

“Status Open, Ichinojo . ”

Ooo, this time I could see her true status .

Why was that? I thought to myself and immediately got the answer .

【Status Fabrication】

She could fabricate her status using that skill . But, just now during the battle, I could see through her job as Demon Lord when I used Job Appraisal so it couldn’t deceive the Job Appraisal skill . Well, Jobless skills had always been an exception .

Nevertheless, what the heck . She’s way too powerful .

“Miri, your status … Miri?”

For some reason, Miri’s complexion was seriously pale .

“Onii … what … what’s with this status!? Isn’t this broken performance!?”

She commented so I verified my own status .

I just only confirmed my own status and realized what Miri was referring to .

“I know what you want to say . Why are my skills all sword skills right? All my skills are hidden in my status management . ”

“That’s not the problem here . Why is Onii so strong!? Why do you have a ton of job mastered even though you are Jobless!?”

“Look at your own status . That will answer your question . ”

I said .

Miri looked like wanted to ask a lot more but she confirmed her own status .

And she was once again surprised when she did so .

“Eh? I have two jobs … why?”

I didn’t check but the Commoner job has probably been added to her job column along with Demon Lord .

“It’s because of my skill . Using my skill, I can assign two jobs for my companions . And I can assign five jobs for myself . ”

I explained my Jobless skill and told her that my sub jobs were Fire Magician, Water Magician, Wind Magician and Earth Magician .

Miri hesitated for a moment .

“Onii, it’s the first time I’ve seen a person with four side jobs despite being Jobless . ”

And commented with the expected ironic statement .
