Chapter 3 Long-wishing adventurer life

"Thanks for everything, Noor!　Thanks for the help. No, thank you. I'm always grateful for your help, Aunt Stella. As usual, I completed the request for the "ditch cleaning" quest. I got a sign of accomplishment from the client lady and ran to the next client. I remember well the first time I visited my aunt's house. It was my first job as an adventurer, a memorable one. This is a part of the city of King's Landing, but it is quite close to the outside. Unlike the central part of the city, where the government provides a thorough cleaning service, the residents clean the city themselves. But my client, Aunt Stella, has bad legs and eyesight, her husband and son are dead, and she lives alone. She lives alone. She has no relatives to rely on, so she is unable to do the cleaning. As a result, the gutters around her house, which had never been cleaned, began to emit a rotten smell. The woman was so troubled that she requested the Adventurer's Guild. She wanted someone to do something and help her. However, no one would accept her request. It seems that the reward she offered was not attractive to ordinary adventurers. The guild gave priority to requests for demon slaying and urgent gathering. I guess the guild felt that the cleaning of the city gutters could be done by anyone available. That is why they have been neglected for a long time. When he was at a loss for what to do, I happened to show up. When I finished the job, he was very grateful. Since then, he has been a client of mine. They are always very happy when I finish the cleaning. So, I tend to do more than what they ask me to do. As I become accustomed to cleaning, the area of the gutters that I am asked to clean will soon be finished, so each time, I expand the area a little bit and do a little extra. The people around me appreciate it, and I don't feel bad about it. This job certainly does not pay much. But I find it very rewarding. It's nice to see the smiles on people's faces. Above all, it feels good to see the city being cleaned up little by little with my hands. However, it seems that I worked too hard today. I've been working so hard that I've lost track of time, and I'm late leaving for the next site. "Can you make it ......? I rushed through the streets of the city, turned two corners, and arrived at the construction site where I was greeted by the foreman. The second client of the day. "Oh, you're right on time, Noor. You're right on time, Noll. I've been working as an earth mover at this construction site almost every day since the morning dumping. The capital has long been famous for its huge labyrinths and is called the "Holy Land of Adventurers". Recently, the roads in front of the labyrinth have been expanded, and a large number of workers are needed. The foreman of this construction site likes me, and he talks to me like this every day. But I'm not. It's nice of you to say so, but ...... I'm fine the way I am. It has become customary for me to refuse such offers. It's a shame, really. ...... I feel sorry for the disappointed director. However, it seems that he can't give up his dream. It's like a habit. I still want to be an adventurer. I want to have adventures like heroic tales. Even if it seems almost reckless. And so, as I diligently carried the earth, it quickly became the end of the day. The day's work is done. Thanks to you, we've got a lot of time to spare. I'll see you tomorrow, Noor. Good luck. "Yeah, take care of it. I'll get the client's signature on the request form as usual. After I report to the guild and get paid, I'll take a bath and go back to the vacant lot for my usual training. That's when I was about to leave the site. At the back of the construction site where I was working, towards the entrance of the Labyrinth of No Return, I saw something glow for a moment. A strong, reddish-purple light. "What is it? And at the same time. "Somebody help me... At the same time, I thought I heard someone's fading scream from somewhere.
