Heya guys what’s up. The synopsis and Title is fixed. peace (“_”)v

Hill-san kept talking while spreading the document.
“How much does Yumir know about the”Guild”?”
“From what I’ve heard from Irvin, it's a mutual aid organization for adventurers, and offers a lot of convenience…..”
“Well, it’s not completely wrong.But there are also many other things――”
In the first place, there seems to be a large number of people claiming to be adventurers in this world.
As each country is constantly checking and there's the adventurer's guild support as a mediator, big wars won't occur.
That means lifetime is very limited at that time.
Because there are no battlefields, it became impossible to distinguish oneself.Therefore, the choices of “Rise with one arm” become narrows.[TN:(腕一つでのし上がる). Idk its right or not.]
And that's where adventurers start to appear.
There are few wars in this world, but battles with magical beasts, and their subspecies are very numerous.
Defense for towns and villages, resources supplies, merchants escorts … many adventurers, called as “Weapons” are needed in various place.
At the end of the day, you may even be asked to search for pets or to clean up an area.
And the labor force.Adventurers can't be neglected any longer.
However the problem here is the convenience for the homeless adventurers.
Just trying to get up with one arm, but then they have no backing/shield.
That means, they can be discarded anytime and anywhere.
Back in the days when the guild doesn’t exist, there were cases when adventurers are killed after they completed quest and asked for the reward
Such tyranny was dismissed as the age pass, a mutual aid organization came to protect the rights of adventurers, an adventurer guild support.
This organization, isn't just a mutual aid organization.
At any rate every adventurers who had joined numbered more than ten thousand people.
An adventurer is a valuable force that can be obtained even by normal people. And If you turn them into enemies, they can no longer be used. This will be a big problem.
Even if you hire an escort, there are unknowns that may get mixed up.
There may be amateurs who can't make good result.
Or an adventurer who is hired to defend from bandits might be a person from the bandit group itself.
With that they have to deal with suspicious individuals with unidentified or unknown skills.
In fact there are many merchants who destroyed themselves because they took the guild lightly.
It's a trustworthy fighting force in this world because it directly connects to safety.
“Therefore, we place great importance on our client’s trust.Because it's a very important factor that helps the guild's existence.”
“I see……”
“That's why, if you betray this trust – whether if it's Yumir, we will be taking action.For example,if you betray the client and robbed them of their money"
“I won't!”
Aren't you saying something that terribly rude, Hill-san.
Regarding the importance of trust, as a Japanese person, I'm very familiar with it. Saying “God is watching” would represent a racial nature. Even if others can be deceived, you can't deceive yourself.
“It's just for example.We know Yumir-san abilities very well.If we became your enemy, there will be a great sacrifice. Even so, in order to maintain the existence of the guild, we will mobilize 100 people, 1000 people, no, 10000 people to keep this philosophy. ”
“Somehow, I am hesitating to join in …….?”
I showed a frightened expression to Hill-san who expresses his resolve with a serious expression.
Even though there is a young Alicia here, don't you think it's a bit too hard?
“The reason I explained it like this, is because you people have lost your memories.Because everyone who comes here knows it. Besides, it's not that much trouble. You only have to do what is being requested. Even if you fail…… well, there are times when luck is involved, the union will support.”
“But if you can’t fulfill the request, doesn't it involved the guild's trust?”
Trust is the foundation of the Guild.If you can't fulfill the request, wouldn't it only harm the Guild……?
“And at that, there's a thing called a guild card here”
Hill took out a card from his pocket and showed it.
The card is only a plain white card at first glance……but the moment he put his fingers, letters emerged.
The characters showed up according to the movement of his finger, and it shows a really large amount of information.
It looks like a smartphone or tablet.
“This guild card is full of my personal information, age, sex, ability … … and requests achievement rate”
“……Ah”
I see, if the request achievement rate is written, it is directly connected to the reliability of the adventurer.
“Although it will also follow up failures of requests as well…… with many failures, it will clearly be stated on this card, so the client won't trust that adventurer”
“The more unsuccessful an adventurer, the more difficult it will be to take a job.”
“That’s it.That’s why let’s get straight to making a guild card.”
“Eh, I haven't received a detailed explanation yet!?”
“No explanation or anything …. For you, it seems there's no other choice but to join.”
Well, since I became the owner of the labyrinth right, I can say that a backing is essential.
So joining the guild isn't a bad thing. However, I hesitated when it came to signing suddenly, because I'm quite a timid person.
“Well, it's also a problem that if we don't do so. Then,let me explain the responsibilities for members first. And the obligation to pay tax of a certain amount for guild members”
“Tax, is it …”
I hope you can save me from difficult things. I don't mind paying tax at the end of the year.
“It’s not that difficult.The Union will automatically deduct 10% of the reward.”
“Deduction system!?”
“Don't make a disgusting expression.Because it will be pulled automatically, there will be no omission.”
“That’s right, but …”
“Besides, adventurers don't have a stable income.A regular tax payment is impossible.”
“That's …… right”
In a sense, is it a good idea to withdraw directly from the reward?
You wouldn't be able to pay without income.
“Next is the rights …… It goes without saying. You could that say you can obtain support from guild.”
“Specifically?”
“First of all it’s money”
“Money…….?”
Even if you say that, I already learned the currency. Even though taxes are automatically deducted, what…
“Yumir-san, think about it.For example, if you got a lot of money, how do you carry it?”
“…….ah I see”
The money in this world is only metal objects.
For example – let’s say you got an asset of 100 gold coins. It's a big money roughly 10 million yen in Japanese yen.
The gold coins in this world are about 3 mm in thickness and circular in size of about 4 cm.
It's quite a big size, but it's reasonable considering its value.
That means, a hundred pieces …… it has the same size as a gold bar with 30 cm in length, 4 cm thick.
It's only “money”, which is surprisingly heavy, and bulky.
In this world where only metal money exists, carrying money will be a problem.
It's extremely painful to carry money with weight of several kilograms on a long journey.
“So, there's an option to deposit the money into the guild.You can deposit in any guild branch, and because the amount you deposit is stated in the guild card, it's possible to withdraw the same amount from anywhere.”
“It is certainly much appreciated, isn't it?”
“Of course each branch have a limited budget, it may be difficult to say”Please give me ten thousand gold coins”suddenly, but we will do our best to help as much as possible, so please understand”
“I really want to have such a big money”
“What are you talking about, because you are the right holder of the labyrinth, it's already good enough”
To the resources produced by the labyrinth … Well, there's also a deviation, but there's no limit.
Therefore, if I stay in this world for a long time, there may be a chance to have such a big money.
It's a story that I can't imagine.
“Right right, about being the labyrinth owner.You,the labyrinth’s right holder will be paid 5% of the income.”
“5%.That’s a lot, isn’t it?”
“But it's just that. There are skin of monster that you only can get from labyrinth, and there are also things like gold vein.”
“The gold vein in this labyrinth … I've never seen it.”
I've never seen a metal in the first place.
Even if there's a water source and a fruit in this grassland, it might be its character.
“Well, plenty of wood can be taken, water, salt, fruit,and meat to fish, it won't be a demerit. And to take meat and fish, you need a lot of strength”
“Hahaha … ….”
I was surprised to hear that the cow that I always eat was a demon called Morax.
“By using this function, there is also a system called payment card.And you just have to learn how to do that later.”
“I'll do that.”
It's very convenient if you can pay with card.
It a system that was made because of the guild becoming a backer.
“Next is the warehouse”
“Warehouse …. Oh, it’s important”
The warehouse was also an important function even in Midgard online.
For me, who is bringing wood from the labyrinth everyday, it's reassuring to have a place to deposit it.
“Adventurers have many opportunities to obtain large amounts of equipment and materials.And there are many who leave the city. And I’m not going to carry all of my stuff on a journey.”
“I understand.And you can get robbed while leaving your luggage in inns when leaving the town.”
“That's it. It's not surprising that carrying high value assets around induces crime.”
According to him, when there was no service like this, it happened often that the innkeeper turned into a robber.
If the money that is in front of you lying defenselessly is enough to change your life, you could hear the whisper from the devil.
“Since the things are deposited here, you can't just leave the town and take it out in another town…”
“That’s natural, isn't it?”
Although if it's a game, it would be possible, but as expected it would be impossible without transition (EN: Is teleportation better?) magic.
And, if there is such magic, no one will walk in such grassland.
“Well, it’s not like we don't have it.The transition magic”
“There is!?”
“There is, but because the cost is expensive, only the royal aristocrat can use it”
“Oh, come on ……”
I thought that I could escape from here comfortably, but in reality it was not that easy.
“The magic power that is being consumed is not a joke, and I can't use it.So the explanation about the main functions and services end here”
“I roughly understood.”
“So, let’s get into making the guild card.”
“Huh, I heard that you need interview though?”
“If it's about interview, haven't you done it when we met? It's a hassle to do it twice.”
“Is that right … No, is it okay?”
“It's okay, now I'm the branch chief. There’s a fact that I actually had interviewed, so it's no problem.”
“Then, that’s fine,”
Still, to make it in place where there's no branch office, some people have bold idea.
“If I had made a bet, it would have been my victory……. it's regrettable.”
“Haha, I'm saved Hill-san rejected it”
Because Alicia can't cross the grasslands, the bet that who is faster to come up with a way to join the guild first.
If it had been established, it was obviously my defeat.
Hill-san takes out a new card and a small needle and hands it out in front of us.
“Please prick your fingertips with this needle and drip a blood on the card.The card will be made automatically by recognizing the magical pattern.The card can be displayed by placing a finger on it, but it cannot be forged because it does not respond to anyone other than the person who registered it.”
“That’s a great technology, isn't it?”
It's surprising to have a needle pierced in the finger, but I could do it lightly because I had experience of my hand blown away.
I dropped the blood onto the card and register it.
“Next is Alicia – Alicia?”
After I finished registering, I was looking for the young lady … but she ran away in haste.
Do you hate needle that much, Alicia?
