Chapter 3: Story of my first unreasonable customer
“Then, I will be your first customer”
Sarah sat down on the seat opposite mine . Her red hair bouncing as she did so .
“Since you are my first customer I will give you a deal, 1 big copper coin? No 3 coppers” .
I can live for 2 weeks with 1 large copper coin whereas 3 coppers will do me for 2 maybe 3 days . Well I guess there’s no helping it .
“Hmm… should I? Oh well”
“Well, if you have no money then I won’t take any . ”
“Understood, then please . ”
First of all, make an oral agreement .
You do not make a contract with one another .
Many adventurers cannot read, so they feel that you are trying to deceive them .
“So, what’s the matter”
“Not me, my archer friend in another party needs help . Arrows are very costly, but the party’s not willing to cover the expenses . ”
“Because I cannot earn enough to cover the costs, I was told to leave . ” (TN: Her friend?)

“There are two problems . First . Sarah was also troubled by the cost of arrows, so you should buy them in bulk . Rather if you buy with Sarah it will be cheaper . Second there is no rule for sharing expenses for adventurers . Well, there are teller staff for major adventure groups but it’s impossible for a newbie team .
“So, for the first one I should buy arrows in bulk, but what should I do for the second one? I told you that arrows are expensive, but I heard that swordsmen also have to pay for sword sharpening and the magician also said that catalyst are expensive… I do not know whether my party’s opinion is correct or not . ”
(TN: when they were talking about arrows they actually said arrowhead but that made no sense . )
“You should join up with another party . In the meantime, I will make a manual for shopping . ”
“Is that not what the Adventurer Guild is doing?”
“Such bureaucracy is keeping amateurs from rising up!” I spit .

In this world, a thing called the Adventurer’s Guild exists .
However, what they actually do is possibly closer to modern day employment agencies .
They handle allocating requests to parties capable of completing them, confirm completion of said requests and make payment .
They handle the registration, resignation and death of adventurers, they also purchase materials from monsters . But that’s it .
While they provide a lot of support for high-ranking adventures, they do not give enough support to novice adventurers .
It is different from a game .

There is no support for beginners . The uneducated people come from rural areas usally challenge reckless requests and die . If they don’t die then they usually retire from suffering crippling wounds without any compensation to help them .
In the first-year half of them die .
That’s just what type of work it is .
It is my amateur business against the Adventurer’s Guild .
Though even if I make a manual there is no meaning in distributing it among those that cannot read .
It would be literally reaching for a castle in the sky .
How to teach trading and negotiations to those that do not even know how to read .
It is quite troubling .
