We arrived at a guild, not only offered a job to take, there was also a bar here.

What amazes me all the servants here are all animal ears.

At first I didn't intend to go in because I don't like alcohol, but just to see the waiter I guess it's fine.

"They're from the demi-human race, huh?"

"Is that so, are you interested?" The one who answered my question was a shoulder-length red-haired woman in a long dress the same color as her hair.

I just nodded in response.

The woman looks at me and irises, she watches the two of us in turn.

"Looks like you guys are newcomers, I've never seen you guys before. Can I help you at my guild?"

"..." Iris and I fell silent and looked at each other.

"Ah, that's right, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Miya Xerospher, the guild leader of this guild."

""What a coincidence, my name is naoto and this is iris we both came here wanting to join the guild."

"Can you guys use magic?"

"I'm not sure, but Iris can use healing magic."

"I see, those who can't use magic they will be listed as F-rank adventurers, while those who can will immediately be C-ranked."

"Why is that?" I expressed my objection and asked why.

"This is to make it easier for us to give emergency missions."

"Emergency mission?"

"An emergency mission is an event where it endangers the entire city. Usually we give an announcement over the loudspeaker."

Miya was silent for a moment then continued.

"We don't limit everyone who will take the quiz, sometimes there are F rank who take the Quiz for C rank or vice versa."

I ask again, "If for example the person who gets the emergency mission refuses his request, what happens to them?"

"We'll kick him out of town,"

Miya's answer surprised me, not that everyone has the right to decide whether or not to participate in a mission, if it's like this, this is tantamount to coercion.

As if miya could read my mind, she said something.

"After all, the city's security priority is paramount, if a high-ranked adventurer refuses an emergency mission, isn't that the same as he doesn't care about this city?"

what miya said was true, but i couldn't possibly leave iris in a dangerous situation, however her powers were now sealed, letting her enter the guild would be tantamount to sending her to death.

"I see, I didn't join the guild, I couldn't send Iris to a dangerous place,"

Now it was Miya's turn to be surprised.

"Are you sure?"

"It's fine with me, I can make money some other way, come on Iris, let's get out of here."

I pulled iris' hand without letting her resist.

"If you change your mind, you can come back!" Miya shouted at me, but I just kept quiet and kept walking out the door.

Iris looked at me with a feeling that was hard to say. It's like worry mixed with joy.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"Nothing." he answered shortly then walked away.

"Oi, wait for me."

***

the two of us sat on chairs in the middle of the city.

"So how do we get money? I haven't eaten yet and it makes my stomach hurt," said Iris while holding her stomach.

"I'm sorry, I'll be looking for information maybe there's something we can do to eat, wait a minute."

I walked over to a little girl with gray twin ponytails who was standing at the fountain. I don't know what he's doing, maybe he's playing balance.

"Hey, you little girl over there,"

Seeing the girl furrowed her brows.

"You're annoying, pissing me off, What do you want from me?"

She's still small but his speaking style is very rude, I think when she grows up she will be the next demon lord.

"I just wanted to ask you something."

"What do you want to ask? Hurry up, I'm busy."

This kid pisses me off. But my current question is more important than dealing with it.

"I just came to this town, do you know how to earn money other than joining a guild?"

She paused for a moment to think about something.

"If you're a woman, you can sell your body."

This girl, feel like I want to beat him up.

"I'm an alchemist, if you need money you can pick herbs and sell them to me, my house is just down the road."

The little girl said while pointing at her house.

An alchemist is someone who uses potions to fight, they also sometimes make healing potions or sell them. I guess there's no harm in trying, it's just...

"I don't know what kind of materials to collect,"

"You're an idiot, haven't you ever been to a magic academy."

"I'm not a witch, you see what I'm wearing."

"You're right, your clothes look weird."

"This is called a jersey or sports jacket, you see this, this is the Liverpool club logo."

"Yeah, I don't care."

The girl reached into her robe pocket for a leaf and gave it to me.

"You can pick them in the mountains around here, I used to make potions with them."

"I see, thanks." I answered.

"I'll pay for the basket for 1,000 Nil, that's the market price."

Nile is the currency in this world, I don't know what the range is, which is clearly enough to rent lodging and food for 2 days.

"Okay, thanks, after that I'll take her to your house... you're great, you're still young but you can already become an alchemist."

"You're asking me to fight? I'm 18 years old, my name is Anya."

"Sorry about that, my name is naoto and you see that girl, her name is Iris."

Anya turned her gaze to where I pointed to where Iris was sitting.

"I-isn't that goddess Iris? How did she get here? You kidnapped her?"

"What do you mean?"

Before long, irises appeared from behind me.

"Hi anya, long time no see. Nice to meet you again. hmmm... looks like you've grown a bit."

"It's true, you are the goddess of iris... What are you doing here? Did this man kidnap you? Did he misbehave with you? If so, let me punish him with death,"

"No, there's no way someone like him could kidnap me, he's hmmm... he's my servant."

"Oi!"

Eris chuckled.

Iris explained everything that happened to Anya.

Anya nodded in understanding.

"I'm also from another world, if you don't mind come with me, I can prepare some food for you."

"Really? I really thank you."

Suddenly she looked at me sharply.

"You brought goddess iris here but you didn't even give her food... You really are the worst."

"It's not my fault, now I'm poor, but one day I will make Iris happy."

"Iris?"

"I asked her to call me that myself, I'm afraid that other people will suspect if you call me a goddess, if you want you can call me Iris too."

"Really? It's an honor for me."

This kid really admires the figure of iris, if I mess with iris, I think he will do something bad to me... I don't want to think about it.

Before reaching the front door of his house I asked him something.

"Anya, can you keep Iris for a few days?"

Not only Anya, Iris looked confused.

"Well, you know I don't have money or even a place to live, I guess I'll have to earn some money for a few days at least until I can buy food and pay for lodging, so I want to leave Iris with you, of course I'll pay all the costs."

"You don't have to change it, nor do I mind if Iris stays with me forever, that's if Iris wants to."

"Good to hear that, then I'm leaving."

"Naoto?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll bring a lot of money, see you later."

I left the two of them, at least Iris has shelter and food supplies, I'm a little sorry that I can't do anything for her.

"He should have eaten before he left," said Iris.

***

I searched for leaves on every plant that existed. Using the leaves that Anya gave me, I started to match them with every plant I passed, I don't know the name of this plant, to me they all look the same.

After a long search, I finally found the leaf I was looking for, so I collected it until I got a bag full. With this I can exchange for money.

While taking a deep breath, I lay down my tired body on the grass while looking at the twilight sky, the orange sky is very so charming.

"E-eh?"

I was surprised when someone moved my head on his lap, this is what is called a thigh pad.

Unlike the confused me, the girl smiled sweetly.

"Iris, what are you doing here?"

"You just left a goddess with someone else, you want to run away? Who really invited me to this world?"

I then sat facing him.

"Well, it's only a few days until I can rent an inn, do you really want to sleep outside?"

"Stupid, wherever I am will be fine as long as I'm still near you."

"What are you talking about? I can't hear it."

"I don't want to say it again."

"Are you worried about me?"

"Noisy... if you still tease me, I will punish you."

"Tch, I don't want to imagine it." i answered weakly.

Suddenly Iris gave me a piece of bread, I immediately ate it voraciously.

"Thanks to Anya, she left this to me," said Iris, turning her face away.

"You lie,"

"what?"

"Nothing."

After finishing all the bread, I stood gazing at the city before turning to stare at Iris.

"Let's go back to town, I'll buy you some delicious grilled fish,"

"Hm,"
