Employee Recruitment Episode 6
 

 A/N:

I’ll try to only write a foreword next time I have some sort of contact with you I’ll write a little bit of the afterword…

So, here you go.

–In the case of daughter of innkeeper of the largest inn in a certain country–

「Next in line, please.」

 
「Yes.」

Open the door and enter Carla’s room. I think we are pretty good friends Carla and me, but this is the first time I’ve been in her room.
There may be some secret for the popularity here. I need to take a good look at it.

「Okay, I’ll mark you as a failed」

At the opening, Carla said something like that.

「Wait, please make sure you test me properly! 」
I was stunned. Suddenly failing the exam would be too unreasonable, wouldn’t it?!

「But hey, we can’t hire Anna-chan, can we? You’re thinking of going back to your home, aren’t you? We’re going to choose someone who’ll be staying at our inn for the rest of their life, so Anna-chan won’t be able to do it.」 

「no no, i am anna not their daughter 」 (TN: Translator can’t make what she’s saying but something along the line of denying being a daughter or trying to hide it like that)

「That’s why we can’t pass you on the test, right Anna? 」 

「Wait, Carla-san is too bad! I think it would be nice if you could tell me a little bit about the inn!! I came to work directly like this because you wouldn’t tell me at all, but even that is no good?!”」

I was going to learn as much as I could about the inn before I left, so I couldn’t back out so easily. Ms. Carla made a very attractive proposal to me, while giving me a slightly troubled air.

「If you want to know about the inn, you can usually come and I’ll teach you. I used to be young and I used to think ‘I alone have the monopoly on technology’, but that’s not the case anymore. Besides, I want Anna-chan to make sure that she’ll be able to stay at home properly, so I’ll just reject her if she comes here. Well, I think me and Anna-chan are good friends and I want to be good friends with you, so please come back and visit me again, okay?」
(TN:I think it’s a third person dialogue like some noble speech mentioning other in third form)
 

「 I have taken your word! If you lie to me, you’re going to get a “Keatigo” (a nut-shaped demon that looks a lot like a raspberry. If you mistake it for a raspberry and eat it, it will explode in your oesophagus and attack you by sticking countless needles down your throat. It’s not life-threatening, but victim will be unable to eat for two weeks afterwards. It’s often used for harassment) and I’m going to get you to eat it! 」 

「…… That’s frightening. But don’t worry, I can’t go too deep but I’ll teach you everything I know. 」

Isn’t this proposal a pretty good one?　Just by going out to play, you can learn a lot about the inn. Besides, it’s not often you get such a good deal because you get to learn for free what you’ve been wanted for years.
I came to a momentary conclusion in my head and spoke to Carla.
Even so, I’m glad that Carla thought I was on good terms with her.

「Then promise me. It doesn’t matter if I don’t pass the exam, the next time I come to play, can you tell me about the inn properly? Also, I want to get along with Ms. Carla, and I think we are good friends. I’ll look forward to working with you, won’t I? 」 

「Yeah, nice to meet you.」

 
「Well, I am sorry to have bothered you today. Good luck with the rest of your exams. Now, if you’ll excuse me.」 

「Yes, thank you.」

I tell Carla how I feel and quickly leave the room. The expression on Carla’s face as I walked out was as expressionless as ever, but it seemed to me that she was smiling somehow.
-I’m sure I have a very nice smile on my face right now.

–In the case of Mia, an active Class A adventurer…

Today is the day of destiny.
Ah, I’m late to introduce myself, my name is “Mia Xillia”, I’m an adventurer. Today I came to this “Dragon emperor’s inn” to take the employee recruitment test.
The owner of this inn, Ms. Carla and I actually know each other. All right, I’ll tell you a little bit about how we met.
That was about four years ago now. ……

◇◆◇◆◇

I was a fledgling adventurer at the time.

「I wonder if I’ll get any good requests today.」

I had just finally become a D-level adventurer and spent my days doing simple gathering requests and the like. The reason is simple, with an adventurer of my level there is a high chance that I will be easily defeated by demons. If you can form a party, it is a different story but unfortunately there are not many people who can team up with low-level adventurers.

Most female adventurers would team up with a strong male adventurer to complete their requests but unfortunately, I wasn’t very good with men, so I never teamed up with anyone.
Most of these female adventurers hunt and gather in relatively safe areas to gain experience and level up until they are competent.

I was asked to go to the “Plains of Beyer” a little northeast of King’s Landing to collect “Sleeping Grass”, which is the raw material for sleeping pills.
The 30 coppers for collecting just one bottle is a pretty tasty request, and considering that the sleeping potion itself is sold for 50 coppers, you can see that it’s a pretty tasty request.

If it is such a delicious request, it seems that there is a backside but “Bayer’s Plain” have weak demons, “Sleeping (Nemuri) grass” is also clumped and the owner of the client’s tool shop is also a good person, so I thought that there would be less danger. 

I am smoothly collecting the samples. Just when we were about to call it quits and head back to the neighbouring village, “it” appeared.
In response to the damp sound of stomping on the grass, I turned around and saw a monster called “Inosi” that closely resembled a boar.
I despaired when I saw his huge muscular physique, covered in black fur all over his body. 

After all, the demon that rages in the land of Clan Reed, where the monster is said to be more than one step stronger than in any other place, is alone and I have no shield to hide and met it on this plain…

◇◆◇◆◇

Whew, the narrative has gone a little too far.

「Next in line, please.」

Oops, it looks like I’ve been called.

「Excuse me! 」

I reached for the door.

◇◆◇◆◇

When I was attacked by a demon, I used all the technology I had to fend off the Demon’s attack. The attack of the “inosi” is a high-speed body strike using the agility that does not suit its huge body, which is over four meters long and weighs several hundred kilograms so it is possible to avoid it if you can shift your body out of the line of fire.

Unable to avoid being hit, my left arm slightly touched the opponent’s huge body. I only touched it by a few centimeters or even a few millimeters but my body was blown away so, hard that my left arm was completely broken and useless. 

I was in a near-death state with severe pain running down my left arm and bruises all over my body from being blown away so widely, and I was prepared to [die] from the huge body that was approaching me. That’s when.

「Oh! Dear, this is not good.」

I heard a voice that sounded very distracted and not at all like the one I would hear in that tight situation.
I opened my eyes to the sign of [death] that never came, and there it was, ……
There was a goddess lifting a “huge black mass” with one arm while looking at us.

「Huh! 」 

「Yes? 」 

「Let’s see.」 

「Oh, I’ll heal your wounds, right? 」 

「！！！！」

As I was confused, not understanding the situation the Goddess cast a spell on me with her other free hand. A wave of warm light surrounded me instantly. My injuries were healed in an instant, along with all my lost strength. I later realized that it was something called “recovery magic” which I’ve heard a lot about recently. Even the anomaly…

But at the time, I couldn’t afford to worry about such things.

「eh? Eh? 」 

「I’ve healed your injuries, so please keep up the good work and continue with your request. Well, I’ll leave you to it. 」

Leaving such words behind, the goddess leaves while lightly playing a trick on the black mass with a gait that doesn’t make you feel the weight of it at all. I called out to her, as I was awe struck.

「Oh, um, Goddess! 」 

「What’s with the nickname? I’m ‘carla’.」
 

「Well, then, Ms. Carla.」
 

「Yes, what is it?」 

「”The ……, uh, ……”」

◇◆◇◆◇

The acquaintance relation of Carla and me began in this way because I hailed her. After that, I made a party with Carla and had a little adventure.
I never thought that I would try to fight, me who is only level 20 or so against a dragon one of the strongest species. …… I think it was a good thing, because it allowed me to reach A-level adventurer in a short period of time.

After that, we kept in touch with each other for a short period of time until Carla retired. Well, when my friend’s junior adventurer Luka got acquainted with Carla, I thought ‘the world is a small place~’. And well, this is how I get along with Carla.

So, will I go through today’s exam with the earnest hope of being able to work with the Goddess?
You’ll have to wait and see. My Goddess ！！！！

–In the case of the highest officer in a certain country–

「Next in line, please.」 

「Excuse me.」

I walk into the room as I’m called.

「’Ah~, you’ve been rejected」 

「Why? 」 

「No, I think it’s the one that says why …… This is not a place for someone of your high status. 」

「Come on, it’s prejudice. Carla is being prejudiced! 」

You’re being unreasonable, aren’t you? We’re here to take the test and you’re trying to turn us away.

「Yes, yes, I’m well aware of the Emperor’s antics, so please leave us for today.」 

「It’s terrible, it’s domineering, I want to work with Carla-chan. If you’re going to drive me back here, be my secretary. 」 

「Yes, yes, I’m well aware of the Emperor’s antics, so please leave us for today.」 

「No, that’s why if you’re going to drive me back, my secretary n: 「Yes yes, I am well aware of the Emperor’s play, so please take it back today…」」 

「……」 

「……」 

「……t to turn me away 「Yes, yes, I’m well aware of the Emperor’s antics, so please leave us for today. 」 ……I’m sorry.」

If you repeat the same line with a completely emotional face, I will cry too.

「Yes, thank you for your hard work. Your Majesty the Emperor should think about the Empire properly and devote himself to political affairs, right? 」 

「Hmm, you’re less open than you used to be. Well, I just came here because I was curious. You’re welcome to marry one of my sons any time you like, Carla. 」 

「The emperor’s Majesty n 「Yes, yes, that’s enough! …… 」Huh, if you don’t leave early Mr. Karman will be angry with you, won’t he?. I’m sure I’ll come visit you again, so thank you for your time okay? 」 

「Mm, you’re welcome to come anytime. Now, if you’ll excuse me. Next 」

(Hmm, it seems that Carla was looking for a mate is a lie after all. Good, good, good. )
I walked through the door with that thought in my mind. 　

A demoness was before the door.…
