It was at that time the guild staff heard about me.
According to the rumors, I taught novices and young adventurers how to read and write and how to calculate for free. I also gave them free meals.
When they checked whether such a strange person existed, they found out that the rumor was true. Because of the exaggerated rumors, people started calling me a saint. I want them to give me a break. Just who is a saint?
However, from the guild’s point of view, I was exactly what they needed. But that didn’t mean they could just force me. So, the guild master told the staff to collect information on me and strictly ordered them to refrain from doing anything rash since he would handle this matter alone.
I wanted to tell them that I didn’t care about any of their explanations. It’s all their own problem anyway.
By the way, the source of the rumors was Gim’s friend.
They got excited at a bar and started talking about me. However, unlike the widespread rumors, it seemed like they only said that, “She teaches literacy and calculation for a small fee so cheap that you can even say that it’s free,” “the food she cooks is incredibly delicious”. But before they noticed it, the story got exaggerated to a crazy amount. And for some reason, people started treating me as a saint who did stuff for free.
Regarding Gim’s friends, you could say that they repaid my kindness with ingratitude, but hmm… I’ll tolerate them this time. It’s bad that they were speaking nonsense at the bar, but this cancels my debt to Gim just now.
“I see, I understand the situation. But I refuse.”
“So it’s still a no… Is it because of the way Ricardo acted?”
“There’s that too, but I feel like if I accept this, it will prove that I’m a saint. I hate that.”
“It’s certainly possible, but with our current circumstances, we can’t afford to back out now. How about this? We’ll raise your adventurer rank with a special rule and provide you a reward from the guild?”
“I’ll pass. If I receive such special treatment, other adventurers may reject or bully me.”
“That’s… I suppose you’re right. Most people will feel jealous…”
“In the first place, if you don’t have anyone to teach the adventurers, how about increasing your staff? You can’t ask for a public contribution?”
“It’s not that easy… It’s not like we can side with the country and the aristocrats. The Adventurer’s Guild is a neutral international guild. If we ask for a public contribution, the commoners will also apply. If it was the child of a merchant, it’d be fine, but if it were a commoner, we have to teach them literacy and calculation or they won’t be much of a use.”
“What about that person earlier? Can he read, write, and calculate?”
“He’s… I guess he can, but not very good at it. I’ll just say it here, but he’s the third son of a noble family who can’t become the heir or marry into another family. In the end, his parents asked us to hire him so we did, albeit unwillingly.”
As I thought, that self-proclaimed guild staff person was the stupid son of the noble family who took care of Gilmouth when he was young. The parents told him that he didn’t have to give him special treatment and that they didn’t care if he was punished for causing problems. Apparently he’s done something like this before so this time he’ll be given a severe punishment.
“The son of a noble family received education for literacy, calculation, and administrative skills. That alone would make them an immediate asset to the team. Not to mention that the men learn martial arts such as swordsmanship. I might be able to rely on them if there was a fight, but…”
