[Reached 100 points in Speaking. You have obtained the achievement 〈Street Hunter〉 with your excellent preaching skills. Gained +10 HP for obtaining this achievement.]

———————————————

A street hunter... Although she was proud, she somehow felt uncomfortable.
Still, getting 10 HP was really good. Perhaps stats were generously given out at an early stage to prevent beginners from leaving? She thought that she would have to master the speaking skill by doing the street part-time for a while, in addition to the temple part-time.

Before she knew it, the sun was setting. She was quickly exhausted because she had been walking around too much, so she thought she had to finish today's street evangelism part-time here.

Sylvia's shoulders were stiff because of exhaustion. When she returned home, rubbing her shoulders, Sevis greeted her at the door.

"Miss Sylvia, did the part-time job go well?"
"Yeah. I'm tired after working so hard on the first day."
"I made dinner, so let's eat together. Fortunately, tomorrow is a day off, so you can rest well."

As she walked to the table to eat the meal that Sevis had prepared, Sylvia opened her inventory. Her money had increased to 250.

'Only 250... At this rate, when will I make money to escape being a beggar and go to the secret shop?'

She sighed without realizing it.

"Ah, the money is increasing too slowly. When will I make a ton of money?"

As she talked to herself and rubbed her temples, Sevis also had a worried expression on his face. He, who was tapping the table with his finger while thinking, opened his mouth.

"I know. You said you work part-time at the temple for 4 days, right? I think you should make money even on your days off."
"Can I make money... even on my days off?"

Was it the punishment that was given to her, who lived a YOLO life enough to go to Slothful Hell? Does she have to work even on her days off? Silvia's face darkened slightly in the gloominess.

'No, get it together. If I don't do it, I'm going to go to hell.'

Fixing her darkened face, Sylvia tried to give light to her eyes again.

"Yes. There are several ways. You need money to eat and live and develop your strength. Like this, it won't be enough for the living expenses."
"Whether it's here or there, it's the same when you don't have money..."
"Don't worry. Tomorrow, we will go out together and make money."
"Together? Can you go out too?"
"Miss Sylvia, what are you talking about? Did you think I'm locked up in a corner of the house every day?"
"Ah, y-yeah..."

She, who thought of Sevis as a built-in NPC because it was a game world, stuttered out of embarrassment.
That's right, he's a person too, so he can go out. But if it's not a part-time job, how is he making money? Maybe she will find out tomorrow.

After dinner, Sylvia washed up and went to bed. Today again, Sevis laid the mattress on the floor.

'He will freeze if he keeps sleeping on the cold floor.'

The worried Sylvia called out to Sevis softly.

"Sevis, isn't the floor cold?"
"I'm fine. I've slept a lot on stone floors... Miss Sylvia, good night."
"... Alright..."

Even today, Sevis's red eyes, still looking at her, shone coldly in the darkness.

'Is it because he is a dog-shifter? His eyes are really scary.'

Sevis clearly said that he ran away from the Wolf Kingdom; but since preconceptions are terrifying, Sylvia still recognized Sevis as a dog because of his cute face.
