I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents

Chapter 27: Opportunities Are Given To Those Who Act

"...A subjugation task for reinforcing the garrison?"

"It's a subjugation task, but there's hardly any danger. The dangerous monsters are handled by high-ranking adventurers led by a hero, and newcomers just need to focus on scouting or dealing with small monsters like goblins."

It was a task where quantity was more important than level, so both high-ranking and newcomer adventurers gathered without distinction.

Certainly, with such a task, anyone could take it on without concern for their level.

Of course, if it went as the future that Airi read, I would die in this task, but then, all quests had a risk of death, so wasn't it the same whatever I did?

Moreover, the whole point was to help Merilyn so that I could prevent that future.

If minimizing variables was the goal, then perhaps the right answer would be to go to this place with her without changing anything.

"Merilyn, what do you think about this task?"

"......"

"...Merilyn?"

"Oh, sorry. I got absorbed in reading the task details without realizing it."

Merilyn spoke while carefully reading the contents of the document.

Then she continued, smiling as before.

"...Since I'm not familiar with this kind of content, I'll follow Mr. Woo Hyo-sung's opinion for now."

"Ah, yes. Then let's proceed with filling out the application..."

The silence was a bit unsettling, but it should be fine.

After filling out the documents provided by the clerk and confirming the task, I left the guild and glanced back at her.

"The task starts tomorrow, so we have some free time today... Do you have any plans afterward, Merilyn?"

"Normally, I would look for work at places like taverns to earn travel funds, but..."

She pondered, resting her chin on her hand.

Then, she glanced at me and asked cautiously.

"If it's alright, may I observe what you're doing?"

"Me? Are you talking about me?"

"Yes, since we will be working together, I thought it wouldn't be bad to spend more time together when we have the chance."

Fellow adventurers on the same task often build camaraderie by drinking together or sharing accommodations.

Such occurrences were common among adventurers, and as a porter, I had often experienced them.

If it weren't for the fact that the person in question was of the opposite gender and was attractive, I would have accepted it without much thought.

"You can follow if you like, but it won't be very interesting. I'm just planning to loosen up at the training ground in preparation for tomorrow."

"Hehe. Thank you for considering me, but you don't need to worry about that."

Merilyn, always smiling, looked back at me, modestly gathering her hands near her waist.

"From the moment I became interested in you, I have been giving meaning to every moment I spend with you..."

Interest and value.

Considering the meaning and weight implied within them, they were not words to be said to just anyone.
