"I'll bet on Ent-user," said Vigaro.

"Heh," Borkus snorted. "How naïve. I'll be betting on Armor Master."

"Hmm, how difficult..." Zadiris paused to think. "How about the Golem Factory Manager? Those Golems that are lined up are called a factory, are they not?"

"Umm, what are you betting on?" asked Vandalieu.

Vandalieu had come to the remains of the Adventurers' Guild – which should probably be relabeled as a distribution center or trading post – to get a Job change, and spotted Vigaro and Borkus betting on something.

If there were at least cards in their hands... No, there were no playing cards in this world as paper was a precious material, but Vandalieu wouldn't have considered this unnatural if they at least had something resembling cards.

Zadiris looked up. "Ah, boy, this is, well, every time you undergo a Job-change, there are new Jobs, are there not?"

Vandalieu had received the 'Unable to learn existing Jobs' curse, but every time he visited the Job-changing room, there were new Jobs that hadn't existed before displayed for him. Vandalieu had consulted the knowledgeable Zadiris and experienced adventurer Borkus regarding this.

Of course, as the Jobs hadn't existed before, they could offer no knowledge on the Jobs themselves, but he could ask them to make guesses on Jobs that were similar to existing Jobs.

Incidentally, after his coronation ceremony, Vandalieu had explained his circumstances to everyone in Talosheim. The Ghouls, Undead Titans and even the Cemetery Bees and Immortal Ents. Everyone, without exception, was now aware that Vandalieu had lived two previous lives, that he was a human from another world, that he had been cursed by the god of reincarnation and that one hundred people would be reincarnated in this world from Origin one day.

The reactions to that had been –

"I don't really get it, but that's amazing!"

"I knew you weren't an ordinary kid, but that's amazing!"

"You lived on a continent called Another World in your previous life? On an island? A country called Earth, huh. Amazing."

Buzzing from the Cemetery Bees.

Rustling from the Immortal Ents.

Well, it seemed to have been accepted. It also seemed that nobody really understood anything about other worlds, though they did have a grasp of the concept of reincarnation.

There were apparently many among the Undead Titans who had a vague idea of his circumstances. Thinking about it, a child had created the legendary flavorings left by the Champion Zakkart, miso and soy sauce (or, to be more precise, fish sauce). It was only natural for them to wonder whether the Holy Son was also from another world.

Vandalieu had already been marked as an enemy by Alda, the god of law and fate who possessed the most influence in this world, the gods who served him as well as the Pure-breed Vampires who worshipped an evil god. An unknown god named Rodcorte had cursed him, but even Rodcorte was apparently just another god to add to the list of enemies so it wasn't considered surprising.

What a reliable and happy response.

Leaving that aside, what would happen with Vandalieu's Job?

"So we are placing bets on what Job will appear for you next," Zadiris told him.

"Leaving aside which Job you'll actually choose, kid, there's going to be new Jobs that you can actually change to, right?" said Borkus.

"What do you think will appear?" asked Vigaro.
