I Was Reincarnated But I Don't Know Why Chapter 39

TL: Yuki

________________________________________________

With my height I wasn't able to reach the reception counter by just looking up which made my neck felt like it would break, and that's by clutching the counter, I lift myself up.

I immediately made in contact with the onee-san in the reception which made her flinch for a bit, though she responded as if nothing after.

「What is it?」

「Umm, well, I want an ID card」

「Do you mean a guild card? Do you want to register as an adventurer?」

「Yes」

「If that's the case, then can you select an F Rank request from that board and bring it over here, that will also serve as your registration exam」

「There was an exam」

「That's right, for now find a quest over there that you think you could handle then I will tell you about the details of the exam」

「Alright」

It's probably necessary for me to read letters is what I thought after jumping off the counter an heading towards the board.

「Betty, I'm sorry but can you read it for me?」

『Alright, I don't mind』

When I asked her in a silent voice, Helvetia kindly agreed. I thought that she would refuse and I would be troubled but it's all good.

There were several people looking at the requests at the side of the board. When I approached, everyone just took a glance at me and returned their view at the board. It seems like they also don't want to bother me.

Well then, looking at the requests for myself, ugh it was a h.e.l.lish mesh of characters for me.

Although it's beautifully handwritten probably by staff members, I couldn't find any ill.u.s.trations in it. I was thinking that I would have managed to understand the quest if there were ill.u.s.trations.

『Fumu, this is quite a good way to write, it's also easy to understand』

Helvetia on my side raised a voice as if impressed about how they write the request, she then pointed at a request and tells me the formatting detail of the requests.

『First of all, the bold letters at the top, is a rough t.i.tle of the request like this《Herb Collection Request》. The next part is the Rank of the request, and it seems like ranks are divided on the placement of the requests itself where the bottom part is F Rank』

If it's around F or E Rank even a bit above from it, I probably won't have any problems, however in this case, it's probably better for me to take an F Rank request, right?

『Next would be the details of the request which is placed below the bold t.i.tle, and lastly at the bottom is the reward. Hmmm, looking at it closely, it seems like subjugation quests start at E-Rank and F-Rank are mostly miscellaneous quests like cleaning, was.h.i.+ng dishes, searching for lost items and the likes , although there's also collection quests that have gathering spots near the capital.』

Eeeh…… Well I did expect the herb collection, however I never knew that they also offer quests that adventurers don't normally do like cleaning or was.h.i.+ng dishes.

「There's no monster subjugation……」

I unintentionally sighed after knowing that, and when it comes to collection requests I don't really know what to collect or the name of the herbs that I will be tasked to gather, however that's the only adventurer-like job available.

『Well then, shall we try learning to read from what I'm pointing at?』

When I responded to her, she started reading about the details of the quests.

「And so you decided for herb collection. Please collect herbs that are similar to the ones placed on this table. Do you have any problems with this? 」

In the end, I decided to ignore the dishwas.h.i.+ng and cleaning quests and proceed with the herb collection quest that I first found.

Those other quests didn't seem like what an adventurer would do after all.

And so, when I found that quest again, I pulled it off and brought it to the counter. There she shows me the detailed information about the quest with a picture of the target and the amount, but is this amount really easy to get? This is a joke, right?

『I can tell you about the herbs, you are my partner after all, you don't have to worry about it』

「U, un」

When the receptionist and Helvetia confirms, the receptionist leans over to look at me.

「It doesn't seem like you have a tool bag for carrying things, do you want to borrow one?」

That's right, tool bags. That's what mom told me to buy when I arrive here.

「I don't, please let me borrow one」

「We will need a deposit for lending the bag, the price is 1000 Gris. The full amount will be returned when the bag is returned」

Of course there is a rental huh, after all there's a chance that the bag will not return, so that deposit probably serves as collateral.

After taking out some coins from my pocket and handing the money, I was given a small bag about 20cm big with a long belt. Is this the tool bag?

「The load capacity of that bag is around 2 Kilos, that should be good enough」

Hmm, 2 Kilos is it? In other words, it will be something like that《That》. Although I didn't really notice nor seen one up close, is that the reason why we didn't carry that much luggage when we visited the capital.

「Got it」

「The deadline for the collection quest is in 5 days, so please complete the quest on or before that time and return here. The amount required is 400 grams and if you were able to collect more than that, it will be fine to either sell it to the guild for remuneration or take the rest home」

「Nn, will go, be back soon」

After wearing the tool bag and leaving the counter, I heard some concerning information from the table.

「Are you serious, a Giant Subjugation」

「That's what they say and I also find it strange, it's still unclear why though and there's no information about it yet」

「But then what about the rewards…」

『What, Giant Subjugation?』

Helvetia also responds to those words, although I was a bit interested it, it would be meaningless for me even if I stop and listen to the details.

「Is there something wrong with what they said?」

『Umu, you see Giants, when speaking about the Giants then I could only think about the Giant Race, however the Giant Race I know of are inherently a gentle and wise race that value there group and would usually stay out of troublesome matters. Also, if they weren't attacked first, they wouldn't go out of their way to rampage』

「Then, maybe a monster?」

『No, you see, there is only a 《Giant Race》 that people would refer to and they are not monsters. It's a race that doesn't rely on magic power adding the fact that they don't interact with other races. They may be deemed inferior because of that, but if educated properly then they have enough intelligence to learn immediately』

I see, it's quite a unique tribe, but how big exactly are the giants. Well even though I think it's funny, it's not a story that I can carelessly talk about. It will probably end up not in a good way, adding to the fact that Helvetia is also angry about it. For the time being, I'll give priority to my herb collection quest.

It's currently around lunchtime, I wonder if I could return immediate after having a meal first, but well the deadline is in five days so it's probably fine for me to return around sun down.

After reaching the gate, I give my greetings to the soldier watching over the gate.

「Ummm, excuse me, can I got out」

「Hmmm, are you going out on an errand?」

「Adventurer, Exam, promise will return soon」

「Well knowing that it's you Toto-san, I won't have to worry about it. However, there are monsters outside so do be careful out there」

「Nn, thank you」

After reaching a distance away from the gate, I stretched my body with my palm facing the sky. I need to return before sundown so I will have to do my best.

「Betty, you promised, where are they?」

『Mu, those herbs grow naturally on the gra.s.slands, but I think going to the forest would be the quickest way to find those』

Fumu, The forest is it, it should be over there.

Closing my eyes for a bit, I concentrated my nerves all on my hearing. The sound of the wind, the rustling sound of gra.s.s, the sound of flowing water in the distance, the breath of beasts, and the noise of the city behind me which is really noisy.

「Over there, I think」

I could hear the sound of rustling branches swaying from the wind and various other sounds, then focusing my vision on that direction I was able to find a forest and that place should be good enough.

「I have arrived」

『You idiot, you were way too fast』

Fufun, I will be able to find a forest immediately if I put my mind on it. The gra.s.s around here is a little high so it's hard to walk. Forcing my way into this place may let bugs attack me, but well that won't really matter. I already got used when I was living in the village.

It's a bit annoying walking in a path without a proper road so I followed animal trails to make it easier for me to travel. Although I'm relying on Helvetia's knowledge, I also collect other things which Rikka pointed out when we were collecting edible Forest Gra.s.s and herbs.

After pulling out herbs and placing them in the tool bag, but the moment I place my hand with herbs inside the bag the feel of the herb disappeared which was quite a mysterious feeling.

And so, because I was curious about the tool bag, I placed my hand inside once more. Right then, information was about what was inside the bag was displayed in my head making me understood its contents and how to take it out.

It was an Item Bag after all! When I wanted to take a medicinal herb displayed in my head as a test, I felt something touching my fingertips.

When I pulled it out, the medicinal herb was firmly placed on my hand. This is definitely a convenient tool, that's why mom recommended me to buy one as soon as possible.

Out of curiosity, I tried inserting a large and heavy stoe that I found into the bag, but it seems like I couldn't put inside anything that is heavier than what it could contain. The size of the stone was also bigger than the mouth of the bag. Helvetia was looking at me with a strange look when I was doing such strange behavior.

「It's, it's a first for me, you know」

I pointed at the tool bag insisting that it's out of curiosity, and she also nodded in agreement.

『Is that so, although from my perspective, it looks like it wasn't the first time you did it and was testing it out, so it's probably a part of your memory resurfacing』

It seems like she was satisfied with that, then Helvetia pointed out locations of herbs here and there which I harvested.

「If there is this many, this will probably finish soon」

『Umu, well, there's still a lot of time so it will probably be filled by the time we return at sundown』

I could also feel presence of monsters in the surroundings, but it seems like they were afraid to approach me so I ignored them. There was one that did come close out of curiosity, but it immediately fled the moment I focused my attention on them. They probably won't come to attack right, or maybe they were just worried about my movements?

『Those were warfolves, and it seems like they remembered your scent and is really afraid of you』

「Eh, they were related to the ones I've defeated before?」

『Yes, that is so. At the current condition, it seems like there won't be any attacks coming from them』

「Ah, Un」

Because Helvetia rea.s.sured me that they were related to the ones I've encountered before and was avoiding me, I decided to ignore them and continued gathering herbs.
