Day 114: So there are surveillance missions too!
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Moon Sheep, 5th day.
Weather: Sunny
Hah… I interrogated Ms. Nico after that, and she really did use some of the money she had earned.
There had been so many materials and equipment that she wanted, and she could control herself… Really!!
Using it was fine… After all, she had worked hard to make the deodorizers.
I just wanted her to confide in me first… And since she was sorry, I did forgive her.
…Now, it was time to switch gears today and do our best on this job together.
And so we headed to the Adventurers Guild in order to search for work.
When we went inside, we saw that things had calmed down compared to yesterday.
However, the guild workers were still moving around busily in the back.
It seemed that we should keep an eye out for information regarding the storm for some time.
While thinking of such things, we went to the quest board.
As for the job that Ms. Shu told me about…there were none today as well.
Was there a specific time when such missions were available? Similar to deliveries?
I suppose I’ll ask the muscular guild worker about it later.
Now to look at the other… Huh? Did you find something, Ms. Noa?
Hmm, let me see that… Surveillance? That was definitely unusual.
The location was a lighthouse on a cape about five hours from the port. And the subject under surveillance was…mermaids?
If they sat near the rocks by the lighthouse, we were to chase them away before they started to sing.
I had heard stories about ships being lured by their voices and becoming stranded in shallow waters.
And so this job was to prevent such things by keeping them away.
The pay was quite good, so we should do it! Besides, I want to see a mermaid!
After we accepted the request, it was time to rush to the lighthouse.
As they became active during the night, we had to arrive there soon.
Ah, when accepting the request, I asked the guild worker about escort missions.
Apparently, they tended to be put out during the night.
Well, I would focus on the job in front of us right now.
Once the sun began to set on the horizon, we finally arrived at the lighthouse.
It was a beautiful structure made of white bricks. And there was one wooden hut next to it.
Yes, that’s right. We were also in charge of the lighthouse tonight.
Well, all that meant was that we were to turn the light on at the designated time.
We entered the hut and I helped Ms. Noa prepare dinner.
As always, Ms. Nico went out in order to search for materials.
This hut was meant for the lighthouse keepers, so we were allowed to use it freely.
I hadn’t wanted to pitch a tent, as there was a lot of wind. So I was grateful for it.
Ms. Nico returned just as dinner was ready.
She had a lot of materials in her arms… Huh? What is that yellow crystal?
I asked. But even Ms. Nico did not know.
Still, it was very clear and shiny and pretty… Maybe they’ll accept it at the guild?
Oh, this isn’t the time to be thinking about that! Let’s eat before the food gets cold.
We have to hurry up and finish eating and prepare for a long night… I’ll do my best!!
