Day 125: The Mad Alchemist and Catfolk.
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Moon Sheep, 16th day.
Weather: Sunny
Today, I came to the guild early in order to forget the horrible thing that happened yesterday.
Ugh… Just the thought of it makes me want to throw up…
…Jobs! Let’s hurry up and search for one! I must become absorbed in work!
Hunting, gathering, escorting… There are a lot more of them now…
Though, the ones we could accept were mostly of the gathering variety.
Not having a ship really limited our options.
Still, there was no point in learning to sail a ship if this was not going to be our base.
Hmm… It has now been about twenty days since we came to Marga Town.
Perhaps it is time to visit a different town.
We had never planned to stay here that long anyway…
As I thought of such things, I suddenly heard a shout echo through the guild. ‘I finally found you! You mad alchemist-nya!
…What an uncomfortable set of words.
Who could it be? I turned and looked around. Ms. Nico was being harassed by a catfolk woman.
I had been wondering where she went…
And though I felt a little exasperated, I went over to help Ms. Nico, who looked like she was about to burst into tears.
The cat woman looked at Ms. Noa and I guardedly as we interrupted them.
Yes, please calm down. Also, let’s move away from here.
…This is no place to talk.
We managed to persuade the woman to go to the guild bar.
The woman’s name was Ms. Mia.
She had short, honey-colored hair and strong blue eyes.
Obviously, the ears on her head and the long tail were also honey-colored.
Perhaps she was weak to the heat, as she was also wearing a tube top and shorts.
…As she had a good physique, it was hard not to stare.
Ah, catfolk and Cait Sith were both demihumans, but completely different species.
To put it simply, catfold were like humans who had cat tails and ears, while Cait Sith were cats that could talk and walk on two legs.
As for why Ms. Mia was angry, apparently, it was because of yesterday’s medicine.
She had purchased it today before going fishing, and used it already.
However, the smell had been so overwhelming when she opened the vial, that she ended up dropping it into the sea.
And then in the blink of an eye, fish swarmed around her like a tsunami, resulting in the destruction of her boat.
After barely making it back alive, she had asked the guild about the person who made it. Which led to us now.
…The Alchemist Guild… They sold us out to avoid trouble!?
As I looked stunned, Ms. Mia demanded that we take responsibility for her boat.
…Does she mean for repairs?
However, Ms. Mia shook her head. She said that she would make the money herself, but wanted us to find work for her. ‘Because Adventurers make a lot of money,’ she said with a laugh.
…Uh, it seems like we’re getting involved in something very troublesome!
Like this, we now had to work with Ms. Mia starting tomorrow…
…So we won’t be able to leave this town for a while.
