The Weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins

"Say hello from today"

Squeeze the hand that Mr. Ratlua offered.

For a while from today, the two of us will stroll through this town.

The question is how far people in the organization can move.

"So, what do we do today? Wanna take a look around the city?

"Um, before I do, can I go to the river because I want to do laundry?

"Huh?... Laundry in the river?

Oh, it was unusual for people to wash it because it can be clean magic.

I don't know what to say.

"Uh..."

"Can't Ivy use clean magic and water magic?

I can't hide this through.

Let's get hungry.

"Yes."

"Oh well.... There's a laundry in town but you want to go?

Laundry?

Never heard of it.

"What kind of place is it?

"Hmm? Well, is it only in a big town? Laundry is a place where people can't use clean magic or water magic. Well, I use people who can use it."

People who can't use clean magic or water magic?

Is that it?

Shouldn't anyone be able to use the magic they need on a daily basis?

"Um, who can't use magic..."

How am I supposed to ask?

Are you full?

Or......

It's something I didn't expect, so I can't get around to asking.

"Hmm? Oh well, was Latomi a small village? You know, I might have been taught that anyone can use the fire magic, water magic, and clean magic they need every day, but that's a misunderstanding."

"Is that a misunderstanding?

"Yes, it's a misunderstanding to say that these three can be used by anyone. Some people can only use two or one of the three, and some people can't use them because of their magic power problems. I was using the square, didn't you notice? There was a firestone ready to set the fire. That's because some adventurers can't use fire magic."

I did put it away.

There was a place not only in this town, but also in the village.

"I can't use water magic, by the way"

"... eh!

"I didn't realize that."

I had no idea.

Um, but... I think you had some water for me when I cooked.

... Oh, could that be a magic item?

"Is that a magic item you were using when you put water in your pot?

"Correct! Because I can't use water magic, Syfal went out of her way to find it and buy it for me."

"Really? Mr. Schiffer is sweet."

"Well.... I really need to piss you off."

Oh, sure, Mr. Schiffer was scared yesterday.

Still, your mother taught you, but was it a misunderstanding?

So you don't have to hide the fact that you can't use life magic?

Oh, but how many people can't use it with magic?

"Um, can there be quite a few people who have less magic and can't use life magic?

"It's unclear how long it is. But you know one person. Could Ivy be in relation to magic?

"Yes, you can use the magic itself, but the amount of magic didn't work at all."

"I see... so you're traveling? It would be dangerous."

"Well, yeah,"

"When you can use fire magic, it helps when you do. Hmm, slave after all..."

With that said, Mr. Ratlua doesn't recommend slaves.

I wonder why not.

"Why are slaves good? Um, I'm a little unfamiliar."

"Ah, I've been normal since I was a little girl, so you don't have any particular thoughts about slaves. Except, of course, criminal slavery. I know some adventurers who have become slaves. I have a sense of companionship. I'm willing to tell you that I want you to meet my good husband. Plus, if it's a little debt, it's a couple of years' worth of contracts, so you'd better sign up early and pay off your debt, and you can get back to the adventurers sooner, right?

"A contract on a number of years? Back to the Adventurer?

"That? Don't you know that?

"Yes."

"I can't do it if it's a lot, but if it's a small debt, it's going to be a slave in the form of a 3 or 5 year contract. A lot of adventurers owe a lot of money, so a few years' contracts are applied."

"Really? Slaves, I thought, were a lifetime contract. I've heard about adventurers, but they were so sad."

"Hahaha, that contract makes slaves so expensive. And even if it's a criminal slave, it's a minimum of 10 years for a misdemeanor, but don't think a small debt slave is too heavy for the rest of his life."

"Sure, that's right"

"Once I sign up for the Adventurer Guild, I have a course that I can make you take, but what's the first thing I learn there about the money I'll have ready? Think about when you fail to make a request and make sure you have it ready. Also, if you can't pay your debts, you can fall into slavery. Well, I already know this."

"Lecture in guild…"

"Yes. So, many adventurers are prepared not to fall into slavery. Even when you take requests, you think about when you fail. It's just totally hard to say I'll be ready. Therefore, if you fail to make a request, you may remain in debt for a little while. So the slave fell. But for a small amount, most of them will be back in three or five years."

"I see."

"The guys who were driving that grief are probably spending all their money. He's a fool to get caution from the Alliance."

"Huh."

"Sometimes when you're an armed adventurer slave, you get a contract from an adventurer you know. Well, this is conditional on knowing an adventurer who's saving money like that."

Somehow, it's quite different from the slaves I thought.

When I fell into slavery, I thought I was a slave for the rest of my life.

I wonder where such knowledge came from.

... me before.

Hmm, betrayal is rampant, and when you become a slave, you are a slave for life..., what world have I lived in before?

Definitely a tougher world than here, isn't it?

"Ivy? Are you okay?

"Oh, excuse me. It's okay.... I found out then that it's on a few years basis. What happens to what you want me to keep from you?

"Oh, I'm magically bound to the information I learned when I was a slave, so I can't talk about being freed from slavery."

I see, by magic.

Somehow, the rejection you felt about slavery faded.

That said, slaves are expensive, so I can't help it.

"Right here. You're pretty good today."

In front of me are people doing laundry.

It makes me feel a little strange when I think I'm someone who can't use magic.

Until now, there's someone in front of you who didn't think you were there.

Besides.

"What are you gonna do... Ivy, are you okay?

"Oh, there were more people... surprised"

"Ha, ha"

They're not the ones who can't use everything, but still more people were in the laundry than I imagined.

Look for an empty place in the washroom and wash your clothes.

The bucket you keep looks like a magic item, and when you throw away the water inside, the water automatically accumulates all over the bucket.

Mr. Ratlua laughed a little excitedly at the magic item he used for the first time.

Washing clothes accumulated on the journey is quite a lot.

Put everything in the basket I brought after I washed it.

"Tired, done?

Oh, I forgot I was desperate to wash things and come with you.

... and the whole thing.

The reassurance that Mr. Ratlua will be there sucks a bit.

Let's get our minds together.

"Excuse me. Sorry to keep you waiting"

"It's okay. Well, we'll have to dry it. Let's go back to the square."

"Yes."

Ask them for information about the store and more as they head to the square.

I just live there, I know it.

Quite familiar, especially with sweet shops.

With that said, you seemed to like Mirpa a lot, too, yesterday.

I saw a building where many people would go in.

When I turned my gaze to you, I saw a cross on the roof of the building.

Church.

... the place that changed my life.

This is where I keep avoiding it.

He turned his gaze softly away so that he could not be noticed.
