Not Sure, Another World Reincarnation

Chapter 137: Side Story – A Story of a Novice Adventurer Part 1

Im Triela, a novice adventurer and a former orphan1.

It was only recently that I left the orphanage to become an adventurer. In that sense, I was still less aware that I had become an adventurer. Besides, I hadnt done any adventurer-like yet, and I hadnt fought any tough monsters. But if I fight one, I would definitely die.

Speaking of which, you could say that our journey to the royal capital was an adventure, right? But we just moved in a carriage, so I couldnt say that I was proud of my adventure.

Well, leaving that aside.

Today, I was reunited with my best friend, who left the orphanage to get sold as a slave. I thought she died in an accident, so I was so shocked I cried a lot. When I think about it now, it was very embarrassing.

My best friend, Ren, clung to me and patted my back to comfort me until I stopped crying. Its like she was comforting a child. Uu, so embarrassing.

Im glad she looks healthy.

I remembered how my best friend seemed to be doing well, causing my cheeks to relax.

She became so cute

Yeah, she was so cute. And she became so amazing. Like her *****. And other things.

Ah, but I was surprised that I was taller.

The sandwich was delicious. I got everyones share, but will this be enough? And what should I do with this sword? Cain will be noisy again.

I muttered while stroking the handle of the sword that Ren made. Aside from the sandwiches for everyone, this sword would most likely cause various problems. Mainly because Cain would want it.

Cain didnt really think highly about my craftsmanship tour. He insisted that we should earn more money by doing chores.

But I know that Cain wanted to be a sword fighter and was trying to save money so he could buy a sword quickly. And Cain was pretty selfish. Once he saw this sword, he would definitely make a noise.

Well, I wont give it to him.

Considering Rens character and feelings, I absolutely wouldnt give it to Cain.

Theres no use worrying about it, so lets go to the reference room she directed me to.

Cain would want the sword, but I couldnt give this up. No matter how much he asked, I would just refuse.

Rather, it would be far more productive to do a lot of research on the library Ren told me rather than wasting my time thinking of such trivial things.

I never went to the headquarters of the royal capital adventurers guild. But Ren said that anyone could use the facility, so I decided to try it out, thinking that we might learn something out of this.

Umm, this is the reference room?

Thats why I came to the reference room of the Royal Capital Adventurers Guild. Yeah, there were so many books.

In the first place, I couldnt read that much. However, Ren said that these books also included the picture of medical herbs, so it would be helpful just to have a look at it But there were more books than I expected. I was at a loss as to where to start.

What should I do? Miss, whats wrong? Are you looking for something?

When I was wondering what to do, I was approached by an old man who seemed to be managing this library. I told him that I wanted to find the books related to medicinal herbs, but I didnt know where they were since there were so many books. He then took me to the shelf with the books I was looking for.

And as I thought, this old man was working as a librarian in this reference room. He said that he would help me if I had trouble in the library, so I decided to take his offer and have him help me a lot.

Its better to overcome my embarrassment for lacking knowledge. I didnt hide the fact that I couldnt read the letters that well and asked the librarian to read the unreadable characters.

I think that a child who can ask properly like you can survive longer and succeed than pretending to know what you dont understand. It will be difficult, but please do your best. T-thank you very much!

Its embarrassing to ask what I didnt understand, but its even more embarrassing to pretend I know something and leave it as it was. I had no hesitation in asking other people who knew what I didnt. Since it would help me in the future, theres no need to be hesitant.

Actually, thats what Ren told me when we were in the orphanage.

When I was researching the herbs that could be collected around the royal capital, I found many things.

Depending on the herb, the medicinal effect would change In short, each herb had different parts that were needed. It might be the leaf, the root, or the pe petals.

Then, of course, the quality of the material would be affected by how we collected various herbs.

If the roots were important, we need to dig them out carefully. If we need the leaves, we need to make sure they wouldnt tear.

The herbs we collected so far were cut into pieces. That should explain why the prices were different.

We need to use proper tools to collect it and store it carefully What weve done so far is completely wrong

To be honest, that saddened me.

I thought it would be better to take as many herbs as I could. However, the price of the herbs would be higher if we collected them properly. The price could be two or three times higher. I didnt know what to feel when I realized that.

Furthermore, it might be ten times more expensive depending on the type of herbs

Ah We could buy things we wanted if we knew this faster Oh no, Im really going to cry.

But its only been around two months since we came to the royal capital. We could still get it back. Rather, lets think positively here.

That said, I couldnt be sure until I actually used the knowledge I gained today.

By the time I left the reference room, the sun had already begun to set.

In the end, I didnt do any chore today. However, I got sandwiches from Ren, a sword, and knowledge of herbs I got equipment and benefits for the long run in just a day.
