(076) Marinas second job

Translator: Tseirp

We left the border town and headed for Ferruit.

Because I didnt have any time alone and I built a good relationship with Haru even though there were some slight misunderstanding yesterday, the doujinshis didnt get a role to play.

Incidentally, my Philanderer level rose by 3 all at one go, reaching Lv16.

When Philanderer reached Lv15, it released the options for 4 kinds of jobs: Musician, Singer, Dancer and Artist.

Among them, Marina possessed 3 of the jobs.

When I looked at my status page, the moment I thought that there were too many jobs, I obtained the title Job Maniac and Job Organization.

Incidentally, Haru was also in charge of coachman duty today.

Marina, do you have a moment?

What is it?

Why did Marina continue as a Street Performer? If you wanted to become an Archmage, you could always change jobs?

I dont want to become an Archmage because I am already an Archmage. Also, its impossible to change job even if I wanted to. Street Performer is apparently a Unique job and average Priests cant do anything about it.

Whys she saying it so proudly? Well, so its the same as Temptress and Cat-user, they cant change job unless its a special Priest.

Furthermore, hers is a job that was set by the Goddess, worst case scenario would be there arent anybody who can change her job.

If I told you that you can change job, what would you do?

Nothing. Ill continue the way I am now.

Why?

I have not seen the end to the possibilities for the path I am on now. I hated it at the start but the many smiles of the people who witness my extraordinary magic fuels my magical power. Its a wonderful thing.

Possibility huh?

Carol muttered in a slightly reticent tone.

I see. Then, what would you do if you could choose a second job?

If I can hold another job? If thats the case, Ill raise my Commoner level and aim to obtain the Bow Equip skill by becoming a Hunter.

Hunter? I thought that you would surely choose Apprentice Magician.

That will be what I do first. The performance of my arrows is nearly 100% due to my extraordinary magic. However, because I dont have Bow Equip, the offensive power can be said to be none. Piercing a helpless frog from behind is the most I can do.

From behind? Looks like at the street performance that time, the arrow didnt strike the frog from the front but was aimed at and shot at it from behind.

I guess the technique of swindling is also part of being a Street Performer.

Its because I thought that I will also need to have a combat skill if I am to continue to travel together with my friend Kannon. But, why do you ask?

Ah hn

I was told to only tell those I trust about Second Job Setting about Jobless skills.

Marina is kind of prone to chuunibyou delusions but I dont think that shes a bad person. But, what about Kannon?

I dont really know much about her. At the very least, shes someone who sells equipment using scamming methods.

I cant deny the possibility of Marina telling what she knows to Kannon when she returns to being Kannons slave.

If thats the case, shall I make a suitable lie this time?

In my mind, I crafted a consistent setting.

Marina, in a fashion, Im saying hypothetically, I am your owner so you must obey my command.

Indeed. However, if you perform any insolent act towards me, know that the day you no longer am my owner will be your death anniversary.

I wont do such a thing! For now, its an order. Never look at my status.

I see. Its because you dont want to let me see you not having any job worth mentioning huh?

No. Its because my blessing is slightly unique and have multiple abilities so I dont really want to show it.

While saying that, I winked at Carol. Shes good at guessing so shell probably understand.

I am able to set 2 jobs for my party members. For now, I will try setting Marinas second job as Commoner so check your status.

I also tried checking but I cant see if a second job is properly set or not.

However, because her status rose, its certain that some job was indeed added.

Oo, my hidden power has decided to show itself now.

No, its my ability.

Dont fret the details, youll go bald. From the top.

Dont go to the extent of specifying the starting point! And dont go cursing me to go bald! Either way, during our round trip between Ferruit and that border town, if possible, Ill let you acquire Bow Equip and other simple spells. Itll widen the scope of your performances.

Dont refer to my extraordinary magic as performances. Ill curse you.

Thatll not be magic but shamanic art.

I cut in with the promised tsukkomi.

Dont ask me about the difference between magic and shamanic arts okay?

The people who possess the Apprentice Magician job like me and the Magician job learn magic while Shamans like Schreyl use shamanic arts.

Haru, so you have it, as what weve discussed this morning if you detect any monster scents, please actively head in that direction for us to hunt.

Yes. Even so, there arent many monsters around.

Hn? I thought that there are quite a number of monsters around?

Due to my Presence Detection II skill, I can sense enemy presence but ?

What does this mean?

I thought as I looked out from the loading platform.

Even though there really were monster presences, I totally did not see any figures.

There was grass growing but the grass wasnt that tall so there shouldnt be any place for them to hide.

Perhaps its Tubifex worms?

Yarn worms?

Carol asked as I tried to analyze it in my own way to slightly understand the Presence Detection skill better.

I see, I can indeed feel the presences below the ground.

If thats the case, we might as well just dig them up.

I cant say that is a good method.

Wont it leave us with the option of defeating fish-type monsters by catching the Tubifex worms and fishing with them? We wont need sonar as well with my Presence Detection.

Fishing with the Tubifex worms?

Carol gave a disgusted expression.

Looks like she is bad with earthworms.

Well, I dont have fishing gear anyway so Ill leave this entertainment for when I become an Angler.

Master, I sense the smell of monsters from that cave. Would you like to try firing magic?

Magic!? If its magic then its my turn

Your street performance is not going to defeat any monster.

I flicked Marina on her forehead.

She glared at me in tears while pressing onto her forehead.

After the carriage stopped, I looked at the cave Haru pointed out. It was in a hilly area so the cave was dug slantwise.

It did felt like it was a cave that was dug out by animals compared to a naturally-formed cave.

There were multiple presences.

Alright, Ill give it a try.

I took out Asklepioss staff and switched my jobs to Magician-type jobs and Apprentice Blacksmith.

Then, I pointed my staff at the cave

Fire!

and chanted. A ball of fire immediately appeared on the tip of the staff and it left burn marks at the cave surroundings before landing on the bottom of the cave. The explosion caused a roar, smoke and dust scattered and the cave collapsed the next instant.

Ichinojo Leveled up

Apprentice Blacksmith skill: Blacksmithing obtained

Recipe obtained

The combat ended without me knowing what exactly did I defeat.

It also looks like I learned recipes related to blacksmithing.

Ive been thinking of raising it but Ive been raising my alchemy as my main so I only learned Blacksmithing this late.

It looks like I can create weapons and armor from stone, bronze, and iron now.

Looks like they were exceptionally high experience point monsters. My Commoner level rose to 7.

Level 7 huh? Then shell be able to change job to Hunter or Farmer.

However, her level rose not because the experience points were high but merely because of the effect of my 20x experience point acquisition.

If I go to the church mu, Ichino. It would be fine if it is a normal job change but how would I go about changing my second job?

Ah, Ill do it for you. I can at least change the second job.

I mentally changed Marinas second job to Hunter.

Oo, my Luck stat became 50 hn? Ichino, did you perhaps use your blessing to greatly raise your Luck stat so that you can earn via the gambling parlor slots and in Rock Paper Scissors with Suzuki?

Great insight. You do have some sharp moments occasionally.

The occasionally is unneeded.

Very well, please defeat more monsters and acquire my Bow Equip for me.

Dont speak so patronizingly with honorific language or rather, its impossible. Since there arent any enemies.

I once again surveyed the grassland.

There wasnt even a single child of a monster.

That day in the end, we didnt encounter any other monsters as we greeted a night of staying outdoors.

At the time when we were eating the cooking we ordered from the Adventurers Guild that we moved to another container and placed into my item bag.

Erm Ichino-sama. You wish to raise your level right?

Carol looked at me with entreating eyes.

Its rare for her to show such expression.

Hn? Thats right. Maybe I should look for a labyrinth or something. Does Carol have a job you want to raise?

Its just as you say I do have a job I wish to raise

Carol said hesitantly while casting her eyes down but she resolved herself and looked at my eyes.

Ive been thinking if you would like to raise Carols Temptress job!

~Side Story Journey of 5 people and a donkey~

The time was when Ichinojo and gang were watching the street performance on the bridge connecting the borders.

Jofre, Elise and Centaur, as well as Julio, Sutchino and Milky, 5 people and a donkey, were headed towards the labyrinth in the northwest direction.

Jofre and Julio were walking in front.

Eh, Jofre-san and gang were Uncle Narubes subordinates?

When he was introducing himself to Jofre and Elise, Julio shouted excitedly when he found out that his own uncle was Jofres former boss.

Thats right. My, so coincidental, to think that Julio is the bosss nephew.

It was true that Jofre was Narubes subordinate but his first meeting with Narube was after Ichinojo defeated Narube and he had quickly changed his attitude.

I admire you! Jofre-san! Youre seriously great!

Julio was the leader of the secret society.

However, because Jofre was the subordinate of his respected uncle and also rescued him in a dramatic fashion, the usual Julio showed an underling temperament and even his tone changed.

Sutchino was looking at those 2 from the position of one step behind.

Impatience could somewhat be felt from him.

And then, Milky and Elise who were staring at the 3 of them.

Because of Ladies first, the 2 of them were moving while riding on Centaur.

Fufufufufufufufufufu.

You look like you are enjoying yourself, Milky.

Yeah, Elise-san. Please look at those 3. Julio who admires Jofre-san. Sutchino whos wondering if Julio has been taken from him. What a wonderful love triangle.

Milky had an ecstatic expression with a bleeding nose.

Centaur didnt notice at all the nosebleed falling on his own back.

Normally, if one had a nose bleeding at such a location, the smell of blood would attract monsters but it didnt happen at all, it was the picture of peacefulness.

Incidentally, what Sutchino was anxious about was if Jofre and Elise continued to come along with them, how would they split the share?

For Sutchino who faced death a few moments ago, it was clearly reassuring to have 2 people who are stronger than themselves but it was troubling to have their share cut in half was what he was thinking.

That common expression painted on Sutchinos face became a nosebleed-inducing painting after it passed through Milkys maiden filter.

For her Pinky Pants, 3 men would most likely appear in her next work.

There it is. The labyrinth for beginners but it looks dangerous from here so lets carefully eh?

In front of the labyrinth building, Julio tilted his head.

Usually, at this timing, the soldier on guard duty would be patrolling around until their time to change shift but that soldiers figure was nowhere to be seen.

An experienced Adventurer would have a bad premonition from this but,

Were lucky, looks like we will be able to easily sneak into the labyrinth now.

He had such optimistic thinking.

However, with 5 people around, somebody else should likely stop him.

Lets quickly go in and return. Then, well be rich men.

We sure are lucky, Elise.

My good fortune was meeting Jofre.

The new work will be Joff x Juli x Sutchi no, Sutchi x Juli x Joff ah, but Hit by jealousy Sutchi x Joff can also work

A slave to gold, an idiot couple and a pervert. As well as a donkey.

Without a single person to stop Julio, the 5 people and a donkey didnt think anything as they entered the labyrinth.
