"«Status»"
He was level 2 already. His unspent status point raised by three, totaling at thirteen.
"Should I try to fight the slime?" Seiji said to himself. Acting on this thought he looked around the city, and found a slime near a wall.
He was confident. Those red icons in the map would be reduced by one after he killed the slime in front of him. He attacked it.
It jumped in front of him. Before he reached it, it attacked first. He immediately raised his hand to guard, and blocked its attack.
It was painful, like something burned his hand. He looked at his hand and found that the skin looked like it was slightly burned. He decided that at this point that retreat was a better choice, and run from the slime.

What if he died? Would he have to start from level 1 again? Considering that, he would not likely to go outside, until he equipped himself.
He looked at the quest board, searching for something that he could do in the city, and found customer service department quest. He took one and submitted it to the receptionist.
---
Seiji was bored. It has been three hours since he was here, sitting on the customer service desk. There was no one who came to him. Feeling so bored, he daydreamed about what he would do after this ends.
"Excuse me?"
Shocked, he was awakened from his daydream. There was actually a customer in customer service. Getting himself into what he thought a professional sitting position, he said,
"Yes, can I help you?"
"Yes. Actually, I have this trouble. There is something missing from my home. Last time I've seen it, it was when I am having an adventurer to repair my fence. Can you help me?"
"Sure, do you know the adventurer's name?"
"It was Burnia, I think."
"Okay, I'll check with the other department first. Will you wait here?"
The girl nodded. He then left his desk to go to the hall.
"Is the adventurer named Burnia here?" He shouted.
"Yes." A shout was heard. It was coming from his left. He turned his head, and saw someone walked to him.
"ِAre you Burnia?"
"Yes." The girl confirmed it.
"Can you come with me? A client wanted to talk to you."
"Yes, I can." The girl said.
With the girl in tow, he went back to the customer service desk. The woman then explained to them both, that her necklace was missing.
"Is it a necklace with black pendant?" The girl said.
"Yes. Yes it is. Do you perhaps have it?" The woman said.
"No. I just noticed it since the woman didn't use it with her now. I still remember that she was wearing the necklace when I left after confirming the job." The girl said.
"I... I see. But then, where did it go?"
"Honestly... If you think I did it, ask the guild to investigate me. I'm just stating that I'm innocent." The girl said.
"Okay... can you do it, mister?" The woman asked Seiji.
"I'll check with the guild." Seiji replied.
Seiji stood. His footsteps echoed softly amidst the bustling activity of the guild, as he went to the receptionist. He approached the receptionist, asking her on what he should do on this case.
"Ask the ones in the back office please. I'm busy right now."
Accepting the woman's recommendation, he went to the back office. There, he explained to the guild worker about the case. The guild worker, having written the adventurer's name, said that Seiji should return and that the guild would investigate about this case.
Seiji went back, telling both woman about the guild conclusion. He thought he saw an expression of annoyance in the younger woman's face, but the girl accepted it and went back. The older woman then thanked him and left.
The second customer that he met was a woman. She said that the guild evaluation about the recent quest she had done was appraised wrongly, because she had done all of the objective in the quest. After asking about her name, the quest name and the date she submitted it, he went to the archive.
He looked at the archive of that date. After he read the quest in one glance, he thought that the woman was right. Yet, there was something that nagged him. He reread it again, twice, thrice, trying to find a fault in the quest. He couldn't find fault with the woman's report at all.
He decided to get a second opinion. Taking the quest report with him, he went to bother the receptionist once again, as she seemed to be free right then.
The receptionist also came into conclusion that the quest was wrongly graded. He gave her his thanks, and went to the back office to report about this matter. He gave the man the wrongly graded quest report. As the man came into the same conclusion, the guild worker approved about the change in report evaluation and reward. After that, he went back to the woman and gave her the remaining reward.
The woman left, and he waited for his third customer.
The third customer he had was a kid. He did not understand why would the guild accept a kid, to be honest. The kid complained about the party reward distribution. It seemed like the kid was an acomplished adventurer, as he was already level 4. The kid then said,
"My party leader is too preferential to our healer. He would make the girl's share larger, sometimes taking it from what should be mine. Imagine that you have 26G reward. Each of us should receive 8G, with the remaining 1G rotated among us three. But, he gave her 10G, each time."
"If it is 27G?" He said, curious.
" well, 9G for us each."
"Does he have a legitimate reason? What does he say about it?"
"He said that we should do it, since our teammate is a single mother."
Seiji felt hard to sympathize with the boy. He felt how hard it was to gather money himself. A 10G for a day was already hard work. If it was that hard for him, how hard it was for a mother with one child?
"Have you talked about it to him?" Seiji said.
"Yes. He said that we both should bear it... Is there anything that the guild can do?"
"Honestly, I don't think the guild should interfere. But since you are troubled by this, I can recommend you to leave the party."
"..."
"If you want 10G a day, be a receptionist. It is a low risk job that I think even you can do. There are probably a lot of job you can do yourself instead of doing it in a party. Knowing that, should you continue?"
"I... I am not sure. We have been a party for three years. I don't think I can do that."
"Then," Seiji paused for a moment. "Which one is more important to you? The money? or your bond?"
"..."
Seeing the boy contemplating it, Seiji let him be. Since there were no other customer, Seiji did not feel the need to hurry it up. After some time, the boy looked once again at him.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you for the consultation."
"You are welcome." Seiji said, smiling.
It was not until afternoon, that Seiji met his fourth customer.
"Can you help me?" A man clad in light armor said.
"Sit down." Seiji gestured to him. "How can I help you?"
The man pulled the chair back slightly. Walking, he moved to the space between the desk and his chair, and sit. After getting into comfortable position, the man then continued.
"I am planning to retire from adventuring life." The man started. He paused, exhaling a breath, then continued. "I am going to be a city guard full time. This old bone was not as spry as in my youth."
Seiji waited for the man to explain the problem, not giving him an interruption.
"Well. I am wondering. Can I take both guild quest and the city guard salary? There are a few quests that involve city guard role."
Seiji thought that it should not be a problem. The man was a registered adventurer, thus he would be eligible in doing any adventurer quest. After composing the reply in his mind, Seiji began.
"There should be no problem from the guild side as long as you are a member of adventurer guild. How about that side?"
"Then, it is alright?" the man said.
Seiji nodded, slightly unsure.
"I'm glad. Thank you for this, mister."
"You are welcome."
The man left. Seiji thought that there would be no more customer that day, since it was already nearing dusk. But then, someone came.
It was a curious case, seiji thought. The adventurer in front of him were saying that he and his friend was betrayed by their teammates. As they were doing an escort duty, that one stole the horses and carriage to asteria village, and went to unknown place. He even checked to their destination, to see if the man just completed it to his own. Went they went back to the merchant guild to report this, the merchant guild saddled them with 5000G debt. They wanted to ask the adventurer guild to help them, as 5000G was too much for him and his teammate.
"Okay. Can you wait here?"
The man nodded.
Seiji went to the office on the back. He explained the case to the guild worker there.
"Well... I'll take it from here." The man said to him. He muttered, "shit."
With the man in tow, Seiji returned to his desk. He offered the guild worker to sit, while he stood behind him.
"Alright. What's your name?" The guild worker began.
"Robert, sir."
"Okay. Here it will go. We'll do an official investigation on you and your teammate. If you are truly innocent, we'll be the one who reimburse them, no string attached."
"Truly, sir?"
"Yes. Now, I need you to tell me everything."
"Alright..."
Once again, the man recounted his tale. The guild worker then ask him a few question, and let the man go. With five customer done, Seiji packed up and submitted his report.
He was level 2 already. His unspent status point raised by three, totaling at thirteen.
"Should I try to fight the slime?" Seiji said to himself. Acting on this thought he looked around the city, and found a slime near a wall.
He was confident. Those red icons in the map would be reduced by one after he killed the slime in front of him. He attacked it.
It jumped in front of him. Before he reached it, it attacked first. He immediately raised his hand to guard, and blocked its attack.
