Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"I don't have any money to treat you two to breakfast today."

When he saw that Hilfi and I had sat down, he immediately put on a disgusted expression.

That stinky old man...

"We're treating our teacher to dinner today."

As I spoke, I took two copper coins out of my pocket and handed them to the proprietress standing next to me.

"Brother, that's not enough."

The proprietress handed me the bill.

"Huh?"

"Lord Merlin ate ten loaves of bread."

"Ten...ten..."

I took the bill and glanced at it:

Mr. Merlin, ten loaves of bread, four bowls of cream soup…

Money isn't important; what's important is that I thought Merlin could only eat four...

"OK……"

I paid the remaining amount to the shop owner.

Afterwards, Shilufi and I ordered two bowls of cream soup and two pieces of bread.

As soon as breakfast was served, Ms. Merlin got up and left.

"They didn't even say hello..."

What a strange old man.

After breakfast, I felt warm and comfortable all over.

I'll definitely come here for breakfast after my morning run in the future.

Afterwards, Hilfi and I returned to the dormitory. I went back to my room, took off my clothes, washed my body with water, dried myself with the Wind Magic, and changed into my usual clothes.

Ms. Luo Qixi's bedroom door was still closed; she probably hadn't gotten up yet. If I remember correctly, she should have classes today.

I walked to the door and knocked twice gently.

"Teacher Luo Qixi? Class is about to start."

"Oh……"

Teacher Luo Qixi answered listlessly from inside the door.

Being a teacher is really hard work.

However, there are still things that Hilfi and I need to do.

After a while, Hilfi finished tidying up. Next, she went to find the planks, paint, and lime.

"We're leaving now."

"Oh……"

Teacher Luo Qixi, she...

Alright, then you should get some rest, Ms. Luo Qixi.

Ever since Merlin-sensei reprimanded her, Hilfi has stopped covering her hair and instead wears it in a long ponytail at the back of her head.

At first glance, it looks very cute, but after looking at it for a while, it seems like an elf archer living in the forest. Does it look a bit old?

Even though Xilufei is only thirteen years old.

After seeing me and Hilfi, most of the students still avoided us. This situation might change in three months.

Then, we left the school and went to the shop we had seen when we first arrived in Charia.

This is a "building materials store" that also resembles a "hardware store"; to be precise, it sells everything.

We went inside the shop, where the owner was painting magical artifacts with a small brush, while his wife was serving customers.

The boss was rarely muscular, but in this freezing temperature he was only wearing a pair of trousers and an apron around his bare upper body, which was covered by very prominent muscles.

The proprietress was an Ashrabian, which you could tell from her appearance and accent. She wasn't particularly beautiful and was just an ordinary middle-aged woman.

As soon as we entered, the people in the store fell silent, and a few people who were close to the door ran out first.

Unlike the others, the proprietress did not show any fear when she saw us. The proprietress pulled out a meter-long machete from a cabinet and held it in front of her.

The air was thick with tension; if things continued like this, a war was inevitable.

I waved my hand and said in a calm tone:

"Don't get me wrong, we're just here to buy things."

What to buy?

The boss said with a stern face and an annoyed tone.

"We'll buy paint, the black kind."

"real!"

As soon as I said we wanted to buy black paint, the shop owner's wife jumped out from behind the owner and grabbed my hand with tears in her eyes.

I think I finally understand why black paint is so rare on the market, yet its price remains low.

So it's because nobody's buying it.

"Really, how many do you have here?"

"There are only ten barrels left."

Then, the proprietress patted the proprietress on the shoulder, and the proprietress brought out ten iron buckets from the house. Each bucket was half a person tall and filled with black paint.

"Ten buckets of black paint cost a total of one silver coin."

It's not expensive; generally, two buckets of paint like these are enough to paint a house.

There's no need to worry about the paint for now.

"Could you help us send it to the Magic Guild?"

"So you two are from the Magic Guild. No problem, no problem."

The proprietress was very hospitable and instructed the owner to move the paint buckets to the carriage parked outside.

"By the way, ma'am, do you know where I can buy lime and timber?"

"Timber is fine, but we don't have lime here; we'll have to go to the Duchy of Basilante."

The boss, who had been in a bad mood, changed his attitude, but still maintained a poker face.

"The Principality of Basilante..."

Even without a job transfer, I will live earnestly [Chapter 96] Dye (Part 5)

Chapter 96: Dyeing (Part 5)

……

"The Principality of Basilante..."

"Yes."

The boss put down the paint bucket in his hand, turned around and took out a map from the room, spread it on the table, picked up the iron nail on the table and pointed to a small town in the interior of the Duchy of Basilante.

"Lime is generally used as a building material. It is mixed with stones to make bricks and then transported over. Dry lime doesn't make money, so if you want to buy lime, you either go to the Red Dragon Mountain in the south or go east to the Duchy of Basheland."

"I see."

The Duchy of Basilante in the east is closer than the Red Dragon Mountains in the south of Lanoa.

The boss just mentioned that the lime bricks sold here are mixed with stones, and that kind of stuff can't be used as chalk.

Looks like I'll have to go to the Duchy of Basheland in the next couple of days.

"Gentlemen, the car is loaded and will be delivered to the Magic Guild shortly."

The proprietress was beaming with joy. The black paint that had been impossible to sell had suddenly been bought up in bulk. If it were me, I would be overjoyed too.

I took out a silver coin and handed it to her, then pulled Silphie into the carriage. The owner personally drove the carriage to deliver the goods; the service was truly attentive.

A few minutes later, the carriage arrived at the Magic Guild. I told the owner to wait at the entrance, and then I went inside the guild.

"Hello, could you please help me find a warehouse? Thank you."

I took the keepsake that Mr. Merlin had given me, the ring he gave me yesterday, out of my pocket and placed it in front of the receptionist.

"Please wait a moment."

The receptionist immediately understood what I meant when she saw the ring. She took out a bunch of keys from under the counter, skillfully removed one of the keys by sliding it off the clasp, handed it to me, and returned the ring to me.

I took the key and the ring. The key had the words "Vault 13" written on it in human language.

At the same time, a male magician who looked to be in his thirties walked out from behind the front desk. I don't know if he had a problem with me because of the rumors or if that was just his personality, but he coldly said "Come" and walked towards the door without saying another word.

I followed him, and once we were outside the gates of the Magic Guild, I signaled to Silphie in the carriage and the "Building Materials Shop" owner to follow the magician.

About five minutes east of the Magic Guild, you'll reach a warehouse area with the Magic Guild's name written on it.

This is a large warehouse complex, connected to the Mage Guild's land; there are about twenty warehouses in total.

Without saying a word or turning his head, the magician entered the warehouse area, walked through two rows of warehouses, and led us to warehouse number thirteen.

The warehouse was tightly closed, the door was dilapidated, and the window on the outside of the warehouse was reduced to a single, rickety frame.

Could it be that it contains an RX-78-2...?

[Note: The RX-78-2 was the first Gundam piloted by Amuro Ray under a series of circumstances. It was the second unit in the RX-78 series of Project V and a participant in the first MS battle in Gundam history (this setting was rewritten in *Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN*, where the first MS-to-MS battle took place between MS-04 Bugu and RX-77 Guncannon Type 1). It achieved miraculous results in the later stages of the One Year War, earning it the nickname "White Devil" from Zeon pilots. However, the biggest reason this unit is considered the "strongest" is due to pilot Amuro Ray's masterful use of Newtype abilities on the battlefield. This unit was destroyed during the Battle of A Baoa Qu when it clashed with Char's MSN-02 Zeon.]

Just kidding, how could an RX-78-2 be placed in a place like this?

After leading us to the location, the magician turned and walked towards the exit without saying a word.

I reached out and grabbed him. He looked at me with a panicked expression, his eyes clearly filled with fear.

"Don't be afraid, may I ask your name so that I can thank you later?"

"no need."

Upon hearing my words, his fearful gaze lessened slightly, but he still pushed my hand away and ran off tremblingly.

I glanced at his retreating figure, then turned back, took out my keys, and opened the warehouse door.

It was completely empty inside, with nothing but a few broken wooden planks placed in the corner.

However, on the other hand, there are many people who are afraid of me and Sylphie and thus feel disgusted by them. The person just now was just a typical example of this.

I can understand; after all, that's the kind of impact rumors have.

I received similar treatment in my past life, but I was afraid of other people.

"Hey……"

"It's alright, Rudy, things will change someday."

Hilfi leaned closer and grabbed my arm.

"Thank you, Silphie."

"It's alright, Rudy can definitely do it."

Looking at the adorable Sylphie in front of me, I couldn't resist reaching behind her head and fiddling with her ears.

Hilufi blushed instantly when I teased her while others were watching.

While Hilfi and I were playing a simple, silly couple's game, the boss had already filled all ten buckets of paint into the warehouse.

The after-sales service is fantastic.

The boss, with his massive muscles, stood tall in the cold wind, showing off his well-built physique to us.

"I'll be going now. Please feel free to come to the store to find me if you need anything."

"Oh, okay, take care, boss."
