Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 21.1

I have breakfast with the lady again the next morning.

“Miss, may I ask about today’s schedule?”

“There will be lessons continuing until the evening.”

Ah, of course, it’s elite education since she’s a noble. Makes sense.

“Please allow me to accompany you throughout the day.”

“That’s fine, but… isn’t there no need for a guard while we’re in the mansion?”

“There’s no need, but if I know how you spend your day, we can plan outings.”

“Outings? Where do you plan to go?”

“To a dungeon.”

Yes!

There were no dungeons in my village or nearby, and I could only hunt field monsters. While there were many benefits to that, the experience efficiency is much better in a dungeon.

In this grand city of Emblam, there’s the Emblam Dungeon, so I can go there without leaving the city.

“A dungeon!? You’re only ten years old, aren’t you!?”

“With all due respect… I’m a knight. I need to become stronger to protect you, my lady.”

“Oh!? Th-that’s true… but… fine! Do as you please! Just make sure you fulfill your duties as a knight!”

“Yes, that’s my intention.”

I then attended the lady’s lessons.

Swordsmanship. Noble etiquette. Dance. Various academic subjects. She received all kinds of advanced education.

But… she seemed somewhat disengaged, her eyes devoid of light, moving as instructed—like a doll.

The next day.

With the same schedule today, I headed straight to the adventurer’s guild.

“Hello~”

I greeted the cute receptionist.

“Welcome.”

“Um, I want to become an adventurer~”

“You’re here to register. Do you know the rules for adventurers?”

“No!”

“Then let me explain.”

The lady explained everything politely, and it matched what I knew from games. Just to be sure, I asked if there were any differences, but there were none.

After listening, I put my left hand into a black box she presented.

Either hand works, but my right hand has a mark from the [Great Scythe Unfolding].

There was a strange sensation in my left hand, and the registration was complete.

“Registration is complete. You can sell materials obtained from beasts or magic stones from dungeons at the purchasing counter over there. As your rank increases, the purchase price and discounts at cooperating stores will also increase!”

You can dive into dungeons without becoming an adventurer, but the increased purchase prices and discounts were appealing, so I registered. Besides, the registration is free.

“For beginners, we recommend attending the beginner’s lecture held every morning. Today’s is over, but there’s another one tomorrow, so please join us.”

“Thank you!”

With my registration complete, I immediately headed to the dungeon!

As I left the guild energetically, I bumped into someone.

“Huh…?”

A rough-looking man glared down at me.

“Oh… sorry.”

“You’ve dirtied my clothes… you F-rank!”

He grabbed my chest.

“Ten silver coins for laundry.”

“Huh? You’re giving me money for my laundry? You’re so kind, senior!”

A vein popped on the man’s forehead.

“You pay, idiot!”

“Huh? Why?”

“Weren’t you listening, kid! You dirtied my clothes!”

“Really? I think my clothes are cleaner, so you should pay me instead…”

“You little brat! Don’t mess with me!”

The man swung his thick arm down.

His punch was aimed right at my face, but since I had no reason to be hit, I dodged it easily. I also freed my clothes from his grip.

As his punch missed and cut through the air, I tripped him, causing him to fall with a thud.

People’s attention turned to the loud noise of the man hitting the ground.

Not fond of crowds, I quickly disappeared into the throng of people.

Of course, when I tripped him, I made sure to collect the “laundry fee.”

I used the skill [Steel Size], a technique of the [Walker of the Night]. It’s similar to the popular skill [Steal] used by the [Thief] class but can only be used while holding a scythe. It has a long cooldown time, but it boasts the highest success rate for stealing an item from an opponent.

While it’s challenging to target specific items, it can steal high-value items that are not equipped, like the wallet I got this time.
