The next day they came to the orphanage before breakfast.

'Good morning!'

Morning.

It's only been a day since we left the orphanage, but the kids may have been lonely, but they all gathered around. I think we had a good time before when some of the orphanage's former students came to visit.

After breakfast, including the two of them, it was their adventuring debut. However, it's not so different from the usual...

We left the orphanage and arrived at the town gates. The usual soldiers were there to check the traffic.

"Oh, it's the boys from the orphanage, isn't it? Are you collecting today too?

Yes, I do.

'Aye!'

Oh, the little guy's looking good today.

'Um, can I have this, please?'

When I was talking to a soldier, two adventurers held out their guild cards.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find out what it is.

''Yes!''

This is my first request today!

'I see. But even though it's your first time, your 10th level request is to collect medicinal herbs. Don't be nervous because it's no different than usual!

Oh, yeah.

Hey, just be yourself.

Seeing what you guys are doing on a daily basis, you won't have to worry about it. Have a good day!

With that, the soldier patted us both on the back and sent us on our way.

That evening, our first adventurous gathering ended without incident.

We searched for medicinal plants and other things, mainly fruit trees, and the occasional squires hunted. It's the same as before.

However, it's different from the usual from here on out. We are now going to the Adventurer's Guild to finish our request.

Originally, I would have gone with the two adventurers (provisional), but since I know the sister at the reception desk, I decided to go with her today.

Me, the two of us, and the queen headed to the Adventurer's Guild. The queen was waiting for us at the stables, and the three of us went inside.

As expected in the evening, the guild was crowded with adventurers who had probably finished their requests.

We first went to the bulletin board where the request was posted and confirmed the details of the request.

The content of the request is to collect medicinal herbs. There are several kinds of medicinal herbs, such as herbs to heal wounds, poison removers, and medicinal herbs for illnesses. In addition, there are also mushrooms and nuts and the like, so the number of required items is different depending on the item, so we adjusted.

A quick calculation shows that this request fee alone could earn a few days' worth of lodging money.

Moreover, the people who have been buying the materials for medicinal herbs and alchemy have been divided up, so we can actually earn more money.

Well, there are a lot of people, so if everyone was an adventurer, we might just barely be able to stay for one night.

After confirming the request, I line up at the reception desk. There's only one acquaintance, though, so of the multiple receptionists, I lined up with my usual sister's place.

Good evening. Do you want to pay for your request today?

Yes.

Please!

They produced their wooden guild cards and handed over the medicinal herbs they had collected.

''Then let me check it out, please wait a moment.''

With that, the sister went behind the reception desk and began inspecting the medicinal herbs.

I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you. That's why today's requests are only fulfilled to the extent that they are collected.

'Thank you for your patience. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. This will be your reward.

The amount of the reward given was as expected.

And this will be your guild card.

The sister turned over the two guild cards and handed them to me.

'The more marks you have here, the more you can take the test to move up to 9th level. But you'll need to do more than just collect, you'll also need a request from the entire town, so please take that one as well.

Apparently, in this town, it's easy to accomplish the collection requests, so it's easy to accumulate marks. But in other towns, only requests throughout the town are 10th level requests, so you have to accept some of those as well.

Originally, on the day we were going to visit the grandfathers, they were planning to take requests from the whole town, so it was just as well.

I understand.

Thank you.

Yes, thank you for your hard work today.

After receiving our reward, we finished our first request and returned to the orphanage.
