Living as an Unemployed in Another World

2 – 1. Footsteps of the Mule (2)

2.

I didn’t have the patience to listen to Celine’s nagging anymore, so I tried to get out of her seat.

I don’t like the sight of me being locked in my room all day working nonstop these days. I want to be generous with her cute complaints. I’m feeling kind of bad today.

“Jin? Are you blocking your ears now?”

“No, maybe I was bitten by a mosquito for a while, or it’s because it tickles me.”

I shuddered and barely smiled. Hey Celine, it seems like she’s decided to tighten up my slack discipline today, but maybe it won’t turn out the way I thought.

I am the one who swore on the third day of my stay at the inn that I would never step in and work even if the sky split in two. After all, I came to yearn for a life without work because I had been working hard under the witch.

Anyway, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that no matter what I do, I have to be confident in my actions. It’s not like I’m going to do real work. I tightened my neck and said.

“Hey, Celine.”

“Huh?”

When I called out my name with a forceful voice, she opened her eyes wide like a rabbit in embarrassment. I don’t know why her face is a little red, but at least I’m sure she’s got the head start. We must continue this momentum.

“…… Why, what.”

“First of all, it is not a simple sculpture, but a product sold for money. I made eight coppers on it last week.”

“What? No wait, 8 copper?”

I could see Celine’s eyes watering with amazement as I blew a specific amount. Yes, you will be surprised You may not know that you receive pocket money every week, but I am already earning my living expenses with my own strength.

It’s an income that never compromises compared to those who engage in simple manual labor or low-level adventurers who are mostly flirtatious.

“…… What is it? I help out at the inn and get a silver coin a week.”

“What? To whom!”

“Who is who, to my mother. Were you just trying to brag about it?”

Celine looked at me and laughed. Damn, she’s the one and only daughter, but does it make sense that she pays a shilling every week?

It must have been the discretion of the benevolent Angela, not the miserly Mr. Cooper. By the way, don’t you know that giving too much pocket money to your child won’t help much in terms of economics in the future? I’ll have to tell you about it later.

I was thinking that way, but Celine sent me a slightly pitiful look as if she had read my expression. No why

“Jin…… I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not getting that kind of money for free, either? Look, when I wake up in the morning, I clean first, make fodder for the horses, do the laundry whenever I have time, and after starting business, I stay in the hall all day. Compared to that, what are you?”

“… ….”

“You barely get up when the sun is up in the sky, you don’t wash your face, you don’t make the blankets, and all you do besides chopping firewood and fetching water from time to time? The rest of the time, you spend all day chatting with adventurers, and at night you spend all day making that piece or something. Doesn’t it sting your conscience to use a room alone for free on such a subject?”

Stop it. Don’t beat me with words any more. Guy Celine, are you cowardly blowing facts this much? What kind of keyboard warrior are you? …… No, more than that.

“Wait, why do you know my daily routine so well? How else do you know I don’t make the futon? Have you ever sneaked into a room without me knowing?”

“…… Does it matter now? Don’t turn around.”

“No, you changed the words… ….”

“Anyway! Don’t make excuses.”

No, I can’t say anything. I asked because there were a few things in the room, under the bed, that I couldn’t show others. Looking at the reactions, it seems that they did not find them.

That’s good. Soon, Celine supported her breasts with both arms and crossed her arms with a brusque expression. That’s crazy big.

While my gaze was slowly falling down without him noticing, Celine sighed softly at her and spoke in a subdued voice.

“Gin, whether it’s eight coppers or a shilling, what are you going to do with all that petty money? Anyway, it’s money to spend quickly.”

I couldn’t deny it and nodded. To rent a room I am using, I pay 1 copper per day.

2 Copper if you eat. If you have the extravagant habit of enjoying a bath, you may even spend four coppers a day. A shilling a week from cutting wood all day would barely cover a week’s worth of living.

I quietly nodded her head, and Celine suddenly came over and held my hand with both of her hands. Why is he like this

“Stop the absurd delusions about being rich and unemployed. Let’s start something serious now. I will help you.”

Stop it. Stop. Don’t look at me with such a sad expression. Her deer-like blue eyes and moist lips are especially burdensome today. If you do this, I look like a bad guy for some reason.

Suddenly, with someone driving her like this, I tried to shake off her hand, but suddenly I thought it wouldn’t be bad to listen to what she was saying, so I opened her mouth.

“…… How are you going to help me?”

“What? Ji, Jin, are you finally ready to work properly? Uh, then let’s go to the carpentry apprenticeship in the city first, even tomorrow! I’ll go with you…….”

Surprised by my words, Celine spoke to me, stuttering uncharacteristically. And as soon as I heard that, I shook her soft hand without hesitation. Holy sh*t. I said something, is that the sound again? Celine, who was suddenly pushed away, looked up blankly at me.

“Why, why?”

“I told you not to go there! It’s okay to work in the middle of those sweaty men. It’s not enough to bow my head and accept me as a disciple, so I have to pay? I will not go even if I die.”

FYI, this is not an exaggeration, it is a fact. While working at the inn, there were several times when I fixed furniture or cut wood, and each time I was praised for my neat work skills. There was an enemy

But in this world, even though I was an apprentice, I had to pay a silver coin as an entrance fee, let alone pay. In the yard where even interns receive a small salary, are you trying to pamper people with lodging and meals for free?

After hearing that, he immediately turned around. Thanks to that, even if I have to go to the city, I don’t even go there. But Celine was talking nonsense, as if she had no intention of understanding my feelings.

“If you don’t have enough money, I can lend it to you! No, I’ll just give it to you. How much are you missing? One shilling? Two shillings?”

“No, it’s not about money, it’s just that I don’t like the treatment. Would you like to work there?”

“Jin, it is natural to pay to learn a skill. The apprenticeship treatment is not something you do for the rest of your life. They say that if you work hard for a year or two, you can make a living. What on earth do you not like?”

This is where the difference in values is revealed. Actually, it’s because I just don’t like working in a studio. I naturally avoided her gaze.

I am proud of myself as an unemployed person. In a different world with magic and monsters, living as an unemployed is not something anyone can do. I am so confident that I can write an essay even when a book tells me to.

The title is…… Let’s see, he lives as an unemployed in a different world. Nice, like a successful self-made businessman. It’s roughly the same, with the only difference being that time is rolled instead of money.

“Well…… First of all, do you really need to make money? To be honest, I can still eat and live.”

Although this was not something I would say in front of the family who accepted me, it was true. If I were in a situation where I would starve to death, I would have done whatever I could in any country. But look at my life now.

Unlimited rental of a 2-copper room per night, with three meals provided. In terms of time, I help with chores for three or four hours, and my personal time is guaranteed and my actions are free. Can I get better treatment in this harsh world? At least I wasn’t so happy in the witch’s grand mansion.

“No… ….”

It was only then that Celine put on a dejected expression, as if she realized my sincerity, and then she questioned me with her serious face.

“So, are you going to live alone forever? Marriage?”

What kind of marriage? What a marriage I’m too busy to keep this body alive right now. I thought to myself and listened to Celine’s words in silence. Rather, why are you so upset?

“No, but you don’t have to get married…… Even if you don’t serve food, you should have a house. It’s okay, but to borrow it, I need one goal a year even if I split it in half, but how are you going to save that money without working properly?”

“Why am I collecting money for one goal each? I will continue to live here.”

“What?”

When I asked back, Celine looked genuinely perplexed. Wait, now that I see it, were you planning on getting me out? Otherwise, it makes no sense to be so upset. Her hatred of white people was more serious than I thought. Maybe she’s on the same level as an adventurer. Please stop her white-hand hatred.

Celine thought she’d argue straight away, but instead of threatening me as she usually did, she asked what the wind was blowing along today, she hesitated a bit. Why are you like that?

“Then…… Are you going to stay at the inn?”

“Well, unless there is something special, right?”

“Really? No, well, I’m going to inherit the inn someday too, so I don’t hate it…… Still, should I say that newlyweds need a little bit of space for just the two of them…….”

“???”

I had no idea what she was talking about. So, if we try to understand…….

“Okay. What do you mean?”

“Me, really?”

You, this guy, got caught. Are you betraying me in advance, who is no different from a beggar family? Even if it is imaginary, the intention is impure.

“So. When you get married later, you will live here with your husband, so I’m going to go out without notice. Isn’t that too much?”

“What? No, that’s not it…….”

Celine got her insides out and she must have been embarrassed, so she waved her hand with a red face. There’s no way, she shouldn’t be weak at times like this. At this point, I deliberately acted out the growing sense of betrayal, thinking of discipline in reverse, and shouted.

“It’s really too much, Celine. Was it just that much between you and me?”

“What, what are you saying? …… What are you doing?”

“Of course we are friends. No?”

“Friends? Huh, no. What is that…….”

“To think we threw away our friendship like a devoted couple because of a man. I hope you will…….”

“… ….”

“…… Celine?”

Somehow, his expression is different from before. This isn’t it. Soon, her cold voice hit my ears.

“Hey.”

“Uh, why, what?”

“Get out.”

Bung!

Immediately after that, my vision got infinitely closer to the floor. As soon as his butt was kicked, he fell straight toward the stairs. I protested with my eyes, asking what the hell was going on, but Celine strode forward and slammed the door. Oh, she did something wrong and is being picky for no reason.

“Oops. To be out of luck in the morning…….”

My bumped knee felt cold. The weather is particularly bad today. While I was being kicked out, I trudged down the stairs thinking I would go down alone.
