Chapter 9: First day to work!

"Welcome back, Hero-sama," El said with a smile, unaware of what had just gone through my mind. She had finished bathing and was dressed properly.

Having eaten and taken a bath, there was nothing left for us to do.

There are no TVs in this world, and the only form of entertainment at night in this world is going to the bar, but I don’t drink and it cost money to have a late-night meal. I have to work early tomorrow, so sleeping is the best option.

"I'm going to bed, but what about you, El?"

"I understand. Hero-sama, please sleep soundly. I will wake you up in the morning," she replied with a smile.

"But won't you be bored while I'm sleeping?"

"It's alright. Fairies have their own entertainment at night."

"Well, if you say so, then I'll go to bed first."

I covered the lamp, which contained a glowing stone called Hikariishi (Shining Stone), with a cover. The room was enveloped in darkness. It seemed like using Hikariishi as a light source at night was the norm in this continent.

They also used something called Chikumaseki* to heat up the bath. It was a truly fantastic world. (Similar to traditional Jp culture of using stone or ceramic vessels filled with hot water to raise the water temperature.)

I closed my eyes and lay down on the bed. I remember about what had happened today. Before I came to this world, I was running away from girls who chased after me.

Then just as I entered the locker, I was transported to this world… called Edin? I couldn't even defeat the weakest monster on the continent…

But Gate-san was a good person, and I was wrong to doubt him. Seira-san was kind, and Raul-san, whom I met earlier, seemed like a good person too.

It isn’t all bad. El is also trying her best for me, and her breasts were a bit protruded, although not big, and there was a cleft in her thighs...

"Hnngh!" My thoughts started to head in a shameful direction, and I sat up abruptly.

"W-What's wrong!?" El, who was looking at the sky by the window, let out a surprised voice.

"I-It's nothing! I'm going to sleep now!"

"Ah, good night then."

I said good night to El, who was blinking rapidly, and lay down on the hard bed again. Thus, the first day in the different world passed.

…

"...ma...sama"

I could hear a voice from somewhere.

"...u...sama!"

Is the voice calling out to me? But my name is Kazuya...I'm so sleepy…wait, is this a dream? But the voice gradually became clearer…

"Hero-sama!"

At that moment, I opened my eyes wide. An unfamiliar bed, and walls, and ceiling. Where am I?

"Hero-sama, please wake up!"

The voice that had been calling out to me was right in front of me. A small body with green hair, dressed in a red outfit with butterfly wings. Ah, so it is just a dream after all.

"He...ro...samaaa!"

"Ow ow ow!"

I tried to close my eyelids again, but the fairy forcefully pried them open. Ah! I remember everything. This isn’t a dream, this is reality.

"Hero-sama, you'll be late for work."

I received a dissatisfied voice from El while I got up from bed. Seems like I fell

"What's wrong, Hero-sama? Your face is red."

I glanced down at her voice, and there it is again, that plump tick saluting like an effile tower. But this is just a natural physiological reaction in the morning. It’s a physiological phenomenon that no human can resist.

"I'm going to wash my face!" I rubbed my stiff body on the hard bed and headed to the bathroom.

The dim hallway of the inn was still dark, without any sunlight shining through. The chilly morning air dispelled my drowsiness.

Today is my first day on the job. I've never had a job before, even when I was in Japan. This is truly my first experience. I'm going to work hard and earn some money!

"Huff...huff...huff…"

I walked unsteadily, carrying a bag of powder. It's heavy! It's hard! I want to go home! What is this? Is work really this difficult?

The job I took at Muskul Trading Company was carrying goods. But even then, all I have to do was carry them from the warehouse to the waiting carriage outside the compound.

There are a lot of bags full of goods, so I have to make multiple trips, but the distance itself is not that big a deal.

However, above all else, the bags are heavy. At first, I was told to carry wooden boxes, but I couldn't even lift them. Even the strict site supervisor could only chuckle at my inability.

So, I'm now carrying bags of flour, but it's still heavy. As it is a large trading company, there are others besides me who are in charge of carrying goods.

They all have strong muscles and could easily carry two or three bags of flour at once.

"Please do your best, Hero-sama!" El also pulled the bag I'm carrying and is trying to help me. It's embarrassing to have a small fairy like her do manual labor, but I don't even have the luxury to worry about El right now.

"Buhiii!"

Finally, we finished carrying the bags and I collapse to the ground with an embarrassing groan.

"Hero-sama, I brought you some water," El flew over with a leather bag that looked rather heavy. I took the bag and gulp down the lukewarm water.

"You're really useless. Are you really an adventurer?" one of the men in charge of carrying goods wiped of his sweat and looked at me. I can't even find the words to return.

"Muu! You can't make fun of the Hero-sama!"

"Ah, sorry, sorry El-chan!"

Instead of me, the men apologized to El who retorted. In just a short period of time, El who serves me diligently has become the idol of the workplace.

"But, it's not good that such a nice girl is calling you as Hero-sama. You need to be more responsible," a man with short-cut golden hair says and the other men nod in agreement.

I chose this job to build my body so I could fight monsters, but I can't even do this job properly. Even without being told by others, I am filled with a sense of shame.

"Oops, the carriage is here. Break time is over." The men hurry to greet the carriage.

"Buhiii! Are there still more to carry?"
