Sitting beside Alf on the driver’s seat, Tenma decided to take the opportunity to ask some things that had been on his mind.

First up was adventurers—and money.

“Alf-san, is it easy to become an adventurer? Are there any exams or requirements?”

“Becoming an adventurer? You just register with the Adventurer’s Guild. There’s an age limit though—only people fifteen and older can apply.

Adventurers are ranked from G to S. Everyone starts at G, and you rank up to C through subjugation quests, gathering tasks, and job completions.

To reach B rank or higher, you’ll need to pass a written exam, a practical test, and an interview. Most adventurers never get beyond C rank.”

Alf glanced over at Tenma, then added,

“There’s also a separate system for party ranks. If a party has five or more C-rank adventurers, they’re considered B-rank as a group. Otherwise, a party’s rank is the average of its members’ individual ranks.

By the way, Orochi—my party—is C-rank. And I’m a B-rank adventurer myself. Pretty impressive, huh?”

“That’s amazing… though I’m not sure I get all of it,” Tenma replied with a sheepish smile. “Are there other guilds besides the Adventurer’s Guild?”

“There are. Man, you're looking for work without even knowing that? You’re a weird one,” Alf said, half-laughing.

“There weren’t any guilds where I grew up. Please, tell me more about them.”

“Guilds, huh? There’s pretty much one for every kind of job.

Adventurers. Mages. Alchemists. Merchants. Mercenaries. Transporters. Blacksmiths. Carpenters. Apothecaries. And even rarer ones, like Beast Tamers.

Jobs without guilds are mostly the kind where you’re employed directly by towns, nobles, or the country—soldiers, servants, that sort of thing.

If you’re curious, you should talk to Marney about the Merchant Guild and Mario about the Mage Guild. They’d know more.”

“There really are a lot of guilds,” Tenma muttered, impressed. Then, as if remembering something, he leaned in a little.

“This might sound like a weird question, but… what can you actually buy with a copper coin? And also, is this usable?”

As he spoke, Tenma pulled a copper coin from his Subspace Storage and showed it to Alf.

“Oh, sure, that’s usable—actually, that’s the currency used in this country.

A cheap inn without meals will run you three medium copper coins. With breakfast included, five medium coppers.

A good meal with drinks might cost you about one regular copper coin. That’s the general ballpark.”

“When I left my village, I was also given some silver coins. How many copper coins is one silver coin worth?”

Alf’s eyes widened slightly. “Silver coins, huh? Listen close: one silver coin is worth 10,000 copper coins.

You could live comfortably for five years on that.

Here’s how the currency breaks down:

  • 10 small copper coins = 1 medium copper coin
  • 10 medium copper coins = 1 copper coin
  • 100 copper coins = 1 small silver coin
  • 10 small silvers = 1 medium silver coin
  • 10 medium silvers = 1 silver coin
  • 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin
  • 100 gold coins = 1 platinum coin
  • 100 platinum coins = 1 holy gold coin

You really shouldn’t go around telling people you have silver coins. If anything, exchange them at the guild or register with the Merchant Guild and deposit them there.”

“I understand. I’ll keep quiet about it for now.”

Unbeknownst to himself, Tenma had become rather wealthy.

He was about to ask about magical iron next, but first, he tucked the copper coin back into his Subspace Storage and adjusted his grip on his sword.

Just then—

“You noticed too, huh? Goblins again. Everyone, get ready!” Alf warned, slowing the carriage.

At his words, Tenma sharpened his senses and scanned their surroundings. Up ahead, the tall grass on either side of the road was rustling unnaturally.
