In this episode, Yajin encounters the limits of karate's "complex negotiations form", and in a truly shocking turn of events, is now at risk of having to leave town or face being murdered!

Puppy is also yet to receive a souvenir...

One step forward, two steps back.

At the very least, Yajin will get some quality armor out of this town. The adventurer's guild paid him a pittance for getting the grass, and the physician's guild is making him work for free.

Skipping town as fast as possible is the only way I see it going. Not like there were any meaningful connections to be made in this shithole of a town anyways.

I'm surprised the guildmaster didn't insist that yajin stay with them. I guess he could always just have several of the guild members follow him at all times.
The guild members are supposed to be physicians, not spies... Though there are many illogical things in this plot. For one, a noble heading a guild is unthinkable. I could certainly see a powerful one influencing it from the back seat, but a guild's charter was based on the fact that it's an organisation for commoners and only commoners. Not to mention, it would be seen as beneath a noble to directly work with said commoners. Also, having someone who does not hold a trade appropriate for the given guild join would never be accepted. The other members would tear the guildmaster a new one for even suggesting it.

I don't see him working for free. They will pay him for his services. They probably don't want to pay too much to an outsider, but since they only need to do it once, as it's about teaching their own people, it doesn't really matter in the long run.

Seriously, that society feels highly unfuctional.

Nah, it seems about right. The Middle Ages had a strong guild system. Anyone working publicly outside of it, in any profession covered by a guild, would have faced dire consequences. It also wasn't uncommon that every decent person basically needed to belong to something, be it a family with a proper guarantor or a guild, unless they were in the service of the state, local noble, the church, or other such large organisations (being a sailor belonging to a legit crew would also suffice). Depending on the place, like always, simply being a vagrant could have been a crime.
