In this episode, Yajin goes to the bar to pick up strange men and follow them back to their home!

In this arc, Yajin meets with a foe he can’t just punch his way through.

Bureaucracy

Everyone is an asshole in this world

Yajin Does Not Fuck Around

I like this receptionist despite everything.

Man, Yajin lives a stressful life.

I'm surprised he didn't ask if the orb at the church reveals anything besides level information. He didn't want to reveal his status due to the pranks on his status. I'd have to read the earlier chapters, but I seem to remember that adventurers could check their status and I think that was at the church?

I can't remember how Yajin detects these informers. I guess they're paying attention to him and trying to get extra information on the new guy and he can sense that?

Well, I'm still confused that there was a guy in a random fishing village that was beyond his level cap (unless I misunderstood) and way beyond the other villagers. (I mean, how'd he beat a sea monster that was that strong. Things are already way more dangerous at sea, since you're depending on a boat and you're dealing with a strong monster with ridiculous stats, so that seems difficult.)

I mean she has a bunch of request that need to be completed and that locals adventurers don't want to do, then comes some guy wanting a rank up but lacking contributions so... yeah she'll dump that shit on him, so now we just need to know if they're going to play it "fair" and give him enough contributions points or if she's going to try and screw him.

Yeah honestly getting kinda tiresome already.

 

[lomentree]

Half the reason why I read this is for the comments lmao.

 

[Maplefield]

or if she's going to try and screw him.

Yajin: yes please ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[ValidX]

No novel?

 

[Narha]

I'd agree that gathering information is a vital skill, but I'd argue that it's in the guilds' best interest to provide as much information and assistance as humanly possible in order to complete the guild requests they have.

It's honestly rather weird. It's like some merchant or noble came in and said "I'd like to make an official request for some Komar herbs, (or whatever they were called) since I can't buy any from the available merchants, and I really need them"

"Sure, can you give me a description of the herbs in question? Or a drawing?"

"No! That's your problem now!!" *leaves

 

[Drakun_Auger]

Was actually looking at this the orher day cause I missed it.

At first, I thought of this being similar to westerns, Yajin rolls into town, stirs up the rabble-rousers, beats them, then dips, but now after reading Ushijima the Loan Shark; I see him as a wandering hobo, going town to town looking for work at the temp agency local guild, and dipping when the heat gets to be too much.

Edits were punctuation and minor changes

It is also a test. Probably they would help more if there wasn't a rank up on the line. They don't want a rank 5 constantly asking them for help like some rank 4 scrub!

In ancient times guild were like secret societies with ranks and well guarded knowledge only available for advanced members. They had their secret language, secret knowledge and some secret alphabets and signs only available for each level most like the masons, whom evolved from the builders guilds. The part of the nobles accessing those secrets is shocking though, medieval guilds didn't share their trade secrets with no one, even kings or the Church.

Everyone is an asshole in this world

Well, in our world too...
Imagine some random dude, not that clean, comes for the first time in your town: how can you be sure he's not up to no good ?
I think it's more about being cautious than being an ass to be an ass

 

[lazyman26]

Yeah honestly getting kinda tiresome already.

to be fair, we live in a (relative) safe modern world where be kind and helpful to other is the norm(allegedly), even toward strangers
but the setting here is equivalent to early medieval period, people of this time struggle to survive, they don't have time and energy to help others without anything in return (maybe except family and close community, but definitely not to a stranger)

 

[Ora0raOra]

So this is why city states got dissolved. No wonder.
