The Commerce Guild was crowded with people, just like yesterday.I don’t want to think that all of this is my fault.As I stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the entrance, I noticed that Tirumina-san was there.My eyes met Tirumina-san’s."Nicole-chan.""Hello, Tirumina-san. What’s wrong, for you to be standing in this place?""I came to the Commerce Guild to see if there was work here.""Work?""Yes. In reality, I intended to return to being an adventurer, but I was stopped by my family. I thought that, in that case, since I am able to read, write, and calculate, isn’t there work in that direction? So I came to the Commerce Guild to look."Reading and writing…Calculating…"Tirumina-san, would you like to work at my place?""At NIcole-chan’s place?""I started a new business a bit ago, but if I had Tirumina-san’s help, it would be greatly appreciated."I wanted a manager for the egg business, and an intermediary for the Commerce Guild."By the way, what kind of work?""Oh, r

I arrived in front of the Foucherose family manor after I left the orphanage.Cliff was whatever. I was here for the sake of treating his daughter Noire to pudding.I told the gate soldier that I would like to meet Noire.The gate soldier knew about me and told me to wait a moment.A short time later, Noire came running over from the front door."Nicole-san!"Pomf~Noire dove into my waist.However, it didn’t hurt, thanks to the Cat Dress absorbing the impact."It’s been a while, Noire.""It’s fine if you call me Noa, you know. So then, what did you need me for? Even if you don’t have any business, I welcome you from the bottom of my heart.""I made a dessert, so I wanted Noa to try it.""A dessert?! I look forward to it!"She tugged on my hand and took me to her room."So then, what kind of food is it?""It’s a dessert made from a clucker’s eggs."I produced a pudding from the Cat Box.Of course, I didn’t forget the spoon.Noa took the spoon, and took a bite of pudding."It’s delicio

The next morning, I got out of bed before the sun had risen.It was still dark outside.By all rights, it should probably be quite chilly, but I didn’t feel cold, thanks to the cat Clothes.When I went downstairs, I found Marie already up and about."Good morning, Big Sis Marie.""Good morning. Where’s Noa?""She is still sleeping. I didn’t want to wake her up.""Then, I’ll be preparing breakfast, so please go wake her up."I asked Marie to take care of Noa and began preparing the soup and bread that we had eaten for breakfast yesterday.A drowsy Noa appeared in the dining room."Good morning.""Sleepy.""That’s because you’re usually still sleeping at this time.""After we eat breakfast, we’re heading out, okay?"Today, I mounted Swaying cat before we continued towards the Royal Capital.There was a village along the way to the Royal Capital.We left after I purchased some fresh vegetables in the village.On the third day after we left the town:"Stop for a moment."I made Swaying ca

When I returned with the cage that was being pulled by the cat golem, all of the members were already awake."What, everyone was awake?""Everyone was awake?” is not the right response! There’s no way we can sleep while knowing that fifty thieves are headed this way, right?!""That’s right. As expected, there’s no way we can sleep in the middle of a probable attack by fifty thieves."Gran-san was also awake.Even though it’s bad for the elderly if they don’t sleep."Nicole-san, in the end, even I don’t think I can remain silent on this matter.""Big Sis Nicole, as expected of you, this time as well…""Even though I caught the thieves, you’re going to get angry at me?"At my words, everyone’s line of sight turned towards the cat golem and the cage of thieves. However, they were troubled about which one they should look at."Erm, what would be a good starting point to retort with here?""That’s a good question. For now, shall we listen to what happened with the thieves?"Everyone’s gaze

Nobody proposed a fight, so I wish you wouldn’t accept.The troublesome matter advanced without anyone asking for my opinion.In the end, it was decided that there would be a match, and everyone gathered in the courtyard."That child, due to the fact that she’s among the stronger people at school, she’s become quite impertinent, so please take her down from her high horse.""Mother! I’m not particularly cheeky or anything!""My, really? Didn’t you say that there weren’t any girls who were stronger than you?""But, that’s the truth, so…""That’s why, Nicole-chan, it’s fine for you to defeat this child."Hmm, even if you say that, I’m not sure how far I should go.She’s a noble’s daughter, so even if you tell me that it’s okay to hurt her a bit, it will be troublesome if she really gets injured and you bear a grudge."Erm, it was Nicole-san, right?""Yeah.""For you, are you specialized in swords or magic? I’ll let you choose whichever you want."With this pattern, when I won with a swo
