Vol. 4 - Chapter 215 - Mona of Collection department



Hmm... So, a Brave is likened to a heavenly being? What an apt phrase. Incidentally, my dungeon equipment goes by the name of the Firmament series.

We three are currently on our way to the trap disarming department.

The reaction I received when I introduced myself was so strong that I couldn't stop myself from bursting out in laughter.

Nonetheless, the existence of a Brave for ordinary students appears to be as dazzling as the stars in the sky.I dare say Hannah must be receiving the same treatment as mine today. Honestly, I also wanted to see how Hannah was coping with a similar situation.

"Or rather, why did you come to the collection department? I thought someone like a Brave would be attending a class called "Es-Esteemed nobles attended" ?"

"You're misinterpreting something. My job may be <Brave>, but I'm not brave at work. I was a bit intrigued by the collection department, so I came to check it out. Though the interest has faded away. "

"I-I see. Certainly, having a job and actually working are two different matters, as you say. My apologies

That was kind of vague, but it seems my wordplay managed to deceive him. What a gullible student he (?) is.

Let's continue with our introduction now that he has calmed down.

"Oh, he's Celestine, a <Butler> and also my attendant."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Celestine."

"What about you?"

"Ah, it's my pleasure too. I'm <Farmer> Mona. Other people are frequently misunderstood, but I'm a man."

Oh, it seems he is worried about this aspect. Well, even his voice sounds neutral too, after all.

"Nice to meet you. Since you're a <Farmer>, are you in the collection department? "

In the world of <Dungeon Activity>, all resources are covered by materials procured from dungeons. That's why the <Farmer> in the <Dungeon Activity> aren't peasants but classified as a type of collection job.

They are especially outstanding in <Harvesting> as not only can they increase the quality or quantity of the harvesting drops, they can even excel in skills that can quicken the restoration of harvesting points or skills that can detect the harvesting location. Another main feature is that they can secure rare materials the combat department is unable to, and there are even some locations you can't harvest without <Farmer>. By the way, it's a mid-ranking job.

Another thing to note is that they also possess more or less some fighting power since their job category is basically dungeon capture major.

"Yes. Honestly speaking, I wanted a combat-related job, but unfortunately, neither by body nor by personality, I am apt for battle-related parts.

"It seems so. Is that why you're going to try the trap disarming department? "

"That's right. I reckon I can harvest more smoothly if I can learn about traps. "

Trap disarming department work mainly revolves around diving into the dungeon, disarming the traps, collecting them, and bringing them back outside. Dungeon traps are also quite splendid resources. What's more, they are more valuable than regular resources because traps are closer to an item's like existence. The most amazing part is that you can even use them again after disarming. This is all the trap disarming department is about.

In <Dungeon Activity>, even damaged floor traps can be brought back, so Mona seems to be aiming for such a trap retriever.

"However, it's just that the day before yesterday I got my job. With the Lv0 novice I am, I don't have any exclusive contracts yet but have to give my all. "

Incidentally, the exclusive contract Mona has mentioned is a contract between a guild or party, and is treated separately from when one joins a guild.

If you have the contract, the students from the Collection department can periodically tag along with the contracted party to the dungeons. This is an income source for collection department students and also a chance to rise. Although the exclusive contracts are basically bound to excellent students only.

Hence, they can only take the collection request from the academy or join a temporary party recruiting for fields without the contract. However, I have heard this isn't as fruitful as the former and the competition is very fierce.

That's why the students of the Collection department mainly prioritise getting the contract above anything else.

"I see. That's fine, Mona. "

Mona's determination to work hard with a clear goal and motivation to be honest moved me. I like people who are working hard towards their goal with such dedication. It filled me with the kind of feeling I needed to give them a push, to help them.

Let's give him a helping hand here. This is also a fateful encounter between us.

"Well, the contract would be impossible for now, but if you work hard, I promise to take you along with me for exploration for a while."

"Seriously!?"

"Of course. But that's only if you're truly working hard. That's fine, right, Celestine? "

"Yes. I don't mind. If that's what Zephyr-sama desires"

"Hurray! I will work hard! No, I will give my all! Thank you very much! "

At my proposal, Mona bowed so deeply that I almost thought he was going to perform a dogeza. This is a main road, after all. I have to restrain him before he hinders the traffic.

"Calm down, and you don't have to bow. Let's exchange our contact ID for now. "

"Yes! ... T-That, can you teach me how to use it? I am still not good at using it. "

"Ahahaha! You sure have a lot of trouble in your bag. "

Mona is apparently in class 9 of the collection department. A position much, much further away from other similar but excellent classmates.

I had to even ask if he was really fine with me multiple times to make sure, to which he resolutely nodded.

Hmm, I will first train him so that he doesn't lose to any of the class 1 students, so I will specifically remind him to have the determination of steel.

Now that I have an excellent harvester, I also want a <Colmer> for logging, <Coat miner> for excavation and a fisherman for <Fishing>. Let's ask Mona to introduce them later.

T/N : The chapter I had promised for delay (albeit it got further delay in setting out illustration and checking out on short stories of light novel).

I will upload a side story from light novel v1 in a short while. This one is from Sierra's perspective when Zephyr helped her for first time to get her the job of Shield Princess. Side stories are outside of wn and they will be randomly added, so they aren't included in regular or patreon schedule and will start with 1.xx numbering so check them out.
