After we finished the sashimi, everybody didn't say anything. That is until Luna nudges Lana.
Lana:*sigh* alright. We're sorry for trespassing on your home and attacking you mr... skeleton.
Me:call me Yosif and i don't mind, it's not everyday you find a monster like me.
Jacob:Yosif if you don't mind me asking, what was that msgic you used to destroy the scroll?
Me:well it's not really magic, more like an invention of mine. It uses a special powder that ignites and propels the steel ball inside at high speed to deal damage.
Derek:wait were you a scholar to figure this out?
Me:me, a scholar? In your dreams, that was just sheer coincidence that i learned it.
Lana:it's getting late we should return to town guys.
Me:wait up Lana.
Lana:what is it Yosif?
Me:can you take me to town with you.
Lana:eh? Why?
Me:well living in a dungeon is not really ideal and i want to buy you another teleportation scroll for compensation.
Lana:but the people won't like you for what you are.
Me:as long as i keep my visor down and act normally, people won't notice it.
Luna:but where would you be staying and what would you do.
Me:well i can always rent an inn before i buy a house and i could always be a chef or maybe a blacksmith.
Jacob:wait you have money?
Me:of course i do.
Derek:where did you get that? Dead adventurers?
Me:Derek i've been living in a dungeon what the heck are you thinking.
Derek at least had the decency to look sheepish after accusing me of murder.
Lana:well i don't see any problems with that what about you guys?
Derek:so long as he doesn't hurt people without a good reason then i'm fine with it.
Luna:of course he can comes, i can't wait to try more of your cookings.
The trio look expectantly at Jacob who's leaning against a tree half-asleep.
Jacob:huh? Oh sure why not?
Lana:then it's settled. Cmon Yosif the town is this way.
The trip back to the town was quite uneventful, probaly because of my presence scaring off the nearby monsters. So i took the time to ask Luna about the land and the adventurers ranking. From what i gathered, the land is divided into four major kingdoms. In the north there is the Regalia kingdom which is mainly humand and kinda like Germany with their military obsession. In the south lies the Lycariel kingdom, the place is harsh and filled with barren deserts and more akin to a bunch of villages united than actual kingdom. In the East lies the elven kingdom Arindelle, which is self explainatory, mostly forests and elves with next to none human settlements. Last but not least, in the West lies the Novistud kingdom, where we are currently at. This place more or less belongs to Regalia as they founded the place and this place is a mix of people from everywhere and acts as a trading region.
As for the adventurers rankings we have copper(lv 1-10),silver(lv 11-20),gold(lv 21-30),platinum(lv 31-40),obsidian(lv 41-50), diamond(51-60),mithril(lv 61-70) and orichalcum(71-80). Orichalcum only have 3 people who actually achieved it. Master warlock Jacques, Nathaniel the great hero, and high emperor Gonzola. All of which are legends long passed so the strongest people right now should be around diamond and maybe mithril.
Lana:aaah, home sweet home.
Infront of us was a typical town you'll find in a fantasy anime. Clean brick roads, farmer market, merchants, and loads of houses though this town is probaly a small one.
Luna:so umm... Where do you want to go first Yosif.
Hmm the blacksmith could be a good choice, maybe an armorer as well. Wait wtf am i thinking, i ain't no isekai'ed shounen protagonist i already have my own gear.
Me:do you know an establishment hiring cooks, i need a stable income and i don't think hunting can cut it.
Jacob:are you sure that's a good idea.
Me:what do you mean?
Jacob:well you'll need to wear a uniform and you're... You.
Woops almost forgot about that. Eh, i'll just bluff my way through it. The owner will either doesn't care as long as i'm a good person or doesn't care as long as i bring profit.
Me:i could probaly write it off as horrible scarrings that can scare away customers hence why i wear the armor.
At this point Jacob stops asking questions and wander off to the... Church?
Me:i didn't take you to be religious Jacob. Maybe Derek if he's pursuing a paladin career but definitely not you.
Jacob:no i'm not religious. I'm just going to see Maria, she's a nun and the healer of this town. I think you gave me a concussion earlier.
Derek:and i'm going to the armorer, i need him to patch up the scatches those mountain lions gave me.
And that leaves me with Luna and Lana, not the worst case scenario i guess.
Lana:oh i know you can both get a job and a place to stay at the Courageous Courier inn.
Me:sounds promising tell me more about the place.
Luna:it's run by our friend Roxanne, she used to be a farmhand but took up innkeeping after people start praising her cooking.
Luna:she's usually... Explosive. But i think you two will get along well.
I have a really bad feeling about this but what choice do i have.
When we got to the inn it was nightfall and the dininghall in it was just clpsing for the night. Cleaning one of the tables was who i assumed to be Roxanne. If i had seen her before meeting the party it wouldn't be so weird but now that i know Derek i can't help but think she's his wild cousin.
Roxanne Gretaberg
Level 12 innkeeper
Hp:200
Oh what the fuck how the hell does an innkeeper has 200 hp?
The woman looks like she crawled out of someone's wet dream. Her assets would make a model cry and her curves can make Kim Kardashian look inferior. She wore a frilly sky blue dress that is surprisingly modest though the chest looks tight... Real tight. Though why would an innkeeper wear stockings with heels, women are just an unsolveable enigma aren't they? Her hair radiates a brilliant golden sheen that shimmers in the dimlight of the hall. The azure eyes locked onto the sisters next to me and the next thing I know she was standing right next to us, vibrating with excitement ans bear hugs the sisters.
Roxanne:YOU'RE BACK! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS?
I think just got tinnitus from that screech. Luna wasn't kidding about her being explosive.
Luna and Lana:Rox... anne... Can't... Breath.
Roxanne notices me awkwardly standing to the side and coughs a bit before dropping Luna and Lana on the floor.
Roxanne:it's not like i was worried about you or anything. Hmmph!
Did she just turn into a tsundere from a dere-dere?
Roxanne:who's the new guy?
Lana:oh that is Yosif he's new in town and he plans on applying here and renting a room too.
Roxanne:oh welcome to Gobi, i'm Roxanne Gretaberg, owner of this fine inn.
Me:a pleasure meeting you as well
I said shaking her hand but she suddenly leans into me and whisper.
Roxanne:try anything with Luna or Lana and i'll gut you like a fish.
Sweet jesus woman how in god's name can you be a dere-dere, a tsundere and a yandere at the same time.
Me:*ahem* well it's getting quite late i'll apply tomorrow how much for a room?
Roxanne:oh it's 2 silvers a night.
I handed her the money, quickly saying goodnight to Luna and Lana then get the fuck away from the dangerous woman in the room.
