Several days had passed since the rescue of the villagers in the monster settlement. Rosalina's name as an adventurer is now starting to be discussed by the Altira community.
As one of the novice adventurers, Rosalina has managed to carry out a mission that is quite big. It's even an impossible mission, because killing all the goblins in that settlement, with just two people is absurd. Anyone who heard it would not believe it. But it is a fact.
Not only Rosalina's name began to spread. Lyra's name also became famous. Lyra was already popular in Altira's society. But with this mission, her popularity began to spread to other cities.
Especially when talking about her role in which Lyra managed to kill the Goblin Chief alone. People are very excited when they talk about Lyra's achievements on this one.
Meanwhile, Ricky, one of the adventurers who went to the monster settlement, did not receive much appreciation. Ricky's contribution is as a messenger. From the guild and even Rosalina herself, they really appreciate Ricky's work.
However, when viewed from the outside, the importance of his position as the one leading the reinforcements was not very obvious.
Even so, Ricky, Lyra and Rosalina received an award medal from Lord of Altira, as well as a bonus from the guild.
The three people were absolutely happy, because the bonus prize alone was enough to support them for the next two years. Especially for Lyra and Rosalina, they got a jackpot from selling monster materials.
Lyra decided to live a leisurely life for the next few months. As for Rosalina, she went straight to Guild Master Altira to talk about her resignation as guild treasurer.
In accordance with what has been discussed with Theo. Right now, what Rosalina needed was freedom. Her job as the guild treasurer was too binding, as she needed to work five days a week.
Rosalina needs flexible time to strengthen herself and find her way back to Earth.
Not to mention, she and Theo were already planning to become a merchant. Rosalina will be a peddler plus adventurer, who will be traveling throughout Etheria.
With the money she had received from selling monster materials and bonus from the Altira Guild and government. Rosalina already has sufficient capital to start a business. With that money, Rosalina can buy salt and pepper from the system, which will then be resold to the cities where she will visit.
The quality of the salt and pepper in the system was much better than the one in Etheria. Rosalina could smell a huge profit in the business she was about to do.
Guild Master Altira really regrets having to let go of a talent like Rosalina. Not many people can do their job as treasurer as well as Rosalina. Not only about managing finances, but Rosalina also managed to make the guild have more profit from some of her policies.
However, Guild Master Altira also realized that long ago, Rosalina's adventurous spirit had existed. She just didn't show it because of her low level and strength.
But, now, with Rosalina's increased strength. It was time for Rosalina to spread her wings beyond Altira. See the wider world.
Therefore, Guild Master Altira could only agree to the employee's resignation.
"Thank you for all your work so far, Rosa. Remember this, Altira Guild will always be your home. If anything happens, call us or come back here, we will always welcome you," said Guild Master Altira.
"Guild Master..."
Rosalina's eyes started to wet, during the past ten years, if not for the help and opportunities provided by the Altira Guild, maybe until now Rosalina is still begging on the streets.
She was really grateful and appreciated everyone at Altira. All the guild employees and adventurers already become her second family. She felt comfort and warmth in this place. However, it was time for her to go.
The next day, Rosalina said goodbye to all the employees in the guild. They hugged each other and exchanged tears.
Though...
"Rosa! Don't forget us, stop by Altira once in a while, okay?"
"Bring gifts!"
"Always be healthy, and don't be careless. I don't want to hear the news of your death!"
Rosalina, "..."
She just wanted to say goodbye because of her resignation. Not to say goodbye because she wants to leave Altira. After all, the preparations to become a merchant haven't been completed yet.
"Um, guys. I'm not leaving right now. I think I'll be here another week."
"…Ah, I see. Then... let's drink to our heart's content, guys! Rosalina's treat!"
"Wha—!"
On that night, more than half of the guild's employees were wasted. Except for those on the night shift, all of them passed out after drinking too much. As a result, the next morning, none of the employees showed up for work.
It made those who had worked all night to continue working and the activities within the guild became chaotic.
Rosalina and the others finally had to accept the punishment. To work twenty-four hours the next day.
'Damn! I already resigned!' Rosalina shouted in her heart.
The next day, after Rosalina was completely free from her job. She began to make preparations to become a merchant.
The first thing to do is to register in the Merchant Union.
The Merchant Union is an organization that protects and rules all merchants in Etheria. Those who trade without registering with the Merchant Union are those who sell illegally. And will receive punishment according to the rules set by the Union.
Therefore, Rosalina needs to register and obtain a trade license.
At noon, Rosalina arrived at a three-story building in the center of the city. The building which is a branch office of the Merchant Union.
Rosalina entered the building, and saw that there were already many people sitting in the room waiting in line.
"Welcome to the Altira Merchant Union! How can I help you?"
A young girl greeted the arrival of Rosalina who had just entered. The girl sat behind the table that was right next to the door.
"Umm, I want to get permission to trade."
"Ah, new member registration!" The girl looked happy, she smiled broadly and then handed a wooden plate engraved with the number eight to Rosalina, "This is your queue number. Please go up to the second floor, and wait for your number to be called."
"Ooh~ thank you."
"You're welcome. Good luck, miss."
Rosalina turned around and went straight up to the second floor. On the second floor lobby, the number of people waiting was not as much as on the first floor. Including Rosalina, there were only three other people.
Rosalina while sitting in one of the empty chairs. Waiting for the number to be called.
"Number eight!"
About half an hour later, Rosalina's number was called by a woman at the front desk. The only table in the room, which was behind the woman and the table, were three doors.
Rosalina handed the number plate she was carrying to the woman.
"Please enter the second room."
Said the woman while showing the door in the middle. Rosalina nodded, walked to the door and opened it.
"Welcome to the Merchant Union! Is there anything I can help you with, young lady?"
An old man with short gray hair and a thick beard greeted Rosalina when the door opened. The old man smiled broadly at Rosalina, showing his neat white teeth.
