I came to a nobleman's house.
　There is a gatekeeper who lets me in when I tell him I'm an adventurer on a mission.
　A large, well-maintained garden.
　There was a hole carved in it that looked like a slightly distorted rectangle.
　There was also a drainage system in place, and no doubt this would be the site of the pond.


'Good to see you!　Lately, I've been wanting to build a pond in my house. We've been short-handed for some time now.


　A slightly aged man dressed in a noble outfit appeared.
　As you can see from his statement, this man is the owner of the house and my client.


Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you today.

"Mmm. I've prepared a reward that does not commensurate with the content. I hope it's worth it.

Thank you. I'll take care of it.

"What I'd like you to do is get some water for the pond. There's a well a short distance away. I hope you'll make use of it. ...... Hmm, but I'm beginning to wonder if you're going to be able to handle it all by yourself.

You'll be fine. We'll make a pond for you in a minute.

I don't trust him. Maybe you shouldn't have hired this adventurer. I've been avoiding them lately because of the constant stream of work.


　From the way you talk, I'm guessing you didn't ask our guild for this quest directly.
　It was requested by many guilds from the League of Adventurer's Guilds.
　Then this quest might be classified as a remainder.
　So it was a quest that no one wanted to do: ...... .


I see, but don't worry. I accepted this request because it won't take long.

What?　How do you propose to end it soon?

It's easy. You just have to use your magic.

Magic?　Are you suggesting we magically prepare enough water to fill this pond?

Yes, that's right.

"...... Oh man. You're a bloody fool. No adventurer would have the magical power to fill this pond with water magic as you ask! How much magic do you think is needed? Don't disappoint me any more.

Well, let's just do it.


　I stood in front of the proposed pond and used water magic.
　I wasn't sure where to draw the water, but I reached out my arm and pulled it out from the tips of my hands.
　The water gushed out with great force.
　The pond was ready within a few minutes.

　As for the amount of magic it consumed, it was about 20% of the total.
　According to what the client said, the adventurer who gets this job will have a D-rank.
　A D-rank adventurer with the talent to use magic won't be able to produce enough water to fill this pond?
　Then I have at least five times the amount of magic I have at my age.


''It's ready.

.................. How old are you, Lord?

I'm 12 years old.

"How can someone at your age have this much magic at ............ impossible ......

Is this okay with the pond?

"...... Yeah. Can I ask one more question?　What are your talents?

"Talent is [effort].

The [effort] is ......?　...... means your Lord is the winner of this year's Freyparra rookie competition?

Yes.

"...... I see, that makes sense. I hear this year's winner is different in stature than in previous years.

　It's hard to say because I don't know who won this year's championship.
　I thought for a moment that I would look it up at Wisdom, but I decided that there was no need to do so.


　◇


　And I returned to the Tempest after completing my first request in one piece.

"Thank you, Eleanor-san. I finished that quest earlier, and it didn't take long.

　It took about 15 minutes, including travel time.

...... That's pretty fast. It's a bit far to the mansion, but ....... I thought I'd lost my way when I saw Revell-san coming back.

　We drove over the rooftops so we could arrive at the mansion early.

''As expected, you won't get lost. Do you have any other quests like you did before?

'Yes. ....... We do get requests to find lost pets and such.



Oh, that's a good one. What kind of animal is your pet?

It's a cat . ......, but the search request will take quite a while if you can't find it. ......

The cat's probably okay. Please take care of that for me.

Okay, sure. Okay, here's a description of the cat you asked us to search and where the client lives. You'll send her home as soon as you find her.

Yes, sir.

　And with that, I walked out of the tempest again.

　When I heard you asked me to search, I thought of a detection spell.
　I think this will help us find him quickly.
　When I saw the cat, it seemed to emit a bit of magic, just like the monster.

　Using the detection spell, the Freyparra had a number of magical responses.
　I narrowed it down to what the cat emitted, but there were still many reactions.
　I guess we'll just have to go through them to find them.
　There's also the luck factor, but since it's likely to take longer than before, I decided to train at the same time.

　I'm going to use my magic to dilute the oxygen concentration around me.
　It's a spell I designed based on the demon fire my father created.
　Exercising in this hard-to-breathe environment builds up your endurance efficiently.



　And 30 minutes later.

　I found the cat, delivered it to my client and returned to the tempest.


My quest is over.

'Haha!　Mr. Revell, it's too soon!

But it took me about half an hour to get there.

''Normally, quests can't be finished so quickly and easily!　...... Maybe we can finish all the quests in the D-rank band as quickly as this, so let's take on the cancer.

Oh, really?

Yes, you can go to this one.

　Eleanor handed me the quest paper with a smile.


　After that, I went back and forth between quests and tempests, completing seven quests in one day.
