Author note: I have good news and bad news.
The good news is i'm finally done explaining the basic of this world and we can proceed the story. Yeeeeey!!!
The bad news is my holiday about to end. So the update might be once a week. At least i'm planning to finish the opening part before it end. The end is near!
A week had passed since the heroes came to Fruush village.
As the first week pass, Kevin, whose arm was burned black by Asche, got out from the cocoon.
“It felt like being reborn as a butterfly.” was Kevin’s impression when asked.
There was no after affect from his wound. From what Olwen told them according to the tier of the magic, even severed arm can be attached back as long the arm condition still good. However internal illness was impossible for magic.
In this world the common knowledge was magic for physical and medic for sickness. Pain and fatigue aside, it wasn’t even able to cure a fever.
Kevin who didn’t had any problem with his body also joint the training. His friend welcomed him with open arms.
There was no problem with that. However the night that day……
“Wait, there’s no room for me?!?!”(Kevin)
Night, after the men finish rinsed their body after the training, Kevin was left alone with no room to stay.
“I’m sorry but, unlike the others, the hooded lady didn’t pay for your room.”
Although Elfie knew the total number of the heroes, she didn’t immediately rent the exact number to save money.
In this world the money are divided into three, cooper, silver, and gold coin. Ten cooper equal to one silver coin, ten silver equal to one gold coin.
The stay fee for a night was three cooper coins. Of course it was small money but, for him who doesn’t have money he had no choice but to ask for it.

Kevin went to search for Elfie.
“Kevin, what are you doing here?”(Jane)
When Kevin was about to search for Elfie, he was called out by Jane. Behind her there were also the other adults.
“There still time before dinner. Why don’t you go back to your room and rest?”(Jane)
“Teacher, I don’t have a room. Lent me yours!”(Kevin)
“What do you mean?”(Jane)
Kevin explained the situation.
“Then I’m off to borrow some money!”(Kevin)
“Wait!”(James)
He was stopped by James.
“We can’t burden her anymore. Not only she already pair for our share, she also volunteered to the others selfish request.”(James)
“So you want me to sleep outside?”(Kevin)
Kevin asked that without any hidden meaning.
“No. We adults feel useless for not doing anything. That’s why starting tomorrow we will work to earn some money.”(James)
The adults who did nothing but, eat and sleep felt ashamed. Jane who took care of the children aside, the other four was useless. They can’t fight, their body too old to train, and their knowledge were useless here. They were
a burden.
At the very least they want to lessen the students’’ burden. After discussing it, they decided to work to earn money for living.
From the walking around the village, they already had something in mind. Finally the adults decided what they want to do.
For tonight, Kevin was stuffed into Icarus’ room. The next day Icarus had a black circle around his eyes.
After informing the students about their plan that morning, the adults started applying for a job.
At first the villagers were suspicious of them. However after a certain thought, they were accepted by them. That thought was, in a way they were the village savior from the evil demon.
Either because this was a fantasy world or the culture was around Mediterranean age, the villagers were nice and open to them. If this was modern world, the people wouldn’t accept a suspicious stranger like them to work there.

Benedictus, the priest, chooses to teach moral and spread his religious. He who was old didn’t have any choice. It might later become a trouble when it makes contact with this world religious but, this was his only option. It was effective to earn money, food, and hospitality.

Markus, who was the long hair that had the image of gloomy janitor, became a blacksmith. It was because on the first day he went around the village.
He spotted a particularly different house then the other and took a peek. There he was discovered by a grumpy old man.
