Chapter 75

But to his surprise, someone called him the very next day to inquire about it.

The voice sounds like a girl's.

It seems they are students from the Royal Guard Academy, taking advantage of their holiday to find some odd jobs.

The next day, he saw an orange-haired, seemingly enthusiastic Vouivre girl carrying a blue-haired... dragon girl whose expression didn't seem very harmonious, as they entered the shop together.

In short, we talked for two days and roughly understood that the young woman named Fiona Yang from Vouivre was planning to work here because she loved rural life and so on.

As for the dragon woman, I think her name was Chen Huijie. It seems she was simply brought along to keep her company.

Oh...

Do you have a hobby?

At the time, he was quite dismissive of it.

I am, after all, a highly qualified individual with dual certifications issued by the Flame Kingdom.

After all, he was a professional, while that girl actually intended to try out this difficult position just because she said she was a hobby?

Oh.

Little sister, don't try to challenge my profession with your hobby.

So, after working for a few days, his father suddenly walked up to him and threw several bags of luggage and Victoria gold coins in front of him.

"Starting tomorrow, you're going to Londinium."

."

"... ha?"

"What are you laughing at? Look at yourself, I'm embarrassed for you. Look at the girl you recruited, look, look, this is what Wilson Seed Station should be like!"

No, but--

"Alright, get out of here. We don't need you anymore. You've always wanted to go see Londinium, so go ahead. We don't need you here for now."

That's about it.

After the old man became fond of the little girl named Vouivre, she also helped a farmer pull his tractor out of the mud by hand, earning unanimous praise from the villagers.

I got kicked out.

He was kicked by his own father.

Damn it, how come they could pull the tractor out with their bare hands?! Are all Vouivre monsters?!

In short, omitting many details, this is his current situation.

Go to Londinium?

Please, those were his wishes from so many years ago!

It was just a simple longing for the outside world when I was a kid.

So, in reality, he simply changed buses a few times and rented a house in a Mobile City on the neighboring border.

At the same time, in order to keep myself from being idle, I specifically found a job.

The general content seems to pertain to the verification of entry and exit of Mobile City fringe plots.

Is it really possible to outsource this kind of work to a temporary worker like him?

Shouldn't this type of work theoretically be under the jurisdiction of the government, or directly handed over to the city's garrison?

Oh, I remember now, it was the outsourcing company that the city defense forces paid for.

The outsourcing company then posted notices directly on the street to recruit people.

Tsk...

This is very Victoria.

Aiden Wilson stood at the tall gate beneath the wall.

Then I looked at my uniform, which still smelled a bit like...

These clothes don't seem to be brand new...

"Oh well, the teacher said that people who only complain can't get anything done. Cheer up."

He patted his face, then looked up at the car slowly approaching from the side.

Ursus -branded land vehicles?

"Hello, please stop for inspection."

He raised his hand and held up the sign.

Soon, the land vehicle stopped, and two women got out.

The contrast between their black and white hair colors is quite striking.

"Welcome to Victoria's Mobile City. Next, we will be conducting tests for Oripathy infection on both of you, as well as checking the vehicle for hazardous materials. Your cooperation is appreciated."

"No problem."

Laurentina nodded, and then, together with the Doctor, followed Aiden to the Originium testing equipment on the side.

"... Both of them showed no abnormalities."

"Next, please register your information."

Laurentina.

"Okay, Ms. Laurentina, right? And this is..."

Aiden diligently wrote down the contents in his notebook.

The Doctor was taken aback. He was about to say that his name was Doctor, but then he thought about it and realized that the name was too strange!

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly opened her mouth and spoke.

"Doug Te."

"Okay, Ms. Te, your information has been collected. I will begin printing your temporary passes now."

After Aiden finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and entered the information into the terminal, then handed the two newly printed information cards to Laurentina and the Doctor.

The kind of work he just did was just the beginning. By the end of the day, he had experienced what true busyness meant.

But that's okay.

That's all there is to it. He believes that as long as he remains enthusiastic and takes it seriously, he can also demonstrate his excellence here!

"Aiden Wilson, is that right?"

"Yes."

"You're fired."

"... well?"

"Um, may I ask why...?"

"Your efficiency is significantly lower than your colleagues'. I believe you're slowing down the entire security check process. Therefore, in order to ensure..."

"Wait, wait, but I followed the instructions in the manual step by step. How could anyone else be faster than me...?"

Aiden stood there, stunned, then suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and looked at the other checkpoints.

I saw my colleague there yawning, and after stuffing the person into the examination instrument for the Oripathy infection, he simply waved them away without any alarm flashing.

No names were registered, no information was entered, and no temporary passes were issued.

"They... they..."

Aiden was about to say something, but the next person to be checked was an Ursus man, accompanied by a white-haired woman dressed in a style somewhat reminiscent of the Flame Kingdom.

The former smiled and stuffed a few silver coins into the inspector's hand. Only then did the latter begin to impatiently ask them for information.

They were then given two temporary passes.

But, but...

What about those who don't have temporary passes?

If it's discovered, they'll be kicked out!

He turned his head and looked at his nominal superior.

"It's a pity, Aiden."

"Sir, you don't seem suited for this job."

"By the way, your first day's pay, after deducting the cost of the temporary passes you distributed, is zero."

"I hope you find a job that's truly right for you. Goodbye."

Chapter Thirty-Five: Farewell, and... Laurentina wanted to be alone with him!

"Well, now that we're in Victoria... I think I don't need you two to stay with me any longer."

The Doctor parked the land vehicle on the side of the street, then got out and bowed solemnly to Laurentina.

Throughout the journey, I received a lot of care from her (Zuo Jian), so at least I should thank her when we parted.

"Oh? You're planning to make your way in Victoria all by yourself? All by yourself?"

Laurentina was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to directly propose leaving them.

"Yes, I have caused you both a lot of trouble so far, but I have also received a lot of help. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely find a way to thank you."

"It was indeed quite a hassle. If we hadn't had to carry luggage, we probably could have arrived in Victoria several days earlier."

Laurentina showed no sign of accepting the Doctor's gratitude, instead responding with sarcastic remarks.

Well, that's the truth, isn't it?

"But let me ask you one more question: are you sure you want to leave alone? Don't think that a big city is safer than the wilderness."

She stepped forward and pinched the Doctor's cheek.

"Besides, a girl like you, all alone, if you were cornered in an alley, you probably wouldn't have any ability to fight back, would you?"

"Waaaaah--I... waaaah."

[Alright, Laurentina, don't scare her. I think she must have considered this situation before making this decision.]

The Zuo Jian took over Laurentina's body and then released the hand that was holding the Doctor.

"Doctor, since you intend to leave, I respect your choice, but—"

He stepped forward, placed his hands on the Doctor's shoulders, and then spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Do you remember the way you looked when you played chess? I hope that in similar situations, whether it's on the chessboard or anywhere else, you'd better not offer your opinions."

"And don't try to interfere."

"Especially now that you have amnesia and are unfamiliar with the place."

Zuo Jian looked at the Doctor with his blue eyes and said with utmost seriousness.

"Sigh... amnesia... what amnesia... I didn't tell you anything about amnesia--"

"Who would tell others that their name is Doctor?"

"That makes more sense. The expression on your face when you said that title made it seem like you had no other choice."

"Furthermore, isn't it strange that someone walking in the wilderness would need to rely on a guidebook to discern even basic common sense?"

"You! You! You found out all along?!"

"I think since you don't want to be exposed, it's fine to just go along with you like this."

He smiled, his gentle expression even mirroring the figure reflected in the Doctor's pupils.
