Chapter 0005 Guild Name - Song of the Mermaid

Aero turned his head and smiled at Napa, saying, "You are also a member of my guild, Vice President."

Aero sat down opposite the two, picked up a piece of bread, and took a bite.

President, President

Therefore, it has become an urgent priority to enhance the strength and influence of the Song of the Mermaid as soon as possible before winter

As for Blade...

Blaid, Bafi, since neither of you has undergone much combat training and your magical abilities are rather limited, you will both be registered as warriors and counted as one unit. As for the basic points of combat... I will write down some of my experiences (copying a bit from Old Tengr's tactics) for you, and you can try to learn from it.

The Song of the Mermaid

The Adventurers' Guild, by nature, belongs to the service industry, so we generally need to adhere to certain work standards of the service sector. Therefore, it is best to avoid conflicts with clients whenever possible. However, I am not suggesting that you should simply cater to our guests' every whim. If in the future our guests make any requests that make you uncomfortable or do anything that causes you distress, you can come to me, and I will coordinate with the other party on your behalf

Starting today, our guild will be called 'Song of the Mermaid', symbolizing the freedom to sing in the ocean, unrestrained. And the two of you are now official members of the Song of the Mermaid.

Starting today, our guild will officially commence operations. After all, we now have two guild members, which allows us to function officially

In summary, Airo turned to Barfi and Blade, stating, "After entering autumn, food will become more abundant, and correspondingly, the number of commissioned tasks will also increase. During this phase, the tasks may primarily involve assistance work, such as helping to harvest wheat, repairing houses, and so on. Occasionally, there will also be tasks related to dealing with small magical creatures like the hook-toothed rat."

Aero had a faint sense of foreboding: "You... don't know? There are four seasons in a year, 12 months. The hottest season, summer, has its last day known as the Sun Festival. Following that is the autumn season for harvesting crops, with its last day referred to as the Harvest Festival. Additionally, there is the coldest season, always covered in ice and snow, with its last day called the Night of Saints. After the Night of Saints, the entire land sheds its white cloak and becomes warm again, and the whole world transforms into a riot of colors, with the last day of spring known as the Festival of Flowers. You... don't know?"

Aero nodded and said, "Although these tasks currently require your attention, there are still some more important matters that need your involvement."

In the next moment, this guild operating certificate began to burn as if it were on fire, turning to ashes

Napa lay on the bar counter, not caring about it. Brad and Buffy, however, were sitting by the dining table, eating the breakfast bread that Airo had prepared last night, while waiting for him. Upon seeing Airo, the duo immediately stopped their food, stood up, and looked at their president.

Seeing Airo's cheerful expression, Blade also appeared very confident. He raised his arm, flexed his muscles, and said with a silly smile: "President, I know what our job is. So, what should we do next? Whether it's mopping the floor or farming, I'm up for it! I am very strong!"

The warrior seemed to have confirmed it, as Airo scrutinized Blade from head to toe, observing his tattered clothing.

In addition to the two permanent members of the guild, the Adventurers' Guild also has a member category known as temporary members. These adventurers typically do not belong to a fixed guild; they wander across the continent, treating various guilds as places to rest or gather information. Due to their need to roam, they are generally quite strong. I also welcome temporary members here, so I hope the two of you do not come into conflict with these individuals. They are not 'outsiders,' but rather adventurers who, like you, are making a living.

Because Airo's expression was rather serious, Brad and Buffy listened attentively. After Airo finished speaking, they nodded earnestly. Airo then asked them a few questions to confirm that these two fools truly understood the dispute before continuing to the next topic

Although I do not know whether Pelican Town has experienced attacks from monsters in the past, it is certain that corresponding events will occur in the upcoming winter. Therefore, I kindly ask both of you to be mentally prepared

We need to enhance the visibility of our guild as much as possible during the harvest season, and we also require two individuals who can quickly adapt to combat and master the skills of fighting

Buffy first spread her hands and said with a somewhat mocking smile: "(Fairy language) Tch, your human lives are really troublesome, with so many seasons. In our fairy kingdom, there is only one season in a year, all warm and very comfortable. If I had to say, it would only be spring; I haven't heard of any others."

The key point is that during winter, food becomes scarce, and many magical creatures will be pressured within their original habitats. As a result, many of these creatures will leave their original dwellings, and some will encroach upon human living areas. When these magical creatures disturb the farms here and in the illustrations, it is our time to act

Three years, 1000 gold coins

Upon waking up, Ailopan styled his hair, put on a hat, and transformed himself back into a young man. With a confident expression, he descended the stairs and arrived in the guild hall on the first floor

Brad scratched the back of his head and said with a chuckle, "Um... the Sun Festival, the Harvest Festival... what are those? I don't understand."

Then, you two are permanent members of the Mermaid's Song guild. Since you are permanent members, I will cover your food and accommodation. However, the remuneration for commissioned work may be relatively less for you two. Nevertheless, during the days when commissioned work decreases, I can ensure that you two will have no worries about food and clothing

What happened

As a warrior, this Blade still needs a set of armor. It seems that there aren't any good blacksmith shops in Pelican Town, so I need to find an opportunity to provide him with a set of equipment, and also equip him with some weapons to unleash the strength of this big guy. Hmm... Equipment also requires money

At Blade's call, Airo raised his head again, always wearing that confident smile on his face

Looking at the fairy again, she also had a confused expression: "(Fairy language) Can you speak fairy language? I don't understand... You humans have so many exclusive names, it's so troublesome."

Brad and Buffy felt somewhat confused, but they clearly heard the last sentence about informing the president if there was anything that could be resolved with the president's assistance

He took out the guild management certificate from his bosom, took out a pen, and carefully wrote the name of his guild on the guild name line

Brad and Buffy appeared to be full of energy, seemingly filled with anticipation for their future lives: "President, what should we do next regarding the *illustrated* book?"

After the Sun Festival, summer will soon come to an end, and autumn will be upon us. We must ensure that before the onset of winter, following the conclusion of the Harvest Festival, we make our mermaid song known. As for what to do next ...

Napa floated to Ero's side at an unknown time, and the cat face let out a cold laugh: "Your membership is quite peculiar."

Aero indeed did not know whether there had been any monster incidents in Pelican Town before, but after the previous slime incident, he was quite certain that this winter would likely be very busy

Haha, my parents never taught me about seasons or anything like that. Anyway, when my parents tell me to work, I do it; when they tell me to stop, I stop. I didn't realize there was such a thing as seasons regarding cold or hot weather.

Well, although Airo knew that these two guys were originally fools, he did not expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, they would have a dazed expression on their faces

Aero mentally calculates his savings ... 84 gold, 3 silver, 1 copper, 5 iron. He earned 8 copper from a previous task, with a cost of 3 copper and 5 iron, resulting in a total profit of 4 copper and 5 iron. Based on the daily consumption of the current population, the cost of food ingredients is approximately 1 copper and 5 iron per day. He will run out of the money he earned in about four days.

Aero took a sip of water, chewed, and swallowed the bread, then said: "Yesterday was rather rushed, and I did not explain in detail to both of you. Now, I will introduce to you the operational model of our guild, as well as what we should do next."

After finishing the bread in his hand, Airo stood up, one hand pinching the brim of his hat and the other on his hip, smiling as he said: "After breakfast, we will go to Pelican Town to promote our guild and increase our visibility. First, let's buy some paper to write more advertisements to post around mhetushu.com .com."

After finishing the writing, Airo took out a small knife and cut his finger, pressing his fingerprint onto the stamp section

According to the normal procedure, the senior officials in the capital should have already been informed of the existence of the gold mine. Following some bureaucratic wrangling and covert negotiations, it is likely that someone will come to the gold mine for an investigation in early autumn. The mining of the gold will undoubtedly disrupt the previous order of the magical creatures, making it a high-probability event that these creatures will cause disturbances in Pelican Town

Well, this reason is acceptable. At the same time, Airo also recorded it, and this knowledge can be incorporated into my future work "Investigation of the Habits and Living Environment of Flower Fairies". Such knowledge should also be able to earn some money when published as a paper

Once the business license was completely burned, Airo clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, my guild is now officially registered in the capital. I would like to discuss our work with both of you now."

However, many of the townspeople in Pelican Town are unaware of the guild model of adventurers' guilds, so we need to make every effort to promote our guild and raise our visibility. Starting today, the primary task for our guild is to focus on publicity.

Now that we are officially in business, we need to manage our finances carefully. ... Speaking of which, I really didn't expect this Brad to have such a big appetite ...! ... This guy actually finished all four dishes and a soup that I made yesterday. It seems that what he said about his parents kicking him out is indeed credible. He consumed nearly 1 copper coin's worth of food in one meal, which is about the amount for four people.

This is not a good thing for Pelican Town and some surrounding farms. If a powerful monster is inadvertently disturbed, it could lead to casualties.

Aero was just about to explain his upcoming plans when he noticed the foolish expressions on the faces of Brad and Buffy
