Chapter 9: Looking for Work
In order for Nanami to study, we needed to earn money.I had to find some kind of work.I bathed and changed my clothes, which made me look better, and she started to listen to me more than before. Even so, the Ludia value of 2 is a barrier, making it impossible for me to get a job.
"Today was another bad day.I'm sorry, Nanami.
No problem, as long as Yuta's with me.
Nanami tells me this as we share a loaf of bread.The money we got from the ship won't last that long.I have to find a job somehow
Are you looking for a job?
It was an elderly man who approached me.
"Yes, I am.
"What do you say? I have a job for you that pays 50 gold a month.
50 goldnow that's a lot of money for us
What kind of job is it?
I asked cautiously here, because of the matter of the ship.
I have a daughter about your agethat I'd like you to talk to.
Is that all?
Yes, and if you don't have a home, I'll give you a place to stay, if you want.
I took the job because I had no other choice, even though I was incredibly well treatedand might get cheated again.
Good.
The first man said happily.
The man's name was Mr. Belfast, a member of the country's nobility.Immediately; Mr. Belfast took me to his house. The house was a large mansionwith servants, there was no doubt that he was rich.
"I'm going to take you to see my daughter now, but I don't want you to be surprised.Okay?
"Yes.Okay.
What does that mean? Is she weird?When I actually met Mr. Belfast's daughter, I understood what he meant.She wasn't a person.She looked like a half-beast.I listened to her story and heard about this phenomenon called half-breed, it seems to be a kind of curse
"I have a lot of business enemiesand it seems that someone somewhere has a deep grudge against me my daughter became like thisUgh!I can't help but pity my daughter.
When I heard the story, I approached the daughter.She was frightened, but I said proudly "I'm Yuta, this is Nanami, nice to meet you, can you tell me your name?
When I told her that, she was frightened and told me
"Farma
"Well, Farma, from now on we're your friends and you can tell us anything you want.
"Friends
She was born in this form, and until recently she had been living confined to her room.This is the first time she has talked to anyone outside of her family, let alone friends, so she is still wary.
"Farma, play with Nanami!
"Whatdo you want to play with?
Nanami forcefully pulled Farma out of bed and took her to the garden.
In the beginning, Farma was confused by Nanami, but she gradually got used to it and started to smileThe two of them started to play happily.
"UghFarma looks so happy.
Mr. Belfast said joyfully.
I'm glad that Nanami has found a friend her age.
Wellactually, I've brought someone like that before you guysbut that time the person I brought saw my daughter and said she was a monster and ran awayI stopped looking for someone to talk to my daughter for a while because of that. I still wanted her to feel normal and happy. I'm really glad I reached out to you this time.
Strangely enough, I didn't feel that Farma was a monster at allIn another world, there would be girls like that.
From that day on, my life at Belfast's house beganI would sleep in a proper bed, wake up, eat breakfast, talk to Farma, eat lunch, play with Farma, eat dinner, talk to Farma, and go to bed. After a month, Farma and I became very closeNanami and I became even closer, almost like real siblings.
