I decided to drink my Chuwachuwa and wait until Kazuma and Aqua realized at the reception desk that they had no money. Because I thought if I went and offered them money and help from the start, the value of the help I was giving would diminish greatly.
The situation began to flow as per the original story. Guided by the Tsun-tsun uncle, Kazuma's party was coming to the reception desk. Sato Kazuma, as expected, was an ordinary-looking teenager with dark brown hair and wearing green sweatpants.
"Aqua, today we're going to register with the guild and secure a place to stay."
"Got it. I don't really get games, but that's the common sense of this world, right?"
"Yeah, so let's go."
"A capable man like you, why did you have no girlfriend, no friends, and were just a hikikomori, an otaku? Why did you shut yourself in every day acting like a NEET?"
As if curious, Aqua asked Kazuma, and Kazuma made a pained expression as if hit in a sore spot. It was a quite irritated expression.
"Cut it out with the NEET talk! Damn bitch, don't combine hikikomori and NEET!"
The reason Kazuma reacted so sensitively was that a childhood friend girl, who was so close they even promised to get married when they grew up, started dating another delinquent boy in her third year of middle school, causing him great psychological trauma, so he escaped into games. Because of that, he couldn't really manage school life either.
Kazuma's party arrived in front of Luna, the guild receptionist guide.
"Welcome~ What brings you here today?"
"Uh, we want to become adventurers."
"Is that so? Then there's an initial registration fee, you see?"
"Yes, yes??? A registration fee?"
Kazuma looked at Aqua in panic.
"Do you have any money?"
"I was suddenly dragged here in that situation, how could I possibly have money?"
"Ahem... We'll come back later."
Kazuma's party quietly left their spot and sat at a table in front of me.
"What do we do? We suddenly hit a wall. Usually, at least minimal equipment comes, or living expenses somehow come into your hands..." "It's so inconsiderate!"
Kazuma must have played too many games.
"Suddenly all reliability is gone, well, what can you expect from a NEET."
"Cut it out with the NEET talk."
Then I got up from my seat and spoke to Kazuma's party.
"Hey, Aqua."
"Huh? Are you that handsome guy from then?"
"Did you forget my name too?"
"Ahahahat, I sent so many people, so it can't be helped if I forgot, right?"
At Aqua's attempt to act cute, I felt like I had developed an iron face.
"Who's that handsome guy?"
Kazuma looked at my face and asked Aqua.
"The person we sent here before you and I came."
"Nice to meet you, I'm also someone summoned to this world. I'm Cassian. Just call me Cassian."
"Hello. I'm Sato Kazuma. Nice to meet you. But Cassian... are you a foreigner?"
While eating Tode Tofu, I explained the backstory I had thought up.
"Well, the thing is, I was working overseas when I got caught by a black company and worked to death. I died from overwork. Hahaha"
"Ueh.... Somehow I feel sorry as someone from that part of the world."
Without much suspicion, Kazuma averted his gaze as if apologetic and scratched his head.
"It's fine, it's not like you were the black company." "Anyway, you guys are hungry, right? Let's eat something. My treat."
I ordered two Tode Tofu, a salad, and three Chuwachuwa.
"Thanks, but Cassian, you came similarly to us, how did you get money?"
"I sold the clothes I brought. Luckily, modern clothes are made from materials they can't make here, so they bought them for a high price."
"Heh~ More reliable than a NEET, huh?"
Hearing the word NEET again, Kazuma, with an angry expression, started pulling on both of Aqua's cheeks.
"Uheheng~~~~~"
While Kazuma and Aqua were squabbling, the food we ordered arrived.
"Wow~ This is delicious."
Kazuma and Aqua started eating the Tode Tofu deliciously. That's when I said something.
"That's fried frog."
"Wh... what???"
Aqua just kept eating, while Kazuma, who had been eating happily, suddenly turned pale and dropped the Tode Tofu he was holding onto the plate.
"Don't worry too much, it's not that you can't eat it or anything. When I came here, I saw that in this world, sardines grow in fields, so you have to get used to the food here too."
At my words, Kazuma glanced at the Tode Tofu once and then started eating only the salad.
"Kazuma, Kazuma, if you're not going to eat this, give it to me."
Aqua quickly picked up the Tode Tofu Kazuma dropped on the plate and started eating it. Anyway, she's a goddess with a good appetite.
As I just drank my Chuwachuwa without eating, Aqua asked with her cheeks stuffed.
"Cassian, aren't you eating?"
"Swallow before you talk. Anyway, I ate before you guys arrived." "Oh right! And I heard earlier that you don't have the guild registration fee? I'll lend it to you."
I handed 2000 Eris to Kazuma.
"Oh~ Thanks."
Kazuma and Aqua finished their meal and went back to the receptionist Luna to ask for registration.
After a similar process to mine ended, Luna looked at the card and spoke.
"Sato Kazuma, I see. Let's see..."
Kazuma showed eyes full of considerable expectation.
"Everything is average. Except for intelligence being somewhat high... Luck is abnormally very high. Luck isn't a very necessary stat for an adventurer, but with this much luck, I'd recommend Merchant."
Kazuma's expression changed to one of having bitten something unpleasant, and Aqua, who was watching from behind, started covering her mouth and sneering.
"Hey, suddenly your adventurer life got denied."
Kazuma sighed as if there was no help and said to Luna.
"Uh, uhm, please make me the basic job, Adventurer."
"...Don't be too disappointed. You can change jobs when you level up."
Luna spoke as if cheering up the disappointed Kazuma.
"Y, yeah, right?"
Next, Aqua started registering.
"Wow~ Except for intelligence being below average and luck being at the lowest level, all your stats greatly exceed the average!"
Luna looked at Aqua's card and spoke with surprise once again.
"What? What? Are you saying I'm amazing?"
"What day is today? Two people with amazing stats have come, it's truly surprising."
Kazuma asked as if curious.
"Two people, you say?"
"One is Cassian over there."
When Kazuma and Aqua looked at me, I waved my hand with a smile.
"Anyway, jobs requiring intelligence like the Mage types are impossible, but other than that, you can choose any job. Crusader, Sword Master, Arch Priest... you can choose most advanced jobs from the start."
Aqua struck a pose as if proud and spoke.
"Well~ It's a shame there's no 'Goddess' job, but in my case, I guess it would be Arch Priest, who heals comrades?"
"Arch Priest it is! It's a powerful all-rounder job that can freely use all sorts of recovery and support magic and is strong enough to go to the front lines without problem."
Woooooah~~~~
Suddenly the surroundings became noisy. The other adventurers and staff who were watching cheered because an advanced job appeared.
"Then, welcome to the Adventurer's Guild. Aqua, we look forward to your future activities."
Then, many people around conveyed congratulations to Aqua or expressed amazement.
"An Arch Priest suddenly, that's incredible~"
"Someone like you might unexpectedly defeat the Demon King!"
"Congratulations~"
Aqua, embarrassed, waved her hands in response. I guess I didn't get such an event because I just chose the basic Adventurer job.
As we came out of the guild while receiving congratulations, Kazuma spoke as if resentful.
"Ugh... Shouldn't such an event happen to me?"
To such a Kazuma, I asked, knowing but pretending not to know.
"Speaking of which, Kazuma, what did you receive as your special perk that you couldn't get an advanced job?"
Then Kazuma, as if deflated, hung his head and without a word, pointed at Aqua with his finger.
"So Aqua didn't just come down from the heavens, but came along as Kazuma's special perk?"
Then Aqua glared at Kazuma and spoke.
"Yes! That's right, there's no nuisance like this nuisance."
Then Kazuma, who got angry, started pulling on Aqua's cheeks again.
"What are you talking about! You came along as a perk and are a useless goddess who can't do anything! Acting all high and mighty just because you got an advanced job!"
"Ubehebe~~~~"
I stopped them for now.
"Whoa, whoa, calm down, we need to think about what to do now. First, our outfits are too conspicuous, so let's buy clothes first."
We asked people and bought a set of casual clothes each from a clothing store, and secured lodging. Of course, I paid for everything.
