I Am Sought After by Everyone in a Different World Where the Power and Chastity of Men and Women Are Reversed - 5

Chapter 5: Suitable Job

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Yes. With this, the quest is completed. Everyone from Blue Eternity, thank you for your hard work.”

After the commotion with Albel-san earlier, Elmie and Ferris lined up at the Adventurers’ Guild reception to report the completion of their request. There were still some women glancing at my well, even though I hadn’t said anything strange. 

….By the way, most of the receptionists at the Adventurers’ Guild were beautiful men. So instead of poster girls, they had poster boys instead. Somehow, everything just felt so eerie. 

“As for capturing the bandits and what we should do with this man, please report those two directly to the Guild Master.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

We were then guided to the back of the Adventurers’ Guild. This reminded me of entering a principal’s office from my original world. The room was filled with expensive-looking things. There were even taxidermied monsters here. 

“I see. I get the gist of it. Those bandits must be the Wasteland’s Crow, a group of bandits that have made that area their base of operation recently. Those bandits have been causing some trouble around. Well done in capturing them.”

The Adventurers’ Guild Master of this town was an elderly woman with white hair. However, she wasn’t just any ordinary old man. She had a well-toned body, just like a female bodybuilder from my original world. Despite her old age, her muscles were something that even I, as a man, admired.

“Which brings us to the next issue, this young man here. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Thalia, I’m the Guild Master of this Adventurers’ Guild.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Souma.”

“Hmm… I’ve never heard of a kingdom called ‘Japan.’ What should we do about you…..”

That’s right… I probably can’t return to Japan. It might be different if I had been summoned to this world as a hero, but I was probably hit by a truck. I’m probably already dead so even if I could return to Japan, there might be issues with time axis and other stuff. 

“Umm… Can I live in this town? I’m thinking of gathering information while working.”

“That’s right. I think that’s a good idea. Don’t worry. There are plenty of good jobs for a cute guy like you.”

….Apparently in this world, my face was considered cute. The women here seemed to find feeble, weak-looking faces like me to be cute. It seemed they preferred someone like me rather than someone with a rugged and masculine face. The receptionists at the guild were also the slender and handsome type. 

“Fate brought us together. Hence why, don’t hesitate to rely on us if you need anything.”

“Yeah! If I hear anything about this ‘Japan’ place, I will let you know right away!”

“Elmie… Ferris… Thank you very much!”

Although I suddenly ended up in this strange world, I was truly lucky to be able to meet them.

“Well then… Let’s get Souma a pass right away. We should also lend him some money for living expenses. I will also recommend an inn where a man like him can stay safely without any worries. Can I count on you girls to guide him there?”

“Yeah, leave it to us.”

….I see. So staying in cheap, uncredible inns could be dangerous for men. I was truly grateful that they were willing to lend me money even though I was a complete stranger to them. It seemed they were genuinely concerned about me.

“Okay…. So your name is Souma… You’re from ‘Japan’… And what’s your job?”

“Job? What’s that?”

“Oh? You haven’t got your job appraised yet? A job is a person’s innate talent. While you’re free to choose any work to do, but generally speaking, you’ll be more successful in works related to your specific talent. Usually people get appraised once they turn 8 years old.”

I see. It seemed this world had a job system like in typical isekai stories and games. 

“Do you want to get your job appraised here?”

“Yes, please.”

I wonder if someone like me, who came from another world, also had a job. I wondered if I could get a cheat-like job like those heroes in most isekai stories. This world seemed dangerous for men, so I hoped I could get the strength to survive on my own. 

The Guild Master then placed a transparent, round crystal that was about 30 centimeters big on the desk. 

“Place both hands on top of this crystal, then a job suitable for you will appear. Also, you don’t need to share the result to us if you don’t want to.”

“Huh? I don’t need to say it out loud?”

“That’s right. Some people might receive jobs that they don’t want to reveal after all. Also, even if you receive a ‘bad’ job or one that you don’t like, you can just ignore it. You don’t need to feel chained by your job when looking for work.”

I see. Maybe this world had a ‘bad’ job like thief or swindler of sorts. 

“Your job won’t be visible to anyone else but you. So, just give it a try. There’s no need to think about it too seriously.”

“Got it. I will give it a try.”

I placed both hands on the crystal. My hands felt a bit warm and soon enough, the crystal started to glow faintly. 

Wow.. So this is what magic feels like!

『Suitable Job: Male Saint』

『The highest class of a healer and one level above male miko. A male saint is extremely skilled in healing magic and holy magic.』

“………..”

….The heck??? A male saint?!

I couldn’t help but to scream internally. 

…No, I get it. It’s the male version of a saintess… And Male Miko? I guess that’s the male version of a shrine maiden? No, but, the heck?! The new terms are too difficult for me to understand! I don’t get it! This is too much for my brain to process! I need more explanation darn it!!

This is bad. I can’t stop yelling internally.

“…Souma, there’s no need for you to say anything if you don’t want to.”

Ah, everyone was staring at me. The concern was evident on their faces. At least, male saint didn’t sound like a bad job. But… I wasn’t sure if it would be okay to reveal I had a job that sounded important when I didn’t know anything about this world yet. 

I would definitely be troubled if they tried to make me some sort of a saint and tell me to go defeat a demon lord, like in most isekai stories. In fact, I didn’t even know if this world even had a demon lord or not. 

….Alright. I will just say my job is a male miko! It should be safe enough since male miko is one level below male saint!

“It’s fine. My job is a male miko. Apparently it’s an advanced class of healer.”

“””What?!””” 

….Huh? So even this is still not okay?
