The Survival of the Third-rate Villain

Chapter 9 9 - Chores and Companionship

=====Indefinite Sub Quest: Want a Place to Stay? Do as I Say!

Conditions: Do your chores!

Rewards: EXP

=====

Looking at the sub-quest window in front of me, I smiled.

"I've been waiting for this to appear."

This specific sub-quest can be done more than once, which is why it says "indefinite."

Anyway, this is how I encountered this quest in the game...

Normally, the old man's place is locked and can't be accessed.

However, after being caught in his trap, he brought me inside himself to nurse me.

And once he'd tended to me, he told me to stay the night because I was wounded.

So, I did.

After waking up the next day, my character felt better, and the old man told me off.

From then on, I was able to access the cabin anytime I wanted.

Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal... But the cabin is just right outside the northern forest, the hunting grounds!

And upon entering the room where the old man let my character sleep, I realized I could still use it to sleep there.

In short, if I slept in the cabin, I wouldn't have to travel the next morning to hunt in the northern forest!

That's why I tried it as soon as I learned of it...

But after waking up the next morning, the old man shouted at me and gave me the sub-quest, "Want a Place to Stay? Do as I Say!"

And that's when I found out that whenever I slept at the old man's place...

I needed to help him with chores the next morning to pay him back.

That's why I thought of this sub-quest when I was

I asked him.

"Use magic and start a fire before you go."

Then he answered with a grin.

"..."

I stared at him, dumbfounded...

"[Ignition]."

After that, I hurried off to the river.

"That cheeky old man, I swear..."

I muttered under my breath, shaking my head.

...

*****

After washing in the river...

I felt refreshed as fuck!

I even recovered some of my energy and mana!

And so with that, I happily returned to the cabin.

...

...

"Just in time."

Old Man Rey said as soon as I walked in.

He was setting out our lunch.

"Let me help."

I helped him set the table.

Then after that, we started eating...

...

"Thanks for letting me stay."

I muttered.

"Why the thanks? You're not staying here for free."

Old man Rey responded, completely unfazed.

"..."

I smiled at his response...

Then I continued eating.

And after that...

My third day in this world went peacefully.
