8. New base
Even though it was a slum, the area managed by Florence is quite good.
From the center of the royal capital where the adventurer's guild is located, the environment of the slums gets worse and worse the further you go. Florence is said to be ruthless and a demon, but in fact, she was a fairly sensible supervisor.
Among them, I was given a house with extremely good conditions ... or rather, it was almost a mansion.
Surrounded by forests a little away from the slum, there are no other inhabitants. We can live quietly here.
The interior is normal, but living in such a house in the slums feels uncomfortable.
I've never received this kind of treatment at the party I was in before.
It feels like being an aristocrat.
Florence and her subordinates lead me to the guest room and I sit across them.

"This is all I can do. If you want, I can give the mistress’ property as well.:
"No, it's just ... I'm in trouble with money."
It's more than enough for a base.
Even though I just healed her injury, I’m extremely pleased when I compare it to my previous treatment.
A normal small house would have been nice though.
"Then, how about I make a request to Nigris-sama?”
"A request? For example, do you want your subordinates to be healed?"
"Stay by my side"
"... Isn’t there a more proper job?"
It's been like this all day. It's hard to keep a conversation going.
Fels then pulls on my sleeve.

Is she a little angry? I felt like she was, but she then whispered in my ear.
It’s not like I was hoping for it.
" Nigris-sama. How about using your appraisal skills to advise Florence's subordinates?"
"Advice ... Certainly, it's a job that only I can do."
After listening to Fels' advice and speaking to Florence, she let out a voice of admiration and agreed.
The fee is exceptional, one gold coin per person. I said I didn't need that much, but she didn't listen.
I appraise the subordinates who came to the mansion as escorts one by one.
"Appraisal"
Ten people.
It took about 30 minutes, but it turned out to be interesting.
Ad
When I touch the person who I’m appraising, I can feel the strength and agility of that person.
It's a new discovery, but it can't be displayed with numbers or letters like A.
Their aptitude for swordsmanship is high, and all of them are B-class humans.
No one has magic aptitude.
I'd like to have an attack magician in my party as well.
"You should use a spear instead of a sword. You're strong and have good dexterity. And since you're not very tall, you'll be good with your hands."
"Oh, oh ... I've never used a spear."
"I don't have much experience with opponents either, but if you’re facing a swordsman, you can passively aim at their feet. If you see an opening and strike it, you won't lose."
"Wow, you’re amazing."
I choose a weapon the person is likely to be suited for, and if he’s already chosen it, give advice on what’s likely to improve.
……Nostalgic. I used to give this kind of advice to my ex-party members. I was brushed off with "none of your business" though.
I never expected them to threaten me and even pull out a sword.
Now that I'm getting paid, I have to do my job properly.
No matter what happened to them in the future, I decided I wouldn't get involved.
I have a reliable companion called Fels after all.

After finishing all the tasks, I sit down in my room to take a break.
A few moments later, Fels came in and put a drink next to me.
"Please have a drink"
"Hmm, thank you ... what's wrong?"
Nothing showed on her face, but her pointed ears, the characteristic of elves, were dyed red, and she asked while holding the edge of her skirt.
"Um, Nigris-sama. What do you think of my outfit?"
" Where did you find a maid uniform?"
"It was in the mansion, does it look good?"
"Yeah, it's cute"
The basic maid's uniform and the open chest area captured Fels' features well. The blonde hair and the white dress go well together.
I almost forgot she’s 12 years old.
Does she plan to be a maid while we're in this mansion?
"I’ll take care of Nigris-sama's personal affairs."
"No, no ... I can do that myself."
"No, I'm Nigris-sama’s slave."
Until now, I've done all the chores myself, so I'm not used to the feeling of having others do it.
...... Well, I wonder if Fels is having fun.

Thank you for the translation. Superb release rate with great quality too.
Thanks!
thanks for the chapter
Hmm… I read a fair chunk of the Rise Of The Shield Hero novel before dropping it… and some months later,repeated the process with the manga version… Quite some time after that (maybe as much as a year? longer?? hard to recall) the anime came out and everyone made a fuss over it.
Anyway, I’ve been wondering ever since Fels had her transformation……. well, if this author had intended Elves to be similar to how beastkin allegedly worked in that novel. That is, their mental and physical maturity both were tied to things other than their age – unlike how humans function.
Either way, I’m not sure how I overlooked this novel until now.
Thanks for the chapters.
