Lazy Dungeon Master

help master somehow or another.
Even though I received a name, it’s like that.

There was a tapping sound at my room’s door.
Who is it? Well, obvious.
Kinue, the silky.
As the first step to master teaching her magic, Nerune, the apprentice witch, is learning her job and magic from Meat-senpai.
Since it isn’t mealtime right now, it’s probably magic time.
Master and Rokuko-sama could use the dungeon’s contact function if they had a task for me.
Ichika-sensei wouldn’t imitate elegance by just knocking but would call me while knocking.
Since the inn’s established [Employee Dormitory] is off limits to everyone but staff, the only person left is Kinue.

“Rei-san, I would like to clean.”
“… Kinue.
By using [Cleanup] to clean, you don’t have to bring cleaning tools you know.”
“If [Cleanup] could finish all of the cleaning, there wouldn’t be any cleaning tools.”
“E-even so…”

This silky seems to like cleaning without using [Cleanup] for some reason.
Even though I know what kind of race silkys are because of the information imprinted on me when master summoned me, this girl is praiseworthy, she just cleaned a earlier.

Well, I leave it to her though since living in a clean room is comfortable.

“Then I’ll be cleaning, so please leave.”

Like that, I was driven out.
… There’s nothing to do.
Hmm.

Come to think of it, along with cleaning the inn, Kinue is also studying cooking.
Nerune is training in magic too… if I could also use magic, I might be useful to the inn somehow.
… I’m the only one that’s useless, aren’t I… I don’t like it.
Wouldn’t my only use right now be night services… “Eheheh, are nights your specialty since you’re a vampire?” “T-that’s—please return my clothes!” “Eating and living idly for you is wasteful, there’s no choice for you but this.” … that kind of situation.

… Uu, my face reddened by thinking about something weird.
Although I wouldn’t hesitate if the other person was master, at any rate, I have to be use helpful somehow.
Wondering what I should do for now as I stood in front of my room, I left the inn for a stroll.
Even though the weather was detestable with the sun blazing down, it’s fine for the current me.

Walking for a short while, there was a field.
Golems that master set to work were harvesting crops.
Although there were several other kinds of vegetables as well, it appeared that right now it was harvesting beet-radishes to make into sugar… Should I help with the harvest?

“…”

… There’s nowhere for me to help.
The golems perfectly filled the simple work.
Moreover since I don’t have order rights for these golems, I’d only be a hindrance if I tried to forcibly help.
Since golems don’t tire, there’s no reason for me to purposely help out either.
Ugugugu.
So I’m useless here too?

I continued walking.
I came along to [Great Tsuia Mountain Tunnel]… Hmm.
So what.
The cave costs money to enter, so there’s no reason for me to enter it either.

… Ah, a merchant is passing through.

Burdened with a wooden rack on his back, it was the type of trader called a peddling adventurer.
Most of the traders that pass through here ferry salt from Pavuera to Sia to sell.
From there, they would ferry dried vegetables and woodwork from Sia to sell in Pavuera.
Oh, I could also earn money like that… No, to begin with I can’t do math that properly.
Not without [Abacus]-san’s assistance…
Uu, I need to continue studying my [Times Table].
Oh, but before that I need to figure out addition and subtraction, don’t I…

I’m not good at math… I wonder if there’s anything I can do…
… Next time, let’s consult with master about if there’s nothing I can do.
Ahh mou, I’m fed up with not being able to do anything.
I received a name at long last, I don’t want to be useless!

Atavism is the tendency to revert to ancestral type.
In biology, an atavism is an evolutionary throwback, such as traits reappearing which had disappeared generations before.
In this case, a throwback to the true ancestor’s resistance to all weak points.
