I want to protect you in this hand.

It's four moons. I'm eight years old from today.

Cyril and Will, who are 10 years old, are the guild's luggage carriers starting today.

I wanted to drop him off at the guild, but some new adventurers are crowded, so I stopped. Let me hold the egg sandwich, and I dropped it off.

Me and Mal, as usual. The two of us missed each other, but we took the gizzard grass, held hands and left for the city!

Leave the gizzard grass with your grandmother and clean the horse house. We can do four for two. My grandmother split the vegetables, dumped the garbage, and in the afternoon it's the demolition station.

Mal and I make 1,200 gills a day.

"Starting today, Mal"

"What?"

"Like Cyril and Will, we get paid, too, right?

"Hmm?"

"What money did you make today?

"200 gills of Kizza Grass, er 400 gills of Horse Shop, 600 for two meats!

"Do you think they'll fit?

"1200!"

"It's because of you."

The two of us applaud.

"Well, I'll give you half."

"Yes."

"How much?"

"Mmm, it's 600 gills!

"So what's the rest?

"It's 600!

"Why don't you rub that in half with Mal and Arsh?

"It's 300 gills!

"Let's try that."

"Yay!

We decided to do the same.

From the demolition station, pick him up straight to the guild.

Then there's the sound of applause.

"Uncle, what is this?

"Arsh, it's four months from today, rookie adventurer and to the luggage carriers, you're backing up! Look, it's the Zashes!

Proud zashes! Me and Mal clapped hard.

"Hey! It's Cyril and Will!

There were two proud people there after all.

"" I'm home!

"" Welcome back!

"Look, it's all because of this!

"I got rid of the rat too!

"" Ho ""

"" Wow. ""

"Well, why don't you go to the desk?

"Huh? What... Oh, it's me!

"Because it's 2200 gills? Half of it."

Half is 1100.

"When you split that between us?

"" 550!

"Yes, go"

"Yeah!"

"You're already on your ass..."

No, it's not! Because Cyril and Will are just being honest!

After I went to the desk, I bought some bread and on my way home, there was a skewer. I always do, to be exact, but I never bought it.

"" "" Skewered... ""

It's a celebration, isn't it? About as good as today, right?

"" "" Let's buy it!

I stopped earning money today, but the skewers were delicious.
