5. Another 5 days

It has been five days since Karma has entered Orario. Looking at it now he realized that he had been extremely lucky. He guessed it was probably the legendary skill [Plot Armor]

When he had first arrived he had absolutely no idea where he was going to stay, but he dismissed those thoughts as he was entertained by the lively atmosphere of the town.

He was walking through the market area when he saw a young girl similar to his age walking towards him. He wasn't afraid of her since he was sure he'd be able to 'take her out' if she tried anything.

As she him approached he stared at her with curiosity without any change in his expression.

"Hello there, is there something I can help you with miss....?"

"Just call me Sam or Sammy, doesn't really matter. Anyway I have a question for you. Do you have anywhere to stay?"

"Well... no I don't miss Sam."

"I said just call me Sam. Anyways why don't you come work for my family? "

"Huuhhh?"

Now he landed himself a job as waiter in a new Cafe that recently opened up called Cafe Wishe. Apparently Sam had approached him since they were short of staff and he looked somewhat handsome even though he seemed poor. She thought that maybe he could increase their foot traffic.

Although Sam didn't know how to didn't know how to react after he found out that he had gotten a job because of his looks, he wasn't going to reject it.

Granted, it only provide him with food and boarding but it was still way better than sleeping in the streets.

However, ever since he had cleaned himself up for the first time after arriving in leaving the forest, Sam had been invading his personal space and acting a little clingy.

The next day she had insisted on buying him clothes, which he wasn't going to reject since he didn't have anything else to wear other than his old leather armor he came with.

That day was the most mentally exhausting day of his life. He had even comparing it to his days in the woods since the level of fatigue he felt after shopping couldn't be normal.

Still one of the things he hated was how most of the sales ladies would try to flirt with him, but since Sam was by his side those attempts didn't last long.

He ended up getting only two kimonos from her which he wore when he wasn't in his work uniform.

Today he was standing behind the counter in his waiter uniform waiting for his co-workers to arrive so they can finally open to the café for service.

He had finished the 'training' yesterday and was ready to serve the customers. Although Sam couldn't get him to smile, she still thought that he would be attract more (female) customers into their store.

As Sam stood by by the door he was contemplating what his next decisions would be 'Which Familia should I join? Maybe the Miach Familiar or the Takemikazuchi.'

'The Takemikazuchi Familia could help me train my sword techniques since Takemikazuchi is known as a Sword God, but it will be hard to integrate myself into their familia and helping them save Haruhime.'

'I could try the Miach Familiar since they don't have any active members to explore the dungeon and only have a single member, but then I'll have to handle their debt and I'm not looking forward to being tied down by such a burden.'

'I guess the Takemikazuchi Familiar it is, but the question is, would they except me. Aren't most of them level twos anyways. I guess I just have to try my luck.'

While Karma was in his thoughts, he failed to notice how someone was sneaking up behind him.

"Heya Karma!"
