2-Episode 2 There Is No Such Feeling At All
Cheer up, Arrell! Whatever profession they give you, you must be my proudest son!
'Your father is right. Arrell-chan is Arrell-chan.
'Your sister is on Arel's side too!
When I came home after the blessing ceremony, I was comforted by my fathers.
When a person is given an occupation, he or she can acquire skills that correspond to that occupation.
For example, if one is a swordsman, one can improve their swordsmanship (sword skill).
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's best for your goods if you're a merchant.
The influence of skills is so great that it is said that there is a difference between acquiring these skills and not acquiring them.
In other words, being "unemployed" meant that one could not benefit from these skills at all.
And unlike other professions, they would never grow up to become a [senior position].
The "jobless" are "jobless" for life.
In a sense, it's like being branded by the Goddess directly as having "no talent".
I've heard that even the eldest son of an aristocrat is thrown out of the heir's seat if he is found to be "unemployed".
My father is desperately pleading with me.
''Listen, Arel! Don't even think about dying!
No, I'm not interested in that at all.
So is your sister.
'It's all right! Don't worry about it, Alel will be provided for by your sister!
"No.
'Why is that? See, when you were little, you said you wanted to marry your sister when you grew up!

When did this happen? And I'm sorry, but you're not my type.
What?
'Because sis, you're a dick. I prefer a more feminine appeal.
My sister is short and baby-faced, just like my dad.
She's thirteen years old, but her breasts are flat and she's shorter than me at ten.
That's why I'm often mistaken for my brother.
My thirty-five year old father was about to be surpassed by me.
'Well, you have a lot of growing up to do! I've been working hard and drinking a glass of milk every day! Wow, a quarter of an inch is hard!
Six inches to go. Good luck, sis.
You don't think I can--?
Of course I'm thinking.
'As for your sister, your mothers will work hard for as long as possible, so you don't have to work, Arel-chan.
Mom calmly tolerates her son's biting of her shins.
She is the complete opposite of her sister, tall and glamorous.
I'm more like your mother, I guess.
I'm sure you've been worried about me for some time now.
To be honest, I'm not that sad.
I think.
It's not that I don't have any skills, but I think I can handle it, even if I don't have any skills.
The day after I received my blessing, I was sitting in the square near my house.
I was pretending to be in the square near my house.
It's a routine I've been doing since I was five years old.
It was the first time I saw my mother doing it every day and I started doing it with her.
People around me said there was no point in doing it.
I've been told that no matter how good your swordsmanship is during your childhood, once you become a "swordsman" and acquire the "Sword Techniques Elementary" it's easy to overtake you.
It is not meaningless. Just swinging a sword feels good.
As the buzzing, buzzing wind noise was echoing, a laugh could be heard from somewhere.
''Hey, hey, there's an [unemployed] training for a sword!
'Bu-ha-ha! Seriously!
They were a couple of boys my age.
In other words, they were the guys I had blessed with yesterday.
They both have swords at their waists.
"Maybe you guys are too?
I asked.
'You guys? Well, unlike you, we're swordsmen!
Don't put us together!
It seems that both of them were given the profession of "swordsman".
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you can do with it.
We don't need to do any fancy swordsmanship tricks, unlike you who are unemployed!
Well, watch it there!
They suddenly started the game.
Kang Kang Kang!
Swords collide with swords and sparks fly.
'Whoa, wow! I've never held a sword before, but seriously, my body is moving on its own!
'Me too, me too! I could kill a goblin in the blink of an eye with this one!
I see, it's certainly not a beginner's swordsmanship.
This is the power of skill, isn't it?
You can't get away with it.
''Hahahaha, I guess some "unemployed" person won't be able to experience this feeling for the rest of their life.
They slashed at each other for a while, switching between offense and defense at a dizzying pace, but eventually their breath caught and they slumped into place.
After waiting for their breathing to calm down, I called out to them.
''Since we're here, why don't you join me for a bit?
Then they started laughing loudly.
''An 'unemployed' with us 'swordsmen'? Buhahaha, there's no way I'm going to be a match for you!
Didn't you see the swordplay we just saw?
'No, it was because I was watching. Honestly, I thought it was just the thing to deal with.
The only person I've ever met in my life that I've had to deal with is my mom.
But she's too strong and not good enough to train at all.
If possible, I would have liked to try it once with someone a little closer to my level.
They rolled their eyes for a moment and then burst out laughing even more.
''Buhahahaha! This guy is an idiot!
Didn't the shock of losing your job drive you crazy?
Hmm.
Did I say something so crazy?
By my estimation, I don't think you can take on two people at the same time and still lose.
