The next day he looks forward to living normally and also making some money. To do so he goes to the Mercenary Guild to register. As part of a test to get a certificate Arc needs to beat a beast, monster and finally a bandit. The knight agrees and takes off to prove himself.

In the forest Arc enjoys a meal of roast rabbit he bought from town. So far he managed to slay two boars though is soundly disappointed that he has yet to encounter a fantasy monster. However he gets his wish when an orc steps out of the trees. After killing it he brings the orc body and boars back to the guild receptionist. The receptionist is surprised that the knight managed to do all this in half a day. Though he accomplished his goal, Arc is surprised that he could have acquired a mana stone from the orc. Nevertheless the knight gets his certificate and registers as a member of the guild. Now allowed to tae jobs Arc decides to not attract attention and selects a job as an escort or herb picking.

The next day he heads out of town, just far enough to use [Dimensional Step] to the village that made the job request. At the door of a little girl, Arc introduces himself as the one who answered the request. The girl named Marca is surprised that a knight would answer her job posting. The two go to the forest to pick herbs but no before Marca tells her sister to let their mother know where she is going.

Arc inquires why the girl didn't inform her mother beforehand. Marca tells Arc that if she did her mother wouldn't have allowed her to go on the herb collection trip. Her father died last year and hence her mother has been working hard for her daughters' sake. Marca hopes by picking herbs from the forest like her father did, and sell them as medicine that it will bring some money to support their family. Marca explains that the herb they are looking for is called cocora that can heal wounds. The girl guides the knight through the forest informing of the various things in the forest, impressing him. She nearly gives him a start when the Marca jumps off a cliff and lands safely on the ground floor. As she tries to tell Arc to hurry, the knight yells out in warning as there is a Basilisk behind her.
